the female gaze

Look with your eyes, not with your hands.


Such a minute fraction of this life do we live: so much is sleep, tooth-brushing, waiting for mail, for metamorphosis, for those sudden moments of incandescence: unexpected, but once one knows them, one can live life in the light of their past and the hope of their future.

My suburban sebbatacle

Lil' Miss good citizen. I've renewed my license, my passport, registered my sister to vote, and got the paper work for my parents to change to a new political party affiliation from independent status - all that and I am blogging from the SW public library!

My days at home have been a mix of essential errands and the deliciously addicitive real world marathon. Craving the city more and more with each video music award commerical - and thinking that I've only been away for slightly more than a week - but it feels like ages. The summer has gone by entirely too quickly as I am facing roughly four weeks left before I turn back into a college student... not that I ever really stopped being one, but I can already tell that I will be nostalgic for the days gone by once September comes.

Spent some quality time with my sis running the gaunlet of errands lately... I'll be back in time to help her move in for the first time - we're making it a family affair.

But anyway - still can't help thinking that my head is somehow NOT in the game - I can't concentrate on anything and haven't felt the rewarding sense of completion of a task done. I don't know - I think I need some actual "time to myself." I've been moving around a lot in the past week and often with a sidekick or an entourage - I just need some peace and quiet. As my sister would say, "no peace, know peace" or something to that effect.
