oh! just in case you haven't noticed, there's a new set of me up in member review - if you want to look at it i would really like that, because i think lavonne did a really beautiful job with it. here are some of my favourite photos:

i love the community here at suicidegirls - you guys are always, with so few exceptions, supportive, wise, inspiring, and wonderful. my last blog was about how discouraged i am with my career situation, and i'll be damned if it hasn't turned around entirely. thank you all SO MUCH for your support and encouragement. i have been working nonstop on the food blog and i have another big project in the works, too.

in other delightful news, i moved into my cute new apartment! it's not totally finished - we still have some unpacked boxes and we don't have a couch yet (i'm holding out for the perfect loveseat) - but here's a photo that my bff lindsay took of it last week:



this past weekend i went to the farmer's market for the first time this summer. i swear i'm turning into a little nesting sparrow. i loved it so much. and speaking of birds, i have a cherry tree in my backyard that was swollen with ripe cherries - until i turned my back for no more than an hour and the whiskeyjacks and sparrows picked it clean! those little bastards! i guess they deserve it.

does anyone know of any good (and simple) patterns to make your own birdhouse? i'm going to paint it like something out of wonderland. okay, am i getting too cute? please don't vomit, you'll make a mess.



GUESS WHAT ELSE (looking@you, corsair) - i went in for a consultation with a clinic in town and i am eligible for PRK laser eye surgery. i've been waiting for this all my life. i've got these great big eyes but they can't see a damn thing, including the soap in the shower today (oops) - and finally i can get them fixed. (as some of you may recall, i went for a LASIK consultation three years ago and was told i was not a good candidate for that surgery - too blind.)

anyway. my appointment's for august 19th, which makes august 11th - the day before my 25th birthday - my last day wearing contact lenses. EVER IN MY LIFE. i was so wary about getting excited for this but it's really happening. i'm delirious. i mean delighted.



AND IT'S SUMMER. finally it's not cold anymore. (WTF was up with that, west coast?)



in conclusion, i would like to thank the ever-rad s_eldorado for letting me live in his rec room for like two weeks, and the cherry for making time to watch true blood season 2 with us, and the lavonne for photographing my tits and hers touching. tit touch.
