SOPA

I just really wanted to be cool like Matt Green, Leah and Nancy. That's all.

i haven't updated in a while. i haven't really felt like writing.
i'm busy pretty much all the time, which both stinks and is good because it helps prevent panic attacks.
not tonight though. tonight, i've been panicking basically all night. for my own stupid, selfish reasons.
but i'm actually doing ok now. i'm getting ready to go to bed, to wake up and be a substitute teacher and to go to orlando to be with family for maybe 24 hours.
it is a good thing, though. and i am glad.

i opened an etsy store. finally. it had been mentioned to me a few times but i never really understood it to be a viable option until now. so i did it.
i need a logo for it. and other things to make it look purdy when i put the link up for public viewing.
i have a few thoughts on who could maybe do it. if you would like to help a sista out, let me know

i am the canvas, i'm stretched on a frame

i am in the process of being painted.
i hate the quote "you're making a masterpiece, hide the brushstrokes." how horrible is that? the brushstrokes are what makes us human. the brushstrokes are the small details that give character and meaning to the whole picture. woe to me if i spend my life trying to blend each stroke into the painting, causing me to miss the big picture.
i need a house elf to come over and clean for me. or to just stop being so lazy and do it myself. before i leave for vacation, it'll have to be done. so that's the plan. i wanted to do it before keith came. we'll see if that happens.

i love Jesus. i'm trying to make that really obvious to anyone who meets me. i rarely, if ever, use capital letters. why should they feel special? just because they start words or they're proper nouns...no, i cannot deny the other letters that joy. i was made to help kids build self-esteem. when a parent loves a child, the child thinks it's because the parent has to. when another adult loves a child, it's because that child is important. that's my mission. to show love.
