a teensy bit drunk

So I'm a little bit drunk
drunk in the library
on msn
waiting to sober up
I've got to go work
with power tools
work on my rock
I mean italian marble
that should have cost me some bucks
but I got it for free
from a man who is nice
and he gave me a panflit
for a show with transvestites
doing preformance art
the day after he bent down
to take a blue flower
that I had folded
and pined it to his shirt.

I'm talking to a guy
A man I'll see in december
for food and drink and presents too.
I'm researching something
something new
happening soon
about the end of the world.
I just want to learn
won't get my licence
to operate
a moter vehicle
I'm gonna sing
maybe dance
I've got to do it
do it soon
fix my guitar
I stepped on it
because my life
is kind of a mess.
But not as bad
as the year past.

I've been sober, realitively
and way better at doing laundry
I've got some cash
for posing nude
In front of boys
and girls too.

I went to a house the other day
to drink wine
and get flirted with
not in a way with opposite ends
but by an artist
to a friend.
about the paint
and composition
about the way
I am myself
I find it hard
to see all this
but I love the way
it's said outloud.

This poem it could go forever,
as I am still quite buzzed it seems
but if I go down to the sculpture studio
I've got to make sure
not to loose any limbs.

Hi hi hi.

I'd like some help or feedback with what I can do in the school for a transgendered day of rememberance. I was thinking I could make a whole bunch of paper flowers (what color... purple? ) and hand them out to people who want to support and acknolege the assimilation and volence and the transgendered day of rememberance. I could have info about violence and prejudice against transgendered individuals and community at a table I could set up. I should give examples. I could give have info visible about maybe where to go who to talk to if you feel quite trans. Internet I guess but maybe there is somewhere tangible here too. I have no class except painting 8.30-11.20 so I could be in the x-roads almost all day. Someone might be able to sit at the table in the morning. I could skip class. I think the flower would have the trans symbol - arrow/cross/circle thing perhaps on one of the pedals. I think I'll paint up a rainbow flag too I want to be in front of. On the back of the flower it could say transgendered day of rememberance. Is this an overall good idea? It would be really nice to have an actual event, maybe a few speakers about the issue. Cornerbrook is a small town in a few different ways but I can't imagine there are no trans people... although It's kind of short notice to ask people to put together a little public presentation, as it's in 4 days. I think more people will become aware through the flowers than if we have an event that nobody goes to, nobody seems to have time to come out to our queer things- everyone at school is on auto pilot but I try to deny that I am aswell!

Tell me what you think,
and lemmie know if you have any ideas please,

So I'm at school, and I'm at school a lot. Drawing class was cancelled today because the principal died a few days ago.We were supposed to draw a naked lady again but that will have to wait. I want to apply for modelling again but I have to wait untill my brusises fade but they've been there for weeks. Those will tell a pretty good story. Maybe I'll just go in with the brusises. I want to be immortalized in clay. Cornerbrook water is bad for my skin. Today I stepped in a pallate with green paint and there are footprints in the painting studio and green marks under my feet in the library. I did my best to get it off.
I'm in a strange mood. A sad mood. I just finished reading an article about Susanna and The Elders and a painter Artemisia who painted the scene. She was also raped by two men. I was reading it, it makes me feel sick to my stomac. So so sick. I want to go home but I've got class in two hours. After that I've got to paint a cow so I hope the grass is dry.

Well other than that I'm not sure what to say.

I hope all is well.

Oh, yeah. And it hailed today.

Love.
I am so greatfull
for being so loved
and for having so many friends.
Still haven't figured out what makes me so damn loveable though.
I opologise for those of you who I've hurt
or at least made felt unwanted by me.
you certanly don't deserve it.

so if the world ends (http://www.lhcountdown.com/ )
or if I win the lottery (49 million)

I hope that you can take comfort in knowing that it's not just your body that's turning to dust, it's everybodies.
And I promiced that I'd spend all the money on drilling wells and planting crops in the world's poorest nations, and if you need some money I suppose you could state your case- but other than that it's all food and water to me.

