merry christmas!
- december 24, 2009
time magazine called the 00s the decade from hell.

i don't know.

i was an adult for the first time in that decade from hell. and i think i might of confused the hell of being an adult and just a really fucking bad decade as the same thing. whatever, it is, i am glad to see it go. too bad the adult part has to stay. also too bad i still feel 16ish.

what i did in 2009,
continued to not bite my nails
continued to use public transport
continued to make hearts
made prints of those hearts
got my first (and most likely last) restraining order
realized how self destructive i had become and mostly stopped
learned photography & how to print photographs
learned how to block print
learned how to draw (kind of)
learned how to round brush my hair (!!!!), greatest thing i have ever learned actually
met somebody who makes me feel like i have never felt before
went into the ocean for the first time in 10 years
built my very first installation based on my heart collections and it is huge
stopped smoking
did everything little thing i wanted to do in regards to making art without thinking about collections or series, etc.

11x14 inch monotypes.
- december 22, 2009


we were playing with acrylics over the weekend, my boyfriend made that as he was working on a canvas i gave him. i absolutely love it.

i am busy - wrapping gifts. making peppermint bark, gift tags. framing and matteing things. favorite time of the year? it is becoming such - simply because i love to make things.

mike and i finally started on the tree! it's not finished, but it'll have to wait until my final critiques are over (thursday!). we found the branches behind a drug testing center, on a street called oak.. & we ran out of lights.
