Tagliapietra (beauty from sand)

 

apropos of nothing, i've always wanted to be a glassblower.  it's not really a glamorous job, but the results are so lovely.  i'd probably love every one of my freakish, misshapen, blown-glass results and bring them home and then be crazy glass lady.  but i probably wouldn't even make wikipedia.

Blownglass

i always have so many thoughts just swirling around.  so i put them here.

sometimes, i feel lonely because not many people "get" my brand of crazy.  just like in high school, i'm not cool enough to be cool, or smart enough to be brainy, or artistic enough to be, well, arty.  except now i am also not middle-class enough to be suburban chic or consummate decorator, or a knitty superstar.  so i feel a lot like i'm sitting on the sidelines watching from afar.

not really even a complaint, just a statement.  i'm generally happy with me.  sometimes, i just wish i could find a way to connect to something different.

Those glass things are so pretty! I wish I had an artistic talent like that, but I don't.

I definitely didn't fit in during high school. I wouldn't go back to that time if you paid me!

I think you're very cool and smrt! :P

I think you go beyond cool and smart and into yawesomeness. I wish you lived in Houston so we could hang.

i often feel the same way.