The Winter Will End

  • Feb. 17th, 2008 at 8:59 PM

 Your warm toes touch the cool grass and it tickels your feet underneath.
The wind is from the south and fixes your hair all round.
The smell of the greens is almost intoxicating.
I feel complete like I might die tonight.
In the sky we feel content.
(The winter will
end.)

Annnnnnd Watching the Apples Grow

  • Feb. 15th, 2008 at 10:43 PM

I had a magnificant plan to pick apples in the Valley all summer but it fell through because
a. It is only in August when we get to pick apples and
b. I, (according to the majority of our capitalist society...? ) would not get paid enough.

So... I need to work something out. Getting more people skillz maybe? Eliminating my fear of children? Art Internship? I would like to do a lot of intensive physical labour so I have time to work out my body and time to work out things in my mind at the same time. That's why apple picking was so appealing. All this time to just think.

But maybe I don't need more time to think. I think all fucking day. I think about this and about that but mostly it doesn't even make a difference. I think what I need is action. Active Action. Maybe my problem is all theory and no action. Maybe I am built like an all action no theory? Les always wants me to have big canvasses because he says the gestures make my painting. I am building on over the break 5 feet long. Yes. I think I need to stop thinking so much.

Yet this new way of thinking... or.... not thinking will surely not land me an alright paying job to pay for my tuition next year. I'd rather not live in Tantallon. I'd like to plant trees all summer.

I just filled out a tree-planting application. w00-hoo.

I'm trying to write an essay about Nightmares
And Paul Peel
And finish my skyscraper box
And I need to redo my Full Tilt project
and not fail anything
and I've got this thing between my hips thats been hurting for days and I don't even need it. 

But I guess all of that doesn't really matter

On the long weekend I went to St. Johns and it made me miss Halifax so much. Built on a hill, raw sewage in the harbour, that's my kinda town. I will live there for at least a year sometime in the future and share a studio will Jill. I should apply for an internship this summer. I can't live in the middle of nowhere with no busses and no skyscrapers and no art jobs.

The thing about living here is not having friends around that I've known for years. The sucurity of knowing that you've been together as friends for so long is something special and will effect me for sure. I want to move from place to place. I get bored. But theres nothing like an old friend.

Ryan I needs yo' snuggles.

I have a brand new little red guitar!
I went trick-o-treating for the first time in years last night! 
I dressed as Jane Lane for school and nobody knew who I was. Gerald was Daria!
Then I went out for free candy at the last  minute as a skeleton and painted my face and stuck leaves in my dreads!

 It's two pm and I don't want to get out of bed. I did go to bed at 6am though so I guess that I am justified in getting up after lunch.
Ever have one of those days though were you just don't want to get out of bed? I need to go borrow my neighbours sewing machine.
I think that it might be thanksgiving but I'm not sure. And I'm a cunt and can't remember when Gerald gets off work because I am baaaaad.
I have some veggies though to make. I wonder if I am suffering from Malnutrition? Oh wow I don't have to go to class till wednesday. That's wicked. Gerald has to work all long weekend :( except for tuesday and we're going to the Salvation army for Glorious Cheap Pants.

 Life is good.
I have got a wicked Lovely named Gerald and lots of groovy friends and fun roommates.
The other night I was trying to clean and decorate and then I got distracted with painting triangles and stayed up all night painting with some roomates. I slept after class. Haha and party during Les' boring slide lecture that took like an hour and a half. Haha. Last night I had a wineglass full of champagne and someone made me a rockstar at a party. It was purple! Oh and also smoked too many doobies.
I am finally passing in my modelling application monday. I aquired the bollocks. I find that the only people who end up applying are people with like "ideal" body types. Variety in drawing/painting/sculpting the human figure for VA students I think is good, as it kind of gets boring when the models' shapes are pretty similar.
I need to get my textbooks and start doing my homework. I got my art supplies though. I want to do some stuff on my own. And also make a set of 3 big bowls with the schools pottery wheel. 

