semi-precious sentiments

no chance of me becoming jaded

somewhat recent history, in reverse alphabetical order







































recently:


listening to radiohead, lily allen, and no doubt (always)
sketching metal forms, square faces, and tattoo ideas
taking vitamins, my time, and things too seriously
dressing up, androgynously, and for height
cutting photos out of books, my hair, and protein from my diet (unintentionally)

happiness is finding a pencil

(forgotten source for photo)

two kinds of ice cream, telling the time....

Yes, Charlie Brown, happiness is all of those things. It is also these:
pulling things off
being prepared
knowing my own patterns
sunshine after lots of grey
alternative spellings
masculine hats
silliness
card games
dry feet in piles of snow
family
homes
quilts
scarves
reading a sentence over and over, not because I'm falling asleep reading an assignment, but because that sentence strikes me
importance
irrelevance
the rare occasions when yellow is flattering
being taller
pulling a fantastic espresso shot
drawing on my arms
Sparkles
being an aesthetic person
cleanliness
sloppiness
managing to live in adverse conditions
support among a group of people
people
being entertained by the littlest things
a rattling solar plexus
knowing
brown paper
skinny inky black pens
productivity
getting it done
clothes out of the dryer
folding together
the good pillow
a white tee-shirt
the right lyrics
shared chocolate
caring
warmth
feeling physically strong
the insides of artists' studios
notebooks
chalk
the things we did in Fun Club
positive nostalgia
power
comfort
thrills
collecting images
drawing the right conclusions
positive feedback
positivity

positivity
things that make me feel okay
fleecy blankets
something warm in a mug in the morning
solid people
moisturized skin
the future in my mind
a change for us all
making connections
making things good
positivity positivity positivity
social cats
when pictures come out well
a bag full of paper and pencils over my shoulder
getting out
an organized desk
space
space
positivity
sandpaper
tangles of bangles
writing the right things down at the right times
re-reading old journals
sleeping next to the heater
stumbling upon the most incredible and inspiring of things
WHAT THE WORLD HAS TO OFFER
