Description Here's a quick sketch I made yesterday while I waited for a client to come and meet me. I was in my office and grabbed my sketchbook and a magical pencil a friend of mine gave me, it was a type of pencil I had never used before but I think I'm going to be getting more of those.

The title is "Alone" because that's how I was and how I've been feeling lately. Yet, I think some time alone might suit me well.

Why is it called a magic pencil? What can it do?

Well I think you used your magic pencil well on this one. Good job.

Oh, Alvaro, I'm in love with this!! It's beautiful! And I felt very alone yesterday too, I got dumped by an Irishman! It's not a nice feeling, I know. I remembered then why I am still alone after six years, rejection sucks.

I have to wait until I get home to fave this because I'm at work now and it doesn't fave for some reason on this computer.

and I wonder... does rejection suck more if it's from an Irishman? (grabs his chin while looking up). Let me know so I never date one of them.

So, relationshipwise we're having a little bumps in the road, maybe we could make a support group or something. Oh! we could make a revenge group against rejectful ex boyfriends/partners/significant others. But then again, what could we do? sketch them to death?

Hang in there, it's his loss and you know it.

Sketch them to death! Why didn't I think of that?

Yes, it is his loss, but I don't think he knows it. But you, Alvaro, honey I'LL take you if the other guys won't!! What is wrong with people? Well, the Irish guy said I was too good for him so maybe that's our problem? We have to get mean and nasty and bitchy and then maybe we'll find true love.

algomprado In reply to Creedysgirl [2009-01-21 15:47:10 +0000 UTC]

yeah... and when we'll find it then they would be to good for us.

Listen, if he says you're too good for him, maybe you are so you're better off without him.

The part I hate the most is knowing they don't know it's their loss. But hey, they'll notice in time and it would be terrible for them, and if they don't notice ever, then they'll live life in a blind state of mind.

It is really sad, isn't it? It reminds me of a song from Jimmy Eat World where it says:

You'll sit alone forever
if you wait for the right time
what are you hoping for?
I'm here, I'm now, I'm ready,
Holding on tight
Don't give away the end
the one thing that's stays mine.

Oh wow... never heard that song before. Sounds about right for the experience. If I've learned something is that timing is everything... so maybe one is ready and they're not and someone gets hurt.

Draw something, first thing that comes to mind. It'll make you feel better.

I'd draw your sweet face, that would make me feel better, but I'm at work, I can't!

Have a GREAT day Alvaro! I'm determined to have a great day myself.
