An Awesome Day

Today was awesome. That would make it an awesome day.

I finished my costume around 10 last night, tried it on, and it looks AWESOME. I should make costumes for a living. but only if I get a sewing machine to sew with.

Got up at 9AM this morning to go to coffee with Mia. We walked around, checked out some thrift stores for dresses we could go take pictures in. Eventually, we ended up going in dresses we already had. We went out to creepy Ft. Bayard and took pictures at all the creepy houses, the cemetery, and then went down to the creek running through downtown. Because our dresses were black and My make up was dramatic we were invited to walk in the dia de los muertos parade, mid-process. it was fun!!

And I just found out that none of the pictures uploaded. :/

Tragic.

But I need to find the energy to put my room back together. It's been total chaos all week from putting together my costume, and I need some order.

Dear Eyes,

I know you don't like the pollen. But we've been here nearly 4 months, and I think it's about time you let me wear my contacts without extreme discomfort or feeling like my eyes are on fire. I can rock a funky cool in my glasses, but I'd like to return to feeling more like a predator, and less like a stalker.

It's difficult to make flirty eye contact behind a windshield. :/

Sincerely, A girl who should really be studying for a plant ffd quiz, but felt that you should know about my feelings. :D

Fall Art Dump 2010

A seahorse for Ines


Look at that yummy paint palette.


My feet! This one is finished!!! :D

And a fun Work-in-progress. Not sure where this one is headed yet. But. I like the pyro colors on blacks. :D

I just got a wicked idea for a support group for wild tiger population conservation.

Bangles for Bengals.

Oooooh.... Ahhhhhh... Woowwww. :D

I googled it, as it turns out theres not any thing that pops up with that name. Unfortunately, I have no idea how to make bangle bracelets, but I will definitely have to look it up. :)

Anywhooooo.

Lazy Sunday Art Dump!

A Lazy Sunday Afternoon

Having survived the insanity that has been the past 3 weeks -- It's amazing how fast that's flown by, btw-- I suddenly have nothing expected of me to do today. So what am I gonna do?

I have a few ideas:

Paint

Write another song

Take a nap. :D

Dance

Read a magazine or my book. Or both

Well. I'm gonna get started on enjoying my lazy sunday. 1 month until thanksgiving break! Yehoo!

He Wants to Be Mine

I was talking with my good buddy, Tiago, who writes songs and plays guitar. He's also from Brazil and is totally yummy to the eyes. :) You can check him out here. Anyways I told him I am getting a guitar, hopefully before Christmas. I stroked his ego a little bit saying how awesome he was at getting the words to form a song. And he told me to just keep writing. He thinks it's fun. :)

I thought that was pretty cool.

So I finished up my 1812 word, 6 page paper, and crawled into bed. But I was thinking, hmmm potential song lyrics. After spending the past 8 hours writing. I started to write again. And here's what we get.

He Wants to Be Mine:

The intent is there
I've just gotta find him.
Nothing too serioius,
Not looking for diamonds
Right now, I'm just looking for someone taller than 5 foot 9...
who wants to be mine.

Fall is here,
The days are getting colder
This girl just wants a pair of strong arms to hold her.
Funny and sweet,
Maybe with bluey-green eyes
who wants to be mine

He could look good shirtless, mowin' grass
Momma says it's better if he's got a nice ass.
He doesn't have to be drop-dead gorgeous,
Just gorgeous is fine.
if he wants to be mine.

I wanna hold him tight, never let go.
We'll run buck-wild where wildflowers grow
Holdin' hands is the biggest high,
When we're laying out under that october sky
My favorite part is stealin kisses,
heart flutters so wild, it's pure bliss, yeah.
All of my crazies, he won't mind

cause he wants to be mine.

:)

Cue applause here.

Thank you, thank you. No seriously, I deserve a metal for writing all that down after spending 7 and a half hours arranging 1812 words across 6 pages for an ethics paper with no direction. :) Then getting up to go run this morning. And now, I'm going to read the play I have to write a paper over tonight. Only two pages, cake compared to that last beast. :)

Ciao!

Procrastination by Visualization

I should be finishing up an ethics essay I've been working on for 6 and half hours now. Nearly to the end. Just... taking my dear sweet time. But I'm gonna get it done within the next hour, because I have practice in the morning.

VISUALIZATIONS.
I write papers easily and quickly.
Painting time.
Meditating/yoga time.
Spastic-crazy dance time.
A cabin in the woods. About 15 of them, actually.
And I have a pet donkey.

Ohh. And a drop-your-pants hot guy to snuggle with all winter.

Dear Random Guy in the MASA Room,

I saw you checking me out. Thanks for stroking my ego, even though I look red as a strawberry. :)

Sincerely,
That crazy loud girl with the Texas accent
