maybe then we already are home
:: weekend ::
went to the beach and sat in the sun. fealt the sun on my feet. made dinner with megan, jason & regina. picked tomatoes, played board games and petted cats. shopped with anne. more sun sitting. sat in gasworks in the sun. ate pizza and saw science of sleep. in the words of the great shep hildebrand, life is good.
remember when you were only a child
and you start to see with your blue mind
don't be afraid of what you find

before the day i die, i'm gonna touch the sky
today at work robynne was asking me what i planned on doing after i left modern dog. i told her i wasn't sure, but i really wanted to be able to stay in seattle. i love the city, and i've made a whole bunch of friends that i'd like to keep for a while before i go moving again. she said that the fact that i drove all the way across the country for an internship said that i was a very driven, go-get-em kind of kid which will serve me well in the design world. hooray : )
on another work related note, i've been helping robynne with an ad for Country Music Television which has been incredibly fun. i'm learning so much at work, and it feels really great!
now all i need to do is find a real job that i'll love as much as this one... but i'll worry about that when the time comes.

i was lonelily looking for someone to hold
it's getting colder aaaand it seems i'm getting sickly. i wonder if the two things are related. i become concerned when i start feeling sick because i usually stay mildly ill for an elongated period of time. i came home from work today and napped for 2 hours and had some crazy dreams which i didn't realize were dreams until much later in the evening. then i went to the rose with emma to see "team gina" which was pretty awesome. afterwards we went to safeway so i could get some drugs for my illness. emma got a bottle of wine and remarked how incredibly unhealthy she appeared in line behind me and my medicine.
on that note, i shall take a tylenol pm to go with my chamomile tea and wrap my sickly self up in this big fluffy down comforter.
*good night, moon*

fist deep in cowboy butter
this is rob's dog darwin. he's still a puppy and comes to work with us. he makes my sush void a little more bearable on a daily basis.
today at work i got to take lots of pictures for a poster which was awesome. makes me realize how much i still really love photography. mike insisted that the other intern, tara, document my photographing and the making of the poster with his video camera. mike and robynne are giving in arkansas, and at lunch today they came up with this idea to stick a bunch of doughnuts into a gum ball machine and put a "missing" sticker on the front with their faces on it. so the four of us drove to krispey kreme and robynne ordered "the double dozen deal" which made us all laugh uncontrollably. robynne then explained to the girl in the drive through window that she would not be eating all the doughnuts by herself, as there were three other people in the car. more laughter ensued. work rocks but i'm still having a hard time functioning at 9 a.m...

breathe me
: a thought!
: passion means/is sacrafice
; to sacrafice one has to give up something of real value, other wise its not a sacrafice
: does this mean that the more passionate someone is about something, the more they are sacraficing for it
: and, at what point, is that a bad thing
: now then, im going to eat my skittles
besame mucho
welcome to the modern dog office : )
tito came to visit this weekend and we went to the library
we took pictures lying on the floor because of the beautiful wooden typography
we crawled around on some public sculptures!
then tito and luke cooked me the most amazing dinner i've had in a very long time, and we invited some new friends over. they both donned aprons and weilded dull kitchen knives. the phrase "fist deep in mussel butter" was born and tossed around the modern dog office the next day.
tito decided to consume some house plants and pose as a koala bear because his apron had koalas on it.
i really love spending time with him... we always have so much to talk about, and are so accepting of each others ideas. he helps me better understand myself and i think i help him to better understand himself as well... i feel as though our relationship is very rare and special, but will continue for a very long time... his presence will be missed on phinney ave north...
after work, shawn came over and we made some delicious grilled cheese sammiches and watched the art:21 series that i rented from the amazing video store down the street. today at work he sent me a very beautiful email... he is a sweet and sensitive person, even though he'd rather pretend to be bitter and cranky hehehe

let it die
everything i want to say sounds so patronizing...
everything i feel sounds like a cliche song lyric...
the saddest part of a broken heart
isn't the ending so much as the start
the tragedy starts from the very first spark
losing your mind for the sake of your heart
the saddest part of a broken heart
isn't the ending so much as the start

song for you
So today I wrote a song for you
Cause a day can get so long
And I know its hard to make it through
When you say theres something wrong
So Im trying to put it right
Cause I want to love you with my heart
All this trying has made me tired
And I dont know even where to start
Maybe thats a start
Cause you know its a simple game
That you play filling up your head with rain
And you know you are hiding from your pain
In the way, in the way you say your name
And I see you
Hiding your face in your hands
Flying so you wont land
You think no one understands
No one understands
So you hunch your shoulders and you shake your head
And your throat is aching but you swear
No one hurts you, nothing could be sad
Anyway youre not here enough to care
And youre so tired you dont sleep at night
As your heart is trying to mend
You keep it quiet but you think you might
Disappear before the end
And its strange that you cannot find
Any strength to even try
To find a voice to speak your mind
When you do, all you wanna do is cry
Well maybe you should cry
And I see you hiding your face in your hands
Talking bout far-away lands
You think no one understands
Listen to my hands
And all of this life
Moves around you
For all that you claim
Youre standing still
You are moving too
You are moving too
You are moving too
I will move you

