THEME

I never want to grow older.

obsessive compulsive disorder

In the past few months I have been obsessively listening to Ariel Pink's "Before Today" album. The day I was packing for vacation I listened to it about six times in a row and we went to see them the night before. Trying to get into the sold out show, we creeped around like teens behind the venue and handed the bass player a lighter. All of us were too sober to walk up and ask if was any way to get in but as we went to the car the bouncer told us we could see their set. I felt truly happy while watching the performance. This album is so goooood.... it reminds me of scanning the radio and getting many different genres at once. It also reminds me of my time in Portland because I'd listen to it everyday in the empty house by myself. Must stop listening repeatedly so I don't burn myself out.

AT TWELVE

I just wrote a five page paper on the message and purpose of the third photograph. They are from Sally Mann's book At Twelve: Portaits of Young Girls, which you showed me in your bedroom. The girl in the second photo does not want to be near her mother's boyfriend and Mann was forced to crop the elbow out because the girl refused to move closer. A few months later, her mother shot the man in the face for doing indecent things to her daughter.
