stealing trees



this picture is funny to me because it's my silhouette, when i was sixteen and had pulled all my bangs out but no one said anything about it, and in the background you see that little tree? those are glass collectable trees, and every year my mom and nana steal them from each other, like a little game, only this year my mom got mad because nana took two and didn't bring them back

the neutral milk hotel box set is a good thing right now
i sat in the sitting room, at the coat rack that has a mirror attached
and i drew a picture of a tired face
i didn't feel like shading in my hair so i left it white because i'd rather be blonde anyway

i haven't pulled out any of my hair today, so far. drawing helps.

lately i haven't been writing
well, that's not true, i have a new quill pen and calligraphy set
and i'm practicing my cursive and my letters and writing names
but i haven't been writing poems

i do have a short story i've been working on, off and on, about various homeless people i met last year, but it's hard to write something so chock-full of interesting people and the interesting things they say. i might need to water it down somehow. otherwise, it reads like this:

THIS HOMELESS WOMAN WEARING A TURQUOISE NECKLACE WAS DOING SOMETHING REALLY INTERESTING, MAYBE ASKING ME TO FIND HER SOME SIZE 2 HIGH WAIST LEVI JEANS OR A NEW PAIR OF MOCCASINS, AND THEN SHE DID THIS OTHER WEIRD INTERESTING THING, LIKE EATING A GLASS SANDWICH

AND THEN ANOTHER AND ANOTHER AND REALLY YOU FORGET BY THE END THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT A HOMELESS WOMAN AND WHAT DOES THAT MEAN

it just kind of loses meaning i guess, so i don't know where to go with it

in all seriousness,
please extend your thoughts to my extended family today. my cousin was hit by a train while in her car. she has three young children and they need her to be well. we all do

update/ i started a fashion blog where i bitch about trends i hate, the importance of styling, staying classy, etc.
