Oh man this video is good!

Birds of a Feather

I found this picture from 1996 today. I like how well I match the bird.

Warming the Peacockles of my Heart

I really like how the flowers tuned out. I think maybe I will make a top with a bunch of thick flowers.

Run & Hit

I went to fill up at the gas station this morning. As I was leaving I was sitting in my car waiting for the oncoming traffic to break so I could merge back onto the road. After sitting there a few minutes there was finally a break and I started to scoot forward only to see a pedestrian was about to run right in front of me. I stopped. She was trying to get away from this homeless man behind her that was holding out his metro pass apparently trying to sell it to her. The man sees my quick stop and tries to take advantage of it. He throws himself on the front of my car and wiggles around a little like he has been hit. I just look at him and shake my head slowly. Seeing that he wasn't able to get the reaction he wanted out of me with his poor attempt of faking an accident he shrugged and walked away.

The Fool

Finished up this one tonight. Maybe I will do some more of the tarot pack.


The Fool travels he knows not where. So filled with visions and daydreams is he, that he doesn't see the cliff he is likely to fall over.

Thanksgiving

I went home for two days. I pretty much spent the whole time at the beach hiking and going in the secret caves that most people don't really know about. Here are some of my favorite photos. I took a lot of photos though, they are up on my flick page. http://www.flickr.com/photos/framented_light/sets/72157603287725627/

My brother


Me


My mom

I am the hunter

I heard a little pitter-patter on my floor and looked down to find this guy. I stepped on him with my pink high heel shoe. He went CRUUUNCH!

Suffering from RHS

I think I have restless hair syndrome. That is my self diagnoses. It makes just about as much sense as restless leg syndrome. I lifted a lot the dye off my hair a week and a half ago. It still has a lot of red in it though, because it is almost imposable to lifted red dye from the hair. I haven't actually dyed it in 2 months. I have an inch of natural hair peaking out on top. Anyways, I feel restless about it. Poor tortured hair, I just can't leave it alone. If only there was a medicatrion on the market so that I could battle my restless hair syndrome.

USB Hub Man

It is safe to say my evening isn't going well. However, this makes me happy. Isn't he cute? I found him on shiptheweb.com I like him lots

Oh Really

Overhead by some dude last night;

"I feel like my penis is cursed."

Pitter-Pattern

Well in my searching into vintage patterns on etsy I found some really cute patterns for super cheap. Now that I have my creation station sewing table up I've been looking for projects. Now I have more then I can handle. I bought all of these except one. I'm not telling you which one though.

Wacky Sacky

So I was searching for sewing patterns on-line today. True, I can drape and make my own patterns, I have the knowledge. However, I do not own a dress form and do not have a drafting table or even pattern paper. I thought that I could find a sewing pattern and just make a few changes to it according to what I really want. What I was hoping to do is make a holiday dress. While going through all the paper patterns I discovered that people that make their own clothes desire patterns that make them look like sacks. Not only sacks but sacks that come from the late 80's and early 90's. Hmmm, I could go in this direction but I would also have to try and find a lace chocker with a dangling metal charm on it to complete the look, perhaps also a Blossom hat would be ideal. I did discover this gem of a pattern. I would like to have a party and hand these costumes out to my guests at the door. I pretty sure it would forever be remembered as the best party ever.

Peacock-a-doodle

I finally got the new PJ Harvey "White Chalk" CD today. I had a special Borders reward for 40% off CD's for today only. Pretty good deal. It is such a beautiful, simplistic, and haunting album. I really like it. Her last album before this was my least favorite and the only one I don't listen to regularly. White Chalk is so much better. I've never heard her sound like this before. The song "Silence" is my new theme song. Which is to say in the imaginary soundtrack of my life this is the song that would be playing to represent my current state of being.

I worked a little more on my hoodie peacock embroidery tonight. Here is some photos. It doesn't really capture it too well. I'm using thick yarn instead of embroidery floss. It is chunky and three dimensional.

