It Snowed A Bit Today!
So right now I am living in Ohio with Harold.
It's definitely a good break (We both deferred for the quarter)-
free rent....we worked for my mom at two festivals, worked for an outsourcing company for Abercrombie and Fitch and Holliser etc for a week (haven't been paid yet though and do not know what the pay will be like), I've been babysitting, and Harold bartends for my mom when there's big events going on at the Hey Hey. So we've been making a little bit of money here and there...
The Hey Hey, my parent's bar, just won Best Bartender in Columbus!!! From Columbus Alive (one of the alternative newspapers)! Pat, the bartender who won, won $1,000 and they are throwing a party at the Hey Hey on Thursday!
I miss lots of things about Olympia....the few good friends I had- especially Zane and Alice who Harold and I just recently really started hanging out with, my baby rats!!! I miss Joplin and Gracie sooooooo much!!! They are so cute and do not live very long and I cannot believe that I am missing out on such a huge chunk of their lives! I miss the Co-Op and I know Harold misses it more, I miss the rainforest, I miss the laid-back, alternative lifestyles of the West Coast...And I do wish I was getting credit for Evergreen just so I could be that much closer to graduation!
I have been contacted a lot for modeling (something I only recently picked up)(http://www.modelmayhem.com/pics.php?id=744407) here and am excited about that. I was supposed to work with this lady, Anne, today who's photography is absolutely amazing, but she has not called yet.... (http://www.modelmayhem.com/699082)
I also started taking stone-carving lessons at the Cultural Art Center...stone carving is a lot harder than I thought it was going to be! Walt is a good friend of mine and the families...he actually works at the Hey Hey and is our stone-carving instructor. His artwork is amazing (http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewPicture&friendID=419604155&albumId=671440)(I dont feel like those even do him justice) I definitely found more respect for the art.
I am excited that between modeling and stone carving, I am getting to exercise my creativity in new ways and it feels good that I am simply doing it for myself and not for credit or anything else...
I am working on my contract for next quarter- transcendentalism and poetry. I hope to the beard of Zeus that I find a sponsor! I E-mailed Kate Crowe today with a heads up, so hopefully she'll be into it...
I am excited to see the landscape of Colorado and meet my new nephew (they are thinking Dylan Patrick for the name...although I like Dylan a lot, I am still in favor for Vincent Van Gall!) and, of course, the Yaks!
Sage is still biting her hair off of her fur...I have been giving her cooked off rescue remedy in her water in hopes of it helping, but may need to look into finding a cat whisperer or some bitter stuff to spray on her tummy and legs....
I totally need to start doing Youtube blogs! I was going to do it for credit in Colorado, but since I did not get sponsored, it kind-of came to a halt- but I shall get some up sometime around. I have been working on editing photos and getting those up mostly...I take at least 100 a month and am still working on summer photographs! yikes!
Hope everyone is well and I send my best.
