hahahaha. yeah, and it helps having a psycho best friend.

Where did you learn how to do art? I mean, your art is amazing, but did you learn how to draw that amazing from a class or did you teach yourself?

Thu, 07 Jan 2010 06:23:26 -0500

Thank you thank you, I just blushed. I learned techniques and stuff through art classes but I’ve been spitting out art since I was little. My mom always encouraged me, handed me paint and brushes when I was like 3. It just sort of comes I guess. I’m really glad you said this because I haven’t done art in months and this is a nice little shove to get me motivated. Thanks again :)

You and Heather are one of the most interesting people on tumblr.

Thank you. And I love this because it makes it seem like Heather and I are the same person.

I used to be on Tumblr all the time. Like that Tumblr obsession that consist of you keeping your dashboard open and refreshing it when you see (1). I took a break from Tumblr and it was nice because whenever I had the urge to be indulged with inspiration I could go back as many pages as I wanted without getting caught up to the last time I was on. Well, I’m back and it sucks. It’s 4:39 a.m. and I want pictures to look through but I’ve caught up. So, I’m watching Sex and the City and making myself cheese ravioli to keep from dying from boredom. I would read or do art but this house isn’t currently enabling.

love him.

I feel like sobbing a bucket of tears but i think i’m all of out of fluids. Someone drank all of the apple juice, my mother doesn’t understand what multiple sclerosis does to me and my dad might lose his job tomorrow. I can’t even sift baking powder. Nor make butterfly bodies out of tootsie rolls. Helpless; maybe. Weak; definitely. Strong; indefinitely. Tired; always. Fingers crossed I wake up tomorrow and the sun will crack then pour its vitamins into my veins.

Tootsie roll butterflies don’t even matter.

It’s 4:43 p.m. Christmas day. I was just looking at Heather’s tumblr and wishing we’d learn how to do fishbraids together, that one of the friendship bracelets was made for me, that we still talked. Last night I was talking about Heather to Zac. I asked him if he noticed how I don’t cry anymore, if he noticed that since I’ve convinced myself I “don’t like Heather” how much better I’ve been. I haven’t cried about her in weeks, I’ve been doing wonderful. And then I was leaving the pediatrics center of the hospital and half way to my car my eyes watered up. I saw somebody the other day that I went to high school with, someone I haven’t seen since graduation. When he asked me what I’ve been doing the past two years I wanted to say I’ve been watching my best friend deteriorate. Before my eyes. Halloween day 2007 I met Heather for Tomorrow and it was love at second sight. This rambunctious creative 14 year old ball of energy. Zac said him and Harry ruined Heather and I’s friendship and I tried to convince him it wasn’t them. Lack of face time is what has ruined us, which is partly due to Harry but mostly school. All Harry and Zac know of Heather and I is what they’ve seen since we’ve been going over there, which is awful. Zac said, I don’t know what you guys were like before. I said, fucking awesome. We were the best best friends. I tried explaining to him how before August we would spend endless amounts of time together not doing anything. Enjoying each others company, talking and laughing and brainstorming all day every day. I told him, I know what you guys have seen of us hasn’t been pretty but before, before we were beautiful. I let him know that despite how it seems, Heather and I’s friendship isn’t over nor on its way there. It’s just a break. This isn’t the type of friendship that fades away. We’ll shine again, all in due time. There’s no way I’m letting her out of my sight. We still have a stop motion film to make and a tree house to build and red carpets to walk arm and arm.
