Oh hey, 2017

A lot has happened in the last... year and eight months (?!) since my last set of musings.
  • I got my first big kid (full time / adult) job --> I'm an art teacher! It's awesome.
  • I moved to a sweet ass apt by the beach
  • ​With the most amazing guy on the whole planet
  • We got two kittens, Pocket and Thor. They rock.
  • New York is awesome.
 These giant changes have been amazing, and strange, but I think I've finally stopped spinning, and I'd like to figure out who this grown ass woman is that's inhabiting my skin.
​

I came across this old blog, and it pulled on my heart strings in giant ways. It was me, right? It's still me. I still feel like I'm right at the beginning of everything, still so uncertain, just about 200,000x happier. I guess the biggest question running through my brain at the moment is- are there any parts of me from the past that fit with the me I am right now? I just don't know. 

Every so often, I'll feel like I'm not moving forward. But, that's pretty much my only constant these past few years- forward motion.
SO:
  • I got a fellowship to go live at Thomas Jefferson's estate, Monticello, this summer. I'm going to be creating a freaking comic book about the spaces enslaved people inhabited, and their lives. I am honored and humbled and also terrified (definitely more on this later).
  • I'm going to Italy this summer with my school. I fully plan to cry at the Pantheon, and the Duomo, and St. Mark's square. I'm crossing the pond, man.
  • I'm getting SO political. Fledgling member of several democratic clubs. Fully climbing into my family name there (more on this later!)
  • I make amateur video games now! (art making + insecurity about this art making = near constant theme)
  • I'm getting my iridescent white ass back into shape, currently working to build up my endurance and strength.
  • which is made infinitely more difficult by the fact that I recently found out I have Celiac! Goodbye, all my favorite foods. Hello, irritatingly tasteless beer.
  • I'm learning several languages (as always), which is to say WOW, look! My attention span still sucks, and here are some things occupying my mental space recently:

And so, in an effort to catch me up, here are some books I've read in the past few years (HUGE fan of Goodreads), not including academic books, web comics, or things like that. 
  • Largely dominated by fantasy books, comic books with badass female heroes, and several classics / popular reads
