Been a while, eh?
Well a lot has happened lately, and I suppose I should write about it soon.
Here's a basic rundown of what's been going on, though.

  • I'm going to prom with some of my best friends in the whole entire world and I'm so beyond excited I can't even stand it.
  • Seriously all I want to talk about is prom someone help me
  • I met my friend Emma's friend Eliot and he's the coolest person ever.
  • Hunger Games movie was great but I'm still angry that they left out Madge because that's gonna cause SOOOO many problems in the next movie
  • I got my haircut and I'm really happy with it. It's shoulder length now and my bangs are sooo much nicer.
Ok that's all for now, we'll talk more later.

lolololol
this girl who hates me is explaining why she hates me
and she said it's because I insulted her photography business.
I'm sorry, but you need to learn how to take criticism.
I only said your use of photoscape was obnoxious, and you favor hundreds of self portraits at a time.
You will never ever make in the art world if you get that offended that easily.
I went to the Avett Brothers' new year's eve concert and it was fucking AMAZING.
And I just really want a sitar
and a plane ticket to London
and some wellies.

A cloudburst doesn't last all day.

My grandpa came to visit for the holidays.
Now, don’t get me wrong. I love my grandpa.
BUT HE IS MY LAST LIVING GRANDPARENT
AND HE DOESN’T GIVE TWO SHITS ABOUT HIS HEALTH
He’s diabetic and he’s had a heart attack and his arteries are super clogged and he’s on a nebulizer because he can’t breathe well because he’s been smoking since forever ago.
SO what does he do?
Literally sits and watches TruTV for like 23 hours a day (when he’s not taking mini naps), eats pork rinds and M&M’s and drinks Pepsi all day EVEN THOUGH HE’S DIABETIC, then goes outside like twice an hour to smoke THEN COMES INSIDE AND HAS TO BE HOOKED UP TO A BREATHING MACHINE BECAUSE HE CAN’T BREATHE BECAUSE HE SMOKES.
It’s really frustrating. I mean, I’m not the healthiest person and I don’t work out as much as I should and I like junk food.
But I know my limitations!! AND I SORT OF WANT TO TRY AND LIVE FOR A WHILE!
He’s just killing himself slowly and it’s really hard for me to take. I’m just trying to stay in my room as much as possible because the cigarette smoke makes its way inside a bit and it’s killing my allergies. And my mom is so upset about it because she knows. UUUGGGGHHHHH.
And my mom just read this over my shoulder and now she’s pissed at me.

I have such awesome friends, really. This is including but not limited to
  • Catie
  • Will
  • Johnny
  • Maddy
  • Drewsie
  • Michael
  • Denzsmell
  • Emma
  • Poois
  • Benn
Being around them just makes my day that much better.
Catie is just an angel, and Maddy is too.
Drewsie is always entertaining, and there when I need him.
Johnny understands me better than anyone I've ever known.
Denzsmell may be a pain in the ass a lot of the time, but I love him.
Michael is gonna be Ash and I'm gonna be Misty and we're gonna hang out on halloween. And he's just rad in general.
Benn is fucking awesome and I'm so glad we're friends because he's like one of the coolest people I've ever known.
Emma is an adorable little gal. Rachel too, for that matter.
And Louis/Poois is rad and always will be.
Just thought I would share.

Shiver me timbers, I`m a`sailing away

I`ve realized that life is truly about enjoying the little things. We all live for these big, epic events in our life and we let all the other, small things fall off of our priorities list. Like what I just did-I sat, drank the best cup of coffee I have ever made, ate a croissant, and listened to some Tom Waits. I took 7 minutes out of my day for some peace. And this isn`t one of those turn-off-your-phone-and-enjoy-the-silence moments, although mine was off. It`s just `me time` in it`s simplest form. But I do need to learn to enjoy the pleasure of my own company, and not always picture how much more fun it would be if I wasn`t alone. Especially if I`m gonna do that year in Europe when I graduate. But man, if I have some coffee and croissants and a cd player, I should be pretty good-to-go!

I don't care if monday's blue

Oh hai guise
I'm listening to The Cure (mostly cause it's friday and I don't think Rebecca Black quite qualifies as good friday music for me)
And I am having a pretty good week, even though school started on wednesday
But it's not even bugging me too much right now
I'm sure in like 2 months I'm gonna go into my
UGH SCHOOL SUCKS GAWD WHY DOESN'T IT EVER END
But right now it's good.
Fine Arts Center rocks too, which helps haha.
I'm working on my first case bound sketchbook and I have to find some wicked trippy pycadelic print fabric for it but when it's done it's gonna be amazing
I hope...
Making sketchbooks by hand is kinda fun actually
the thread keeps catching but overall it's pretty great
I should post pictures when I'm done!! I'll show you last years sketchbook
The french groove wasn't super strong and it cracked a bit but that was on the inside so you can't see it-the cracking you see is just from the paint on the outside
My other one should be done soon and I'll get pictures up ASAp for all you nefs!
:D
Alright, I want coffee.
