Glue Girl

This is the only word I have.

I am longing for:
Change Hope Peace Comfort Joy Memories Love Mom Closure

I know I am supposed to be all happy and excited that my life is moving forward. I am growing and learning from my experiences and I am glad there is no more pain.

But sometimes, usually when it is late and I am all alone with my thinking. When I am feeling more alone then I have ever felt. I wish I had a rewind button. Maybe I would remember better. I would remember the smells, the sights, the love, and most of all the sounds, before it all got so messed up.

I feel like I am forgetting or letting go... Then I feel bad. I told her I would be okay. That I would keep growing, learning, and loving.

Worse then all that is that I feel like in a years time so much around me has changed and yet so much of me remains the same.

So I have started grad school. I joined a craft class online with the lovely ladies are Red Velvet Art. I checked the site like crazy before school. Post school starting all I have had time for is reading and writing about Higher Education. Don't get me wrong...I love school and learning. I love my program. The teachers and cohort are great but it is consuming my life. Literally!

Today I called the doctor because I was feeling pressure in my chest. Well that sent them into a tizzy and the made me rush to the ER. After an EKG and an X-ray, 2 Advil and 2 Tylenol, I was told it was probably stress. "Has anything stressful happened lately?" AH YEAH!!!! Life dude! I wanted 2009 to be full of change but this is taking change to far!!! So any way after a short chat and - $50 I was sent home.

Feeling over whelmed, I bought McD's Fries and went home to watch Jane Austen movies.

My go to I don't feel good movies include, anything Jane Austen, anything 80's, and anything with Meg Ryan, Barbara Streisand, Julie Andrews, or Tom Hanks.

Today was Persuasion's day to make me feel better with thoughts of love that lasts through all time and circumstances. I just bought the BBC version on Amazon and I love it!

"The one claim I shall make for my own sex is that we love longest, when all hope is gone."
— Anne Elliot in Persuasion

It did the job but then I need do home work!

Well, this is it. I am registered for classes. I have almost $500 in books to buy. I have my laptop and a nice new case. I have my eyes on a nifty rolly bag. In other words, I am gearing up for grad school.

Classes start mid August and I know life will get crazy again. I remember (sort of) being an undergrad. I also remember that I had some of my most creative times while in school.

So to keep my creative juices flowing I have joined a photo group on flickr. I am not a trained photographer but I do enjoy taking pictures with my little point and shoot.

The photo group was created by Miss B of the Blah, Blah, Blahg. Miss B said of Souvenir Foto, "I wanted to start a group to practice my new found skills and to combat 'photo block'. A lot of times my perfectionist streak gets in my way. I wanted a place where we could be creative as a collective and learn and inspire each other. I hope this is the place."


This is my submission for assignment 9 - vacation, staycation, & sunflare

I love taking videos of my little cousins. Then one day I discovered that I have video editing software on my computer! Maybe you do too! Check for Windows Movie Maker. It is really easy to use and super fun!

Check out this silly video of my cousins. They seriously kill me. They thought of the whole thing by themselves. I just followed them around trying to hide my laughter!

Mika Ticket Adventure

I got an email that Mika was going to do a free concert with Perez Hilton. To get the tickets you had to find him and a white ice cream truck in Beverly Hills. My BFF and I tracked them down and waited. We got there about 30 mins after they started giving them out.

Well they ran out, but I got really close to Mika and had fun driving around Beverly Hills and Santa Monica.
