the pirate's life for me

[lalabet]

break is going pretty well. alex came through like a tornado, all speed and dizziness. then he left. i took him down to rva. he liked it. my bike got stolen. that sucked. christmas was good but there weren't any surprises. i knew what i was getting, so that part wasn't as much fun. i made a gingerbread house. it was frustrating but it ended up being really beautiful. it's funny how i think of making art diferently than making/doing other things. if it's a painting i go back and keep working working working until i get it right. and it's natural. it's not natural for schoolwork. i have to convince myself to do revisions. i'm kind of sick of not being perfect. but i guess the real problem is that i think it's even possible to be perfect. eh whatever. i'm sick of being introspective. i feel very replete with me right now...

i went to the bahamas. it was warm enough to go swimming. i think my mom is worried about me. but she likes to worry, so i guess i'm doing her a favor.
i'm gonna go read the second summer of the sisterhood. i love those pants books. and then maybe i'll read something that will make me smarter.
