I have this urge to play "Konstantine." Will do that when I get home. "It's not hard to dream you'll always be my Konstantine..."

Got to hang out with Andrew last night...^-^ Went to see Talledega Nights, or however you say it. I normally don't really like Will Farrell but this was really funny. "Sweet, sweet little baby Jesus, lying there in your golden woolen diapers..." XD It all went really well; I was wishing I didn't have to be home at 10:30 (mer...). But he's cool ^_^

Couldn't sleep again last night. I swear, one night completely threw me off. What was funny is that once I did get to sleep, I woke up completely randomly at 5 and was wide awake...and couldn't get back to sleep until my alarm went off at 7. Then I slept between snoozes. XD Weird.

I think I'll go sleep on those incredibly hard benches they have upstairs...

"Look, little emo brother! You don't have to go hungry anymore!"

I go through these fads, see. I'll just be going on through my day and SoCo or JM will come on my iPod and it's like a kick in the mouth how amazing Andrew McMahon is. I honestly can never get used to his musical genius. He is totally my all-time favorite artist.

<3

Worked a bit today. It was my first official day or whatever waiting tables. I made lots of money!!! So I went shopping (whee!) and picked up another pair of jeans at AE. They're black. I've never had a pair of black jeans before. These are shexshay!

Have a test tomorrow. And a final the next day. Mer...But it'll all be worth it if tomorrow night works out I guess ^_^

OK, I'm sorry. But I just have to scream right now...

My red-bottomosity is taking over with a vengeance!!! I must take it firmly in the hand and say, "NO! BAD! You know glaciosity is much better!" OK, raise your hand if you just understood what I said. No one? Good. It's prolly better that way.

My cheeks hurt from smiling so much. I can't help it.

"Look, little emo brother! Now you don't have to go hungry anymore!" XD

August 5, 2006
Haha! AE hours come back from the grave.

Yay! I got to work at AE today ^_^ I really have a lot of fun there. Organizing the clearance rounders is like my thing XD Call me crazy, but I think it's fun. And I get to work tomorrow, too, for atleast 4 hours. Whee! I saw mah Brent-brent at work, lol. So that was a nice surpise. I also saw Joe, who I had judo with when I was like 11. And I saw Molly, our neighbor who I never see ^^;;

BTW...I passed out at AE yesterday. It was really weird and kinda scary. And embarassing for my co-workers to see me all "Duhhh-blheaskdhgjd"-ish. I was so messed up. They were all really nice, though. But I'm fine now, thank goodness.

Hostessing tonight. Maybe I'll make some moola. Just a little, please. I have two more hours til I need to go. Maybe I'll take a nap. Have been in overdrive for the past few days. Whirrrrr...

Oh, dat keetun! I luv hermses! *cuddles kitty* *sigh* what would I do without my cats? I think I'll die being in NYC without one...

A little Project Runway comments and what-not

So, mah people. Who watched Project Runway last night? I was so happy when I got off work in time to catch 50 minutes of it. Yay! But hey, wow, look who got kicked off! Keith, hahahaha. He totally deserved it. I mean, come ON! Did you really think you could get away with having, omg, pattern books and design text books at hand?! Honestly. He says he didn't use them but I'm thinking that he probably glanced through them a bit. He's a men's wear designer, right? Never done womes wear. And then for the past few challenges he has put out absolutely gorgeous, impeccable dresses that are to die for. Beginner's luck? I don't think so.

Kane is so cute. Every time I see him my mind goes, "Oh, little pageant teddy bear!" Lol. Just thought I'd add that in.

The Chicago Tribune had a lovely little interview with Tim Gunn from the show. He gives an update on Daniel Vosovic! “My darling little Dan has become a terrible diva. And it’s really unattractive. … He’s been offered several jobs. He’s turned down everything. They’re not good enough for him.”

1, 2, 3...AWWWWWW! *kiss kiss kiss kiss* XD

And also, remember my first entry on this site? Talking about Chloe's 80s-prom-queen-esque disgrace of a winning colletion? Tim Gunn agrees with me. Read the interview.

