[music: Rooney <3] 
My fourth of July is going to be jam-packed with Car searching, hot weather, Transformers, Shiah Lebouf <3 (sp?), and fireworks at the Base lake with Justin and my family. I hope I get my car tomorrow, I'm so tired of waiting. x.x But it's safe to say the summer of 2007 is a good one. Maybe not as good as a few others, but pretty far up there on the list. 
I mean, look above...I met one of my many inspirees (is that even a word? It means someone who's inspired me). I've been listening to Rooney since 8th grade....They're quite important, and so are the Schwartzman brothers. Though I didnt' get to hang out with them like my new found friend, Angela, did...Robert and the rest of the band loved my art...that's all I needed. 
yep.
My best friend is moving though, in a week from today most likely. I'm a bit pissed about that. I grew up with him here....I drank my first beer at his house. I've slept over, been there really late at night. Been around when him and his friends were getting high, and never once did he or them pressure me into anything. I love that boy, and he's leaving. Randy Howell is leaving.
also, this summer I got to speak to an administrator at the art school I'm transfering to in the fall of 2008. My work has been pre-approved and for the first time in my life, I honestly know exactly what I'm going to do with my life. When I watch movies and see all the work that goes into them, when I read the credits and imagine my name up there some day, I just know....I know I'll be up there, I'll be part of a giant collaboration with some of the most creative minds, and sharing my work with the world. I want to be part of something big, something real....God, it's so close I can almost touch it. It's such a rush to know I'll be there someday. All you really have to do, to get to where you want to be, is tell yourself you'll get there....everyday, remind yourself, and the world will suprise you. Anything is possible. I drew a naked man yesterday. He looked just like Magneto. I almost drew a helmet and cape on him.....I probably would have gotten in trouble for that from my teacher. Apparently I'm quite intimidating to my class mates. My animation/modeling classmates are a bit terrified of my drawing abilities.....oh, there's such a fine line between 3D/2D art. I met a lady at Menards today who wasn't too happy to hear I was going to art school...apparently her dreams didn't come true. I felt kind of bad for her. But you know, I think she gave up...you NEVER GIVE UP! NEVER! I've worked my ass off to get to where I am now.... Anyway, I made a lot of new friends this summer, and re-united with the old. I think there's something happening wiht Justin and I....I'm not sure yet because I'm still nto at that point where I want to commit to another person yet. I still feel like it'll be a while before I jump back into a relationship. Bleh. That's the least of my worries. I'm happy with where things are right now. I've swept Ben out of my life....literally. I spent an entire evening at Menards, when I discovered the truth behind the drama, and swept the entire garden center clean. I was so upset, I didnt' think, I didn't feel....I swept, and almost gave myself blisters. : / Drama. Ther'es some new eye candy in the plumbing department though...that makes things normal again (for me at least). I've been watching a lot of movies, losing some weight because of all the heat and how much time I spend in it. I'm doing well in school, spending time in my car with my music. The Garden Center is quite addicted to the Elton John tracks I put on the mix-cds I bring in when I work. Things are great....they really are. And hopefully, this car business will be through with in the morning. |
