I fell off my name ..

ok .. blog post .. tried this a few times over the weekend, here we go ..

I am in sort of a light place and a dark place right now. Some hope was diminished but then some sprang up in a new place .. Let's vague that up, shall we?

I was on a creative streak and then something difficult happened and it just added fuel to the fire. Which is exciting finding inspiration in pain and darkness .. I just need to stop being afraid of the world and start being honest with myself ..

There is one thing we've got going and it's the only thing worth knowing. It's got lots to do with magnets and the pull of the moon - Frightened Rabbit


I loved you before the winter came - Noddy


Are we gonna have it out?
Are you gonna throw your punch?
Lose your pretty cool
Cause I will make you sorry
I'm gonna make you sorry

But, baby, I'm yours ..

Man Plus


How the hell could I have guessed that you meant no when you said yes?
I am a fool for loving you ..

To the times when it was quiet and all we could do was gaze at one another. At least it was quiet in my head. Now it is so fucking loud in here .. This is the storm after the calm.


Out of pain and sorrow, I make beauty with my bare hands ..

Some recent photos and song lyrics that have moved me .. Also, some poetry of my own .. I can't wait to go home and paint ..

oh and new hair color! You can't really see it here ..


xoxo

I wish I had more hair ..

I mean I wish it was thicker .. or that I had more .. well, it makes sense in my head ..

So ..

Good-bye beautiful Fall ..






Hello harsh Winter ..




So it is freezing cold in Seattle .. No snow yet .. fingers crossed we don't get any for awhile .. Due to the fact I moved to a different part of town and am WAY farther from work, commuting will be a challenge in snow .. I need to map out a back way with not so many hills. It isn't as if I am not capable of driving in snow, I mean, I grew up in Montana. It is just that this city freaks out when it snows and they don't handle it well .. plus, you know , hills .. lots and lots of steep steep hills.

Had a good weekend .. Productive, very productive. Went to two holiday parties, the first was super fun .. Tracy made her apartment very festive complete with mulled wine and whiskey cider, I did not partake in either however. Took some classic photos though ..



I did A TON of cleaning and organizing, I even moved furniture to clean behind it. My bedroom closet is almost back in order, I was looking at it thinking, "Why are there so many empty hangers?" and then remembered I still have bags of clothes in Martha's car from our laundromat adventure a month ago. Ugh. So far I have a big box and two big garbage bags full for donation with a couple other things I put directly in the car. It feels good, very good, to have more room in my tiny house.

Oh! and I bought a new AWESOME purse at Atlas Clothing! I had to contemplate it beforehand but love it more everytime I look at it .. I will take some photos.

I am sneezy today .. allergies .. annoying ..

Tomorrow hopefully I will be taking a much needed walk around Green Lake with a good friend and maybe get some skate park shots ..


















Here's hoping ..

My life in iPhone photos .. Vol. 1

I got this idea from Elsie and her cell phone photo post.

These are all since I bought my iPhone in March? Some are the original, some are edited with apps ..


This was the day I bought my phone, I also made a stop at Bath and Body Works and bought my favorite scent in bubble bath form. This became a bad habit, tweeting in the tub. I never dropped my phone *knock on wood* thankfully ..
