How I Get Away with Anything

It's true, I can get away with anything,
I can explain away anything about myself that might be somewhat odd.

Such as but not limited to:

• chaotic apartment 
• ELECTRIC eye shadow 
• lack of good math skillz/outright refusal to do math 
• explanation of various things that may be floating in my purse (pencil sharpener, sometimes paint, sketchbook) 
• strange ideas 
• all the books 
• the assortment of oddities around my apartment (for still life, you never know) 
• my obsession with clouds 
• the seemingly un-associated tangents I go off on

All I ever have to say is, "I paint."

It always works.  Every time.
