I adore painting….. Makes me feel free and trapped all at the same time
I Love red lipstick just because it leaves marks when I give kisses
I love to open fortune cookies until I get the right one
I love oils spills on the road for their tainted beauty
And I love to look at the clouds
I love fancy crinoline dresses, sparkles and make up but am just as happy sitting in paint covered undershirts
I love my old beat up bike with the bell and the wind going up my back when I am on it
I love sad stories … sad songs and sad friends
I love books piled by my bed and tables and finding the perfect lines that make me ache….makes me feel alive
I love to curse like a sailor but try really hard not to… I lasted 5 months one year with no cursing (my personal best)
I love to bite my nails
I love weeping willow trees
I love old houses
I love secrets
I love to kiss my paintings so they know I always loved them first
I have music on all the time…and there are some songs I could not live without
I dance foolishly everyday
I never watch horror movies (I have enough of that in my head) and yell at movies with bad endings when they are over (had enough of bad endings too)
I drink more tea than my body weight every day…And I often get distracted when I paint washing my brushes out in it (yes I drink it anyway acrylic taste better than oil paint I found out)
Strangers often tell me their secrets …I don’t know why
Things are not always easy but I love who I am …love who I love and I still believe anything is possible…I still believe in magic
I am a closet religious freak but never go to church unless it is really beautiful to look at and I accept whatever people choose to believe or not …I do not believe it is ever man’s job to judge on matter of the heart…..
I thought it would have been cool to be a nun ....until I discovered something even better;)
I am too sarcastic…..and have a demented sense of humour
I daydream all the time and dream way too big
My hair is as out of control as I am most of the time
I am both very shy and very outgoing depending on the day…depending on the person
I Love the scent of paint and the chemicals…and the people I love
One of my body parts usually has paint, pastel, ink or some colour more vibrant than my skin…and I can never get my nails clean
I apologize to my paintings for creating them the way they are unless they are happy then I am so jealous and envious of them
I love the people I love not because they are saints (oh because they are notLOL!!!) but because they understand me and nerver judge…and do stupid things to cheer me up when the day gets too heavy
I will defend those I love even if they are wrong
But if I hate you watch out.
I am short but most days I walk as if I am 10 feet tall
I stopped classifying myself and indulging in I should have been …I could have been…I would have been if it weren’t for this ….moments of the past
Now I simply live as who I am in …I can… I will …moments of now …moments of living.