I am definately considering having a Project Runway finale party! E-mail me if you're interested ^_^

Been looking at colleges some more. Erg! Interestingly enough, going to the Fashion Institute of Design in NYC (7th Avenue!) would cost the exact same as going to UT Austin. What?! FIT here I come! Well...maybe. Lol....That's where Daniel went *blush* ^^;; Oh my gosh, but what a dream! And I mean there's an academic honors program there, too, believe it or not...Mmm, this hoodie's warm...Yeah so looked there. God, I hope I can get some scholarships. I need more sewing skills...I need to develope a killer portfolio. For FIT I have to send in slides of fashion sketches and completed designs. Which means I need a form...Which is $200. Oh dear. And I want my peep-toes! *pout* Oh my gosh, I kep thinking, "New York, New York, New York, New York..." Yeah, I recognize that I get caught up in the of the industry and cities and pretty clothes and stuff, but I'm so willing to work hard and get what I want! I want to get the best education I can and work as hard as I can and give it my all. *sigh* This college stuff is taxing...

Researched trends for the fall and went about sketching last night for a few good hours (finished listening to 1776 in the process!), and I came up with a new theme: Asian grunge, and churned out two definate pieces that would fit. I'm thinking oversized cardigans with really tight and really long sleeves (had this cool idea of letting the ends of the sleeves serve as like fingerless mittens, if you can understand what I mean), brass buttons, off-the-shoulder jackets, faded and vintage-y fabrics, wool plaids, leggings, distressed canvas shoes...Hm. That Japanese part comes in with kimono influences, like lots of thick collars, wrap-around shirts, diagonals, wide cloth obi-ish belts. Sounds fun ^_^ Funny how I get ideas, then sketch, then make mood-boards to fit my sketches. Something's wrong here, no?

Back from Hippie-a-go-go and waiting for economics class to start. Mer.

UT Austin was awesome...but I'm definately not going to go there for fashion design. They put it in Natural Sciences, for God's sake, and make you take calculus and physics, and if I wanted to be in the honors program, I'd have to do scientific research and write a thesis...One apparel design?! Come on! That's got to be the most misplaced major I've ever heard of.

So. Been looking at better schools...Pratt Institute: $29,000/year + room, board, books, student fees. Parson's School of Design (a DREAM!): $28,000 + all the goodies of a roof over my head and food. Hm...You know, I'll bet that only seems expensive to me because I live deep down in Texas. Things are a lot pricier in NY. Take roast beef sandwiches: $20, not including condiments. That's because people "make more" dollar wise.

Wow, this comp is really noisy.

Might get a laptop tomorrow. Am praying and crossing my fingers.

Yeah, this comp is so noisy I think I'll quit. It's aggravating the hell out of me.

Teen Court's tonight! You know what that means ~_^

Manon

July 22, 2006 (Later...)
Working on a new layout

Yup. It's going to be very summery and colorful. Shway. I've had this lay forever it feels like.

Also took some links off, particulary those HP RPs. Yeah, that fad lasted what? Two days? Lol.

Mer...am so bored...Want to do something...but *cough cough* I have not the energy. I think it's the black lung, Pop.

Dude...I slept so much today...I'm like tired but wired. What a shweet combo. I lead such a boring life! AGH! Wish Teen Court was more often. So I could see deh certain people. OK, so you couldn't really tell, but I was saying that with my Liberian professor's accent. "Oh-kee, mah pee-pul!" Ah, he me up. Keeps your attention, though.

Have you ever been hit in the head by an exploding biscuit can's biscuit dough? I haven't, and thank God. Knowing me I'd prolly think it was my brains leaking out...Yeah, that was random. Whatchu staring at?

OH I LOVE MY KEETUNS!

=^._.^= *meow*

July 22, 2006
I fell in love with Andrew McMahon all over again!

So yeah. Dad picked up a CosmoGirl for me since I'm such a sickling (how cool is that, to have a male in your life who bring home little ie magazines for you?), and there was an article on Jack's Mannequin in there. I saw the concert pics and was like, "Haha, dude, I saw them!" And then it hit me and I was like, "Haha, dude, I MET HIM!"

