I don't see what anyone can see in anyone else, but you.

I like the musical Crazy For You. If you pay attention you will see it quoted a lot here.

Within me a lunatic sings.

When does it become redundant to say that "things have just been hard for me lately"? After about 3 years? What about "there's been a lot going on recently"?



♥

Go do.

 Like I said, I really was in a Go Do phase.






♥

I want to make you happy, I want to make you feel alive.

 I just love this one.





♥

We should always know that we can do anything.

I fell head over heels in love with Go Do by Jonsi a few weeks ago.


♥

Running home, running home, running home, running. Home.

It drives me absolutely crazy every time that I forgot to capitalize the 'm' in I'm. And yes, you would not have noticed that if I hadn't said.

And so though love may not inspire my lingo, still it's making my heart go BANG-o BING-o.

Remember Last Time by Avi Buffalo

My watercolor paper is too big for my scanner..so it's a bit blurry and the color is a tad bit wonky. With my sketches like this I use larger paper and don't use and pen or ink. For my outlining I use water color, and for the people I leave them in pencil.

And when she sings, I hear a symphony.

Stay Young, Go Dancing by Death Cab

We're kings among run aways.

Of Angels and Angles by The Decemberists

I have been in love with this song since I got back from theater camp.

And when you scream,

love, you seem

Codes and Keys by Death Cab


like a child
throwing stones at the sky.




♥

Stay young; go dancing.

♥

and if you feel just like a tourist..

in the city you were born then..

it's time to go.

♥

and I will try to fix you;

Honey pie, you are making me crazy.

Favorite book: The Secret Life of Bees. So it was sunny and warm yesterday, the first time both of those things have happened at once all year. I got a little excited. So I decided I'd read out on my back porch and have a smoothie like I do everyday of my life in the summer. Then I finished my smoothie, and it was too bright to read my book, so I just laid there for another hour:) And I got a little pink from it! I have light lines from my v-neck shirt and bracelets! That is a very exciting phenomena in the Northwest. I am so excited for summer:))

I look at the world..

and I notice it's turning,
while my guitar gently weeps.

With every mistake we must surely be learning..

The Color Code

 So one of my favorites books is The Color Code by Taylor Hartman, which I highly recommend to everyone. It's a personality profile and you take a quiz at the beginning to determine your "core color" and "secondary colors". The four different colors represent four different personalities. One's core color is their core personality which they cannot change, the secondary colors are traits {good or bad} from the other colors mixed into the core color. My core color is blue, and my secondaries are white then yellow {the fourth color is red, and I am not red at all}. Lately I've been trying to figure out what has made me who I am, so I thought rereading this book would help with that. As I was reading it this morning came across this paragraph and really liked it.

"Blues see the world through positive and healthy emotional eyes as well. They care deeply for those elements of living that tug at their hearts. Weddings, parades, and birthdays are great cause for celebration, but Blues even see beyond the events and take time to reflect on the lives of those involved. They think of their own weddings and what it means to be in love. They consider all the hours it takes to prepare the costumes and mechanics of a parade as it passes by. Blues wonder how their aging grandmother feels on her seventieth birthday, and are mesmerized by a three-year-old blowing out candles on a cake. They "make" time for sharing the important moments of life."
