you don't even know....

what the hell?
i know i can't assume things - i have learned that lesson in the most painful way possible. but what the hell am i supposed to think when i am not given hints, clues, or even an answer. i guess i can't expect much when i don't even ask. am i just supposed to sit here and wait, till it falls into my lap? until two months pass by? i don't want to wait. but i am afraid to act. i don't want to hurt more than i already do. but if i wait, will i lose it all? i don't even know. i feel like i am paralyzed or tied down. am i paralyzing myself? i don't know, i don't know, I DON'T KNOW.
god i sound like i am insane.
i never knew tears could hurt so much.
(sorry this is so depressing sounding.... just had to get those thoughts out on
some sort of "paper" so they would stop riding the merry-go-round in my head.)

boredom struck
I should have been working on an art project, but i decided to procrastinate and copy off carolyn. I printed out a bajillion pictures, cut them out (this was a few nights ago), and tonight I stuck them all up on the wall. Here are pictures of the wall of pictures.
The picture in the middle is bigger - 8x10 instead of 4x6, basically because it is one of my favorite pictures ever. The other pictures are just all kinds of random pics basically spanning from senior year until this august.
Yup. This is what happens when I have two bad days in a row (one bad, and the other semi-bad i guess), and put off my ceramics project, cause i just don't feel like working on it right now. That's it. I think I am gonna watch some tv now. toodles.

apartment!!
At the request of Nick, here are some pics of the apartment. I was too lazy to take pictures of the entire thing, and it doesnt look good yet anyway. We need to unpack and make it look pretty etc... But here is my room (Cait hasnt moved all of her stuff in yet) and the view from my room. :-D

sigh
This is more just a personal rambling to get stuff outta my head - read if you feel like it. If not, there is a tiny summary at the end. lol.
I've been thinking too much lately. Mostly about going back to school, how much I am going to miss all of my friends here, even though some of them don't seem like they will really miss me. I've also been thinking about stuff I want to do, like visit people. I have already hit up Truman. I want to go and see Carolyn, but I don't know moneywise. I also think I am gonna have to go up to Chicago, or maybe I can get Amanda to come see me.... I really wish people would come visit me, but I guess I am too far or something. I dunno. I doubt it will happen. That makes me kinda sad, but there isn't much I can do.
I am sad about leavin stl and the people here, especially Nick, but I want to go back to school and be with those friends, and live semi on my own. I love dorm life, and I hope apartment life is just as fun. I hate this feeling of being torn between two places, because I will go from being excited one minute, to dreading it the next.
I need to stop thinking so much and just enjoy the time I have left with my friends (I sound like I am dying or something).
A few nights ago I gave Nick a picture I drew in november. I had been thinking about drawing him a picture for a while, cause he has asked before, and the other night I remembered about that one. So I tore apart my room, and I had just given up when I saw my sketchbook (my old one) and was like OH YEA! So, I tore it out, wrote a note on the back - which was kind of dumb, but I had to explain the pic, and I knew I wouldn't be able to do it in person because I would cry. I don't know if I really got exactly what I wanted to say across, but I think the picture spoke for me. It was some random doodles of me and nick and just him, along with some quotes from songs and random tidbits like dates (when he asked me out, first kiss, first time we met......). My favorite quote from it is from the song "I want to know your plans" by Say Anything, "You're what keeps me believin' this world's not gone dead. Strength in my bones, put the words in my head. When they pour out to paper, its all for you, cause that's what you do. That's what you do." I was so nervous giving it to him becasue a)i don't really like showing my work to people i know really well and b) it was a really personal thing, I felt almost like I ripped out one of the most private pages of my journal and was giving it to him - one that was all about him or something. He said he loves it. Which is a huge relief. I am working on another picture for him now, this one isn't so personal, its just something with one of his favorite lines of an alkaline trio song. I think it is coming along really well, and I hope it turns out as cool as I am imagining, we shall see......
Summary: Stop thinking so much, enjoy it. Draw.

