Cloudy

November is approaching quickly and it is freaking me out. Time needs to slow. down.
This afternoon will be busy, setting up an area to take nice artwork shots then putting that stuff up on etsy. I need to earn some money if I want to keep going out with friends, if I want to dress up for halloween, and well, most importantly if I want to keep paying my credit card bill (and yes! I do want to keep paying that!)

I am always concerned about making money and needing a job. Though I know I am never concerned enough :o/ Or I get too concerned and it intimidates me so I don't get anything done.
Some days I really feel the worry and concern I push to the back of my mind. It doesn't feel good, but I need to learn to deal with it and really do something about it.

So today, I am putting art up on etsy, and going down the street to the pizza place to see if they need any help. And I'm going to keep hoping for the museum assistant job I recently applied to (and I'm going to study up on African Art!) Some days I feel responsible, some days I feel very irresponsible. A little break after graduation isn't horrible, but it has gone on long enough. I am anxious about money, and I just really miss work. I miss being in museums, I miss having really productive days. I like being part of a team, I like being part of something bigger, something that contributes. Soon, soon. I will make things fall into place soon. Think positively and act positively.

Have a good afternoon!

a poem, in the works

Medium Rare

Love me like a steak.
Tender, juicy,
Pink-in-the-middle-raw.

You’ll be treated like a
cream puff,
delicate and sweet.

I go well with mashed
potatoes, pepper, and
sweaty onion-halves.

You pair nicely with wine,
crème fraiche,
salted caramel.

Handled wrong, we’ll
both be tough. But,
gristle can be flavor.



What do you think? It's fun how some poems are never really done. (Fun and sometimes frustrating...) I think I like it as is, but I'd love to hear any critique. Have a good afternoon!

I swear I am working on a post. It will be up in the next few days.

oh my.

:o) hope all is well.

"Dive through windows and rescue our friends"

Beautiful things break my heart. Beautiful music, beautiful writing, beautiful things said from one person to another.
It breaks from the overwhelming goodness of it all. From the honesty, the purity. The passion and the energy.
It is a good break.
