I'm Not Bad, I Just Suck at Drawing

A great new blogger I found, (which is to say my discovery (which is not to say I "discovered" her in some "I'm ready for my close up Mr. Demill" way) is new, she looks way too adult to be "new" herself) Zannah over at Write, Rinse, Repeat recently wrote about drawing in her blog and it got me thinking about why I don't draw in my blog.

Ummm, because I suck at drawing, I am a self proclaimed perfectionista and I'd erase more than I draw.... I'm to bad drawing what I am to bad punctuation and run on sentences.

 

Zannah recently won the popularity contest over at YeahWrite.me. Now before you start getting all "of course the head cheerleader won the prom queen contest" on me, I want to state that you vote on blog entries and there are several "winners" but one is the most popular entry where it garnered the most votes. So yes, the hot blonde girl is your new class president. She did so without drawing anything other than drawing attention to herself with awesomely funny blog writing.

(Dude, why are you belittling this contest that you've participated in the last three weeks?) I've got my itty bitty widdle feewings hurt, just an itty bitty widdle bit. You see, you "compete" against 75 other people and the idea is you are supposed to read as many of the other 75 blogs as you can. You give your entry a picture and a title. Many people want to "brand" their entry to make it easy for repeat readers to find them, (which now that I think about it, why wouldn't you just follow those bloggers) anyway... So I played along this week with my picture and my twitter handle as the title. I guess I'm not one of the pretty people. Previous entries have received more than 100 hits coming from "the grid" whereas this week I got 36. So I must be so very gruesome looking that people shuddered to think they might have to click on my picture and see it potentially larger. (next week my entry is going to be a giant image of my face, but I'm going to use a picture of bunnies in the grid)

I will admit to not reading a lot of poetry and writing even less. I will click every link, likely not commenting on the poetry posts, but I do click them. I do so from the grid.

But I am abominable, or is it indomitable? Either way, I'm not letting it get to me. 52 followers and 20 or so Facebook fellowshippers and the dozen or so email subscribers have told me I am funny.

 

I've been practicing my drawing using Draw Something on my iPad. I got sucked in to that game by Aimee over at FFW and we have a game that is like 74 moves long. I think it is a tribute to our guessing skills (Scrabble skills) than my drawing skills, though I am sure she thinks as highly of her drawings as I do mine.

Here are some examples of my fantastic skills:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So, what did I draw here?
