  • Okay, so my digital media teacher is totally awesome. I mentioned that he's the son of my 2-D design teacher from this summer, right? So that's cool. And this guy is way cool. When he walked into the room, I was like…

  • So yeah. About yesterday. Lauren and I waited outside what we thought was the right classroom with our new friend Shelly until 8:05, then decided to go around the corner and check. Sure enough, that's where the cla…

  • Well, aside from getting lost, not being able to open my locker, getting lost again, and discovering that I'd been trying to open the wrong locker all along, the first two days of school have been surprisingly okay. …

  • Rennfest was great. We saw the Rogues play, and it was awesome. First they played a song I didn't recognize, then Nelson said, "Any requests? Besides 'Get off the stage'?" And I yelled, "GRAVEL WALK!" and a few people…

  • Okay, so I changed the heading to blatantly stolen Ani Difranco lyrics. Oh well. I love that song. I'm going to Rennfest today with Greg! Yay. For those of you who aren't from 'round here, the Maryland Renaissance Fe…

  • Well, I have all the school supplies I think I'm going to need. Notebooks, pens, paper, folders, a binder for the folders, and a new binder for my negatives because the old one barely fits them all. And dividers for m…

  • Busy day today. For one thing, it's Gracie's birthday (she's fourteen, gah! I can't believe it!). And she's got high school orientation this morning. Also, Gary's having a going-away-party-type-thing at noon, the Rous…

  • So yesterday, I spent an hour and a half talking on the phone with Matt, my ex-boyfriend. Kind of weird, but oddly, it was alright. We just talked about how his summer went and how my summer went, and which colleges …

  • If you want to see my gorgeous photos of Meredith, go to: http://www.flickr.com/photos/movetheclouds/ I ordered a few 5x7s at Target and some wallets of the best one, so that her parents can have copies as well. Yay.…

  • My copy of "Phobia," Breaking Benjamin's latest release that came out two weeks ago, has STILL not arrived. I'm very angry. I've been tracking the package, and this morning it was scanned at a center in Kensington, MD…

  • Waiting for Greg to get here. We're going to make a run to Blockbuster and return the movies we rented, then come home and watch one of the ones I picked up from the library, possibly "Sybil" with Sally Field, which h…

  • I got paid! Yay! And I bought clasps and wire and beads and thread! Yay! But now I have to wait until it all gets here. *pout* And my new Breaking Benjamin album was supposed to arrive on Monday, and it's still not he…

  • I have to go to work in about twenty minutes. I really don't want to go to work, but at least this is the night (Wednesday night) that all my friends are there: Christine, Kristen and Dee. Fun times in the workroom. A…

  • Gah! I can't wait until I get paid. I have about seventy dollars worth of bead stuff in my shopping cart at Shipwreck Beads (I don't even KNOW how much shipping is going to cost) and I have to wait until I get paid to…

  • That was fun. Only about six or seven people total, but it was still fun. Julia had never seen Izzard before, so it was really fun to see her reaction. ("Italians are into football and life, and they're not fascists! …

  • We've got chips, we've got dip, we've got Baked Cheetos (those things are amazing), we've got cookies, we've got those new dark chocolate M&M's, and we've got home-made cupcakes. Oh, and soda. And we're ready to part…

  • I've had a rather productive morning. I finally watched the end of my brand-new copy of "V for Vendetta" (it always makes me cry). I finished off a twisty, multi-strand, iridescent choker and decided to make another …

  • So I've been a bit obsessive about this Marilyn Monroe costume. (Yes, Halloween is my favorite holiday. And yes, I do start getting excited about it around July/August.) Forgive me for boring you or anything, but I ha…

  • Today was the last day of my summer 2D design class, so I thought I'd post photos of my final projects. Remember "Grace"? Remember the "lines" version of "Grace"? Well, here's the "dots" version of "Grace," usin…

  • ANY MORE TAKERS FOR THE IZZARD-FEST?? This is the guest list so far, and it's tiny. ~ Orri ~ Diana ~ Ro (?) ~ Emily (?) I'll make some calls and see if I can get Molly and Stef onboard, but if it's gonna be su…

  • So I've been getting a bit obsessive with the whole Facebook thing. I've added TONS of Firefly quotes to my profile, and joined like 40 different groups, most of them having to do with music. So yeah. And Gracie ha…

  • So I've decided that if I just wear a long, strapless, clingy prom dress, some jewelry, and maybe some long gloves, I could conceivably be Marilyn Monroe for Halloween. After that, all I need is the wig. Hmm. Aside…

  • IZZARD PARTY!! Rumors confirmed! Next Friday, the 11th of August, at my house at 1PM, there will be a party! We'll watch Eddie Izzard's "Dress to Kill" and "Glorious." Snacks, etc. will be provided (but no actual lu…
