ironicly all my “big finals projects” seem to be due this week or next. this is my type project. its made from the lyrics of “Daydreamer” by Adele. it took a while. and still could use some tweeking. just thought i would get your thoughts on it… obviously the colors are alot better than shown here. but you get the jist. (something things are also showing up weird i.e. the white spots. not sure whats going on there)

random emotions facebook, organization, pictures 6:52 pm
so i took this picture yesterday. and i’m still not sure how i feel about it. lol but thats not the real point of this post. the real point is that i recently uploaded it to my facebook profile as my profile picture. and the real thing that is beginning to bother me is that because of the way my head is facing the picture leads you off the page and not into it. and i’m being serious. its just facebook right? but it still bothers me lol.
now while it leads you off the page on facebook, here it leads you into my flickr and blogroll. both of which you should check out.
now that you all think i’m crazy.
have a nice day.

so heres what the doctors had to say…
they discovered that opening between my stomach and my esophagus is larger than normal, which isn’t really a bad thing except it makes it easier for food to go out that way. then at the bottom of my stomach there was an ulcer which is healed now but caused the place where my stomach connects to my small intestine to become larger than it should be. so i’m on some meds and they’re hoping that everything will just come back together and fix itself.
they also did a biospy of my stomach to check for any unwanted bacteria. but they’re pretty sure there isn’t any.
so now its a waiting process. but its nice to have answers. praying for complete healing SOON.

so i tried to upload two more photos i love but wordpress is being weird and i gave up. lol. anyways…
i’m coming home tomorrow for a doctors appt friday. i am excited and scared. i am excited to figure out why i have been puking for the last 6 months. but scared i’ll just be another mystery and they’ll tell me they don’t know whats wrong, and i’m tired of that. there is something wrong with me. FIGURE IT OUT. prayers would be fantastic.
its been an overwhelming week trying to get everything squared away for being gone and missing anywhere from 1-3 days of class. BUT on the plus side my two huge projects i had to turn in early my teachers were very positive about. and they are being great about this whole situation. except my math teacher. but thats another story.
that is all for now.

random emotions cold, hands, heating 6:33 pm
so our heating bills have been ridiculous up here. cause we live in the tundra. tomorrow our HIGH is -8! woo! well we have decided to knock our heat down to like 60 degrees fine by me i’m always in sweats anyways. BUT my hands get so cold. today while i was at class i had an A-HA moment! i remembered in marching band we use to buy the cheap gloves and cut the fingers off because of course we were cold out practicing at 6am in november, but we still needed to be able to feel our fingertips to play. well currently i still need my fingers to type, run my mouse, pen, etc etc. 
well i found these old black gloves in my closet today and chopped the fingers off.. covered them with a lil top coat finger nail polish so the ends wont fray and YAY for warm hands! so go on bloggers.. chop those fingertips off… you know you want to!
New Year Monday, Jan 12 2009
Uncategorized 2:09 pm
so i know i’m a little late on my goals for the new year… i like to give myself time to think about it… and i’m more than sure these will change over the next 12 months. but here goes… these are my big ones.
-get use to my wacom tablet : i got this last year for Christmas and haven’t spent much time exploring it, i packed it to move and got to busy (or maybe focused is the better word) with school i kept forgetting to get it back out. BUT i need to, bad. as a graphic designer my world will soon become wacom tablets (or should). and i would LOVE the new wacom display screen, except i dont have an extra $2,000 to purchase that, someday… someday.
-loosen up : i get worked up easily. if something doesn’t go the way i planned it to or the way i want it to. i tend to freak out, whether or not i’m showing it, you can almost be %100 positive its happening. its pry a good thing i have low blood pressure because then when this happens and my blood pressure raises i’m not going to die. but i have started to realize i need to start going with the flow more, this will be hard for me. i’m sure shannon will be more than happy to help me with this, he is great at letting me know when i’m being uptight. haha.
-i will not let first impressions ruin my semester : i often sit in the first day of class and think “this teacher is awesome, this class will be a blast and i’ll love it” OR “uhh.. this class is going to suck” the first, is almost always right. the later tho, can be right, or wrong. the problem is, is that i get it set in my mind that its going to suck, and it does, no matter what happens in the rest of class. this is a big one because i have a teacher i had last term that i didn’t really like because of a few things that happened, but not because of the entire class. also the teacher of the class i’m in now, is not who i thought it was and i’m not really to impressed yet. lol. i’m going to be positive.. and loosen up.
-keep my straight A’s : i realize this is going to be harder as my classes progress. BUT the big incentive is that if i keep my GPA up i get $500 back at the end of every semster i.e. A FREE CLASS! woo!
-actually finish a one-year-bible set-up : this i have attempted many-a-times. i own the one year bible. i’ve done other methods. but none work. usually about half-way through i get bored and sick of it. this year i have found one that i think i will enjoy. it keeps your bouncing around the bible, but still reading one book through at a time.
those are my goals. i understand they are kinda loose and not measurable but i think it will work best for me. i like being able to measure things, but they tend to discourage me rather than motivate me.
so here’s to 2009. i’m looking forward to you.
New KYC Web Wednesday, Jan 7 2009
KYC Kingdom Youth Church, Web Design 2:55 pm
so justin asked me to re-work the kyc website. i’ve been thinking and brain storming since then. i decided to try and venture from using kyc pictures as the background and such. the idea kinda came from our “what we believe” pages i thought it would look cool if it look like an actual person saying it. not sure if i’ll use this for all the pages or just for the “what we believe” or if justin will even like it lol. what are your thoughts?
this is a pretty rough draft. i did it yesterday while our pizza was cooking. lol. and while you’re here.. go click vote on the entry below so i can win a scholarship! lol thanks!
