The end of pissy-moodedness-by-friend-or-???-cheerupicus is indeed a wonderful thing. While not in a pissy mood, but in a barely spoken a meaningful word in a week sort of way, I got to have some pleasant and enlivening conversations. One with my hot ass professor. This was of the artistic-intellectually-stimulating-does-not-equal-pretenious sort of conversation that tickles my something leaving me floating in a sea of wonder for hours and hours.

Tomorrow, I get another such conversation with one of my best best best friends, as he is stopping in Charlotte (2hrs away from me) as his way to an overnight in Atlanta before heading to Florida to meet up with his family for a cruise. Can I say YIPPY without sounding emasculated or just weird. I've just spent a few moments trying it aloud. I've decided that it is okay in type, but not spoken. I can't quite reach the girlish timbers of true glee without my voice cracking making me all bad drag-queen -sounding.

Anyway, I am meeting him at the lightfactory (a museum of photography). I've been wanting to go for a while, but for some reason felt I needed an excuse. With my excuse present, off to the lightfactory I go. I must say that it was great of him to drive down seperate from his family since our visit in Ohio ended after a rather long day with his family where he and I barely got to have a meaningful conversation. I did enjoy spending time with his little girl however. It was life affirming. Made me want to fix things so she can grow up in a good=safe world. I think I might need your help with that (I trust that you will do your best without my guidance, as a prerequisit for the position is that you are self-motivated and independent.)

Well since I edited this down from a comment I left on necia's journal ( a wonderful human being btw) I'd better add something else to make it worth her while should she read it.

Classes started today. Well, my 3D design class, anyway. It's like sculpture but with foam core board, card board, wire and lighting source, and eventually found objects. I am so freaking excited that school is back in session. It's like life was on hold or something.

I made it through the summer, barely (though it's not like I am living in a refugee camp in Darfur--- my life was fairly joyous comparitively speaking). I have a thousand loose ends. I am doing my best not to stress over the lack of any plan to tie them up or weave them into something beautiful. It will happen.

I soooooo need a new profile picture. for someone who takes pictures all day, you would think that I could turn the camera around every once in a while to share myself with the world. Besides, the person I was smiling at is no longer in my life. And I no longer really look like that...a lot has changed.

See for yourself....

I miss a certain someone who has been gone all week!!!
