creative goals of the week.
i’ve decided i must do this in order to establish a balance in my life. it’s currently being over-powered by academia and work, i need to make use to utilize the most important corner of my soul! it’s unfortunate that it has to be this way at the moment, but a necessity nonetheless.
for the week of nov. 16:
- distribute at least 20 postcard about town in the style of the one i found at jitterbean this summer
- start xmas list, begin artistic creations
- plan thanksgiving contribution
- take photos
- make calender for sam & i
- find antique something to make necklace out of
(is it bad i keep adding on? i suppose i can rollover a few projects)
what a steal.
found one of my favorite books new & hardcover yesterday for $8. look forward to reading it again and having it influence the way i think.
thoughts on birth control.
pros:
cleared up acne!
no babies!
no condoms!
no terrible side-effects!
cons:
weird substance in my body, unnatural
hard to remember to take
unsure:
my boobs were already imbalanced to start with, now the larger one is larger. i wouldn’t mind if they both grew, but this is odd. plus, i dig my small chest.
ideas:
when i go back for xmas, switch back to yaz. didn’t seem to have above problem while on it
besides that, hooray for birth control!
mixing coffee with cocoa mix.
(kind of cheating since i wrote this yesterday)
i love this life i’m granted with & grateful for every part of it! i’m turning into such a hippie: drinking water out of a big old co-op mason jar and stuffing my face with date-grain bars.
i think i’m going to marry that boy. this morning i felt closer to him than ever, it seems to increase by the day. i am more comfortable with no body else. i can see myself being braver than i could be on my own by his side, in his arms. i can see him building that house he has imagined for us & baking warm breads & hiking endlessly with no time frame – just us. we are so lucky to ave such a strong mutual feeling for each other. i want to build him a hammock, i think this is it.
i would love to live with raquel, molly & eileen next year! i cross my fingers that raquel stays!
today i start a blog
i realize & accept that it may be both inconsistent & over-consistent, depending on the day, moment, or amount of caffeine & inspiration in my bloodstream. all i need is a reliable output of my thoughts that is easily accessible and manipulated. here goes, best of luck
bio
i’m alex. i wear a lot of teal. i would love to live in a treehouse someday and travel around the country, if not world. i’m both and observer and a participant in life. the universe and the depths of the sea ground me. i dig music, and could see myself as a music magazine photojournalist/journalist someday, if i don’t make it to outer space first. let’s go on an adventure.