I am carrying this scrap of paper that can crack the darkest sky wide open
that's me! hooray!
today was my first day of work and it was quite exciting, despite my nervousness. we're currently working on some luggage tags for blue q, a bid for hasboro, and a logo for an english teaching thing in france. there are also 3 office dogs that are wonderful for petting and loving and lots and lots of talking about design related stuff. yay : )
facebook just got much much creepier. though this little tidbit about miss molly did substantially brighten up my day. hahaha
tito's coming tomorrow!! yaaaay!!!! i do love tito very much. he's a wonderful friend for talking to and discussing the world & ideas with. how grand!
i ran into regina and jason on my way to get spring rolls for dinner tonight. we talked and laughed a lot and i enjoy their company very much. jason remarked that our encounter was the most he'd heard me talk since we met and i laughed a lot. apparently they thought i was shy... how is that possible?
i now have to be at work monday-friday at the ass crack of 9 a.m. so i need to begin tucking myself into bed earlyish. i'm not sure i'll ever like mornings though... blah! thank god this city has enough caffeine to fuel a hundred megans!!
... a hundred megans is a scary, scary thought ...
i say tell me the truth but you don't dare
1.) went to bumbershoot on sunday and was completely overwhelmed by the people and everything that was going on. did a lot of seemingly pointless walking and bumping into people. reminded me of why i always listened to my ipod when i lived in nyc... too much stimulation. flatstock was incredible except for the people. i wish i had someone to talk about the posters with... it made me soooo happy to see all of that stuff, and then the people made me agitated. i did get to talk to jay ryan, and mentioned holly and syracuse and we chatted for a bit. he seems like a lovely fellow. i saw sonya kitchell (who has an incredible voice for anyone, let alone a 17 year old) and jose gonzalez and more hoardes of people that made me feel like i exist on a different planet than them. all in all, the day was pretty terrible. the highlight was a little boy in a wonderfully striped shirt & darth vader mask and the delicious apple i brought with me. oh and these lovely lights. the boy also did a wonderful t-rex impression. i hope i'm never too old to do a t-rex impression when the mood strikes me.
2.) i'm so sick of cynicism, and i'm exhausted by people that have plenty of bad shit to say but nothing good. i don't want to censor my thoughts because someone will tell me they're stupid or wrong. i refuse to be made to feel small. i'm sick of people claiming they're open minded and then realizing they're quite the opposite. i miss people like bob who are ageless and childlike. i miss unconditional love, support and acceptance that won't evanesce over night.
"i want to live life and never be cruel"
3.) made a new friend today named shawn. he seems like a kind & gentle soul. we threw rocks off a cliff at discovery park into the sunset because i really fealt like throwing rocks. i also shuffled around in the sand in my bare feet. we're going to go on a field trip to look at art and talk about it which makes us both very happy.

keep your hands warm inside my pockets
i wasn't having such a good day the other day, and neither was davers. fortunately we both have web cams, so hilarity and lots of photos left us both feeling much better!
while i'm getting pretty bored of sitting around, that's all about to change because i start at modern dog on tuesday. hooooraaaaay!! this is gonna be kiiiind of awesome...
i hung out with miss anne the other day and it's great to run around the city with her : ) oh and miss kat will probably be coming out in october!!! yaaaay!!!
yesterday i was lying on a blanket in gassworks park, and i decided to give my mom a call. we pretty much have the same conversation every time i call her, and it consists of the weather and the status of the pets. she's also taken to putting the sush "on the phone" with me and swears he knows it's me. i'm not terribly convinced, but i will oblige her regardless. i watched the sail boats while basking in the sun and told her about how much i love it here. i told her that i really want a place i can live for a few years where i can finally have pets, a newspaper subscription, plants & some decent furniture... i think this upset her... i think she was really hoping i wasn't going to like it and would come back to the east coast after modern dog. i think she's afraid i'm never going to come home again. who knows where i'll end up. all i know is that i'm making lots of friends, i'm super happy and i really love this city!
seattle = delicious food, new friends, beautiful water & all the delights of a city. now if only there could be a sush...
