Friday

sara, no h

when you are feeling out of sorts,
like you are now,
you're in the mood for music of the angsty genre
(or grungy, circa high school years)
because for you unhappy is
hurt feelings, or guilt for putting something off
because you're always keeping busy all the time
not so much "need to control"
as a tendency for plugging holes
you just start filling in
where it's not being taken care of
and then branch out
whereas a lot of people float down life
not thinking about tomorrow
you've already done your 401k research
and you are writing down what i've said
saving up these lines for interviews

Tuesday

blah.

been sick.

working on henry. so slow going...packed it up into my purse, so hopefully i can do some on muni rides. swatched out the mermaid gloves (linked earlier), trying to pick a color, and reading people's knitting blogs trying to get reinspired in the knitting world.

it looks like it's going to be another rainy day. i hope i don't wish i'd worn my galoshes...i'm going to force myself to do a 1/2 hour workout today, just to ease back into the gym thing. plus, my appetite has been intense lately, and i want to be back at college weight so bad. (contrary to most people's experiences, i actually *lost* weight after leaving my mom's house. it's so much harder to be constantly eating when you have to walk a mile to get the food first.)

i need to write more.

amateurs wait for inspiration; artists create because they have to.

Sunday

+/-

more writing less thinking
less listening more singing
more talking less cooing
less dreaming more doing
more forcing less flowing
less sitting more going
more planning less waiting
less looking more making
more smiling less faking
less dining more baking
more living less existing

Wednesday

again

i find myself not being a regular writer.

bad tina.

i've just been livin' the life. that is, if the life consists of a messy apartment, a whiny cat, and too much rain for a city that isn't seattle.

ogling knitting patterns:
different stiches
mermaid gloves
dragon scale gauntlets
elijah

and that's about it.

Thursday

liza marie

the strongest woman
i've ever known
don't smoke the fucking cigarette from both ends
you'll wear out the sequins
that light up your eyes
there are too many reasons
for you not to
but liza marie
you and those toys
the sweet boys and your dreams
and the Chanel filled beens
of your happily-ever-after
you'll smoke the fucking cigarette from both ends
and smoke leaves you too
