Thank You!

What is going on in your lives?

I lost my phone in Chicago on my way home from visiting Caleb. We had an awesome weekend together. I found out my bro was jumped by 4 guys and is in a hospital in Florida. And I have a bladder infection....

How bout you?

that you have ever been and why...

East Coast Meets West....This is our story...

TheUrbanRaptor posted a blog asking for suggestions for tshirt design submissions in early December. Seeing as how I have a minor obsession with those vain and spectacularly foliaged birds, I suggested he create a peacock. The next day he had designed the most splendid peacock design I had ever laid eyes on.

Amidst the blogs we started talking about random things...my art, ideas, life. He asked me for my email address, I gave it. We started emailing back and forth for a few days. I would wake up in the morning to find "Have an amazing day Peacock77" in my inbox. Shortly thereafter, we started talking on AIM. Because I am in New York City and he is in San Diego, there is a 3 hour time difference. Neither of us have really slept well for 3 months. We found that we were talking on AIM for 5 and 6 hours a day. I was no longer sleeping and still don't.

We first talked on the phone on Christmas Eve at 10 PM. He was as amazing, witty and funny as he had been online. I was enrapt. For Christmas he made me 2 t shirts, one with the image of a splendid peacock gracing the front of it.

As things progressed, and we admitted our deep and strange connection to each other, we decided that we must meet in person. The entire span of the country separated us, but I decided I needed to understand this amazing thing that was engulfing us and giving me constant butterflies.

I flew to San Diego. It was love at first sight. There wasn't a moment of awkwardness...it felt completely natural when he took me in his arms.

The rest of the weekend is history and was spectacular and romantic beyond a girl's dreams...

And now here we are. Addicted.

Song that you can think of?

that you would most like to meet in person?

Or makes you feel anxious?

I just taught a kids' art class where they had to draw themselves doing their absolute favorite thing. I drew myself riding a horse.

What would yours have been?

Check out the awesome peacock shirt theurbanraptor made me for Christmas. Thank you! I love it...

I am fascinated by:
the fact that a calorie is not a real thing
where the universe ends
how our bodies can function without us thinking about it
how we can't see so much of what makes up our environment
micro vs. macro...

How about you?
