Since then, I have made it to my last semester of college, done promotions for Cirque Du Soleil, taken pictures for the Discovery Channel, hemmed Barry Bostwick's pants, was on set with Anakin Skywalker, found a mentor, worked with her on an Off-Broadway play, photoshoots, and a couple tiny movie jobs, moved from Lincoln Park to Lincoln Square, discovered I like goat cheese, took circus class and trapeze class, turned 21, loved yoga until I hurt my back, worked in a haunted house, got published in Time Out Chicago, made the Dean's List, lived with four people (two of them Emilys), half moved into Nick's so tack on another four roommates (counting him), rediscovered my hidden pool skills, had my picture in the Florida Today newspaper, saw Robin Williams, Chris Rock, Eddie Izzard, and Flight of the Conchords shows for free, worked eight jobs, got paid for stiltwalking, started wearing contacts, bought a new camera, SAW NEIL FUCKING GAIMAN, met and killed Amanda Palmer, saw my first flying trapeze, went to a mime show, saw a circus interpretation of Neverwhere, learned how to use a sewing machine, chopped my hair off, grew my hair out, got an art crush on Tim Walker, got wrist tattoos, learned to juggle, fell in love in Chicago and with Chicago, and now I've got plans to move to L.A.

It's definitely time to go back though. It was time to go weeks ago. I'm looking forward to doing color in Photo II and having a math class to struggle over. As I told someone the other day, it will be a problem but at least it will be a familiar problem, unlike most of the things I dealt with last semester.

It will be interesting to start dating papers "2006" and have it sink in that it's a whole new year. 2005 was such a mess. I blame it on the fact that it was an odd number. I'm really looking forward to a nice, smooth 2006. ]]> ~coconutarrows http://coconutarrows.deviantart.com/journal/7352669/ http://coconutarrows.deviantart.com/journal/7352669/ Mon, 19 Dec 2005 08:34:51 PST
I miss Chicago.

Do you swear you won't forget me? If I found you, would you let me come and stay? ]]> ~coconutarrows http://coconutarrows.deviantart.com/journal/7196289/ http://coconutarrows.deviantart.com/journal/7196289/ Thu, 01 Dec 2005 16:12:36 PST

LOVE IT HERE

Going home for a weekend in October to see Vlad though ]]> ~coconutarrows http://coconutarrows.deviantart.com/journal/6505589/ http://coconutarrows.deviantart.com/journal/6505589/ Wed, 14 Sep 2005 17:49:54 PDT ~coconutarrows http://coconutarrows.deviantart.com/journal/6192297/ http://coconutarrows.deviantart.com/journal/6192297/ Wed, 10 Aug 2005 21:23:47 PDT
I've talked to my roommates- I have three. The one I'm sharing a bedroom with is simply AMAZING! She and I have wracked up a ridiculous phone bill. Her name is Emily, she has purple-red hair, and she does all her own piercings. She and I are going to get along just fine

Vlad and I are doing well too. He's been staying here late every night- we're up all night talking. ^_^ It'll be sad when summer ends and we both leave, but we'll stay friends. It'll be fine. ]]> ~coconutarrows http://coconutarrows.deviantart.com/journal/5859825/ http://coconutarrows.deviantart.com/journal/5859825/ Wed, 06 Jul 2005 18:40:26 PDT
Not to mention there is the matter of the wicked hot incredibly sweet Russian boy who has been taking me out. And will be calling any minute to take me out. <3 <3 ]]> ~coconutarrows http://coconutarrows.deviantart.com/journal/5494756/ http://coconutarrows.deviantart.com/journal/5494756/ Sun, 29 May 2005 16:32:14 PDT
Irony of ironies, my first day of freedom I got a message on MySpace from a kid I haven't heard from since fourth or fifth grade. Wicked cool.

Friday night I saw my last show at Lee as a hs student. Wanted to cry. Made me want to take my Lee people out to lunch and smother them all with love.

