Masterpieces

[xaara]

I'm going to paint my room today. I'm sick of the off-white creamy color that the previous owner of this house painted the walls - it's depressing and uninteresting. I'm going to pick a bright blue, accented with orange stenciling around the edges. Maybe a hint of green along the woodwork. At any rate, there won't be a surface that's not touched by color.

One wall, I've decided, is going to be covered in poetry. I've picked some of my favorite poets - Frost, Neruda, Blake, Ogden Nash, Whitman - and selected a few lines from their best poems. I'm going to write the poetry in huge bold letters all across the wall above my bed. I want my room to sing.

I'm headed to the paint store in a few minutes, and I'm inordinately excited. I can't wait to watch the last of that beige disappear under a bright color. I can't wait to write the most lyrical words imaginable across my wall.

I can't wait.

Sure; come over any time. :P I like releasing the artsy side of myself every so often - and I hate off-white. Life is too short to waste on boring non-colors.