wheelchair
pictures of my wheelchair.
for all the people who i complained to about this project - here is the proof that it existed, and that it finally did get finished.
for all those who don't know - I had to build a wheelchair, with two other people. It is made solely out of cardboard, elmer's glue, and red and black acrylic paint. The project was a huge pain, my group sucked, but it looked damn fantastic, and I think we got a high b on it. The assignment - build a half scale and full scale chair. It must have at least two extra utilities (so two other things the chair can do besides be a place to sit). My brilliant group chose to do a wheelchair. The half size is just under a foot and a half tall. The full scale is just under 3 feet tall (32 inches if I remember correctly). Utilities: seat, motion (wheels), shelf under the seat, and ipod holder which "connects" to speakers that are sit on the top of the seat. The seat was also made very thick because it has a lot of cushioning for extra comfort. the seat back was made very low (as to hit just below a child's shoulderblades) so that they can twist around and reach something on the back if they need to. The chair was made to look like a race car - with racing stripes, red and black color scheme, and the style of the lines. So - here are the pictures. I didn't post the detail pics of the little one because it looks identical to the big one.

little things
i hate it when little stupid things bother me. and i have too much time to ponder them, and then they just sit there and bother me. like that one comic thing where ron and harry are poking voldemort and going "bother bother bother". i think thats how it goes anyway. its just frustrating because i can't decide if i am being dumb by letting it bother me, or if i really should listen at least a little to that little bother.

song
when i got home tonight, i was browsing through my itunes, and i found this song - it is by Jack Johnson, and is from the Curious George soundtrack. I really like the sound of it, and the lyrics are cool.
Questions
by Jack Johnson
Questions, I've got some questions
I want to know you
But what if I could ask you only one thing
Only this one time, what would you tell me?
Well maybe you could give me a suggestion
So I could know you, what would you tell me?
Maybe you could tell me what to ask you
Because then I'd know you, what would you tell me
Please tell me that there's time
To make this work for all intents and purposes
And what are your intentions, will you try?
Impressions, you've made impressions
They're going nowhere
They're just going to wait here if you let them
Please don't let them
I want to know you
And if they're going to haunt me
Please collect them
Please just collect them
And now I'm begging
I'm begging you to ask me just one question
One simple question
Because then you'd know me
I'll tell you that there's time
To make this work for all intents and purposes
At least for my own
What is a heart worth if it's just left all alone?
Leave it long enough and watch it turn into stone
Why must we always be untrue?

do i really need a title? they don't really ever matter anyway, cause they are usually something along the lines of "blah" or something. oh well.
today is the last day of classes. i had german this morning - after class i asked my teacher about the oral exam (not too horrible) and she was tellin me that she really thinks i should continue in german. i am thinking of maybe doing a minor, but if i go for a bfa (bachelor of fine arts) i will be really really busy. I am currently doing ba (bachelor of arts) and I would have time for it. so.... i dunno what to do. cause a bfa would look really good on a resume, but going far in german would as well...... hmmm.......
so that was my last class of the day - i have philosophy later but I am not going because it is just review, and he said it is optional, and the review for the midterm didn't help me at all, and my notes are really good, and when i was looking over the sheet i knew the questions, so..... i am done with classes! yay!
after that I came back to my room, and napped. well, kinda. maybe for about an hour. I just kinda layed there with my ipod on, listening to my "relax" playlist - aka music that is slower, or that i just feel like listening to when i feel like relaxing and such - so i drifted in and out of sleep, and when i was awake, i just kinda thought about stuff. so now i am in a really mellow, contemplative mood, which is good i guess. I just get tired of thinking about some things that are bothering me becuase I just go around in circles, thinking bascially the same things and coming to basically the same conclusions. so yeah. haven't decided yet if all this thinking was a good or bad idea, because i still haven't really decided what to do about some stuff. well, one thing.
but yeah, don't feel like writing about it here.
i am gonna go to lunch in a little bit with richter and erin, and after that i am gonna go up to cohen (art building) and work on my lamp project. For my final project in that class, we have to build a lamp. Fuly functional etc. So usually, classes have about a month, month and a half or so to work on this. My class got a week. Fun? no. Technically we got half of a class to present ideas to him and have him modify/reject/ok stuff, and then we got one class to have him show us how to use the woodshop and other tools and stuff. so basically, the lamp is still just drawn out on this big piece of wood i have, waiting to be cut out, and it is due on tuesday. I am also kinda stuck, because Kelly (my teacher) said no one could use the saws etc without him there, so I have to go up there and wait for him to have free time to help me use them. fun. this is gonna take a while. So, I am going to attempt to do that later today. We shall see how that goes. I hope my lamp turns out cool though, in my head it looks really cool - the little model has potential. but we shall see i guess.

