I sit here at lunch right after psychology where we were learning about anxiety disorders. Psych is one of my favorite classes this semester. I love learning about the way people think and why. The only problem is it doesn't really help me figure out why I some of the thoughts that run through my head do run through my head. In psych my professor called them intrusive thoughts. Thoughts we don't want to think about but they pop into our heads and we usually dismiss them. For example, many people have violent intrusive thoughts, thoughts about doing something extremely violent and out of character but they are usually marked absurd and dismissed from our thoughts as quickly and sudden as they appeared. That doesn't always happen for me. The dismissing part about certain intrusive thoughts. Those of you reading are probably thinking I'm some sort of homicidal maniac that thinks about violence all day long, but I'm not talking about violent intrusive thoughts. I'm talking about thoughts of betrayal. Some times I start thinking those I hold dearest are going to betray me in the most hurtful ways. But I have no grounds to hold on to these thoughts. These people have never betrayed me before or if they have it wasn't intentional to hurt me. So, why can't I dismiss these thoughts and go about my day normally.

I meant to bring my bigger sketchbook to scan some images of quick face sketches of my family I did over the weekend but I guess this will have to do for now. 

I plan to paint this or something like it over Christmas break while I'm recovering from having my wisdom teeth removed. Now I'm going to go use a letterpress for the first time, or at least learn to use it. Pretty excited!

Keep it legendary.

Have a great Thanksgiving!
