Email: Website: http:// shelly is right 2000 did go by fast. and many things changed. kinda makes you a little sad... or at least it does me. last january i was a student at ole miss planning to go to ut austin. obviously that didn't happen. i was planning on haveing a boyfriend... again didn't happen. i was planning on being a kid just a little bit longer... and that didn't work out either. you see a very uncomfortable thought struck me the other day i am an adult. not an old one. or even someone who is very good at it... but there it is. i can't ever be a kid again. and this makes me sad. you know the kind of sad you get when you read the end of peter pan... a sort of enevtible meloncholy. you know... sad to grow up but sadder still to never grow. well now that i have pissed on everybody's happy new year feelings i will attempt to be a little cheerier. in the year two thousand i discovered: that i am very much from the west: that drawing is a lot harder and easier than i once belived; that comics are quite entertaining; that it really bugs everyone that my spelling skills suck; (well that last one wasn't really a shocker) that i truly love jane austen's work; that fuzzy slippers are among the best inventions of man; that i wish i could be not quite this old for just a little longer; that i really love having good friends near by; that dispite nobelist efforts and pureist intents life can suck; that moving past your fear and just doing something usually works (now if i could only put this one into action); now i'm sure there is more i've learned but i slips past me just now. so happy new year everyone.
