Kiss me I'm contagious

I believe there is a term for the new disease I seem to have. I think they call it insomnia. Thats right. Nothing can get me to sleep. The alcohol in Nyquil, doesn't even phase me. The one thing that puts me into a sleepy mood is my ipod and a game of solitaire on it but even that is unappealing right now. Im too pre-occupied with everything around me. I want to try new things meet new people and there just aren't enough hours in the day to accomplish this. I want to create and explore but i don't have the funding. Projects put on hold until my bi-weekly money flows in. I try to get a job but no one seems to want to hire a college student eager to work with previous job experience. Anyways, I have much too creative of a mind to put a time constraint on, to force to sleep at a certain time. Its time to make hair clips and 2AM not sleep, its time to make a nice political poster at 4AM, not sleep. I just hate pushing those things back, id rather push sleep back, especially when I can, like on the weekends. The weekday is approaching, considering it is actually literally monday now, I have class at 10AM and then NAP TIME until my next class at 4 and let me tell you friend that is when I'll sleep. Now I'm off to visit Adalie as I never see her and she is working the butt-fuck of the AM shift and I am not ready to go to bed yet.

On a much more relevant to this post's images note, I'm planning my trip to SF/Berkley/Redwood City for the weekend of the 15th. I love San Francisco SO much! I'm excited to take the 35mm and shoot to my heart's content and see my gay boyfriend and Mary. I can't hardly wait.

I have more on my mind. Expect a few more posts this week. DAD.

"I know its sad but I never gave a damn about the weather"

"And if the birds are just hollow words flying along, singing a song,
What would they do?
If they just knew what they could do.
Oh, if they just knew."

I started this blog last week but never knew the words to express how i was feeling. I think the lyrics work perfectly fine alone. 

Also these are my pictures. There should be some film ones looking quite similar soon.

Just do[n't] it.

DO IT! 

(Pre)Weekend Update:

This is a truly brilliant advertisement.

I just wanted to update everyone since my hand-written blog: I saw a councilor today in my department and I am indeed on track. I need to declare my minor in art. That is all.

"So give up and let go of these feelings that I've had for you. Why couldn't YOU be the one?"

This election is really starting to heat up. There are a ton of important issues on the table. There is the issue of our failing economy. There is the issue of our foreign policy. There is the issue of Healthcare. Closer to home, specific to the state of California, is proposition 8. Proposition 8 is the "protection of marriage" proposition. The basic effect of prop 8 passing is that same-sex couples would not be granted the ability to marry, or be granted the rights and privileges associated with marriage. In my opinion, that is pure discrimination. Many in favor of the proposition state that marriage is a sacred bond between and man and woman under god. I agree that marriage is a sacred bond, I just don't believe it should be limited to man and woman. I think marriage is a term that is widely used outside of the church context as well. Those who say that marriage is a religious term are not only attempting to invalidate same-sex marriages, but are also, possibly unintentionally invalidating heterosexual marriages performed outside of the church. Any couple who's marriage does not take place in a church or is not presided over by a priest or pastor is not married either by the definition given to marriage to prevent homosexuals from taking part in "marriage." If we want to say that "marriage" is only valid for those having it performed in-church then any heterosexual couple "married" in the court is in the same situation as a homosexual couple without the term marriage: a civil union. If you don't want marriage to be invalidated for those heterosexual couples, supporting yes on 8 is not the answer. Despite this rational, the main point of the opposition to the proposition is the discrimination built into the proposed law. This is the first time in decades that an amendment to the law would be made taking away rights rather than granting rights. That is complete discrimination and is not fair. Everyone should be treated as a human being. Any christian can agree that that is in the basic teachings of the church. If you want to be true to your religion, practice tolerance and respect.

This whole blog was based off of a heated debate over a yes on 8 facebook status posted by a friend. Although I obviously do not agree with her position, the debate included a lot of name-calling and disrespect. If we don't respect the opposition, how can we expect them to respect our stance? 

My stance: NO ON 8

Obama/Biden 

Thank you for reading and please vote informed on November 4th.

Only one to satisfy; Dare to be one of us girl

This is what I do with my time when I should be sleeping.

I plan to lose my hair in a few hours! 

Its part of my restlessness.

I just hope I don't lose too much more of my individuality.

An adventure.

suicide notes

credit where credit is due

Photograph taken by Meredith Farmer

Basically, I just took a much needed bath for relaxation and almost fell asleep. It made me think, what would happen if I died in our bathtub? Not like suicide as the title implies, but if i just DIED? I was thinking it would really be a terrible situation, not just because I would be dead, but because everyone would have to deal with that. Also, it sounds silly, but it is a true concern; I was just thinking about how awkward it would be having to carry my naked body out. When I do die, I would prefer to go out with clothes on.

Till next time...

Im hoping to follow my dreams tonight, Im dying to know where they're going.

I feel like I will always start with a picture. Pictures mean so much to me. Some people say that a picture is worth a thousand words, others choose to say that the photographer is refusing to live in the moment. focusing too much on capturing it forever. I believe that photographs tell stories, start stories, and enable people to remember events they experienced. 

I've come to the realization that I don't have enough time to make everything about me known. First impressions seem to go by too quickly. Next time I'm going to hand the person a list of my beliefs and accomplishments and tell them to judge me on what is on the list instead of their initial reaction to me.

Exploration is an amazing activity. I would have been a perfect candidate to explore the new world if I was born in the 1700s. I live to find new things, new ideas, new places, new people. 

Speaking of finding new people, that is my mission this week. I will find out when clubs have their meetings and darn-it I am going to meet some new people. I am dying to explore.

Till next time...
