10 years later

Ok so like 10 years after my last blog post that said I was going to start blogging again...I’m actually going to start blogging again.

I’m waiting to get my eyelashes done (my one thing I like to pamper myself with - because it makes me look effortlessly hot) and my appointment was for 1 PM but it’s almost 10 min after now.............

I’m flying to SF today to shoot/work/enjoy an edm festival. I’m mad excited. There will be so many things and people to film/photograph! 

Uhhh other than that IDK life is pretty good. I got an old guy to take me to dinner and pay me $300 yesterday so now I feel rich. 

I’m starving lol

hey ya'llz

(but for now, check out my "alter ego" geraldine at flamenoirxx.blogspot.com created her for a school project due on wednesday.)

Winter break

I have spent the past three days not leaving my apartment, eating pasta, not showering, and watching movies.

I've watched:

The Holiday (I love that movie)
Alfie (remake with jude law, so awful)
Marie Antoinette (i really hate this movie, but the costuming is so pretty)
Becoming Jane (whenever i watch an Anne Hathaway movie I just look at her mouth it is so distracting, also seriously depressing movie)
Penelope (loved it)
Two Lovers (depressing, made me feel super uncomfortable)
Camille (i don't even know what to say)
The Clique (don't judge me)
Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist (they go near my apartment, thought that was funny. I didn't like the character Norah at all she was really bratty/abrasive/not charming)
Made of Honor (actually SO awful but I need to go to Scotland ASAP)
Confessions of a Shopaholic (don't judge me)
Say Anything (caitlin hadn't seen it yet! still great)

Tomorrow I actually get up and shower and do some Christmas shopping!

Thursday night was spent at Kaz's house with Track F and A, and then making Oreo Truffles and pumpkin pancakes until 4 am with Hayden. Friday was my last day of classes. We had a potluck/final critque in my freshman seminar class. It was amazing and I will miss Track A terribly. Amanda came over for the weekend, we went to Germs Friday night...it was fun! I got some hilarious photos I can't wait to put up.

Also decided I am going on a road trip to New Orleans in January. Should be fun!

Forgot to study for my art history final (whatever don't care) last night and wrote what I believe to be my best paper to date.

Today will be busy. Last class of CRW1, art history final, pressing my 20 prints, going to Kaz's for an end of the semester soiree, then back to my apt with Hayden for baking time/sleepover.

Tomorrow is the last day of freshman seminar! :'-(


ALSO:
One of my photos is featured in the first issue of PONCZ Magazine (along with friends Callie Beattie and James Mcloughlin) and tons of amazing photographers!

Found out the BEST NEWS TODAY

Okay so!
Final crit in design today was great. Delicious food was eaten, amazing projects were shown, etc. I scanned stuff until 11. Got home at 11:30

This is where it started to go downhill...

Caitlin found a bug in her room (again). She squished it and was freaking out so we threw it in a plastic bag and then ran outside to throw it in the trash. As we were doing this we forgot to get keys and the door of our apartment slammed shut behind us. Awesome. We tried to pick the lock with a bobby pin but it didn't work.

As we were laughing/crying over the situation our neighbor asked us if we wanted to use his phone, try getting in through the back door from the backyard, etc. None of this worked. My dad has the only other pair of keys so I had to call him to ask him to come bring them (he only lives about 45 minutes away but I felt so bad it was like midnight). Anyway he said he would come (obviously) and our neighbor, Morgan, said we were more than welcome to hang out in his apartment until he got there.

Within the first 10 minutes I found out
GET THIS
I FOUND OUT
A man died in my room.
Was found after a day! I sleep right where he died.

But you know what is the funniest out of all of this? I never get any weird vibes from my room, I've never felt creeped out in there...so I don't really mind. I mean there is nothing weird ever and I feel safe always so I'm not bothered by this fact. I just can't believe it! I'm pretty sure the landlords never told us this. I recall being told the guy had a stroke and then died in the hospital. Pretty sure that is illegal to lie about that, but whatever...

Anyway we made Morgan watch the food network with us for about three hours, which I'm sure was awful but it meant a lot that he would deal with our company for a few hours.

It took my dad extra long to get to the apartment because halfway there, he realized he had taken the wrong keys and had to drive all the way back. Oh, dad!

I was going to go to bed early, wake up early to work on Christmas presents for everyone...but now I am going to skip that because it is 3:30 am and I am still hungry because I did not eat dinner like I had planned to at 11:30. Alright peace.

this is a thing i am making out of molding magic

this is me right now

Just spent the last three hours collaging the dumbest (but I love it regardless, don't get me wrong) shit for my design class final crit tomorrow. Mostly inspired by The OC because I happened to be watching it at the time. Can't wait to explain my shallow-inspired collages to my class that no doubt have ridiculous meanings behind their final projects.
