hello friends!
So for the past week I've been working very hard to put together this journal to sell some things I own, my mom owns, my mom made, etc. I'm leaving/going back to New York in about a week, so please if you can, take a look around! If you find something you like, leave me a message and help me fund my education/living expenses (which I promise does not include buying more clothes/shoes/etc) and I will appreciate it so much. I am willing to give discounts to friends, so if you want to bargain-- that's fine too!

Anyways, if any of you gals (or guys) are interested here are some things. I'll probably have more things in the future, but for now:

Life is getting scarier by the minute.
I don't know if any of you have seen the movie The Ballad of Jack and Rose with Camilla Belle, but I can relate so much with her character.
I'm been so anxious everyday since I've been back in New York. I didn't care so much at home, and all the suddenly, everything matters and I'm having a heart attack. My mom left Thursday, and I just wanted to bawl. I've been so homesick since then. So anxious I lost my phone and everyday since then, Ive been using the payphones on the street for the first time. So stressed about living situations with my roommate. So nervous about not living the life that everyone is living, like I'll be missing out on so fuckin much if I don't go to this party or that gig or this hangout. So fuckin unlike me to go out and buy a $45 Gustave Klimt poster and now that my mind is clear, I was obviously ripped off.

1. Leave me a comment saying something random, like the lyrics from your current favorite song, or your favorite kind of sandwich. Something random. Whatever you like.
2. I'll respond by asking you five questions so I can get to know you better.
3. Update your journal with the answers to the questions.
4. Include this explanation in the post and offer to ask other people questions.
![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) thegifthorse
1. what is your guiltiest pleasure?
probably shopping and splurging on things which i clearly do not need
2. what decade do you think you should have been born in, if not this one?
Either the early 1800's or the 1950's. I'm thinking sappy romance in Pride and Prejudice and the serenity of nature or after WWII and Cahier du Cinema/French New Wave and the advancement of cinema and film.
3. if you were a musical instrument, which would you be?
The Harmonica because its light and personal and I would travel all over
4. if you could live in any imaginary world from a work of fiction, be it book or movie, which would it be?
the world of castles and talking teapots and candles aka beauty and the beast
5. what is your favorite scene from any movie, ever?
oh god, this is so hard, theres so many. For now, all i can think of is the forest/tree-house/dancing/stranded scene in Badlands with Sissy Spacek and Martin Sheen. Theres so many more scenes though from other movies!

This morning, my mom was doing some digging around the house and found a 1950-52 lordomat leidolf wetzlar 35 mm camera that belonged to my dad. She gave it to me to keep and it's really exciting to me to own another camera, especially one that is so old and probably meant a lot to my dad. It's got his name on it and everything. I don't know very much about the camera. Actually, I don't know anything at all about it and had never even heard of one since today. So, I did a little researching online and still, theres very little information. It's not like a Leica or anything, but all the websites tell me how similar it is to one, since it's a "Lei"-dolf and it's old and from Germany. It tells me it's a rangefinder camera and I don't even know what that really means. Although in the viewfinder there's a little mis-alignment/alignment thing in the middle that I can adjust which is kind of cool. This is too much detail into one camera, so I'll stop that I'm exciting to shoot my first roll with it and see what it does. If anyone knows anything about it, let me know.
Here's the camera and me, with hair which seems to look like a short pixie cut but no its not short, but short-er.
also this morning was my first time driving ever. I started making turns in the parking lot that was full and that was scary, and even scarier- minutes later I was told to drive on Fremont, one of the busiest streets here. I wanted to shit in my pants. But driving is fun...right now. We'll see how far I advance.

| My first short |
[21 Jun 2007|11:03pm] |
Here's a quick-upload-youtube version of my first short that I worked on a week ago, for one week. It's MOS and done in 3 shots (initially intended to do it all in one shot). It looks easy and short, but it took 5 hours to shoot, a couple days for pre-production, and 4 hours to edit. I don't like how it's showing up on youtube, but c'est la vie.

so after
5 years since taking drivers ed at my high school,
seeing literally ALL my friends have their license,
being super jealous that they all have cars,
being probably the only kid that walked home from school until senior year,
relying on public transportation practically all my life (or dialing for the p-units),
developing life-long speed walking skills,
thinking i'll never fuckin drive in my entire life (probably),
not being in a car for 6 months (my longest! and i survived without being in one!),
hating being in cars after realizing im a victim of motion sickness,
almost being killed twice (once on a freeway) being in a friends car,
wishing forever this summer to go to the beach and thinking the only way that i'll get there is if i drive myself,
and finding out that mom will get me car insurance and a cheap vehicle that won't break and flinstone my ass on the freeway...
I finally FINALLY got my...driver's PERMIT today...which means I can very soon say that I've driven a real vehicle (and not autopia at disneyland), and further sooner (hopefully, luckily) say that I can drive...to the beach, to the getty museum, to wherever with whomever, whenever.

hi samantha! (from 2006)
The photo just reminds me of fun and silliness, and home, and summer.
I'm home now. Feels awkward and weird, and in some ways quite anti-climactic. Is it completely whack of me to say that I like sitting and waiting at airports, and sleeping, reading, and being on airplanes? There's something about not being stationary and permanently settled that excites me. I realized once I get home, the excitement of being home wears off, or once I get back to school, that the anticipation of being there is gone. I have a somewhat love/hate relationship with the way in which I'm so secretely "emo" (a term that I really hate, but the connotation fits so perfectly here). I find it kind of fun to think about WHY it is I feel a certain way. In this case, why I like traveling and being on planes. It's like when you're 38,000 feet above civilization, that you're kind of no longer a part of it, yet still are with all the entertainment, and portable devices and all (not to mention crying fuckin babies). I like window seats-- all you see are clouds and greenery, and dots. Jungle green, and deserted beautiful places with waterfalls. Some kind of rainforesty type-thing in an exotic places. Except it's Kansas, or Missouri, or Mississippi, or even New Mexico. Then you can appreicate these random states, except half the time they're just formed from your imagination. I hate landing, especially when retards cheer.
I woke up 9AM today. I wanted to get a job. I went job hunting and walked into Buster's, and walked out. Places like Kaldi's and Buster's only hire hipsters who don't shave and live in plaid shirts.
Moved onto Old Town-- so deserted! Filled out several applications, and got hired (unofficially, since the documents have to be approved) but the job that I most wanted out of all-- Le Pain Quotidian. I'm in love with that place. Probably training tomorrow. French bread, and french desert, and french food names, and classical music. I could just die there, and I'm going to. And a co-worker's from New York. Most things are vegan (they have great vegan soups!) but super environmentally-conscious (utensils are not made from plastic! but some kind of melted syrup???) ANYWAYS, more when I actually work there. Friends from the area-- come visit!

Friday night, I went to go see Hot Chip with Toni at Webster Hall. The show was really good but we left halfway into the show because I just wasn't feeling very well. I've been so sick, it's really hard to describe everything I've been through. I've been to the health office twice, skipped four french classes aand plenty others, and basically have been coughing like "all my organs are going to come flying out" (according to Rachel). End of second semester is not so great for me. Seriously.
On the upside, the weather has been so beautiful lately. I know I was the girl in high school who loved rain and foggy weather, and I still do, but only in moderation. It was so nice to see the sun again, felt like home really. Been wearing skirts everyday! This weekend was so beautiful when I was out (I get really depressed when I'm in my room, somehow my room does that).
Saturday I went to Central Park with Allie Leach and we had a picnic and played frisbee. There were two wild birds that just kept wanting to eat me, so that was not fun. Other than that, the sun got so bright, I had to take out my shades. Never had to do that in new york. Afterwards, I met up with Ashley, Brittany and Dana to attend a Dance performance at Barnard/Columbia. I dont think dance made me laugh so hard. It was really good, then we wandered Columbia. I really miss it a lot. We had cupcakes again at Bum park, and this time, it really was bum park. Some sketch dude, obvious not a bum, asked Brittany for money. Just to make him go away, Brittany gave him $2. Only at bum park.
Sunday, had sunday brunch with Britt, Dana, and Allie. Had too much food. Thats all I remember.
Monday, Samantha Batman came to visit me. It was really nice to see her. We spent a day just walking around the village. We had lunch and smoothies and cupcakes, and it was beautiful.
...and this morning I did a French presentation on Serge Gainsbourg. I still can't believe this is the last week of class. I'm going to miss this semester's classes so much.
