Wochenende
Last Friday Pip played a show at the No Future...Alec helped out...and they did a stellar job.
While we were out that evening, Acacia and Aimee arrived at our house with their Pa. They were asleep when we got home, but the next morning i got up and had breakfast with them (Acacia and Aimee...Pa was gone at this point). Acacia made us fried eggs. yum...
and we ate outside! it was so amazingly beautiful!
Acacia tried to play the didgeree do...
And then it was time to work on Laurel's wedding invitations!
Acacia liked the cheesy puffs.
Later that day Acacia, Aimee Pip and i went for a walk along a trail by the golf course...and then Pip took us to the "secret portal"...which just turned out to be a creepy bum hangout underneath the freeway. It was such a gorgeous day! It was nice to get out.
That evening we made oatmeal and stuff and talked about really weird things. If i get a chance this weekend, i'll put up some videos.
Alec was there too...you just can't see him.
On Sunday after church we had to go to the paper store to get more invitation supplies...so we stopped by Old Town...
i'd like to think that there's an intriguing and intense story behind this picture...
(:
almost finished...!
Acacia and Aimee left that night. ): And they left their mix CD that i made for them. Well, i actually forgot to give it to them. So i'll mail it this week.
Mom and i went out for sushi yesterday and talked. It was good...we discussed things i've been needing to tell her about for a while now...i took this picture from the parking lot (it had rained the night before...so it was my favorite sort of day).
Guess what? i sold my watercolor...the one pictured below! hooray! I really like watercolor. a lot. a lot alot. In fact i'm sitting here at school fresh out of my watercolor class as i've been putting this together. Now i'll drive to Trader Joes, get a workout, eat dinner, do homework and go to sleep. Maybe do some music...theres a pretty awesome song i want to try and cover.
thanks for everyone's prayers...i'm tired and moody but God is really trying to pick me up. But i'm one of those little kids who goes all limp and arches their back and won't let Him get a grip on me. I frustrate myself.
grr.
good night...i mean...guten nacht!

morning star
In my watercolor class i'm doing a master copy of a Mucha piece. I chose this one...
(the color in this reproduction is pretty shoddy.)
And here's my drawing...i didn't trace it or anything. i think that's cheating. so if there are a few things off, that's why. but i like it...
I'll be painting on it today...aaagh! I've never done a watercolor painting before so i'm praying i don't destroy it! i'm really scared. ):
I'll let you know what happens...
Over the weekend was my mom's birthday.
I hope it rains soon.

just a couple of questions, please.
so, i will now reveal a little guilty pleasure of mine. i really like filling out these stupid little questionnaries. But i don't like putting them up on myspace for the world to see. It's to self-centered and silly to me. But i like having them to look back on. i think it's fun. so i'll just post this one here instead. i may do this every so often...

Pictures from my week
I took these on Tuesday...
I took these driving to school this morning...
This is etched into the table i'm sitting at right now...
Oh yea, and i wore swirly tights today.
I'm teaching myself how to play the piano. It's really fun and frustrating...so it's good for me. At least i have voice lessons under my belt so i can sight read a little...but music theory is a lot more complicated than i thought it was. It's like learning another language...so that makes it pretty awesome and scary and hard and, to me, fascinating. There's been a lot of, "oooh so that's what that little squiggly thing means. I want to use that!"
Soon i'll be able to actually write music...yay! And i won't even need the piano to do it...i can be sitting somewhere and a melody will run through my head and i'll just jot it down. That's going to be sweet.

Alec's Day!
Yesterday was Alec's 23rd birthday! He and Sarah were supposed to fly over to Dallas to spend it with his family...but they both got sick and had to be stuck here with the boring old Police's. oh well.
We decided to go out for a special Alec's birthday dinner. He likes Indian food, so yesterday evening before Bible study, mom and Sarah and i took him to Akbar in Old Town...
...and enjoyed a fine meal of saffron rice, okra, chicken and vegetable akbari, and of course, garlic Nan!
twas quite good.
Afterwards we went to Bible Study...which was very good even though i was strangely out of it...and Jan made Alec oatmeal chocolate chip brownies for his birthday! aawwww...
I have some videos...but can't yet get them up. perhaps soon.
