made of awesome part II

i love my pal naimah. i also love the art that she makes. girl's an ace when it comes to painting super fun things on fabric! see?







lucky for us she will be selling her wares at the philadelphia independent craft market. this is going to epic, you guys. magnificent crafts, bands, free BEER?! why wouldn't you go? i'm so there...if i can find a place to crash ha ha. seriously thinking about signing up for couchsurfing.com.

if you can't make it to the craft market (sunday sunday sunday!), take a gander at naimah's line (d. mae!) here, and drop her line :)

sooo, see you on sunday?

made of awesome part I

my friend chris stanton is a super duper artist, and a top notch dude. one might even say that he is made of awesome. his stuff is all kinds of whimsical and fun, but also touching and nostalgic. never stop making art, chris :)

he even drew yours truly.



ha ha.

check him out, and say hi!

tumblrs, rhinovirus hate, and magic.

hey. so i've got the only cold right now. i, like, took some zicam and it made me worse :( i sound like kathleen turner. send me vicks, fleece, soup, and more orange juice, please.

in other news, i got myself a tumblr. i rather like it.



i also have a joint tumblr with the lovely naimah. we're a lot of fun.



oh yeah, the photos link you directly to the sites, jsyk :)

cherries, britney, and stuff that's not about you, obvi.

sooo i'm eating cherries and watching the britney documentary. it's actually not half bad? dunno. but yeah, i'm sitting here and i got to thinking...i got to thinking that my favorite people are actually really really bad at answering emails. like, it's uncanny. maybe i have a nasty little habit of writing/saying too much? that could be it. maybe they're busy? ha ha maaayyybe i should turn the neuroticism down a notch? ;)



yep.

ahh i love cherries. and guess what? i love my favorite people even more. ha ha it happens. right now "waiting to exhale" is on so might have to watch it.

...

the past weekend was super fantastic one, but i'll tell you more about it later. promise.

ok. this whole things is going to sound so so soooo lame, but i feel 100% lucky. you see, today (while on the way back from new york) my bruv and i were rear-ended pretty badly on the interstate. i'll spare you the details, but i was definitely freaked out. like, TOTALLY freaked out. the car we were in is wasted for sure...doors jammed, broken glass, twisted metal, me getting pulled out of the driver side window, etc. thank goodness nobody got hurt, though. i've had my share of nasty car accidents, and i am done thanks. done. ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! my brain is a heap of mush right now, and this sounds like some kind of weird livejournal entry?! ha ha ew. but yeah, i got very lucky.

right now i am so in love with every person, place, and thing. this happens from time to time. oops ha ha. my friends, and my favorite people are as good as gold. i am pretty sure that they know who they are :)



i'm going to go hide now. or cry. or drink iced coffee while getting crazy with the dvr. it's a game of "choose your own adventure."

xoxoxo

Oh, all your history's like fire from a busted gun.

i'll tell you a secret...

sometimes when it looks like i am feverishly texting people, i'm actually making lists and observations. writing myself little notes. the result is usually incredible. ha ha if by incredible you mean words mashed up like banana sauce. this has become a trend with me, unfortunately.



last friday i went to the dub war in nyc by myself. as a person who is recovering from like the worst foot injury ever this is a big deal. i made it to new york early, so i went to pregame it at the continental on 3rd right off of st. marks place. they have a "buy 5 shots for 10 bucks!" special, but i was flying solo and could not partake. i did, however, order a yeungling. it was nice and cold, mad max was playing the big screen, and "safety dance" was playing on the juke box. amazing. i eventually left the continental as it was chock full o' nyu kids who were easily just above the legal drinking age. ha ha i'm old. i got to the dub war super early, and i took part in the $3.00 PBR spesh, as their beers are usually $7.00. storing beers in my purse and shit. my buddies arrived late, but i still had a blast! drank a little too much, which made me dance real real hard. at around 4am i left with my friend kasper as we were probably both ready to die. i said goodbye to my lovely NEPA pals, and went straight to grays papaya. papaya juice
+ hot dogs when you're drunk is a pretty rad combo. that sentence was kind of weird? but yeah, kasper let me crash out at his place which was very nice of him. he's a good egg. the next day i wanted to go see a show or something, but new york was soooooooooo hot that i needed to get my ass on a bus. while riding said bus i started, uh, feverishly texting myself memories of the weekend, and this is what came out:

sweating
my hair is dreading up
i lost my eyeliner last night
i thought i lost my deodorant
i talk too much
drinking and skanking
putting icy hot on in public
bass faces
so hot that coins stick to my ass on other people's furniture
vindictive hot sauce on gyros
mango pulp juice
me always knowing what to say
seeing shandy's ex-boyfriend on bedford avenue
missing everyone all the time
hottie door knocker earrings
be kanye!
just hanging out
i'm thinking what are you thinking
mad max on tv
falling in love with jamba juice
some t shirt that says "i need good head"
scrounging for magazine money
mmm chocolate croissant

yay lists! ha ha what a mess, though XD making a cassarole out of the english language since 1980, that's me.

yeeeaaah. pictures from the aforementioned weekend are soon to come. i seem to have lost my usb cord? shocker.

today i keep listening to "narc" by interpol. ha i remember when kristen and i would heckle carlos d. at shows. i don't remember why? as much as i enjoy "narc" please feel free to suggest other songs that should be stuck in my head.

animatronics were always the way to my heart.

ok, so back when i was single kristen and alison decided that i'd totally be into the disney country bears if they were human. ha ha ha my friends rule!



lol @ around 2:11. "she aint purdy, well i aint too. the things we like are the things we do. my woman aint purdy but she don't swear none. she's kinda heavy, don't weigh a ton. she's my woman through and through, i love her only cuz her heart is true."

kind of cute. kind of.
