Almost there

Adele

I love this new artist

Her voice ( intense, raw, magical) + this song = heart bleed. I just heard this song tonight and since then have listened to it probably 18 times now.

Rolling in the Blue

This man is clam digging…or he WILL be…this is due in 2 weeks so there is much much to be done!

dragon teapot

Hey

I’m at Barnes and Nobles looking up dragons and the history of tea. I want to make a teapot that looks like a dragon. Woo!
Soon I will have to leave my comfy chair and go home to work on my school work. Today I really have not done much. I’ve been really sick for the past 8 days. Fever, aches, congestion, now just a bad cough and feeling dizzy probably from too much cough medicine. I hate being sick.

Besides being sick, I’ve been …… “eh”
Trying to focus solely on school work and getting life “in order”
It doesn’t seem to EVER be “in order”. Plans, finances, dreams, goals…they are all a mess. Just for the sake of being optimistic I will say its a “beautiful” mess.

JMU is still being difficult. Just got back from a trip to the Shore to collect legal documents proving my parents are divorced because the financial aid office doesn’t believe me and STILL won’t give me aid. REALLY? I love being at JMU but I won’t be sad when I say goodbye for good in May. Sick of bureaucratic schools. Where next? That is what keeps life fun. I love not knowing what is next. Which is why I love being young and free. I don’t want an answer to “where to next”? I just want the scenes to keep changing.

So whenever I update my blog while in school it just becomes a place for me to talk about my projects.
I will let you in on what the projects are at the moment.

1) A still life oil painting. (it’s not too exciting, but I will still show you when its done. A painting is a painting so it deserves recognition, love and time were still invested)

2) A non functional Teapot in the form of a Dragon. Because tea makes me think of Asia and Asia makes me think of Dragons. And I love dragons. Remind me to tell you why dragons are real. (They definitely are/were…I am convinced)

Pictures to come as these projects develop.

Where I stood

I don’t know what I’ve done
Or if I like what I’ve begun
But something told me to run
And honey you know me it’s all or none

There were sounds in my head
LIttle voices whispering
That I should go and this should end
Oh and I found myself listening

‘Cos I dont know who I am, who I am without you
All I know is that I should
And I don’t know if I could stand another hand upon you
All I know is that I should
‘Cos she will love you more than I could
She who dares to stand where I stood

See I thought love was black and white
That it was wrong or it was right
But you ain’t leaving without a fight
And I think I am just as torn inside

And I won’t be far from where you are if ever you should call
You meant more to me than anyone I ever loved at all
But you taught me how to trust myself and so I say to you
This is what I have to do

yes please

Painting = total freedom

Learn to let it go, whatever that may be. And the best way to do that is to paint. Take any color you wish and lay it out where you want it to go and delight in your masterpiece. It’s amazing. Thankful, So thankful for paint.

Happy Thanksgiving! I hope everyone ate and drank till they passed out.
