I really like this drawing. I especially like the way I look in this drawing. I look really happy! But then again, you should probably know the story behind this drawing. Last year, I developed a horrible dependency on tea and coffee. I was staying up until the wee hours of the morning studying and I really needed something to keep me awake. But seriously, I feel like tea and coffee should come with a label like "Beware: This beverage may make you extremely hyper for extended periods of time during which you may act like you're intoxicated."
Ok. I guess my label explains what happened to me but if you still don't get it: I ended up being extremely happy/hyper from drinking tea. Actually, I don't think it was entirely due to the tea, it may have something to do with the fact that I put like 5 spoons of sugar into one cup of tea. Maybe. Anyways, I would drink tea and be hyper ALL day long. Being hyper made me REALLY, REALLY happy for some reason. I couldn't get to sleep at night so I came up with ridiculous ways to keep myself preoccupied until I could finally sleep. For example, one night I spent several hours learning how to make shadow puppets with my hands. IT WAS AWESOME!!!! I have absolutely no shame. I would totally do that again. I learned how to make all kinds of different stuff. One day, I was really hyper and I spent time drawing that drawing of me as a Princess. I'm kind of thinking about printing it out and putting it up on my wall, or the refrigerator. I shall have to ask the roomies about this. Hehehehe!
Another night, I was EXTREMELY hyper and wanted to go on an adventure. The problem is, it was around 11pm and everything had pretty much closed down. But have no fear, when you are that full of energy and that jittery, you'll do anything to have an adventure. So, we Googled all the coffee places we could think of (P.S. I LOVE google!!!! And also, notice the irony/flaw in our plan to go to a coffee shop when I was already stung up on caffeine), and we found 1 coffee place that was still open. HALLELUJAH!!!!
So, of course we had an adventure going there. I realized that it was the perfect place to go because the neighborhood was shady enough so that it was just a little bit dangerous and adventurous, but not so shady that we had to fear being shot. I loved it! After another dose of caffeine (yay for chai tea!), we came back to school and I was even more hyper. I distinctly remember singing the "Oompa Loompa" song from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory in the parking lot. When we got back to the apartment, I was still really hyper so I suggested that we go play hide and seek in the library. Unfortunately, we never got to do this because I basically started falling apart from caffeine crash about half an hour later. Sigh. No wonder I drew myself with such a happy face in my picture. Caffeine was making me an extremely fun person. Note: I'm not sure why it stopped having that affect now. I wish it would come back. It was so freakin awesome.
