Musics and making arts all night long!
At night
Do you know what it’s like to be half asleep, half awake and dream of things that are so important, so pressing that it wakes you up. It’s so important that I know I need to wake up and remember and DO. Then I come to full consciousness and it’s gone. It’s devastating
Shore it up
I feel like I’m enjoying the outdoors and my friends too much to sit down and write about it.
But I have so much to say and so much that is good.
I’m afraid I’ll forget it.
Also a lot that is hard to watch and I’d rather forget.
A letter I wrote a year ago
“And there are so many stories to tell, too many, such an excess of intertwined lives, events, miracles, places, rumors, so dense a commingling of the improbable and the mundane! I have been a swallower of lives; and to know me, just the one of me, you’ll have to swallow the lot as well.”
Rusty Alan,
I have been in one of those ‘I must create stuff phases’. I come...
I will take my own advice
it is good to be good to each other, even if someone is hurting you.
it is good to be sad with people, even if you can’t understand.
it is good to be happy for people, even if you are sad for yourself.
it is good to guard your heart
and it is good to give it freely.
it is good to grow up and realize you have to take care of yourself
it’s also good to let other people take care of...
I need to be outside. Laying in grass. Under stars or trees or something.
I need to get out of the city.
Like now.
Can't stop listenin' to
Spring time things like:
Akron/Family
Wolf Parade
Kurt Vile
No Joy
constantly rethinking
everything.
Silly skeeze ball
put me on a pedestal and then walk away for the easy ladies-could of had me dummy! At least you were honest about it.
“In love” (surprised me), but admittedly too shallow.
Humans are really wack sometimes.
I should move.
Stuff is weeeeird.
So many things
First day off since I started at the Merc.
Good day to:
Sleep in.
Get a few things mailed and deposited.
Watch Tiny Furniture (and Anna, dang you were right it sucked).
Wear lipstick
Sweat it out and walk downtown.
Run into Cass and Alison, who are always delightful.
See my little sis, hug it out over the loss of our pup Lucy and celebrate the end of her career as a graduate student.
See...
As I’ve been enjoying my mix of favorites...
Good food Tuesday.
Between the amazing pizza I had for lunch at 715, including a salad (all for $7.15) and the slice of carrot cake from the Merc, I swear I’ve ingested at least 2 sticks of butter today.
I’ve been eating really healthy as of late, so this was my off day. It’s Tuesday lunch with Katie and mild PMSing once a month.
I should probably go to bed, wake up and take a good brisk walk...

Mix tapes
Last night I stayed up until 5am making a mix of my favorite song from every artist in my iTunes.
As annoying as it was to stay up that late and as much as I didn’t do today because I slept in, it was kind of worth it. Those are the things I never do during the day, only when I’m stuck at home, wide awake while the world sleeps.
I’m enjoying it immensely on shuffle.
It...
Whoa
I just listened to V_____ and I’s cover of a Brighten song, circa early 2007. I haven’t listened to this in forever!!!
Is that me? Am I singing? I sing? I can’t even recognize myself.
Who is that guy? It’s been so long.
Also it’s so freaking emo. That dude loved/loves(?) making emo music, but didn’t really like listening to it all the time, weird.
At the...

Hey!
Who the heck is hawtdog-cookies and why do you like my posts?! Do not like random blog followers. I already get creeped out enough by spambots. If you’re my friend and/or know me in real life oh please tell me! I promise I won’t think you’re weird (b/c the few things you’ve reblogged are kinda funny, I just gotta know! But if not,…eh…stop liking my personal...
Why I can't finish Absalom, Absalom!
because Faulkner uses the stream-of-consciousness narrative mode.
because after reading East of Eden and The Heart Is A Lonely Hunter, sorry Faulkner I know you’re one of the most important writers in American literature, but it just isn’t as good.
I was so blown away by those two books, I couldn’t put them down, they captivated me, the characters were so filled out,...
Non-stop
Some(most) of the time I want to do art but I’m too tired. I keep planning it. So for things I’m supposed to send to people (Roland and John and Nat), it will come soon, promise.
I have been going non-stop since I got back from Springfield, since before I left I guess.
I am just worntheheckout.
Work is taking it out of me, the bank and Rudy’s.
So excited to join the MERC!...

Certain days
I am just filled to the brim with the amount of love I have for people in my life.
Rusty, dangit, you incredibly smart, unjustly talented at an unfair amount of things, unpredictable, yet oddly reliable, vulnerable and unflinchingly honest man. I’m so proud of you and I’m so glad we can be real with each other. You keep my mind sharp and challenge me to think more, do more and create...
Too many things
Thursday I got a phone call to interview at the Merc in Lawrence! Trying not to get my hopes up.
Road trip to Springfield
Three days in Missouri land
good food, coffee, vintage finds, records and antique dishware
Return to Lawrence
got a record in the mail
Watch KU win over North Carolina to advance to the Final Four
celebrate downtown with friends
return home, laundry, tunes and SLEEP!
...
Cass!
I always like your comments! And your posts/reblogs!
You should write more. ‘Cause I’d read it.
You and Alison have to come hang out on my porch sometime when it’s nice and drink beers/lemonade and vodka.
Keep being awesome!
Mold, chemicals and asthma
Your job or your health.
No one should have to choose. Millions of people do, all over the world.
Today and on one other occasion, I’ve experienced a glimpse of what it’s like to work for a company with little regard for their employees health.
My dilemma:
Our bathrooms are carpeted. The carpet was under standing water because of severe plumbing issues, which lasted for several...
Rock Chalk
Don’t let the looks fool you. I’ve been a Jayhawk my whole life. Daughter of a basketball player, coach, referee and fan.
I don’t think I ever blog about sports on here, but dang that game was intense. Win undeserved, but I’ll take it.
This is why I love March and why I stayed up late Friday night watching highlight reels of old KU games on youtube. Jacque Vaughn, Raef...

It’s just another Saturday
I need a break
It is pretty incredible the amount of time/money girls spend on their looks.
Myself included.
I have goop to put on my eyelashes and a crayon to draw on my eyelids in the morning and I have another goop to take this stuff off at night.
I have gunk to spray on my hair in the morning and stuff to wash it out at night (okay, one night a week)
I use baby powder (I just bought dry shampoo to try)...
