Habits

Things I tend to do out of habit: bite my nails(yeah it is gross). Yoga, exercise, drink tea, distract myself with trivial problems usually involving the opposite gender.
I think thats why I like dramatic/emotional people to make up for my lack of it.

I'm addicted to being happy, I don't like having bad days or being upset so I just don't do it sometimes, honestly my problems are pretty minimal and there isn't a reason to be overly upset.

I want to do a trip and make it like Thelma and Louise style. I also should make a movie about me and my life.



this sounds good

New Beginning

It's so easy for me to leave and start over but I'm doing the one thing that I am bad at. STAYING

I can't seem to sit still and build, I always need to change and do something new.
Well I've done all the new things I can think of and now I'm back at the beginning. Having learned a hard lesson. It's time to grow up just a little bit and build instead of destroy.

Go through with instead of come out of a situation.
Give up to choicelessness
Open myself up to a world of understanding I didn't know
Explore the new me whose walls have been left down
Whom cannot even recognize the reflection anymore

Andy Warhol Says, " You got your 15 minutes"

The original quote goes as the following, "In the future everybody will be world-famous for 15 minutes."

I went to the Andy Warhol Museum today and snapped a few pictures. Including things I wasn't supposed to :)



Then I walked downtown and got lunch and a Java Chip Frap so I could get a bunch of Itunes cards.

Went Bowling with Val and Maaz and went back home with Val and watched A Mighty Heart.

The previous movies we have watched together include: Third Wheel (terrible), Running with Scissors (not bad), The Pursuit of Happiness (Really Good), Brokeback Mountain (also terrible, really overrated and couldn't understand most of what they said)

And we have also been watching Rock of Love together lol

PJ Harvey just performed, Grow Grow Grow on Jay Leno it was awesome.

Update

Scratch that can't go to school right now its too expensive. I'm not going to slack off here but damn there must be a reason why this is so hard for me because when things work out thats because they are supposed to.

"We must respond to omens"

"It's called the principle of favorability, beginners luck. Because life wants you to achieve your Personal Legend"

"You must always know what you want"

"Language of Words"


I cannot live with roommates again the thought makes me shiver. I can't deal with this crap anymore. I have a job interview today and last night a really interesting offer came my way. I'm really thinking about it depending on its validity or not.

I want a job that requires me to travel a lot or at least takes me to new landscape.

New job needed
Budget

I expect too much of myself, I'm really hard on myself, I just want to be able to do everything, I have to learn patience.

I am going through a real transistion now, it seemed kinda half-assed before; I was pretty close but I couldn't keep the momentum going. At least I can recall what it was like to be able to feed myself and live well.

Coming up ROSES....

Bithday Massacre SHOW September 9th SUNDAY
METRIC September 25th TUESDAY

Yay shows

There was a party at the place I am staying at last night, it was noize/hardcore/beats etc. Good Stuff

Ended out on a good note.

Half the Battle

I had a very productive awesome day.

Today when I was at work a co-worker bought me a brownie 

I have been walking home most days and I really enjoy it, its really good exercise.
It’s a 45 minute/ 3 mile walk and I don’t mind it at all, especially since it’s been really nice outside.

Doing laundry tonight and did some yoga while listening to PJ Harvey.

Looking for Studios because I need to live alone after all the drama/crazy/weird/dirty roommates I’ve lived with.


Now I’m listening to The Cure-Disintegration, I haven’t listened to this particular album probably since I was in high school/early college. A lot of people say this is their favorite album but I don’t think it’s the best; I prefer Pornography or even Faith.

As far as reading goes; I am still reading, The Unauthorized Biography of Siouxsie and the Banshees, The Female Brain and I just started reading The Alchemist.

Eating Curry so YUMMY

I will be co-hosting an art exhibition in a few months.

More details soon and more things in the works!

Labyrinth of Life

Went to Transfer Tuesday and it went well.
Tomorrow I am sending the fax to obtain copy of official transcript.
What I am thinking for Majors/Minors is Bachelors in Sociology with a minor in Fine Arts, and then I can take classes at the Art Institute.

Since I joined OMP have had 8 offers for photo shoots. Which is awesome cause it hasn't even been a week.

I am starting the Master Cleanse Friday can't wait.
Next Tuesday I will resume my Belly dancing classes.
Bally's is cheaper than the gym by my apartment and there is an LA Fitness opening up near me also.

Anyway I feel better having recovered from whatever that was I had a few days ago.

Driven by the Snow

Things I did lately:

Went to see Rasputina, I’ve now seen them 4 times! Once in Orlando, Twice in Boston and Once in Chicago. Watched DVDs from the Library, one on Howard Hughes, another one on visiting New Zealand and The Plague. Almost finished reading this book, Smashed. I should be full-time by next month. Got an awesome email from a company based in Toronto. When I lived there I applied for a few different modeling things and one just came up the other day. They want me to go there for a Fit Test and possibly a photo shoot. I ordered a cord for my roommates camera so I can upload images to the computer but I haven’t received it yet. I dropped off my shoes to be repaired they are rare and comfortable shoes. I also bought stamps, damn they are expensive.

I still have plenty of things to do believe me.
