Year-long project of writing exclusively in crayon to counteract the serious business of being an adult.

'Turo
'Turo and his rabbit ears. He bought them at a Flaming Lips show at Red Rocks.
It seems I've yet to replicate Hispanic skin tone with crayons, so he looks a bit orange. Perhaps this is another color that needs to be called into existence. According to the 2010 U.S. census, Americans of Hispanic descent make up 16.3% of the U.S. population. I'd say this warrants a latino/a skin tone crayon color.
The crayon project continues. People continue to give me funny looks when I write in crayon or catch me coloring. I'm learning to embrace it. Also, I'm up to, like, a half-dozen boxes of crayons. When I just have the basic 24-crayon pack on me, it's akin to writing in a journal using only remedial vocabulary. A girl needs more than 24 crayons to express herself.
This week's been very busy. It's really thrown me off. Every day I want to run home, put on my new slippers I recently bought while intoxicated (I swear, I make my best purchases while under the influence), and watch Downtown Arby's (Downton Abbey) with Bustity (Buster).
