happy birthday!

so i originally started this post on sunday, which was my birthday. i meant to throw in picutres but put that off until later and never picked it back up this week so... here we go.

i got the cutest little things for my birthday. some hilights: cupcake band aids, jones soda mints, a polka-dotted lunch bag, a pretty necklace, a gorgeous poster for my room when i finally get it repainted, and a reference book i've been wanting.
i got quite a handful of birthday wishes from my friends on facebook. it absolutely made my day.

i was thinking (on my birthday) about my birthday last year. i've come a long way since then, and i'm really proud of myself for that.

it just dawned on me. i got my computer last year on my birthday. happy birthday atticus! :D

well, this has been a sufficiently random post.
i don't recall where these came from, so i can't give proper credit, but i thought they were fitting.











currently suck in my head: birthday by the beatles and can you feel the love tonight from the lion king :D

oh. and i blew out all the candles on my cake in one breath. can't tell you the last time i did that. i guess my wish is going to come true!

JAMinAugust2.0

yeah, i know, i already did an august JAM. but since it's techinically supposed to be done on the 29th of each month (that seems to make more sense now that i think about it) i decided i would stop being a rulebreaker and go ahead and wait till the end of the month since i am now aware of the specific date. :D so here we go..

needing... more sleep. i've been getting up way earlier since school's started and my sleeping habits haven't quite adjusted yet.

reading... wrecked by e.r. frank (because i want to) and the handmaid's tale by margaret atwood (for my english class. it's...interesting. to say the least.)

enjoying... my graphic design, history, and sociology classes.

non-enjoying... taking my friend to and from school everyday (sometimes) and getting up early and having homework every night in the same subjects (all the time).

drinking... a route 44 cherry coke from sonic at happy hour. my new love.

listening... to my playlist of favorite beatles songs. the current song is: back in the USSR. (it makes me think of a russian version of the beach boys :D)

wondering... how i could switch up my routine a little; i'm already bored and i've only been in school for two weeks. any suggestions? what do you do when you need some variety in your life?

recommending - if you wanna play (i highly recommend it; it's actually a lot of fun), check out the link over in the sidebar. there's a box with a little picture that will take you straight to the directions, or in the i love reading... section you can just scoot on down to August Street.

have a fabulous weekend!

i'm still figuring this out

first post.
...
i've had this here blog for a little while but haven't had anything to post.
so i decided that i should post something.


first off, let me tell you a little about my intention for this.
this will be the stand-in for an actual website since i don't really want to pay for one.
i have a youtube channel (haven't posted anything yet due to software inconveniences).
everything i post there will also be posted here.


this is the (official) sexyfred site.
i will post any news i have for you,
videos i make,
things i write,
and things i make.


like these.
i made these in my graphic design class.
(yeah, i said class. so that means there are parameters for each piece i do)



this first one was 'inspired' by the work of wassily kandinsky.
my friend tom says it looks like a party.

i don't particularly care for it.















this one is my favorite one i've done so far.
we had to choose lyrics to a beatles song
(i picked come together, obvioiusly).
i love the beatles,
so it was really hard for me to settle on one song.
but i think it turned out nicely.
(this is currently hanging somewhere inside my school)










this one was just preparation for the next one.
we were using different filters in photoshop,
so she told us to just play with them.
and i produced this. i thought it looked cool so i saved it.










i honestly don't really like this one.
okay, i like the way his glasses turned out.
we had to divide the picture into four sections,
each with its own color scheme.
i call him joe,
though that isn't his real name.
this is currently hanging in the entrance
to my school's library.














so that's all i have right now that is in a usable format (aka jpeg)
there's more to come.


i totally just got off topic.
sorry about that.


so anyway,
youtube channel.
sexyfred.
(url for that is in the about me section of the profile)
also listed there is the url for my playlist,
should you want to listen to what i'm listening to.
and also my (lame) myspace url.


oh. you probably want to know the significance of
'sexyfred'.
basically, all you need to know is that it is an inside joke
kind of thing between myself and one of my best friends.


speaking of kaitlin,
we are (hopefully) going to get our youtube channel started soonish.
we are going to have our own kind of..i don't know what wording i'm looking for,
blog-ish, show-like, thing.
it's gonna be awesome.
and like i said, hopefully this will occur within the next couple of months.
i'm getting excited.

so i will also post updates and links from that on this blog.


i hope that wasn't too excruciating.
and i hope i spelled that right.


hopefully i'll have another update for you soon.
(hopefully i'll be able to upload a video soon.)




have a lovely day.
;D
