I need to build up awesome wins that I can flaunt to colleges in the upcoming years. Does anyone know about any (traditional) art competitions/contests/something that gives you recognition for your art? If possible western Massachusetts would be awesome. Also, any advice on how to get the courage to pursue art in college/how to pursue fine art as a career? Any advice would be welcome.

Thanks ya'll!

P.S. I hope everyone enjoyed Halloween! My friends and I went to see the Rocky Horror Picture Show at midnight. I was devirginized on the stage with my friend and it was altogether a different experience from just watching the movie. I loved it. Anyway, I hope no one ate poisoned candy and no one had too much fun. Enjoy the buzz for as long as the candy lasts.

On Tuesday I'm going to be going to an artsy camp at Deerfield Acadamy (DASAC). I'm looking forward to it so much because my sister attended first session and loved it. Most of my friends were in first session and I'm in second so it looks like I'll be in "new-people-make-friends-mode" for at least the first week. But that's okay, I usually cope. I'm mostly looking forward to singing and drawing and randomness so it doesn't really bother me that I don't know anyone. I'll at least know the pastels, pencils and pianos...

What are you doing this summer? Any long trips to share with us?

I swear, I was tearing up in the little theater where we watched the inauguration. Who'da thunk forty years ago, that a black man would sit in the presidential office? Not many people for sure. Coming from an age where a black boy and a white girl could not share a water fountain; I think this is such an amazing development. And adding to that racial symbol, this man's got IDEAS! Ideas to change America and the bigots in government. Ideas to spur peace and stop spending money we don't have. This country could be great with the right ruler and I fervently hope that that's where we'll be by the time four years come to a close. Peashout peoples.

So, what I'm doing this break:
- learning the music for Western District
- eating caramel popcorn
- getting surgery (and it's on the 26 people, just so you know. And is WILL be an overnight. We're driving out to Boston the day before and then driving back the day after.)
- some serious PT (ugh. No one's looking forward to that.)
- and Generally Having A Good Time

What are you doing this Holiday Season? (please comment)

So, we're watching the Parade and peeling apples. Later we're going to a friend's house to celebrate the arrival of the not-so-directionally-functional Pilgrims and their *cough* friends, the natives of America.

One disturbing fact while you sit and eat your bagels, when we turned on the TV this morning there was a thanksgiving cooking show on (that's not the scary part ) and there was one of those "news strips" at the bottom. Apparently, Al Qaeda issued a threat of suicide bombers in New York at the Parade. So there's increasing security and SWAT peeps everywhere.

Anyway, have a good day people.

This is it:
- I tore my ACL which is a ligament in the knee joint
- I did it during a soccer game and no one touched me so ya'll can't go and kill granby, sorry.
- I also have a bone bruise
- I'm in no pain, I just can't run and I'm using a crutch. Though I really can walk I swear!
- I'm doing physical therapy
- We think that we'll have the surgery just before ChristmaChannakaKwanzanica break so I don't miss any school. Because I realized quickly, missing days of high school is bad. There's tons we do each day and I can't keep up with that kind of workload at home. It'll be over soon.

That's it loyal compadres! peace ~molls

Again, I feel dead. School is getting harder and harder. I guess I was never really that challenged up until now and I'm paying for it. I find myself more and more defining what I want to do with my life and what I might be able to do.
On one hand, I really want to get into drawing, singing, writing, or photography. Recently, I think I've been progressing mostly in singing and drawing (pencil). I tink writing and photography would take a backseat. But, I'm afraid of trying to be and artist. I mean, there are so many amazing artists out there. It's not that I think I'm not good enough, it's, well, I guess I do feel like I'm not good enough for that.
I'm not that good at math, science isn't my favorite subject, english not so much either, and history is only interesting sometimes. Maybe I could be an art teacher or a music teacher? But, I would hate to try to teach someone who hated art or music.
I never really imagined the struggle that high school would put me through. Not exactly a physical, but a mental struggle. And the question looms;

What do you want to be? Or, What can you be?

I'm not sure.

Anyways, today I'm going to Shelburne Falls to be part of a reading from a literary journal called The Equinox.
I submitted a short story, (a page was the limit and boy, did I have a hard time with that...) and they accepted me! Today is the release date of the book and so I'm going to be reading my piece with others who were accepted. I'm a little nervous, wish me luck!

Here is a complete list of where I went so I don't have to explain it fifty-million-times.

We flew into Phoenix and then rented a car and hauled our luggage tooooo (in order):

- Canyon de Chey, Arizona
- Mesa Verde, Colorado
- the San Juan Mountains, Colorado
- Pegosa Springs, Colorado
- Silverton/Ouray/Telluride, Colorado
- Escalante, Utah
- Moab (Arches National Park), Utah
- Bryce Canyon, Utah
- Grande Canyon (North Rim), Arizona
- Sedona, Arizona

Then back to Phoenix for the return trip. The whole shebang took three weeks.

But as excited as I am to go to high school, I'm going to bawl my eyes out today as I leave all my teachers from the last three years. T_T

Also, this is when my friends are really defined. I have to choose who I'm really committed to in the next few months.
Ehhhhh . scary.

AH! I have to go now, school is calling.

We just got back from New Jersey. We went there for the unveiling of my grandparents' headstone. During our stay we slept at my mom's friend's house. She really cool and laid back, a little neat-freakish though. Her children introduced me to...

DUN DUN DUN

the Wii.

Oh Emm Ghod. I LOVE Wiis now!! They're so cool!! Arg, I really want my own now...

Anyway, the ceremony was beautiful. It started to rain and thunder literally as we started the ceremony, but we had umbrellas and it made the tone more dramatic. My mom had hired a rabbi to say the prayers. I could feel my grandparents next to me and by the end of the ceremony, it felt like I could let go and they were at peace. I cried.

Like I said, it was a beautiful service. I miss them.

It's wierd, a few minutes ago my neighbor came over to ask where his sister was (she usually comes over to play with my sis) and he kept looking nervous and shooting glances at my chest. Well this was very awkward because I spent most of my childhood with this guy but it kind of tickles me to think that finally someone's noticed I have boobs. What's the point of having boobs if no one notices them? I 'effing deal with these floppy coconuts everyday, the least someone could do was notice them! But double-u-slash-ee. Whatev's. My neighbor's not my type anyway. Girls, big boobs are not fun. You might think you want them but- no. They are annoying and heavy and make it hard to talk to people and stop you from jumping or bending down without worry. Why, world? WHY?
