Being there
I’m creating art and listening to Wilco. How wonderful.
I had dinner tonight with my mom. I must say that i find it a tad bit odd that I have to go to dinner just to see someone who I share a residence with. Oh bother. I guess we just have really really different schedules, which sucks. but my schedule is really compatible with my life and really compatible with my dads. It’s nice to be able to park in the driveway cos i need to leave at or before the time that my dad leaves every day and it’s nice that we’re both getting up and around at the same time. It makes the house seem less lonely.
Mom and I ate at Red Lobster which was really fun. I hadn’t been there in a while. Only like once since Joe and I broke up. Or maybe a few more times than that but not more than 4 times at the absolute most. It’s delicious. And I had something new on the menu which was also nice. Dinner lasted about two hours. I’m glad that Mom and I can fill that much conversation and make fun of each other pretty well. I was telling her about my painting that I did the other night (the one with the terrible color composition… except i fixed that trauma last night and now it’s really beautiful) and she was like “when did you start painting? was that when you were at stormont west?” and i just shook my head and laughed and told her i hated her. and then she was like “no… i’m serious… you did crafts there!” lol. what a bitch.
the new art i’m creating is magnificent. it’s inspired by femininity. and it’s meant to be visceral. and vaginal. lol. it’s sort of based on paleolithic art (woman of willendoorf mixed with a cave painting) and also sort of based on my vulva. fucking awesome. have i mentioned to the world how much i love menstruating? i get all empowered. especially when it’s on the full moon. brilliant.
this reminds me of a conversation i had with dr. wynn about the danger of having a blog when yr applying to grad school. my trouble will not be my politics but instead my fascination with the menses. gasp.
oh yay! cara got a tuition waiver and assistanceship from florida state! yipyip!
