Well, after brother only spent one night here, people near Houston call up and ask if they can stay here with us over the weekend as evacuees. So… for the weekend we had a husband, wife and three dogs come to stay. My parents knew the husband back 15 years ago. My mom was not pleased. My dad became very stressed over their coming. My brother slept over at some acquaintance’s house. I slept a lot during the day and didn’t see them much. They left on Sunday.
My mom stayed home Monday to recuperate and get the usual things she’d get done on the weekend accomplished. I was still adjusting as well. Extra energies in the house seem to affect me – drain out my energy. I slept a lot of the day but tried to get my chores done when awake.
I helped my mom make up her bed and somewhere in that she mentioned about a school counselor I often saw or hid out with. He apparently once asked her if I might have been sexually assault/raped. That surprised me. I never thought he had such an inkling. I responded similar to when Shred once asked me flat out. There was a slightest of pause, what I felt was a straight face and then a flat out no.
It seems when the counselor asked that she began to question about my brothers’ friends who would come over often and even of the foster kid they took in who were even older than them. I told her I don’t remember that far back. There was mentioning of suppressed memory and I said flatly, if so I don’t want to remember them. I did more chores – I think laundry – after that.
Sometime later my mother talked to me around morning time and somehow we got to talking about my “art”… oh, right. She was talking about imaginations. How she grew up when little she was very much into her own world, being a lone child in the country side. She spoke about my imagination and I told her the same thing I told Shred about my belief in my lack of.
Well, at some point I told her I’d pull my collection out. Some point she started telling me what she saw. She said characters usually have a sad, angry expression. There is a lot of distance. Some look vacant. Even drawings of couples have a distance or reservations. Stuff. She said there was a… sexuality? …sensuality? Well, it was one of those to them. In the end I told her that she made my drawings depressing to me, which they never had been.
My moms spoke of making something out of them. Pretty much she has ideas of me showing them off and making limited edition prints. This talk has come up before. Since I lack aspirations and usually most interests, I just eye and wonder why. She speaks of financial things and such… that has never clicked with me either.
She then asked if I minded if she sought out of a person she knew who could tell us whether my art amounted to anything of such level since she wasn’t an art guru and I just never cared to know. I told her I doubted it would be sell-worthy but agreed. After that I collapsed for some hours.
Upon waking up, my mom decided to meet with the woman. She works at a frame shop. Well, she was off picking up kids from school so we waited some minutes. I was still out of it so wasn’t quite there.
Well, she arrives, my mom says we and I tell her it is all her and leave me out of it. They look, they talk, and I don’t remember much other than making dry comments here and there. The woman spoke of art classes, her 18 year old daughter who drew a lot and such. She spoke of anime as well.
Um… in the end, she said something along the lines of I had ability, my art was distinctive, something about good instinct on position to indicate movement and whatever. I asked about her daughter a bit, what she was like and such because the woman said her daughter and I were similar in our art styles I think. Her daughter was also on DA. She couldn’t remember her handle though. Oh well.
So my mom buys a print she saw, it was of a black Labrador and I mentioned if we didn’t hang it up now, maybe she should use it as a Christmas gift for dad since he is impossible to buy anything for. She apparently agreed with my idea and asked me to hide it in my room until then.
After that I vacuumed before I ended up collapsing again. My mom cleaned her bathroom and then my dad came home. The evening went on as usual after that and remarkably I managed to stay awake until around eight.
I went to bed and awoke again around 11 and managed to haul myself up again thirty minutes later. Here I am. Bleh.
