Sporadic musings of a girl shaped person (zingiber) wrote, @ 2005-07-19 00:00:00

Coming back to this place like an old friend. I'm sitting in a different chair at my parents place again, just visiting this time, in a different State mind you, but still. things feel familiar....

I notice it's Claud's birthday. Happy Birthday! And just incase I miss it, Happy birthday to Steve too!

I'm not going to make any promises of regular updates this time. I supose age and experience breed realism? I don't know. I'm feel a bit cynical these days.

If you were to talk to me this time last year, I would have said "Everythings awesome! I'm getting married! Can you believe it?!!!"

Now I'm just blowing rasberries at the world in general. I hate that shit is never as it seems. And it makes me mad that promises aren't what they used to be.... I have to learn and accept that I control nothing in my life and never have.

Sounds a bit sad-sackish doesn't it? I'm not really though. I like stuff. I like things. I like some things better than I like some stuff. Generally, the world is a good place to be. Just don't talk to me about men pretending to feminists who believe in equality and think they can empathise with period pain, and we'll get along just fine....

As you can probably guess I'm feeling bitter. But I haven't had a ciggarette in two days so I think I'm aloud. Sorry none the less.

List of reasons to enjoy life:
I like people
the sun rises wether I'm up to enjoy it or not
red wine
rainbows
hooping
Terry Pratchett novels
ciggarettes
cigarettes
cigarettes
I don't smoke ciggarettes
Buffy
colours and paint brushes
hugs
music

That's all for now I think. I'll hit the update button and go check out my friends page; read a few things, consider witty, intellegent replies, not post them (due to shyness) and go to bed. :)

	yay! I was just thinking about you the other day, wondering what you were up to in the way of art lately. that and if you had died or something. ;) (Reply to this) (Thread)

Nope, not dead! Just sans computer and feeling too lazy to go to a cafe or library to look at the internet. :) Thanks for thinking of me. :) Art is good, though sporadic. I'm doing portraits at the moment... well kind of. I'm using thumbprints as portraits, which is kind of weird sounding, but it's working really well. If I ever get the chance to, I'll post a picture of one some day. Oh, to have a digi camera! :) Speaking of artists, 'Mini' has artists hands if I ever saw them. Lovely long fingernails. :) Are you still painting? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

he does have long fingers, I hope he is artistically inclined. Then I won't feel like an odd one out in the fam. Or then he can spend time with me when I'm an old lady and help me mix paint while I delegate from my lofty position of unsold artist. Heh. I'm still painting, just having issues with the starting and all that. the thumbprint thing sounds interesting, I would love to see photos (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Well hello there! Thanks for the birthday mention. I'd better write some more entries so I can get some of those witty, intelligent replies! ;) Glad to see you're focussing on the things you can enjoy in life. P'raps you can show me how it's done. Bleh me. Hope to see more from you soon :) (Reply to this) (Thread)
