a week worth of fun. i really love my friends.

colors.

i've took private art lessons for five years so i think it's safe to say i'm an artist. no i don't paint everyday-in fact i havn't painted in awhile, but as an artist i tend to see things from a different point of view. i tend to notice things others don't as well as fantasize about things being different than how they are. i see art in more than just paintings or sketches, i see art in the way chemicals combine in chemistry, the way words flow so smoothly in a love letter, and the way my cat licks himself every night before he goes to bed. there's an art to everything. i came across this quote last night and wanted to post it, i thought it was very thought provoking. it reminds me that there is art everywhere we look. it's from The Book Thief:

'People observe the colors of the day only at its beginning and ends, but to me it's quite clear that a day merges through a multitue of shades and intonations, with each passing moment. A single houre cna consist of thousands of different colors. Waxy yellows, cloud-spat blues. Murky darknesses. In my line of work, I make it a point to notice them.'

fantasy?

my friends just introduced me to gilmore girls. yes i know it's been around for awhile but i just discovered it so it's new to me. i watch it all the time. it sucks me in and i find myself thinking about it often. i mean who wouldn't like a show about a perfect mother-daughter relationship, boys, school, and coffee?

well i've come to find out that this show doesn't just draw me in because it's funny and a good way to procrastinate from doing chemistry, but it draws me in because it's the life that i want.

sometimes i wish i was walking down the streets of stars hollow with lorelai and rory, or drinking coffee everyday at luke's. but then the screen goes blank and the credits come on. the show's over and i'm back to reality. i'm back to the freezing cold blizzard going on right outside my window. i'm back to my life, and though sometimes i wish i was about of the gilmore's life, i'm thankful for mine. i'm thankful for my friends, my family, and of course my cat. i'm thankful for my town and for starbucks. though sometimes it's nice to escape reality and jump into the gilmore world-i'm happy exactly where i am.