*drools* there is so much stuff to do here...

ps) there is a communist village like 30 mins outside of Corner Brook and I want to apply to live there some time. I think that the shortest I can stay is a year though. I am definatly coming back there sometime after I graduate. I want to spend a year here and there thoughout the contenents. Wandering starving artists. Too bad about borders.

Art School

  • Sep. 5th, 2007 at 3:01 AM

Alright, so it's approximately 3:02am Newfoundland time. I have class at 8:30. But I needed some bonding time with the roommates. So far we have docorated the living room, moved the dining stuff, and me and Warren decided to burn a purse that had nail polish remover all over it. It was pretty. I did photo documentation. Ryan, I am sure you will appreciate. (I miss burning things with you.) So I figure I am writing this for about five people to read. Alright. Here's my turn to try and be entertaining. Or just essentric enough to keep you reading. Uh... I don't know, I don't really use Livejournal so much for communication. It's just like little messages to myself. Like if I captured time and looked back on it to see my life in cartoon motion. One panel to the next, sometimes not updating for weeks but then you get the new edition.
I am smoking far too much pot so far this year. Don't let me keep doing that please. I like it too much, but I guess this is the time to do it, because we haven't gotten any assignments. Except to buy like 300 fucking dollars worth of paint! Hahah, Jesus. I think I would be more likely to capitalize Jesus' name instead of god's because I like Jesus better. Yeah, I need to get that paint for Friday and I need to call my mom because I'd like to talk to her, she's a nice lady. Alright. I should sign out for now, uh... unfortunatly I am without an ethernet cord at the moment, and shall purchase one tomorrow. And then make sure the internet doesn't take over my life. I just have to remember that real life is more fun to me than internet life.

Alright, over and out.

ps)What's up with you guys? How are things? How're the kids? How's the lovin'?

This is real. This is a copy. This is real. This is a copy. This is real. This is a copy. This is a real copy.
I understand teenage angst and wonder how "adults" ignore it.
I've decided what I want to do and I want to get people off.

... )

It's harder than that and sometimes it feels like you're wandering around in the dark feeling around for a wall and you finally find one and you're walking along it for awile before you get distracted or trip and you need to feel around in the dark fumbling around so you can find yourself again. You've got to hang onto that thought.

Sometimes when I'm taking the metro transit downtown and I look out the window and things look foreign to me I fight the urge to put the thin yellow wire and walk off the bus into the unknown.

Sometimes when I'm feel like I want to just stop existing for awile all I want to do is breathe smoke into my lungs because it feels so good in there.

Sometimes when I'm up all alone on a wednesday night I get criptic and angsty and write in my livejournal.

SQUEEZE THOSE BUNS!

