Give Blood! but read the fine print before you wait in line

I tried...



But had I read the fine print and 12 page packet before waiting in line for 45 minutes, during my lunch break, might I add, this all could have been avoided.

Lesson: If you have had a piercing/tattoo (within the past year), done needle-related drugs, and/or slept with people for money, or slept with a guy who's slept with a guy, even if it only happened once then, yes, your blood will be rejected.

P.S. I only violated the first crime.

the grandest of canyons

Grand Canyon 09::: beautiful, beautiful, beautiful.

Here's where we're headed...

I think it's sort of beautiful in a gross sort of way.

Sunset.

The elk babies on the road.

Embrace the canyon :)

I love the bizarre glow of the sign, it's creepy, in the best sort of way.

Have I told you lately, that I love you?

Because baby, I do.

Ingrid Hora: functional escapism

I would like to escape also, maybe soon, unfortunately not in a beautiful manner as this.

"i just want to be alright, try to live a simple life"

Listened to my song today, 2 times. First time in a long time. That's what happens when nostalgia takes over and the good times seem so far away.

I'm seriously considering moving..... to ..... Portland!

Where the cost of living is LOW :) and the the charm, grunge, and coffee is HIGH.
Perhaps, in January? I just don't know if I'm cut out for Southern California. LA and I have a love/hate relationship. I hate what I love about it and I love what I hate. I love how it's the Art/Fashion/Music empire of the world, but I hate everything that comes with that-- The lack of character, the flood of materialism... *sigh. I love being able to go on roadtrips or be in Hollywood in 30 minutes, but there's more to life, and I don't think I'm going to find it here. I need a city that's not going to eat my soul or my wallet, nom nom nom.

masks

Kinda rad, right?? Beth makes these wonderful creations and apparently she models them for me.
