Heyyy everyone!! I know I'm only on here when I have new pictures, but there really isn't anything else that exciting going on in my life lol

I dropped down to a freelance artist with MAC because our counter has had so much childish bullshit going on that I can no longer handle working there. That, and I refuse to be a ridiculously pushy sales person like the people who work at the kiosks in the mall (which is now pretty much a job requirement). So hopefully I can make a living doing my own thing until I find better opportunities somewhere else. So if any photographers/models are looking for a good makeup artist, you know where to find me ;)
Soooo, on to the pictures... I worked with photographer RoldanImages and model Ms Chrissy on these:

So I'm getting back into this lj thing i think ...I've made more posts in the last 2 days than in the last year lol
I'm borredd at home. I want to start doing more makeup for other peoples shoots but i hate how busy i am with work all the time. I'd really like to model with someone ELSE taking the pics too... its so hard to do everything myself with the 10sec timer on my camera. So who's interested in doing a photo collaboration thing with me???
Hmm. what else is new. NEW KITTY!! I love him! Even though I thought "he" was a "she" so his name is Kara, but oh well. I'll include pictures.
And my hair was pink and now its not because my job decided to be super gay about that. And I cut all of Nick's hair off. and i think our apartment is pretty much done being decorated so i think its time to move.
ok i like pictures better than words, so....

is there anyone else out there thats reallllyyy missing battlestar galactica??
seriously.
when the fuck is that coming back?

Heyyy! Havent had much time to write stuff lately, very busy with work... But I'm back with more pictures! MAC is coming out with a new line called "Cult of Cherry" next month and I did a recreation of the visuals from the promo pictures and thought you might all like to see =)

Heeeyy, I have a week vacation from work, so hopefully I'll have time to do lotsa new photography projects because I've been missing them a ton. I don't really remember whats changed since the last time I updated.  I now work for MAC Cosmetics, something I wanted to be doing since I was like 15. Its a wonderful job and my coworkers are awesome.  I have a larger makeup collection than I even know what to do with, but hopefully I can do fun stuff with it all this week and get some good pics. Anyways, onto the good stuff... Saturday we had an event at MAC for a new collection called Naughty Nauticals, and I was body painted to look like the girl from the ad. Afterwards Marisa (the girl who painted me) and I went to the beach to take pictures....

Heyyy, its been crraazy long since i've been on this page!
This is mainly a picture post, because those are more fun =)
Soooo, since last I posted I've gotten an apartment with my wonderful boyfriend, and we adopted two lovely kittens<3 So here are pictures of our awesome retro dining room, some pics of me, some of nick, some of us, and some of the kitties =D

i don't have a huge amount of time to write, but i know i haven't posted any pictures on here in forever, so that's basically what this post is about. I played dressup with my lovely boyfriend Nick (he makes such a pretty girlie =)...) and took pictures, and the wonderful Coco also took some pictures of both of us together<333

I’m having a horrible day... no one specific reason, just a little bit of everything.
I really needa get my shit together. I’m not doing well in school, I work more than anyone I know but I never have any money, I’m unorganized as fuck, I’ve been getting around 2 hrs of sleep every night, and I feel fat and gross and need to lose 20 pounds.
I have 4 papers to write for my ACH101 class by Wednesday because I decided not to start any of them until the week of the last class. They’re not difficult, but it's going to be a pain in the ass doing them all at once. Oh well, guess whose fault that is. I haveee to do them and do them well b/c sadly this is one of the very few classes that I’m passing.
Today I’m scheduled to work from 9:00am to 9:30pm... both Hyundai and gamestop. I slept from 7am to 9am at stony brook this morning, was late to work, and now I’m completely unprepared for working at gamestop for the 3rd week in a row (only clothing I had with me were pajamas). I grabbed a pair of nick's khaki pants in my mad rush of 'omg-lateness!' but now that I tried them on they look weird b/c they're all baggy around the butt and they're too short. Plus as far as other clothing goes I only have slippers and a hoodie. Hopefully I can get coverage for an hour so I can just go home and change between jobs. I need to change my lip ring to a stud too b/c gamestop corp. is an asshole.

