Hello Joy Lady!
I'm super stoked to see yur still around. I'm kinda tickled by how life can be so chaotic, and dynamic... and then sometimes you find the still waters of some proverbial lagoon... where things are still familiar, and aren't whizzing by you at 9million miles per hour.
Anyway, Hi.
-Terry

Hi Terry,
Sorry for the very slow response. I noticed the date you sent me this message and my life was pretty much HELL. I lost my mom Sept 4th and the grieving process has been a roller coaster ride ever since. Anyway...thank you so much for the message. I'm still in the area. Not doing much artistically. Not doing much at all right now actually aside from just trying to keep my head above water. Working and trying to keep the house running with my dad has been a challenge just by itself. Every month I tend to go through these periods of withdraw and I don't want to go or do anything. Every now and then one of my friends manages to get me out of my slump to go and do something but here lately its been rough.
I just wanted to make sure and respond to you.....and again, sorry for the delayed response.

Oh pobre Joy,
I am really really sorry to here that your mother has left us.
My deepest condolences.
I know exactly the hell you are talking about... my dad left us in November of 2010.
He was diagnosed with cancer he didn't even know he had in October of that year, and barely made it not even 6 weeks after that. It was terrible, afterwards. I shut down entirely for nearly two years, during which time my fiancé found better things to do (err umm people), and left me.
I ended up sticking it out with my mom, when back to school (at The Art Institute of Houston), got my BFA last December, found a job right away (thank god!), and managed to get back on my feet after a considerable stint in that swirling black lagoon of blah. Needless to say, life will get better... not all at once mind you, but day by day the blah sorta fades out of focus. I never really forget why I was hurting, but I defiantly learned out to accept that pain's place in my heart... how to grow stronger from it... and how lucky I was to have my father in my life for so long.
I was just last year, during the Christmas of 2013, that I decided I wasn't going to have SAD Christmases anymore.
God they were just the worst before that. I had a huge cathartic moment, and broke down and cried like a baby in front of all of my friends during their Christmas gathering... I that moment I realized that even though my father was physically not with me anymore, that his spirit, his love, his wisdom, and all the memories I have of him were still with me... stronger than ever.
So, in closing try and keep this in your heart:
The sun will shine again... and when you are finally able / ready, you will feel the warmth of your mother's loving light shining down upon you. She is with you, and she always will be.
Alright Joy... I want to talk with you some more, and will do so really soon.
Be well,
Terry

OK, well I checked and there is only one way.
Any who... it was some time ago. Before your long absence. I was that kat From the Mighty Majestic Oaks... Before I moved away, and they chopped all that shit down to make way for that unstoppable jugernaugt they call urban sprawl!
Fuckers... anywho... Its cool to see you around, gives me a sense of peace, to know that all the world isn't chaos.

"nothing like having cheese stuck on ur lip, thanks for pointing that out. I would have never noticed. What would i do with out you?"
You'd have cheese stuck on your lip for months-on-end!! Wouldn't THAT be embarrasing?
Sounds like you work in an exciting place.
