Hunger/Games
I don’t know anymore how to ask for what I want. Maybe I never learned. It is my nature to say “no thank you” without thinking, without even considering my options. I have been politely declining my way through life, which explains why I feel so hungry, so empty-handed. I am all cautious knocks, flitting glances, interrupted sentences that go unfinished. I hate these birdlike...
This spotify playlist I just stumbled upon is changing my world right now. It’s mostly 1950s and 60s French and American tunes: Serge Gainsbourg, Brigitte Bardot, Elvis Presley, Dean Martin, Tom Jones, Billie Holiday, Chet Baker, Frank Sinatra, Henry Mancini, and a bunch of French fellows I’m falling in love with. I’ve been playing it all day.
Feel free to add me...

Home Sweet Home
Took some pictures of my apartment today. I’ve been putting this off since the few photos I took when I first moved in (almost exactly 2 years ago!) because it never feels finished. And it’s always a mess. And I still can’t afford to buy all the pictures and frames I want. But here it is, my little work in progress.
I’m pretty proud of this home I’ve made.

You should add me on Draw Something (I’m carojarvis) because I’ll make you feel better about your drawing skills. For someone with tiny little fingers, I draw like I’m wearing a pair of oven mitts. Once you add me, send me a message on here to let me know who you are so I know I’m not drawing things for serial killers (but let’s be honest I would still play probably,...

I’m happy someone articulated how I’ve been feeling lately. I’ll be back to blogging soon. I just needed a little break.
FYI
Just a head’s up - I haven’t been able to receive messages for the past week or so. I’m working with Tumblr support to resolve the issue. Don’t send me anything important!
