dreams...

Lately Ive been dreaming of growing up way too fast. I want a career, a house, a dog, a studio...health insurance, and my kitty, rosta.

Thats him. :)
Anyway, I have always run into this problem, my whole life. Im always wanting to be one step ahead of where im supposed to be, its frustrating. so now im at this point where i should be taking it easy, go to college, focus on school and education, and im trying i really am...but im also saving up for a home, a car, a comfy cozy fuzzy place to call MY home. and thats all i really want out of life. to be comfortable and happy and surrounded with love. no parties, no boys, no drama, and ive completely removed myself from all of that. and im happy. im centered. the only thing i could ask for is to have my two best friends in the same town. alas, i cant have everything.
hmmm...i should have saved that for my journal...ive been working on a fun project though! photos later...

The best day

Today was wet and cold and gross. but in my world it was beautiful. I spent the whole day with Patrick and since it really feels like I havent seen him in about, oh...3 weeks it was perfecto! We slept in late (like really late!) and then ate some mexican at the villa! at after-church-time (bleh!) so it was over-run with cranky, hungry, christians but we made fun and tipped the waitress extras:)Thennn we stopped a record store, then the mall to shop around a bit, then we made an impromptu stop at the movies to play lord of the rings pinball and see shutter island (!) it was amazing! definitely worth seeing IN theaters. or out but who wants to wait that long for a pure genius event? not me.

I also saw Valentines Day with my sis last night, it was good but really the only thing that made it good was all the amazing actors/actresses (ok amazing is a stretch, we'll say highly famous) it was cute i almost cried once and it made me laugh but i doubt i'll watch it again.

Anyways, on with my day as if anyone cares, we went to barnes and noble to search for good reads...he found an inked magazine, i found nothing but the latest issue of hi-fructose (great magazine but i wasnt impressed with artists as much as the others) so no buy for me. but book stores are always perfect on rainy days... Now we're home he's playing hockey right next to me and reading everything im writing over my shoulder...i played BIOSHOCK! for awhile then took a bath AND im planning to paint later tonight. I never really get in the zone to paint until super late. But Im very very excited about this painting, it is inspired by alice in wonderland (i had to) and its going to be very pretty, hopefully.
welll thats my update for today. Have a lovely week!!

Music Mondayyy

The new Massive Attack comes out This Tuesday... I got it today. (shhh...dont tell) and its really amazing I especially loves the artwork <3

this is what i did today:)

It was a lot of fun. I loved experimenting with in studio lighting more than i usually get to at work. Now for an outdoor shoot! (later this month.)

this is how i feel right now.

Now please excuse me while i slit my wrists.



just kidding. Im so up and down right now.

OMG!

I had a brilliant idea this morning while driving to my sisters house. Like, brilliant I tell you. animal heads+camera=brilliance. So i went searching for animal heads and not the cheesy kind that look like halloween, i want it to look like it still could be alive and preferably a bear or wolf or something cool like that. so, i ended up on ebay and found this here!!!!

Ok so I realize its not realistic and its really not what i was going for at all but how cute?
How cute would this be in a photo similar to these....
Just think...mhm.:)

Music Monday!

These are some of my all time fave songs and they always bring back the most magical memories. Its fitting right now since Ive been really nostalgic and generally down the past couple of days. bleh. enjoy!

Happy February!