So then I was like, "Hm...why is JM absent from my iPod? Needless to say I've been listening to his gorgy vocals all day. God, please bring me a musician.

So. What else. Am still somewhat sick. Sick enough to not be able to pull a full day's waitressing. Thank you, Ken, for letting me off early. Beware the bird flu. What else, again? Played piano. I have to transcribe "Konstantine" for Brent. Must must must. And for myself, pretty much, too. God, I love that song. Once more, the genius of Monsieur McMahon.

Em...Watched Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. I must say it took me forever to get what was going on. But golly gee whiz, Elizabeth Taylor has purple eyes! News to me...

Hm. Apparently I'm not sick enough to get out of doing dishes. Ciao.

Manon

July 21, 2006
*cough* Sick...*cough*

Eerrrr...Am sooo sick. Flu-like. Mer. Three days now. My nose feels like a dried-up pickle. Not so cool. Yesterday I had to leave class early and then today I had to skip out on work ;_; Hopefully tomorrow I'll be able to go back, though. Have a double to pull.

Today's Sam's birthday. The kiddo's 12. Holy shee-yut. I still remember helping Mom change his diapers O_o Don't really want to think about that now, though. Ethan and I got him the new Halo graphic novel. He loved it. Yay ^_^

Shout-out to my BMF! BRENT! Happy birthday, buddy! I'll call you later tonight. Hopefully by then I'll be able to talk >_<;; Come see me when you can ^_~ We can go star-gazing again ^^

Got my Sims game back. I wonder if architecture is as easy as the game makes it? That mah favorite part - just making the buildings and clubs and houses and what not.

Em...was going to say something else, but I've completely forgot it now. Oh yeah. Project Runway is back with season three!!! Aaaaahh! But Malan should not have gone!!! No no no! I mean, he was a snot and all that, but I really liked his background story and I thought he added an vileness to the show XD I loved his demonic little Pee-Wee laugh. Mwahahahaha!

Dishes. Oh god. I it. I'm sick. Ethan should do it for me...

Manon

July 19, 2006
So the world is upside down, and I'm fine with it

Yup. Single now. And it's cool with me. I hope we'll be able to be friends soon. I harbor no hard feelings. Those 13 months were great while they lasted.

Saw Anna today! Whoot! I lurve that chica. I don't know what's happened over the past one, maybe two, years, but it's like we picked up right where we left off. Yay for friends ^_^ We're gonna have a sleep over really soon, give each other make-overs, and have a glam-glam-gorgy for new MySpace pics. I haven't done that in a year, so some of my pics are seriously dated. We will the beautiful - - - - -s. Whee!

Had a test in mEcon. Wasn't nearly as hard as I thought it would be. And the random questions worth 47 bonus points wasn't bad either O_O I'm serious. 47. It's like manna from heaven.

Tomorrow I'm going to try going to church. I haven't been to the youth group at DBC in like...three years? Since 9th grade, so yeah, i think that's right. But I'll only go if Brent's going. Otherwise I'd be kinda outta place, and the group's so big. That was one of the reasons I quit going. There were just too many people, and it was way to easy to feel lost and anonymous there. Hm. We'll see how it goes.

Only have call-ins for the next two weeks. Merde.

Think I'm coming down with a cold. Just took some Theraflu and I'm about to drop off into (hopefully) dreamless oblivion. 'Night night.

Manon

PS. If anyone actually reads this, leave me a comment of lurve, pwease? I have no comments in my guestbook! And that makes me cry. First commenter gets a free cookie ^_^

My red bottomosity is taking over, slowly but surely

It is. I'm going craaaazzzzyyy. I'm bored out of my freaking mind. This is probably the only night that I'm going to be free. It was 9 and my date or what have you is suddenly canceled so now it's 10 and I'm all dressed up with no where to go. I must say I look rather cute. Got a new shirt and exchanged my jeans at AE yesterday for a K-A "Premium Vintage Wash" pair that are shooo shay. So I'm wearing that with a couple of charm bracelets and chokers and matching flip flops and it's all adorable. Mmm. This shirt is so soft...

