PICS
It's a small studio, yes, but it's a great deal for the location and amenities. It's right we're I wanted in historic downtown Salem and it's got room for a small patio garden, which I've never had before. It's funny, though; every place in Salem I've lived in has had a (non-working) fireplace and this one is by far the nicest.
I'm excited, but also a bit nervous. This will be my first time completely on my own and true to form, in starting off with the barest bones. I've got my mattress, my clothes, books, art, and a soup pot and two drinking glasses
.I'll figure it out, though. It already feels like I've lived here a long time and there's a great energy about this place. I can tell that I'll be happy here and very productive. It's all so exciting
Hope you guys are well! Until next time...

Thank you for the warm welcome (back)! It's great hearing from old friends and new on here, made me wish I had come back sooner
Here's what I'm currently listening to (Bonus! This video is super rad):
Haven't really been up to much since my last post, and I'm outrageously tired today, but I wanted to give you guys a quick update nonetheless. You know what that means? PICTURES!!
About a month or so ago, I got together with former SG Palo at a hotel near Fenway Park to do a little photoshoot. Nothing fancy, just natural light, messy hair, minimal make-up, and... minimal clothing
Most of the shooting was in an open window facing the street, so a big "You're Welcome, Fenway" for getting to see my ass.
It was so great to not only get back into modeling a bit, but also to catch up with an old friend. That girl is so outstandingly smart, talented, beautiful, and fun to be around; it's a shame we don't hang out more. I should try and rectify that.
Anyway, on to the pics!
Can't wait to start doing more photoshoots!
As for my artwork, I've mostly been sketching, or working with charcoal or watercolors (both of which I suck at):
I haven't really had the time, nor motivation, to work on anything with oil paints (my favorite medium), but hopefully that'll change this weekend.
As for writing, I think you'll be seeing more of that stuff from me in the coming months as well. Stars have aligned in such a way that I'm able to devote more time to my metal related word-jotting, and earn some $$ while doing so. I'm also in the process of completely reworking my blog, Small, Drunk, and Bitchy (which I've been ignoring for over a year), so that I'll be more apt to update and (hopefully) expand my audience. Things are looking up in that realm!
Anyway, this post turned out far longer than I had initially intended, and now my eyes are heavier than they were at the onset, so until next time...
The time has come for me to move on and leave the site. I feel like I've "grown out of it", so to say. It's just not a part of who I am anymore... which is maybe why I don't care much to change my profile picture from one I've had for two years, even if it looks little like me now
I want to thank all of you on here for the years I've spent, the support, the sappy, crappy, stuff I won't get into. I can't imagine not having a few of you in my life, and you know who you are. Though loner I may be, and little as I may say, I love you all and you mean the world to me. We will keep in touch, rest assured.
This site has seen me change so much. I hardly identify with the person I was when I first joined, what, five years ago? I've had countless opportunities to do new, exciting things many of which I, unfortunately, did not take advantage of. But those that I did, and the fact that those choices were given to me I feel is remarkable. I will always remember the people I've met, the places I've been, the things I've done, and what I've been a part of as a whole. I will never forget my time on this site.
I do have a (fairly new) outside blog, Anonymous Monster, and as anyone these days, a Twitter, so feel free to keep track there. I'm not much for myspace anymore, but I still check it.
Take care
and I suppose that is a bit unnecessary, yet I do it anyway, just to keep things remotely present. I've got two segments for this post. Honestly, the part I'm putting behind a spoiler was the whole of the initial post, but I'e had a good day, so I'll add something a bit more upbeat, for contrast
Moody...
Afterward...
As I'd mentioned, my last Independence Day was a wild one, but aside from that, I've never had a great one in my adult life. What did I do this time around? Sat around with my good friend eating calzone, watching Lord of the Rings... oh, wait, yeah... and nursing a hangover. Ooops! Clearly, hangovers are imminent. Oh well.
Here I am, sitting in my sweltering room on my bed, listening to the celebrations continue outside, fireworks still going off all around. Even the crickets getting into it more so than I've heard in recent memory. Still, I did manage to break my hermit streak and go out for a short walk with my guy. I need more days like today, I think. Crepes, beer, and ice cream, watching puppies play in the park, driving around for hours talking about this, that, and the other thing. I'm still quite fond of taking pictures of food...
Some things never change.
I've decided for sure that I'm going to make an appointment to start a sleeve this week. Well, at least continue. It's an addition/expansion on the heart/tree that I already have. It looks so lonely sitting all by itself. Not much more color will be added, it'll be mostly black and grey work, but that's all I'm letting up to you. You'll have to check back to see what I've done to my arm.
So, I'm going to bed a bit less heavy hearted. I think that's just my nature, though. I've come to just embrace my negative, general melancholy disposition. How dreary of me, eh? Oh well. Better to embrace than to deny, I guess. There's a sort of happiness in that.
The day after this past Halloween, I spent a weekend working with Sureality on a short film. I'd never done something like this before, just modeling, but I really enjoyed the whole experience and of course working with a great bunch of people!
Want to see the fruits of our labor?
Hope you like it!
I don't want to talk about my love life.
I don't want to talk about my favorite bands.
I just want to post this picture.
