so, i found this old notebook from when i was 12....

and i thought i'd share some of its contents with you. you know they'll be great, cause this is the back of it.

and also because i promised my daughter awhile back that i'd show her some of my art from when i was about her age to prove to her that she's a better artist.

read more so people who don't care don't have to see what a ridiculous person i am was.

alright, here we go~ this notebook is mostly full of old drawings...

we start with a family of whatsits playing by a river after a picnic on the hillside.

a... snowflake?? was this drawn by a 3 year old?? sadly, no.

"i'm an Indian on a boat!" i.... was going through a phase. why is he at a desk?

oh good Lord, what is this thing?? i feel like it's trying to suck my soul out.

why hello there, Mrs. Potato Head.

i think this guy has an overabundance of nostrils... but it's okay cause he thinks he's fabulous.

oh, i think this is actually a drawing of one of my sissy's stuffed animals.

it seems i was having difficulty drawing hats...

but i finally got one i liked... and when i did... now that's what i call a "yes man"

a premonition??

what is happening here?? we just don't know...

and then i have about 20 pages that look like this.

so, there you have it. a peek inside the mind of 12 year old me.

If you get to this, then thank you! Land of Mirrors and Silence.

The reflection didn't move,

she did not speak,

she only stood and looked upon the land

so strewn with blood and shadows that

nothing was full to bursting.

The silence grew and bred,

seeping between fragments of shattered glass-

cut cut cut

and singing voice crying

but falling deaf upon such empty space

no winner's song

no victorious cries

and if we are to die

do our reflections live on in hope or dreams

playing out lives long lost

merely echoing and mimicking

mocking something

cruel.

I can chew on my own toes! :B
