Practically imperfect in every way. Start with a lot of silliness. Mix in some insecurities and a handful of awkwardness. Add a pound of naivety, innocence, and child-like wonderings. Blend well. Half-bake and top off with a sprinkle of imagination and dollop of dreams. It’s the recipe for me!

"I personally believe that U.S. Americans are unable to do so because, uh, some people out there in our nation don't have maps. And I believe that our education like, such as South Africa, and, the Iraq, everywhere like such as. And I believe that they should, our education over here in the U.S. should help the U.S., or should help South Africa, and should help the Iraq and the Asian countries, so we will be able to build up our future for our children."

Winter semester started last week, but my first day was cancelled due to the weather. That made yesterday my first day. I only have two classes again. In the morning, I have art history. After lunch, I have a textiles class. My first assignment is a study of pattern. We’re working with a 1×1″ rubber stamp module of our own creation and stamping eight different 8×8″ blocks. We need to repeat this study three times using three different modules. It sounds a bit tedious, but I’m finding myself engrossed with the project. I’m having a hard time choosing only three of my modules. Some of the practice sheets I’ve done look pretty good and it’s inspired a few more ideas for some larger personal projects. I expect to spend the majority of today stamping like crazy.
It’s the spark of an idea that hits me unexpectedly. It’s the silly wonderings I have after a whirlwind of thoughts. It’s about creativity, inspiration, and imagination. But sometimes, it’s just about eating noodles.
