The Rise of the Moon Flower

A long time ago, when the earth was newer, wilder and untamed, existed a flower. Every evening she would slowly awaken as the inky darkness of nightfall overtook the brilliance of day, and the creatures of night arose from their daytime hibernation to roam the forests and grasslands of the planet. 


At first, her petals were twirled together so tightly, closed. At first appearing as though she were a tiny star on a vine. As the moon rose slowly in the sky, she would unfurl her petals, as if she were taking a stretch, sending her silent regards to the glowing moon in the velvet covered sky. "Good evening, little flower," the moon seemed to say. And she replied by opening her petals wide to reveal the beauty and quite feminine grace that only she, the moon flower, possessed.

I'm back(ish)

Ok so it's been a while since I posted. Life has been sort of flipped upside down for me lately. I'm still working on my Jr. Thesis project. It's coming along. Angel and I took an awesome trip to St Louis to visit Alec & Brad. It turned out great. I took about a thousand pictures, which are on my facebook. This weekend I went to visit my friend Ingrid's tea shop (Insani-Tea) in Montclair. That was fun and exciting. I ate an elevation burger for the first time in my life, which was delicious.

The sad news is Angel and I are no longer a couple. A lot of things happened. I made a lot of mistakes. I hoped for a while that he would take me back but he seems to be pretty set on this so I suppose now is the time to throw myself into my work and see how much I can accomplish this week. I'm sort of excited at the prospect of a trip to Philadelphia though to see a piece by Duchamp "Bride Laid bare by Her Bachelors, Even" with Cathlene. Angel is driving us so I'm hoping no awkwardness will arise. The two of us seem to be doing ok at getting over each other. He's still being really nice to me, which is something I wholly appreciate. It's kind of weird. I've never had a guy break up with me and simultaneously help me through the breakup as my friend. I'm thankful though. He does so much for me.

It's an action packed three weeks as we have scheduled trips to the MoMA, Philadelphia, and Felician Live is also coming up soon! (Think SNL) Mr. & Ms. Felician is coming up in April also! How busy I will be, so if I don't write you know why...

I'm off to do some real work now~
Ciao.
