hilarious.

baby got back.

"if i could be any animal...

...i would be a moose, so i could attack and kill anything that crosses my path." i said this in an interview. yep, it's true. but in my defense, who really asks that question? if they want to base their decision on complete fantasy, then count me out. now granted, i really did not want the position and i said this partly to ensure i would not get it, but the tricky part is that it is completely true. i have an inexplicable love for mooses/meese/moosi (??) from which i cannot even pinpoint an origin. they are just these HUGE, awkward, majestic creatures that are also vicious, hideous and beautiful at the same time. go north. see one in the wild. your life will be changed. when i saw one for the first time in maine a few years ago, time stood still. call me weird, but not until you experience it for yourself. then we'll talk.

here is the site that incited this moose rave, its pretty sweet i'm not gonna lie. http://www.notcot.com/archives/2008/02/anneke_van_bomm.php

fornever!

so my last post was about well, how lifelesss my life was. however, it seems to have taken a turn in the opposite direction in these last few weeks and i almost wish i could return to the simplicity of the former monotony. as of late, my weeks consist of interning at toyota 3 days a week and attending class/interning for the galleries on campus on the other 2 days...not to mention preparing for my rapidly approaching senior show (which determines if i graduate or not), and oh yeah occasionally i like to have a social life. throw in a sorority duty here and there and the imperative march madness games and that makes for quite the jam-packed schedule. some people like to stay busy and would consider all of these involvements a joy. i on the other hand, like my free time. i live for the moments when i have absolutely no obligations or responsibilities, when NOTHING is the only thing i have to do. that hasn't happened in a while. in fact, i cannot even recall the last time i experienced such a thrill. probably when i was seven. but that would have been when having no duties was purely legitimate. since ive "grown up," when i experience these rare moments, they can never be completely void of regret or guilt. i suppose as we mature, we realize that there is always something that needs to be done and not a moment to waste. i hate that nagging feeling. so its a good thing i know how to ignore it. take that productivity.

*the title of this post does not really directly relate to the post, but im sure you can cleverly find a way to tie it in somehow ;)

to hold you over.

i wish there was something interesting in my life to report right now, but unfortunately for you (and me), my world consists almost solely of school, and after tomorrow, work. i suppose the fact that i am going in for my first day as an intern at Toyota tomorrow is somewhat noteworthy, but that is something that will not be confirmed until then. but until something more fun happens in my life, here is one of my recent photographs to hold you over as you wait in eager anticipation. right...
