i'm impressed at what a difference creating a crazy self-imposed assignment can make.
right now i'm finishing up the faces on a dozen sock animals (oh, weird coincidence. i'm not working in twelves on purpose.) i'm also seriously looking into grad school for art therapy and as always, i have my eyes open for a cool new job in some arts or education based non-profit.
but there's something about this social experiment that's different and really fun. i guess the fear of rejection is both present and useless. naturally i'm afraid of asking someone out and hearing the negative response, but let's be reasonable: if some girl asked you out and you knew she wasn't looking for anything specifically serious, instead she's basically trying to meet a quota, almost, you can see it as scientific in a way...OH! I AM IN NO WAY NEGATING THE POTENTIAL FOR ACTUALLY MEETING QUALITY PEOPLE! this has nothing to do with "quantity over..." maybe i'm placing my foot in my mouth right now. who knows.
what it boils down to is this: i realize i'm going to be facing some rejection. it's a given. statistically i can't not. and being prepared for it, i suppose, will not only soften the blow, but will make for some pretty good reading. i'm doing this for you, whoever you are. (and putting it that way just made me realize even more the potential for embarrassment. awesome!!)
