i leave this weekend for over a month. it;s only 8 hours away. Maine College of Art, so i can paint and ruin more clothes with permanent splotches. i guess i don;t care that much about the ruining of clothes, i'll wear them anyway... i am torn tho. as much as i want to go and paint my heart out, i get a rush of excitement thinking of working my ass off in such an environment, part of me wants to stay here. time destroys all; hopefully we can withstand this amount of time and the added distance. sigh. it;ll be hard, but not impossible. though here comes madame celibecy again. :) ever so pure am i. as you wish.
