This book very possibly changed my life; especially these words:

“No,” said the little prince. “I am looking for friends. What does that mean— ‘tame’?”

“It is an act too often neglected,” said the fox. It means to establish ties.”

“‘To establish ties’?”

“Just that,” said the fox. “To me, you are still nothing more than a little boy who is just like a hundred thousand other little boys. And I have no need of you. And you, on your part, have no need of me. To you, I am nothing more than a fox like a hundred thousand other foxes. But if you tame me, then we shall need each other. To me, you will be unique in all the world. To you, I shall be unique in all the world…”

“My life is very monotonous,” the fox said. “I hunt chickens; men hunt me. All the chickens are just alike, and all the men are just alike. And, in consequence, I am a little bored. But if you tame me, it will be as if the sun came to shine on my life. I shall know the sound of a step that will be different from all the others. Other steps send me hurrying back underneath the ground. Yours will call me, like music, out of my burrow. And then look: you see the grain-fields down yonder? I do not eat bread. Wheat is of no use to me. The wheat fields have nothing to say to me. And that is sad. But you have hair that is the colour of gold. Think how wonderful that will be when you have tamed me! The grain, which is also golden, will bring me back the thought of you. And I shall love to listen to the wind in the wheat…”

“Men have forgotten this truth,” said the fox. “But you must not forget it. You become responsible, forever, for what you have tamed.”

“You run the risk of a few tears when you allow yourself to be tamed”

First I have to say it is so good to be back in the internet world! Six months without it was awesome. I felt like my life was so private which is something I believe we are all missing in today’s world. However, it is good to be able to look up how to make pizza dough without it being a huge hassel. That being said on here, not many people I know will read it and know I have internet, haha. So still pretty much on the DL.

The big news is that I have finally moved into my new apartment! It is alll mine!!! Feels so good to be living alone again. Especially with the freedom of choosing, paying the deposit, and paying all bills myself. My first real place by myself. I have definately missed late nights drinking beer alone, reading, listening to music, and tumbling. So amazing. This weekend: martinis.

Well Merry Chrimbus Eve everyone! I have been working at the mall as of June and it is my first retail job. So this is my first time working during the holidays. Let me just say, hell. Why are people so fucking psycho around Christmas? It is so not my fault that you waited until this late to buy presents for people you don’t even want to be shopping for and we are out of scarves. Stores run out of things. We are not walmart or Sam’s. Our products are special and in shorter supply. And its also not my fault that we don’t have boxes. Buy your own damn boxes. I just really don’t understand how a certain date in the year can switch everyone’s brains to psycho mode. But I am insanely happy that I have had this awesome experience. Everyday at the mall is like peeking into the very core of human behavior. Now I just have to get ready for after Christmas!!!!

So not having internet in my apartment is really starting to suck. Especially considering the fact that I would like to be able to update my tumblr so much more often. Especially since I am actually working on art now! I guess my best friend Zaque Hutchings will just have to wait to see those pictures…

Started my new job Wednesday night. Manager said I was “his new favorite” because I smile all the time. He also told me all people who were art majors are weird and a little crazy, can’t say I completely disagree.

So glad I don’t have work tomorrow! Maybe I can finish my painting tonight! Considering that I took a five hour nap (which is exactly how long I usually sleep at night) and that I have been back on my medicine, I do not think I should have any problems staying up.

Talk to you again soon!

For some reason, at this moment, I feel a need to narrate my entire day to those who read (because I am pretty sure like no one does so it doesn’t matter anyway)

So first of all I went to work and actually got to clock in on time! Super exciting. Went shopping, finally found a skirt to match my super cute tights and pants and shoes! Had to drive to Moore in traffic (blech) and THEN went to wal mart where I got…….

AN ESPRESSO MAKER!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes! Now I can make my own fancy drinks! Bad news is I of course bought coffee beans and no grinder. I was not about to give up, so I used all my available strength, which is not much, to finely chop those coffee beans up. Then made espresso! I don’t think I chopped the coffee beans up enough…or I put too much milk in my espresso because it’s very milky. Oh but next time it will be awesome.

Then I was walking to campus to steal internet to write this blog and of course do very important things and this guy asked me if I wanted to buy chocolate. Like a really shady guy that if you bought chocolate from him it is really like code for some new crazy drug that only real street people know about. I said no thanks. To which he replied, I never met a white girl who turned down chocolate. Cool.

Finally made it to campus safely (you know, once I had taken the long walk to cross the street) and these girls asked me if I was teacher here. Really? I thought I looked 18. Apparently that has changed recently. I guess that’s cool.

So NOW I am FINALLY REALLY TRUELY starting a painting! Not sure which one I want to do first, there are so many options! #1 I definitely want to make fun of Mel Ramos but do not want to end up with a painting that is totally sick that I will never want to look at #2 Told my friend I would paint a picture for him, still wanting to go with making fun of Mel Ramos but since he knows nothing about art he would not find it very funny…..#3 Guess I will have to do a mix between my illustration style while totally ripping inspiration off of many of these good people here!

Interesting stuff indeed!

Got a job today. At the first place I went to!!! I will soon be working at Mama Rojas on Lake Hefner! Its like a dream come true. Especially with the hope of possibly becoming a bartender in a very short period of time. Except I have to take this test…and they didnt give me all the stuff I need to study….that might be a problem.

Cant wait to be makin all the dough.

Yes, you read correctly, i have totally redirected my addictions. So now I am not just someone who visits starbucks occasionally. OH NO MY FRIENDS! I am pretty sure I have been EVERYDAY this week. So not ok. But I have been super productive!!

More importantly however, I have been super annoyed today. Sometimes life breakthroughs can do that to you. Changing your perspective on life and dealing with problems is a hard and yet super rewarding thing to do.

Now I leave you with what I have created for my sister’s baby shower, DR. SEUSS THANK YOU CARDS!

I bought some Strathmore Sequential Art Bristol Paper today!!! Hopefully I will be posting art on here very very soon!

I love graphic novels and have thought about making one a lot in the past, now it seems I should finally do it. Got to set my own goals now that there is no college assignments to work on.

Goal #1: Make one panel for my story I wrote!
