Whelp, I guess it starts here

My name is Brittany Strong. Yes, that is a picture of me at the top of the screen. Some friends call me Choo Choo which I tend to adopt online. I mean, really, who likes to go by their real name online? Especially when it's Brittany. I am currently 24 years of age and under going what I would like to reffer to as a "quarter life crisis." I've recently discovered through the magic of MS Paint that one of my true callings in life is to make things that serve no greater purpose than creating maybe 5 seconds of entertainment (and a smile... but I wont get my hopes up). I am not a great writer, I have not gone to school, I work in an office with no windows but I can be damn likable. For all of the friends around the world that know me.. go easy on me. .. what was I talking about? I guess I was just trying to justify why I've created a blog to talk about myself on. ... well... here it goes...

I am going to start with simply talking about some thing I have made... but I am sure there will be a lot more added once I figure out what I really want this blog to be all about.
From the top here is what I've made and the stories behind it..

BEHOLD! My first creation...


Ok.. so the only reason I'm posting this piece of shit is to share the picture that helped me realize my passion for placing human faces on animals and vice versa. I don't know why I enjoyed making this so much. That happy looking creature is my ex boyfriend.. he shared a love of sloths. I felt like getting some attention from him and slapped this together. It's horrible, I know, but I thought it was funny. Also, all those I Can Has Cheeseburger nerds... I know I didn't create the quote, I simply stole the picture.

Now that I discovered the awesome power of MS paint and its magical cutting and pasting abilities I created these masterpieces:






Now, keep in mind I was just getting familiar with the whole cutting out and pasting of images... this is so not as easy as it looks in Paint.. there are no layers... you can't really change the angles ... when you resizes it it starts to look funny... they only way to correct an ill positioning is by hitting undo.. it was a mess. The first is my Swede Mattias (of Life on Earth and Dungen) .. I love ferrets... and I really like him.. so it seemed like a good fit.. I also found that picture of him online while being a creep (I gave him that shirt FYI) and snooping around online. The second picture are three most excellent ladies, Megan Barnett, Alex Moyer, and Claire... sorry Claire, I don't know your last name, I guess you just got lucky... They were origionally going to go on a cat body but since I didnt know how to size or create better angles or anything I gave up and just made them stick figures out of frustration. The 3rd is me.. I got jealous of Mattias's ferret picture and decided I wanted one.

I guess this is enough for post ONE ... I honestly don't know where this is going to go.. I am hoping this blog develops into something that enables me to.. I don't know... work through my quarter life crisis? ha

PS- the pictures get much better.. remember, this is just a start.

PSS- is there no spell check on this damn thing? This is going to be imbarrassing.
