art + books = love

i'm faith.
i like making art and reading books.
i also like a lot of other things, like: exploring new places (overseas and here in the midwest), discovering and sharing music, making salsa (and sometimes other foods), late night conversations on kitchen floors, looking up at starry skies, and laughing.
i'm caught between being an introvert and an extrovert. it makes life interesting sometimes.

finished the hunger games. nothing too exciting, but i’ll probably see the movie when it comes out. (big perk of dating a theater manager… i haven’t paid for a movie in months!) 

right now, i’m reading a david sedaris book in between classes and during chapel, which is entertaining. i’m excited for the reading possibilities the spring break brings with it… since the farthest i will probably travel will be to bloomington. :) 

next on my list: the year of magical thinking, this side of paradise, and madame bovary.

animalstalkinginallcaps: MISS ORNATA, THANK YOU FOR COMING. WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT BILLY’S BEHAVIOR. NOT ONLY IS HE AN INVETERATE FIDGETER, HIS TEACHERS FEEL HE IS FAR TOO CURIOUS ABOUT SUBJECTS OUTSIDE THE CORE CURRICULUM. HE HAS VERY FEW FRIENDS AND ALMOST NO INTEREST IN SPORTS. HE APPEARS BORED AND OFTEN WORKS AHEAD ON CHAPTERS NOT YET COVERED IN CLASS. IF THIS WERE THE 1980S WE’D SKIP HIM AHEAD A GRADE OR TWO OR PUT HIM INTO A PROGRAM FOR GIFTED OR ACADEMICALLY TALENTED STUDENTS, BUT THESE DAYS WE RECOMMEND ELECTROSHOCK THERAPY IN CONJUNCTION WITH A BATTERY OF ADHD DRUGS. AFTER ALL, MISS ORNATA, WE CAN’T HAVE FIDGETERS. IT DISTRACTS THE OTHER CHILDREN.

ankdy asked: Faith, you should follow Girlsack. Except for being Asian, you are totally cute like her and have a very stylish personality! Also, she is a college student like you! www-dot-girlsack-dot-com Maybe you should start posting photos of WYWT (what you wore today) like her! this is Mitchell Moss, by the way.

I’ve never heard of her blog but I will give it a look! Thanks.

this semester> last semester, for a number of reasons. mainly, because i’m no longer taking art classes and i finally have some room to breathe and time to relax. one thing i’m really excited about is that i’ve been able to read for leisure in my spare time. since the semester began, i’ve finished:  - dandelion wine by ray bradbury - lisey’s story by stephen king - is everyone hanging out without me? (and other concerns) by mindy kaling - a moveable feast by ernest hemingway  i’m halfway through the beggar maid by alice munro, and after that i plan on starting the hunger games— a series i had been intentionally avoiding. i’ve never been one to get excited about popular books, or really even been very interested in most books written after the 1970s. there are just so many books i want to read that in general i avoid books that haven’t yet stood the test of time. but i’m stretching myself to be more open. a good story is a good story, no matter how old or critically acclaimed. so, with that being said… any reading suggestions for me, dear tumblr followers? :)
