richmond

alley between lombardy and ryland

tonight, sunday night, i was walking home to my apartment and i was approached by a guy with a disposable camera. he told me he was playing a game with his friends and he only had four pictures left to take and asked if he got naked would a take a picture with him...i said no.



there are some things i really love about this city and some things i just cant handle


making a list of goals for the week and taping it to my wall. gonna stick to 'em

desks

found

going to start posting all my saved internet pictures that have their own folder on my desktop. most are from apartment therapy since i got really obsessed with it last summer and wanted to save all my dream home ideas

fresh

came back to greene for the weekend. its beautiful in the summer here.

about to update my resumé and get cracking on my website

but first better late than never....i love M. Ward




peace+love

purge

after the chaos of graduation and still not knowing what is really instore for my life. (except camp firebelly june 22 -july 1) i felt that its only fitting to start cleaning out the unnecessary from my life.

ok i admit it....i have a lot of...stuff.
ive always held on to things for too long in fear that there may be that one moment in time where i will need something so totally random that if i threw it out i would be distraught. slowly over the years i had gotten over this habit. but maybe it returned? i just cleaned off my bookshelf. a simple task at first but now i have so much trash to take out, things to sell/give away. it feels so good though. just looking over and seeing a few shelves of stuff instead of the mess it was before. i can totally be ok with not having so many things anymore (sadly clothes are still a different story).

fun things

now that school doesnt eat away my time and creative energy i have been able to enjoy some other hobbies

painting being one
tim snapped this of me the other day
i hate my paintings and most of the time cover them up and start new ones
we'll see what happens to this one



also, i really love making mix cds for friends
ive made a few for my best friend for special occasions and to catch her up on all the music i have been diggin
the best part is just making the packaging
shes going away for the summer again to colorado and i had a tough time just picking one song by the bands i was thinking about so i went with a two disk set each cd having a different song by the same band
i went all out made a special case for them and it was fun. i'll try to photograph my other ones sometime










if you want a mix let me know, i really have a lot of fun making these!

words

i am not a huge fan of posting lyrics everywhere
but honestly i love these lines by matty pop chart

"and if everyone does it, well everyone does everything
and if that's why you stop, then you'll never do anything"

a few

things that would be perfect right now:
-tree house/sleeping outside
-matty pop chart on repeat
-painting/drawing
-playing the ukulele
-being disconnected from everything
-not having Coca Cola cravings (i'm giving it up)

its feels like all i have done for the past two weeks is work on my portfolio.
oh wait i have!
its all coming together finally.
i covered the box i built and i really wish i could get the supplies out of midair to re do it. summer project for sure

this song is getting me through the night!
