merry christmas. this is me as a tiny tot on christmas.

peace, love, and christmas spirit

much has happened. i had not been able to attend doms wake two weeks ago but i'm really pleased that andrew w.k. did. it's what dom had wanted, so with emails from myself and his other friends we made it happen. i did however attend the funeral the next day. the weather was quite fitting. grey and depressing :( i'm glad to be back in touch with angela but not that it happened this way.

i made some christmas cards or rather... christmas doilies. it's christmas eve and i still haven't sent them out, i figure late christmas cards are a nice pleasant surprise after all the gifts and crap have been exchanged. here are a few..

this is the headband i wore to work today. being the life of the party and bringing peace, love, and christmas spirit.

time to go wrap a billion presents.

christmas tree in a box

my laptop came yesterday! it was completely wiped out which is a semi-bummer but it's neat starting fresh. last night was my last evening at the nursing home and i'm glad for that. one of the residents has this christmas tree in a box on her window sill and i think it's just adorable!
my first beauty school class is tomorrow night! ok time to go back to christmas specials on the boob tube.

sweet dreams forever dominic

today was our first snow and i made a little playlist of some of my favorite holiday songs. i'll be adding to it.

happy christmas

on a darker note, while at charlies friday night i received news that a friend had just passed away from a brain aneurysm. dominic owen mallary, best known as dom. it came as a huge shock, out of nowhere! and although my evening was decent, it really hit me once i was alone and heading home. i hadn't seen or talked to him in a very long time but i have good memories of him and his amazing, kind, entertaining, caring presence and it hurt very much. mine and dom's friend johnny mac came up from richmond virginia. we celebrated doms life last night at johnny's moms house, only a stones throw from mine. it takes me about 2 or 3 minutes to walk there, 1 to run. saw a lot of old faces that had drifted away. it was depressing but really great to be able to all be together. my heart goes out to dominic's girlfriend angela "spoon". who is also unfortunately a friend i've lost touch with but still care greatly about. there are just far too many good people i've had great memories with that have drifted. drift back, i'm here.

yeah, ok cupid

i joined some online dating website(okcupid.com) because my friend jessica told me there were hot babes on there... and i have yet to see any actual hot babes. it's kind of a funny site though. people can see when you look at them and then they message you right away, and some of them use such cheesy lines. one of my other friends torrie is on there and we exchange stories about it all day long because we've become addicted, and we love texting eachother all day long! i'm actually just surfing the net at the nursing home right now waiting to get out of here and get together with her to head to our favorite bar in cambridge.. CHARLIES! which is our usual every weekend hangout. after tonight though i think i'm going to cut back on going out. i start hair school next wednesday and will be working less. so excited/nervous! i can't wait to get my almost 700 dollar kit and go through it with all the different supplies i'll need and mannequin heads and whatnot. the whole unlucky streak sort of isn't over yet which is quite a bummer but i'm getting through it. my laptop should be arriving all fixed and good as new via fedex by december 10th. i'm very much looking forward to that as i havn't been able to use it in almost a month now. i've been collecting addresses and getting ready to make christmas cards out of vintage winter/xmas graphics and doilies and probably lots of glitter and other fancy whatnots! maybe i'll spend a quiet night in with a christmas special or movie tomorrow and start on that then. i'll post pics when i'm done! so yes browsing the net..
i just signed up for a free 10 issue subscription of nylon magazine at urban outfitters website. this is how i received my current subscription last year. i suggest jumping on that bandwagon before supplies run out!! also i love these items from the site..

i don't usually like hats and i'm not sure how i feel about this one either but for right now i'm kinda diggin' it. and i love bows.

not that i need a new purse.. and the one i have right now is so similar to this one if i got it my friends would just think i bought the same purse i have now in a different color. mine is a pearly color and when it opens it look like a clam shell opening, so they call it the clam purse haha.

this is a real cute speaker system for an ipod.. the ones i have right now are pretty cute but very small. eco-speakers. and these are them..

i really like this cardboard ipod boom box but the speakers are about the same size as the ones i have.. it's cute though.. and a cheaper way to do the whole old fashioned boom box thing haha.

alright time to go lock things up, shut down the workputer, and get ready for charlies. TTYL
