H&M is too high fashion for me

i realized this today when i was wandering around the store looking for more weather appropriate clothing. i felt so out of place and a few people gave me strange looks like “why is she in this place?”

hate it.

yourbeloved

i really enjoy and appreciate how humbled and determined you are.
it’s very refreshing and puts me in a better mood.

working on something sort of neat! my fingers are currently ripped to shreds because my dumb ass decided to wrap loads of wire by hand and without any type of pliers. yay.

also, i need a haircut.

something that irritates me about tumblr is the search fields, or perhaps the lack of their being “good” posts for what i am searching.
i liked the old searching where you had all the different categories and sub categories to choose from - it made sense to my brain to figure out what it was i wanted to look for.
but maybe my irritation lies within the individuals more, because when i’m looking for artists and what not, i’m kind of tired of getting crappy generic photos that someone with a d40 took - and more importantly, there is not credit; no name, link, nothing.

this internet thing is starting to disappoint me.

Le Flash was awesome

if you live in atlanta and didn’t go, shame on you.

i had a blast hanging out at one of the better exhibits. although, i’m also bias.
dave and steve & heidi aishman had a drive by shooting exhibit that was awesome.

dave and i took turns playing call of duty from the xbox which was projected onto a wall out of a van, and later we drove around the block in the van with the violence still projected onto people. not to mention it was in the shitty neighborhood that is castleberry hill.

it got a lot of attention both of the confused and awesome kind. it was pretty neat seeing the reactions people were having to it and how they handled walking in front of, near, around, or being projected on.

soooo neat.
best night.

i think i got my art mojo back.
i just sat down for 30 minutes with the new anatomy sketch book my sister for me for my birthday, and i just wrote and wrote forever on sticky notes and stuck them on various pages from the book.

my brain is swimming now.
and i’ve got concepts, and mental sketches.

now i wish i didn’t have to go to work so i can sit down and flush these things out.
looks like i know what i’ll be doing when i get home tonight!

also, these weird ass dreams i’ve been having the last few nights can leave me be any time.
i am not a fan.

company of thieves - new letters

maybe this makes me trendy or whatever, but i cannot stop listening to this album, and this song in particular. i think its kind of tragically beautiful [if that even makes any sense] and just puts you in this mood, where you may or may not be able to pin point some time in your life where you’ve felt like this, and it makes those emotions rush over you and fill your head with them and all the “what ifs” that tagged along with them. but it does all of this without making you feel sad or upset because just before your head starts to go there, they blast you with these melodies, and orchestral chanting that just kind of heals the moment, so to speak.
and maybe this is all just me and i’m super weird and spend way too much time thinking about the music that i listen to.

i just think its a great song.

i just found out my mom won teacher of the year!
:)

i suck at blogging

work is going good. finally getting the hang of things. thinking i like the night shift better than the morning, simply because it makes me a bit more relaxed. annnd i get to sleep in a lot.

have not made any work yet. or even attempted to. shocking.
maybe i have to just wait it out until my brain is 100% comfortable with this whole “job” thing. and maybe i’ll feel more inspired when i’m not living with my parents in cumming anymore.

dave and i are doing swell. i’m forcing myself to have a little bit more of a social life, which makes me proud to say that i actually do have a real friend [yay!] but just one. i’m okay with this; keeps me from spending ALL of my time alone or just with dave. neither of which are healthy.

as of right now, it’s looking as if i’ll be at my financial goal in 3 months, which is 3-6months sooner than i was originally planning/thinking. yay!

i don’t really have anything else to say.
