Merry Christmas

DI wandering

I just got done watching all the Etsy short films ever to be made, and I feel like it wasn't a waste of time, really.

I feel kinda crafty.

And so I might go to the DI. But before I do so, I thought I would leave you with a little story:

Once upon a time there was this girl who couldn't make up her mind about what to draw. Soon she started to pull up pictures of beauty:

Like this piece by Gustav Klimt,

She was like, "wow, that was tasty."

But then she witnessed this:

(Egon Schiele)

And thought to herself: What a glorious world we must live in, really.

Then she saw this:

And was kinda like, THAT'S IT.

ART IS BECKONING ME.

So she started to draw.

The End.

I hope you may fall in love with something beautiful, whether it be

• Music
• A brand new pair of shoes
• Christmas
• A new friend
• A pretty person
• A dog
• Or your mom. (Love Hannah)

Peace out,

and happy 21st anniversaire for my parents,

May your marriage last as long as forever.

Behind the wheel (and other realizations)

I feel it necessary to vent about a subject that used to be near and dear to my heart. The ol' driving jokes.

Okay, I understand, I'm not the best driver. Honestly, I have no idea how I passed my driver's test. That's a lie, I do know how. I slept through my first one with mean old Christensen, and my second one involved a lady who talked about my hair the whole time, not even watching me.

So believe me when I say that I know already. Really I do.

Some people aren't blessed in that area and I sure am not.

Take for example, the Christmas dance. It was a blast, but they asked me to drive. Fine, I will. I was pulling out after the dance, and rammed right into the car behind us. Nice. Luckily there was no damage. I was about to shout a swear word when I looked around and saw all the special needs kids watching me.. Shoot!! I yelled....20 times..

What makes this even better is this guy came up to me while I was all distressed and said;
"I'm really not all that surprised Nicky"
upset, and slightly offended, I responded; " well you've never seen my driving, so how would you know?!"
"Nicky, I was in the car when you drove us to Harvest. You went over like 10 curbs. We almost died twice!"
"Yeah... well....uh, it was more like 3 curbs...and..."
"You can slap me if you want."
Then I proceeded to slap him. (Lightly, I'm not that mean.)

So yup, trust me, if you're a bad driver, it's okay.
Just take this lovely tip:
Don't drive with people in your car.
Then they will know the truth.

Gather Round for a Christmas Story

So, have you heard about Utah's freak wind storm the other day? It may have been distracting, but it was a nice break from school, lemme tell ya.

I could show you pictures of fallen down trees, but those are only cool to me I think.

Anyways, I have a fabulous Christmas Story to share with you:

Just a few days ago I was absentmindedly getting watercolors from the front of my painting class, just enjoying the smell of paint, and soaking in the christmas spirit.

You see, my teacher wasn't there, and I missed her very much. In place of her was this weird substitute with handlebars and necklaces, plus he was old.

Anyways, I was up in the front just humming to myself when I decided to actually sing:
"It's christmas time in the city" It sounded pretty good. Probably a mix of Beyonce and Enya. It's whatever, I'm a fab singer.

Just then, directly in my ear, I hear:
"Ringaling, Dingaling"

I jumped, and turned and there was my sub. Like 3 inches away.

CREEPY.

Anyways,
Merry Holidays,
and may all of those who live in Utah have their trees still firmly placed after tonight's freak storm.

Love,
Nicole
