Spreading My Wings...

And oh what a blustery and rainy day it is indeed! My entire basement is flooded and what more can I possibly do... but think of a ridiculous photoshoot to get everyone in better spirits...

( Is it raining out there...? It's raining in here too...Collapse )

I'm baaaaaack! and it feels wonderful! And what better way to bring in the new year... than with a new photoshoot... so kicking off 2010 and a year full of promises, bright hope and new beginnings... I bring you...

( Of Gypsies and FaeriesCollapse )

Wishing everyone a wonderful 2010... may the light shine upon your path always... Smiling as always my dear friends...

~*~Chou~*~

ps... Hana-chan... I received your gift... and I was enlightened with sparkles and glee as I danced about my room... Happiest of wishes to you and sending you many smiles... Kristen... I got your card in the mail and I love the penguins!!.. Thank you so much...!

Farewell minna-san... <3 Hugs to all... I'm on my way to South Africa today for about a month! Take care everyone... remember to smile and think of me once in a while when you look up at the sky... I'll be staring up at you from another continent in a far away land.

Ja!! <333

So I got about half way through packing my carry on to go to South Africa.. when I just started laughing uncontrollably.. What kind of stuff am I packing?!

( I have no clue... Collapse )

I'm choosing to make this a good morning by ignoring the fact I was woken by my parents yelling and arguing IN MY ROOM... I have a splitting headache, but despite that... I'm going to look towards the future and be thankful that for once I was not involved. << sort of.

I decided that LJ is probably the only place I would like to post these pictures... and with all the questioning of 'who's the guy flying around with Pan-girl...'... well... I'll let you 'meet' him...

( Meet RuanCollapse )

Hugs to all...! <3

I'm back from summer camp... and getting ready for another adventure already. To let everyone know... I'm going out to South Africa on October 16th... Why? Because I met a wonderful guy who happens to live there... My thoughts are so disfigured lately. I really wasn't expecting it.. How is that we find happiness most when we don't look for it?

So as an update... I'm including Anji's latest creation on my hairstyle... WHOO...!!

( Check this out...Collapse )

<33 Minna-san! <33

Off to Camp everyone... think of me every once in a while... Take care of yourselves.. have a most awesome summer... Laugh often! Smile!

Pan's off to Neverland...

~*~*~~Come on Tink~*~*~~

And here is a gift for all of you... From the original Disney soundtrack of Peter Pan...

You Can Fly! You Can Fly! You Can Fly!

<33

One sky... One destiny...

So it's official. My current position at Starbucks is done on the 17th of this month... I have been screwed over quite enough. And now it is time for something necessary and completely different.

This summer, from June 22nd to August 24th... I shall be at Camp Tecumseh working as counseling staff for inner city children in Union, NJ. I am so excited about this I can barely contain it. Affiliated with a wonderful organization known as the Salvation Army, I look forward to giving inspiration and encouragement for young teens to aspire and reach their dreams. Providing them outlets for creativity and letting them run around like complete lost boys on 400 acres of fields and woods. Check the website out.. it's going to be a blast. Oh yeah, Pan is so back.. and I am ready to fly into another adventure!!

Alright, so this means... no computer... As soon as I know the exact address I will post it to anyone who requests here or via e-mail at

trail.of.butterflies@gmail.com

Cosplays on hold... internet on hold... just give me this summer to fly... then I'll return... newly refreshed inspired and ready to take on the world again!

Let me know if you want to stay in touch and I'll write to you in my scribbles as always. If anyone has any requests of music/videos/pictures/references please leave me a message. I will do my best to follow up with anything I might have forgotten to send you..

I'll be around until the 20th and then I'll be leaving... so the requests are open... ask me questions... give me requests... I'll see what I can do for you before I depart on an epic adventure once more to Neverland.

<sub>There have been so many things I have been thankful for lately. Mostly this past week. Courtney came to visit me all the way from California... so we bummed around and watched movies... Went to carnivals... Drove to see Anji... laughed and just remained as we are... The best feelings in the world are when people accept you for who you are and you never have to put on any kind of mask. Close friends you can rely on to listen and to seek advice from... Seeing Anji was so encouraging to me... Feeling the love from my friends... wrapped in an overwhelming net of security knowing that I can always just be me. Stretched out on my floor on hot Spring days... the doors open... walking barefoot outside... sharing thoughts and listening to others...

I am so very thankful for life... My life is changing very soon as I will be away from my computer probably from the middle of June through the near end of August... More to be posted about that.. but for now... I just want to let everyone know just how happy I am... How much love I feel and wish to give out to the people we are called to embrace... those whom we treasure, those whom we don't know... every person in this world has a purpose...

For all of you I am thankful for... Every word you give... every thought and prayer... Thank you minna-san. <33

Doesn't make missing people any easier though... today it rains...</sub>
