zombies and cake...


is what my weekend consisted of.

friday night claire, linnea, and i went to zombie prom at msum. it was pretty cool. we all had higher expectations, but good company can make anything fun. here is my zombie face:

saturday claire and i shopped downtown fargo. we love shopping downtown. with so many awesome boutiques, who needs department stores? i had red velvet cake for breakfast and almost died of a self induced sugar coma.

this is a crappy phone picture of a fugi polaroid. forgive me for not having a scanner.

claire, brade, and i also went to alice in wonderland. it has been my favorite disney movie since i can remember, and i was not disappointed. johnny depp is the perfect mad hatter and the colors and costumes were amazing. i left feeling inspired. (which is why i drew a castle atop an ice cream cone today)

today (sunday) i spent with my boyfriend. doing laundry, eating malts, and watching movies and the oscars. overall, i had a wonderful weekend. AND only 4 days until spring break! i'm giddy with excitement.

i just have to blog about this


the coolest thing just happened to me.


i logged onto my facebook account and saw i had a new message! (this is cool, but it gets better) it was from hannah honeyman. wait...that's me! this hannah honeyman is 88 years old and from florida. she said she was amazed to find her name in google, not in florida but in north dakota. she said, and i quote, "and what fun to find such a cute, clever young woman with the same name."


So Amazing.


that totally just made my day. thank you hannah honeyman!

weekend to remember

for christmas my awesome friend, linnea, got me jacks mannequin tickets for this weekend. her mom drove all the way to moorhead (about 4 hours) to get us! we had so much fun. we shopped until we thought our feet had transformed into bloody stumps (i know how gross this sounds, but seriously-- it was bad) after shopping we went to the concert! we didn't really want to stand in line, because as linnea put it, "we look too cute to stand in line." so we didn't get to stand in the front row, but we still had a great spot. we witnessed a cat fight and our feet got even more sore, but we had an unbelievable time. i'm looking forward to doing it again!!













oh...and did i mention linnea's neighbor FLEW us back to moorhead? hmm..ya. it was awesome. the sky is so much more sunny above the clouds.
i had a great weekend, i hope you did too.

guilty pleasure

would you believe my guilty music pleasure is really provocative rap?

it is.
my ipod is full of indie, acoustic, alternative, and folk. but every once in a while a rap will slip in there. that's when i crank the volume and rock my socks off. i'm not a "rap" person. but here are a few that would make my all time playlist:

  • Shake that Ass for Me - Eminem ft. Nate Dogg
  • Sugar (On my Tongue) - Ludacris
  • Candy Shop - 50 Cent
  • Smoke Weed Everyday - Dr. Dre ft. Snoop Dog
  • My Band - D12

February 14-16

I've been busy!
For starters, my Valentine's Day was awesome! Brade and I went to Valentine's Day, the movie. (Not that great, but cute) after that I told Brade that I would be cooking supper for him! (This is a big surprise because in the 2 and a half years we've been dating I've never made him any type of food at all. I'm an awful cook.) I was really scared! I texted my mom about every 2 minutes. I made baked mashed potatoes, bbq chicken, corn, and chocolate covered strawberries. (I know that one chicken looks burnt to a crisp, but I assure you it wasn't.) I did a good job! After the meal Brade told me his surprise. A savager hunt! I went a little crazy, and I think he enjoyed watching me more than he enjoyed my excellent supper!
Ok on to the 15th- a day before my birthday.
I was just sitting in my dorm before my last class of the day when I got this picture from my sister:
"guess where mom is"
I turned to Claire and said, "My mom is outside our door?" I opened the door and there she was!!!! I was so excited!!! Then my mom said, "Look who else is here." Out walked my dad and sister!! That will probably be my best birthday memory ever.


So today I turned 19, and let me tell you I feel the same. Well...not exactly the same. I'm a whole lot more excited due to surprises and new toys!!!

Claire, being the wonderfully weird best friend she is, got me a typewriter! An actual typewriter. It's heavy and blue and I love it. Oh, she also got my a compass so I know where I am.




My wonderful boyfriend got all of my many hints and got me a Fugi Instax Mini!! It's so cute..so so cute. I can't wait to go polaroid crazy with it. Just gotta wait for some film!!!




And that my friends is all! It was a crazy couple of days but I loved every minute of it! I have an wonderful family and awesome friends!!

tutus



Oh well in five years time we could be walking round a zoo
With the sun shining down over me and you
And there'll be love in the bodies of the elephants too
And I'll put my hands over your eyes, but you'll peep through

noah and the whale-five years time

compliments are just lovely.
aren't they?

what is love?

i really like the first one...and the third one. ok i like them all.

love extravagantly.

Try it. Try it today and everyday for the rest of your life. I'm not talking about money and material things. Try giving extremely abundant amounts of love to everyone. Your friends, family, and even enemies. Give exorbitant amounts of love to God.

This is my goal.

Hey everyone! Sorry I've been slacking, but I've been busy!! My 3 day weekend seemed to go by so fast so I was very excited when I got the email saying class was canceled today. It's rather blustery outside. I have some big news to share.
You all know I'm rooming with Claire and yesterday we decided to do something really great. We made a roommate blog!! It's really coming along well and we have a lot of cool stuff planned to do on it. For starters we have the daily "Once Over" and "Mighty Monday." You all have to go there and check it out for yourself!!
Befriend us! We want friends!

I love Valentine's Day. It's my favorite holiday ever.

(i don't care if it's cliche. i love it.)
Start cutting out your paper hearts because cupid is coming to town!!

Perfection.


I love every single thing about this picture.
Every. Single. Thing.
Something I learned from my design textbook:
...It is the imagination that constructs the cosmos.

i have found what you are like


i have found what you are like by E. E. Cummings


i have found what you are like

the rain,


(Who feathers frightened fields

with the superior dust-of-sleep. wields


easily the pale club of the wind

and swirled justly souls of flower strike


the air in utterable coolness


deeds of green thrilling light

with thinned


newfragile yellows


lurch and.press


-in the woods

which

stutter

and


sing


And the coolness of your smile is

stirringofbirds between my arms;but

i should rather than anything

have(almost when hugeness will shut

quietly)almost,

your kiss.

raindrops on roses



i can almost smell these flowers.
ahhh...and they smell so good.

Hello World!

This week has been crazy. It's gone by SO SO fast! I still can't believe I'm living with my best friend. How cool is that?! I'm also loving my new class schedule. No class on Friday's! Can't get much better than that. Also, Brade and I made mashed potatoes last night. All by ourselves. We think we're pretty amazing. I get to go home today! WHOO! Sorry this post is so random, but I have to get to drawing now. Hope your week has been as fantastic as mine!

And I am happy. I am.


I like this quote.
I am going back to school tomorrow after a very nice, long break. I'm excited...I am. But I've gotten really used to being home. It's like I'm leaving all over again. And that makes me sad. I really like my family. This semester is sure to be fantastic though. And I am happy. I am.

square brochure


rectangle brochure

I only starting working on this yesterday, and I'm already done! Well pretty much done. I haven't quite proofread it yet so excuse the misspellings if you find any. I had a lot of fun doing this. I LOVE GRAPHIC DESIGN! I'm so happy that I will get to do things like this as a career. It's so fun!
Who would have thought I'd get so worked up over a tri-fold brochure?

If anyone out there would like a brochure or sell sheet made....or anything I guess :)
let me know!

All This Beauty









Everyday is ice cream and chocolate cake
And what you make of it
Let me just say
You get what you take
From it, so be amazed
Whenever you stop...
You gotta be brave
