HOLY FUCKING CRAP!!!


I HAVE FREE INTERNET!!!

Spontaneous Knotting of an Agitated String



Hey guys. I haven't been around much. I'm flaky. Duh.

My life is currently all about nekkid dancing, saving money, NPR, meeting cool new people, heart-wrenching crushes, my lover lady, missing pot, freezing feet, and trying not to die. How is that for an update?

Nekkid dancing: Industrial Strip in Hammond, IN

Saving money: The goal is to have a store front next year. Rad.

NPR: Fo' serious.

Meeting cool new people: Why not?

Heart-wrenching crushes: I still ave a crush on the same bike messenger from last year. Oy.

My lover lady: I'm so fucking happy!

Missing pot: I don't have a regular supplier, and it is totally fucking up my rotation.

Freezing feet: I love my converse and will wear them no matter what the weather.

Trying not to die: For obvious reasons, I'd like to avoid death at all costs.


I recently got the anniversary edition of Tomb Raider. ::swoon::


I'm on my way to hang out and be extremely geigh. See ya, betches!






By the way, this is the BFF, Aralia. Cool lady. Cooler geigh boy. ::snicker::

Another BTW, my anniversary of my birth is on the 1st of Feb. There will be a throw down at LBC. Bring your inhalers. More info to come!

Happy New Year!!!


My new set is up, and I LOVE IT! It was shot in my old apartment by everybody's favorite rock star, Steve. It was a good time.

I promise to log in more often, SG.

For now, thanks for all the love!

Yay for 2008!

Real life got super heavy, so I had to take a break from the internet life. I'm back though, so buck up, trooper!

I no longer have pink and purple hair. I was a bit sick of looking like a teenager. At present, I look like this:



Note the sassy face and Superman pajama bottoms.

This is the current annoyance of my life:



Fuck you, City of Chicago.

I've been spending all my free time playing Oblivion on the 360. I'm a Dark Elf named Anyanka (mad love to my Buffy nerds!!!). I just got the expansion packs, and I fucking love Shivering Isles. The only thing that sucks is that I'm trapped in a glitch in the Thieves Guild. The Gray Fox won't take the Boots of Spring-whatever-the-fuck-his-name-is Jack from me, so I can't continue with the quests. Boo to that.

What, you didn't know I was a complete nerd?

I'm going to be chillin at LBC on Thursday. I'm getting dressed up, fucked up, and hopefully felt up. You're invited, of course.

I would say that it is time for an update, but I haven't got much in the way of news. Except that I'm thinking of moving to Portland, student loans suck, and I eat too much cheese. All caught up!


Over the weekend, I visited my lady's family in Ohio. Their property is a veritable petting zoo: two horses, five tropical birds, a cat, a bunny rabbit, and a snake that lives in a closet. Craziness. Here is a picture of me trying my luck with Gus. He is a giant asshole assuming the shape of a lovable bird.




I dressed up for the Ren Faire, but couldn't handle wearing a dress for more than 30 seconds, so I took it off after this picture was taken.



This brings the LOL:



I had such a nice trip... I didn't even want to come home. I wanted to lay in the grass and watch the stars for the rest of my life... unfortch, that is an impossibility. ::grumble grumble grumble::

Road trips are great. So are iPhones. Looky here:






Home might not always be here...




But it will always be here.




C'est la vie.

Aw, snaps! Daven finally got a webcam!



And new hair!





Expect a whole bunch of useless pictures from me.

I am the proud renter of a new studio space!!! I'm so excited about it. I move in when I get back to Chicago. It is super awesome. It has enough separate space to have small solo shows. Ceramics might just become my main source of income again very soon. ::crosses fingers::

Although the set I shot with Steve Prue earlier this year has yet to go live, I'm planning the next one. I'm so excited about it. I'm not really that happy with my first set... I'm not a very good model, and it totally shows in pretty much every picture. If it wasn't for Steve's good eye and helpful advice, the set would have been crap. I learned a ton from that set. The second one is WAY better... I promise. I'm actually kind of proud of it. The set that is in the works, though, will be absolutely wicked. WICKED, I say.

I just drank my first cup of coffee in about 4 days. Bad idea. I don't think I'll ever sleep. Instead, I'll take pictures of myself and admire my ability to look unintentionally silly on such a consistent basis.

Hug/Tackle,

Daven

Road Trip!!!



I'm currently in STL to dance. (Larry Flint's Hustler Club in WashingtonPark, IL)

I just love taking road trips by myself. I can listen to my music however loudly and as many times on a loop as I please. I have very questionable taste in music... I rocked out to the Maxwell Street Klesmer Band, Youth Dekay, a house mix by DJ Zebo, Metric, Hanson, Operator Please, Frank Sinatra and the soundtrack to Everything is Illuminated. When I'm by myself, I scream the lyrics to the song Start Wearing Purple.

The drive down here was absolutely lovely. At one point, the sun was setting on my right and the moon was on my left. At that moment, everything seemed to be in perfect perspective.

One thing that I never enjoy is rest areas. They creep me out. I always imagine some dude with a chainsaw running up behind me and chainsawing my guts out. I'm just a tad bit paranoid.

So... I stopped at a rest area for a bottle of water, and on the vending machine someone wrote "Keep your friends close and your enemies closer". What a curious thing to write on a vending machine.

I never understood that bit of supposed wisdom. I mean, srsly. Unless you are a super hero/villian... unless you are living an epic tale of fucking woe, you should not have enemies.

To that vending machine guru of infinate wisdom: Calm down. You are taking life way too seriously.

I really enjoy my company. I'm spending my time not working juxtaposed between quiet mediation and dancing to too-loud music. I'm thinking of this time as a serious detox for my soul. I have been building up a ton of negativity... I have forgotten how to trust my own council. Sometimes you can't rely on others to be there for you. Sometimes you are the only person who can help you.

I missed my friend Linda's birthday. Boo to that. Maybe it is a good thing, though. Last year was horrid. I rode to the bar with some friends who decided to have sex moments before getting into the car. Consequently, the car smelled like lesbian sex. I was not happy. At the party, I was hugged/tackled by two drunken assholes (the birthday girl and my bff) and suffered two bruised ribs. Moments before the rib bruising:



At least the birthday girl was happy!

I was just looking at some pictures, and this one seriously brings the LOL. I have titled it BRAINDEAD.



I heart my holga. I have better pictures, but alas, no scanner in my hotel.



Hug/Tackle,

Daven

...and then it happened.

Looks as though I'll be here a little longer!

I'm going to be traveling to St. Louis and Miami soon...

This life is full of suprises.

I'll be away for about three months... I'll post as many pictures as I can!

See ya!

This is from a photoshoot for a friend's clothing line.
That dress is pimp.
You should buy one.

Awesomeness.

Last night my girlfriend, (BaneDoe), provided me with yet another reason to love her. We were snuggling on the couch when a mouse scurried by. She spent about ten minutes trying to gently catch the poor panic-stricken thing in a shoe box, and was almost successful. She is going to look for some humane traps. She doesn't want to kill it.

In other news, I have a crush on a girl who makes me want to faint.

Monogomy = Not For Me.

C'est la vie!
