Let's watch the stars as they disappear, as they fall from the sky

Watched the meteor shower last night and just came in from watching it tonight, it's always so wonderful seeing stars streak through the sky, it's so sudden, fleeting and brilliant. I consistently break into stupid smiles and feel a little jolt of excitement everytime I see a shooting star. Tonight I kept thinking of a couple lines from the only part of Hamlet I really like, 'this most excellent canopy, the air, look you, this brave o'erhanging firmament, this majestical roof fretted with golden fire'
Trite I know, but I love it, and it seems fitting.
I was ment to go to a Depeche Mode concert tonight at the Shoreline Ampetheatre, but it was canceled just last night, still bummed about it but watching the sky tonight seems to have made up for it a little.
I am resolved to update this blog more, even though no one else reads it, apparently, I like to at least put some things done in writing and releasing them into the miasma of the internet is good because it forces me to stay mostly positive. I think I've been too distracted with my twitter.
Well it is late and I have to wake up in about 6 hours, so I will say adeui.

Fire Arts Festival and Amanda Fucking Palmer

Everything was awesome, meaning it stuck awe into me. Super bonus got a copy of the book Who Killed Amanda Palmer signed by both Miss Palmer and Neil Gaiman, plus she used one of my pictures on her blog, even if it was a blurry one... and I took one of the same bit of her show perfectly in focus grr. Definitely going again next year, all the pictures are here I highly recommend looking at them all.

Incognito!

I instantly want to go "I say!" in a very posh accent when I put the monocle and mustache on. All made from an old broken record, because I'm too poor to buy proper supplies, destitution is the birth of recycling!

Oh hai blog I no u!

Neglected this blog, oops, anyway school over, went to London for a week, missing it again I do adore that city. All the pictures are here. Mostly of museums and such, didn't get a chance to just wander around and take pictures of interesting people and random things like that, sadly.
One of my paintings got accepted by the Marin County Fair, it's not my favourite, but it looks most like Paul McGann... almost exactly like the cover for one of his Doctor Who audios, it was eerie when I noticed the similarities. So lame.
I recently discovered Emilie Autumn, she is fab, her vioce sounds like Amanda Palmer, but more goth, and slightly electronic, with violins and harpsichord galore! So much tasty harpsichord, and Bach... plus she wears gorgeous corsets and what have you, a girl after me own 'eart. I have so much new music right now, so much good music I could go on about it for hours.
Been DVRing Wimbledon every day, found myself only watching the men... the girls all annoy me with their endless squeks, yelps, and grunts.
Hoping to do some jewelry making tomorrow... maybe some sheep earrings since they're simple and already designed.
Finally got back to doing Wii Fit today, after '196 days' of not going near it, though I did stuff independantly so I'm not a total sack of unflexed muscle, anyway it kicked my ass, I did a... 1.25 hour workout including yoga, and this after going to Death Guild (no lovely Davey Havok this time, alas) last night and dancing in my huge platform goth boots... ugh, but hula hooping in Wii Fit to And One was super fun.
I swear I need someone to manage me from day to day, tell me what to do make sure I do it. My lack of work ethic is amazing. Even when I do things I either don't finish them or don't take pictures which I really want to do with everything I work on.

Guy De Maupassant quote.

'Now when beliefs are unreasonable one should have all or none at all. I myself am a Freethinker; I revolt at all the dogmas which have invented the fear of death, but I feel no anger toward places of worship, be they Catholic Apostolic, Roman, Protestant, Greek, Russian, Buddhist, Jewish, or Mohammedan. I have a peculiar manner of looking at them and explaining them. A place of worship represents the homage paid by man to "The Unknown." The more extended our thoughts and our thoughts become, the more The Unknown diminishes, and the more the paces of worship will decay. I, however, in the place of church furniture, in place of pulpits, reading desks, altars, and so on would fit them up with telescopes, microscopes, and electrical machines; that is all. ' - My Uncle Sosthenes by Guy De Maupassant
It's so nice to read something written in the Victorian age that is supporting of my own beliefs. Especially among a group of short stories I'm growing to love more and more. I wish everyone would read these, or anything by Guy De Maupassant.
Good wine pleases me greatly, it's so nice to have a glass before bed while reading... when I meet a man who shares these loves I will be truly content.
Stay tuned, real update at some later date.

A proper entry because I'm in the mood for it.

First entry not containing pictures of any real thoughts other than about myself.
Things are rather decent with me, nothing new to report. Still single and under -achieving as ever, but actually actively taking better care of my body, exercising, almost every day, and mostly content with life, though I have fallen to the darkside and picked up a romance novel, but I got it because the main character's name is Arion which was eerie, given my screen name (and cheesy, but damn good since I was like 12 vampire story) being TheVampireAirion for years until RandomPrefect, and plus he's really a unicorn, so seriously like a bad sci-fi channel movie in book form and without lesbians
Artistically I think I'm doing rather well, leaning heavily towards ceramics as a chosen medium, along with jewelry, but since both those take money to set up outside of school I'm looking into print making/ silk screening, I still adore painting but no one will ever care for my style, no matter how much I develop it, not in the real art world. So just trying to learn everything that I'm interested in and still not working towards a degree. Also I'm finally around people whose abilities I admire and yet they take interest in my work, so nice to finally get some sort of... well respect, even if its small.
Still no driver's license though I can drive just fine I hate it, eventually, probably this summer, I'll get a damn license.
On the relationship side of things I still hate having no emotional support or succor, and miss physical love desperately, but the past few months I've been feeling remarkably content alone, more than ever in my life (I'm weird and romantic and my greatest desire in life has been love, since probably age 7). Just don't know how to, can't seem to, meet anyone, but whatever, so it goes.
Still filling my time with tv/movies, reading more than I was for a while. Finishing With Nails which is fabulous for a movie/actor geek.
Debating whether or not to treck to Chicago in November for a Doctor Who convention, including Paul McGann... leaning heavily towards not going, a) POOR and b) still have this thing where I don't want to meet people I adore, but secretly I want to kid nap them and have a lovely tea party with them.
OH! Riff Trax did Twilight, finally, about 10 minutes into that movie all I could think of was "Riff Trax, now, do it' and then 'Carlisle and Jasper are kind of hot...'. If you don't know Riff Trax, check them out.
Also I got a twitter reply from Michael Sheen about him quoting Withnail & I... geek swoon.
This entry is truly how skitso and point jumpingly odd my brain works at full speed, when not ennuied or melancholied. Get me going at 3 am sometime, it's endlessly pathetic and amusing.
Poirot time, before I keep going on for another five paragraphs of nonsense.

More ceramic work.

Ceramics seem to be the only things I'm finishing and photographing these days. Soon I'll photograph some jewelry I've been making and finish up some paintings. Maybe.
First a piggy bank shaped like a human heart.
A skull inkwell, or a skull box.

And finally Morpheus in progress, he's at home with me over spring break.I'm starting to feel positively Pygmalion about this project.
