Starting Now.

Ingrid, I love you.

Life's been insane in a beautiful way. I think I'm a temporary hedonist, I've been choosing time with friends over schoolwork (and over pretty much everything else...), but I'm really okay with it. You would be, too, if you'd seen how fantastic these people I surround myself with can be! It's like their fabulosity is coming out of the woodworks, as if I weren't already in awe of their fantastic nature.

I think the thing about having a dark period in your life is that it makes the light so bright, so beautiful. I'm so pleasantly peaceful. I appreciate everything and everyone around me. & It doesn't hurt that there are birthdays left and right

A Sidenote: Sometime in my life, I want to be the Irene Adler to someone's Sherlock Holmes.

Also, in the past month I got the opportunity to go to Mississippi for the SA convention:

& to the Big Apple with the BFF

DAMN we're sexy on a foreverlong sketchbus ride to Chinatown.

& to the Generation Equality Concert at University Richmond... which I have no graphic for. But suffice it to say that it was an eye-opening experience.

I also go to go see the Lady Dukes play in their first NCAA game EVERR.

HEARTBREAK.

Buttttttt the pain of that experience was combatted with a FABULOUS Ingrid Michaelson concert.. ANDDD we got to meet her.

I plotzed.

This week has been wonderfully busy & I expect life to continue this way for quite a while. But then again, life is always about the unexpected, eh?

Trust is like a mirror

you can fix it once it's broken, but you can still see the crack in that mother fucker's reflection.

Telephone Video.

Watch it. Love it.

Oscars Night

Who are you wearing?

Well actually I'm wearing sweatpants from the JMU bookstore accessorized with a fabulous bowl of Bruster's Chocolate Raspberry Truffle.

AHH Spring break. It's beautiful.

It's spring! & in our house, that means smoothies.

Mangos, blueberries, watermelon cantelope, pineapples & bananas, to be exact!

Thus, filled with all of the fruit-induced energy, my brother & cousin headed into the woods to find a log to carve into a tiki man. But not just any log, Oh no. This log was about a half mile into the woods and probably thirty feet long. Apparently This adventure turned into 4 hours of the two boys, Clara the golden retriever/explorer & a canoe. They returned about 3 hours later with a frog lawn ornament.

Aunt Lori & I then decided that we'd just buy them a 1/2 price tiki man from Pier One. Shockingly, there does not seem to be much a market for them.


Have I mentioned that I love my family?

It's sunshine and smoothies, baby.

I'm finally feeling like myself again, thank baby jesus. I hope this stays. I like me, & not the toned-down, saddened version of me that has existed (with or without permission) for these past few months.

Ohh tomorrow.. I just can't wait for a lifetime of tomorrows.
