it ain't easy, but i'm trying. it's brighter outside than i remember it. the season felt ominously ambiguous as i trekked down to the drugstore for hair dye and sleeping pills. there were buds starting to peek out from the soil, but there were also dead leaves blowing out of the trees. i know i should take it as some sort of metaphor regarding the co-existence of life and death, but i don't really feel like getting into that right now. i'm sure you all understand.jacob came over on thursday and we worked on these collage-type-things, having to do with setting your priorities for the year during a certain star sign. i don't really get that part. it reminds me a lot of the life mapping tony&tina used to have us do way back in the day. essentially, we had to cut pictures out of magazines to symbolize our wishes for nine areas of our lives.
i have a lot of magazines sitting around - old, unread copies of vanity fair, nylon, paper, bust, missbehave and glamour (NOT my choice - they started sending it when jane folded). jacob brought jet, ebony and entrepreneur (supposedly for the former tenant at his apartment, but i have my suspicions). 
we worked diligently for a few hours. this ladybug appeared from nowhere and hung out on jacob's shoulder. he says that happens to him all the time. apparently, the ladies like him.
i found a lot of things that embodied the type of stuff i'd like to have in my life during the next year.
i finished mine long before jacob did but i went back later and added more $$$ emphasis.

i really want to get back into the beauty industry this year but still maintain my focus on apparel and design. i also put a big emphasis on healing - internally and externally - and i need it even more now than i did last week. dude, it's all about working. i want "work" to be the theme for my year. i want to get back to it, get a lot out of it, and be content with it. i don't know if its like a birthday wish and if i share it, it won't come true. let's hope not. i imagine it will work in whatever way i believe it will and the rules for the mechanism of the thing are totally up to me. yeah, that works.my outfit today ended up being an accidental homage to little edie. happy thoughts!
