So, let's try this knitting thing again...

I knit a hat for my 2-year old cousin, Carson.

Breakup Letter
Category: Romance and Relationships

Dear Pensacola, FL:
It's not you, it's me. No, no, don't say anything...and please don't cry. We've had a good run. Let's focus on the happy memories, shall we? ...we've just grown apart. Of course I won't ever forget you...how could I? Every moment we've spent together over the years, both good and bad completely shaped us both into who we are now. Over the last few years, we really gave it our best shot, but we both knew we were grasping at a fleeting romance. Something this intense couldn't last forever. I will always love you...we just haven't been ~in love~ for some time now. I know what it looks like, that I'm leaving you for someone younger, flashier...everyone's been talking. Chicago and I have to explore this connection...this attraction - but that doesn't diminish anything you and I have had. In another life, we're perfect for oneanother...and who knows? Maybe one day...after some time apart...after I get my head together...we can give this another go. I know our story isn't quite over.
I'll get my things, now...take care...and call me anytime. Really.
Nina

In the past two weeks, I've started filming a little movie project, gone to the beach, went to the VIP opening of a new club, dealt with a handful of drama, took my mother out for Mother's Day, dabbled in a bit of shopping, mastered the paddleball {213!}, applied to my new school {and filled out the fafsa}, attended a graduation, went to a show, learned the joys of drinking in the daytime {housework+wine+Lily Allen}, gone ice skating {do not like} and I've shot a wedding, an engagement, a starter model portfolio, and a band. This weekend is another wedding and while I desperately need to finish editing the photos from the previous wedding, instead I'm sitting here, only writing this little blog as a justifiable form of procrastination.

Lies: "Come on, Nina...it's not procrastination. You've been meaning to update your blog for a while now! You're actually getting something done that should've been done a while ago!"

Me: "Oh, yes...just like I needed to upload all of Lily Allen's discography to my Zune, right?"

Lies: "EXACTLY. Music is proven to make you 79% more productive."

Me: "You made that up."

Lies: "Wine helps too. It's good for your heart."

I'm well on my way to being an old lady who cracks a bottle right before lunch and loves her sailors because they stay the same age no matter how old she gets.

Photo Bomb // Easter Weekend
Current mood:

grateful
Category: Blogging

«Yeah. I just don't know what I'm supposed to be.
You know? I tried being a writer, but... I hate what I write.
And I tried taking pictures, but they're so
mediocre, you know? Every girl goes through a
photography phase. You know, like horses?
You know? Take dumb pictures of your feet...»

Catch up, give up, grow up.
Current mood:

peaceful
Category: Blogging

^{Lolo.
Zaragoza, Spain.

Max.
perhaps Maxine or Maxwell.
Injured dove.
Discovered post-Hawk attack in the park across from my apartment.

I'm sitting up late, watching LOST and keeping an eye on Max as (s)he snuggles up in a wadded up nest of terry cloth. She's taken in a total of 15ml of a sugar/salt/water mixture administered by needleless syringe. The wildlife rescue has noted that a majority of injured birds don't perish from their injuries, but from severe dehydration. The disoriented animals are so much in shock, they can't think to drink. The local wildlife sanctuary opens in four hours.

grow up // We haven't had regular internet access for a few months now and the times when the fix was in, I just haven't had the urge. I guess I'm officially a recovered internet junkie. I've been toying with the idea of deleting my myspace {gasp! without a social network, you don't exist!}, but it's just so convenient when the random character from your past cares to make a cameo. I'll admit, I haven't been reading my friends page, either. If something epic has happened to you and you blogged about it and wonder why I haven't mentioned condolences or congratulations, I apologize.

give up // Life without internet is interesting. More simple. Slower-paced. I've learned to curb my appetite for instant gratification. Between no internet and no cable television, I feel like I've somehow managed to combat our society and media's attempts to intensify our life experience. Not to say I can't keep up, just that I'm filtering through a lot of unnecessary inputs.

catch up // Here's a bit of what I've been up to: planning for Chicago, writing and drawing with actual paper and pen, reading, laundry, being sick, cooking, playing frisbee, designing, getting proper sleep, making hunting knives, seeing old friends, driving to North Carolina, working a banquet, and giving up on job hunting only to surprisingly discover I'm being hunted by several jobs.

Hope all's well with you, internetland.
See you around.

^{I feel like there's a ruckus going on//like inside of me conor oberst and max bemis are singing at the top of their lungs about all the things they're passionate about while authors furiously scribble inspirational prose on bits of handmade paper. the sheets are dancing around as they're flung over shoulders and caught and read aloud by spanish orators, drunk on red wine and empty promises. my skin is tingly all over from winter chill and restlessness and an aching to create and destroy and become and leave and arrive. oh! to arrive!

i am filled with hope.
kinetic energy in the making.
just waiting to thaw.}

2009.
Category: Blogging

^{Hello, brave new year.
Are you ready for this?
Everything is changing.

I find it strange that we celebrate new beginnings in the dead of Winter when most things are still in hibernation. The year should change over in the Spring. Or perhaps Spring is when we get a reprieve for all the resolutions we turn into dismal failures. I'd like to hear what everyone is pledging to do differently in two-thousand and nine.

Mister Danger and I have committed to only patronizing locally-owned restaurants and cutting out Wal*Mart altogether. I have other goals in mind for the year {as I always do} but those are our "official" resolutions.

I leave you with one of the most important lessons I've learned in 2008:
Telling the truth won't make people like you, but it will make it mean more when people do.}
