abandoned house, hanover, illinois



the art show last weekend was phenomenal and super fun and i'll have some pictures up from that sometime soon. thankyou to everyone who put it together and to everyone who came out!

the weather is so nice. i love spring. i love rainy days and sunny days and every day. i love adventures and learning to drive and flea markets and abandoned houses and diners and noisy music and fucked up shoes. i just want to go to sleep for the next few days because on thursday i get to go to portland, oregon, for the weekend! i'm way excited. i've always wanted to see the landscape of the northwest coast. i think if i could spend my whole life traveling and going to all sorts of new places it'd be the best thing. just the act of movement makes me unbelievably happy. i have so much hope for so many things. i'm crossing my fingers on a lot.

no job, but school is almost over and i'm so ready for summer. i want to listen to fast music and jump off things. everything is getting better all the time.

33

i want to put last week on repeat over and over and over again.


always got big plans, but they're always in the works
i swear they'd pay off if my luck don't give out first

i am so excited for summer i'm almost forgetting about spring. it's been nice as hell here lately. i love it when it's rainy or when it's sunny or when it's foggy (the rare few moments it is are incredible to me. i guess people on the northwest coast get sick of it after awhile but it seems like it never happens here in the midwest and i could go for a straight week of fog and never once feel like it wasn't like walking onto a gaseous planet in the solar system or something) or especially when the sky is a big bright blue. bad things happen and they get me down a lot but it's hard to feel bad when the weather is so dang nice.

i lost my job and somebody died young.

31

i have too strong a desire to prove myself.

30

canada was so great and i cannot wait to go back.

29

in winnipeg, manitoba, canada. come out if you're around. :]

27

gonna make a lot of money and quit this crazy scene

26

my pictures are so mediocre and so not on point with what's popular in photography right now.
i need to find something else to do with my life.

25

i miss all the people i used to be close to.

024

i don't know what it is about right now, but everything looks and sounds and feels so good, like pictures and songs and air. i don't know, maybe i got drugged or something, but everything is so vibrant now and just the other day everything was so bleak and blank and flat and i don't know, it's weird what two days of amazing melting foggy slightly warmer weather can do to me. i hope it doesn't get too cold again, january's gonna break my heart.

there's so much in me i can't make sense of, both physically and not, and sometimes i think i should take an anatomy class to understand how everything works but then that would probably just make me think even more. the way things work is wonderful, there's so much connected to everything but i feel like my synapses are always misfiring, i can't say what i mean to say.

i try to get everything out in pictures, but lately there's a disconnect there too. i am tired of everything falling through. i want to be presented an opportunity, no strings attached. i want life to take off. it's about dang time.

school started yesterday and i always like it a lot at first and think i'm never going to miss a class, but eventually i'll start to get bored and distracted --even though now, i swear, i am entirely invested, whole-heartedly and completely, i want to learn. but i also want to run. i want the snow to melt. if i don't get inside an abandoned house soon i'm going to die, i swear i will.

i can't wait for summer. i can't wreck people anymore. i need to get my act together. i need to chill the fuck out.

2009 recap post the last sentence or so of the last blog entry and the last picture i posted on flickr for each month of the year
some entries from my old livejournal before i got this blog here




january

i don't like to admit it but some of the time i am horribly, impossibly lonely. i feel nervous and light and watery around other people, i talk too quiet and too fast and my heart beats hard in my chest like a rabbit's.



february

i like my apartment, but, you know. being somewhere new is just horribly entertaining for me even if i'm not actually doing anything. i kindof want to draw a picture. maybe i'll do that. i'm scared.



march

escapism is starting to creep all over me again. i'm spring-loaded, i want to jump from tree branches.



april

it's this thought that's at the back of my mind that's warning me against it, that i should stay in the city longer and be a regular young person with fleeting relationships and searching for meaning in the backs of used bookstores. that i'm not ready to grow up, but i think i am and i can handle it now. still, i'm just afraid.



may

this is still my favorite thing.



june

and i know sometimes i will feel trapped or isolated, i acknowledge that, but i will always try to keep in mind that my heart just gets fluttery sometimes, my muscles get twitchy and anxious to run, and just to keep running won't ever get me anywhere except really out of breath. but that's such a good feeling sometimes.



july

how do you find out if someone is dead?



august

i wish i was a fourteen year old girl. i am so jealous of them all.



september

someone to exchange mix cds with and talk about airplanes and write things on the sides of buildings with, someone who responds instantly, and with rapture--
and someone who is quiet and honest and not someone to have sex with, not even to make out with,
someone who knows things, wonderful, terrible, fantastic things.



october

today is my birthday
it's the first day of the beginning of the end of the world



november

i am just waiting for someone to discover me i guess.



december

you can rely on me honey
