ethereal ~*

had a little fun today for a minute

we had to take care of some business and then on the way back we decided the weather and scenery was too perfect to pass up so we pulled over and got creative. i really love making ethereal photos. but realistic kinds... playing with common occurrences and warping them into something that seems magic.

tomorrow my dodgeball fantasy comes to life.... the game is really happening! be there at 6 - lyons park. bring your game face. 

yesterday the clouds were SO fluffy and full of character.. i was leaving wyatts apartment and i saw this scene ... tons of power lines in front of all those beautiful clouds and thought it was funky and pretty its in own way. i dont think i've ever mentioned how much i dispise power lines - they give me headaches whenever i am around too many (thats why i prefer mountain living) but this picture just looks COOL to me. this top one is just how it looked to my eyes and then the one right below it is and edited version , whatev.

yesterday i was hangin out with audra & jackie all day . we went down to Folsom and did some shopping.. i am such a boring person. all i got was two tank tops (black & grey) and two leggings (dark grey & light grey) seriously? why do i only buy dark colored clothing? whatever. i tried to find white tops, but they are either see-through or have too much bullshit going on .. like rhinestones or too much lace.. i should just make my own. sheesh. Audra & Jackie are two my oldest best friends... I invited our other best friend Michelle to come but she is such a busy bee these days its hard for all of us to get together... oh the struggles of getting older right?

i got a sweet letter from my soul sister Nell yesterday

it says "not all who wander are lost"

and she drew ME! isnt it amazing? i love it.

yesterday it was warm but breezy... then at night it SNOWED. what the heck?! california... so ridiculous. now today is clear and chilly. oooh the world is a crazy place.

day dreams ~ fantasies

this is my blog. and i'll do what i want to.

i have a list of books i "need". i picture myself having many great books and people coming over to my place, sitting down on a couch that is comfy enough to sleep on, grabbing a book from the shelf or table near by and making a note to self to buy the book for themselves later. for me, when i own my own house the decorations will be bookshelfs.. bookshelfs are essential to me. i love my small bookshelf that i have - my greatgrandmothers - that is crammed full of books and knick-knacks. bookshelves not only hold books but they can hold all my gadgets and randoms, which also, is essential. being as i have a LOT of randoms..

another thing that i need to have ... non matching dishes. i don't want dishes that match. at first i did and i liked it. but then, i decided the things in my life need to more reflect myself. and yeah, dishes matter. as long as they have the same basic-ness i guess.. i can't have totally opposite ends of the spectrum in my cabinets. i think i'd like pottery dishes. i'd also really love to take a pottery class that would be so beyond awesome. i already have a small collection of otagiri mugs that i've been picking up from the thrift store. i love otagiri designs.

next point of interest. i'd like a python. a very well contained one, because i can't have my precious anouk being eaten. i would be so mad and sad. snakes don't gross me out. they are so soft and amazing. i would just love to hold it and let it slide around and hang out. sometimes. now that i am saying this i am thinking of situations where i wouldnt be too happy to run into my pet slithering around freely. hm.

a pool and a hottub. with a perfect view of the sky. some shade maybe off in a corner. but who needs it when youre swimming. the hottub would be used mainly at night to relax and look at the stars during meteor showers and whatnot. speaking of, when is the next scheduled meteor shower? i'll never forget watching one with lora & molly 3 or 4 years ago on my back porch.. molly ran to her car to get something and missed the biggest shooting star EVER. lora and i screamed and couldn't get over it and molly was so sad she missed it. always in my memory, things like that.

CALIFORNIA

here i am. back at home. my cat is so precious and cuddled with me this morning i love her so much. its beautiful outside my window - still as green as can be. there is a vine creeping up my gate and into my flower boxes. there is a pretty 'welcome home' vase with flowers from my moms garden on my table with a big white yummy sweet smelling peony in it. my room is untouched - except for my closet which i had to re-organize because my sister had at it while i was away & apparently she doesn't know how to properly put away clothes in the right fashion... my suitcase is unpacked but will soon be re-packed for my trip to virginia on wednesday. (much smaller suitcase tho) i have a photoshoot today at 11:30, back to work back to the life.

my utah trip was so nice. i didn't do a lot of what i had planned - but that always happens. the main thing is is that i had fun with what i did do.

i had fun with joanna too - my bunkbuddy. her bed is the most comfortable thing probably ever. i didn't want to move for days when i was on her bed. we somehow didn't get any photos together. i don't know how that happens. oh well. next time. i helped joanna & allison move into their new apartment.. its IDENTICAL to my old one. just with light blue walls & a couple different things like stove & sink. it made me miss my old place so much. i really want to move back to utah. i'm just not done there yet! i think maybe i'll transfer to the U for my medical stuff cause they have a really good program. but first i gotta finish up here in california! so i won't move back for a while. maybe summer or fall 2010.


i need more money. i want to buy a really nice camera. & i want to start saving up big time for a serious move. it'll be hard.. but i need to do it.
anyway. hi blog world.

beautiful

analyzing how we experience the world.

we experience things at one million miles an hour – everything that finds its way through our sensory channels leaves an impression – a mark on a page of our autobiography – our collection slowly builds who people see.


physical emphasis – validating the flesh – the familiar – the obvious – recharge the mystery of being a being – disconnect from recognition – lose yourself in abstraction




the void of body worship – a drunkenness of sorts – envelop – fall in, the thickness, the blindness – a simulation that floats the boat in the ocean – realizing that there are very few regions in the realm we often exist in – repetitions with in a limited language of communication – realizing that i want to speak so much more clearly with out saying anything – without even moving – by means of signals channeled through parallels – a language broken down to symbols and elemental particles – a blink of an eye pauses everything i know – an eternity is reserved for me to receive the messages with absolute clarity

to hear myself talk – validate, solidify my understanding of my collective reality – built from eventful days, starry nights and adventurous weekends with amazing people.

i’s a big world for a single person with big ambitions – but then the world shrinks into full view.

do everything as a professional.

beauty in all forms

books, music, flowers, and perfume are typical delights. promote peace & harmony, & will invariably opt to bypass hostile confrontations whenever some equally effective method can be employed. most ready to tolerate the beloveds failings. honesty, fairness, and justice. fast travelers; the sharks. trying to be all things to all people, there is a general impression : indecisive. affectionate, warmhearted, sentimental, naturally optimistic - everything to please. talent for making people feel at ease. will find ways to succeed one way or another. using wit & charm. tennis, hiking, horseback riding, skating, & aerobics. the most desirable. need to be liked. mellowness & sense of relaxation in the air. won't hesitate to walk away; with no further explanation or thought of returning. solve the matter then and there. elegance, charm & good taste, naturally kind, very gentle, & lovers of beauty, harmony & pleasures that these bring.
