When I look at the shape
of America on the map,
my love, it is you I see:
the heights of copper on your head,
your breasts, wheat and snow,
you slender waist,
swift throbbing rivers, sweet
hills and meadows,
and in the cold of the south your feet end
its geography of duplicated gold.
Little America excerpt - Pablo Neruda
I am SO EXCITED because I just learned that Bon Iver will be at Straz Hall the beginning of this June… and I must go. The question is, WHO WILL GO WITH ME?? ANYONE?
Guys. I am interrupting my salad to tell you about something I really love right now, Vanicream.
I cannot remember the last time I felt comfortable going out of the house without makeup on (I have redness and I am prone to break-outs), but today I wore none and my skin felt and looked really great. It’s really liberating to go out with a naked face and feel good about it.
It’s a great price and really great if you have rosacea or just general red/dry skin. Read about it here. It has safe and relatively few ingredients. I’m not one to go advertising products unless I love them and I don’t know why, but this works. Read some reviews!
You can find it at Walgreens. I haven’t been in any CVS that carries it, but the pharmacy can probably order it for you.
Here is a poor picture of my salad, which I am about to devour.
Elle is adorableeeeee
If you are not living,
if you, beloved, my love
if you have died
all the leaves will fall on my breast,
it will rain upon my soul night and day,
the snow will burn my heart,
I shall walk with cold and fire and death and snow,
my feet will want to march toward where you sleep,
but
I shall go on living,
because you wanted me to be, above all things,
untamable,
and, love, because you know that I am not just one man
but all men.

Hello all!
I would like to introduce you to my lovely friend Rosie, if you haven’t heard of her already. In her words, a Peaceful Warrior fighting the battle for her life, she has many talents, like writing poetry and cooking delicious-looking vegan food, but really, there is so much more! Read more about her @ We Are One
On her blog, she writes:
I will be here —> we.are.one@inbox.com
And you email me a question you have, or a concern, or just a pondering about life. Perhaps it’s something you feel too shy or embarrassed to ask others, or too scared to ask yourself. Or perhaps you just needed a loving awakening to realize that someone out there cares for you, even if we’ve never met.
So write me, and I will write or video back. :)
She is such a beautiful person, inside and out, and I wish you to go learn more about her :)
In five days I take a pretty big test. I feel confident about it. Yet still I’ve been feeling really down* for the past couple of weeks and it’s been making it difficult to study. Has that ever happened to anyone else? I can study if I’m sick, but if my spirit isn’t in it, it’s really difficult. I’m sucking it up till Friday and praying I do well, because I honestly do not want to take it again. After that I plan to spend my free time hiding under my covers, taking lots of photos (probably of shoes) and drawing pictures of cats (only for you tumblr, I’m not much of a cat person).
Hearts for cute furry animals cuddling.
*I am now that person that reblogs a cute picture of furry animals and sticks it in the dumpster with a sad story. I know.

This is my non-human BFF Lucy. We are having a sleepover. She’s already snoring like a little pigglet.
