Photo of the Day // A Beautiful Storm II

Another shot of the wicked sky Sunday night, the result of a disastrous set of tornadoes in Joplin, MO. I'm sure by now most of you have seen or heard of the damage in Joplin and it truly is a devastating time for Missouri. There are several groups set up that are accepting donations and time, anything would be greatly appreciated and donated directly to disaster relief.

Photo of the Day // A Beautiful Storm

This was the result of a horrible storm that swept through Missouri tonight. Friends of ours in Joplin Mo were particularly affected. The entire town is a mass of crushed buildings and hurtled vehicles. Thankfully our friends are okay but the town could use any help it can get. My heart is with them tonight.

Outfit// Interview!

Hi friends! I've been quiet lately, yes. But I'm here to share a fun spring outfit with you so cheer up:)

tights-thrifted, skirt-stolen from sister, top-dont know, shoes-thrifted:)

This week has been busy! I've been working on a portfolio all week for an interview with a photography company that is tonight! I cant wait. I spent the week rummaging through all of my images, picking the absolute best, and mounting them into a pretty portfolio! Wish me luck!

Join me on Flickr!

Guess what? I made a flickr. Yep, had to. Go see:)

I'm adding personal tid-bits of my life through the camera as well as some of my photography and some fun adventures!

Have fun browsing! I'm going to make this a regular part of my...er...social networking?

In other news my life has been like yarn in a huge tight knot, thanks to finals and my public speaking class. Public speaking is not for me. Its just not. And what a stupid thing to force students to spend their money and nerves on. Angry. I. am.

Photo(s) of the Day//Record Store

These are all photos taken by me of my boyfriends record store Stick It In Your Ear! This is one of my favorite places to be in the world. Its filled with thousands of beautiful records at your fingertips! I love that no matter whats really going on in the world of music, this place keeps it alive and as meaningful as ever. Theres no better sound than the crackle of an old record being played, and no better feeling than holding a tangible object of someone elses dream.

Fresh Faced

I revamped my blog! What do you think? I wanted a simple and fresh look while keeping a fun vibe and I think I did it. Happy!:)
I'm working on an "about me" section, links, and a "contact" section so its still sort of under construction, but its coming along nicely. Its a nice little project away from all the end-of-semester homework I've been doing.

Today I'm listening to this all day...

They're so beautiful.

You Better Not Cry

The weather in my piece of the world has been less than pleasant. For weeks now. Rain, lighting, thunder, sun-peaks-out-just-long-enough-to-annoy-you. Repeat. I love it though. Suits me nicely.

To pass the time I've been reading a cute little book called, "You Better Not Cry" by Augusten Burroughs. Its a nice collection of the Christmas memories of an emotionally damaged gay man. And its hilarious! There were several nights where I read Patrick to sleep reciting funny stories and passages from the book.

This mans mind is beautiful.
