Who Does She Think She Is?
Of course I just found out about this film TODAY and the screening was YESTERDAY.

I'll never forget being called "selfish" in 8th grade by a Catholic school guidance counselor for wanting to play the drums and go to Berkeley School of Music. Not sure if she wanted me to bang my drums for Jesus or what. I sold my drum set in the Fall of '95 to come to L.A. from Boston to meet my then penpal, David. He proposed 8 hours after I got off the plane. We were married a week later. During that time period I journaled, wrote poetry and doodled. I blame Tristan. It's all his fault ;). Very shortly after he was born, David suggested I look for something to do. I was lonely without any family (other then David and Tristan) or friends in L.A. I picked up a brush again (I had put it down for a couple of years and forgotten about it-life kinda got in the way) and haven't put it down since. Art's in my blood and runs deep in my veins. If I don't have a glue stick, paint brush, scissors in hand for a long period of time, I ain't happy and you can tell.

That cinched it for me till my 30's.
I was livid recently when I found out she was made art teacher of the year in MA.

Contrary to you, I had an awesome art teacher... Ms. Hobildeehoy herself, Chris Harvey... she was an awesome teacher, and I kicked ass in the class, in theory, history and practical work. But... see where that got me... LOL I'm still just a wannabe... ;^)
