These Spiders Spin Warm [14 Jan 2009|01:27pm]   I know it's been a while. This is part of a painting I'm working on right now. Lots of things have happened, but I'm really looking forward to getting out of high school at this point. I really want to be in New Brunswick. post comment

[24 Aug 2008|04:15pm] I have a job. Did you know? I'm a host at a restaurant. I am friendly and I seat people and clean up tables if it's really busy. Which it was last night. I make $8.95 an hour plus tips. I really like my job. I wish I could work more often. post comment

[16 Aug 2008|11:14am] I watched this movie last night, called Down In the Valley, with Evan Rachel Wood. It might've been because I was so tired out from working last night but it really messed with my head. I guess Harlan, as a character, felt completely new and weird. Or he was just badly written, and there were holes in the plot. I can't make up my mind. I didn't really like the movie. It was interesting, though. I like how someone described it in a review as "A cautionary tale about the dangers of casual sex, or even casual friendships with strangers." (It is not that) I guess I didn't dislike the movie, I just don't like watching people get shot. post comment

[15 Jun 2008|07:17pm] Looking at vintage sewing patterns, eating chocolate cake and listening to Jakob Dylan. I don't know if there's anything that could make me happier. 1 comment|post comment

[09 Jun 2008|07:08pm] [ music | the deadly syndrome ]   Everything is sunnyside up. Or, at least, it will be in a couple of days. These are going in my photography portfolio, do they go together at all? I can't decide, but I like the IDEA of them together.   post comment

Lists are growing on me [04 Jun 2008|01:55pm] Nerdy things about me: I drink a lot of tea. I do cross stitch. I watch british dramas on the BBC. I love Shakespeare. I knit. I love Star Wars. I'm really good at math. I read a lot. I want to have kids. Is that nerdy? Probably not. I really truly thought this would be an impressive list. But I can't think of anything else about me that is nerdy, though there are probably a million things. I came home during second period so I could work on my law summative. I've been home for two hours and have done nothing. I can't decide which picture I like best of the three. I wish I'd taken some more. 1 comment|post comment

[03 Jun 2008|06:50pm] I am in the midst of downloading 100 Edith Piaf songs, which could turn out to be a mistake. Not because of Edith Piaf but because there are 100 of them. Today I went and (a month after the deadline) dropped Physics, Advanced Functions and Calculus & Vectors for next year. No one is home, so I thought I'd type this up. 50 things I'm going to do this summer. 1. Finish decorating my bedroom 2. Finish my cross-stitch (don't laugh) 3. Read only classics 4. Spend at least one whole day gardening 5. Do at least one painting commission 6. Paint a little bit every few days 7. Have a dinner party (make the dinner) 8. Go camping 9. Learn to drive 10. Go running two or three times a week 11. Practice flute at least every third day 12. Cut someone's hair (nicely) 13. Get only one sunburn 14. Make ice cream 15. Go to at least one party 16. Buy lemonade from some kid's lemonade stand 17. Make a sundress 18. Have a good cry 19. Spend a little time every day enjoying the sun 20. Get up early 21. Watch no more than one hour of t.v. every day (less if i can help it)(not counting movies) 22. Draw a little every day This list is lacking in that it is a list of 50 things that only has 22 things on it. I will add more. Promise. But uuh I need some suggestions. Because I am running out of ideas. 1 comment|post comment

[01 Apr 2008|09:51pm] Nothing seems worth mentioning at the moment. Should I go to chef school? Maybe that's what I want to do. I have this basically all-encompassing fear that I am not going to be able to survive on my own. It's moving past the anxiety of having to make a decision about what I want to study, towards this fear of leaving University/College/what have you and not having any money at all. I don't think I'll ever be living on the street or anything, but I just need money so that I can have my own life. So I can be alone, where I'm happiest. Or not happiest, really, but the place where i'm most comfortable. Which is in my own head, I guess. That sounds melodramatic, I apologise.   3 comments|post comment
