just a minute...in september

yeah, it's a day early, but i couldn't wait to do my JAM for this month. i figured i'd probably have more time today than tomorrow (i had next to no homework tonight, whereas i have a crew meeting for west side story and a hair appointment tomorrow.)

watching... some great tv. i absolutely love glee. and i can't wait for ugly betty to come back. and i rejoyced at the return of snl! oh how long i've waited for new episodes...

reading... looking for alaska by john green. finally! the library had it in! i haven't gotten to read a whole lot since i checked it out, though, because i've been swamped with homework.

excitedly awaiting... fall rally! the beginning of november will bring me to all my friends from colorado, among other places. i haven't seen them since june.

loving...

• all my friends.
• my church family.
• the lemon cake my mom baked for my sister's birthday.
• cute etsy shops.
• graphic design, spanish, and history.
• catchy and uplifting songs.
• cute and comfy clothes (especially my striped cardigan).
• life.

finishing... my latest graphic design project. we're designing the cover for the program of study for all the middle school and high school kids in my whole district (the book that gives you a description of every single class). i finally wrapped up my self portrait made out of letters and other characters (obviously i took advantage of the simplicity of parentheses).

it's based on the photo that is my current/display/default photo.

contemplating... new blog names. the only one i've come up with that i think is catchy is tale of a dream unknown. what do you think?

listening... to electric feel my mgmt and new perspective by panic! at the disco quite a bit. (panic! is one of my most favorites. i'm so glad they brought the exclamation point back, but i'm super disappointed that they've been sliced in half.)

i. love. life.

alright. this just may end up being a totally random post... i don't know. i just had some thoughts that i wanted to share with you all.

first off, i saw the time traveler's wife with one of my best friends last week. it was good, but also sad. it sorta ended on a good note though. i would definitely recommend it.

next, i'm thinking of changing the name of my blog. i realize that this would be having to change the url and therefore creating a whole new blog, but i'm really feeling that a new name is necessary. sexyfred was just kinda a placeholder until i could think of some better names. which i'm working on. i'm open to suggestions if you think of a name that suits this blog ;D

i was rearranging the books on my bookshelves when i found a little binder that i used to write stories in when i was in elementary school, and i decided that i would use it to jot down my thoughts this year, because i know i'm in for a lot of growth and change. i'm not sure exactly what will go down, but i know that i'm absolutely ready for everything life throws at me. and even though i know it'll sometimes be trying, i am so excited for all the new experiences i'll have this year.

so in this notebook, i started writing in the front and when i was done, i doodled in the back of it. i had forgotten how good it felt to just draw. and to just write. i need to use pencils more often.

OH! and school started on tuesday. wednesday was my first day of graphic design. i have missed it. i've been deprived of photoshop and designing all summer. i'm going to like this class even better, i think. there are only five of us, whereas last year i'd say there were around twenty. i've started my first project, which i'll explain more when it's done and posted, but it starts with a photo of myself. the only other girl in my class took this while i was playing with my bracelet:

i really like it :D

oh, and i still haven't solved that bloglovin issue from the post below, so if you know how to help me, i would be eternally grateful.

that's all i have for you right now, but stay tuned! there's more to come.

currently listening to: random playlists. but my current favorite song (which i listen to in the car almost all the time when i'm by myself) is we walk by the ting tings. it's super catchy. ;D
