Just finished scrubbing my apartment clean from the residual slime of my ex-roommate. I'm so glad he's gone! 
I also averted disaster today-- I convinced a professor to let me get credit by examination for a course that was cancelled for the summer. Otherwise I would have had to stay in school an extra year. (
) So, yes, I'm happy about that too.

I am reading a book that is changing my life (and my name, as you can see). It's all coming together now. This feeling is exquisite; I can't even explain it. My jaw drops, my eyes widen, my pulse quickens, my synapses fire when I think about it. Phenomenal...

That sounds fun-- and I did just order some black vinyl opera gloves. Got the corset, need the crinoline and bustle, got the shoes, need the hat and bodice. And a fan or parasol. Hmm... maybe set three? 
Had the apartment to myself (for once), so I decided to stay in and post my first set attempt. I love it even though it didn't get accepted. I am taking comments and suggestions before I do my next set in another month or so, so speak now or forever hold your peace!

i hope you don't mind that i showed him...matt said that the spindle had all sorts of softcore porn phallic potential

I think I have to agree with Idjiit about the lighting sometimes it is harsh but I though that as intended. Your dark hair and dark background against your fair skin is stark too so I thought it was intended. Now that he pointed it out I guess it may not have been on purpose or is something that can be improved upon.. But on the hopefulls list they say not to tweek that stuff in your pictures with photoshop becaue they do it here at the sight.
There is a lot of buildup in the set and while I tend to favor that most of the time again he is right about it not being the usual site thing with the official sets.
Still it is awesome.

First set rejected. Sigh... I'll try again.

That's a bummer about your photographer having an attitude about Digital. I can empathize a little, but I'm a total convert now that I've made the switch. If you really like working with her and want to try again - let me know, and we can arrange something with her using my equipment if she's up for it. I use a Canon Digital Rebel and three lens - a Sigma 20MM f/1.8, Canon 50MM f/1.4, Canon 85MM f/1.8, and a Lenbaby 50MM f/2.8 - bring her to my show next week and we'll chat!

i bought a canoscan fs4000 negative scanner instead ...alot cheaper than a 3000-5000 dollar digital camera set. Though i cant wait to buy somethin like the kodak dcs when the prices drop.
Down in Charlotte to visit the dad for Father's Day. Spent time with him, his special lady, and his friend whose pool house I used to live in, then went with my mom and her man to this strange restaurant that serves any kind of Asian food you could ever want, so long as it's Americanized, then went to see Saved (Fabulous movie! Very funny,...

Excellent! 
Went to the Shins show on Monday. Amazing!! Before it started, I made out with my long-time best friend (a first for us), which was great but not entirely good becuase she's in a (supposedly) monogamous relationship with the roommate I'm kicking out. Whoops! Today we shot 10 rolls of film in hopes of it becoming a set on SG. She's a fabulous photographer and...

Again I'm not sure of how it works as far as the hopefuls group. Ask there. Hmmmm.. what else? Oh, mention me on your app.
Had a lovely night with xVengerx last night. Driving home this morning was another story, however, as my entire street and the surrounding area was blocked off for a 5K walk and none of the officers telling me where I could't go could tell me where I could go. Parked far away, walked home, and relaxed a bit before getting ready for work. Work entailed...

Sounds interesting. I bet it is a great people watching type opportunity.

Just got a second nipple piercing (same nipple, double pierced) AND a vertical hood piercing. I am so elated! (Yeah endorphins!) Now I'm off to dinner with some friends, then First Friday. Thank you, piercing guy at Blue Flame-- you are my hero.

hey i didn't know that you were into chess, we should play sometime
vuokko:
Yeah, I'll be in Charlotte in a few weeks. Or if you ever make it up to Raleigh we can play then.
Broke up with one roommate, did some laundry, and then kicked out the other roommate. Somehow, I feel even more wiped out than I do at the end of a workday or long day of classes.

getting rid of bad roommates is so liberating, but I understand how you'd be exhausted.
Started a new job bartending for a catering company. Yesterday, I served "Mexican lemonade" to kids at a bar mitzvah (which I found amusing, but since it was disgusting, a little sad too). Afterward, I went to a Skill Share at a housing co-op and learned more about fertility and herbs and such in a women's circle. Fun times. Oh, and it turns out that...

MRIs suck!!! I fell asleep during my last one. But it is easy to get antsy in that closed space too. Hope you are feeling better soon.
I enjoyed your set muchly. It's well-staged and excellently lit. L. has a good eye and certainly seems to have the talent. 49 is my favorite as it looked like it came directly from an R Crumb drawing. 29 is good too.
Oh and you look pretty good too.
