I know a lot of Jenny's.

so....

not sure why Blogger wants to underline everything I write....

...I guess it's that important. ;)

But it's true-

I do know a lot of Jenny's.

at least 7.

And 2 of them are connected to this video somehow.

haha!

I do not know why, but my sound and my video are way off... blast...

See Jennie? I bought skinny jeans. Not jeggings. just wanted to let you know. ;)

And so I bought a unicorn... so I could pet it.

First of all, if you have not seen Despicable Me, go put it in right now.

Second.

You know how I'm going to be a rockstar someday?

Well,

baby girl got herself a new guitar. :)

Yes boys and girls, take a look at a future rockstar's first 6-string.

I got it yesterday and we've basically been inseparable ever since.

I'm kind of ridiculously happy. :)

Instruments I play so far:

• Piano (my first and greatest! love it. :) )
• Flute (haha- I have some good stories with this one!)
• Ukulele (my island blood said it was bound to happen someday)
• Guitar (which was also bound to happen because I've recently discovered that my dad played in a band... HAHA! love it. :) )

life is good. family is better. :)

bangs. need to be cut. NOW.

So I realized why Lake Powell and I get along so well.

It's because we have similar color schemes. :)

...that might be what we call destiny. ;)

And by the way,

my nail polish right now is dark purple.

Like they say at McDonald's:

i'm lovin it. :)

Two. Dos. Lua. Er. french word for "two" that sounds like dwa. so it's probably something like doi. cause doi rhymes with moi which is spelled m-o-i.

Well, I told you all about how I was applying for graphic design.

I also posted my whole portfolio on my blog.

So I feel like if I just don't say anything at all then I'll have people wondering.

So I feel like I should tell you

that I didn't get in.

yeah, ok, sure. fine. I did cry a little bit.

Cause I WAS upset.

But now,

I'm fine.

Like I'm not going to go proclaim it to the world,

but if someone asks me about, I have no problem telling it like it is.

Now,

it's full speed to round two.

I'm applying again in March.

Deadline is the 15th.

Graphic Design?

bring it on.

One.

Ben Barnes = so. attractive.

Narnia 3: Let me tell you. I saw numero uno and loved it. Saw Prince Caspian and LOVED it. absolutely. Just saw #3 today and OH. MY. FREAK. absolutely amazing. I mean, I was blown away. The credits came on and I couldn't move. Maybe that's just me. In fact, it probably is. But I absolutely loved it.

ANYWAY.

Guess what?

I'm in an art show. :)

My cousin took this picture, and I haven't actually seen it in person, but when I do, expect another pic! Also, another picture of me with my OTHER piece in the show.

Yes, I have 2 pieces in an art show.

Floating on cloud 9?

...just a wee bit. ;)

My epic battle wounds came. :)

Hey.

I know you're dealing with some pretty tough stuff right now. So listen.

You are ok. Life is good. You're not a failure, you're not a bad person, you do have hope. You've got people rooting for you, and I can tell that you have the desire to climb higher. I see it. So you just keep doing those things that the Lord wants you to do. You know that everything's going to work out in the end. I know you hear that a lot, but don't blow if off because you know it's true. I know that this is hard for you to deal with right now, but that's for a few reasons. #1: To test you and allow you to grow. #2: Because Satan puts forth more effort to bring down the righteous and hinder the most worthy causes. So. Instead of letting the difficulty slow you down or cause you to retreat back into your safe zone (where no growth or progression happens), use it to push through this trial in spite of the "cunning plan of the evil one." Embrace the pain and difficulty and let it only motivate you to overcome this obstacle. Just keep going.

Just do it.

Welcome to the Valley of Fire. :)

2 epic falls. No epic battle wounds. What is this?

Some people watch America's Next Top Model for the photography.

(which is absolutely awesome, by the way)

Me?

I watch Shake It Up! on Disney Channel for the dancing. :)

love. that. show.

Also:

1: Firework Design is not a permanent name. just fyi.

2: This baby's going to be in an art show. :)

life? life is stressful. But...

life is good. :)

Jake Parker = awesome artist!

ok 1st of all:

BABY YOU'RE A FIIIIIIIIIIIREWORK!!

love that song. It's stuck in my head right now. :)

Second.

application to graphic design?

check.

How am I feeling?

terrified. anxious. nervous. excited. absolutely terrified. hopeful.

basically I'm holding my breath.

oh gosh. applying/auditioning for majors.

WORST. WAIT. EVER.

yes, worse than Christmas.

I love Christmas. :)

Here's my portfolio.

biggest disappointment... I have this AWESOME drawing that I'm working on, but I wasn't sure if it was going to get done. So I chose a backup just in case. ...this is the backup... I wish I had just left it out. It seemed good at the time. But oh well- it's done now. I'll post the real drawing when it's done. It would've helped me get in WAY more than this one will.

The head of the department liked this one.

And he LOVED this one. My mom loved it too. Enoch, if I get in, I'll buy you pizza. Well... I'll buy us both pizza. :)

I don't love this one, but some BFA students did. If I don't get in, this will be my downfall #2 (#1 being my first one).

Head of dept. liked this one too. I was rather a fan of it. :)

Remember this one? :)

and this one? :) Head and BFA students liked it. BFA student saw it and said, "BEAUTY." Let's hope my judges agree. Michael and Elise, this one was dedicated to you. :)

How about this one? :) The Head liked this one too.

BFA student liked it... possible downfall point #3. They want a variety of media. Don't worry, I'm still trying to be hopeful!

My latest 2D Design project. My best piece I've turned in for that class. ...actually, I just turned it in today... (it may have been due a few weeks ago...) But I got 9.5 out of 10 on the assignment! I had another collage to go with it, which also contributed to the 9.5. But that one may have been the reason for the half-point deduction. It was good, but my teacher LOVED this one! She even put it on the board today! Which is kind of a big deal in that class. ;) haha! And she talked about me to some girls in my class after she put it up! Totally made my day. :)

This. took. me. forever. The reason why my clincher drawing didn't get done. I had 8 hours to finish this and my drawing, and this took me 7.5 hours. 7.5 HOURS. I was hitting some creativity walls... but everyone applying to graphic design and illustration has to do this. Each square had a different line in it and we had to do something with it. I'm happy with it. :)

cross ya fingers. :)
