I'm Brilliant

So, I spent part of my day today outside in my garage painting the background color for a 2'x 2' L I'm making for a teacher.  Yes, you read that right.  What?  She's a kindergarten teacher.  Don't judge me!  As I was saying, I was out there painting away and on my third coat of a pretty blue when I actually looked at my L, which at the time wasn't an L at all, but a backwards L or maybe half of a square.  I'd been painting the back.  Only took me three coats of paint to realize it!  Awesome.  Sometimes my gift of observation amazes even me.  Fuck. Guess I better turn it over, huh?

    1. Besides a letter? I don't know. :P It is the letter L, Ivie. It's a big 3d cardboard one. I'm painting it and I'll probably put flowers, ladybugs and class pictures on it, or whatever else I decide on. Don't ask, it's a weird tradition at the school. Her last name begins with an L and her classroom is the Ladybugs.

  2. Were there any fumes in that paint you might have inhaled? lol.

    The L is so misunderstood these days. Long Live the L! ;-)

    1. No, no fumes, I just started painting without really looking at what I was doing. I do that sometimes! I'm a bit of a flake!

  3. Lol, well, just because other's can't see your brilliance doesn't mean you aren't a genius. Think outside the box ;D Or in this case, outside the painting! *giggles*

    1. *snorts* I'm not an artist, Ivie. Artists get paid for the work and paint better than I do! I just enjoy art. A lot. :)

  5. You could always go with telling her that's the way it's supposed to be and it's just a super modern artistic viewpoint :D

  6. Ok I'm confused ! If it's 3D then would it matter if it was backwards anyway??

    1. But it's 3d you have to paint it all the way around!

    2. Well, it will be painted all the way around now! :D The back will be to the wall though, so kind of unnecessary.

  8. So Shell was inspired by an L,
    And all her friends just said, Oh Well.
    She tried to explain,
    But more questions were here bane,
    So she just said, Oh hell, it's my L!
