Forever Alone

Something you may not know about me, I dated Medusa once.

It turns out, that whole turning people to stone thing? It's a myth. Who knew? It was a vicious rumor spread by mean Greeks who thought she was ugly. Once you get to know her, she's a really nice girl who just wants to be loved like everyone else. That and she's immortal.

It didn't work out between us though. She's got snakes for hair, ya know? I might have been able to get past just that except I had this nagging fear I couldn't shake... You know how it is when you meet someone who's super-cool in every way, almost like it's too good to be true... and then there's just that one thing and you don't even know why it's such a big deal, but it is and it turns out to be the deal breaker? Mine was that I worried the carpet might match the drapes!

And then I had to have that awkward break-up conversation with her. You know the one where you say "it's not you, it's me." She must have heard that so many times. Poor girl.

On a more serious note, I really didn't expect to be pushing myself so far on this one... this ended up being a huge experiment, well beyond my usual comfort zone. I'm pretty happy with the outcome. I know there are still some things that I'd like to feel better about, like the fade I used instead of blurring parts of the background, or the fact that there's only one stool at the bar. I do think the beer tap and the bottles turned out pretty nice tho -- those I'm particularly proud of. The wide eyes in the right two frames are kind of a mixed bag for me -- I kinda like 'em and I kinda feel like they could be better (or at least aren't quite what I originally envisioned).
