little darlin'

I found a little plot of land

in the garden of Eden

it was dirt and dirt is all the same

I tilled it with my two hands

and I called it my very own

There was no one to dispute my claim

Well, you'd be shocked at the state of things

The whole place had just cleared right out

It was hotter than hell, so I lay me by a spring

For a spell as naked as a trout

The wandering eye that I have caught

Is as hot as a wandering sun

But I will want for nothing more, in the garden

To start again

In the hardening of every new heart but one

Meet me in the garden of Eden,

Bring a friend, we are going to have a time

We have are going to have a garden party,

It's on me, no sir-e, it's my dime

We broke out hearts in the war between

St. George and the dragon

But both in equal parts are welcome to come along

To come along, I'm inviting everyone

Farewell, to loves that i have known

Even muddiest as waters run

Tell me what is meant by sitting alone in a garden,

Seceded from the Union in the year of '81?

The unending amends you made

Are enough for one life, be done

I believe in innocence, little darling, start again

I believe in everyone

I believe, regardless, I believe in everyone

~joanna newsom, '81

love you, mean it.

pretty writing and school things

Just to keep myself entertained this semester: 

All pretty things we can afford once we are OUT of school... funny how that works.

24 year anniversary

I always think that its silly that we celebrate a year passing in our lives as birthdays. I know we took part in our birth, but we did not give birth to ourselves. I try to wish my parents a happy birthday and think of the day of my birth as an anniversary of my life. 24 years of experience- celebrating all that I've learned and will learn from here on. Happy anniversary to me. I have much to look forward to. 

The past week or so has looked like this: 

thanksgiving into finals prep, into birthday time, back into finals.

I'm celebrating my 24 year anniversary of life tonight by throwing a party and I'll be back to the books (or excel spreadsheets) tomorrow. Hopefully I'll get a picture of my dress- which is the reason I'm throwing a party in the first place. Its always about the dress. 

Here is a bit of a preview:

details about where and who I got this dress from to follow.

Just a note about the blog: Winter break is around the corner and Emily and I will be back on more frequent and/or daily basis after this passes. Hold tight. 

love you, mean it.
