Back of the DoorSomeday, I want to approach the back of that beautiful, etched-in door,  Run my fingers across the grain, and tell each splinter and bevel,  “I remember you so well now,  
All you did for me,  Though it seems we’ve never met before.  From the front you were sterner, more severe,  And I hated you.  My fear made us combatants,  But you did nothing to assuage me.  You loomed, and you pressed,  
Surface so hard and uncomforting,  Dark and standing sole guard of the only things I wanted to know.  Unmoved, you would not indulge my pleas,  You would not satiate my imagin Back of the Door

I'm Graduating! and The Office Finale!

Journal Entry: Thu May 15, 2008, 11:08 PM
Omgosh, so to everyone who replied to my childhood contacts trauma post, those were some amazing comments (LOVED them, lol), and I'll still be replying. I've just been pressed for a time a bit because....

Tomorrow (the 16th) I'm graduating from my Masters Degree program! YAY! I'm gonna be a... master? Whatever, I'ms gonna be edumacated! Officially. I'm really excited, as it's been a tough (and expensive) two years, but hey-yo, I've made it! I have to be on campus WAY too early in the morning though. The ceremony is at 10:30 am, but I have to be there at 10, and I have to take the freeway to get the school, so with morning traffic, I'm gonna have to leave by about 7:45 am. All of this means: I'll be getting up at 6 something to be somewhere by 10 am. YUCK! What an awful reality. haha. Couldn't this have been a mid-afternoon ceremony? Oh well.

BTW, in (unfortunately in my skewed, obsessive world) almost bigger news, does anyone here watch The Office? Did anyone see the season finale tonight? It is one of my fave shows, and I LOOOOOOOVED the finale. What sucks is that my main message board for all fab things Office (and specifically Jim and Pam) is raining down major hatred for the episode because of the non-Jam proposal. I have as much glassy-eyed, swoony love for them as anyone else, but I love the show for the SHOW, not just for them, and it was truly a fantastic episode. Anyone else think so? Anyone willing to indulge in glorious conversation with me about it? lol

much love!

Oh my goodness, THANK you! Seriously! I'm so glad you enjoy my work so much, and I hope I'll stay inspiring.... or at the very least entertaining. lol :D
*travelingpantscg:icontravelingpantscg: 2 days 22 hours ago
You CAN say it that way. It's entirely acceptable. lol. And thank you so much for all the kind words and for watching me! I really do appreciate it, and I'm more than happy to have you doing so. :D

I've completely been there, so no worries! I'm just so thrilled and honored to be watched by you! I'm such a huge fan of yours; your art's lovely. And it's wonderful to hear that something I've made has made you exclaim anything. lol.

And hey, I'm working on my telepathic abilities, so maybe someday soon it will reach me. haha

Thank you agaaaaaain!! :hug:
*travelingpantscg:icontravelingpantscg: May 3, 2008, 10:25:22 AM
Truly my pleasure. I adore your style, and your lines look effortless. I'm a very happy watcher. haha
*travelingpantscg:icontravelingpantscg: May 3, 2008, 10:24:16 AM
You're beyond welcome. I love your stuff, and I can't say thank you enough for the watch back!
~valaheri:iconvalaheri: May 3, 2008, 5:41:43 AM
*I swear I don't know why I didn't do it before* if you don't mind I'd start to watch you! A person can't know I like her art very much if I don't write something in her gallery (I suppose if I exclaim "oh, a so beautiful pics" in front of the screen of my computer, the feeling isn't transmitted to the drawer, does it? At least if the drawer isn't telepath :lol: )

Hey! Thanks for the watch.

Wow, thank you TERRIBLEY.

I think there's a difference between ditzy and dumb. Dumb is just not knowing. Ditzy is having the courage to ask.
