Thank you for the beautiful journal. I'd like to make more pictures of my new favorite superhero (That's you!) if you don't mind. Please don't mind. I like drawing you. You go from mild-mannered adorable to super-octane elastic in seemingly seconds!
You can do things with your face that maybe only Mahler and Shostakovich can get orchestras to do. Picasso would have died to have a muse like you. You are the GOD of all things impermanent.

You're welcome, thank you for the pictures! ^^ As I said, you're more than welcome to draw more pictures of me as long as the content is acceptable, which I know it will be.
Wait, wait, wait. Just a minute. Did you call me a superhero? SERIOUSLY???? I always wanted to be a superhero! But really, you're much too kind. I think Picasso would've been afraid of me. He couldn't have handled the MollieJ. ^^

Picasso and Cubism might actually have been a fitting attempt to try to capture the essence of the ElasticGirl. (Cubism, as you might recall, was an attempt to represent an image from endless multiple angles simultanously).
And you are definitely a superhero!
You want to be one, and I need one. It's a perfect match.

That's a good point, I never thought about it that way. I don't know too much about Cubism, I'll admit. I studied a little bit about older art, but not too much.
I'll do my best to be a good superhero and live up to the code! LOL

Cubism asserted that there was not one view of anything, but that the only true way to represent an object was by depicting it simultaneously in multiple views. Probably just your everyday existence.
There's no code. You are a superhero; you emanate superhero. You probably eat a bowl of cereal as only a hero could do. You have no choice. You are a superhero.

That's an interesting thought, when you think about it. Because nothing is black and white and so few things are only as they appear...I like this cubism style ideas! Very interesting stuff.
I'm glad you think I am, sometimes I have doubts. But now that you mention it, I am a pretty heroic eater! ;D

I like Cubism more in theory than in practice. I think the work often in inelegant.
I like Jackson Pollack (not a Cubist, just an artist I like), especially his drip paintings:

I have no doubt that you are heroic in everything you do! Even eating. Alas, I hate eating. There is no food I like. (I have been a vegetarian for 16 years, not for health but strictly for animal welfare).
The only thing I ever enjoyed was drinking alcohol, which I did immoderately for 18 years. I would drink for days on end, but never on school days. I would drink on weekends, school holidays, and all summer. By the end, I was drinking 20 cans of beer a day (and never got fat!). I was a fall-down-the-stairs, stab-all-the-pictures-on-the-walls-with-a-steak-knife kind of mean drunk.
But as soon as I got the diagnosis of autism (at 45 years old!), everything made sense, and I didn't need to drink anymore. I gave up drinking and replaced it with a worship of Kim Possible (I have no religious beliefs). I painted my truck with Kim Possible,

and I started drawing her between 20 and 50 times a day so that I had something instead of drinking to fill my time:

Kim Possible was my personal God and savior until last year when her voice actress, Christy Romano, who had always been a Disney good girl, who always played intelligent/strong/overachieving types took a role in cheap direct-to-dvd a horror film as an act, presumably, of desperation to get herself back into public view. (I had always associated Kim Possible and Christy Romano because Romano played the same character in the earlier Disney non-animated series The Even Stevens.) In this film (which I did not see, except for a brief scene on the internet because I could not believe it was true), Christy Romano was totally naked and got her head cut off. I still have days when I am certain that it can't be true, that she hadn't done it.
I cried quite a lot when I first found out. I went through shock to disappointment to anger and settled on something between quiet burning rage and overwhelming disillusionment. I had felt protected and had an unconquerable hero watching over me, but now everything was mocked and worthless and empty. I still draw Kim Possible, but she is hollow to me, an empty gesture, a sleeve flowing in the wind with nothing in it. People tell me not to make Kim Possible pay for Christy Romano's transgression, but I cannot separate them. I have very black-and-white thinking and perfectionism, typical in autistic people, and Kim Possible has been more than tainted, she has been destroyed. When I walk, I do not think that my feet even touch the ground anymore. But I wouldn't go back to drinking, for that is only a temporary solution unless one could be drunk forever, so the answer for me is to seek something more permanent, like jumping off a bridge. But the students, and only the students, keep me from that.
So you can see why I am so desperate to find a muse or a hero or a savior. All of those figures, incidentally, must be female, as I distrust and generally dislike males (I guess because I hated my father more than I hated my mother). Even when I see a doctor or a psychiatrist, I will not go to a male. I liked the show Kim Possible initially because nearly all the females have pupils in their eyes, and nearly all the males do not, which I took as a subtext (that the show emphasizes) that only females are potentially complete and that males are always broken and incomplete, even the nice ones like Ron or Kim Possible's Dad (both pupil-less).
Sorry to rant. I just wanted you to understand why I feel such a desperate need for a hero. I am falling, and I want someone to catch me. I just happened to pick you.

(Did you notice the flat, emotionless face? And the "Mr. Baker" banner above the door that an elementary school student made for me!)

I went to a conference for my school and tried it out and it was absolutely amazing! But I forgot to ask someone to take a picture of my hair so that I could upload it.
