summer has not been what i thought it would be. i have barely spent one day on the beach, and haven't even seen my new pool. instead, i've been devouring books and drawing/writing in a tiny sketchbook, and figuring out how to properly use PENCILS. it may sound simple, but its not so simple really.

this past weekend was really, really great. i hadn't seen my dad in a while, and he really loved his birthday gift...which was a vintage postcard of frank zappa on the shitter that i found in a headshop a little while back and put in a pretty frame. i was so happy to give it to him, because i knew he would love it, and its usually so hard to find something he'll REALLY like.

he made us yummy food, and me and lindsey argued like usual, and we bought floral dresses and short-shorts and i got something mint green and tulle(!). we did a lot of nothing, reading books, watching movies, eating strawberries, drinking guava soda, roaming the flea market and seaside shops. my sister found a little vintage chanel bag the color of a creamy pastry puff, but since she won't use leather goods, i got to keep it.

finally it feels like summer. now, hopefully i make it to the beach this week.

summer is good and bright

lots of art & $$ making this summer. i'm going to try and update here at least monthly, about art and literature, the inspirational bits i come across.

right now, i am laying in bed with my boycat & boyfriend, they're both asleeeeeep, and the cat is hugging my leg. i'm warm and safe, and should really find sleep soon. hopefully its dreeaamy sleep, because i need it. mmm dreams.

mi vida

my kittens laying next to me, chomping on a little plush panda and twirling her body left and right, all fiesty and shit; the sun is streaming in through my red pashima/makeshift curtain and there are paint stains on my pillows and sheets from painting juan and painting paper. there are tubes of paint and brushes and markers hidden in the small places, and a cup of colored paint water still on my nightstand, next to various scented candles and one big pink glittery bunny candle and the flowers and feathers i wear in my hair. this is the life i choose<3

the rescue

so after volunteering all day at invisible children's The Rescue event and having a 15 hour work-day, much of which was spent in the sun, and getting a wicked sun burn on my arms, neck, and face--and then sleeping in my sleeping bag outside during the windiest night ever and like 5 "it's going to rain" sprinkling freak-outs ...today I did nothing! I got home at like 7:30 or 8am, took a long (not-so-hot) shower, slept until 2, laid in bed until like 3:30, watched A Roman Holiday again and all i've had to eat all day is pizza. I feel accomplished and achy, and I'm pretty glad I got involved because I'll be spending a week in DC this June :D