I don't have anyone/anything to blame for being so irresponsible. I can't even say that I hang out with friends too much and it interferes because I have almost everyday at work for 6 hours sitting on a computer at work doing nothing and I could be doing homework, but instead I doodle and download music and sit on facebook and AIM and complain about being bored. I spend $250 a week on I-have-no-idea-what and save nothing. And then when my car insurance or cell phone payment is due I just use an entire paycheck to pay it off and then have no gas for my car or money for the week. And I always forget about credit card bills ENTIRELY, and even though my bill is only like $10.00 a month, I end up getting charged like $50 a month b/c I always forget about them and pay them late.

ugh I hate when people write this kinda stuff on LJ, and now I’m doing it.

I wanna go into the city soon.
I wanna watch the third season of the OC.
I'd like to see non-SBU friends too.
I really wanna go to Jersey to visit my Joey over winter break.
I want enough money to buy lots of Christmas presents for people.
I'm happy I don't have work and will not be home this weekend.
I hate that I constantly feel like I annoy people.
I hate that I care too much about whether or not people like me and go out of my way to do favors for people that probably won't ever do anything in return for me.
And this is really random but I'm really interested in getting a job working with children with autism/downs syndrome/etc.

Magically livejournal is no longer blocked on the computer at my job... weeirrrdd.
Now you have to listen to me rant more often! lol
Not much to do here... though I do have a crap load of paperwork to do, and homework that I'm procrastinating on as well, ...blah.

.....

Ummm...
A lot has happened/changed in the past week.
A lot.
I don't know why I don't feel more affected or overwhelmed by it.
Everything has gone relatively smoothly so far, so I'm sure it's just a matter of time before something blows up =(

.....

I saw the movie The Fountain with Nick and Rob last night, it was really different but I loved it. So sad =(

...aaand that's all i would like to publicly share right now.
mmmm boring and lonely here. yay.

It is soo cold in my room right now, which is confusing the hell outta me because every night for like the past month I've been trying to find ways not to sweat to death in here when I go to bed at night.
I really need to clean my room, it's a diastor... sucks because i feel like i'm cleaning it everyday and its always a mess. I really needa clean Bert's (my gecko) tank too because thats getting nasty. ughhh, so lazy.
Ummm today was a pretty interesting day. Nick had stayed over again to watch the OC with me (wow, losers!) and we woke up later than we wanted to. The tiny mouse that has been living in my room had been caught in a sticky trap that my mom bought, and I was thoroughly upset. My mom was screaming and wouldn't go within 20ft of it even though it obviously couldn't go anywhere lol. I took it outside and tried to help it free, but it was no use =( I didn't wanna rip its legs/skin off by pulling it away from the goo, so I hadda leave it there and that kinda ruined my morning =(.
Amazingly I made it to work on time and my day there went pretty fast. Later I had a piercing mishap which is still upsetting me. Zach was piercing the right side of my lip, and lack of communication kinda fucked that up. Seeee, being all super-scientist zach, he's not squeamish at all with blood and needles since he disects animals while their still alive o.O, so i figured why not teach him how to pierce? lol. So we made sure the jewelry and forceps were sterilized, the 14G piercing needle was already E.O gas sterilized, and we had sterile latex gloves. I numbed, disinfected, and marked the spot I wanted pierced, and assumed he knew the angle to put the needle through. Umm. Wrong. The pain was more than I had expected, but w/e I didn't mind that, as soon as the needle came out I grabbed a mirror to put the ring through, and was like wtfffffff. Basically he gave me a vertical labret piercing...aka the needle went in below my lip and went up and out the top... not the inside. I think it was a mixture of me not telling Zach where it was supposed to go, and him not holding the forceps tight enough that my lip didn't slide out. Oh well. It only bled a little, and it's pretty much healed already, there's just a tiny bump on the inner top thats kinda sore. So I guess I'll just wait a day or two for the bump to completely go away before I do it the right way... Or I have Rob do it the right way lol. Pooo, i'm so anxious to have it done already. It was funny because my mom was freaking out as if I just taken a bullet in the face, she was like, "OMFG should i take you to the HOSPITAL?!?" even though I was like sitting at the table eating when I mentioned that I had a piercing mishap earlier, and there's NO way you can even tell that it was pierced from the outside. But if you know my mom im sure this makes sense.
After all that Zach and I picked my brother up from his football practice, had dinner at my dads, and then picked my sister up from her friends. And now I'm bored. Every night since like Halloween I've gotten into such a nighttime routine of making 7-11 runs and watching the OC with Nick that I feel a little lost not doing that right now haha. I need to rediscover what else there is to do in my house. Errrrrr I just realized that its 4am and I have to be up for work in 3 hours, so nevermind finding something to do. I realllyy hope I hear my alarm clock and wake up =(

