Doodles + Work = NOT FUN AT ALL

AAAAAAAAARRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!! This is pissing me off, so this is the reason why I'm going to rant this. Apparently, my older sister and my dad do not understand that if they call these doodles and pieces as 'work', I might as well throw everything in the bin and start doing some cosplay stuff and ignore anything that thwy're start asking me about work.

It really pisses me off as a design student. I'll give you many reasons why I don't like the word 'work' and mixing in what I love to do:

A) Work is like having no ideas at all, aside from a few research ideas and then expect to start drawing from day one and continue, until your soul has been consumed by the 'ALL WORK AND NO PLAY MAKE SHO-SAKA A VERY DULL GIRL' robot. I just hate it, it makes me want to cry.

B) My older sister and my dad always tell me to do 'work' for a few hours, but there's one problem that they'll never understand artists and designers who blog their rant on peer pressure: when they say a 'few hours', it's mostly taking a whole day staying in at home and expect to produce lots of drawing that you can mostly describe your own as 'shit' quality. And to be honest, I hate that peer pressure; they may like 'my work', but I'll always see this as 'shit' and 'something I'm going to regret later on'.

AND most importantly...

C) DRAWING IS SUPPOSED TO BE FUN!!! Get that, FUN!!! It's something that I'll always do on a whim and something that I really love. But one day, it's something that's going to be that I hate, thanks to her and my dad!!! And for once, I should really wish that they should call those pieces that I was supposed to do as DOODLES that can used to inspire later on, NOT works on the essay of what the word 'art and design' means to them!!! If they keep calling them 'work' one more time, I might as well give up the whole project altogether and lose my 'drawing' spirit forever.

I get really pissed off when they say 'work, work, work', but what ever happened to something like 'something you'll enjoy is something that you like to continue for your rest of your life'? It's really sad no one would see enjoyment of a hobby turned into a nightmare thanks to peer pressure. That's why if she and my dad think the 'work, work, work' attitude to me, then they made me go unmotivated on the doodle aspect and ending up ranting in my blog that neither her or he would find me here and expect some flaming in the comment box.

*Sigh*

Oh Noes! L's Name is Going to Change!

Death Note's been picked up by Hollywood! / O o O \

And what's worse? It's true and it's going to be developed by Vertigo Entertainment and Universial Pictures, which IMO, they make rubbish J-Horror remakes. Though only The Departed, which is based on some Hong Kong movie, Infernal Affairs, seemed to be good.

I'm really worried about this, because: A) Death Note's already had fans around the globe (including me) and B) When they see this news, they're going to go 'Oh no. Please not this!' sort of thing.

I just hope the screenplay writers would follow the manga storyline, otherwise, I'm going to stick to waiting for those two or maybe three Japanese live-action Death Note movies.
