California

Woah I haven't posted since Febuary! I've been seeing this boy from work since around then so he is my excuse. He's smarter than me and a gentleman and has nice eyes :) I left him in Boston for 2 weeks while I visited friends in Cali and here are some of my vacation pics. My favorites were driving along the PCH, visiting Hearst castle (aka Xanadu), saluting the sun (outdoor yoga), eating hash brownies and walking around the sf moma, strolling through Carmel by the sea and just reconnecting with my friends via constant weed smoking/cooking/eating. I miss you guys so much!!!! <3<3<3

Caroline and I have been friends for over ten years now! Knowing that I get to see her every Sunday really helps get me through the week. We used to spend our day in the darkroom but I haven't shot any film months so I don't have anything to work on, which is not good. I really need to set rules for myself like that I have to shoot 2 rolls+ a week or something. Technically, I do photography stuff all week for Etsy and Kennedy's blog but I'm not getting as much satisfaction out of it as I would like. Maybe I haven't gotten a hang of my digital camera yet or maybe its because we're always rushing but I don't feel like I'm producing very much that I can really be proud of. I'm probably being too hard on myself but I just want everything to be perfect! Ah well, time to look for something to watch on Netflix and get comfy in bed.
Happy birthday Kennedy!

new wednesdays

From now on, Kennedy and I will be going to my parents' house on wednesdays to hang out with my recently retired mom, eat gourmet meals, do laundry and drive to cheaper, less picked over thrift stores. Usually, we put all of our money into the store but since these places have so much for so cheap we were able to buy some things for ourselves for once. I lost a fair amount of weight in 09' so I had to get rid of 80% of my clothes and now I'm freaking out because there is almost nothing left and I need to get ready for spring! This wednesday I got a pair of black denim short shorts, a long super-thin plaid shirt, a red/white striped turtleneck, a long cotton black dress, a turquoise sweater vest and a lacey white undershirt which I will wear with a black bra and jeans all summer long. I can't wait to see what joys this wednesday will bring.

some girls get what they want

I know my hair is drying up and I probably won't ever see my true color again but WHATEVAH blond hair rules (as you can see).

ok here come some cat pictures

My cat was teeeny tiny once but now he's a fat disgrace. Whenever I put food out for the black one, he runs up and pushes her out of the way and tries to eat it all before she can get to it. He has no respect. I put him on healthy organic cat food but he looks just as fat now as he did before. Sometimes I get so mad at him that I run over and make intimidating sounds and stomp my feet and then stare him down (because thats what they say to do when you want to establish that you are the dominant beast) but I don't think he really gets it...he just looks scared and confused. He grew up to be a great pillow though <3

Lately I've been sleeping until 1 or 2pm, going to work/thrifting, lying down to go to sleep at around midnight, getting up to watch tv at 2am b/c I can't sleep and then finally drifting off at 6 or so. and repeat. I'm hoping to fall asleep before 3 tonight because I have a big day tomorrow and I need a little bit of daylight to maintain my mental health. Also, I have 2 HUGE crushes right now but I can't bring myself to talk to either of them. bleh.

kennedy got me this shirt last winter and I forgot about it until now. I think she's responsible for 90% of my clothes at this point.
I spent midnight on new years at work and then forced myself to go to a party afterwards for half an hour so I could feel like I celebrated a little bit. It was cold and treacherous and impossible to find a cab but it felt really good to get out. I saw soooooo many dudes carrying their sloppy drunk girlfriends home (a depressing/hilarious sight). These girls were all so completely hammered they could barely move their legs and at least half of them were quietly sobbing. Nothing worse than a drunk girlfriend...?
