therapeutic illustrated journaling

look at my baby ponytail 
look at my chocolate covered coconut icecream bar


look at my first pair of socks
(keepin dese babies for myself)


lookit all did therapeutic illustrated journaling
this is what I do on my lunch breaks when I get sick of knitting



 


I have been working through my , ~* ' sad feelings ' *~ , in this way. I want to write postcards but I also don't want to be the kind of person that writes postcards full of sad things. I have been eating lots of icecream bars and trying to , ~* ' communicate ' *~ , even though that really just spreads the  , ~* ' sad feelings ' *~ ,  around. Maybe tomorrow I will buy some stamps.

On the upside, I can't remember when I was last this productive.

(a poem)


watching some twin peaks
in my bed full of crumbs

cant call my girfriend
(my parents have my phone)
not really sick

to the lighthouse

... "And that's the end," she said, and she saw in his eyes, as the interest in the story died away in them, something else take its place; something wondering, pale, like a reflection of light, which at once made him gaze and marvel. Turning, she looked across the bay, and and there, sure enough, coming regularly across the waves first two quick strokes and then one long steady stroke, was the light of the Lighthouse. It had been lit. In a moment he would ask her, "Are we going to the Lighthouse?" And she would have to say "No: not tomorrow; your father says not." Happily, Mildred came in to fetch them,and the bustle distracted them. But he kept looking back over his shoulder as Mildred carried him out, and she was certain that he was thinking, we are not going to the Lighthouse tomorrow; and she thought, he will remember that all his life. ...

So this happened.
All other attempts at creative work so far have been dud.

Oh internet, I have not been trying very hard.
I suppose I should also plug Cadavre Exquis (my turn my turn!) ...
Went out firefly hunting last night, but nothing for my project came of it.
Mmph.
