I'm Too Punk to Go to Parties

I've been doing a lot of packing the last couple of days.
Organizing and packing.

I found this quote in a school days memory book my mom got me.
It asked me what my favorite parties were while I was in the 10th grade.
My answer was, "I'm to punk to go to parties."
Haha!

I've been going through quite a bit of old things lately.
Things that I've kept for a very very long time.

Some of it is stuff that I don't know why I still have, and some of it is stuff that I am so glad I kept. It's amazing how I can totally get lost, and forget what time it is, going through some of these things. It's really slowed down my packing process.

all of these things have made me remember some really great memories, and not so great ones. They've made me think of some people, how much I miss some of them, and others, not so much.

It's been quite a process, one that's not quite over. We've still got roughly about 2 weeks to go. Well, back to it I suppose. Hope everyone's Tuesday is going well :)

Goodbye 2008!

This is my last blog post of 2008!

Goodbye 2008.
It's been fun, but I am so ready for 2009.

So many great things are going to happen, and I am ready!
The big one of course is my move home. Eeeeeee!! I am beyond excited about this.

Also, I am going to have a solo show in California, in June, and I am already getting started on that.
Hopefully that will keep me busy through April, and it the move home won't seem like such a long wait.

2009 is also going to be the year that Michael and I can finally start our lives! Our real lives. Lives together without school, without crappy jobs, without putting our life on hold for major things to be over and done with. Maybe, just maybe, we might even get to be married :)

We are also going to get started working on our little house. New floors, new paint, a new bathroom. Yes! I am really excited about that.

Of course I am also completely excited about my work, and the direction that is going. I am hoping to continue my life as an artist. This past year I learned a million new things, so I am so much more prepared for what's coming. I am also anticipating a million new things to learn...
Hopefully, fingers crossed, I will be able to move into a fabulous studio shared with some of my friends from PSU! That is, if there is still a spot available when I move back. I'm crossing my fingers that there will be...that would be so amazing.

I'm so looking forward to how much my work will change with my move back home...I have a feeling it's going to change pretty dramatically....

Anyway, thank you all for reading my blog this year!
I hope you all have a fantastic year in 2009!!
