Fell & Twitch

So tonight.. well I guess last night was the final menswear show for the third years. I'm not exactly stoked on the photos I got of my outfit, or the fact that the model never took off the cardigan, so my best piece didn't get shown. No matter.. Connor's gunna model it for me so I can get some good shots for my portfolio. I'm getting Lindsey to come over to model my Edward Gorey-esque winter coat today so I can get some photos of that too. Kristina's going to do the hair and makeup.

I dunno, one more skirt to design and make by monday, and an illustrator project due thursday and my summer officially starts. I guess that's something.

keep track

things i gotta do:

sleep an hour or two if i can.

finish the menswear illustrations.

throw together some powerpoint presentation.

get my texting fixed on my phone.

finish construction details.

seam rip the blazer.

design that skirt.

make that skirt.

do that illustration project.

i need some days like this.

we were a stroke of luck,

we were a gold mine, 

they gutted us.

well i did my best.

to

keep

my

head.

i bought pants today.

actually a huge deal. sadly. hahaha

jill didn't believe me when i told her.

i think alot of people will actually be shocked which is hilarious. i haven't worn pants in like 3 years.

picked them up from urban outfitters. so comfy. 6% spandex or something like that. what can i say, i need them to fit like tights if i'm gunna get around to wearing pants. why sacrifice the comfort? i'm perfectly ok with super stretchy fabrics when i'm not sewing 'em. hahaha

old snow patrol never lets me down.

i don't really know what it is but whenever i'm bummed out this song always makes me feel better. 

i guess i just find it cute that someone could write it about someone else. 

i dunno, i guess that makes me hopeful. 

lame? maybe. 

but i don't really care.

while i'm on the subject i might as well throw up run too. hot damn i love old snow patrol.

pretty little things.

make lists, try to stick to the plan.

things i gotta do today:

sleep an hour or two if i can.

finish the menswear illustrations.

throw together some powerpoint presentation.

get my texting fixed on my phone.

finish construction details.

seam rip the blazer.

design that skirt.

... 4 out of 7 is good enough for me today.

oh conor, so hopeful.

There was this book I read and loved

The story of a ship

Who sailed around the world and found

That nothing else exists

Beyond its own two sails

And wooden shell 

And what is held within

All else is sure to pass

We clutch and grasp

And debate what's truly permanent

But when the wind starts to shift

There's no argument

I sing and drink and sleep on floors

And try hard not to be annoyed

By all these people worrying about me

So when I'm suffering through some awful drive

You occasionally cross my mind

It's my hidden hope that you are still among them

Well, are you?

+++

huh, so do deadlines.

oh hey summer

i honestly don't know what i would have done without my friends this week.
especially kristen and jill.
proving yet again it's good to know great people.

i didn't want to go to bed, and i didn't want to stay up late.

I wonder if it's bad how this has basically described me since high school. 

and still does. 

either way, I still love it. 

I guess I just find it comforting.

I didn't go to work for a month

I didn't leave my bed for eight days straight

I haven't hung out with anyone

'Cause if I did, I'd have nothing to say

I didn't feel angry or depressed

I didn't feel anything at all

I didn't want to go to bed

And I didn't want to stay up late

When you're living your life, 

well, 

that's the price you pay

Whenever I breathe out, you're breathing it in

Whenever I speak out, you're taking it in you, now

I'm feeling this positive/negative, positive/negative

I didn't go to work for a month

I didn't leave my bed for eight days straight

I haven't hung out with anyone

'Cause if I did, I'd have nothing to say
