A normal post! :)
Hi all!
I am so sorry I haven't posted in forever. Well, with the exception of the "pity me" post the other day. Sorry. I just needed to vent.
Anyhoo...
Life has been up and down lately, as always.
I just haven't been into journaling much lately. I think everything's really changed for me in that respect since my Grandpa died in December. I am trying to get back into it, but there's so much back story (sin it'd been like 3 months since I last posted) that I tend to feel overwhelmed. Like I need to post everything here, when in reality I don't have to post anything I don't want. SO rather than go on and on about the mundane stuff I'll just move ahead. :)
I've recently taken up a couple of new hobbies. I've started making jewelry. Right now it's nothing special (well, my niece digs it! ha ha ha), but all I'm making at this point is stuff I want anyway. Mostly just bead sets (necklaces, and bracelets). However, my bestest bud, slinkii/Lisa is the one who got me interested in it, and she just sent me a big ole box full of goodies. Along with beading stuff there was wire, and tools, and a lot of fun things to work with. I haven't really had a chance to work with it much yet, but I'm planning on it either tomorrow or Wednesday.
I've also taken to photography. I'm sooo not a Photographer, but I love trying! My family is already sick of my camera, and I've only had it for about a month! ha ha ha
I've also created, what I hope to be, my final personal site. Aside from my journal, and myspace accounts, this new site is going to be the mainstay for all of my creative posting. It's a gallery site I set up. You can check it out here:
Anicee's Galleries!
I have digital art, photos, web design, my mp3, and more there.
I've been trying to create my portfolio for so long that it's not even funny. I spend countless hours designing it, and by the time I'm done I HATE it, so none of the designs have ever seen the light of day. I decided that a portfolio just wasn't meant to be for me. So a cumfy little gallery site is just peachie!
Aside from that I've been enjoying going to shows again, and it's become a bit more regular for me.
I went to see Kandles At Nine on May 13th. Then I saw Boom Bust on May 27th. I was planning on seeing Kandles At Nine again on June 2nd, but there was some drama regarding the line-up, and they didn't end up playing. I went to see the GnR tribute band, Appetite For Deception on June 9th as well. They were a lot of fun. I'm gonna go see them again on July 8th. After that my buddy nw_photochick/Marie is taking me (as an early Birthday present) to see Information Society on July 29th! I know ya may think it's silly, but I am sooo stoked! She and I went and saw them back in the early 90's together, and just had a blast (and a pretty embarassing moment too), so it'll be fun to go down that road together again. To close out the Summer, on August 25th (my 32nd Birthday) Kandles At Nine is playing at the RnR Pizza!!! I'm so excited! ha ha ha
Ok, well I'm babbling at the moment. I'm gonna stop now.
I hope you're all doing well.
Ciao 4 now...