So been working my botty off, going to school and what not, so now I'm about to DIE from exhaustion/antsiness. I need a date or something...more friends in Denton...Mom was willing to let me run around til 12 but hey, there's no one to run around with. Merde. That's a new word I learned. Lovely, ain't it? Much better than it's English equivalent, lol.

Besides running around the house screaming, "Oh my GOSH, get me out of here!!!!" I did something positive: called Anna. Haven't talked to that chica in forever and a day seems like, so hopefully tomorrow we'll get together if I'm not called in to AE at 4.

Oh my gosh I'm so antsy. Maybe I should just take the car for a spin or something. How boring.

I feel like something. There go my teenage hormones again, lol XD

VALERIE!!! MOVE TO DENTON!!! Or you can move in with me. That'd be perfectly fine with M & D. Have already checked XDD

I don't have Brent Wilson's number. MERDE!

Am totally in love with the Georgia Nicolson series. Holy cow. I actually laugh outloud.

July 11, 2006
Maybe Oreos aren't for me

Because now I feel sick. Just a few and wham, my tummy s me. Mer...

I think I'm going through a growth spurt, because I've been really hungry lately and my knees and arms ache, like growing pains. Maybe I'll eventually be tall, then get skinny, then strut about NYC. Hah. I'm so funny.

Been down lately. Don't know why. I've been keeping myself busy all the time. Worked for three days straight, ten hours each, and took a second job as a food runner/hostess of for this Thai restaurant. I hope I don't die. My weekends are completely booked now. Friday I'm at the restaurant for eleven hours, then Saturday I'm at AE from 8:30-4, then straight to the restaurant for another five hours.

Have you ever just looked at something or someone and just wanted to be sick? Not particularly because they did anything. But something just clicks and your body tells you to throw up all your angst and grief and low self-esteem and hidden fears and anxieties and curl up in a little ball and die? That happened to me twice today.

Or maybe it was something they did. One last straw that broke your back. Another brick added to your load that threw off the delicate balance you'd been juggling forever.

Or have you ever felt like you're a sitting duck? Like you...wow. My upper left arm just randomly began to ache with a dull pain...it beckons me... But sitting duck. Right. Like you're with someone, and you know they're about to kill you. Just right then and there. Like it's so obvious. It's inevitable. You'll sit there and smile and act like it's all normal but you're waiting for them to pull out the blade, and you turn away for a moment because you don't want to see them as they say the words, and stab you. "Just get it over with," you want to scream. "I know you want to. Just do it. Kill me now."

I'm so sick of drama. I'm so sick of stress and lies and sweet talk and paranoia and badgering and wishes that will never come true and false hopes and excuses and facades and indecision and cheating and self-destruction. I'm so emo. Something sets me off almost every night and I cry while trying to get lost in Wuthering Heights. I loathe myself. I look in the mirror and think "Hey, she's kinda pretty today." But inside I know I'm so screwed up. I've ruined something. It's all my fault, isn't it? It always is. Everything is always turned back on me. I'm not good enough. I'm so insecure. You know what? I am. I just want someone to take care of me sometimes. To accept me for my little stupid insignificant self and make me feel significant, because right now I don't feel that way at all, and I haven't for a long time. Make me feel cherished. Respected. Loved. Like your giving me your everything.

But I don't want to be Holden's Jane, or Heathcliff's Kathy, or Romeo's Juliet. I want to be me, and I want to be yours...Anyone's.

God, look at me. That is so pathetic. I know I shouldn't be completely dependent on someone else for self-worth. . I should be better than that...But I haven't had a kiss in what seems like forever. And look at me again - pouring myself out through a webpage for the entire world to see. But honestly, the world has to find me, first. No one reads this bull anyway. It's just a pretty journal for me to look at. Whee.

I really do live a privileged life. I have parents and brothers who love me, and one of the best friends in the world who I think I'd die without *hugs Val*. I have a roof over my head, nice clothes, food on my plate, and so many material comforts. I go to a private school because my parents care about the environment I'm in. I have a job that I love with good people to work with. I have so many opportunities.

