(no subject)
I'm mainly going to use this to try and keep an account as to what's going on in my day-to-day life, as recommended to me by some friends. I have two cats and my boyfriend. We all live together in New Orleans and have a great time. I am a freelance graphic designer/artist (yes, there is a distinction!) I like looking at and following fashion a bit, but I am by no means an expert on it. I am a sucker for trashy reality TV shows and those tabloid magazines we all read in the check-out line. I love spending time with my family, we're very close and I'm very thankful for that. I am pretty liberal, although my family and place of birth is pretty staunchly conservative. I identify as a feminist, so from time to time I guess I'll post rants about bigotry I encounter in my everyday life.
As a freelance artist, I am not always working. My boyfriend works full time and I am a part-time retail sales-associate to help us afford luxuries and little things. We live in a small apartment in New Orleans, but it's enough for us. :] If you'd like to commission something, I'd be more than happy to send you samples of my work. A lot of the commissioned work I do online tends to be OC's for RPs. I am also an amatuerish photograph. I have been trained in photography but by no means is it my career or something I really focus on. I have access to professional equipment (strobes, hot lights, umbrellas etc) so if you're in the area and would like some portraits done on the cheap, I'd be more than happy to discuss with you. :]
I will also use this journal to chronicle my weight loss. I hope to lose enough weight so that I am finally happy with myself and so that my belly is gone. I've had it all of my life and it bothers me. Hopefully I can really stick to it this time and do it by a healthy way.
I think that's it for now, in terms of an extended biography.
Today I don't have much planned. I'll probably create an advertisement for a friend's bridal show and plan dinner. I'm going to try and swim today it's just a matter of gathering the strength to get out of my bed, grab my suit and drive out to the pool. Bah! It looks like rain so I may just try and walk/jog four miles after work. Either way, today will be uneventful, but I'm looking forward to fun times to write down in this journal.
