im really sick...

...of people saying things like "I'll pray for you", because I do not need prayer. yes, I live with my partner and am intimate with him prior to marriage and do not practice your religion (christianity or catholicism) but I am probably making more strides in improving the world than you are. i understand this might seem immature and rude but it is true. i vote for all people's equal rights and do not allow religion to blind fold my eyes when it comes to such "no duh!" rights such as marriage. i have friends who are so brain washed by their religion it has become problematic. when i am sitting in a car with a friend and she admits she voted yes on prop 8 i pretty much write her off as someone who cannot think for themselves. especially when she has gay friends!!!! while this might be harsh, i believe she is perpetuating hate with her religion by disallowing all the same rights she enjoys thoughtlessly. i also do not eat meat and only buy cruelty-free cosmetics and the like (soaps, shampoos, shaving cream, tooth paste, etc) as well as only buy humanely farmed eggs and milk/cheese. think about what you believe in and why when you deny people their basic freedoms and when you support mass slaughtering and genocide of many people's and animals. exactly wwjd in this situation? think from your heart instead of your head. vegetarianism is my religion and i could not be happier, actually if people ate 2/3 less "meat" and only bought/ate humanely raised "meat" as well as other animals products than i would be. dear santa ;)

i smelt fresh wood all day long

throughout today i had constantly gathered a strong whiff of tree, or at least bark and or wood. it was so baffling to me that this scent was following me everywhere! and then, just now i took off my earrings--et voila! there was the beautiful scent of freshly cut wood. i had found an artist on etsy (the website i both buy and sell off of) and had purchased two fantastic handmade pairs of earrings from her. they are these beautiful disks of deep brown wood with the wood grain pattern on them and a hole in the middle with a green or blue bead peeking through the window. the experience of buying handmade instead of factory made is more than i could ever begin to explain. it's much like sex and must be experienced intimatly on one's own experience calender. so go ahead and get yourself some by searching through the gazillions of artists and sellers on etsy.com. and go ahead and look for me (Lunette's) while you are rummaging around ;)

Who am I and can I be a woman, feminist, girlfriend, friend, psycholgist, nanny, jewelry designer etc?

i have so much to do while i am here it seems impossible to do it all in one life and not utterly fail. i have recently begun selling my jewelry on etsy.com and have felt so alive since i began this journey i do not think i could accurately describe it to you all. the friendships as well as love and encouragement have been overwhelmingly amazing and surprising. i feel so independent and alive. is it wrong to feel this way outside of my school/career? or to look forward to grooming my shop more than i do to nannying? what about fluffing my love nest, that is no longer #1 either. i wish i could leave college and travel around the country selling my little lovelies and seeing genuine happiness spread across the faces of my beautiful customers as well as get to feel the warmth of their bodies as we say goodbye. this all plagues me as i push aside yet another assignment where my details are not praised and feedback is minimum and quite unsatisfactory. in the long haul i do realize school will allow me more possibilities (in a sense) than my jewelry making, but i cannot help wanting to fulfill this ever-pressing urge to take flight and abandon this sedentary and under appreciated lifestyle for something much more exotic. for now i will finish the semester and continue to juggle while i pant with desire.
