YAY!

I got a second interview for Miller's! ... Not the beer but Miller's Professional Imaging or some may know its sisiter MPix! Its a seasonal position, I won't be guaranteed a position after December 23th-ish. though but if I am ... we will say worthy I can be put on a "call back list"? If I get the job I will be making Gallery Wraps. My hope is to work my way to something creative. YAY! I'm so excited I really need a change. I'm hoping this is a step on my creative path of a life I've been looking for!

Here's one of the gifts from Dad I've wanted on of them since I came to Pitt!

Today well now yesterday was the day! I walk across a stage got an empty case, rang a bell and am now a college grad! A new chapter has began. Ed and Mary, Chrisy and Greg, Grandpa and Grandma Tommer, Mom and Tim, Dad and Dustin were in attendance. We had a great lunch and got cards (and more) from the relatives. It was a great day!

The End or Beginning?

I'm graduating... And haven't a clue what to do next? It is happening so fast. I feel a giant weight on my chest. The world is mine and I don't know what to do?

Entertain me!

As my neighbors all future members of Laugna beach Kansas edition, party on it makes me think what now?

Not only in the since of graduating and entering the real world but entertainment wise? Times are changing! I'm torn on what to do for fun, I've always been a people person and am having trouble quenching that thirst as of late.

In high school I would go out with the 6. Usually dinner and a movie. I would wondered Mass Street and hit the Hookah House.
I also was extremely involoved in Venture Scouts. Here is I am at Camp Quivira for Anchors Away. I also love this because of the places I visited and the people I met!
Then freshmen year of college I drank with my room mate. After realizing I wasn't really meant to hung out with local good ol' boys at house parties and Bootleggers in Frontenac. I also run around with Jason in the middle of the night. The best part of living in the dorms was there is always something going on 24/7 and it was much easier to find a fellow nite owl (like Jason). Here is a picture from a late nite photo shot.
Then I started partying with art peps and was very happy with this. I finally found peps I could relate to! Then many of beloved friends moved to Lawrence or graduated and went on to do bigger and better things!
Sophomore year I moved into my car and then a beloved teacher gave me shelter in a building she was remodeling. It was dubbed THE BAT CAVE. Mainly because it was really cold and had no windows. I was happy to have it. Though later I moved into the office of a store due to really cold temperatures. Due to this I really didn't go out much because I was depressed and if I drank I would rant about what a burden I thought I was to my friends.
Then Jr. year I started hanging with Juan and Whit. Which I still do but I they don't really like venturing out (mainly due to $ and comfort levels). Then Senior year we got nite passes and spent many long nites in Porter Hall but this didn't really quench my social thirst.
Becky and I ran around mostly Jr. year. For the most part we drank a lot of champagne and made paper hats out of beer labels... Ahh good times. Though now she is connected at the hip to her boyfriend. Even if it takes her away from our time together if shes happy then that's more important then my entertainment... I guess (lol). Then one fateful Halloween (well half fate half Allison telling him if a cute girl talks to you, you should talk back!) I met my beloved Dustin! We used to go out more but our funds are low and he is shy so socializing isn't his forte.
So here I am setting in front of my computer... Alone... Its got me thinking, is this my own fault? I mean in Lawrence my social life was booming and many of my friends would love it if I moved back. Though I feel like I have to keep moving forward in life. I did the Lawrence thing and the Pitt thing. If I got my way I would be in Baltimore MD by July! Maybe it has to do with my current job as well. When I worked at the movie theater I met a lot more people (co worker wise) to run around with. Though looking back even if I still worked at the theater it would defiantly be ... Trouble.
I don't know what to do anymore!
Well until next time.
CHEERS!

Natural Color Theroy

Here is a bush I saw out side the art department.


It really love how the green makes the red pop out. Then there are purple berries to cool things down.

Rhona Shand in front of an inflatable DEER!

I'm have been very lucky to have Rhona Shand as a teacher for the past four years. Yesterday she decided to have class outside. Which was amazing it was warm and sunny. During this class we decided to talk about the G word! GRADUATION! This has been the source of almost all my stress! The world is a terrifying place right now! The world is open to me and feel like Pittsburg is trying to suck me in! I have enjoyed Pittsburg but I feel like I have spent what time I need to spend here. It is time to move on.
The answer I feel right now is Baltimore! It seems to be a beautiful city, rich with history. Also it is easy to go to N.Y.C. and D.C.
Rhona has really helped me understand that the world is mine and I can do what I please!

Natahsa

Here she is trying to pack herself when I was heading back to P.S.U. Sophomore year.

My beloved dog has been away from me for 4 long years, due to college. Freshman year it was required to live in the dorms. Sophomore, year I lived in my car and could barely take care of myself! Junior and senior year I moved in a apartment that didn't allow pets!

The requirement of the next is that they allow PETS or I'm not moving in!
She was born 3/21/00 so she is getting older and I'm afraid she won't be able to wait for me forever. I saw her over spring break and it was so hard to leave again! College... Dogs natural enemy!


Sugar and Spice

Natasha isn't only the only pet of mine that has suffered. I have Sugar and Spice my cats. They are still at my mothers. They have lived there for 99% of their lives, so displacing them would be cruel. Though my mother's "charming " boyfriend has convinced her to make them outside cats instead of indoor/outdoor cat like they have always been! GRRR!
Here is Lady on our drive way.

Then my mothers lowest blow was giving away my greyhound Lady! I went to college, come back a month later to learn that she put an add in the paper "free to good home" the day I moved out. When I learned about this she was on a ladder and evil thoughts rushed through my mind as LAUGHED at me! I think this one really hurt because 1. I was betrayed 2. When my parent got divorced (I was 11) they gave Lady away. She ran way from her new owners and came home. We looked in the back yard one day and saw Lady sleeping in her pin. So we decided she was ment to be with us! Where ever you are Lady I hope you are happy and well.

I realize this makes my mother sound... Terrible. I do still love her but consider no ones parents are perfect.
