Hey stranger. I've had this blog for quite a while, and I toy with it on occasion. Now, its this odd thing that contains the old me and the new me all at once... You're probably here because you're bored, and I don't presume to be the most interesting person in the world. This is just the place where I dump my thoughts and my emotions and other such tidbits. If you want words, I have plenty. Perhaps too many. Musings and prose and poetry and babbling. Flowery words, curse words. All kinds of words. Enjoy.
all the things i want to do this summer

  1. Paint… paint, paint, PAINT. 
  2. Read as many books as possible, and the widest variety that I can. 
  3. Ride my bike in that time of the evening when it gets cool and the sky is like a wash of watercolors.
  4. Save my money.
  5. Go on a road trip with someone special. 
  6. Volunteer at the animal shelter and/or one of the low income free nurseries. 
  7. Work out more in order to get a flatter stomach and an even better arse ;D
  8. Decorate the world with colored chalk. 
  9. Take pictures of anything and everything… Master my manual film camera. 
  10. Write in my journal faithfully, the way that I used to.   
  11. Get up early enough to hear the birds, and go walking or running.
  12. Go out and draw the things that I see in a sketchbook. 
  13. Get good at drawing people. Faces, bodies, the whole shebang. 
  14. Swim more. 
  15. Pierce tragus and/or nose. 
  16. Wear lots of sunscreen, and avoid going tanning. Pale is beautiful AND healthier. 
  17. Write haiku [plural]. Try to compose a sonnet. Do poetry in general. Just diversify it. 
  18. Cook dinner to help out mom. Bake healthy sweets that Dad is allowed to eat. 
  19. Sing out loud without regard to who is listening. 
  20. Spend late nights with the people I love, people watching on the walking mall. 
  21. Finish the quilt I started last year. Make use of my sewing machine. 
  22. Dye hair.
  23. Perfect rolling skills. 
  24. Explore the back roads. Get lost somewhere. 
  25. Sleep with the windows open so that I can hear the sounds of summer nights… The trains in the distance… 
  26. Write a short story. 
  27. Make other people smile as much as possible. 
  28. Learn new things of my own accord. 
  29. Grow herbs. 
  30. Stop biting my nails. Again. 
  31. Get up and go to the flea market with dad. Look for useful little treasures. Get him to teach me how to haggle. 
  32. Get rid of all the clothes that don’t fit, and that I don’t like anymore. 
  33. Clean out my room in general. Organize it. 
  34. Kiss somebody under that big, bright, beautiful Virginia moon.
  35. Stop being angry. Let shit go. 
  36. Get to the place where I used to be… When I couldn’t keep in my smile… When I was genuinely happy and vibrant. 

  37. Breathe… Slow, deep. 
  38. Feel better.
