you don't even know it

you're the kind of friend that makes me go crazy when i don't talk to you. and you don't even know it.

I dreamt of your new tattoo last night, i suppose it has much to do with me watching hours of LA INK. You know how I feel about tattoos, I really hope you didn't get one... Sometimes it drives me crazy that I can't talk to you, I want to send you text this second at 5:55am, but only I can't. My phone is dead and I broke my charger. How much longer must we be this way? I really hope you didn't get that silly tattoo. And I really wish we could always be friends.

ps. i really hate that tattoo you got.

friends don't make you shower.

this, like many randoms, came up in lady c's and my 2 hour conversation today. and it is true. a friend will love you forever and for whatever and all reasons. you see, chelly use to try and make me shower but then we just came to understand each other and love each other. now canada (lady c aka chelsea) doesn't shower often. and now we are best of friends and we understand that friends don't make you shower. and when someone says you can be friends with one condition, "you need to start showering" you simply say, "forget it. i don't know why i even wanted to be friends with you in the first place" enough said and walk away.

with little penny in her arms!!

oh i wish i was a rockstar. Just like these peeps. Yes, i did find them on the i-net, yes you can call me a creeper. But I don't creep them for creepy reasons, I somehow am lead to these wondrous ppl on the i-net who inspire me in many ways. It's meant to be!
Summer is coming to an end, indeed. about a month left of work, and 2 months before school starts but for some reason doesn't seem too far from me. Im excited!!
Oh and i think im getting on etsy soon and see if any of my creations, headbands, sell. ya neva know!
PEACE!

b&w photog

Above, is my polytoned holga print. It's also one of my favorites! Besides my handcolored balloon photo.
Night photog is fun. This photo was taken at midnight, and it was a lucky shot. FREEZING is what i mostly remember. When exposing paper i put fabric over paper giving it this cool look.


Negatives to my series assignment, which totally rocked!

Carisa, who allowed me to practice with her.

All were part of my final portfolio, which was a beautiful hit!! I finally connected a scanner to my laptop to begin to take apart my folders and portfolios

summer, peaches, boys in books.

1. The Secret Life of Bees
2. Forever in Blue(4th Sisterhood of Traveling Pants)
3. Lock And Key
4. The Body Shaping Diet
5. My Sisters Keeper
6. Peaches

Books I've read this summer. I might be missing one other. 4 out of the 6, so far are all about boys and summer thrills. So fun to read. Its fun to feel and remember what it was like to be a little girl with crazy, throbbing, confusing feelings for dumb boys. It's also weird to be sharing these books with little natalie. but for the most part, they make me happy and natalie and i get to share something together. Now im reading Love and Peaches.
