| Hi myownw0rld! It's been 1257 (wow, that's a big number) days since you joined Xanga
sweet. thats a damn long time.
so i just wanted to say a few updates
1. even though marching season ended a while ago. i just wanted to
remind myself of how awesome this season was. straight first in classes
for guard. oh hell yes. good season
2. i still need to apply to college. i have Kennesaw State, Savannah
College of Art and Design, and Parsons the New school of Design lined
up. those are my final three i promise. I just have to convince my
parents to let me apply to the art schools. they still don't think
fashion design is a good idea, but really, theres nothing else that i
want to do with the rest of my life. i've never felt so nice and
talented like when i sew. its just a natural gift. i want to go to
college and enhance that (especially my drawing skills eek) and make it
big. BIG. thats right.
3. this actually goes along with 2. i need to create my portfolio.
which means that i need to take pictures of my dresses. which also
means i need models. id like to take my pictures outside. so, anyone
immune to cold?
4. my hair keeps changing without me noticing, oh goodness. i felt like
ive gone in a circle with my hair, hahaha. i started off with my crazy
bangs hair, then went through the rainbow and now im back to the bangs.
weird
5. im going to New York City on the 24th! I will be back on the 1st.
but at like, 10 pm. I have never been so excited to go to New York.
Hopefully i get to check out parsons, get a campus tour and such. :).
and I'm just ready to take a break from duluth. most of duluth has just
been overwhelming. i need a break!
6. what a rollercoaster life. i have such crazy high and low points. a
few loops, you know, where you think things are going really up, but
then your like oh shit im going back to where i was before. yeah that
kinda deal. right now? i'm going on one of those uphill ramps. i'm
happy with that. hopefully it'll never go down, hah.
7. i just really want to get to number ten.
8. you know what? this afternoon. im sketching. without a template. i
really need to expand my portfolio to sketches. i need to be
impressive! i want to get in to Parsons! i know i have the
determination. oh my goodness, do i. i'm so ready. AHH ill sketch after
i hit ten
9. so this girl at my work said i should be a japanese model. i dont
even have japanese blood in me. no where in me. hah. silly people.
interesting. i'm kindof sick of people telling me to be a model. yeah.
i have the jaw structure. thats it. oh, and im tall and skinny. thats
hot. i dont want to model. for some reason people dont understand that
10. oh yes i hit ten. im not sure what to say here. um. anyone know of any good shows coming up?

| so mats is off to texas. i guess ill update on my summer since, well at
least for me, my spastic plans are coming to a close. so...
first i was in amsterdam.
that was really neat, although i wish i didnt go with parents. but all
the sights were interesting anyway. i will always miss those belgium
waffles. ohhh soo delicious.
then mats went to cancun,
and i pretty much layed out in the sun that entire time. got a good
tan, but i still didnt beat him grr! but you couldn't believe how happy
i was just to have him back home with me. two weeks is two long. hah.
when he came back, we basically had three weeks of hanging out.
it was nice, i got to see him most of the days! i was working, then he
started working towards the end, and tadah, we lost all our time since
our schedules are complete opposites. we did have some unique days,
like going to helen, ga, going to six fla--wait that wasnt with him, he
couldnt go. well there was unique days.
july comes and that mainly brings the fourth of july,
where we went to my aunts and had a cookout, then went over to mats's's
house and shot off some fireworks. the really big ones. it was amazing.
the three days after that mats worked full days and i worked a bit and sat around a bit.
so i didnt get to see him for more than an hour any of those days.
which made me really really sad cause he left for texas on saturday,
and wont be back till sunday, most likely late at night.
as for me, ill be commuting during the weekdays to scad-atlanta for
their summer seminar. im taking a course in fashion design and web
design, im very excited! at least im preoccupied while hes gone.
when he gets back, we have a week. and during that week is our 6 month!!!
i love him so much, and i cant believe its been half a year geez. but
we'll be lookin nice and going to eat at the melting pot, then off to
see a movie at the drive-in theater. tres amazing. so im spending most
of the time with mats again, because the week after i have band camp
for two weeks. yup. my last bandcamp. i'll be in full blast for this.
our show is "world fusion". basically the most randomly
dont-go-well-together songs put unto 10 minutes of on-field show time.
i dont like the guards uniform, i think its really tacky, but its a lot
better than last year so i wont complain. they coulda saved money with
me though cough cough. anyway :) during band camp ill basically have
dinner at mats every day, then the sunday we have off ill be going to a
wedding with my old
friend vince. i havent seen him in ages so this is very neat. the last
time i went to a wedding was in...5th grade i think. im stoked.
pretty much just when band camp gets out, ill be leaving for florida
with my parents, mats, and jimmy. which i am UBERLY STOKED ABOUT. on
the beach with mats, how romantic, and then seeing jimmys reaction
after he gets stung by a jellyfish or something, no im kidding, but we
are going to make the most wicked sandcastle that i have ever made.
hahaha. thats not saying much.
yup. then school starts and summer is over
interesting? yeah id say so.
| | |
| hmm. so why did this die out.
| | |
| i would just like to say, that im very happy
at least with my life. im not exactly sure what direction its going in, but im hoping to find out soon.
this summer is going to be nice. i have the best boyfriend i can
imagine, a few great friends, a job, and my final year of bandcamp.
maybe even the beach, who knows.
im hoping for a lot this summer, and im sure it will be :)
and me and mats; we're great,fantastic, special. ive never been
happier, and im so glad to have him in my life :) i know he'll always
be there for me!
oh and im changing my hair wednesday. yup, time for a change, just like my life.
