so i know class is over for me and all - i am kinda bummed i wont get to see all the finished booklets - but i just wanted to announce that i am officially a mrs. the party is sunday, but today we did the courthouse thing and its official. whoo!

so i tried to publish, but the computer said no. so let me try something different.... let's see if this one works. i have adequately procrastinated enough. here's another god qoute "it was nice seeing you. other than that earlier buisness with my testicles" lol

words

i was trying to think of my favorite words and was amused to find they're all rather simple. ornery, for instance. or sticky. gonig down the list i notice that i like gutteral words. words that make your body react; for instance, i cannot say the word monkey without smiling. words that taste like they sound. sticky, for example, makes your tongue stick ever so slightly to the roof of your mouth.

i just found it interesting... im always the girl in jeans and a t-shirt. or, more likely, pajamas. i like my words like i like my clothes. simple, clean, effective, and - if possible - a little silly.

christmas

i love christmas crap. i know in class we were talking about the line between bad christmas stuff and tasteful christmas stuff and i just have to say that i love christmas cheese. the cheesier the better, i say. we aren't christian, we just love christmas, so we don't do alot of the religious decorations but man, i've mad up for it with just as many tacky snowmen as i can get my hands on! and i have the bad habit of leaving peices out all year. im sitting here right now looking at a snowglobe. i thought i had packed it away... i got my first lawn ornaments last year. candy-canes that light up and a snowman that lights up. and 5 strings of lights. i love christmas lights. i hang them in the house too. i wont even look at the energy bill. but surprisingly, we dont do alot of the traditional movies. i dont like its a wonderful life. we watch WE'RE NO ANGELS with humphrey bogart. we watch it every year. its hilarious. there's nothing like bogart in a pink apron to get you rolling.... i love movies from back then. everything was so subtle. delicious. recently we watched leatherheads, with clooney, and it brought a bunch of that. i can never remember the names of any of the movies, but i love them all. the women were such undeniable flirts and the men weren't any better. but i'll take that kind of atmosphere any day. god. from christmas ornaments to cary grant. i must be tired. TO CATCH A THEIF is a great movie, though. give me a good comedy anyday. "i'm looking for corny in my life." god bless the corn and god bless the cheese :P

muahaha the end is in sight! muahaha! finals on the 14th, married on the 15th, wedding on the 18th. but most importantly - the end is in sight! i wish i had something more important to say, but i dont. and i cant decide what i want my collection peice to be. my whole house is a bit of a collection. paintings, glass, throws, dvds, books, picture frames... anything that i think looks neat. when i was younger and i collaged it was worse - doorknobs, peices of broken glass, toys - so i just cant decide...

i love my flash project. its awfully silly, but i dont care. i just hope the profs like it. its only taken 3.4 of the semester, but i finally feel like ive got my head around the workload. its an odd sensation. my other class, not so much so. i think maybe im working so hard to keep this class going that im not doing as well in the other. i feel like ive progressed, and i feel like what im doing now is definately better than the beginning of the semester. both in terms of concept and design, but i dont know. it never seems to be enough. im not whining, dammit. im just observing. honest. i mean, if i have to take a class over then i have to. it just seems weird that im doing ok in words and images but i cant get my head around fucking typography. but thems the ropes i guess. hopefully if i can do my revisions and submit them that will bring me back up to where i need to be. ive never done poorly in a class before - well, other than geometry. im simply not used to it.

class

maybe it was the two smoothies but today was especially entertaining. and i think my project went fairly well. lots to fix,but nothing crazy. the size, mostly. :) we went and bought a new car today. its tim's, but my name is on it. i feel all grown up. ive never had my name on a car before. im not sure how i feel about this yet. i'm feeling fairly confident about class, however. the magazine will be a few hours, and then there's the howto. my roughdraft looked like shit because my printer was out of black ink, but its still pretty far along. now if i can just deal with this flash nonsense. im using a different program - sony something or other - but it looks like its set up basically the same way. i hope, anyhow. although at this point really, what does a few more sleepness nights matter? insomnia. bring it on.
