No matter how hard I try, this little girl won't go away. So I'm going to keep her. I'm going to sharpen my teeth and show her the big bad wolf. And what I mean by that, of course, is I'm going draw the hell out of her. And paint her, and shape her until she returns deep into my subconscious and is replaced with another memory for me to oblige.
On a different note, I've been having a great day. We stayed up into the wee hours of the night chatting with friends on the back porch. The moon was beautiful, the air was cool, and we'd just stuffed ourselves with pan per du, eggs, and jimmy dean sausage. Woke up late late late this morning, watched a few episodes of The IT Crowd and got straight to creative madness. Its great because I don't have to put on headphones or anything, I've got a husband making music in the next room.
I started a little project, but I can't post any pictures yet because it's sort of a gift for someone. Just know that it will involve lots of oil paint due to the overwhelming amount of Turpenoid I was, sort of, scammed into buying on Friday..
And now that Joel's at work and I've successfully reached a point where I'm still willing to return to my pieces without maiming them first, I'm going to hit up Vulcan Video and find a dollar movie to watch with friends.
There's something beautiful about being painfully broke and occasionally too self aware. Makes life and people more interesting, more joyful.

ReplyDeleteso true. it makes thing more meaningful. what you give really comes out of generosity and what you receive is received with gratitude... buying groceries fun cause you have to be creative. i think too that its the freedom from slavery to money (mammon) that we get to taste. it hurts at first but the joy is better than being able to get whatever you want. somehow it even makes you thankful for work. God give us just what we need not too much or to little. amen.
