Goodbye lovers, goodbye friends...

I am taking a break.

I won't be writing my life on this thing for the time being....i need to refocus and get some perspective. I feel like zoning, like listening to my breath to make sure I am still alive and why...Turning my lights off, putting my records on, lighting a candle and just being still. It's time to keep it simple...figure out Steph, and this blog is not apart of it. Enjoy my past jibberish...i am hoping for something new. One day, I will return...may be soon, may be later. Maybe never.

goodnight.

If you were a kiss...


...I know I'd be a hug.

I am sitting here eating fruit salad while listening to the Juno soundtrack. My mom makes this dessert with a special recipe and it's always a big joke with me and her, and the subject of food. If my mom changes anything...anything at all in a recipe I can tell even before I eat it or within the first bite. Tonight she made it with cherry jello instead of strawberry and it tastes more like children's Tylenol than a dessert, she just laughed and asks how I do it. To which I responded "my senses are magical, do not question them". I put the fruit salad aside to write my "pen pal" from Portland, OR a card. It's funny when you connect with someone you've never met before, it seems to happen often to me...there are a lot of kindred spirits in the world and they just seem to find me somehow. I have met some of my best friends and became good friends with them prior to seeing them face to face. Today I received a package with a book and a CD in it, it's very exciting to get mail! So I just got done sending off a mix and a few little things. It's exciting to know people out of your state, I recommend doing this.

On that note....Ash came to visit this weekend (also someone I became great friends with prior to meeting her). She came to work with me, met the guys and even taught me a few things in Photoshop which is funny since that's what i went to school for...and she works on computers, you can always learn something new from someone. It was a great weekend with friends...we threw a small surprise party for her bday, it's always good to have a piece of TX in CA. I am still fighting a stupid cough, I think it just stays for 2 months. lame. The next couple of weeks will be super crazy at work...i didn't leave the office til 8:30pm, it's like I can't get enough of it. here's a sneak peak of the comps that I am working on for the Summer 08 microsite. It'll be live on www.Hurley.com March 1st. Today I got to eat lunch with my favourite australian (no, not Missy Higgins)...i love my friends.

I wish I was there...

Why I love Vince Gill....

This was a VERY short clip of Kanye's "I'm so awesome" speech at the Grammy's.


and this is Vince Gill (an old country singer) completely surprising the audience after receiving an award from Ringo Starr...

Tastes like candy...

I have decided to also post embarrassing video footage of my sister and i from back in the day. Mostly to entertain myself when i look back on my blogs a year from now. i sorted through all of my videos tonight and some are blog worthy. Typical summer for us....melons, janis joplin, tanning, quick bites and strange voices. Krys if you are reading this, I MISS YOU!!!

a "super taste" kinda day...


sometimes we play jokes on interns. We love them! #1 on buddy list always says "is cool"...after his name. So we decided to think of synonyms for our messages. I love it when we all participate in humor on our office iChat. Good times.

Tom just set up a record player upstairs in the loft above me...it makes the music 10 times better.

Alyson Hannigan...

since my teenage years and just recently (1 week ago) i have had 5 people tell me that i remind them of that girl from Buffy...or that girl from american pie. Not that you look like her, it's just your voice, expressions and mannerisms. I have never watched Buffy the Vampire Slayer or American Pie...so i decided that it is finally time to give in and look her up, I guess it was when one of the guys from England mentioned it. funny. i don't see it, maybe the bottom right...yeah. that's my derrrrrr look

One of those days...

yes, it was today. Tuesday the 5th of February. The year...2008. It was not only a day...it was "ONE" of those days. Where you're just so busy you feel like the day has just goes by in 26 seconds and you still have a bunch of stuff on your to-do list and more things keep being added to it. Usually I leave the candles on my desk burning for the morning time while I drink my coffee, but today I didn't blow them out till 6:15pm, there was no more wax left. The only thing that saved the day was one word...RAMEN. I got to enjoy it with friends and then went to vote, 2 minutes before the polls closed. then worked out. I am realizing that punching a bag after a long day at work while listening to Jay-Z really pays off. I am now gonna start working again....

:)
goodnight friends...one day at a time, even if today is one of those days.

Steph vs. Arachnids....

Let me set the stage...I get off the phone am tucked cozily in my warm bed. I fall asleep. I dream often. I open my eyes from a dream and in front of me is a HUGE green and black spider...i start experiencing shortness of breath (mind you it's pitch black in my room and seeing a spider in front of me would be impossible)...but it was there clear as the night air. I scamper to the edge of my bed... get to the edge and am still crawling..fast. i fall off, hit my head on my wooden easel, my paints and canvases go everywhere and the easel falls to the ground, and I am laying amongst them on the floor. I turn on the light and realize what just happened and that it was just a small hallucination.

All new unfinished paintings...

this is why i rarely stay home alone. had to do something while my paint was drying:


i need new paint brushes, i used really cheap ones and i despise them....but was too lazy to go to the store, so this is what the paintbrushes had to say. keep in mind the colors are bright when seen in person by the naked eye. i just wanted to say naked eye.

iPhone humor. PART: 1


why spend 60-100 bucks to buy a bluetooth ear piece when you can simply carry a beanie in your car...(look closer)

so i am painting today. i open a window, light candles, listen to a country mix and put my hair in a bandana....i don't come out of my room for hours. Now I will get back to painting and my black coffee. Good night friends.
