these texts are an archive of my life in the San Francisco Bay Area from march 2007 - march 2015. it stands as a record of close to a decade of my life, charting the struggles i faced as an artist, daughter, and lover. messy and chaotic at times, eloquent and poetic at others, these texts are an index i am proud of. it was here in this electric box that i learned how to be honest about my experiences and the person i needed to become. it was here that i first learned the truism that words make the world and how to trust such a beautiful, rife, hard fact.

i woke up in the best mood this morning! it's always like that the day after i finish a painting. always. and i cash in on that feeling, let me tell ya! i got up, made coffee, lugged the next big ol' canvas outside, and by my third sip of hazelnut goodness i was ready to have at it. didn't even change out of my footie pajamas. i'm still in 'em! ha! and i haven't eaten anything yet either! not such a good thing but i got snagged by my mistress and just couldn't turn away. i am powerless against her. i can't tell her no. when it's a good day for painting, it's a good day for painting and that's the end of that story. time goes and goes and you just don't notice. i checked the time when my neighbor came over to see what i was working on and why the hell i was outside in my pajamas at 3 in the afternoon. "did you just wake up?" hahaha! nope. just on a roll. :)
