Is it me or is the end of the year sneaking up awfully fast? Also, that means I have a lot of work to do in not so much time. Tech is this weekend...which shouldn't be stressing me out but it is.
About two minutes ago I finally saw the sun come out today, other than that it has been a dull and dreary day in Iowa.
So this weekend was fun, it was actually really nice for our yearly ritual of getting drenched in paint. My cousin appeared in the middle of this and we proceeded to have a great weekend consisting of, but not limited to: Olive Garden, hookah, Slumdog, brunch, chicago cubs (they won-woot), Jethros, Sunshine Cleaning (it's good-go see it!), partying (...a lot), and Paul Reveres. I think we packed the weekend as full as possible-it was sweet.

Minnesota Easter
Our holidays have become a marathon of video games. I have not yet decided if this is awful or amazing. One thing's for sure it is entertaining watching grown men throw out their shoulders playing wii baseball.
So yes, I went home this weekend. Was glad to find not much has changed, managed to get photo time, MOA, carbones, and tea garden, so I was pleased. Ha also, Amy and I went to CDH to do some crew work...because we are dorks. But Carl our TD was there so it was fun. I only knew about half of the kids this time. Last spring I knew all of them. Sad.
Anyway I should finish packing, since we are leaving at 8...and it is now 7:32. See ya back in Iowa...:(

a snowy april day in iowa
someone tell me please...why the hell is it snowing?! it is almost an entire week into april. you know...spring? And what is it doing? snowing freaking sideways.
the best part of this is I received a card from my grandma at home in St. Paul (...you know in Minnesota where it should be colder than here) which said, "winter is finally over and i made it through! it gets so depressing!"
I am excited to go home for easter on friday-I haven't been home since Christmas Break and after this I may only be back for a day or so before leaving for Massachusetts for the entire summer.
This summer...which by the way I am very excited and nervous for. Got the job at Jacob's Pillow Dance in Becket, MA. http://www.jacobspillow.org/ check it out
Excited because of all the fun and work I am going to do. Nervous because well..., it's new. I hope I don't miss everyone from Drake and home too much. I'm assuming I'll be busy so that will help. I'm also not going to be back until after the 3rd of September=long summer.
writing for the day...
And it trickles in and out,
that overwhelming twinge of guilt.
Shame is the new doubt
and people like to watch the monkey in the cage.
Easy to find a balance,
but hard to maintain.
Always chancing and waiting
for that nauseating day when it all hits.
The flowers gone and wondering.
So now the longing takes an ungraceful toll
as it twists the knots tighter.
Stronger the moves become,
because out of control is the only control,
the only permanent fixture
known to you and only you
it digs itself deeper and maintains the draw.
It pulls and tugs the scratchy blankets down,
beyond your arms’ reach.

our digital photo class
today I witnessed a group of usually pretty reserved people transform in front of my eyes.
Our digital photography class took turns modeling and taking pictures of one another today for about 3 hours. It was strange, but a great bonding experience for us. I have a feeling our next class will be much more lively as a result.
Also...slightly addicted to twitter now. GAH!

So it begins.
Wouldn’t you?
In asking, sort of implying.
The hypnotic stare the lamppost gave
swaying like forlorn branches
cool breezes sent those shivers
sharp, then lulling to ease away the pain.
That dull numbness you defend
Drifting wile gazing, floating among those,
And wouldn’t you?
The pounding is not too hard to ignore
With proper distractions
The afternoon sky, soft humming from your chest
Constant rumbling allows sleep to find me.
A mesh covers eluding faces,
a desperate cling escapes the branches
Maple and oak shedding
Wouldn’t you?
Pick it up, pick them up
Where we stand tries melting away
Swung back into place
Still not realizing
About the dull thudding
It has happened
And that lamplight escapes, the beam into the dark
All those words, thing that were meant to
Keep us safe
Being left out is old
A current necessity is depleted and turning to
Gone.
Not apparent. So wouldn’t you?
