i am very cold at the moment. in case you were wondering.
otherwise, life has been appropriately hilarious, frustrating, delightful, grotesque, and comfortably inescapable.
time is moving far too fast lately, sometimes i struggle with keeping up. since i've last actually updated, there have been a few notable events. i went back to vista and fulfilled damn near every dream i had of the trip. it was, predictably, pure magic to get even those few days with dear, dear friends and adventures galore. hoorah! i even got to spend an evening with janie! fantastic.
upon my return, the city was full of sunshine. this lasted for several weeks and was truly glorious. school hadn't started yet, so i played with my accordion and made a collage using nutmeg, salt, and pepper as sand. it's still not finished. taylor came to visit me and we gallivanted about the city as best we could in the days allotted, although neither of us were satisfied so he might come back next month. the weather began to change at the end of january and since then it's been erratic or just plain annoying. (today, for example. i have no idea how to dress. it's the kind of sky that appears capable of both muggy, sticky heat AND freezing downpour. oh, san francisco.)
february feels like it lasted two weeks... maybe less. i had a magnificent birthday! bethany came to visit for my dance party. the party was FIRST CLASS. the awful weather caused several last minute cancellations, and i was quite concerned. but those of us in attendance danced fervently, crazily, and often times with my han solo cardboard cutout. we went nuts. AND i got awesome handmade birthday presents from the brilliantly creative girls i hang out with. bethany custom-made me an avocado green tote bag with a seal on it (he's balancing a ball on his nose!). and april made me the most adorable, charming earrings that made me squeal with delight.
OH, PLUS. chels and i got matching rebel alliance tattoos.
after my birthday, the past month becomes a big blur... i've spent most of my time either in class or with the girls, making delicious dinners, taking trips to the orbit room for bourbon & basils, wandering around the mission for hours, dinner, cigarettes, and drag queens at lila's apartment, and singing and/or dancing on basically every street we cross in san francisco.
oh! and leah came to visit again! and sequoia and kelly's show! that was absolutely glorious! andddd there was an enormous party at fort awesome, and kelly, schwarzey, and i spent a day with the rain and antiques and- hot damn! i swear, i have lovely pictures from most of the aforementioned events. i really do have this much fun.
