penny for your thoughts.

i dont really have any grand theories to present right now, but there are a few mosquitos buzzing around my brain. here they are:
-i am in the process of tie-dyeing 83 pieces of recycled tshirt fabric to sew into a dress based off of the enterprise uniform, so right now our bathtub is full of yellow and purple dye. my brother asked my mother why he couldn't have a bath? and my mother said "because your sister is an artist." this made me very happy and proud.
-that last post was not fictional. i really am clowning.
-on the way home from school, i heard divine smooth jazz music coming from somewhere. at first i thought it was coming straight from heaven itself, but then i realized that it was floating up through the subway grates. i stood to listen for ten solid minutes, then went into the station just to pay the man. he wasn't at all like i pictured; white and slightly chubby, with a hipster goatee. on the way home, i sang joni mitchell's *for free*.
-people say that you can never be too careful, but you can. you really can.
-the idea of advice makes no sense. the only person's advice you should follow is your own, and this should be based on your experience, and in order to have that experience, you must not follow advice.
-this saturday, i went to a magical place in a great big wood. i live in a hustleconcretesteelwreckingball city of secrets and cloudy thursdays, and right in the middle, there is a forrest. not a park, not manmade at all, but an honest-to-goodness forrest made by nature herself. i hiked through it at night, and found the wizard in glasses. he was an astronomer with a huge telescope and people around him, and he showed me saturn and the twins and the moon. the moon looked just like a piece of soft clay that had been rained on. when i left, we all sang folk/campfire songs on the way back, and i remembered the original purpose of music.


none of this is metaphorical. its all true.
