~ Dear Mauve, your blog bites.
! Relevant comments?!? Shuffled dusty amongst the the spam.
@ Hazel, your writing speaks back to mine, even though it took me so long to read.
# How is Mauve even found here? Y'all next page it up or something?
$ Some asked about the bench. Zee bench was not for me. However, I know the dude they chose, and he and his art rock it.
% Yes, I'm a spaz because They Might Be Giants, and what are we going to do unless they are?
^ Are you singing yet?
& My favorite part of comments is following them to your blogs.
* Attention span waning, fridge humming.
( I miss crickets but not hot oven cowbreath air.
) Green breeze over my fleece blanket.
- Curl up Chucky and good night.
~ Sincerely, what the hell is wrong with you, Jones.

Day 29 → Something you hope to change about yourself. And why.
Day 14 letter edit: ps, if you find my blog, please just ignore it. Right, like I'd do that if I were you.
Post: Secret web of aliases, need industrial grade detangler. Just shave it off and make a wig for when you want to hide. I, not you.
Backdrop: Somewhere between the occasional poor choice of partner and Day 14, Patty Purviss was born. Then she got paranoid, and bore Pearly Blythe. Poor Pearly never really fit in and is still searching for her limelight. Like the retarded unicorn in the back of the barn, it might just be time to let her go.
Present day wish: I want to pedal my art, you see. Not sculpt it into a bicycle, though that could be awesomely amazing, but you know, like use it to make that stuff that buys you other stuff. More art supplies comes to mind.
Dilemma #1: Whose art is this? Whose website will show whose art? How do I get my name out there without getting my name out there?
Dilemma #2: This is where it gets fuzzy. I've had this blog for 3 years, and not sure I can change the user name or want to abandon it. I printed business cards locally for my art, and put my primary contact email and my real name. Christina Something-Infamous. Didn't think it through and also have the same email here and ok, I'll just say it, farcebook. All three have different names though.
Breach! If you have a biz card, you can search for my email, and find everything!!! Shit. But, I have forgotten my gmail and hotmail alias emails, and honestly, (ha), I am tiring of all this subterfuge.
Leading me to...... not sure. Changing farcebook and this to my real name? Hmm. Maybe the simplest is just to let it happen naturally. Make a website for art with my real name, and let whoever wants to find me do so if they really want to.
Not sure yet.
Signing off and going to work. I wonder what patty does all day when I'm gone.

sit on it
I'm entering a contest. I want to paint a bench downtown in my town. These are the drawings I shall send in. Tomorrow. In the mail. If you know me, you know, that is the catch. Can I do it? Can I actually get all the crap collated! in an envelope, addressed, stamped, and.......mailed???? Shit.
I think so.
Viewing question
Is the white font on black background hard for anyone else to read? I sure can't read it without seeing levelor blinds everywhere when I look away, and I have a hard time with other blogs in this format. But, it looks so snazzy. Thoughts? Cares?
Seems like I should throw something else in this post, eh?
ok
Bears eat oats, and does eat oats, and little lambs eat ivy.

Day 14 Save the Drama for Your Mama
Dear R,
You infiltrate most of my days, and I consider this a huge improvement. Why must you be so crazy? Or, rather, why must your crazy be so consistently hostile? Don't you know Crazy is supposed to go up and down? Where are my ups??
Day 1, I hate your crazy. Like an invisible electric fence, laid in frantic zig zags. You call to me in baby voice sing song, electric jolts still surprise me.
Day 2, my space, my fence, no more collar. I love each year, each holiday, each person in my life more now that I don't hear your voice. I love that I found a compromise that keeps you away from me, and eases my guilt. Writing letters, yes still for now, phone calls, no.
Day 3, Your voice sends me into a small ball, trapped way up high in that spider web. I get stuck there sometimes. It's hard to forgive myself for not being stronger than your voice.
Day 4, Frankly, I've been forgiving you since I could speak, and it's getting old.
Day 5, Someday, mail and packages won't give me a panic attack.
Day 6, I don't want to attend your mother's funeral with you. I am pretty sure I don't have to. Man, I must look like a bitch right now. Too bad I don't care.
Day 7 and Day 8, welcome to Libra Land. Enough said.
Day 9, I can not think of a single thing I haven't tried, sometimes, you just have to let go.
Day 25, Because I'm adaptable, and great at ducking projectiles.
Day 26, Never, I am really stubborn. This life is mine Motherfuckers, and you'll take it over my dead body. Plus, I am a great self-entertainer.
Day today, Something positive that we share. Thank you for being a dog person and introducing me to the Greatful Dead. I love whoever you are within all that nastiness.
Love, your daughter, Patty, Pearly, XT

Awake?
There's a beetle in the bed! There's a beetle in the bed!
No. There isn't. You're just dreaming.
No! There's a beetle in the bed! There's a beetle in the bed!
No. There isn't. You are just dreaming. Be quiet.
But look! Right there, how do you know I'm just dreaming?
Because the beetle you're looking at is on a hardwood floor, and you are in bed. You are dreaming.
Oh. Thank you.
You're welcome.
No. There isn't. You're just dreaming.

Brain Forest
Day 11 → Something people seem to compliment you the most on.
Skipping ahead in my 30 days of writing, because this is on my mind. And yes, apparently I struggle with forgiveness.
So, Dude, I have an art show up right now, and this tree is the star. I love this tree, and I miss it in my house. I live inside that big knothole right there. I miss it, and now people want it. It's hard to sell art when you don't want to part with it.
And, Dude, I am hanging a second show in 2 parts. First is tomorrow, shit, that is stressful. Then in 2 weeks that tree will move there with it's forest of creatures and brambles. I am happy that my little paintings will have their moment before the tree steals their light. I am excited to share my brain forest with the locals. Ha. I am also terrified and highly anxious. And excited. And freaked. And..... ya.
I still need to crete a website, hello 2010, you're almost gone. I started an Etsy store that needs some paint splashed on its walls. I made a buttload of prints and cards that have been selling. Gumption. Let's do this.
Shit.

Do frogs forgive?
Man, this forgiveness thing is tricky. Anything I am wanting to forgive myself for, I'm thinking instead, you don't need forgiveness, you need a kick in the ass. I want to forgive myself for my financial struggles, but I think the past happened for a reason and there is no excuse for the present. Man up and figure it out. Bad habits in relationships? Same deal. Fitness, yup, ditto. being too hard on myself? Nah, otherwise I'd get nothing done at all. Hmm, a little stuck here. Wait! I forgive myself for not being able to forgive myself! Ha! I win.
Or not. I'll concede that I have points to ponder for a while.
Lets move onto anagrams!
Inverse Fogs - It's hard enough to see through the fog without it being inversed. Translation: quit overthinking so damn much.
Envies Frogs - Don't you too? Yep, me too.
Griefs Ovens - Unforgiving grief steeping in your cerebral oven, just might make your top explode.
Gofers Veins - Gofers shouldn't shoot up, but if they did, I would forgive them.
Forges Veins - Forgiveness allows you to forge through the veins of human connections. Ok.
Forges Vines - Building blocks to the tops of the trees!
Foe Servings - Ahh yes, what nobler dish to serve your foe, than a platter of forgiveness.