..So I gave up on trying to get my files from my camera's memory card after it tried to eat Nick's computer, and I just reformatted it. So now it's working at least, and I took some cool pictures of friends on it... And then proceeded to forget it in a music study room in Rob's dorm building =( But he found it, so all is good, i just have to pick it up tomorrow.
It's good to finally be home tonight, I've ended up staying in someone's dorm every night for what feels like the past week, even though i know it hasn't been that long. It's definately been at least 3 or 4 days though. Which is gross because i've had no change of clothes other than nick's silky zebra print pj pants last night lol. Apparently my sister thought I left for good or something because she moved all of my music out of the folders they were in and into one big mess of a folder she titled "uuuu". Apparently my music is not cool enough to share a folder with the likes of 50 Cent.
The last few days were fun, but there's such a blur as to what happened each day because i didn't really go to sleep between them. I do know that this morning (at like 2am) there was a lot of ping-pong and laundry-doing with dillion, nick, alex, and a girl whose name i didnt catch... and then some exploring the basement in the student union. Then i went back to nicks to watch a movie, but we decided it was too late (4:30) and just went to sleep. I hadda wake up at 9:30am to take my psychology midterm, which was much easier than i thought it would be considering i never go to class... and it only took like 40 mins. Then I went back to sleeping until 5:00pm lol. When i got up Rob felt sick so we went out to get chicken noodle soup and Rob X found us and ate with us. I went to my Art History class at 7pm, and then met up with everyone again afterwards. But not before some girl signed me up for a Bible study group... IDK how the fck that ended up happening o.O ...Christina and I left campus to find "healthier food" for the sickly Rob, and somehow ended up at McDonalds, which still doesn't really make sense to me. We bought food, went back and ate, and then Rob felt better (McDonald's cures!) so we went downstairs and listened to Rob practice video game music (Zelda and Mario I believe) and Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody on the piano. And then people were going out to get more food, so i went home b/c im getting fat enough already, and plus the shower was calling out to me.
And now you're all caught up to where I am now. I have pictures of my daayy, but i gotta get my camera back first. It's so quuuiieeett here. I'm getting really used to only sleeping when i unintentionally pass out on a bed somewhere. It's weird having to make the concious decision to get into bed when i'm not already falling alseep.
Anywaayss, i really should force myself to get back into a somewhat normal sleeping schedule (even though its already 4 am). I'm not tired enough though =(

Rob broke my fkn camera by talking about snoop dog!! ...which is your fault because you were sleeping!!

...okay, so it didn't exactly happen that way.
but the memory card did die on me =(. I get a msg that says "format error" as soon as I turn my camera on, i can't view the pics on it, and the computer doesnt read that there are any files on my camera at all. I read that if i reformat it it'll work again, but i'd lose all my pictures, and i just took a whole set of cool pictures yesterday that i didn't get to put up yet, and that would be so sad =(. I read some stuff about how i could retieve those files by putting the card in a 'memorystick' reader or some nonsense like that.... i got kinda lazy and didn't research that more, so if anyone knows more about that, like how much a cheap one would run me and how it works, i'd appreciate some info.

oh and to further clarify my opening statement, my memory card decided to shit out on me right as i started taping rob mumbling stuff about snoop dog while he was browsing iTunes. And it's your fault... because chances are, you, like everyone else, was sleeping at the time... which is why we were BORED OUT OF OUR MINDS. Because all of the world apparently went to bed at 10:30 tonight and didnt want to hang out with us even though we are so awesome.

ugh, im so angry, i really wanted to play with those pictures tonight =(
anyways, i'm off to bed because there's nothing better to do.

ok, it was 1:00am, and i got really bored because jesse and annabel decided to fall asleeeeeep instead of hang out wif me =P
...but anyways, these are eye shots ONLY, because i was too lazy to redo my whole face with makeup.

Ughhh i just woke up at it's already noon. another day of missing my morning classes. pooo.

