Happy = Pretty

"I believe in pink. I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner. I believe in kissing, kissing a lot. I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles."

- Audrey Hepburn

I was feeling a little down about being the odd man out at my house council meeting, but this quote definitely cheers me up :-)

The Wailing Wall

I am a wall, and you chisel away at me.
Piece by piece,
Removing the stone that covers my vulnerability until
I am raw.
I can no longer hide the way I really feel and
It scares both of us.
So we decide to let time and space separate us so
we can clear are heads.
The problem is that you seem to be constantly buzzing
In my mind.
I work for the hundredth time to barricade my feelings
with a fake strength.
So the cycle repeats again and once more,
I am a wall.

My Head Hurts

The world is too bright, and my mind can't catch up this morning.

I need some sleep.

zzzzzzz...

Peace on the 9th Floor

Am I the noisiest person in this library?
The pounding of my fingers on this keyboard is like the march of a soldier.
Stomp, Stomp, Stomp.

The ninth floor of the library houses all of the books on art. Anthologies, picture books, biographies- they are all located here. You can expect to find me here on any given afternoon. I sit in the northwest corner looking out onto everyone. Usually I am quite productive, finishing homework or researching a paper.

Today is different. Today I sip my coffee and enjoy the guilty pleasures of facebook, google, and of course this blog. It has been such a long time since I have allowed myself time to unwind through free writing. Perhaps if I rant about my life through the virtual world I can be a better person, and a better listener in the real world.

I have also gained new inspiration to write through my English Writing professor. She has pointed out aspects of writing that I seldom explore, and has made process and editing seem much more attainable. I look forward to my endeavors in her class.

I'm Back!

I think it's high time that I started posting again.
It's good for the soul.
