I know it's been a while.
I've been crazy busy. Working. working, working. That's not really exciting so enough on that.
I've also been working on making my way to grad school this fall. I got accepted to a couple of universities in England, and I am now officially a postgraduate student at Kingston University in London. I will study Art History, my passion. I am sooo excited and just wish I was there already. It's been 2 years since I've been to the UK and I'm just itching to go back. And LIVE.
Aside from that... not much has been going on. As you know, I am really into live music and shows and have been to some pretty good ones this year. Pretty Lights in March, and the New Politics and Silversun Pickups (pictured below) just last week...
And I am going to see Green Day tour with my absolute favorite band ever, AFI, in a month.
Anyway. A lot of my old friends are settling down now, getting married and having babies. It's so fun to watch them and I wish I could be there for the weddings and various showers. I am very excited for them. I guess we're now at that age where those things start happening. But right now I am on a different path. I need to be out in the world and explore and do as much as I can... I have done a lot but it's not enough. I don't know what it is, but it's like there is something invisible pushing and prodding me forward, and I don't stay in one place or with anyone for too long. There is so much out there, and I want to see it all. I don't know where I'll be a year from now... every year since I was 20 I've lived in a different place. Utah, Massachusetts, Arizona, Italy, etc. And travelled to many, many others. Each new place is like a new episode, a new opportunity, and a different life from the last. That endless possibility is exciting and addicting. This makes me feel different from most people I know -- but I also know I am not alone in feeling this way. Everyone wants stability and security in life, and I am no different in that regard. But things haven't worked out that way for me, and I've taken that bull by the horns and am running with it.

gets me every time
I remember the first time I saw this on tv. I was blown away, and I've never forgotten it. Now, thanks to Youtube, I have watched this repeatedly.
See for yourself. Behold:
It give me chills. .... who would guess that a car commercial (and if you know me, then you know how much I loathe commercials) could be so amazing? Ahh.

20 things I love about myself.
I saw this post on a blog I read a lot, The Frisky. I decided I should do it too, because everyone should know what they love about themselves. Well, the author's list was great and I thought coming up with 30 things wouldn't be that hard. But as I got to about #14 I started feeling like I was singing my own praises just a little too much, like, I am so effing awesome I just have to tell you all about it. And I was also running out of things to list.... So here is my own list of 20.
1. I am an extremely loyal person.
2. I am very intuitive - the ability to read into people/situations has helped me too many times to count.
3. I’ll try almost anything once (if not twice, just to be sure).
4. I am a very hard worker.
5. My love for animals and the fact that they love me right back.
6. My empathy and compassion for others.
7. I have learned to think for myself and I do not allow others to influence me.
8. The fact that people know that they can count on me.
9. My hair (esp. with the current blue in it!)
10. I am extremely adventurous.
11. My handwriting.
12. That I can keep myself company and have learned how to be my own friend.
13. I love to learn, and I don't need to be in school to keep doing it.
14. The little things really do make me happy.
15. I know my ancestry.
16. I was able to travel around in Europe not because I was lucky, but because I really worked hard for it.
17. My artistic abilities.
18. My skin.
19. My eyes, and eyelashes.
20. The fact that people come to me for advice, esp. about makeup or style.
What do you love about yourself??