it's late....
so.... it's late, and i can't really sleep. I already tried for about the past half hour. I am just not sleepy. I am ready for summer. I have one week of classes left, and then three days of exams (i don't have any on monday, and my last one is on thursday). I leave on friday to go home. I am excited to go home, I am getting tired of being here. I love the people here, but I need a break from some of them. I can't wait to see all of stl friends again, and hang out with them. It wasn't too awkward over breaks and things, so I hope the summer will be fun. Working won't be - I think I am going to work three or four days a week from 9 to 3 at the cardiology clinic filing paperwork, like i did last summer. whoopee. But at least it is easy, I don't have to deal with bitchy people, and I get paid pretty well. So hopefully that won't be too terrible, and I won't go insane. I can just see myself sittin in a corner reciting my abc's over and over again. Last summer I even started to do it in my sleep a little bit. I am hoping the ipod will help this summer, it did help for the few weeks that i had it last summer.
I packed up some of my stuff today. winter clothes and some random things like my art stuff from last semsester, and some things from my desk that I don't need, like random books and such.
My keyboard is annoying me. I think I got something under the keys on accident, and it keeps moving, since I have my computer on my lap a lot and stuff, so random keys don't work very well sometimes. At the moment it is the ; key. Not that I use the key very much, but it is frustrating when I press it on accident, and thinking that it is the correct key, I keep hitting it until it works.... and i realize it was the wrong key to begin with. I think when I give Petey over to the mac people to fix him (the ethernet plug is messed up - therefore disconnecting me when i move the computer slightly. which is why i sign on and off aim A LOT. Sorry if it bugs you :)) I am also going to see if there is any way that they can clean under the keys, I mean they have to basically take the whole thing apart, so how hard would a little keyboard cleaning be? hmm?
oi.
still not sleepy.......
ok, well this obviously isn't making me any sleepier. so goodnight all.

who do i look like?
(i stole this idea from peter)
my heritage has a face recognition thingy where you can compare your face to this database of celebrities and find out who you look like.
so i do
(here is the pic i used)
so it tells me that i look like:
Isabella Rosellini (74%) - she looked kinda odd, so we are gonna skip that one and pretend like it didn't say that.
Kristin Kreuk (67%) - you know, the girl from the wb's superman show.
Rachel Weisz (66%) - Mummy Returns, About a Boy, Constantine, etc etc
Reese Witherspoon (64%) - i really don't think you need a description.
Anne Hathaway (64%) - Brokeback Mountain, Princess Diaries, etc
Mary Kate Olsen (64%) - its a really old picture of her (like at age 13), but whatever.
Audrey Tautou (54%) - Amelie
Eva Longoria (53%) - Desperate Housewives
I am not so sure about all those, but whatever, I take some of them as a compliment. lol. I have always been told that i look kinda like Christina Ricci as well, but who knows. :)

ok, so an update from yesterday's post - back to working on the wheelchair probably. i had class today, and the girl was there, but Mike (the guy) wasn't. We left a message on his phone for him to call us, but who knows. Kailin (the girl) is actually doing a lot of work now. She is making the wheels, so I am not mad at her anymore. I am pissed at Mike. But Kelly (my teacher) today was talking to me and Kailin because he can tell that Mike hasn't been around and is doing like no work, and so he was like "make sure you write all of that in your evaluations, because I want to know the truth." and he was saying that we each get individual grades, and if he did no work, and what we did does look good etc etc we would get a good grade, and he would end up with a shitty one probably, if he doesn't pick it up and actually start working. The due date was pushed back - one class day. Which doesn't seem like much, but it will really really help a lot. So that is good, but I am still probably going to go up there and work on it tonight.

Death by Cardboard
So I haven't posted in a while. Sorry. Life has been kinda crazy. I have been working almost non-stop on a 3-d project. It is a group project, but my group is involved in sac and there was a guster concert here this weekend, so they were really busy for the entire past week and didn't work on it at all. So I have been building a full size wheelchair all by myself. full size, as in 3 feet tall, and out of cardboard. Yup, life was pretty shitty for a few days there. But, I have talked to my group, and now that guster is over, they have told me (literally) to stop working on it and they will finish the rest. so I am takin it easy now. finally happy to be done with that dumb thing. hopefully it will look awesome, cause the half scale looked cool. but yeah, life outside of 3d has basically been sleep. but hopefully it will get better over break, and then right back to the grind for another 2 weeks and then the 4 days of exams. then SUMMER! wooo!! I am excited. ok, enough for now :)
17.3.06
yay!
ok, so today was a much better day. YAY! Its finally the weekend, Nick comes tomorrow, my hair is curly (that's right, my hair is curly!), oh, and one thing i forgot to mention earlier - Julia and Paul got engaged! whee!! That happened earlier in the week, but i thought i should mention it. (you happy now Julia? ;))
ok
thats it.
love