Anyways, I'm sooo looking forward to tomorrow, I'm going into the city to see 30 Seconds to Mars =) can't waiiiittt! I took off of work in the morning too, so tomorrow should be a great day. Unfortunately my paychecks this week, and next, are going to totally blow because i took off for the halloween party last weekend =( oh well.
But on the positive side of things, work at Hyundai is even better than ever because I was able to get world of warcraft on the computer without a problem... so working there now consists of getting paid for sitting on myspace, facebook, and lj, and eating, listening to music, and playing WoW. And there's the occasional customer and phone call mixed in =)

I don't know if I should be mad at, or love Jesse for telling me to start playing WoW... because once again I've become addicted to another video game. And its just like Runescape(<333) with better graphics =D

So on a more serious note, I read through my friends page on here, and everyone is so full of drama... their own, their friends... Idk, it's weird because even back in high school I never remember being concerned over that kinda stuff. Of course theres a week every once in a while that theres a little drama that stresses me out, but never the complex web of drama that all my friends seem to share. Maybe it's because I'm an outsider and can't relate, but I don't see why everyones so stressed out over such bullshit.... get over it. grow up. if your friends piss you off, find new ones. if your parents piss you off (and FYI if they're making you so angry you talk about it all the time you OBVIOUSLY care what they think) then reach some kind of compromise.
Maybe it's just me, and maybe I should be more concerned with things going on in my life, but I rarely stress out... and it's wonderful. My parents are soo high-strung, and are always bugging out over little things... i would never want to be like that... Last year my family went through so much shit both financially and with my parents separating that I think all the stupid crap with friends just seems petty. Plus, I watch my gangsta little sister's drama filled life of a different best friend each week, and making the ex-best-friend's life a living hell... complete with slashing tires, hospital visits, and police. Wouldn't touch that shit with a 10ft pole lol
It's also quite possible that i'm such a lazy person that it takes too much effort to stress out about social stuff. or any stuff for that matter. I think zach would agree with that point. That could be why I get along with zach so well, because I can't even imagine zach stressing out about drama with friends. Zach only gets stressed out over things involving ecoli, and pea-tree dishes, and periodic tables =) haha
Btw, nothing was directed at one person in particular, and I didn't mean to offend anyone. If you enjoy the drama thing, who am i to judge?

Anyways, I need to get back into the photography thing because it made me feel way more productive than the playing-video-game thing. I'm happy I started getting back into dying people's hair too... thank you for being a lovely test subject jesse =)
Okay, so it is now that time where i wonder why I bothered writing all of this, and I go get myself i giant measuring cup full of cereal and get back to WoW.

I just read my last post, and I'm wondering why I have chosen a studio art major in college when apparently I knew a year ago that that was a bad decision...
gheeey.

when i think about it, i don't think all that much has changed in the past year, and that's kind of upsetting (i think).
i met cooler people and i chopped off my hair, right now that's all that stands out as a change.
i'm thankful i made it out of high school. senior year was quite possibly the worst year of my life.

i ate way too much today, and i feel sick.
i stripped the section of pink out of my hair a few hours ago and i'm replacing it with red to match my halloween costume for a costume party this weekend. i think jesse and annabel are coming with zach and i, and that makes me oh-so-happy =)
i should really get this dye out of my hair and go to bed because i'm supposed to meet rob at stony brook tomorrow at 2:00 so i can get a shirt from him that zach will be wearing for the party this weekend.
thats it really. i just remembered that this journal existed and i felt like rambling.
*yawn* ...so tired.

oh, and a big heellllllooo to all the peeps i used to talk to on here that i havent heard from in fo'eva!

It's been a whilllllleeeee since I've seen on here... Life has been really hectic for the past few months!!
-Going to Pratt over the summer was fun, but I think it made me realize that Painting and Drawing is NOT something I want to major in at college.
-My senior year in school has started ...and it SUCKS.
-The only thing I have really accomplished since last I posted is finishing several video games. And then beating them for 2nd and 3rd times.
-A few weeks ago I quit my job bussing tables at Z Pita, and I now have an ~AMAZING~ job working at Gamestop =D I love everyone I work with, and it's sooo much less stressful than working at a restaurant.

And for lack of anything else to say, here's an acrylic painting I did while at Pratt:

ok, now comment! i miss so many people that i used to talk to from here!

I just got back from seeing Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy at it's first showing at 12:00am with a bunch of awesome people and a whole lot of awesome towels.

=D

"The Guide lists April 30th as Galactic Towel Day, a holiday of major importance in the few places where the month of April is observed. The celebration of Galactic Towel Day was decriminalized in Earth Year 2005 to correspond with the day after the release of a certain comedy film on a planet which has been made by Slartibartfast to look and behave exactly like one which has been destroyed in a paralell universe. Galactic Towel Day is celebrated in movie theaters, every April 30th, by finding a new use for your towel at exactly the moment when the character named Ford mentions the importance of towels."
