I'm only kinda sorta back. it's been awhile so i thought I'd just post . . . don't really know why.
been listening to a lot of tropicalia, there's something about listening to music that helped overthrow a dictator that makes you feel empowered. everything is suddenly possible.
have kind of a platonic crush on my friends. the other day we hitched a ride to get soft serve at the gas station in the back of some guy's truck. it felt like home, walking back I started to regret (oh yeah) that this is my last week in Vermont. Back to Memphis in the fall. don't get me wrong, I hate Memphis the town. I'm going for Memphis the school. and I'd feel almost cowardly if i stayed here. Vermont is for getting away, there's no discord (?) I need chaotic environments to keep me working toward something that might do somebody some good.
there was a small gallery show here at school, it was really nothing important, just my class hanging their work for a week in a crummy communal gallery. But there was a reception, and also a crowd around my work. it was very strange, because I was trying to oblige people asking about my work while trying not to be an egomaniac. I guess you could say i was one of the more talked about artists, but everyone's work had "something" to offer. (whatever, they all fucking sucked <('.')>
I do have a real crush on a model in my life drawing class- well, two models. one's just cute, but she's got a boyfriend, the other is this ripped mountain climber with dreds. I'm not gonna ask them out or anything (dating is for the boyds), it's just nice to be around somebody that makes you feel good, especially when that someone is naked. (and also a lesbian, as i just found out. story of my life, swear to gawd)
As for this summer, New Orleans in May, New York in June (visiting my sister. i just found out the other day she's a production assistant for that David Blaine guy in the fishtank. crazy.), also camping in June, and Jackson for July and August. At least that's the idea.
miss you guys. my phone is always on and silent. give a holla.
