groove

i told a friend earlier this week that i would cut her hair tonight & we could watch grey's anatomy together.

somehow more and more people heard about it & wanted haircuts/to hang out, so tonight emily, alea, sam, leah, dan, juan, and tj all came over. we got 4 pizzas and a couple 6 packs of mike's hard & just sat around talking. i cut emily's, dan's, and leah's hair, and then we watched tv and played mario kart.

it was probably a stupid idea and a waste of precious precious time to get this zine done, but i don't care. i missed my friends. i did the dishes after, piled up bottles and boxes and took the trash out, and i just kept thinking about how i feel really fulfilled in my relationships here, which hasn't always been the case.

sometimes going to art school it's a little hard to maintain friendships because artists and designers are usually very introverted and somewhat selfish. but i'm so proud of my friends, and nights like tonight when my friends need and want me, i feel really good about myself. everyone just kept saying how much they love how we've decorated our apartment, asked to see my portfolio and told me they were super impressed, told me they liked my hair and the way i was dressed, sought me out to consult them on how to cut their hair...it was just a good night. i'm so happy that i have friends who lift me up, especially lately when my life is a giant ball of stress and emotions.
