santa pants the wonder dog

A little hippie love is always a positive experience. Santa and I have spent a lot of time together this week going for walks.

clicking anyway

Yesterday was a little bit rough but today was much better. Last night I had some quality introvert time in the midst of an underage drinking party in my apartment (looks like one will be happening again tonight) and then I went out to Lindo Michoacan with Stacie real late and we had quite a great time. Can we talk about amazing food for real cheap? I’m definitely becoming a regular. We have come to the conclusion that we have vastly different lifestyles, but we click anyway. That was a nice thing to have said out loud, to find someone who you could potentially be enemies with because everything about you is at odds, but we can be friends instead. Maybe that’s what reconciliation is all about.

Public transportation and I are getting to be really wonderful companions. Beats paying for gas. I’ve also become quite the gutsy individual about being along in Chicago, I’m walking all over the world, especially places I never would have gone before.

home on a monday night

punched numbers and rode the bus today. then hung out with some whiny children (that i love dearly) then rode the bus back.
buy the $75 cta 30-day pass.... sooooo worth it.

i feel like i'm really in it. i'm not sure what it is. i'm adjusting and i'm waiting. adjusting to my new home, my new lifestyle, and adjusting to those in my new home with a very different lifestyle than my own. i'm remembering how to be an artist without assignments. i'm trying to take quality time for myself. it's funny how moving 2 blocks away leaves me in an entirely different world.

god is so good and so constant.

I can't ignore this in a blog.

Pansy Baldessari

My Last final was today. Yipeee!!!!!

Moving tomorrow into the new apartment. I've never lived with a guy before and I've never lived with lesbians before. It will be a new experience in many aspects, but I think it will be good.

I went out on Friday night for Tiffany's 21st birthday. Oh the bar scene, you are not that interesting or fun to me. Plus I am poor and I cannot afford drinks.

This morning I had a clothing swap with some girls. hoorah for free new wardrobe and recycling!

Graduation is tomorrow/ saturday. I'm going to watch Anders graduate. I'm trying not to feel left behind... but it's still sad.

I brought home a baby bird that was abandoned at Bethel. He was so adorable and naked and bald. I named him Pansy Baldessari and fed him mushed up bits of ham off my fingers. He was so chirpy and cute. Then he died. gross. R.I.P. Baldessari.
