 It's a song . There aren't any boy images in this post.

Libertine Spring RTW 2012

Black and white boy
Black and white boy

ADAM Spring RTW 2012

You're so extreme
You're so confused 

Libertine Spring RTW 2012

Color me in whatever mood I'm in
I could be still in touch with you

L.A.M.B. Spring RTW 2012

And you're full of the wonder of spring
It's all sweetness and lightness you bring

Alice + Olivia Spring RTW 2012

And a room full of people fall to your infinite charm
But when darkness should quickly descend 

L.A.M.B. Spring RTW 2012

You go quietly, my miserable friend
To the depths of despair you will crawl

That's me rollerblading in 2006.

When you shake off the shadows of night
And your eyes are so clear and so bright 

I got a new to me, used guitar.  :) The guitar on the left is my old electric guitar. I am keeping it.

The guitar on the right is my new 
Fender Stratoacoustic.
I know they look near identical, but they are different.
I didn't intend to buy another black guitar.
That's just the one I found.  
I can play my new guitar with or without an amp.
My old blue acoustic guitar was smashing my breasts and digging into my ribs because I'm a short girl, 
and so this guitar is a smaller size and fits my body better.

You'll make fools of the liars and creeps
Put a rose in my cheeks...

But when demons have climbed on your back
You are vicious and quick to attack

And you put on a wonderful show
Do you really, really think I don't know?

My art journal page from April 20, 2012 

I was wearing a Jimi Hendrix t-shirt,
blue pants,
silver glitter nail polish,
and my hair in a bun. 
I was NOT wearing the dream Spring outfit I drew. 

On April 14, 2012

 I felt tired.
I was watching Touch on TV.
For dinner, that day, I ate homemade
 broccoli cheddar soup.
I listened to the All At Once album
 by Airbourne Toxic Event.

On April 14,  I was learning Missunderstood
 by Earshot. We saw them in concert here.


The other song I was learning on guitar, in April, was Wherever I Stand by Taproot.

This video is their acoustic version.
I learned their regular rock version,
but I didn't like any of the videos for it.

I have never seen them in concert.

one midsummer afternoon

In a neighborhood,  a couple blocks away
 from mine, I walked.

I wore a thrifted tie dyed tank.

I stood, and I slightly smiled.

I wore a pink bracelet my mom made.

I wore a guitar pick necklace,
my cousin made.

I got sassy, but that's not anything new.

Here's my midsummer day
and midsummer night art pages.

I go outside my backyard. I hear insects, cars, neighbors' dogs barking, some annoying motor sound from the middle school behind my house buzzing. There are birds chirping, and an airplane overhead.
 I feel itchy. I'm probably allergic to something
the wind is blowing faintly.
 I hear it gently rustle the leaves in my yard.
They sway. I feel warm cement on my bare feet.
I smell mustiness and dirt. I taste my peppermint gum.
It's not calm and peaceful. I'm getting a headache, so I go inside.

It says:
The only garden she could grow was with a pen.

At night is usually when I practice my guitar.
We can hear airplanes, trains, insects, and did I mention dogs barking? I keep a heating pad,
and I read until I'm ready to fall asleep.
We have these high ceilings with these semi-circle windows, and the sky is often not dark, not black. Here it's like a grey lavender through the window.  The other night I saw a huge grasshopper on the window.

 Rudderless by The Lemonheads 

I first heard the The Lemonheads when I watched the movie Catch and Release. I waited for the credits, then wrote down who the bands were.
Then I looked the bands up. 

I had mixed feelings about this movie.
I always feel sorry for the guy characters who are in love with the girl, and she doesn't love them back. Even if it's a guy that's just a friend,
 or a supporting role.

Here are some of my art journal pages.

Rudderless is my fave song by
The Lemonheads.



I get happy when my guy sings it.
He makes me laugh.

holy sand, batman!

I spent most of the day, in my car, road tripping.

My purse I hand painted, ions ago

My shoes

My guy's shoes

This is where I spent my evening.

My guy stretching on the beach.

My guy preparing for his run.

I like taking photos of strangers.

Guess me from behind. 
That would be the chick writing this gibberish.

I don't have a photo of how our car got stuck in the sand. Three or four possibly intoxicated guys,
 tried to push it out. They gave up.

Then 20 minutes of my guy trying to dig our car out of the sand, one young guy and a very nice young lady, (mostly the lady), pushed our car out all the way.

I tried to help, but my shoe got stuck in the sand, as we started running.  They didn't have that problem, because they were barefoot. I ended up taking off my shoes too.

Let's just say our car is covered in sand,
 inside and out.

I guess they feel the need to show the Texas state shape everywhere, including the rest stops.

If I had a Summer/vacation home,
I would want it to be...
