art and schools there-of

I have passed illustration.
one more class that i'm still in doubt about, but I think I'm just over thinking.
I hate hate hate this program.




I may have a mental illness. I seem to be going senile very young. the other day i dropped my wallet in the hall thinking i was putting it away and didn't even notice. i also am very bipolar. i'm not sure if that's new.

2001: a space odyssey

From an ecological perspective colonizing the moon is profoundly logical. Since we can expect that Earth will soon be uninhabitable we must consider other options. humanity should not be held accountable for destroying our planet, even though it is our fault.
since the moon has no natural resources we will have to either synthesize or do without earthly comforts, such as food, water and oxygen. As humankind is likely to repeat history and destroy the Moon colony in time we must take preventative measures. A universal Monarchy with unlimited power must be set up. And just in case all humans will be kept in a vegetative state except the Monarch. The task of picking the Monarch seems difficult, so i suggest they volunteer themselves by anonymously starting a nuclear war and then leading our species to the moon. Under such circumstances we will be happy to have a leader step up.
As you can see, ecologically speaking a moon colony is not only necessary but imminently so.

Christmas trees and hicks

I have a couple words to bring to your attention reader:
1) "anipulate"-to doctor something to make it better.
2) "pacific"-explicitly stated
3) "opposed" -to be required to do something.
i know some of these seem like they are wrongly defined, but that is because you are confused.

Dead Authors and Schools of Thought

I have lately only been reading deceased authors and it makes me rather depressed. You see, I get very attached to characters in books and movies, and in books that extends to the author. This is especially true in non-fiction writers. But then when the book is done I realize they are dead again. I hate when books end.

School is also depressing. I realized I learned far more in the 5 weeks I worked with Ruby than the last 3 months. next semester I want to work with a tailor again and if it goes well I may not go back to school next year. It's just not giving me the knowledge I want. I'd almost go so far as to say I am learning nothing. I'm almost unlearning things because I haven't truly designed or created anything this semester. School is a waste of money. Apprenticeships are where it's at.

HI there. here are some pictoral images of some mittens.

these are for girls

these are for boys!

HUZZAH

One for all.

Saturday:

one of the greatest days.

went to see the 3 musketeers and enjoyed it beyond belief. I also knitted a mitten in the theatre. knitting in the dark is borderline difficult, i made a mistake.

after that i bought the book, took myself home and had a nightcap of gourmet hot chocolate.

I really like being alone. I am really good company. no one could have made that night better by being with me.

relationships are never good.

Toronto

People from Toronto are ignorant. here are some examples

"everyone in the country has one thing that they're really amazing at, but people from the city are just alright at everything."

"we are going to go to The Farm."

"oh cool, what farm?"

"The Farm. like a regular farm in Barrie or somewhere. They have pumpkin patches and strawberry patches and you can buy stuff."

Another thing, it does not sound smart to use a long word if you don't know how to use it.

example: "excuse me sir, can i help you furthermore?" (said with an upward lilt)

People are as ignorant in Toronto as anywhere else.

June the twenty-fourth

I don't really know what's been going on in my life lately.
I have been working like an adult. that stinks of moth balls and manure. quite literally i assure you.

so. i have been assessing my relationship skills lately. I'm very good at making the first step with people. sometimes they respond, sometimes not. those who respond often get to a certain point of closeness and then run. or i run. others get to a spot that fits and stays there. but i have very few friendships that turn out the way i expect. these sentences are fragmented. so are my relationships. there comes a point in all my friendships where i become a jerk. this ends them all almost instantly. i need to find the cure.

i hate the internet. i hate fake communication. i hate failed plans. i hate hating things.

i love biking in the rain.

Impotential

"The Rachael I met last fall stopped here as part of a transition from one space which seemed a bit uninspired towards the promise of new things and adventures out west. You were about design and making unique clothing and also brought some interesting perspectives to things. Best I could tell you had potential and I bet you still have lots."

Potential. Potential? what is the practical use of 'potential'? to use it? that seems oddly impractical.
yes, potential is useless without ambition and money, two things i lack.

What if we got it all wrong?

I heard a song by this title recently (actually a while ago, but who has time to write blogs?) and i had to wonder if that's really the right question. So what if we got it wrong? We better hope we get it right next time, but i don't think there is ever an alternative to getting it wrong. sometimes it goes wrong. sometimes it looks like its going to go right, but in fact, you guessed it, wrong. It has to go wrong once or twice or you'll never know why right feels so right.
sometimes other people get it all wrong and it's so frustrating, but their wrongs have to be dealt with by them, and maybe, just maybe, a mistake can be redeemed.
But, if you do happen to end up in a wrong situation, the best thing to do is to MURDER it.
peace.

dear life

I have had time to rethink things and have realized I was a little hasty. Like a wise man once said, "if you have something worth dying for you have a reason to live."
sorry, I hope you didn't give away my place.
rachael.
