2007 has been the most amazing year. I sat here all morning thinking about that. 2006 was a year that I completely lost track of who I was, and who I wanted to be. Then the second 2007 struck I was back, or at least I was progressing towards becoming more of myself again.

I feel more myself now than ever. In August I will be moving to the Bay Area, and really pursuing my art. Now more than ever I am determined, now more than ever I am inspired!
I have a new LCA+ from my dear Richard and I'm really excited to use it. His mother also bought me the Diana, I have lomo's everywhere!! I have to use them. I have to.

Music this year was a huge thing to me.
Paper Tiger by Beck
TV on the Radio
Bat For Lashes
Beirut
Calvin Harris
John Vanderslice
Rogue Wave
Jason Schwartzman


This year I made so many new friends too,
Becky, Ciara, Olivia. Technically I made them in 06, but I really became close to them in 07.
Late night bike rides and trips to Phoenix with Becky. California adventuring with Ciara and Olivia. Not to mention the many days just spent doing nothing and being strange. They're no drama, they're real people, they're really weird, they're really my best friends.

I went a lot of places this year, Sedona, San Diego, New York City, New Jersey, San Fransisco, Los Angeles, Fossil Creek. I jumped off of roofs into pools, and rocks into cold waters. I was more brave than I thought I could be this year, saying goodbye to bad friends and bad memories. Forgiving for things I had always said I would draw the line at. I am more forgiving than I was, I am more understanding than I was.

And I am certainly more happy than I was.

This Time Tomorrow

Travis Jansen's piece "Generally Speaking," is up at the Urban Gallery at Urban Outfitters in Tempe. Go check it out. It's the first instillation in the Urban Gallery, which will promote up and coming Arizona artist work. It's a really amazing opportunity as a company to really promote the talent we have in our state. If any of you guys want to talk about getting your work in the gallery let me know!

In other news last night Patrick Swayze Jr. passed away. I am pretty devastated, and extremely lucky to have Richard around. He was our little guy and we are really going to miss him, he was the best cat ever.

Anyways,
I woke up today and my entire face was swollen from crying myself to sleep. I was an absolute wreck last night. I didn't feel much better this morning either, but we went to extreme pita and saw a lady stealing clothes out of a donation box and that made me laugh. We collected some items that were Swayze's and put them into a drawer so that we could have a funeral, or something for him. We need closure. Then we went to The Darjeeling Limited, which was nice. It was also nice to have a break from work and etc. and just hang out with Richard in the middle of the week. As sad as I am, I could not ask for a better boyfriend.

Well, at least we still have Ms. Whiskers, she's not terribly friendly, but she's ours.
