i might, possibly, maybe have a boyfriend!

 I AM GETTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTING MY TATTOO ON SUNDAY AT 4:30 PM!!!!!!!!!!!

pictures will most definitely FOLLOW.

i think that i might possibly be losing my everloving mind.

i have been making so many mistakes lately... stupid, ridiculous ones... i wonder if i have short-timer's disease, or if i just actually am doing too much....

 

so I have decided what I am going to get for a tattoo.

i don't care how dorky it is.  i don't care if people think i am a freak.

i am going to get a tribute to the x-files.

it is going to be a very small x (exactly like the logo)   http://blog.ugo.com/images/uploads/xfiles_logo.jpg with text written in a circle around it that says "i want to believe".

i am very excited.

1) Look at the list and bold those you have read.
2) Italicise those you intend to read

4) Reprint this list in your own LJ so we can try and track down these people who've read 6 and force books upon them."

EXCITING THINGS

1. I got awarded a Fulbright Scholarship to Teach English in Austria this coming Fall through May of 2009
2. I finished printing my photographs on Tuesday and finished spotting them late on Friday and they went to the Framer's yesterday.
3. I got a dress for the opening... it's sexy and makes me feel pretty.
4. My German Capstone Paper is finished.
5. I think my artist statement has been revised well enough to suit Terry now.
6. MORGAN EL-SHAFEY IS COMING TO MY THESIS OPENING!
7. I got to play with a Shorkie yesterday (shizh-tzu/yorkie mix)  omg.  cutest thing EVER!

NOT SO EXCITING THINGS

2. I found out that I might have to pay for my ticket to Austria... (oi. they are super duper expensive now).
3. I have to clean my entire apartment before Friday.
4. I think I've gained weight.
5. I had to turn in my swim team equipment today... it was sad.  no more spiffy speedo bag or parka.

bed time

oi....


senioritis has hit hard.

instead of studying for my german i have...

watched youtube videos
watched star trek voyager
talked on the phone
scanned negatives
stared off into space


i am feeling incredibly overwhelmed with work right now.
i can't sleep past 7 AM no matter what time i go to sleep the night before.
my stomach does summersaults all day
i only have two weeks to print my senior thesis which is 15 images... this would be fine if it was the only class i'm taking.

i also have to write a capstone paper for my german major, write a 10 page academic paper for my IDS, finish my cardboard boat, make a self-portrait sculpture for 3D design, write a response to Thesis paper, put together an artist's packet, write my artist statement, not to mention, matte, frame, and hang 15 prints, which have not been printed yet. OI.


i'm freaking out.

List ten fictional characters you wouldn't kick out of bed (in no particular order) and tag five people to do the same.


1. Fox Mulder
2. Han Solo
3. Malcolm Reynolds
4. Rick O'Connell
5. Aladdin
6. Richard Rahl (from The Sword of Truth Series)
7. Elliot Stabler
8. George of the Jungle
