Davis

After two weeks, I finally made my debut back into civilization last night. Straight after work I jumped in the car to go visit some friends in Davis. Walking around with all the other kids, (that were all my age! gasp!) I felt like I was in a totally different world. With something to compare myself to, I noticed my personal hygiene levels have deteriorated somewhat...I guess dirty farm jeans don't really fly in the city.

Found a fallen star in the icy grass and held it in my hand.

Spent all day yesterday getting excited about the Leonid Meteor Shower. Drove up to the hills at eleven with friends, was seriously disappointed to see only one or two (that very possibly might have just been my eyes tricking me). Ended up stiff with cold and suffering from neck pain. However did find a glow-in-the-dark ball which is now my little meteor! Will keep it as a souvenir of all the meteors that I know were out there but I didn't get to see.

I started going to the young artists workspace (YAWS) at a pretty young age with my best friend, Zoe. In the beginning, it was pretty much just an excuse to see her on a regular basis after we changed to different schools. But as time passed we formed a tight community with the teacher, Jen, and a few of the other core students. We outgrew the kid-sized chairs but we kept coming every week because we enjoyed it so much.
Though I no longer take classes there, I've been working on restoring the mural on the outside of the building for the past month.
Last week we had a 10 year anniversary celebration in the park with face painting, print making and side-walk chalk.
My dog, Luna, decided to lie in the kolam chalk designs... Then we turned her into a rainbow.
