I’m not in the mood for sketching today, so here are some snippets from old poetry I found, and some new.
(2006)
“The true good in humans
is what’s in their hearts
not what they wear
not where they start”

[Day 255] Cycles
It’s no secret that I love the band Cartel. I discovered them in my early days of Pandora, when they popped up in my Boys Like Girls station. I actually wrote a review for their second album back in 2008 (almost exactly two years ago… seriously I posted it in April.). But today, I wanted to go through, song by song, their latest album, Cycles, which is, in my opinion, their best work yet. Continue reading “[Day 255] Cycles”
[Day 254] An Anniversary
Today, three years ago, I had my first kiss. Ok, so maybe technically I had my first kiss when I was in preschool, but that was kind of an accident and it doesn’t really count. My first kiss will always be on 4/27/2007 with my first boyfriend, Mike, at ten o’clock at night, outside a closed Barnes and Nobles. Continue reading “[Day 254] An Anniversary”
[Day 253] Will Grayson x2
FINALLY. I know. Oops.
[Day 252] Vannah
I’m not a nerd.
I’m not even a very good girl.
But I am a person.
A person with feelings, hopes, desires.
But I’m also a person with secrets.
Secrets that could break apart the way my family looks at me, as well as some of my friends.
I’m a person with desires.
Desires… far from reach yet not quite unattainable.
I’m a hormonal teenage girl as well.
I crush.
I cry.
I ‘forget’ to do my homework.
I swear.
And I dream at night of how things could be different.
I dream at night, pretending to be someone I will not ever be.
Because that’s the only thing I have to hope for.
That someday I can be Vannah.
[Day 251] Axe Spray
This video is mostly just random. I cradle a one pound thing of yarn. I lead the troops into battle. I discuss the effects a can of Axe Spray has on teenagers. Enjoy.
[Day 250] I made this
…and I’m counting it for my visual art of the day.

[Day 248] Body issues, revisited
On the first day of this Bri 2.0 project, I wrote about my fear of shorts. I’ve had body issues since elementary school, so it’s hard to break that pattern, but now that it’s getting warm enough, I’m determined. Continue reading “[Day 248] Body issues, revisited”
