today was just an off day.
went climbing, and had an off night there too. but I did watch one of the videos playing there, and one of those really good climbers took three days to finish a course at his level. everybody has bad days, right?
ready for the next day: tomorrow I am going to 'zumba' with Mikaela (gotta stay in shape).
grateful its the weekend.

library.

I freakin love the library.
like. oh my gosh. you have NO idea. (<---valley girl talking about a mall, etc.)
I am there all the time. I just love reading so much.

currently, I am reading 'The Lost Art of Walking"
but I also have a Bradbury book, a few about mountains (specifically Kilimanjaro), and one about a Ghost Town. and I have "Atlas Shrugged" on hold ready for me to pick up tomorrow. books make me sooooo happy. I love getting lost in other worlds...

I'm getting my hair cut next week... I want dreads, but my parents refuse to house and feed me if I have them (I'm still at community college, and live at home)... so I need some ideas? I definitely want to keep the length... and I am not super crazy about layers... but maybe some bangs? I dunno...

willow the weird kitty:


I always feel like such a loser when I go to starbucks... people are so judgemental there, and it's supposed to be a coffee shop... the epitome of 'welcomness'
well that's what I thought at least... I really like the Coffee Scene in town, it's a great coffee shop... I should start going to the open mic nights more... not to preform, mind you, but just listen to all the great local talent.

project 359: starbucks at home...

project 359: feb 26



project 359: feb 27

today was nice. I had a great lunch with my grandpa at Chick-Fil-A, watched current tv, then went rock climbing this evening. met some new people, and got a lot of help and tips! I have successfully finished all of the V0s!! YES! even that crazy weird one, but thankfully one of the guys there helped me out with spotting, cause I kept falling off. I mean, I didn't really mind him catching me, and maybe I did fall once or twice on purpose... hehehe, JUST KIDDING! I love The Climbing Place, because everyone there is super nice and down to earth. I definitely need a membership.

this is the end.

project 359: so you may not be able to see it, but I have a blister on my thumb!! YES!!! Because if you read my post last Tuesday, 'if you use your thumb, it shows strength!' hahaha, so maybe I am getting stronger!? I love rock climbing.


so yes, my addiction was once again satisfied! and tonight my new friends David and Nick came out and climbed with me. Oh, and I tried slack line, really fun and ridiculously hard... I think I got a whole two and a half steps before I fell.
and on a more self-examination note... it was brought to my attention tonight, that I am a 'Debbie Downer' and 'like' to complain... and I was thinking... I am and I do! at first I was really offended, but then realized, I needed to hear that... I have such a dark view on life, and I really need to cheer up and stop complaining about anything and everything. it's a habit I fall into, so it will be somewhat difficult to break, but I am really going to try. So thanks person who told me this tonight (you know who you are... if you read my blog... which I doubt you do, ha), I really needed to hear it :]

WARNING! Weird photos.

so, my project 359:


I was listening to The Decemberists today, and one of my favorite songs is 'Shankhill Butchers'
well... I just imagined a dripping butcher knife:

'The Shankill butchers ride tonight
You better shut your windows tight
They're sharpening their cleavers and their knives...'


with this whole project 359, I really hope I am not coming across as conceited... I am going to try to take more original self portraits. Also, I might post some of my art projects on here too... we'll see.

this is the end.

so, I am SUPER addicted to climbing.
I went tonight, and it was great.
learned some new stuff like "Only n00bs wear socks with their shoes" and "if you can use your thumb, that shows strength" and my favorite from a little boy: "Wow, I climbed pretty good right there!" I replied, "Yeah! You did!! That course was really hard too!" "Nah, not for me, I'm an expert" ha

no pics of me climbing, cause I went by myself tonight.
so yeah...
