Crayon

send me a word and ill tell you a fact about myself related to that word!

i think this happens to like... every aspiring artist, but, like. okay. scenario:

i am an artist. i have lots of art supplies, and as ive gotten older ive accrued some very QUALITY art supplies that are fragile, expensive, or some other form of requiring some sort of special attention.

the rest of my family are not artists, for the most part. not the sort that i am. many of them have children! and all of them know i have many, many art supplies, and the kids do too, and kids just friggin LOVE doing arts and crafts with me.

so.

you ever have to go out and get a bunch of fallback art supplies for a bunch of kids to use, just because your family will get absolutely DISGUSTINGLY offended when you dont particularly want small children using, wasting, breaking, and god knows what else to all the art supplies that you had to save up your money for MONTHS just to get? (': because i think about that a lot. i have a pencil box of crayons, crayola pencils, and washable markers just for this. to this day. i am 25 years old and still have this issue.

also my favorite crayola crayon when i was real little was always scarlet. i loved the HECK out of scarlet.