So am I a spoiled, selfish, ungrateful, moody bitch because I have times when I'm torn to shreds inside? Because some days seem to just go completely wrong? Because I've thought of slitting my wrists before? Or can you just brush it all off with the thought that this is general teen angst that everyone goes through at one point or another, or perhaps my hormones are just roller-coastering, so it really doesn't mean anything, and it really isn't real, so why should you care?

I want to be through with it all. My senior year is a fresh start. I'm going to take my few remaining friends in arm and let go of everything else, every , everything that's held me back. I want to have fun. But with some restrictions. I don't smoke. I don't drink. I don't put out. I don't do . And I won't. God, how did I get to this? Well, anyway. This coming year I'm going to work hard on school, but leave the drama behind.

Here's a plea to all my friends: Hold me accountable. God, I want to be good so badly. I want to be spotless and perfect for you, whoever you are, who I'm destined for. Don't let me think its cool to snog whoever, whenever. I'm not saying my actions are dependent on you, lol. I'm trying. But help me. But oh yeah. No one reads this.

By the way, I did this the other day. I sketched it with pencil, then copied it onto the computer and redid it. My first successful experience with Adobe Photoshop. I'm highly proud of it ^_^

God. Who's bipolar?

So today. Wow. Let's write something about today besides wanting to throw up. I went to my second microeconomics class. I really like it! Can you believe it? Dr. Wreh is so funny, and I totally get everything.

When I got home I listened to Wuthering Heights some and made Greg a dealie-bopper what-cha-ma-call-it. Basically I found all my embroidery floss and made a long thing with knots that looks really pretty. I guess it could be...a bookmark...or a bracelet. Or just a dealie-bopper what-cha-ma-call-it.

Then I got out my lovely colored pencils, kept listening to WH, and doodled for about three hours. Here's the final result. I'm proud of that two. Slytherin school ^_^

July 5, 2006
Happy belated July 4th, everyone!

Yesterday was pretty cool. I saw the city parade with Ethan and Mom, and ran into Mrs. Attwood and Taylor while there. Sam and his boyscout troop were throwing candy from a float. Sam often says he doesn't like BSA at all and complains about it, then has a marvy time chucking suckers at children. He shouldn't complain.

After the parade I went to work, which wasn't really that bad, as I actually had something to do...Unpack sandals XD But that's fine because I saw these cute moccassins that are about to come out that I just might snag for the school year. It also helps that I get paid an additional 50% of my pay because I worked a hol. Yay for money!

Immediately after work I met Greg at UNT and headed out to his place for a little chillaxing. Fun stuff ^_^ Fell asleep on the couch. Love sleeping. Anyhoo.

Then dropped Greg off at his dorm and saw the city fireworks! Yay! It was the best show ever, honestly! I love fireworks. A lot a lot a lot. Then the fam helped clean up the stadium with the scouts. I felt really accomplished, though afterwards I stank more than I ever had before. Trash and sweat. Eeww...Still CS hours, so I'm not complaining.

Been brushing up my RP skilths. Hogwarts style. I've only completely read the first of the HP series, but I like the whole premise and the world it's set in. So. As you can see I added three new links. Those are the sites I'm a member of, all under the name "Giselle Darkflower." Whee whee whee all the way home. I like MAM because it has classes, but unfortunately not many people. TWF is supposed to be great, but there aren't any classes and no one replies to my messages. HEX is pretty stupid. Graphic based. Think dinky Neopets. I don't know why I even put it up there. Anywoo, if you join any of those sites, send me an owl ^_^

Manon

June 27, 2006
I realized I have a very big nose in the morning...Huh.

Mer...Also. Never sleep on wet hair. I had like seven cowlicks and a few extremely flat parts.

Yesterday was so much fun. The fam plus Jacob plus Greg went to Turner Falls up in OK for the day. We swam in a lagoon, climbed little waterfalls, explored caves, and even walked around inside the Old English-style castle. That part was so cool because normally all entrances are barred off, but someone had apparently ripped one of the doors off, so we could walk around inside. The people who used it as a summer home must have been short! The ceilings were only 6 feet high. Wish we had a flashlight so we could explore more of the place. Next time, though.

