Sorry for the photo lapse, guys. It's been crazy busy and I'm trying to keep up!

Shawnee and Alison came over last night. Got some panther joose before babe's karaoke. because yeah, we got it like that.

tonight was our last cosmetology class for the semester. we have one more semester to go. tonight we had a last class party, and we also went to another classroom where 2nd semester students had placed their final projects. our class got to vote on them! Unfortunately, the winner didn't make it into the photo frame, but it included lots of finger waves, glitter hairspray, spiral curls and a fake monroe rhinestone piercing. oh, i can't wait for next semester!

after today, this is what i did. balanced my wine glass on the wine bottle, and posed with it. yeah.

i miss some of my friends. i miss you girls.. i wish we could all hang out again and have things be okay. hopefully, someday. until then, i'm doing everything i can to live right by myself and everyone else. it's a constant learning process.

i will be hanging out with some other friends this week that i don't see much, and i'm really excited. things could be worse.

too tired to take a photo of anything. sorry there's a canned one for today.

stayed up way too late to make a pumpkin pie for thanksgiving dinner #2 at dad's tonight. it's right after work so i had to make the dessert last night. i was carrying it, perfectly browned and amazing, to the fridge when the pie pan crumbled under my hands. words cannot describe how upset i was. it's probably sad that i was that angry.

I have some updates but right now I need to make half-moon fried pies for a Thanksgiving potluck tonight!

So, quickly... my friend in NC is doing a photo-a-day and I decided to do it too.

Keep track of hers here: scantron's blog.

and keep track of mine on this here blog.

just got off work.

low hums.

i'm taking a break.

a life detox.

seeeee ya.

doomore

i need to get shit done.

i know i have friends, i can do that. now where's my substance?

time to lay the gridwork for some serious shit.

first on my list?

baking.

okay. after the baking. sewing. cleaning. reading. learning. making tiny differences.

i'm always reminded how fleeting and decisive first impressions are. i'm going to focus the energy i've recently been using to wonder about people and their interactions with me into productivity instead. so few people know me how i feel i am.

and so, we bake!

(and below... fuckin' story of my life. why don't i feel i ever have time for anything?)

thick skin

stokin' over...

one i liked today:



i'm simultaneously becoming more romantic and more suspicious.

birthday shh. birthday shh.

tell me how it makes any sense to play the fray on "Blazin' 97 - your #1 station for hiphop and r&b".

not okay.

after three hours of sleep and working and schooling all day, i really just don't appreciate this joke of a radio station. i have a shitty raunchy hiphop/r&b quota to fill here, people.

all i want

is for everyone to be happy.

sucks that i can't personally make that happen. sucks worse when i feel partly responsible for making people unhappy when i feel the circumstances are out of my control, short of me not having fun.

and i have to have fun. good, fairly clean fun.

sorry dudes. you know i try rill hard.

all i want

is to have all my friends from last night write their own blog entry. not one person involved had a tame night. damn propriety and its limitations.

my friends are the fuckin' best (yeah i play the drake song and think of them) and they know how to have fun. i live for those dudes.

i really wish my eyes were a camera and i could show some images from rva pride '09. the not-parade parade was a disappointment. i wish we could bring it back to carytown. it was at babe's where everyone pulled out the stops. sofuckingtight.

anyway, if you weren't there, it's probably time to be bummed.

and now for my last week working in guest services. sunday i officially start touching people's heads for a living.

LML

with a handshake like that, girl.
