cutting an apple w/ a plasitc knife

Today is my birthday... I'm 22 years old. Where I am in my life right now is not where I ever would have imagined I'd be at this age. In all actuality there are only a couple of things in my life that have turned out the way "I thought they would" I guess I'm ok with that. I mean if I wasn't there really isn't much I can do to change it now. The times I thought were going to be different are behind me already so they are in the past. I can only create less, more vauge expectations about the future so that when it comes (the future) and is different from my expectations it doesn't matter as much.

I spent the weekend in Wilmy w/ some of my closest friends. It was terrific we did exatly what I'd hope we would do which is simply hang out. No pressure to do anything or rush anywhere. I was also able to attend a PC3 service for the first time at they're new building!!! It was amazing, Mike is such a great preacher I learned so much and it was exactly what I needed to hear. During worship they even played one of my favorite songs Lead Me To The Cross by Hillsong. The message was week two of "UWALK, Move Your Soles; The Right Fit" Mike talked about so many great things like God calls us to follow him so that we are focused on him and looking in his direction; when we do this we'll be ready when he suddenly turns left, right or breaks fast. When we're not following we get lost and b/c we haven't been focused on Him. Or how God's comands are really logical human behavior and how God dropped the bar on the ground and we still have to crawl under it. Oh, another thing is how we throw scripture at our lives/ actions to justify anything we do. He was extremely sarcastic but it was needed to get his point across that we need to follow Christ and look for the fruit in our lives to make sure that we're living the way He's called us to live!

6 Weeks Library Assignment

In each of my classes we have a library assignment, in Evolution of Fashion it's due week 6 which is a week from today minus 12 hours or something. Basically the project is to research a designer and build a project about them. It could be to replicate something they've made or make something that you thought they would make extra. The project should be hand made, creative and something that would be put into a display case. As far as the research is concerned you need to have about half a page typed up on your designer, I guess a bio on them.

Well....... I'm awesome and waited until the last minute to decided what designer I was going to do and what project I'd make. Christian Louboutin is the designer he makes beautiful shoes. Today I got my materials to recreate shoes that he made. !st of the materials where a lot more then I wanted to spend. $25-$30, and it's taking me for ever to paint them along with the fact that the color I picked for the sole of the shoe isn't quite right so I have to go and buy more paint and fix it :( I know I can make it work, I just needed to vent a little. Below is what I'm trying to recreate I'll let you know how it turns out!!

2 Weeks of Life in Nutshell

School: I'm on week 5 right now out of 11. This quarter has been really easy. Well, Construction I has been easy. It's pretty much a more in depth version of Costume Production which, I took last spring. The major difference is that we use industry quality machines which are very scary. They go about a thousand miles per hour and even when they're turned off the part where the needle goes still moves up and down when you press on the petal... Fashion of Evolution is also pretty easy the teacher lectures and we do a little discussion. Sketching is the most difficult, I really just need practice it's definitely coming along I'll post a new sketch soon. Hopefully tomorrow. I've made a friend at school, his name is Dave. He's about to turn 24 and lives quite a ways away.

Work: It's good say old same old. I'm up for an evaluation, it was supposed to be last Friday but we did not have it. I'm a little nervous to ask for it. I think I'm going to ask for it after I get back from Wilmy if we haven't done it already. I really like my job some days are better then others. It's kind of difficult to stay professional while working with your step-mom. But other then that which is just occasional whatevers... everything with work is good. At work I have a friend too. Her name is Kelli, I really like her a lot she is 6ish months pregnant with a little girl, it's her second kid she has a little boy and is married. We share and office and have a great time all day laughing and talking about work. Today at lunch we watched youtube videos, the dumbest thief ever is one of the best, also I showed her Tall Will's hardcore dancing videos she really liked them.

Family: Christine is doing well, she's coming down to get Ethan in 3 weeks. The boys are coming down that weekend to so we'll all be together for the first time since Thanksgiving. My step-mom and Dad are good. Nothing new w/ them.

Other: I dunno, that's about it. All I really do is work, go to school, and hang out at home. I'm so excited to visit Wilmy in a couple of weeks!! I'm not sure exactly where/ who I'm going to stay with or how I'm going to get around b/c I'm flying. Anyone free 1:30pm on Friday August 15th... that's when I get into the dub :D
