drawing
okay i've had my mac for over a year and i still dont know how to do anything on it. and i was going to post on apples website, but i can't even figure out how to post on there! am i an idiot? anyway....
i want to design my own cover for an agenda im going to print off. and if i had a pc, id do it in paint, but there isn't anything like paint on my macbook. does anyone have a suggestion of something easy to use or easy to learn (i download adobe freehand but i CANNOT figure out how to do everything i want to do). what i really want to do is make a monogram of my initials shaped like a circle (http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6zP0Xcd66S...SY/s400/-1.jpg) like that picture but i cant seem to find any program that will shape things like a circle. so i made one on freehand but i cant figure out how to curve lines or erase things. and im sware im not stupid, this stuff is just REALLY hard. So any help on what (free) software i can get would be much appreciated!

Marybeth, you most certainly are not an idiot. You bought a Mac!
