music is an uncomplicated world.... sometimes I think if I can find the right combination of songs it'll rewrite my whole childhood... or whatever it is that made it so hard for me to be happy.... I'm always worried.... always tense... always stressed.....nothing else can really be held on to because anything can leave at any second... but music is constant... once it exists it can't be undone.....once its found it can't really be lost.......so I have it all day... all of the time.... and I get by

His paintings always seem to be about isolation. Ironically, I'm kind of obsessed about his work because they make me feel less alone. I used to want to paint so I could put it down on paper and say "look, this is how I feel." It's not an especially depressing thing to me though. Lots of his paintings have a very strong feeling of contentment in them. Lots of them are also about feeling austrisized and confused but that's life. I want to do a set for SG and base it off of one of his paintings. Theres one called eleven am and I want to set up my room just like that painting and have the last pic in the set replicate the painting. I have really short hair though but I don't think that will matter too much.
