Twin Peaks

In 2002-2003, I lived in Twin Peaks-California.Elevation is 5,778 feet. I didn't like it very much because the kinds were mean to me at school and I was going through my awkward stage blah blah blah. Looking back now, the place was beautiful and I would love to go back and visit. This was my bus stop!

Public suicide

I had THE creepiest dream. I was gonna go to a Chris' friend's house with him and Ariel. We were walking behind my apartments in an alley, which is also behind a movie theater. A movie had just gotten out because I saw alot of teenagers going through the alley. They were dressed in fairy costumes and were hella goth. It was kind of like walking around Capitol Hill haha. Anyway, I was in a bad mood, but these people started shaking my hand and kissing it and I felt better. I started saying hi and doing the same. While we were walking, this guy pulls two guns out and everyone screams and crouches to the ground. For some reason, I did not crouch down. I was the only one standing and staring at him while he was reciting a speech he had planned to say. I ran away and Ariel screamed, "Don't run, Silvia! He's going to shoot you." My logic was that he was planning to commit suicide, he wasn't going to shoot me. So this tan girl crawls towards him and takes the 9mm from him, she asks for the bigger gun next. He lifts it up and it has a HUGE barrel, the size of his head and there's electricity running through it. I can see bolts running through it when I turn to the left and see a little guy, he looks like Aly's friend, Jonathan Fine in a black costume. He has a wand with this same electricity on the end. He's happy and dancing around almost praising this man. I said to him, "What's your problem? Are you his friend or something?" The guy put his head in the barrell and pulled the trigger. he electrocuted himself in front of this crowd and it went on for a few minutes. When the man was incinerated we all got up and cried in relief, kind of like when the poor unfortunate souls are release from Ursula's cave in The Little Mermaid.

I hope this dream doesn't mean anything.

Welcome to heartbreak

I worry that the kind of love I believe in doesnt exist anymore.

Tom's and Daisy's

My junior year of high school we were required to read The Great Gatsby. Of course, I didn't appreciate being assigned to a read a book I didn't want to read or being forced to see themes I didn't see in it. Looking back, I totally took school for granted. Back to the book, to be honest, out of the two times I took English 11, I have never read The Great Gatsby. On the flipside, I know alot about it because I did repeat the class. There is one part in the book that sticks in my head and haunts me in reality.

"They were careless people, Tom and Daisy - they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money of their vast carelessness, or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made"- Chapter 9

Our lives are full of Tom's and Daisy's! Those reckless people that you love, but they don't love you back. The selfish people that use you and make huge messes and then flee the crime scene. I don't know if this is really relevant to you the reader, but these people have broken my heart time and time again. This writing has no point, but really I just had to put it out there.

My Fair-weathered Lady Friends..or just friends in general

The ones that like to hang out with you when it's convenient for them. You call them to hangout and they don't answer or they're busy. Anybody CAN MAKE TIME FOR ANYTHING. It's what you prioritize. If you don't want to make time to hang out with somebody, then you obviously don't value them at all. It's sad to see those friends go, but you're better off without them. 

Jams for days

Aly and her friends went to a free Danger Radio show at the old Redmond Firehouse and were introduced to Bekker. The band is named after it's lead singer, Matt Bekker. I would say their music is really relaxing and is usually about love and life. They're very local, so you should go see them sometime. Anyways, this song is called Empty, enjoy.


PS. Check em out on Myspace. http://myspace.com/mattbekker

Jams for days

When I don't know what to write about, I'm gonna post my favorite songs for no reason haha

After Tonight-Justin Nozuka. I discovered him one late night at Atafeh's house. She was asleep and I was listening to the videos on VH1, when an angel serenaded me.

Nudity

I'm not gonna lie, I love tasteful nudity. I've been trying very hard to sketch women with no clothes on forever, but I can never get the hips/thighs right. I don't know what it is, I think we as women are all beautiful and I wish I could capture it as a photographer would capture something they see. I also love drawing hair. Especially when it's in motion like this chick. Even though it's out of focus, I can dig it. I love sketching the pictures in the Urban Outfitters catalog. The clothes and the people are awesome to look at. I don't consider myself to be artsy, but I do like to sketch. My favorite medium is charcoal pencils and sketching pencils. I've tried acrylics, pastels, and colored pencils....they're just not for me.
