inner workings

bad decisions are still decisions. so at least i made one! haha.

i'm thinking my next tattoo will be a maple leaf. because it represents hooome and rooots and bridging my two resident locations. yeah?

it's raining. thanks to hanna and gustav. that's kind of cool, that we're affected by it, right? helloooo mother nature. you are present today.

i'm going to stage manage a show with masks.


maybe i'll borrow one to wear.

oh good morning, sun!

so here i am. at college. it's a heavy life. a utopian society at times. dysfunctional. but fun! always the fun. modlife is wonderful. i love having a whole place, instead of just a room. but still a room.

"the one spirit's plastic stress
which sweeps through the dull,
dense world"

is stamped onto the front of the shelf on my desk. i decided to keep it. just in case i wanted to remember how depressed hampshire students get.

my ankles hurt. boots kill. but live.

i'm working at the farm now, eternal cow odor upon my existence. i don't mind, i hope i don't get immune to it though so i'm not aware it's there. anyway. i'm a cow milkin, calf, pig and turkey feedin girl. livin the life. it was enjoyable being up with the sun.

weird ups and downs. trying to keep last year out of my head as much as possible. adapting is weird, but so natural right? i guess everyone does it. we are not unique. but only when together. apart, we are snowflakessssss.

anticipate her, anticipator

i'm making a mix for my czech cousin. going through itunes. listening to old songs. being 15 being 16 being 17. clever graphic tees. not getting it yet, but getting there. feeling trappppped feeling awwwwwwkward feeling hormonal! sufjan stevens obsessed. postal service influenced. i had the t-shirt first.

but then i realize that i leave evanston to start my 2nd year of college the day after tomorrow.

times they achange.

sir realist

so i go back to the hampshire college in t-minus 3 daze. it's weird. i assumed i was going to be in evanston forever. i've been here since the beginning of may, with one lovely weekend in michigan and music festivals as vacation. this summer was such a staple to my emotional diet. it was definitely the most interesting summer yet, the most stressful the most busy possibly the most fun. and just completely over the top ridiculous. the zt b&b, is what we called it. due to the amount of humans coming in and out and in and out and in and out over the past 3.5 months. i've met more people than i thought i would, more has happened than i ever thought, ever bargained for. which is both good and bad. because it helped me mature yet again, even though i thought it couldn't go any further. but OH IT WENT FURTHER. i guess the lesson i've learned is that it always will. and i can't get invested in something that won't come back. as much as closure is needed, for me. in countless situations in just the past year, ive had to settle with telling myself "he's just crazy and crazy people can't explain themselves".

it's getting annoying. but that's been the only way i can move on without reasonable explanations given.

good thing i'm off to hampshire where everyone is so normal. what a relief that will be! wait. nope. just kidding.



this is what came up in google images under "crazy boy".

i don't know what to do when it comes to other people's problems. anymore. i used to be all into giving advice and being all knowing about everything, which is totally still fun, but this summer has been such a distraction from caring about other people. i guess i've only been distracted by myself and my need to figure things out i have no idea about yet. so it's confusing. because how am i supposed put myself in the middle of someones plural when i can't put myself in the middle of me? and not come out a bad guy, assuming to take sides and etc. when really, i just go with whoever whenever wherever and don't think about any implications. oops.

that dream last night has kept me in a state very unattached to the real world. i keep thinking the joker ACTUALLY did try to kill me but i escaped through the window and ran through the streets calling people for help (including a someone that didn't really react, my un-home parents, the un-answering police) and trying to find my way home or just somewhere and ended up by train tracks with people i didn't know that were happy and helpful and comforting. and then i ended up in the same room with mr. joker while i was supposed to be hiding from him in a resort, i kept putting my book and magazines in front of my face so he wouldn't see me and well, try to kill me. that same someone was sitting and talking with him at the other end of the room. and i thought "ohhh ok, so that's why they haven't been calling. that would just be awkward." and didn't really think twice about this person cavorting with the enemy, the psycho trying to kill me. which made me kinda pissed when i woke up. woke up, at which point i opened my eyes to my room and my closet and my very safe life with no one trying to kill me. which was a huge comfort.

all the dreams i've had lately in which i'm running from something or someone or some psycho is trying to kill me (which is very recurrent...), there is never any reason behind the running away and the killing. why would anyone want to kill me? i never think about the reason, i just run like a maniac, sometimes panicked thinking my life is about to end, sometimes completely calm and just in the zone of escape.

gahh.

now i have to go to family dinner

me and ellie are wizards of the kitchen.
baking happiness into chocolate!

how brilliant!
we'll be filthy rich. filthy and dirty.
