so what’d you do today?

i got up at 730am… which is early for me considering i went to bed about 3am… just up and at’em…

i went from, organizing my songs to the cds in my car, to drawing over the cds with a sharpie, to putting a stencil on my cd case, and then to putting the stencil on a dress i bought over the winter but have never worn it…… it was a weird scenario of steps, but while this, i was also online, making lunch, talking to people, and sketching. weee!

so these are my art projects:

falling in love, and other random adventures.

[ ON FALLING IN LOVE. ]

they say when you fall in love, you initially lived life well and happily, but when when you meet someone special, you cant imagine life without them. i never had that feeling before until this past year. totally fell in love, like… inside an inflatable-jumping-house-filled-with-pink-hearts, love. and its teaching.

i can barely say im a teacher — i work part time and i dont change any aspect of myself to look professional with my students. i tell them, im n...Read more

[ scattered like stars. ]

(because i am a closet writer.)

after briefly falling and getting up, and having the strength to save face, i put out my hand. he accepts my friendship and recognizes my maturity. i share with him my pain, and the things i have learned on my journey into the person i have become. the guilt forces him to admit that he led me on, even though he was aware it would go nowhere, he took me there and dropped me. it should’ve felt good to realize that i was not a victim of my own fabrication, that there was something there, but it w...Read more