I'm reading The Poisonwood Bible by whats-her-face Kingsolver. Really good, guys. Take a look at it.

Found a website that's double cool with knobs: NetLibrary. It's an online library and you can borrow e-books and audio books. What's more, my fellow CDA seniors, they've got 1776 on audio so you can listen to that while playing your computer games or surfing the web. Yay.

I'm away laughing on a fast camel.

Manon

June 16, 2006
Um...Why did I make this site again?

Really, why? Cos I haven't really been doing much to it, and now that I think about it, it's prolly not a good idea to publish your neophyte ideas on the internet where anyone could get their hands on it and steal it...Mer...So the links don't work, people. I don't want them to XD

Well, today was different. A nice break from the ordinary. And by ordinary I mean the schedule I set up to me broken down into 15 minute increments for the next six days or so. I woke up, lazed around, talked the parents about really nothing, petted Ditto until about...1? Then drove to the library (I'm getting MUCH better at driving, thank goodness) with Mom and checked out a bazillion books...eight of which were mine. But still. Eight. Tacked onto the four I got yesterday...Tacked onto the 60-something on my list to read this year. Delicious, though. I love coming home with new books. They're all pretty much pleasure-reading, though. Nothing heavy. Well, actually, I got a book on Norse mythology and another on the Eldar Edda, the (Icelandic?) epic poem that inspired Tolkien to write his books. But everything else is like "Angus, Thongs, and Full-Frontal Snogging," which is like a younger version of Bridget Jones. At the rate I'm reading it (half-way through) I'll have a rather extensive British vocabulary in no time. Maybe I'll teach all the words to my friends so we can talk about other people without them understanding, saying that they're getting "shirty" and what not, lol. Still love our "slort" though, Matt.

But back to the extra-ordinary day. We went to the pool! Omg, I haven't been there in forever, like since I was a wee tot. Ok, fine, like eight. It was really nice, because now that the nautitorium and water park have been built, there's hardly anyone there. So Sam and Erik and Ethan played for a while while Mom and I laid out in the sun. Delicious. I love using that word, lol. Ethan came and laid out a bit, too, which was quite a big mistake as he's always been rather prone to intense burning. Poor dude is red as a lobster now. Me, on the other hand, I have been blessed with my mother's gene of tanning very easily. If I keep this up I will be a golden goddess by the time school starts. Man, you should see Sam. He's always been a pale boy, but in the sun it's like glaring. But he has so many freckles, and now that he spent a couple hours in the sun, a million sprouted all over his face, forehead, neck, and shoulders. His cheeks are practically brown, which is in sharp contrast to the rest of his pale-y-ness XD It's cute though. Healthy-looking.

Mom's making me some decaf coffee with this creme brulee half-and-half she bought. I'm so excited. Creme brulee in and of itself is to die for. I need to learn how to make it. Just for that desert I love the French.

Might be tubing with Val and the Brents Tuesday. I hope that all works out.

I start work at American Eagle on Sunday!!!! Whee!!!! Am so excited. 50% discount makes me smile. Money makes me smile. Cute clothes make me smile.

Love and kisses,
Manon

Goodbye, my lover...

Did I disappoint you or let you down?
Should I be feeling guilty or let the judges frown?
'Cause I saw the end before we'd begun,
Yes I saw you were blinded and I knew I had won.
So I took what's mine by eternal right.
Took your soul out into the night.
It may be over but it won't stop there,
I am here for you if you'd only care.
You touched my heart you touched my soul.
You changed my life and all my goals.
And love is blind and that I knew when,
My heart was blinded by you.
I've kissed your lips and held your hand.
Shared your dreams and shared your bed.
I know you well, I know your smell.
I've been addicted to you.

Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.