But less than three months til Chicago! ]]> ~coconutarrows http://coconutarrows.deviantart.com/journal/4772880/ http://coconutarrows.deviantart.com/journal/4772880/ Wed, 09 Mar 2005 20:36:48 PST ...of being condescending.

i cannot wait for spring. ]]> ~coconutarrows http://coconutarrows.deviantart.com/journal/4507562/ http://coconutarrows.deviantart.com/journal/4507562/ Sat, 05 Feb 2005 22:08:27 PST
Today was Sean and I's four month anniversary and it was lots of fun- Soul Calibur II and Hellsing ^^.

Sean is such a good boyfriend. And I think some of his good habits are rubbing off on me. So not only is he good to me, he's good for me to boot. He'll be sticking around for quite some time, I can tell ]]> ~coconutarrows http://coconutarrows.deviantart.com/journal/4218934/ http://coconutarrows.deviantart.com/journal/4218934/ Sun, 02 Jan 2005 08:42:59 PST
Chris and Jeremy are my best friends ever, Tosh and Alex are more fun than I can begin to recount, Sean is just fucking amazing and we're going to be together for a long time, I can tell.

Hmm. Makes me want a tuna melt. ]]> ~coconutarrows http://coconutarrows.deviantart.com/journal/3483459/ http://coconutarrows.deviantart.com/journal/3483459/ Thu, 30 Sep 2004 19:44:29 PDT
I also got cast as Hermia in A Midsummer Night's Dream and I'm absolutely LOVING it! Rehearsals are wonderful. Lysander, Helena, and Demetrius are all being played by some of my favorite people. I'm having an incredible time!!

My cousin also brought me back a box of Hello Panda from Boston. Only it's not a regular sized box. It's HUGE. It's like the size of a baby. It's CRAZY. I LOVE it. I brought it to rehearsal and just hugged it.

Life is so amazing right now. I want this all to just keep going ^__^ ]]> ~coconutarrows http://coconutarrows.deviantart.com/journal/3449400/ http://coconutarrows.deviantart.com/journal/3449400/ Sun, 26 Sep 2004 08:57:20 PDT
Does that mean it made him unhappy to date me?

I always thought I was a good girlfriend. I always prided myself on my ability to make people happy.

But I guess I was wrong... ]]> ~coconutarrows http://coconutarrows.deviantart.com/journal/3170806/ http://coconutarrows.deviantart.com/journal/3170806/ Fri, 20 Aug 2004 07:11:31 PDT
I get my tattoo in 2 hours...o.o

And it's my birthday! ]]> ~coconutarrows http://coconutarrows.deviantart.com/journal/3142256/ http://coconutarrows.deviantart.com/journal/3142256/ Mon, 16 Aug 2004 20:14:29 PDT . Wednesday I'm doing a photoshoot of Kevin and Amber, which is going to be amazing ^^. Then I'm going to Warped Tour on Thursday and then Friday is my birthday, and I'm getting my tattoo. This is gonna be such a great week! ]]> ~coconutarrows http://coconutarrows.deviantart.com/journal/3078688/ http://coconutarrows.deviantart.com/journal/3078688/ Mon, 09 Aug 2004 00:20:55 PDT
Today would have been our three month anniversary. It was a short time but I fell so hard for him. I haven't been dumped since my first boyfriend in 8th grade. I've been the dumper ever since. I hurt so bad.

It's worse because my parents have been gone for a week. I would have gone with them but I wanted to stay with Ben. And then all of this happened.

The only good thing to come out of this is friends have been coming out of the woodwork to help me get through this. People I never imagined would care are suddenly showing up to make sure I'm not alone. It makes me feel really loved. But then I remember the whole reason this is happening...because someone I really care about doesn't love me anymore.

I'll make it. I know I'll get through it. But it's not going to happen for a long time...so for now all I can do is hurt. ]]> ~coconutarrows http://coconutarrows.deviantart.com/journal/3050870/ http://coconutarrows.deviantart.com/journal/3050870/ Thu, 05 Aug 2004 16:03:39 PDT ~coconutarrows http://coconutarrows.deviantart.com/journal/2937229/ http://coconutarrows.deviantart.com/journal/2937229/ Wed, 21 Jul 2004 21:19:49 PDT -Carload of Lee People
