for some reason this is the only photo i took in the many hours of baking, gifting, chinese food-ing, hot cocoa and general christmas friendsy cheer that went on today. has this month of daily photos taught me nothing of opportunity? ..eh
(those roses are from all the boys - we baked goodies and they brought us flowers and good company. precious)

charcoal charcoal in my skin. i have a feeling i'll be in this room a lot in the next week.
(i will be snatchin' my mama's camera in a couple days so i won't be limited to a macbook camera)

hope i'm not fickle with my words...but i'm excited to participate in this! wooo DPP.

sufjan. what a stunning, beautiful (and dance-tastic) show it was!
oh man.

less than a month until i get to see sufjan stevens live! oooh life-long dream (or maybe just in the past decade or so...i've not been around for a long time, you see).
have you all heard his new EP? and a few new ones from the soon-to-be-out "Age of Adz"? oooh-so good!
taking a moment to remember that fateful day on which we (waiting on three separate computers) snatched up pre-sale tickets. so many exhausting emotions!






































alright alright, less dreaming, more paper-writing. nyoooooo....

oh lovely night!
i find myself tonight at my parents' home (not my own anymore, really, it is so weird) sitting on the back porch, listening to the ever-soulful voice and strummy guitar of Sanders Bohlke
the weather is turning to a distinctly autumn temperature - makes me oh so happy.
a good mug of earl grey and the sky slowly dimming, there is only humming of the little bugs in the grass and the soft breeze that makes sitting in cool air seem to be the best possible way for me to spend the evening.
sometimes things are just so lovely to me that it makes my stomach almost hurt - i think that is how happy can sometimes feel? tonight feels happy.
vast sky and birds that go in a row and tea and a chair that rocks back a little and music a tune that makes me feel (and miss and dream), thank you Lord

He must become greater , I must become less

i'm starting to be excited for fall.

i've got a new (cuuute) backpack, just as though i'm headed off to kindergarten! i really love it (thanks, padres) and am excited to give it a go with a bunch of books and ambition.

listenin to: "winter winds" mumford & sons

another before-after

holla.

chopchop

last night i cut my bangs on my own for the first time ever! it's quite the feeling, sort of great and scary with a hint of "am i stupid for doing this?"

anyways, a few silly before, during, and after photos for you. the result's not bad! i like da bangs i think (: yay
