brag braggy brag.

oooooookay so i feel lame even saying this but also i'm so excited! i went over to my friend ethan's house last night to do a little test shoot just because i haven't done a shoot in quite some time. the photos turned out so fun! he put one of them on his flickr account, and less than 24 hours later, it had more than 700 views and 64 favorites, and made it to the front page!

one what this week?

bon soir! so since it's sunday, i figured i would follow in shirley's footsteps and make a ten-things-i'm-grateful-for-this-week blog.

10. SHIRLEY.
simple enough, it was her idea and she's such a lovely friend. you are mi italiano amore (i dont even know if thats correct?) but i love you. you life-inspire-er. you are my level-headed keep-me-on-track friend. you keep my feet on the ground and me laughing all day. ah! you're so great!


9. HANS.
'nuff said, hans is awesome. he's saved my life on more than one occasion and can always make me feel better about my situation by making fun of it. he talks to me on teh webcamz and shows me his funny hipster sleeveless shirts.



8. MY KITTY.
at this moment, she rests her face on my forearm and sleeps in my lap. darling darling baby, i love you more than most people. you get things, you know? understand when i'm sad, and love to play and cuddle when i'm happy. lovely little thing, you are the best thing in my life hands down.


7. MY MOM.
i'm not one of those kids who's in a hurry to move out so quickly. i love my parents, and they're cool with pretty much anything i want to do. my mother made me noodles with alfredo last night just because i mentioned i was craving italian, and took me to olive garden tonight, for no reason at all. these gestures mean more to me than you know, mommy, and i love you with all my heart. the most amazing woman i've ever met, and i'm so proud to be yours. love love love.


6. RANDI.
always always randi on the list. for being there for me in moments of crisis and happiness. willing to drop everything for me. ditch the boys and be with me. play dungeons and dragons with me and then talk trendy fashion the next. sea creature. i love you. thank you. for always being there.


5. MARION COTILLARD.
love her movies, love her face, love her acting. ahhh. favorite actress hands down. thank you for helping me escape the real world for a few hours at a time. enthralling performances. merci mon ami.


4. SHANE BOY.
no photo for this one (sad face) but...perhaps soon. i've been spending time with this boy lately, and his hippie ways are indescribably refreshing. thank you, new friend, for being so understanding, soooo sweet, and so good at listening.

3. MY BED.
the bed of gods. this is where you sleep in heaven. after undergoing a wonderful makeover, new sheets, new comforter, the works; my bed is now the most comfortable. making it impossible for me to get out of bed in the morning but ahhhh. feels so good.

2. NEW PAPER.
i'm a sucker for paper. after spending 15 dollars at the craft supply store, i finally have beautiful paper to write letters on. anyone wanting some snail mail, please contact me immediately. i love paper.

1. TOMORROW.
thank you life, for letting me live another day. i love light, sun, air, and warmth. i love people. i can't wait for tomorrow. mmm. more days. good and bad. i am grateful. i am grateful.

fabuleux destin

mon destin? voyage à la France. pas de questions. pour trouver l'amour. la définition de «romantisme français». je économiser mon argent. ce pays demande à moi. J'apprends la langue, et ne peut pas se concentrer sur autre chose. Je ne suis pas religieux, mais s'il vous plaît, priez pour moi. merci. <3
je viens ici!

snips, snails & puppy dog tails.

thank god for those damn boys. without them, i'd be hanging out with nobody. my friends seem to be...absent. lately. maybe its me. or maybe its everyone else that's crazy. either way, my dear friends don't show their faces around much anymore. why not? please tell me. i'd like you back.

Sagittarius:

The best guide in life is strength - quotes Swami Vivekananda.
Discard everything that weakens you, have nothing to do with it. In accordance with astrological omens, I'm making that your rallying cry. You not only have right to align yourself with only the most potent, life giving sources, you have an urgent need to do so. So be audaciously discerning as you evaluate each person and situation that comes before you. Ask - will this feed my vitality, or will it not?

today...

this is what made my day. tsss.

life lately:

• finally got new sheets for my bed. no more animal habitat. coral blankets. a light reddish hue to warm things up a bit.
• new polka-dot undies and a new ring, just because :)
• one night with a very sweet boy
• one afternoon coffee with a very wonderful sister and a very wonderful niko
• antique flea market goodies up the ying yang. $20 goes far; makes for a very happy jordan
• a pin-tuck pillow
• kisses on cheeks
• photobooths
• dungeons and dragons on friday nights
• saving money
• learning french
• sketches
• gypsy shoes and polka dot skirts from D.I.

just living has it's advantages sometimes :)

feeling a little blue.

It's done. Hair is cut and very bluish greenish. Letting go feels good.
