Why am I reading this?

I am Twyla, I live in Saskatoon, SK, Canada, and I just graduated from my B.F.A Honors in Fine Art and moved into the work force and away from home. My internet handle is newsong , and I am an avid online journaller. Blogging has infiltrated my daily life, and I write not only about my experiences, but about my thoughts on many ( Read more... )

and today I will trust you with the confidence
of a man who's never known defeat
and I'll try my best to just forget
that that man isn't me

Today it is hot outside, sunny with the perfect, puffy summer clouds. I took photos for work - professional photography, I say, since I was paid for it - and granted I took a few for myself since the forest has ( Read more... )

Tonight I saw Icharus descending... But you'll need to wait for the Blogathon to see it too.

Today there was a trip to Prince Albert which was extremely needle-in-haystacky as usual. Made better by virtue of listening to angry chick music on the way there and back for fun. Seriously, I think I dug out the best of it. Behind These Hazel Eyes, check. ( Read more... )

A couple random pieces of real life news before I konk out to sleep much later than I should ( Read more... )

I'll do whatever it takes
To turn this around
I know what's at stake
I know that I've let you down
And if you give me a chance
Believe that I can change
I'll keep us together
Whatever it takes

I'm kind of all blogged out from the Blogathon ($1010!! WOOO!) but I do have things to say about the last several days. First off though, triple thanks to ( Read more... )

Desperate for changing
Starving for truth
Closer to where I started
Chasing after you

Just before midnight last night, a kind sponsor donated the final $50 to help me make it to my goal of raising $1000 for Not For Sale. Then today, a friendly blogger came over and donated $5 and ANOTHER ONE, so I have officially EXCEEDED my goal for the 2007 'thon. ( Read more... )

Haven't you always wanted to do an Oscar-winner speech for something? Well, I'm honored to find out that many of you think my blog, my cause, and my artwork are worth a large donation, and I think that means I'm a winner. I'm nearly to my goal!
