Oh It's Such A Shame For Us To Part

As I took the little silver key off of my keyring and handed it to the woman behind the desk, I realized in that moment my life would be forever changed. I would never see Henry again. Since March 2005 we have spent time with each other almost every single day. I thought our love was everlasting, but apparently I was wrong. Everything was going so perfectly. We had plans for the future; we were going to take a road trip together. Who would have thought it would all come to a screeching halt, quite literally. So farewell Henry Fonda my red Honda. I will always remember the way I had to guess how fast I was going because your speedometer didn't work or how you just hated defrosting the windshield. Lets not forget the time we were driving to Salt Lake so I could go to work that one winter and you decided you just didn't need the right front tire, so it flew off and we almost died. That was so darsh of you. Despite our differences we made such a wonderful team. Every time I see a red civic I will think of you and our time together. 13 is such a young age to die, you will be missed my little 5 speed wonder.

They want your money honey, give them it all

I'm not going to lie, I've already lost interest in writing this blog. I will go on only because I am very bored and don't want to continue to disappoint those that are waiting for a new post from me. So the three of you, here you go. 

I love Conan O'Brien. I think we can all agree that between 11:30-12:30 P.M. there is no better thing to do than have a few laughs with Conan. That's a lie, but he has brought me many laughs this evening. On the other hand, why is Rachel Ray on t.v.? I'm pretty sure my life would be the same if not better if I didn't have her and her 30-minute meals in it. 

So come middle of February I am out of this state. Oddly it is somewhat bittersweet. I can't wait though. It's coming up on 9 years that I have been here and that's much longer than I would like. I have such a huge crush on Washington, we've been apart too long. Just seeing her in pictures or once or twice a year will never suffice. I need her near me. 

On February 5th I won't be 15 anymore. It will be a day to remember.

My desire to travel is definitely peaking right now. I am in need of a long flight with free toblerone bars. I still really want to go to India. I most likely will want to until I actually do. I would love to go visit Michelli in Brazil or wander my way through Europe. Good thing I'm really rich so it's most likely I will be doing all of these things. 

The Killers Day and Age - amazing album 

I'm going to go read myself to sleep goodnight.  

Draping assignment for class

Some guy that sat there for two hours so I could draw him

She's gonna be a soccer playing, she is she iiiiiis

Music is my boyfriend

drums Adam hot Lazzara (T.B.S.) I would love to do this one over again, I think I could do it so much better and maybe not at 2 in the morning.

Brandon Boyd (Incubus) I'm pretty sure this doesn't fully capture his intensely good looks.

Adam Lazzara again

Some girl that sat in front of me for two hours so I could draw her

I'm sorry it took me so long (to come around) I'm sorry it took me so long

Sorry everyone, yet again I have failed you in keeping up my blog. You've reminded me relentlessly to do so, so here I am in math class choosing to not pay attention to the lesson and instead update. If I fail the next test I will wholeheartedly blame you. In the interest of time and my math grade I will just make a quick list of things that I have been keeping myself busy with/struck my interest since the last post. I may later come back to add more, but lets be realistic I probably won't. Oh I will be posting more art on here soon but I don't have those pictures with me at the moment. On to the list....

- Taking Back Sunday "Where You Want to Be" album (I remember the day it came out 4 years ago. I bought it and listened to it for no joke the whole first half of my senior year everyday during art. It feels good to step back in time, musically at least)

- Chris McCandless

- somewhat of a Zebley family reunion with 5 of the 7 brothers

- working my 2 jobs

- schoolwork, tests

- my crushes on Mehmet and Deron growing immensely

- Brand New

- The Office

- wanting to go to Bombay House more than life (still haven't gone for quite a while, just saying)

- drawing

- being cold, but thankfully not as cold as other winters...yet

- wanting to go to another country more than anything else (preferably India, oh then I could get my Indian food too, and have the chance to use the most gay phrase ever "killing two birds with one stone" but I would not)

There's probably more I could write but I'm going to go ahead and work on my math now.

You treat 'em like an obligation, welcome to the occupation

This is a picture of my little brother Mitch when he was about 5 or so, I really don't remember. I was at my mom's house today and drew this between conference and dinner. It's not done yet but almost. He was probably the cutest kid ever, we're not sure what happened. Just kidding, I love you Mitch.
This one I drew last night at work. I was looking in a magazine (we aren't aloud to read books which severly pisses me off considering I couldn't care less what Britney Spears or anyone else is doing) and I saw this little boy in a Ralph Lauren ad. He is soooo cute I HAVE to have sons that look like this. He's like 4 and already rockin the sidebag, what a heartbreaker.
This is some building in Egypt. Obviously it is not even close to done, but maybe if I put it on here it will motivate me to actually finish it. We'll see.