I am a dreamer and when i wake,
You can't break my spiri - ' my dreams you take.
And as you move on, remember me,
Remember us and all we used to be
I've seen you cry, I've seen you smile.
I've watched you sleeping for a while.
I'd be the mother of your child.
I'd spend a lifetime with you.
I know your fears and you know mine.
We've had our doubts but now we're fine,
And I love you, I swear that's true.
I cannot live without you.

Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.

And I still hold your hand in mine,
In mine when I'm asleep.
And I will bare my soul in time,
When I'm kneeling at your feet.

Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.

I'm so hollow, baby, I'm so hollow.
I'm so, I'm so, I'm so hollow.
I'm so hollow, baby, I'm so hollow.
I'm so, I'm so, I'm so hollow.

No talent show, but prom was awesome

Well...I can't do a collection for the talent show. It's just not humanly possible at this point. Turns out that there are going to be tryouts at a yet-undetermined date and the show is at the end of the month. So I'd have to come up with atleast one piece ASAP and then have like 2 weeks to make 5 more. That combined with finals and AP testing prep would drive me insane so...Wah ;_;

But last night was prom and it was amazing! I had sooo much fun. Just about everyone from school was there, and some people from last year's senior class came, so it was good to see them again. I still can't believe that the seniors are leaving!!! These people I've known for 5 years! *sigh* But...It was awesome. We even had a long techno block, and smart mommy bought us glow sticks, so we all raved until we couldn't lift our arms anymore. Everything was beautiful and romantic and I had my best friends with me so I was happy.

Afterwards Greg, Valerie, and Coleman came over and we had mamosas and breakfast. Then we watched Shawn of the and then slept slept slept good, blissful, much-needed sleep.

As soon as Val and I woke up we got dressed and went to watch our adorable little boys as they slept. I love Greg. He's beautiful. He's so good to me. I love him. Love love love...

I'm uploading my photos to PhotoBucket. When it's all done I'll post links to the albums up here.

First fashion show!

Woohoo! I'm finally going to have my first fashion show! Yessss...Many thanks to Melissa Hockman for the whole idea of the talent show. God, I am SO excited. Already began inspiration and research and I decided on Asian/Geisha-ish influences for sportswear. I'm aiming for a 6-piece collection, but seeing as the talent show is at the end of April, I might not get that many. Lol, I already have the music picked out and everything.

So, once again, recruiting s. I have one, will probably need a minimum of two others, maybe more. Talk to me at school!

If only I had my dress form...I really need it now. I thought my uncle had one tucked away from his designer days but apparently not >_< And I have to special order it and wait six weeks blah blah blah. Not to mention they cost a lot more than I thought they would. God, I need money...

Recruiting s

Note to self: forever Heidi Klum, Michael Kors, Nina Garcia, and Debra Messing, along with all involved in Project Runway

Just finished watching the season finale of Project Runway. Oh, my God, I was weeping profusely. Honest. It's not fair! Daniel had everything. He was the hope of every fashion design student who believed that, with amazing talent and impeccable production, it is possible to make it to the top. He totally should have won. Stupid politics are the only reason Chloe won. Wouldn't want to have another white homosexual male win again, would we? God, her whole collection was terrible. Like...80's prom queen! Honestly, she had like three color palettes going on - gold, blue, and that wretched pink and green. No variety in fabrics. What? Two prints and a bunch of satin? Gosh!

Santino deserved second place, not third, I'm sorry. He tried. He tried really hard. But I understand the judges. He tried too hard. He tamed himself to the point of docility.

Daniel, God bless his soul, should have won, hands down. He had the popular vote, too. 45% of viewers voted for him, as opposed to 35% for Santino Rice and 20% for Chloe.

Kors and Garcia are inept if they can't see the Asian accents. "I don't get it. I don't get it." How vacuous. How about the gi collar on that fabulous white double-breasted coat? I would die to get my hands on that. The high collar on the fitted black and white brocade jacket? Stunning! He worked with silhouttes (that navy skirt? Beautiful!), the colors worked, and everything was clean-cut, crisp, and drop gorgeous. I would wear anything from his collection. I saw the consistancy. I understood his concept.

Daniel Vosovic, I love you and your clothes....And I'll have your babies any day of the week, even if you're gay. Minor note, right?
