I have a cat named Liz and he is my friend. I like to draw. I like pizza. I wear earrings. I like gold. I am an artist. I am not making enough off my art to support myself.
I am somewhat artistic. I am a writer for a newspaper. I have attended college. My dad was a butcher. I do not wear earrings. I enjoy simple styles. I like simplicity. I like dogs more than cats.  I have a dog named Sleuth. My dog is 15. I have had him for 5 years.
How is Sleuth doing? I know you said he was getting on in years. Surprisingly well. I keep thinking he is going to slow down, but he still loves to run and play. Hopefully he sticks around a few more years. How is your cat? He is doing great! I had a fun experience with him the other day when a friend came by. It is the reason I gave him his name! That's good to hear :) What is the story behind his name? Did I ever tell you his real, full name? Because if not, the story will surely make you laugh XD Is Liz his full name? If not, then you haven't told me his full name. I'd love to hear it and the story.  Well, I always wanted to get a dog named 5 miles so I could tell people that I walk 5 miles daily. But when I got the kitten, I decided that he should have a great unique name. So I named him Lizard. Liz is for short, and when people come over and I call his name out, LIZARD, and he comes running, they are like what? I enjoy messing with people. Haha! That is very creative. I would like seeing the face of your friends when you do that. have you ever used Liz to model any of your art?  I don't think anyone would want a painting of a fat lazy cat sitting in the sun lol. How is it going at the newspaper? Anything exciting to cover lately? You never know :) The newspaper is always busy and there is always a new deadline. Sometimes it is hard to keep finding story ideas. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy it, but even when I do find something I'm interested in I never have enough time to go as deeply as I'd want to on it before we have to move on to the next thing. Have you found any work to supplement your art? I mean. It is really too embarrassing to talk about it. I am not really happy about what I am doing for money now. What beat do you have for the paper?  I always thought it would be interesting to get to like go take photos of fires and crashes and stuff. I mainly do human interest stories. So like if you cat learned to paint or something that would be a great story for me. Covering breaking news is exciting, but you have to be on call at all hours of the day, so you don't really ever get away. Would you ever want to be profiled as a local artist? Might be good for your business and would get me a story to write.
