I think a lot of my past break ups and failed friendships can be boiled down to one major cause: no one gets me. Many folks bailed early on when faced with too much pink or black, or the fact that I never throw anything away if I feel that I can use it later. I like to think that I was being 'green' long before it was the cool thing to do, the fact is that I have gotten into arguments over what is trash, and was forced to dig through my own garbage to find things that got tossed! No one who is not a visual artist can understand this point, you never know what can inspire you. For me, I am drawn to strong graphic images and colors, usually really cute and meant for children! I have countless candy wrappers from all over the globe, I also love cereal boxes and lots and lots of toys...I have heard my children say to their friends "no, that toys not mine, it belongs to my mom" So true. Anyone who knows the real living, breathing me, not this cyber me, knows that I am just a grown up little kid. I don't act like a fool, but I do have more crap hanging from my cell phone than an Asian high school girl! I will never, ever, ever, ever dress my age (ever-never) Nothing gives me more pleasure than Hello Kitty. Glitter is not optional. I have found over the years that guys don't like this about me, one guy said I was going to wind up a crazy old cat lady surrounded by like, 30 years of magazines...I said "but they are really cute magazines!" he did not get it, one of those 'minimalists'. Scary. Don't even get me started on my party themes or baking extravaganzas! Besides, I thought boys were supposed to like girls who could cook, I just prefer to make desserts! All sweet, all the time...Well, I'd love to stay and chat but I need to get ready. I am going to go with my kids to a local farm/orchard and have some Fall fun here in the mountains...I need to construct the perfect "gothic lolita goes to the farm" ensemble...tootles!
