I love this.

Better than justice.

See?
I TOLD YOU Chris draws me prettier than I am.
He is the best boyfriend a girl could ask for.

dove evolution and how I hate myself a little less

I had to edit a movie of myself on Saturday, and yes it turned out beautiful. Jess was an incredible videographer (I post this soon, I promise). BUT as I was sorting through all the raw footage, I was left feeling preeeeetty ugly. We had rented a macro lens, so every minute detail was larger than life. Very pretty at times.... BUT mostly kinda gross. Hairs and toe nails and fat is a billion times more hairy, toe nail-y, and fatty. I was trying to stay sane about it, telling myself that "NO ONE IS PERFECT" and "EVERYONE LOOKS DISGUSTING UNDER A MICROSCOPE", but needless to say, it was hard.

Watching this Dove commercial on beauty image helped kick me back into a more healthy self-esteem. Thanks be for You-Tube advertising. It kicked me where I needed to be kicked.

This is my response to you being a ship in the sea.

You and I are in the middle of everything.

Everyone else is just part of a supporting cast.

Doesn't everyone feel this way?

They should.

Everyone should feel this singular.

Never Mind.

I saw this.

It made me teary-eyed enough to make me sleepy.

Maybe sleepy enough to sleep.

Who knows?

I can't sleep.

I'm falling down rabbit holes and wearing clocks like feathers.

Lunchtime at the Apollo

I am currently eating a homemade cinnamon roll, licking the frosting off the back of my hands and thumb and rolling the soft sticky bread over my tongue until I get bored and swallow. Eating sloppy, for me, this only happens when I feel comfortable, like a little kid at the lunch table, making monsters out of sandwiches and trading apple slices for chocolate milk.
