It's the first of September, and as such, it's the first day of my drawing challenge.

I decided I'd draw Ari, since technically, Ari is just a cat with my personality.

There's a whole lot I could say about myself, and about Ari.

I'm shy and withdrawn around strangers, generally keeping to myself, and even when it's offered, I have a hard time asking for help. I can even come across as a little cold, and I give a lot of dirty looks without meaning to. I'm extremely judgmental towards people I don't know, again, without meaning to be.
I can get depressed extremely easily, and I feel like I know what people think of me, even if I don't. I have abandonment issues, and have an overwhelming need to be... wanted a lot of the time, and I need to KNOW that someone wants me, or I'll get upset.
On a more positive note, once I have established some sort of connection with someone, I'm generally pretty friendly and talkative, and though it takes some time, it isn't hard to get on my good side. It's easy to make me smile and laugh, and my sense of humor can be anywhere from stupid to somewhat dark.
Overall, I'm generally happy and easily amused, but I need my friends around me a lot of the time. I don't like starting conversations, because I don't know HOW to start them, but once I'm in them, it's hard to get me to STOP talking.
