PICS
-William Wallace
I feel like this lately:
you know how stressful moving is? and planning a big trip? and quitting a job, with no prospects anytime soon? try planning for all of those at the same time.
walking across the country has been the most difficult thing ive ever had to plan, &will no doubt be the most difficult thing ive ever done. i leave in about a month, and my to-do list is still a mile long. (a mile? yeah. where does this come from? do people in every other country say their lists are "a kilometer long"? what is wrong with the united states?) i have the majority of my "main" supplies purchased (tent, sleeping bag, backpack, clothing), but im still lacking a lot of the smaller things (emergency radio, sunblock, water disinfectant, etc). im also planning a trip to costco with one of my besties this weekend, to stock up on as much bar-form food as possible. &i have one of those USB interweb connection stealers now, so that helps--best birthday present ever!
can i just tell you how fucking expensive it is to walk across the country? not that i wasnt prepared for that, but nobody believes me when i tell them ive spent over a grand on supplies so far. a grand! jesus!
im getting rid of a good amount of my belongings, to save space as well as to sock away a little more last minute cash. below is a list of cds id probably keep under different circumstances, but ones that didnt make the "please bury me with these" pile, &which im selling for pretty darn cheap.
(((see current blog for updated list!)))
&ALSO! in lieu of a new set, which i know would be great, but simply isnt feasible with the amount of free time im lacking, ill have new prints available for purchase in my cartfly store later this week. the prints that ARE available right now are on sale, too! (move quick, though, cos theyre numbered limited edition - once theyre gone, theyre gone!) unfortunately, i cant combine shipping if youre wanting to order both cds and prints, due to the way each is specially packaged. (&you dont want the cd cases scuffing up your prints, of course!)
okay, im done babbling.
summary:
if you want to help me by buying some cds, message or email me with "CDs" or "DVDs" in the subject line.
if you want to help me by buying prints, visit my cartfly store.
if you want to help me by purchasing stuff i need for my trip, visit my wishlist.
&if you want to help me in any other way, please spread the word by posting a link to this blog on your own blog, myspace, facebook, wherever! your support is so much of this!
here are some awesome pictures of my cat, spoilerized to protect you from my cat lady ways.
oh, &heres this:
xoxo!
aside from that, what is wrong with me?! halloween came &went (&was very uneventful), thanksgiving was here &then gone (had an amazing feast in great company), &here i am, just before christmas, finally updating!
(little lyxzen, christmas 1986 or 1987?)
in my defense, i dont have internet anymore, so im working with a not-so-reliable stolen wireless connection. just something else keeping me from doing what i need to get done, haha.
as usual, heres photo-documentation of the trouble ive been getting myself into the last couple months:
)
while i was stealing internet that was whizzing along at 18.0 mbps the other day, i thought i would update my wishlist. its getting closer &closer to my walk across the country this spring, &ive got way too many supplies i still need to get! silencia seemed a little surprised the other day when i told her that ive never had anyone get me something from my wishlist. my birthday is next month, you know! 
OH! did you guys see the video accompanying the epic fight club set? i cant watch it on this connection, but can you find me?
ill be around! <3
heres my best attempt at filling in the blanks the last couple of months:
spent a lot of time enjoying sweating:
went to warped tour and...
read some books on breaks &buses. evasion (anonymous), nina (blag dahlia), extremely loud &incredibly close (foer), free-range chickens (simon rich), &im still working on infinity blues (ryan adams) & the society of the spectacle (debord).
drove a few more miles on my scooter:
spent not nearly enough time with one of my favorite people, miss silencia, loungin, yakkin, &snappin photos:
fell asleep to some tv &tv-on-dvd, often with this little loudmouth:
currently waiting for season 5 of six feet under to come in at the library!
answered the door &talked to my landlord, forgetting i was wearing this shirt:
got my knuckles tattooed:
had a few other sessions here &there, but no body parts swelled up like my pinky there!
went to oakland to see the musical adaptation of green days american idiot (amazing), eat some amazing food, &visit some amazing friends!
found a new boyfriend in the singer boy from parachute:
(he doesnt know it yet)
ate some fried pies in good company:
but have mosly been eating all organic, vegan hippie food.
bought a ticket to see these fuckers:
who then cancelled the tour so kanye could "take a break." but ill see gaga on her solo tour...whenever they announce the dates!
cameraphone summary of all of the above:
you know how it is.
xo!
&ill post a REAL real blog when im back! promise!!
im a busy (&tired) bee! real update soonsoon!
<3
ps: if you get why the song on my myspace page is so perfect for me (3 reasons), ill love you forever!
would ya look at that...theres my boobs on the front page! whoohoo! pretty rad that the set went up on andy warhols birthday, huh? (i hope someone at HQ planned that, otherwise its a little too eerie!)
this set was an idea i had a-stewin in my brain for quite a while before AlissaBrunelli &i finally made some magic during the big vegas shoot-fest of 09. that woman is a genius, &i really can not wait to work with her again!
for those of you that didnt pick up on it, the idea of this set was to emulate mr. warhols infamous self-portraits, which feature different quotes of his. here are a couple of andys original images next to mine for comparison:
the rest of the set was meant to have a general 60s vibe, a bit reminiscent of edie sedgwick or twiggy, only, you know, naked.
your comments &feedback have been absolutely lovely...you guys are so sweet &clever! if you havent checked it out yet, get on it &let me know what you think!! WARHOL!!
attention anybody who took pictures with us at comiccon! (or those wanting to live vicariously through them, ha!) missy uploaded the photos that cherry shot HERE, &ive uploaded lots to my own myspace page HERE! a couple more highlights:
