The Definition of Sin.
I’m currently working on a definition essay for my AP English 12 class. We all had to pick a word. I chose sin. It’s not a simple definition such as one you would find in a dictionary, it’s extended. So I have to get creative with this thing, but also keep in mind and maintain the idea that it’s a non-fiction essay. There are so many different ways I could go with this, and...

Contemplation.
I just want to feel wanted.
Maybe I want too much.
“A painter paints pictures on canvas. But musicians paint their pictures on...”
“But you could not have a green rose. But perhaps somewhere in the world you...”
If I Were Of The Wishing Sort...
…I would wish every morning and night on 11:11 for a certain thing. This certain thing may or may not involve a certain person putting some kind of effort into this certain kind of odd relationship we have going for us. I have to tell myself all the time that it may not be personal, maybe this certain person lost his or her phone or something’s preventing us from talking. Certain...
Au Revoir, Las Vegas.
I’m sitting in the airport, waiting for my flight to board. We have the exit row again, thank the lord. They scanned my Starbucks with this strange device, I guess because it’s a liquid. But I bought it in the airport terminal, so I don’t know what they think I could have done to it in this short time. The slot machines in the airport still astound me. They’re the first...

Day After.
We saw Cirque de Soleil’s “O” on Christmas Eve and it was absolutely marvelous. It was accompanied by a pre-dinner at Lavo. One hundred and ten dollars for three people including the tip, but I guess that’s what you get when you’re in Vegas on Christmas Eve. Last night was Phantom of the Opera and dinner at the Grand Lux Cafe, where we learned that all of the food...

Waking Up In Vegas.
Good morning tumblr, or to people back home in Virginia, good afternoon! I feel like Katy Perry, waking up in the heart of Vegas. We’re on the 43rd floor of the Palazzo hotel, which is connected to the Venetian, and we took a fantastic gondola ride yesterday evening. Our gondolier serenaded us and called me pretty in Italian, and then a lady trying to sell my dad and I tickets to a show...
I'm so fly.
No but seriously, I’m in the air right now. Heading to Vegas from Atlanta, and we’ve got about 4 hours left to go. We secured the exit row though, so that’s not too bad. People in airports truly are interesting, while ordering Starbucks (caramel frap double blended with extra caramel drizzle, as usual) I heard another customer tell the barista that he had a beautiful voice. It...
Presents.
I am now the proud owner of a beautiful new coat, among other lovely gifts. We laughed at the oddity of opening presents on the 21st and pretended it was actually Christmas morning. I truly love my family. And I’m glad to kind of be blogging again, I have the feeling a lot of it will be text and not so many pictures. Whether I have 3 people following me or 300, I’ll write what I will...
“There is no magic cure, no making it go away forever. There are only small steps...”
Back on the bandwagon.
Thought I’d re-start my tumblr. My best friend just got one so, why the hell not? Maybe I’ll actually keep up with it this time. It’d be a good place to post my photography. I’m packing for Las Vegas. We leave tomorrow.
