painting the streets

Yeah. I'm taking a Writer's Craft course. We write poems and stuff. It's new. It's good. It's fun. I hope you enjoy. This is a little daunting.

I hope the weather is fabulous wherever you are. I hope you're wearing bright colours. Or something that makes you stand out. Or, you know, something different. I hope you're breathing in the fresh air. I hope you're making things with your bare hands. I hope you're smiling a lot. To strangers. And old folks. Don't forget about either.

Basically, I hope you're happy!!!!!!!!! Can we just be obnoxious and not worry about perfect punctuation and looking cool and send out some virtual luvin' and some "YEAH JUST BE HAPPYYYYY :) :D!!!!!!!!!" for once?!

Or, you know, ahem. Resume nonchalance.

Describe your perfect world. Or maybe even just the last time you smiled?
P.S. I'm home from Washington. 'Twas a blast. Outfit post soon. Replyin' to comments soon.

Hm, my perfect world? A place of bright colors, like something out of a Dr.Seuss book with yummy food and carnivals every weekend. And of course a closet full of my designs come to life. Your illustration and poem are beautiful, they really made me think about why i like pretty things! Thanks for another great post!

Thank you for writing such sweet things on myblog, I'm so happy we've found each other

your blog is so sweet and this post is wonderful

my perfect world would be simple

a place where I can play with my sisters
covered in pastel colors
and no people to make me sad

Last time I smiled? I watched Jane Eyre tonight with a few friends and one of the people in the theatre openly mocked one of the characters after they said something insufferable. I diiieddd.

Your illustration is mad gorgeous, and so is your prose!!! ♥♥

I am so in awe!! :)

I love this:

"I want to paint the streets with color,
It'd make things more carefree.
Inspiring people to sing,
To dance,
And not take the world too seriously."