Fack. The TV is full of infomertials that keep telling me I have to loose "that cottege cheese look" WTF is that? And it's not that they are targeting people who are have health problems because of their weight "issues", (and apparently that is supposed to be bullshit anyway.) They have before pictures of women with a little bit of a tummy and after pictures of them like all oiled and shiny and flexed and arrrgh. i LIKE bellies! Fuck it's completly rediculous. Lets use propaghanda in our advertising! Everybody! It happens all the time anyway. "Get the slim, sculpted body you've always wanted!" And they seem to know what everybody wants!!! I don't want a six pack! I don't want to look like a model! Admitted it would  be cool if I was maybe a bit healthier (and I want to start swimming again if the school has fixed the pool... but that is something I acctually enjoy doing). It's just these fucking standards of beauty that try to get inside people's heads and sometimes they try to discusise it as health. It's so frusturating because sometimes I feel so swayed by it. Is that why I want to start working out? Of what I am "supposed" to be ashamed of or want to get rid of or look like.
Ever since Jr. High I have been friends with this guy named Neil, and we were really close and we'd always hang out and if I'd just be lying down he'd just come over and ly down with me and put his head on my belly. We still do this like 5 years later.
He always said I was the comfiest. Out of EVERYBODY! I really feel like I can't give that up.
The other night I had shirtless tea time at 5AM with Cat while the sun was rising in the distance behind the smoke stacks. Before we had been talking about social constructions and how we both hate wearing clothes and how we would totally be into finding other roommates whose clothes wouldn't stick to them on the 5th floor apartment building because they just wouldnt be wearing any. How people get weirded out by nudity. All the while fully clothed. I pointed this out and soon I was just sittin' around in my boxers. I did that all the next day too. Hmm.
That's something that I find really restricting too. Clothes are just a silly idea sometimes. Living at home is not helping with how I feel, and it also makes me feel like I'm doing something wrong. Like if my mom comes home and I am out reading shirtless on the backdeck and I don't hear her come in the house what is she gonna do? Like yell at me?
I can't wait to cut my hair really short and let it grow again. I fell asleep on Cat's lap and he started to undo my messy thing- like-dreads, and he only got about one done before I woke up dazed and confused. He said he used to do it to his cat all the time. I don't really like the way my hair is now, but I want to wait till I get back to Grenfell to get rid of it all. I don't know why I want to wait a month, but I am.  Hair is souch a weird thing, too. Me and Gerald and Cat were up talking about hair, too. I am going to make a project about my hair sometime just to see what it's been through. I kind of miss having long hair. My dreads have started to kind of get fucked up and shorter and it's mostly just in the back /one side and annoying and I can't wait to see what I look like with short hair. I haven't had short hair since I was a kid.
I bet I will feel like it alters my entire appearance. I will look so butch. Hair and personality end up going together. If you are in a private school with uniforms I wonder if they have hair restrictons? That would really suck.  I really need to get a binder of some sort. I hate shopping.

I can't sleep but if I am on this computer for any more time whether I am looking at hot folks on the internet or reading about what I type I think I may self-distruct. 


...I love showing my hairy legs in public. 



... I should go read a book or something...

Camp.

You know that summer camp that I was talking about awile back? Well I definatly chickened out and stayed at the khyber. But I guess the Khyber didn't get a grant that woulda payed me to stay, so I'm not going to be working like regular hours anymore.
I checked my e-mail the night they told me that and my friend whos at the camp now said that the camp really needs another female councellor... I have a phone interview in like an hour for the job. I'm gonna try and go, and this summer I'm gonna grow me some serious balls.
So If I get the job, thats great. But I've made some plans already to help with pride stuff and I have have have to get the 21st off so I can do the pirate drag show. I know what I am wearing already. I even painted my pirate pants to look all muddy today.  I also said that I would help out at the khybers events that week, but I am... well... replaceable.
If I get the job I could be leaving as soon as tomorrow morning as my mom is driving to the valley to get my brother anyway.  If I am going I'm gonna try and make queer art alll night for the show at The Khyber/ Kite's thang that I can leave with Gerald to bring downtown fo' me.
Ryan I know we were supposed to make our browines next weekend but we'll just have to do it when I come home in like 3 weeks.
I mean... if I end up getting the job.

Gaaaah!

Family

Grand-mère: So, who's the new boyfriend?
Me: *Pause* I Don't have a boyfriend.
Me: I've got a girlfriend though.
Grand-mère: A girlfriend? Well I'd rather you have a boyfriend.
Me: Well I don't.

And that was that.
Mind you, I didn't tell her what I needed my costume stuff for, but have been to Frenchy's down here and have started to put together a pirate personality with a soul patch. I mentioned this to my cousin, we also talked about self-sustanibility and fucking the economy and living out of a bookbag! She's sooper. She knows about Gerald, which makes me happy.
I was also talking to my other girl-cousin who is six about how church is boring and then we started to make up our own languege and talk about The Philosophy of Being and Knowing.

Considering we've been together for two years, it sometimes miffs me that my extended family is in the dark about Gerald. Haha! But the other day I was driving by a house around here (it's kind of maybe concervative around here) and in their backyard strung waaayy up high on the flagpole was a big fat rainbow flag. : D

My grandmother just came in to give me a white shirt because I need to rip one up for the show. She's a cool lady. I didn't mean anything bad about what I said before. I was just reporting.

My tits are too big.

Laughs at my dumb jokes when noone does...
