stolen

She had failed her math test. When she got home there was a note on the table that said her mom would be out until 7. Four hours of freedom. Wild freedom. She was a wild woman, leader of the pack, queen of the jungle. She lay down on the couch and howled, mumbled chants she remembered from somewhere, vague, dream-like words. She turned on the TV and blasted the volume so she could feel the floor shaking.



Then she got our her paints. She took off her jacket, took off her shirt. She shivered in the cold. Then she squirted some color on her hand and slathered it across her stomach. She painted birds on her arms. She smeared a rainbow on her cheek. She put dots on each vertebrae of her spine. She was alive, she was pulsating with light and rhythm and feeling. Society wanted to numb her with the injection of those red marks on her paper. Society wanted her to wallow in her shame until it consumed her, until it was her only motivation.


But she refused.
She knew the injection was nothing more than a sugar pill.
She knew it was all in her mind.
She knew that nothing could kill her soul unless she let it.

Audrey Kawasaki

possibly my favorite artist other than Dave Mckean, her shading is so legit.

anyway ive been reading some of my old journal entries( i still prefer paper, it feels more permanent). i was a really sad girl and obsessed about my weight, i would have told my old self to chill but since i still think i'm fat...i won't. man, i'm listening to passion pit right now, they are so good. by itself any part of the music would make me cringe but altogether it's actually pretty good.

hahaha so the miss america pagaent totally lived up to its usual embarassing glory.
ex.-one of the contestant when naming her state said " the kellog state so eat your wheaties" when in reality wheaties are from general mills! hahahaha also some horrible tans and more horrible talents i swear that "scholarship competition" is going down the drain.

i have to say that my dad is an idiot and i'm not even kidding, he just walked by and told me i have to wait an hour to feed the dog because he's fat...WHAT! what difference does it make if i feed him now or in an hour? he's still getting the same amount of food. so tonights the miss america pageant, cant wait to watch a bunch of idiots strut around look stupid, my inner feminist is coming out not that it was really that hard to find, im pretty feministic or whatever
