in which i tell you a bunch of things about my life.

the five dollar movie bin at walmart?  it's the greatest thing ever...until you find three movies.  then you're already up to 15 dollars.
but i think when those movies are moulin rouge, hook, and august rush, it's worth it.
i'd go back to a year ago today if i could.
i'm reading to kill a mockingbird again.  i will read it a hundred times and not be done with it.  did i mention that it's my favorite book of all time?

it's almost finals.

male sibling is too old.  happy birthday, dear.

this album is my art music.  every time.  speaking of art... someone made one of my paintings into a christmas ornament.  how cool is that?  personally, i think it's a bit morbid to put on a christmas tree.  but it's still amazing.

also on the subject of art...

i can never ever make a silly t-shirt.  everyone else ends up with delightfully lame paint splatters and things and i end up with adorable penguin in the snow t-shirt.  my life is hard.

if nothing else, believe in art

in my painting class we had an assignment to paint a landscape.

after two-ish days of painting, i decided i'd do a project and take a picture of my progress each day.

so here it is.  my landscape from (almost) beginning to end.

i learned a lot.
like how to paint a sky.
and that comments about bob ross will always be humorous.
i'm pretty sure at least one person in class said "happy little trees" every day.

(because i love art.)

(and also this post needed a title)

happy november

song of the month
because i'm very clever.

my month thus far:

excellent new penguin socks.

painting while trying to write a blog post.

and thinking about last year.

because my university is most likely going to tear down my old dorm building in the very near future.

all the students currently living there have until sunday to move out.

my friends are homeless.

C2 won't exist anymore.  the place that holds so many of my memories won't exist anymore.

dear friends, i hope all works out for you, and that you find places to live.

love, jane.

the boys that date the girls that live in this house are choice.

from: roommate kate's boyfriend.

to: roommate gracie

from: gracie's boyfriend.

our apartment is all full of flowers!

as for my boyfriend, he didn't buy me flowers, but...

we dance in the kitchen to beatles records and take naps on sunday afternoons.  so it's okay.

go to an awesome university like mine.

i saw this when i left class this morning.  it is most excellent.

francis winnifred.

this should be my name.  i'm completely serious.
i could actually have a nickname.  i would go by france.  or fred.
plus someday when i'm an old lady, i'd have an excellent old lady name.

my dear new followers.
i think that we should be blogging friends.
so leave a comment and tell me what makes you happy.

secretly...

i like that our toaster is broken, and that we make toast in the oven.

i name my blankets.  i do it so can can say that i cuddle with thor, mr. rochester, and neil patrick harris.
random thought: i haven't named one after johnny depp yet.  that's odd.

i love my new real shoes.

i put the "ministry of magic entrance" sign above our toilet.

i adore being called flower.

and to finish, i think we all ought to remember this:

life rocks.

have a lovely day.
