Once upon a yesterday.

Up to Santa Barbara I go.

I meet up with Bo, who made these sweet earrings.

We drive to Tommy's house to meet up with Demi, Tommy and Anthony.

And Marissa soon joined in.

unplanned magic.

 Bo took photos directly above and below, Demi painted a picture.

Demi. Messy little fingers.

Catch My Dreams

Dream Catcher 

 I made about half a year ago

 from a bubble blower I found at Coachella,

 painted it black and wrapped it all up with string and such, 

painted plastic beads and feathers I found

Dream Catcher I finished a week or so ago for my friend Lauren Emily. 

It was supposed to be a present for Christmas, but I lagged about a month...

 Made with wire, string, a few little plastic beads, wired on sea glass, 

buttons, a single rock, 

and feathers from a fake chicken I bought at the thrift store.

Jewelry made from wire, 

seaglass, and 

beads&&charms and such.

Homemade granola... 

I make too much of it... 

soo good.

Heart rocks

I strung

and wired up

currently hanging

over

my

bed.

30 minutes, 39 lines deep.

I find myself in a tangled web
that someone spun from broken threads
And seamlessly they fell apart
and wrapped together in the dark
for in the light I sure can see
the space between the threads in me
the space that lies between the lines
they made with broken little ties
but must i not be defined
by what you see and others find
in minds that catch in tangled webs
made with fabrications thread
I am not what they say they hear
I'm what you feel when truth is near
I am the truth that shines the light
through the strings that bring the night
And may the night fall on us all
And may the web catch those who fall
But know that broken strings fall through
And truth will always be what's true
And what a web they spin with lies
And what a life they live with ties
that break at every end that meets
with every other end that greets
another lie that soon retreats
back to a shadowed web of cries
for no light shines on falsity
and sunlight shines with majesty
so why should rays of light be kind
to darkness with no thoughts divine
and where goes all the wasted time
of countless tries to realign
a faceless web of broken rhymes
that limbo within falsity
I choose not that the face of these
these withered little vacant needs
for I, the light that shines in me
knows but three words
I AM FREE.

Love Rocks and Such Things

There was a time when you captivated my heart

Where the trees were ripe for us, and the air was warm and still

You held me in a place where I couldn't see, but I could feel.

And for a while, it felt okay, I was still alive, and that was what mattered most.

My feelings were strong, but there was always something telling me to look beyond this infatuation

It was something I thought was love, but there was something wrong.

And when my mask came off, I saw the man behind the curtain, and I realized that this fairytale was a mere fabrication

It was a falsified version of our lives

Things were well and nice on the outside,

But on the inside burned brilliant the flames of disfunction

I fell for a lie, and I fell hard

and when I tried to get up on my own

the puppeteer pulled my strings till I was weary and weak

And I realized quick that there is not a life so bleak

than a life that is lived by a lie

So I crossed my fingers and tapped my heals thrice

And I came to realize that my life was so nice

When my mind was not captivated by your lies

heart rocks from a single hike

Hawaii Moodies

A few black and whites from the past couple of days. 

Hawaii Part Uno, Day Dos.

Dear God. So nice to make the transition from snow jackets in Cali to near nakedness on the beach. The waves weren't all the best yesterday, so we resorted to being girls, and taking pictures in our new bikinis. You can call us losers.. but I think we're winners.
