I wish, I wish, I wish.
I have a thousand wishes, and I'm really just praying the one that is you comes true.

I hope that when we're eighty, we look back on these days and smile. That we remember the happiness we shared, the moments we swapped over coffee cups and burnt out cigarettes, the way she looked dripping from the rain and the sheer joy I felt that first second the mountains came into view. I want to remember the stupid inside jokes, the crazy homeless guy, the buildings that grew on and on forever into the distance, the sound of the seagulls and the smell of the ocean lingering in the air. I want to remember you, and me, and how just for those few moments, our friendship was the most solid thing in the world. I want to remember living, breathing, seeing, being.

Welcome to 2007. I haven't written in this journal in a very long time.
I won't bother edging backwards to cover what I missed in photographic detail. In short, my astrology soul-mate and I are playing games with love again, my best friend and the gang treated me like a princess for a week, complete with a 12 hour rock concert, I started working at the chocolate shop, I had a wonderful Christmas Eve and Christmas with family I love, and I rang in the new year watching anime. Life rewards me with amazing friends who get together over the holidays and build gingerbread houses and meet to watch silly movies and comedians and stop for ice cream at midnight. Nobody heals the hurt like they can. They keep me smiling, even in the dark.
On my first day of the new year, several worlds broke apart and though it may be an incident that never fully recovers, I am challenging myself to find perspective on it. It's the first time I've cried begging the sky for help in an extremely long time. I'm not okay right now. Some little piece of me is going to be broken for a long time. I've never been more confused, more scared, but it's opening my eyes. I spent the entire afternoon roaming around in the gloomy rain, taking snapshots. I've loved this old book of poems, called The Year Around, since I was a kid, and it's all about the changing seasons and what each bring. I couldn't think of anything more appropriate to intermix with the photos. So in it went.
( DEAR SOUL, IT'S TIME TO DISCARD )
Most of my resolutions for 2007 consist of discarding this and that, removing the negative and filling in the positive. I really think it is time to discard.

This weekend has been so unbelievably busy. I've finally broken out of my shell and started driving around Savvy. I push forward on yield lights and stop just before the crosswalk and do all those nasty, city-driver type things so I fit in. It makes my life ten times easier because now I can shoot down Abercorn instead of having to walk over to the marketplace. Applause for me.
Yesterday I drove Lauren and I out to the swanky park on Abercorn in front of the "million dollar homes" (one of them has concrete carvings along the outside walls of their house, it's absolutely gorgeous) to do a photoshoot for my 2-D Design Final. Our final project is to design a band poster for a fictitious band, the name chosen from a list the professor had made up. My band name is Forgive and Forget and my bio basically details a pop-punk band (shocker) with a female lead (yeah, I know, I really broke out of my box--- NOT). Think Superchic[k] or Saving Jane, not The Subways. My design sketches were all based around positive-negative relationships, give and take, push and pull. The critique went well for me but I was more nervous than I would have liked. We had to present our sketches and bio to the class in a "sell your stuff, honey" fashion, meaning I really had to believe in my own ideas and convey that to the class. It's real world, I get it, but it doesn't mean I enjoyed it any more. Anyways, the class took well to my ideas from what I could tell and Szatmary confirmed that no matter which sketch I put into reality, I'd end up in a good place. Text placement is one of my strong points and I think I portrayed that well in my presentation. The photoshoot with Lauren was funny. I get into so many crazy positions while shooting and I think it threw her off at first. Not to mention, we had a really hard time making everything like "natural" and not like I'd just said, "Lauren, move your hand to the left." I got some great shots, though, check under the cut in you're interested.
( HE LOVES ME, HE LOVES ME NOT )
I stopped by Image is Everything and had my final poster printed today. It's nice but I think they screwed me over on the contrast a tad. However, I like the composition and the text placement, though mediocre, should slide by with passing marks. I had to photoshop all the cracks and leaves off of the sidewalk. It took forever but I really enjoyed doing it. I'm glad she gave us the opportunity to break into our comfort-mediums.
Last night Laur and I went to see Happy Feet (read: Harry Potter trailer) and were utterly shocked by two things. One, the lack of a kids movie, and two, the amazing graphics. And did anyone else think that the little girl behind the glass slightly resembled Maia Rutledge? Anyone? Tonight we're all exhausted. The whole room is napping. Except for me. Because I still have final work to do, which shocks basically no one.
p.s. I have over 25 apple commands memorized. I counted today. I am so proud of this compromise.
p.p.s. Yes, those are my shoes. I painted out the hearts for the shoot.
