you can all relax now.

So i know it's been forever, and although i have only gotten one complaint about my lack of posting, i am sure there are throngs of you who are disappointed and perhaps even worried about my absence.

i went to new york last weekend. it was fun. it was laid back. i had a good time, but i do think that next time i go i want to do more, go to a party or somethin. but i can't complain about getting copious amounts of sleep.

other than new york... i've been working and still going to class. whoo!! exciting.

i want to start making earring cards and selling my jewelry again... i don't have an ideal way to get the word out about my stuff, but i'm going to try. cuz i need money, muthah. i also want to do more real illustration... in nyc, mark, liz and i went to dr. sketchy's and drew akynos, an insanely voluptuous burlesque dancer. it inspired me, as life drawing always does. i would like to date someone who will pose for me so that i can really draw from life for extended periods of time. i'll scan in some of the drawings for you guys to see if you're interested. and who's not interested in a curvy, black, fro-ed, corseted burlesque dancer in a school girl uniform? call me crazy...

i'm enjoying life right now. i get to see my fam and friends on a regular basis and my stress level is low. my mom is coming into town on monday or tuesday... it should be interesting. it'll be nice to see her i think, although she will be coming from seeing sheri and that will be bad. sheri is my mom's best friend and has terminal cancer. so mom may be upset. we'll see how it goes.

man, the real world is so far removed from how it began... just sayin'...

i am thrilled about the beginning of fall. i get to wear boots. i get to drink tea. it's fantastic. it's a bit warm again now, but hopefully it will start smelling like fall outside. i really really want to walk around richmond in the fall with someone. let's go to forest hill park, or even to carytown, i don't even care, as long as it's not short pump or anything. i love this town, and i'm going to leave it, so let's take advantage of it. and i am planning an apple-picking trip which will surely result in apple cobbler. mmmmmmmmmmm fall.

i want to see across the universe. as much as i dislike beatles songs performed by anyone other than the beatles, i do like evan rachel wood and the psychedelic imagery. i really like to go to the movies, and i probably do it twice a year.

i feel like this entry is lackluster... like i'm just listing shit i've done recently, or would like to do. hmm. contentness makes for boring blogs.

fucking real world.
