oh for the love of wires!


you know, i read all these blogs about life and decorating and junk and they talk about making your bedroom "sexy" or a place to relax, make it pretty, make it look like something out of a magazine... i tried but I think these "sexy" bedrooms only exist for the people that don't have men living with them or have many other rooms that don't have to be sexy. our bedroom is cramped and jumbled with recording gear and while i had brief frustration with it i realised Matt being happy with the set up is more important that the attempts to have a life in a magazine or blog. and lesson learned! next place we move will have a room just for his junk.

some days...


i feel i have nothing worth telling you about. today is most certainly one of those days, however i am trying to write more often so i will push myself to post and let you into my life just a little more.
well to start I'm highly detail oriented and i supposed that's OCD for most. even the simplest of things i want to look pleasing to my eye.
i always choose design over function... if it were up to me those ugly black office chairs would all be burned.
you can never go wrong wearing black. so much of my wardrobe is black, its classic and timeless and you'll hardly look back and say ugh! why did i wear that?!
i loathe most trends, i don't understand vegans that are unhealthy vegans... seems they are missing the point.
anyways that's enough of my life for today, enjoy your own!

blurrrr


Yes, that is my closet.... scary... so tiny. how will i fit anything in it? my life as of lately has been all about the idea of minimalism and i must say we could all think about it and take a page or two. You become a conscience shopper, a "make things work with what you have" person and i think everyone benefits from it.... except maybe the retail industry.
this week is flying by and I'm starting to get worried i don't have time to do all i need. i was supposed to work until the 14th and start my new job on the 17th which doesn't give me any time to get much done since I'm working sooo much. so the date has been moved forward to leave work. there is just no way i can do all that i need to and work so next week is all about cleaning out my room and donating items and moving into my new place with Matt and getting life set up in a new city.
Ive been asking people how they felt when in a similar situation and all of them have said it was emotionally taxing at times so I'm preparing for the worst and hoping for the best. its all about taking yourself out of your comfort zone and not holding yourself back by fears. I'm told I'm such a social person i should have no troubles making friends and i already know a handful of people so maybe its all rainbows from here on out.... one can hope.
on an interesting note Ive learned I'm very picky when it comes to the purchase of lamps... who knew?
I go into my new job to train this saturday... i hope i enjoy answering phones all day, i cant imagine it to be a fantastic job but bearable would be nice.
