22.


i finished watching paper heart tonight. my favorite thing about movies is i'm allowed to fall in love every single time with the characters, with soundtracks, with locations. i guess that's where i get my want for romance so much? i guess that's why it has consumed my thoughts a lot lately. i wish i were more creative. this afternoon i had a strong urge to paint a portrait and then i ignored it. i like faces. i couldnt tell you why. i just do. and i dont know why i painted them so much years ago. i dont know why i can't anymore. i hope the desire hits again.

  1. i know what you mean. i get all dreamy-eyed when i watch a good movie. sometimes the movie doesn't even need be that great, just the imagery and music. it's like watching one long music video?

    paiiiiint! i know exactly how you feel, and every time i ignore that urge, i regret it. i'm trying to teach myself again to just go with the flow. besides, i miss your portraits!

  2. it really is, and when the music is just that good to match the visuals it makes me more happy. i feel like i'm being set up for failure though. like expecting that to spill over into my every day life. pretty hard to make it come true with the distance.

    i miss the portraits too.
