Is anybody out there?
I'm having one of those days where I am looking at the computer and thinking IS ANYBODY OUT THERE? Maybe it's because I am feeling particularly fried since I have had insomnia the last few nights. Or maybe it's because the brakes on my car decided to fail yesterday and I just don't have a dime to put into that lemon anymore. Or maybe it's because I have a sore throat and a show coming up on Saturday. My phone don't ring and there ain't any e-mail in my in box, except LEARN TO PLEASE HER and DIRTY WIVES.
It must be monday.
Quick! I've got to list some good things from this weekend and today before I drown in self pity:
1. Graham cracks me up every single night.
2. The sight of flowers in the garden.
3. A show coming up this Saturday.
4. I am going to see David Sedaris read on Saturday
5. Fantastic party thrown by my housemates, with open mic performances that blew my socks off. Seriously, you need to throw one of these parties. It was potluck--and the great thing about living in Santa Cruz are potlucks. New Age hippies may not get sarcasm, but they KNOW HOW TO COOK! Also, for those of you who take art very seriously (me included), it is so great to have people singing, reading, dancing in your own livingroom. Skip the middleman! Have entertainment in your own home.
6. I went to the Pride parade here yesterday (my first) and had such a blast. I loved the drag queens and the colorful amazing people that showed up. My friend Todd was a jellyfish--it RULED.
7. I read Julia Cameron's new book, and discovered what I already knew: You may go looking for an answer in someone else, but ultimately you have to do the work.
Hope you all are having a better monday. If not, get thee to your lists!

I just have to say... you are awesome! Ever since Keri Smith mentioned you on her website, I've been visiting your blog frequently... I feel like if you lived around the corner, we'd be friends.
Anyway... I'm not a musician, but a graphic designer wannabe illustrator (I've also read Julia Cameron's Artist Way, and it changed my life)... Reading your site makes me feel somewhat normal... I get into so many funky moods... I'm up, I'm down... creative people inspire me AND scare me (there's still a twinge of competition in my brain, am I good enough?)... will I EVER get to where I want to be artistically? How do I start? Millions of fears scrambling in my brain...
So, thanks... thanks for being real, and putting yourself out there...
your words are more inspiring than you know.
Hear Hear! I am out here in Internet-land...more than you would expect and i check your blog every single day. You are quite a writer, Miss. It's inspiring to hear you talk about self-improvment and creativity so much. You seem very focused and passionate, while veryone else is off just getting drunk. What I'm trying to say is...I like you kind of a lot. ahem.
