Books, Inkblots, and College.
When I was a kid I always imagined the day I'd get to say I'd read every book in the library. That day never came, of course. It's not a realistic goal. I lived near a girl who read every book in the school library in middle school, but she was a self proclaimed insomniac, and didn't really do anything else except read. Literally. She only ( Read more... ) -
I felt aqua today.
That's what my mood ring tells me. Usually when I wear it it's some variant of purple. This morning it was going crazy with colors. Chartruse with plum edges, and then brown edges, then more of a burgundy with some aqua in the middle. Even hints of burnt sienna, olive and taupe. It lasted for most of the day, and now I'm back to purple. I ( Read more... ) -
just a thought
I should stop wearing my heart on my sleeve. It's way too easy for it to get snagged on things. I drew a picture of myself with my heart ripped out and clumsily sewn to my sleeve. It's very stylized, so there's no aorta or anything. I was trying to draw bystanders, shocked at the carnage, but I wasn't doing a very good job with the shocked ( Read more... ) -
I just found a mood ring!
I lost this ring a while ago, because it slips off my finger when I gesticulate. I forgot the exact moods listed for the colors. I have it written down somewhere. Until then I'll just go with what I remember. I think blue is happy, or satisfied, which is funny, because sometimes in speech blue means sad. Yellow is scared or nervous. I think ( Read more... ) -
being a consumer
Yesterday my mom suggested that we go to the Salvation Army together, because we both probably need new clothing. She obviously hasn't seen my room. My mom may need more clothing, but I already have more than I know what to do with. At school I was known for wearing a different outfit every day of the year. I have enough clothing to do that.

revelations (totally not a biblical reference)
I used to tell people my dreams all the time, but then I started looking in dream dictionaries. (not the kind that pretend to be telling your future, but the kind that give clues as to what thoughts found expression in your dreams.) And I started listening to the kinds of things I was telling people about my subconscious mind. Suddenly I felt ( Read more... ) -
fuck.
world war three just broke out and I've gone and alienated the one person who was kind enough to tell me about it. I'm not doing very well, am I? I thought my fantasy worlds were there to protect me. But all the happy unicorns and rainbows turned out to be a pile of shit that I've been rubbing in my eyes to try and block out the truth. I guess ( Read more... ) -
fun morning
I woke up at 4:30 this morning and read until it was time to actually get up. My dad and I went for a bike ride around 7:00, but in order to get our bikes from the shed, we had to knock down a spider web that was blocking our way. That was when hilarity ensued. My dad (already in his helmet and reflective vest) went out with a broom to knock the ( Read more... ) -

my life right now
I don't look anything like my userpic anymore. My hair hasn't been that long since I was about 15. The skirt has since been worn to shreds. The shirts have been lost or given away. The bag (made out of a hand towel and cloth from my favorite childhood pillowcase) has since been packed away with other retired purses from my teens (the two duct ( Read more... )
