I'm feeling this need to be poetic...I always feel the need to write, like it nags in the back of my mind...but this, it's different. I've been sick for like a week and a half, and I'm not getting any better really, and I'm just so drug down and tired...and the last day or so I've been feeling this urge to write...like I said, different somehow.
It started with this flyer in Chambliss that advertised
this and then Fastweb linked it as a scholarship opportunity...so I'm thinking, I hate videos, but I just purchased a digital camera that has video capability...SO...I COULD do this, if I wanted...
And then it keeps going in my Urban Soc. class, where at the end of the semester we're responsible for this project, it can be a paper, but it can be anything, talking about an aspect of urban culture. MY first instinct two weeks ago was to do mine on Urban poetry, but I've been thinking, and there's so much I'm interested in, like activism, social change movements, poetry, street art...OH! So I'm going to ask if I can do it on "using art as a form of social change in inner cities..."
I also have to translate a poem into Spanish for class, which also makes me want to write...go figure. I'm going to have to break down and take the time to be creative or my brain's going to explode. And that'd probably be bad. Probably.
Oh yeah, I got to spend Saturday evening with two of my girlfriends that I haven't seen in a while. It was great. I miss friendship, close sisterbonds that can't be created randomly, but have to be given to one another. *sigh* Maybe I appreciate them more because they're rare? I just miss them...but it was fantastic to spend the evening with heart friends. :) We saw a stupid movie (the Covenant) did some shopping (bought a fantastic jean skirt that's groundtouching!) and all was well with the world.
:)
Hope everyone is well.