Here I am again writing another blog only to satisfy the needs of my friends at work. It does nothing for me. After drawing a picture last night at work and being reminded yet again of my insufficient blog updating, I decided I should turn my blog into a place to post my artwork. I will also post it on my facebook but on here I can write a little about each one. That will be fun.

I really fast need to update on some recent occurrences. Jack's Mannequin's The Glass Passenger has fully lived up to it's expectation of taking over my life. I won't lie the first time I listened to it all the way through I was not hugely impressed. I, just as I felt with Everything In Transit, thought it was good and would like to listen to it again but wasn't necessarily blown out of the water. But just as any good relationship should, the feelings have grown with time (yes it's only been a week, but this is BYU town I don't feel out of place). Also the Tuesday before that Cold War Kids - Loyalty to Loyalty AND Kings of Leon - Only by the Night came out. I absolutely love both of those albums and am a little saddened that Jack's came out so quickly after these two. I really didn't have a good amount of time to fully love them and I'm clearly not taking Jack's out of the player soon. That's what running and my iPod Nathaniel on shuffle is for.

I'd teach a course on how I got to be a star crossed pimp

As I sat pondering in our thinking chair upon last nights events, I was drawn to the sound of footsteps as they seemed to gracefully pierce the sidewalk directly outside the window. My eyes were overwhelmed with what could be no better described as than the warmth of a summer days sunset. He's was about 5'9 or 5' 10 (perfect height) and had beautiful flowing hair. I couldn't look away. He must have felt my gaze as he turned and looked down through the window with those beautiful eyes the color of tree bark. The sun seemed to caress his well chiseled face. Within seconds I heard a knock at my door. It was him. I couldn't believe it. Who would have thought that today September 13th 2008 I would find the man of my dreams....


OK so there's not much truth to the previous, but that didn't stop Jared and I from having probably the best time ever coming up with it here on this lovely Saturday morning. Jared by the way is a really great guy: loves to play WII (comes over all the time to do so and is especially good at boxing, but I'm better) cook, clean, read, make jewelry, etch - a -sketch, has an adorable accent and did I mention is SINGLE. Just in case you were wondering. By the way he is the type of guy who actually asks girls out in person not over the phone or the douche way- through text. Therefore he is a real man.

Anyway it's seems lately people have been bringing up the subject of blogs around me quite a bit. Just last night at work after a wonderful discussion of Indian food and how I've been meaning to make it for myself lately, but the fact that all the ingredients costs close to $30 deters me every time (I'll save those cooking skills til later in life, back to cereal for now), Courtney reminded me that I haven't posted a blog in a long long time. So here I am posting one. It's all for you Courtney. Also I was reading some of my friend Joey's blogs from his recent travels (JEALOUS) and thought sure I will write one. Not that I really have much to write about or any sweet stories about surviving my way alone through a foreign land (you're a brave one Joey, you will have to teach me those skills), but that's OK I will write one anyway. Maybe I am just trying to forewarn the dullness of this blog. But don't stop I'm about the talk about Third Eye Blind. Intrigued?

So basically for the past 3 or 4 months I have been on a Third Eye Blind craze. Not quite sure how it all began but I'm not complaining it's been great. For you out there that hear the name Third Eye Blind and think - oh didn't they have a song in the 90's or something called something life? - It's Semi-Charmed Life and yes that's them and I will have you know they have two other albums besides that self titled one featuring that hit and they are currently recording a new album. Also the singer Stephan Jenkins probably couldn't be more attractive and he can do way better than Vanessa Carlton (me). If you are a true fan as I am you would know all about all three albums and how every song is beyond amazing. I can't describe my love for them. I bring this up because I feel that it might be time for me to change the cd in my car from the steady 3eb rotation it's been on (ok I did throw in some Muse and Mae at least once during this summer) and get something else playing. I feel good about it though because Cold War Kids has a new album out on the 23rd and my beloved Jack's Mannequin has their long awaited return on the 30th. Clearly these albums with be taking over my life. Good thing I don't have a boyfriend currently, he would undoubtedly get pushed aside. JK he would hopefully also be reveling in the joy of these albums.

Basically I don't have much else to write about, well I dont really feel like writing more actually. So I will be ending my writing and going back to eating my delicious Maverick frozen yogurt and watching Kelly and Jared WII box. I'm next and I will throw down. Good day.
