lost

sitting here very lost between

"everything happens for a reason"
and
"god would never give us more than we can handle"

and really wanting to scream and cry and just ask
"WHY"

praying for a miracle that i know he is capable of...

also.... on a more serious note


a very close friend of our family, 
(someone who at times has been like a second mother to me...)
is currently in the hospital 


please please keep her in your prayers
God hears us more than we even know


Be strong and of good courage, do not be afraid, for the Lord your God, He is the One, who goes with you. He will never leave you nor forsake you (Deut 31:6)

its a work in progress. i chose futura. its a geometric sans-serif type. she is edgy and to the point, kinda the bauhaus characteristics of the type. im really enjoying it... just started so dont judge just yet! im going in and doing most of the light shading first... using all g's and a's haha. just switching up the opacities. I have started her hair as well, the strands are lyrics from poker face haha

back to school

ok where did we leave off? i got into my class meaning ill be adding graphic design to my life

im in a typography class that i am secretly stoked about due to my absolute love for fonts. its basically like a font history class. and guess what!? i get to find two images a week of random signs/fonts in public and analyze it and critique it and then identify the font! i am SUCH a nerd.... anyways we are studying the classifications of type and this is part1 of our project. here are a few of my compositions:

my other class is studio 3 and i love it and i love my professor and i really feel like this class will be a great challenge for me! our first big project is due wednesday.... images to come soon!

I just got my butt kicked in wii mario kart by a 3 year old.... and now we are eating pb&J and watching tom and jerry life is rough!

popcorn for dinner

preface: i saw the movie district 9

so i meet this guy brian at founders right?
we make small talk yadda yadda.... he asks for my number
he randomly mentions he needs to stop on the way home for CAT FOOD

i proceed to ask if hes an alien...

(thats the end of my story)

also i really need to stop trying to unlock my apartment door with my car clicker thing...

noddin my head like ya

the suspense of the next year of my life is KILLING me... what happens!?
i will admit that i was that girl that would be so impatient that i would read the last chapter in a book before i even got close to the end...

i bought a headband with a bow on it. and now i want to wear it everyday of my life. i think something about it makes me feel like im five years old again. when things were much more simple. a time where my biggest challenge was learning the alphabet. where love was just a four letter word. where boys still had cooties.

i love that bow.

happy twenty ten

new years resolutions:

be vegan again
make it to the gym at least twice a week
be happy
be really really happy