hmm....
I know I haven't posted in a while, I haven't really had much to talk about.
Tape measure turned out to be a bitch. After I posted that, the due date was postponed twice (so it was due basically a week later), and I therefore had to work on it a lot more hours, repaint it a few times, sand it more, remake part of it..... etc etc . It was a pain, but it did turn out better, slightly. I got a B on it, which I was a little upset about, because I was kinda expecting an A because he had been pretty complimentary of it, but I guess the problems it did have were enough to make it a B. Who knows. He is a really tough grader.
Spring break was fun. I was pretty bored during the day, at home, but nights were fun. I hung out with Nick a lot, went up to his school a few times and met everyone there. They were all really nice and cool. I also visited truman and mizzou. That was a lot of fun, seeing everyone. We didn't really do anything, but I still had a ton fun.
This week really hasnt been bad at all. I haven't had very much homework, mostly because one of my art teachers (my graphic d teacher) hasnt been here both days. I stayed in class the one day for about an hour and a half working on my project anyway, because she does expect us to have some stuff done, and I had an idea and went with it. I am happy with how the part of the project came out (we basically are making layouts with type. We had to cut words out of magazines, and paste them on paper. But it has to be pleasing to the eye, have meaning, etc etc.... basically be artsy and put 10 times more effort into it than you really need to). My first one turned out pretty cool, so I am hoping the other two do as well. I am really liking that class. It is really interesting, and I am doing really well in it (woo hoo for an A!). I am really proud of one of the projects I did. We had to pic an ad and make a replica of it in paint. It turned out really good. It is one of the projects I have worked the hardest on, and it looks amazing.
My other classes are doing alright. Not much to really say there.
I put more pictures on my walls. haha. I am addicted to putting things on the walls. I added the picture of the end of the war kiss (the famous one where the guy is kinda dipping the girl and kissing her.
http://www.ivcc.edu/coburn/ENG%201002/war%20kiss.jpg
I dunno why, but i like that picture. Pictures of people kissing can look so sweet. I have another one on my wall of a boy kissing a girl's cheek. She is under an umbrella, and it just looks really cute. Ok, now I am looking at all the pictures on my wall, and I love em. hehe. I also like this one I hve of people holding hands. All you see is their arms (below the elbows), their hands, and a bit of one of their hips. Its an ad for the bracelet she is wearing, but it is just really cute, and pretty. I dunno. ok, enough. Back to the original point of this whole paragraph, my new wall - it is a little one, and just above my desk, but its lots of anne gedde's pictures. She takes the pics of the little babies in flowers and stuff. I had a day by day calender, and it had a pic for each week, and I took my favorite ones, cut em out, and put em on my wall. I would post a picure of it, but I am too lazy to take a picture of it. haha
Tonight I watched the Xavier basketball game on tv. That was awesome! We are in the A10 tournament right now. We beat Charlotte by four points. I was freaking out in the last minute of the game. It was close. I am really excited though, because they were second, and we were tenth. So we are doing well. And the first place team (GW) lost to Temple today. Which is awesome, because temple has the same conference record we have. So, that is good. We are in the semi finals now. GW and whoever wins the A10 are going to the NCAA tourney. I really hope we go. Even though I doubt that we are going to get that far, or if we do, go very far in the tourney, I am still excited. I am so addicted to basketball now. Its pretty funny, seeing as how I used to think it was dumb. hehe.
yup.

tape measure - part two
so if anyone remembers - a while back i posted a picture of a cute little tape measure that i had made. Well, I had to make two more. The original was 2 inches. My other two are 4 inches and 8 inches. I just finished the last one tonight (all three are due tomorrow morning). After A LOT of hours of work (i would say probably around 40 some odd hours) they are all done. There are flaws, i know, but i think that if i work any longer on it, i will probably end up stomping on them in rage. I am tired of looking at tape measures. very very tired.
here are my babies.
here are my babies.
