With school going on and actually getting invited places I haven't really had time to finish any of my projects or take pictures of previous ones. I swear they'll come sometime soon! The weeks go by way too fast now and I never feel like I accomplished anything.
I found this picture a while back, but I love it.
Everything about it really.
I like the yellow of her dress, I love the dress itself. The effect on the picture like it's realy old or partly sketched or something makes it awesome and I love the castle in the background. Almost a modernized Cinderella picture.
I've been putting off getting a guitar string for the longest time. Because of that I haven't been playing much and my fingers are going soft again. I'm sure I'll get around to it... sometime. I swear, I'm a hardcore procrastinator. One of the best out there.
So, I dont know how long Yeah Yeah Yeahs have had their newest album, It's Blitz!, out but I recently got it and I was pleasantly surprised. It took me off guard to find that the majority of the album is very chilled out. Other than Heads Will Roll, which is a really great song, they are all very low key in comparison to their past albums which had very angsty lyrics and overall was like that. Now, many friends of mine have said that they think its way more mainstream and what public wants. But hey, I'm the public right? and I like it a lot.
Aight so, right now I'm listening to some indie band on myspace.
http://www.myspace.com/sweatshopkid <--- Check it . So, this band "Sweatshop Kid" is pretty fan-freakin-tastic. I don't really "know" these kids but I have some mutual friends involved. Which I think is pretty tight.
I've been really busy this past week. Currently I'm taking all online courses so I can plan my days out if I somehow have plans for the weekend. This past week was exactly that. I did about a fulls week worth of work on Wednesday so I could enjoy my weekend without homework nagging the ends of my brain. I shouldn't forget to mention what a whirlwind my weekend was. Friday was the first party I've left early because there was too much underage drinking. It just wasn't a great place to be, so my friend and our cargroup left early. It was fun while it lasted, right? I enjoy making new friends. Though it makes me kind of anxious, I feel as if I'm venturing into new territory. Growing up I never had many friends so a lot of it is new to me. But it's very exciting, and I love it.
I've been talking a lot about traveling lately with friends. It's starting to drive me insane. Plus, the weather here is so dreary that I long for warm weather. Honestly, I feel like a plant that starts to wither without sunlight.
Currently I have my sights set on Florida. Mainly because I have been there before AND one of my best friends is from there. I'm going to make her take me next time she goes. It's warm all year round (minus this crazy weather they're having right now) and thats perfect for me! I also hear they get some pretty fantastic lightning storms which would be awesome to see.
I'm starting to count all the places I want to go, and in comparison to my work situation it's pretty pathetic. I'd like to go to:
1. The whole United Kingdom
2. Spain
3. Italy
4. Greece
5. Yugoslavian peninsula (is it still called that?)
6. Italian countryside
7. Middle east (Isreal, Lebanon)
8. South Africa
9. Australia/New Zealand
10. South America (primarily Argentina)
Work situation = Non-existant.
I need a job. STAT. Another one of my best friends just got a job today. I am SOOOO happy for her. Things are starting to look up. It gives me hope that things can work out for me too. Not that they're looking bleak at the moment, just that everything turns out well in the end when you have your priorities straight.
Alright, so I should get to the music eventually right? I'll just give you what I'm listening to at the moment. Pyramiddd , They're so great. I was just introduced to them a couple days ago and I havent stopped listening to the song "Medicine". I'm going to say right now that I'm horrible at describing music. For me... it's all music and I just like it for whatever reason. Not because it's the same genre as the other music I listen to (Oh yeah, I suck at genres too) but.. I just like it. Anyways, the friend that introduced me to Walter Meego showed me this band too. I swear, he's a pool of musical wisdom.
I'm officially starting Music Monday! Very unoriginal, I understand, but I figured I should start with something!
Forever by Walter Meego
I am officially in love with this song. A friend of mine just introduced me to it last night and I have not stopped listening to it since. Right off the bat you're immersed into the happy-go-lucky synth sounds that Walter Meego is so great at. I don't know about others but I know that I get visions of summer and driving with the windows down on a sunny day when I listen to this. Just the kind of music I love.
I think it must be a sign, if on my first blogpost, when I'm ALMOST done my internet explorer freezes up.
Isn't this a great way to start off the year? With FAILURE. It's 2010 and it's cause for great celebration right? So many things to look forward to. A new year, a new decade, definitely some new years resolutions. This year I wanted to start a blog, and actually be consistent with it. So, here I am.
I've already had this blog for quite some time now. Though, it was unnecessary rants about my pathetic life and what I'd like to do with it, instead of me taking action in the real world. So, I'll be deleting those so no trace of them will be found. Because, honestly, they're useless. What I intend to do with this blog now is to "showcase" some of my projects that I've done. Such as my various sewing projects. Now, I know I'm not tht great, but those who view this are mainly friends of mine who I have told I would show them. But, I thought to myself that this blog would be very dull if that were the only thing I talked about. (Is it just me or have I used the word blog a lot?)
So, what I PLAN on doing is being consistent with this and just talk about whatever I darn well please! Such as showing current music obsessions, places I'd like to go, current fascinations... Anything! Mainly this blog will be so I have something to occupy myself with and have some sense of satisfaction in my life. Hey! Maybe it'll even get me to finish more projects and being creative. Whatever it may be.. I'll have fun doing it. That's all that matters right?
