hello all.

i sort of abandoned this, i guess. i've read back a bit; and blanca i am so sorry lester died :(
he was probably the most famous bunny in petaluma.

i've been doing tons and tons and TONS of school work; although i feel like i don't do enough and that there is always something left at the end of the day that i've missed. i go to art once a week, and i'm really loving it. i've been making monoprints, and i'm totally obsessed with them! i've also been working in the garden at valley oaks; right now we are building our compost piles and clearing out all the old stuff to make way for new. good for the soul, that is.

i'm about done with marine bio, which makes me so sad. i love jellyfish and blue whales and walruses. i feel really smart whenever the topic of the ocean comes up (which is more often than one would think); i love the sea! and all this oil spill nonsense is driving me crazy! i want to help clean up, but i have circumstances right now that i really cannot get down to the areas to help. so i'm just signing petitions and sending out good vibes.

i feel like good things are upon me. everyday i smile and think about england and seeing aleesa again and this new life that i'm about to begin. and Kate Bush is amazing; i listen to 'hounds of love' over and over and i cannot wait to fall in love.

sorry if you didn't want to read all that. let me know how you are and what you have been up to; even if we don't really know one another. i would love to hear.

all of my worries were so silly.

Aleesa and i have just settled in to our old routine. we've been going to Carytown, drinking sweet tea and sneaking cigarettes at 1.30AM. and watching too much BBC America, missing jolly ole' england.

we are going to visit next summer, and hopefully move back the summer after. we're talking to people about marrying us for citizenships....

it's my birthday in ten minutes.

but it all just seems so trivial. god.
