Dance, when you're broken open.
Dance, if you've torn the bandage off.
Dance in the middle of the fighting.
Dance in your blood.
Dance, when you're perfectly free.

Last night i had another one of those sucky Saturdays where my friends forget about me and I'm all alone at home.
i (luckily) had one of my creative "sparks" so to speak...
here's what happened.
I saw a picture of something cool. I decided to copy it.
A+ for creativity, am i right?
k but really...
decided to put some of my old Teen Vogues to use (basically i wanted to trash the bitchez)...
I mean, TeenVogue kinda sucks.
I'm pretty sure the Editors were like:
Editor #1: Hey, do you wanna make a magazine that'll make young girls feel terrible about themsevles?!
Editor #2: Yeah, that sounds like a great idea! Oh, i know, we'll make them feel bad not only about the fact that they're not anorexic like all of our models, but lets make them feel bad about how they can't afford any of the clothes in our Magazine, too!
Editor #1: Great idea! Now...do you have any thoughts on teenage drinking? I think that'd be an original first article...
You get my point, right?
Yeah so i decided to massacre those babies and heres what resulted
Pretty sweet right?
It's from this poem by Swami Kripalu:
My beloved child, break your heart no longer.
Each time you judge yourself, you break your own heart.
You stop feeding on the love, which is the wellspring of your vitality.
The time has come. Your time. To live. To celebrate,
and to see the goodness that you are…
Do not fight the dark. Just turn on the light.
Let go, and breathe into the goodness that you are.
I know, I know, i'm just all full of the good quotations and funny lines today. ;)
Then, today, still on a "creative" roll, (ha!), i decided to bake cinnamon buns.
OMG.
Honestly though... WTF was I thinking?! They're pretty freaking labor-intensive for a lazy girl like me! But, um, it's pretty cool how something as lame as that big ol' hunk o' dough up there can turn into these...
and then these
You know when bloggers are all like "AND THEN I ATE SIX OF THEM" even though you know they're really lying and just trying to make you feel good about yourself in comparison to their non-existent piggishness?
Well, um, and then I ate three of them and that ain't no hyperbole ladies and gents.
None at all.
I now know the definition of a sugar coma. Or maybe its just the reason why this post is so damn odd.
All i can say is, who cares? There are cinnamon buns in my kitchen and pretty words on my wall!
sweet!
Peace out
