"Wake up! Wake up Daydream believer!" ~Hottub

I've been feeling quite otherworldly lately. It's as if I'm living slightly out of sync with the rest of the universe. I sent a very embarrassing facebook message to a friend yesterday. It was basically me unabashedly confessing my feelings for him. I should feel mortified but I just feel relieved. I need to say how I feel more often.

Alright, time to watch Hey Arnold! On Netflix until I fall asleep.

Got my guitar today!!!!! Yay!!!!!
Sent my resume to 10 job postings last night. Plan to do atleast 10 more before going to bed tonight.
Also, I've been kind of obsessed with youtube and the vlogbrothers lately.
It's like I've found a hidden goldmine of nerdom, awesomeness and acceptance.

DFTBA!!

Sooo, I really need to be applying for jobs right now, but all I can do is think about ideas for Time Lord rock songs.

Also, I really want to get around to watching Battlestar Galactica. 'Cause I keep hearing about it.

But for now, RESUMES!!!

Time Lord Brain Thieves!!

So, after seeing the video below, and listening to some Chameleon Circuit songs, I've been obsessed with the idea of starting a TROCK (Time Lord Rock) band. And I thought that I had come up with the PERFECT name. But alas, someone beat me to the punch. The MEDUSA CASCADE is already a band. And I was actually surprised to discover that there are a bunch of Trock bands already in existence. I'm kind of late to the party.
Other band names I wish I had thought of first include:
  • The Girls in the Fireplace (awesome name!)
  • Exterminate
  • Friends of the Ood
  • A Little More Sonic (I really like this one too)
  • Cult of Skaro
So yeah, I have some catching up to do.

I've been feeling very nostalgic for that ferver, that lust for life I had before I became an "adult". I believed in magic, I believed in love, I believed in dreams and poetry. I want that back. When did I grow to become so cynical? When did I become so jaded, so weary. I'm a bit worried I'm regressing. That this is just how it is when you grow up, and the sooner I realize that the better. But this can't be better. I'd rather be looked upon as childish an insane, than to be on my death bed with regrets. And what's more regrettable than a life unlived?

I'm kind of bummed out because I was planning on buying a guitar today. Not just any guitar, but it would be my first time playing one that I actually owned. I've dabbled since middle school but it was always either my uncle's guitar, my other uncle's guitar, my best friends guitar, or my boyfriends guitar.

And I WILL NOT continue being the girl playing with her boyfriends guitar.

If I'm gonna be my own person, it will be with my own equipment dammit!

Dreams Can Come True

I think that this is the year that dreams either stay dreams or become reality.

I've known Mo for some years now, and one thing that he's always been is dedicated to his dream. Which is tough, 'cause when it's your senior year of high school and people ask you what your plans are "I'm gonna be a rapper" is not what they want to hear. But he politely said fuck you to the naysayers and stayed on his grind. He knew that whether it took him to the top or the gutter, he had to do what he loved. And what he loved more than anything else was making music.

Now, he's got 2 record companies ready to sign him. I'm so happy for him that I want to cry. But that would be insanely girly of me, so I won't.

He doesn't take me seriously when I tell him this, but Mo is absolutely one of my biggest role models. He has a dream and he works relentlessly towards making it come true. Which is not something that I could always say about myself. But that changes now. I've always dreamed of being a fashion designer and eventually owning my own boutique. NOW is the time that I start to make that happen. I've already launched the website for my clothing line and I have four pieces up.  Every moment that I'm not at my "dayjob" I'll be working, creating, and promoting my line until I'm the best and everyone knows it

Thank you Maurice for showing me that dreams can come true. But it takes more than wishing on stars, it takes hard work, dedication, and surviving on nothing but Ramen noodles for long periods of time.


On another note, I keep acting "street". Lol. I keep using words like "son" and "grind" and taking the g's off the ends of my words.

Mad Hatter Dessert Platter

One day when I finally own my restaurant/cafe/bohemian commune we're going to have a dish called the Mad Hatter Dessert Platter. It will be composed of an overturned tophat made of organic chocolate filled with vegan ice cream (maybe green tea flavor) topped with brightly colored sprinkles. The plate would be adorned with three white chocolate playing cards. Of course one of the cards will be the queen of hearts.

Somewhere I have a notebook full of these kinds of ideas. I should find that thing.

Lately I've been on my executive grind. Okay, I don't really have an executive position yet but one day I will. A few weeks ago I was able to finally display the fruits of my labor on the documentary project at work. The debut screening went extremely well. The audience ended up being so much larger than we anticipated! My only wish would've been for more of them to actually purchase the DVD, but what can you do. *shrug*

But yeah, I'm really trying to prove myself as a leader and vital team member within the organization. I've been leading projects, attending conferences and dressing spiffy

But sometimes I feel like a bit of a fraud. For someone who works in an arts organization I really haven't been honing my creative talents. I can't even think of the last time I turned on my sewing machine. My boss works 12 hour days and yet she still finds the time to paint the most beautiful pieces. If she can do it, so can I.
