Think I might try pastels.

Because painting sucks. Not really, but it's hard to fix something you paint (and all I have is acryllic paint at the moment, NOT good for a beginner because it's dry in less than five minutes and totally waterproof), and paint's difficult to work with. I have a better time mixing colors on paper. I have some canvases at the house, so if, by some freak occurence, Mom's decided to stay home and nap before going to the house, I'll leave the city with her and stop by Michael's or Pearl, see if I can find anything that's not too expensive. Dick Blick has some sets at good prices (including a student-grade set of half-sticks, and because they're half-sticks, they're cheaper), but I've never been to their store and generally don't go out of my way to find things... ^^; If I was home today, I'd probably have gone out since I want to see the store anyway.
But I'm not home, I'm here, because I'm stupid. And Mom is not home sleeping, she's in the car and at least halfway to PA by now, because luck does not like me much, so a trip to Michael's will have to wait until tomorrow.
I'm wondering if I need to get away from pencil and paper and do something different, and if I don't get SOMETHING down on SOME surface I'm going to explode, so I'll try this.
My mind isn't here right now. I'm anxious and I wanna get out of here. Maybe I'll cut out early.
