These are my kitties! And what they really look like.

January 10
I was wearing my Beecake T-shirt today. Hence the bee (with alien eyes) and the horribly gaudy cake. (It’s also unevenly frosted because the marker was dying.) Beecake, if you’re wondering, is a band featuring Billy Boyd and three other very nice guys who I know very little about. They were playing some small venues on the east coast of the States and I was lucky enough to get to see them!
January 9
There was a funny moment at my friend’s house when she decided to take a bite out of a banana peel. I was inspired to draw some (very out of scale) fruit.
January 8
I went to stay at my friend’s house in New Hampshire this weekend. We spent a lot of the time on her couch watching Doctor Who. I’m trying to spread the obsession brilliance! That’s me on the right, and Annie on the left. She does not, in fact, have one freakishly long arm, and their couch is not that ugly. I took some creative liberties. Also, she is not wearing a sweatband. That’s just where her hair ends.
January 7
I worked from 1:30 to 5:00 today, instead of my usual 2:30 to 5:00. An extra $7.40 for me! I also drew some arrows in case anyone forgot how time works. In a linear sense, that is. Not the wibbly-wobbly kind.
January 6
Just doodles. But I quite like that blue thing. And the orange one looks like the Nickelodeon logo meets a golf course.

January 3
In the wee hours of the morning on the third, the remaining guests at my friend’s party watched the new Doctor Who specials. In honor of David Tennant (who I will miss terribly!) regenerating into Matt Smith (who I totally love!) I drew the Tardis. The color is a little funny because I couldn’t find the appropriate crayon.
January 2
Finally! My friend had a post-holiday party to get together with all the people who she didn’t get to see in time for the holidays, so I drew all the stuff we did. In the top left corner we have some costumes. We were supposed to dress as a unique take on Christmas (I was going to go as a Christmas palm tree, but I forgot.) and that green witch hat thing is a Christmas tree hat worn by one of my fellow party goers. The thing next to it, that one that looks like a clown mated with a Treasure Troll, is supposed to be Heat Meiser from Year Without a Santa Clause. In the top right corner we have Wii bowling and Wii golf. In the very middle are my gifts from my friend: a scarf with matching gloves and a leaf-shaped wallet! The party hat, champagne, noise-maker, and calendar day represent when we counted down to midnight on January 3 because no one was together on New Year’s Eve. (We actually drank cider, but I didn’t want to color it in brown. Ew.) In the bottom right corner are games: Bop-It Extreme, a deck of cards, and the bowl game, which is like a more complex but less lame Charades. We also watched The Parent Trap, represented by stick figure twins.

January 1
For day 1 I drew a calendar for January and put stuff I’m hoping for in this coming year in all the days. They might not make sense if you’re not me, thus the following description:
1. Happiness.
2. Time with friends. My friends are blue.
3. Inspiration. Denoted by what looks like a hairy light bulb.
4. Motivation. I was going for a Rocky-type thing, like when he runs up the stairs.
5. Money.
6. Learning opportunities. The arrows are supposed to indicate knowledge entering one’s brain.
7. A good ending to Lost. I have faith!
8. Good books. This is my favorite drawing.
9. Good movies. That thingy is a poorly drawn film reel.
10. Good music.
11. Travel opportunities. That’s why I need money.
12. Follow through. How the hell do you draw follow through? I went with an arrow.
13. Physical strength. I have a muscular disorder, so if I want to travel and feel comfortable moving around, I need to work on this.
14. Free time. That’s a clock with a price tag that says zero dollars. I’m starting school again soon, and I’m hoping it’s not going to make me too insanely busy.
15. Laughter. That’s a tough one to do visually, so I just wrote it out.
16. Matt Smith to do a good job as the Doctor. That brown triangle-y thing is a bow tie, which I chose because he’s wearing one in the promotional pictures.
17. Courage. The orange cloud with a snout is supposed to be a lion.
18. Health. I couldn’t figure out how to draw a real human heart. But I like this one. It has arms.
19. Good weather. This includes rainy days, which I like from time to time.
20. Good luck. I’m not sure if I entirely believe in luck, but it’s nice when good things happen.
21. To see Hair on Broadway. I was trying to draw a hippy making a peace sign. What came out was Jesus with a bunny for a hand.
22. Opportunity. That’s the hand of opportunity knocking on my door.
23. For my hair to magically be clean all the time so I don’t have to wash it. I didn’t promise that these would be practical. I should have drawn “to meet George Harrison” while I was at it. That yellow mess is my magically clean hair.
24. To meet Will. He’s a friend of my brother who sounds really cool. I was losing steam at this point and just wrote his name.
25. Focus. Denoted by an eye.
26. Freedom from OCD. I drew OCD in pink because I don’t like the color pink.
27. To meet new people. I tried to draw those little guys shaking hands. Like my current friends, these new people will also be blue.
28. The chance to meet the famous people I care about. That’s a red carpet.
29. Beacon to be successful. Beacon Charter High School for the Arts is the best thing that ever happened to me. It’s a tiny little school near where I live that was closed down by the state but reopened when my fellow students and I fought like hell to keep it open! I drew the comedy and tragedy masks, a little blobby chef hat, and a painter’s palette for the three art departments: theater, culinary, and visual.
30. A T-shirt with a Union Jack on it. I’ve wanted one for a while.
31. My driver’s license. I’m nineteen. This needs to happen.
I should have put Comic Con on here, but I totally forgot! If January had 32 days, Comic Con would be there. I was going to draw a little wizard hat.
