I've been working on a few things, all massively distracting and keeping me away from the epic bloggers out there. But I'm about to free up a bit (well, in some ways) and hopefully I'll be able to return more regularly than once a month

An exerpt:

Seeing that, watching the first thing go right, all my adrenaline drained. I felt like there should have been a visible shadow of energy next to me, like if I could look quickly enough, I'd see it maliciously escaping. I could feel it leave me, like reaching that point was enough reason for my body to give out now that something, anything was secure. Could almost hear it say "we've got to pass out now, nothing else matters. You've reached the minimum and that's all I need to give out, don't really care what you think about it. I'll take any reason to let this go." Try and fight that. Try and reason with Exhaustion and tell it, "but I'm not finished yet." See how far you get.

"mother I lost it all on the fear of the lord I was given"

I really aught to stop doing this in direct sunlight so I'm not forced to wear shades in every post and then maybe I'll look like a person and not a terminator.

How do you like the processing here? Each is a little different, but all essentially upping the "shadow" "contrast" and "fade color" settings on iPhoto, just varying degrees.

Also got a black pair of these pants, which came with these tears, though I've since torn both pairs a bit more to emulate the Topshop versions and am thinking of going back for a second set to do this to. freaking only way I'm even going to come close to wearing pants this summer.

These boots have been in my dreams since this June 2007 Vogue spread with Keira Knightley, so much so that I actually screamed when I found my $3 vintage black version a few months back, even though they are about three sizes too big.

But now, thanks to eBay, the brown Frye Engineers that Keira also fell for are a freaking reality. For fifty bucks. I'm not kidding. AND THESE ACTUALLY FIT DAMMNIT.

So I'm breaking them in and will post some epic pics soon, but for now it's back to the school work and being uncreative in ink stains, sweatshirts and coffee spills.