Orange You Glad

That weekend went by really fast. Friday night I went out to Little Bar. Saturday afternoon I went to the coffee shop and drank coffee and read. Saturday evening I went to The Staple Center with Amanda and Will to see The Kings. After not scoring the whole game in the last 5 minutes they scored a goal a minute and won. After that we went to a party at the Brewery. I was hanging out by the food looking at all the cheese crackers, and pumpkin foods, and trays of oranges when I looked up and thought that people were dressed rather strangely. I swear I was there for about 15 minutes before I realized everyone was dressed in orange and all the food was orange. I was not aware that it was an orange themed party haha. Today I went over to Lindsey's for a crafting party. I started embroidering a peacock on the back of a yellow hoodie. I left her party and headed over to Jen N's for a girl's night get together. We ate yummy foods and drank wine. *sigh* back to work tomorrow

I Would Like to Own This

Can you find it for me?

I Invite you to Invite Me

I finally made my Linked In account. If anyone is on there shoot me an invite.

pity

My dad has been going to get dialysis for awhile now. While at the dialysis center he was sat next to a girl I went to elementary school with. She told my dad that she remembered me and that she remembered that I was nice. I instantly remembered this girl when my dad told me about her. She was very short and got picked on a lot because she wet her pants. I didn't know at the time but it was due to kidney failure and health problems. I remember feeling sorry for her but was so relieved that there was someone lower then me at the bottom of the pecking order. My parents raised me very sheltered and with absolutely no social skills. For a long time I was very much like those strange home school kids that can't interact with society. I won't lie, elementary and middle school were pretty rough on me while interacting with my peers. By the end of middle school I toughened up to a point that no one would dare to bother me. By high school I made some great friendships and understood social interaction more then your average person.

Back to elementary school and to this girl. People were so mean to her. I never once said or did anything bad to her. Even at the time I knew it was cruel to be happy that someone else was there to catch the grunt of the teasing and mocking but it was still a relief. I just remember as bad as things were for me they were even worse for her and in an odd way it made me thankful. When my dad mentioned that he saw this girl I told him that I remembered her and that I use to feel bad about her getting teased so much. My dad then in turn told this girl that I remembered her and how I felt bad about her being teased. I guess she said "I know, but she was always nice to me." I was really embarrassed that he said that. If anything I wish he would have just said I said hi. I didn't want to send across a message of decades old pity. If someone remembers you from such a long time ago you don't want it to be a memory of pity. I've been thinking about her for the past week, memories that I didn't even remember I had. I was trying to think of a proper message to send through my dad, one that wasn't of pity. Then on Tuesday my mom sends me the girls obituary. She died. Tonight's her memorial. It's strange that in the last week of her life, even though I didn't even know she was that close to death, she had been on my mind. I guess that's my memorial, I just wish I could remember something besides pity.

Pop Off

There is an evil evil bastard that works at my gym. I haven't caught the person yet but they are killing me! In the middle of my work-out every now and then I smell it, the strong tasty smell of buttery microwave popcorn. This in turn makes me very hungry and I can't work-out very hard when I am hungry. Yet I can't really be mad at them. I somehow feel like if I worked at a gym I would do evil things like this as well just to make myself laugh.

awwww yeah

It’s time for two-hundred and ninety five dollars worth of purse. Aw yeah, Mr. Bouche, come on in here, and let’s get a shot of this purse.

Now I know what you’re thinkin’ “Christine, where did you get two-hundred and ninety five dollars?” Shhhhhh. Don’t worry your pretty little head about it, baby. It ain’t your concern. Now if you excuse me, I gotta whisper some sweet nothings to this purse. Oh baby, you know you got it goin’ on. Aw, you lookin’ so good, you lookin’ so right. Awww Yeah..baby







*I got the purse for free in case you think I am foolish enought to throw down that type of cash on a silly bag, I am not. It really is a $295 purse though :)

The Windup Toy

Octoheart

Today I broke out the old crusty paints and made Octoheart. He is part octopus and all heart.

Chalk Talk

In one week I get paid and in one week I will buy the new PJ Harvey album. I heard bits of it on KCRW and it is just gorgous. I love her more then any other artist. I think this is the first PJ album that I haven't gotten within the first few days it came out. I guess when you are selling clothes in order to not have your rent check bounce some things get pushed aside. I can't bring myself to illegally download it either, I just can't. I will patiently wait another week.

April O'Ween

I went to West Hollywood for Halloween night. That was a crazy time, SO MANY people. I even ran into a few ninja turtles. Most people didn't get my outfit but those that did loved it. Here is a full body picture of my outfit from last Sat. party by Ms. Lindsay. ZFor more photos of WeHo tonight check out the old flickr page http://www.flickr.com/photos/framented_light/sets/72157602820709304/
