guuuuys

who would have though that mentioning non-netflix movies would produce the most responses from my readers?

ok, well.. what am i supposed to do, cancel my subscription and go with the 'flix? so far the only movie that they haven't had that i've wanted is once, and that's hopefully because it's not out on dvd yet.

anywaaaaays.

who's going to the italian festival tomorrow? me!
who's going to the state fair on monday? me!
who's going to the national folk festival starting on the 12th? me!

hurray.

i like zooey deschanel and emily blunt. just sayin'.

who wants to see across the universe with me?

one of the stylists at work is going to apply eyelash extensions on me. i'm excited, because i'd love to look all long lashy and shit, and it's free. i just have to make sure i don't get ones that will make me look like a drag queen. or else i'll look like a drag queen for two or three weeks. sweet!

i was delighted to find broccolini at the store last night, so i think i'm going to make garlicky broccolini and tandoori chicken. and i'm going to make some frozen yogurt, too. i look forward to having a significant other that enjoys eating (unlike my last ex) because cooking is fun, but not so much for one.

ttyl omgomg!

because there's nothing else to do.

i said goodbye to a friend yesterday. i don't look forward to saying goodbye to more friends. i hate it, but i will have to do it anyway.

there is nobody out there to help me... to give me the help i need. i am very discouraged. at least i am honest with myself. i haven't always been, and i wanted to see potential in people where it didn't exist. but now i know that there is nobody there.

i'm struggling to manage life. when one source of stress diminishes, another grows.

i have blockbuster online now, and i'm excited to start getting movies in the mail. i have volver and factory girl on their way.

the state fair starts this weekend. i want to go. who wants to eat fried twinkies? awe yeah.

you can all relax now.

So i know it's been forever, and although i have only gotten one complaint about my lack of posting, i am sure there are throngs of you who are disappointed and perhaps even worried about my absence.

i went to new york last weekend. it was fun. it was laid back. i had a good time, but i do think that next time i go i want to do more, go to a party or somethin. but i can't complain about getting copious amounts of sleep.

other than new york... i've been working and still going to class. whoo!! exciting.

i want to start making earring cards and selling my jewelry again... i don't have an ideal way to get the word out about my stuff, but i'm going to try. cuz i need money, muthah. i also want to do more real illustration... in nyc, mark, liz and i went to dr. sketchy's and drew akynos, an insanely voluptuous burlesque dancer. it inspired me, as life drawing always does. i would like to date someone who will pose for me so that i can really draw from life for extended periods of time. i'll scan in some of the drawings for you guys to see if you're interested. and who's not interested in a curvy, black, fro-ed, corseted burlesque dancer in a school girl uniform? call me crazy...

i'm enjoying life right now. i get to see my fam and friends on a regular basis and my stress level is low. my mom is coming into town on monday or tuesday... it should be interesting. it'll be nice to see her i think, although she will be coming from seeing sheri and that will be bad. sheri is my mom's best friend and has terminal cancer. so mom may be upset. we'll see how it goes.

man, the real world is so far removed from how it began... just sayin'...

i am thrilled about the beginning of fall. i get to wear boots. i get to drink tea. it's fantastic. it's a bit warm again now, but hopefully it will start smelling like fall outside. i really really want to walk around richmond in the fall with someone. let's go to forest hill park, or even to carytown, i don't even care, as long as it's not short pump or anything. i love this town, and i'm going to leave it, so let's take advantage of it. and i am planning an apple-picking trip which will surely result in apple cobbler. mmmmmmmmmmm fall.

i want to see across the universe. as much as i dislike beatles songs performed by anyone other than the beatles, i do like evan rachel wood and the psychedelic imagery. i really like to go to the movies, and i probably do it twice a year.

i feel like this entry is lackluster... like i'm just listing shit i've done recently, or would like to do. hmm. contentness makes for boring blogs.

fucking real world.

hey ya'll

i am very tired.
