A Little Eccentric

Society's Utopia

Hello all!
It is so very nice to know people are reading my blog. Comments are more than welcome...What is the point of having an on-line journal if no one reads it? Then I could just write in my actual journal and be able to write a lot juicier and more gossipy things. This blog is total sophistication on my part.
This weekend, I had a lovely time going to Denver with my Art Club. We rented a University van, which worked very well for the number of people we had (8). Field trips in college are so much different considering we organize them ourselves and one of the students actually drove the van. I fell asleep really fast as soon as we left since I'm still a little sick (plus I have my Dad's gift to practically pass out once I am in a car or an airplane), and only woke up when they were balancing an art book on my knee and reading about a new exhibition somewhere. The museum was awesome, even though they are renovating and a lot of the artsy art exhibits are closed. It was mostly artifacts and their private, historical collections. We went up to the highest floor as a group, and then split up and agreed to meet in the lobby in two hours. It was so much fun that way. We all moved about, viewed leisurely, and whenever we ran into each other we would talk all excitedly and show each other our favorite pieces on the floor. My favorite was the old European floor. They even had two Monets, two Pissaros, and a Picasso. I still get all tingly when I see a famous artist. I had a fabulous time, and it was nice to spend a day talking all about art. The whole way back it was talk about what pieces we liked, how we store our art supplies, how many times we've gone to Croquis, etc. I'm glad I have that outlet. Plus, it was sweet because three of the four girls there (including myself) had dyed red hair and cool piercings. The more you try to be different, the more you stay the same.
I am SO ready for Turkey day. Thanksgiving is the perfect American holiday; you sit all day watching football and eating like a pig. I am eager to escape "society's utopia" and come home for awhile. All this independence is getting tiresome.
How 'bout them Broncos?!
