我是一个爱画画的女孩。每当看到漫画书上那些作者的大作,我都爱不释手,捧起书,细细欣赏着每一位角色,常常入了迷。
有一天,我满怀希望地跟妈妈提出想学漫画的这一想法时,妈妈摇摇头,坚决地说:“不行!漫画有什么好学的?学了有什么用?还不如把时间花在看课外书上!”我失望极了,心想:就是不让我做喜欢的事!
我偷偷向同学借了本漫画教程,开始秘密学画的过程。每当我做完作业时,便悄悄地从抽屉里拿出教程和速写本,边看边画起来。有时听见妈妈的脚步声,慌乱之下,我迅速地收起教程和速写本,“嗖”地一下塞进抽屉,假装认真地看着课外书,一次又一次躲过妈妈的突然袭击。就这样,我和妈妈打起了长久的“游击战”。可是,这个秘密还是被我的这张嘴给泄露了。那天晚饭后,我和妈妈在体育场散步,聊着聊着,我高兴地拉起妈妈的手,说起漫画的人设、分镜还有构图。妈妈听后,大吃一惊,不可思议地问:“你这些都是哪学来的?”我低下头,只好如实招来。妈妈并没有批评我,摸摸我的头说:“原来画漫画还有那么多技巧啊!”
现在,我画漫画成了公开的事情。在看电视的时候,一些广告使我产生灵感,我立马掏出纸和笔,“唰唰”地画起来。没过多久,草图就完成了。我将模糊的线条稍作修改,再给人物加上漂亮的服饰,一张漫画就完成了。当我把作品给同学们看时,他们都发出阵阵惊叹:“哇!好漂亮的女孩!我好喜欢她的裙子啊!”
一次,妈妈带我去做陶艺时,我在花瓶上雕刻了两个可爱的卡通人物,老板啧啧称赞道:“很少人会刻上这么漂亮的图案。”妈妈露出了满意的笑容,得意地说:“这是她自学的。”如今,妈妈终于答应明年暑期给我报漫画班了,我总算打赢了这场“持久战”。
我常对自己说:“做自己喜欢的事,这才是最大的乐趣,也许一开始别人并不支持你,但最终会被你的坚持所感动。”
It wasn't until we moved into our new home in 2006 that I found it again. It was addressed to me with explicit instructions not to open until my birthday 2005. It was now 2006 so I decided to open it. This is what it said:
Dear Sherri
By the time you read this you will be 30. At the age of 18 I had so many hopes and dreams about where you'd be, what you'd be doing and with whom you'd spend your life with.
Right now I hope that you have traveled and seen everything you've always wanted to, both in Canada and overseas, and maybe even settled down somewhere in Australia doing some research in the field of biology (genetics.
I hope you're married to the man of your dreams. The man of mine is Gwynn. He is originally from South Africa (another place I wish to visit.
You'll probably have two children of your own – a girl(Michaela Anne and a boy (name yet to be decided.
If everything goes according to plan you'll be living in Australia in a big house in a small town outside of a big city with a lot of land, a dog, Gwynn and your two beautiful children. Hopefully you have a career in the medical field, maybe doing research in genetics. Gwynn will be a computer programmer and you will be doing alright for yourselves.
However, if things don't go according to plan for you, I wish you all the love, happiness and joy in the world and don't settle for anything less than the best since that is absolutely what you deserve.
Live long, be happy and live life to it's fullest.
Love Sherri "18″
When I read this for the first time since writing it I was floored. Even now having dug this up again another 4 years later I still can't help but think this is really cool.
So much of what I wanted for myself has materialized.
I did travel to a few more places in Canada although I haven't seen everything I'd like to.I did marry the man of my dreams and yes he still is my one and only.I've traveled to the UK, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand. I lived in Australia for nearly 4 years in a big house, in a small suburb, in a major city (close enough. I had a career in Biology in the field of genetics for 10 years.I have two lovely kids – both boys (names now decided.
I have not one dog but two dogs. Both yellow labs from Australia.Gwynn is a computer programmer. We are doing okay for ourselves.
After writing this I quickly forgot about what I had put in here actually. The things that materialized were all met with quite a bit of resistance (all internal but I suppose these were things that I really did want. Having never strayed too far from home overseas travel was a huge deal. Having never been away from my family moving to Australia for several years was an incredibly huge decision.
I find it fascinating how the dreams of a young and naive little girl can become a grown woman's reality.
I'm curious if you guys have ever written anything to your future self and how it stacks up to your current reality. If you haven't, will you join me in writing a letter now to yourself in say 10 years from now? It's an interesting little experiment.
我最喜欢的事,莫非看爷爷电脑里的幻灯片。爷爷有许多老同事、老同学都经常发来幻灯片,爷爷都保存在电脑的“文档”里,并把它分类:人生、政治、科技、风景名胜、教育与艺术、朋友与健康等等,风景名胜中又分国内名胜、异国风情和千奇百怪等,分门别类,井井有条。我最喜欢看的就是千奇百怪。
我有空,就打开“千奇百怪”,我已经看了很多遍了,真是百看不厌。“千奇百怪”中又分“奇石篇”“怪树篇”“异房篇”等。
“奇石”就奇在形态上:有的像乌龟,有的像大象,有的像猴子,有的像女人,有的像老人,惟妙惟肖,活龙活显;
“怪树”就怪在大树的躯干上:虽然大树都非常茂盛,但它们的躯干形态各异,千奇百怪。有的像仙女跳舞,有的像双鸟自由飞翔,有的像婴儿哭啼……
“异房”就异在房子的结构和正统的不一样上:如英国的人体大厦,建筑的外形就是人的脸,有眼睛、鼻子、牙齿;又如美国西雅图的牛仔靴浴室,外形就是一双靴子;还如波南的弯曲房,房子中所有的房门和窗户都是弯曲的,我想里面应该是方正的;还有如荷兰的立方屋,正个建筑都是由很多立方体堆积而成的;更稀奇的如温哥华的除邪恶的装置,正个房子就建在方形桩上而桩是尖端着地的,如果我住在里面,会怕死的。还有如新西兰的羊建筑,外形就是一头羊,等等。
“千奇百怪”是把全世界最奇特的东西汇集在幻灯片里,经常看,使我长知识、开眼界、饱眼福。周游世界也不一定能看到这些奇形怪状的物体呢!
