It’s time to get over it and move on; he/she doesn’t want you. Get a life. Live for yourself. Be yourself. You don’t need Wolfric, Edward, Rory, John, Estella, Candy, Daisy (repectively) you are fine and awesome on your own. You all just look pathetic pining over someone who obviously has moved on for God's sake you should do the same! You are wasting your time, my time and paper/film boring us with your sad attempts to win the heart of someone who couldn't care less about your sorry ass so do us all a favor and get the fuck over it. Kthanx love Emily.

I had an epiphany the other day:

To me boys are like Marzipan.

Every time I see some I think, aw how cute I want some! Then when I finally break down and get a piece I remember how much I hate Marzipan. It may look cute on the outside but really it’s just gross. I mean really they come in so many cute shapes and colors but no they all taste the same: icky.

Just say no!

Epic Bruise

In dance we roll around on the ground a lot. And apparently I bruise easily.

November Artist of the Month: René François-Ghislain Magritte

René François-Ghislain Magritte

Birth; Death: 1898-1967
Born in: Lessines, Belgium

Art movement: Surrealism!

Surrealism is a movement that started around 1924. It sort of formed out of dada, most of the artist that were a part of the dada movement joined the surrealists around then. The Dadaists used more of an improvisational technique, but as surrealist their focus changed to inner world of the psyche, the realm of fantasy and unconscious.

There are two types of surrealism.

1. Biomorphic (Joan Miró) largely abstract whatever I don’t like too much so I’m not going to talk about it.
2. Naturalistic (Dali, Magritte, Chirico) Imagery is recognizable but changed into senses that had dream/nightmare-ish quality.

Magritte developed his own unique style of surrealism. He did not simply take an object and distort it like Dali who would take a clock and make it look like it was melting. Instead Magritte depicted realistic images but it was the manner in which he arranged them that made the surreal. Magritte’s work challenged logic and contradicted accepted truths. His work made you want to know “why?!” and “how?” But you can stair until you are cross eyed and read into it as much as you like in the end you just have to except that you are not meant to understand. The only point is to go against logic and depict that which is only real in your dreams.

Nice shirt, but it would look even better accelerating at 9.8m/s^2 toward my bedroom floor!

I'm pathetic and here are three reasons why:

1. I only really have two close friends in the AV; Tierney and Nic.


2. My two closes friends also happen to be dating each other.


3. And now Nic’s mother is trying to set me up with someone.


I don’t mind being the eternal third wheel. I love them both, and I’d rather be single anyways. So I think it’s hilarious that someone else’s mom is trying to get me unsingle.Plus the only good things she said about him is that he’s “nice” and “clean-cut” so I’m pretty sure I’ll pass on this one.
