Staying Creative: Carry a Notebook Everywhere

Page 1

Hopefully this isn't going to intrude/encroach on any of my other notebooks' jobs. I already have a journal, and an Omni Liber. You are just part of a project I'm doing this month called Stay Creative. I have to carry tu everywhere today. I've already miss that really, b/c I didn't take you to bootcamp, and I haven't actually carried you around the house. In fact, I'm just now beginning you and it's 2:11. Fail XD Dang. Maybe I'll keep you going even after today. Can't tell you how many times I've wished I had a notebook and haven't. This could be the start of something XD

You name will be Azul. Creative, I know, but bey, that's why I'm doing this in the first place.

Azul, welcome to my life.

In Car:

- having you makes me feel a powerful aliveness I haven't felt in a long time!

- The clouds remind me of a beach. Sky = sand, clouds = foaming surf.

- sheesh, everything is better when I have a notebook on me!

- Cosmic Love gets inside me.

- The field is golden brown. I think...I dunno what it used to be. I should take a picture. I love the way it looks.

- You know, having a tiny keyboard would be the BEST.

- That field has tall grass topped w/soft, feathery purple-gray stuff. I want a picture of that too...

- I wish I could drive.

- Can't Take It reminds me so much of HoJ {House of Justice, my story}.

- The clouds are diverse and sci-fi-esque.

In grocery store:

- ring pumpkin w/a colorful bottom-of-a-green-pepper looking thing in the middle.

- individually-wrapped sweet potatoes...

- white mountain bread...awesome! looks like peasant bread.

- i <3 chocolate chip coookies...

- what's aseptic...?

- milk is lighter since going to bootcamp.

- harvest tomatoe...like, not ripe tomatoe soup...?

- card category: "Suggestive Love." Awesome.

- I got the rottiserie chicken all by myself. I'm proud. I have a phobia of grocery stores alone. Even if my mother is 2 aisles away.

In the Car:

- just saw a treehouse w/actual bark for siding.

- It sort of bothers me how he says "a'spected' instead of "expected" in Paradise.

- fall weather never fails to make me think of the fire fairies.

- Momma says the golden-brown plant field is/was soy beans.

TO DO:

- call Ed Wilson

- register for SAT

- cash tutoring checks

- fill out dance team competition forms

- check movies for Fri. night

In the Car:

- You know how there are patches of trees covered in vines? They ALWAYS look like people to me.

- I HATE when ppl wave their hand in your face when you're staring off into space.

- I feel so disgustingly fat right now. Blurgh. Ate too much today.

- There's the golden-brown field again.

- I really do not want to got to this college prep thing...or whatever it is.

At the Thing:

- I look really homeschooled today... Didn't feel like putting on makeup and I'm wearing a mismatch of sweats.

- Oh goody. This woman looks home-schooled too... ANd she's carrying a box that says "Secret Recipe"... I shoulda worn my Papa Roach shirt w/the heart. She'd probably have a caniption.

- Now I feel bad about that sentence. I should be making her feel comfortable...

During the Thing {I edited out my notes on the actual presentation. I just left the snarky, bored comments}:

- sometimes I still forget that everyone speaks English. I wish I were in Europe.

- More than anything I wish I had gotten dressed today. And put on makeup. I feel retarded.

- ...there's no way we're signing up for this...program? service?

- Holy wow, that the most awkward thing ever. My dad started clapping b/c the speaker lady was thanking someone and...no one joined in.

- Did...did she jus say, "For the next hour and a half..."?!

- Aww. Now she's telling that we students should take complete responsibility for getting into college... Damn. Shush.

- Oh man. She just talked about the hugely expensive "elite" colleges...and named every one I've considered.

- Maybe I should make a name tag that says, "I WANT TO GO TO WAKE AND NOWHERE ELSE" before she gets too fired up about helping us choose...

- I really hate the way this lady makes it seem like you can't possible do certain things. I can get into anywhere I put my mind to, okay? And so can everyone else. Anything is possible.

- It's "FAFSA," okay? Not "FASFA."

- Okay, make up is now the least of my worries. I am so bored and tired. -___-

Tomorrow I will be Freewriting. That'll be interesting. I hate freewriting... *sigh* We'll see.
