december show [9/10/09 4:51pm]
so i have this idea for a big show in december (winter break).

i want everyone i know from kitsap/seattle/etc who plays an instrument, wrote a song, has a band, anything, even if they only have one song, or stuff they're working on to play one show together under one name:

MY FRIENDS

ie. "hey, im gonna go see my friends at 8:00"

it would mean a few ensembles where everyone plays a few things together, then little songs and like tagteam gear setups. i need to get planning this but i'm thinking either the week before or the week after christmas. i would love to silkscreen shirts for every member, if everyone could pay like 5 or 10 to help pay for the grange or something, and then have a free show, or at least a super cheap one. it would just be a huuuuge music party where everyone could be in a band or play music without needing a whole set or anything. i know a lot of people that want to play music, but maybe don't have enough to play a whole show, or don't know how to get one together. i think it could be really fun

i hope people are interested in this! let me know if you want to help me put this together!!

my friends - this december!

i know it's the lyme, or the jaundice, or whatever fucked up parasite my father has

but the worst part about being home is how it fucking speaks to me.

over winter break, it was interupting my story with "can you turn the television up?"

now, when i'm trying to suggest something like swimming or something to help him out, he just covers his face and starts saying no. lila i've already thought of that.

yeah i fucking doubt it.

he gets angry the same way that i do
which is what makes it so fucking intolerable cos it's pretty fucking inpenetrable.

i think living without parents has changed me as a person.

now that i've done even this much on my own, i'm a lot more confident, a lot more consistently happy, i do smoke a bunch more, but overall, it's all really for the better.

calarts is the best thing that could have happened to me. only have a week left of BFA1 is a huge deal, and i'm going to miss the studio like crazy over summer.

but i think i got everything out of it that i had hoped for, and i have quiiiiite a lot to show for it:

- 40 pg hand crafted silk screen cover book with all my designs from semester 1
- 1 50 or 60 page book about hands that i bound myself
- 30 or 40 different images of "triceratops" that i made myself and made the portfolio for
- 18 10x10in images made entirely of type
- 24x36in poster "nude vs. naked" with a whole bunch of naked people on it
- gouache swatches up the heazy
- 5 cutesy nature photographs i took for my bullshit photo class

and more that's due this week.

my review went really well, pretty dank critique and i had been super nervous about the hardcore teachers (that sometimes won't even look at the work if they do'nt like it, or be pretty blatent with their remarks)

more when the year is over, but idk, it's just such a wonderful school and i'm trying to prepare myself for a few months back home :]

i just read this, am just hearing about it now.

a friend who has been going to lark camp as long as i have been,
wrongly accused for the University of Washington ELF arson
and facing 5 - 20, and maybe 30 years in jail.

i've never been very affected upon hearing about people being accused or going to jail or anything in the news, but when it hits this close. she didn't do it, she knew who did, but they blamed it on her to reduce/avoid a sentence. knowing someone in a story like this is profoundly different than reading similar cases about anyone else. on top of that, linking something like the UW arson to people i know, people around me, people i care about, ahhh its just really surreal and sobering.

what do you do to shake off little stupid anxieties?
what do you say to yourself?

all i want is to hang out with kids i haven't seen in 3 months. all this time in the house is driving me crazy and makign me miss school a whole bunch more than i expected. nothing like being interrupted with "can you turn the television up." yeah, that was great.

the snow would be great if it knew when to stop. i like rain in its liquid form a whole lot more.

monday - up till 4 AM making motion piece for class the next day
tuesday - stays up till 2AM for a paper, then til 4AM marking my book for positioning the compositions, then till 7AM cutting title pages
when:

WEDNESDAY MORNING, THE DAY BEFORE OUR FINAL 40 PAGE HAND MADE BOOK IS DUE

i cut a bout a half inch of the skin on my finger off. like... maybe a milimeter deep...

but i got the book done after staying up the next night as well... somehow i got everything doen by not sleeping for two days.. but by the end of the second day i think i was seeing shadow people by that point. i'll post pics of what i did this semester soon. but i'm finally home and its snowing, and it feels so awesome to be back in the NW finally <3333

unfortunately, this is my horoscope, and it's tearing me apart:

it's a great day to distance yourself somewhat from what you've been doing lately, even though you'll head back to it soon, in all likelihood. Every now and then you need time and space to think.

this either means that i should stay up and "distance" myself from sleep, because i jsut finished a 7 page paper in a few hours and i'm stoked to get most of the weeks homework done tonight instead of sleeping.

OR

it's telling me to distance myself from my graphic design homework that has been all i have been thinking of and actually go to sleep and focus on it tomorrow because it's due the next day.

but i'm going for the first interpretationb ecause i just had a lot of caffeine and i'm feeling really excited to work right now. i still have an oportunity to sleep before class so this decision is tentative.

i hate it though, i'm ranting and raving every time i talk, and i'm really long winded right now and wanting to really tell people all about my paper! BIG lol.

halloween and thursdays
kids get fuuuuuuuuucked up

last friday... halloween was pretty fun, just getting to see all these costumes and hear about it's reputation though the party itself wasn't all that great.

but maybe people were sitll in the spirit last night for the queer arts collective art show opening that happened. it's lik first thursdays in seattle here, every thursday.

so apparently, someone was on the balcony outside the third floor, and thought they could like.. fly or some bullshit. my friend walked out to the glab courtyard right below as someone fell onto the concrete from the 3rd fucking floor to the first.

i think they're gonna tyr and control thursdays now. i can't believe how fucked up some kids can get. this is such a huge bummer. i feel like my grade is brining alot of trouble to the school.......

maybe it's just me.

in other news, the whole campus just like.. exploded when obama was officially elected. parties everywhere, people packed around televisions and projectors. it was such a huge deal, it was amazing. even if most of us had crazy papers to write that night!
