But now im stuck with a goofy grin and an interesting makeup job ;)

T minus 6 days and ill be moving back to LA into my new house!!! Its gonna be a stress filled week this week though b/c i finals for my summer classes that i need to start studying for asap, gotta say goodbye to anyone + everyone in this state, and somehow manage to pack all my clothes, shoes, etc into no more than 3/4 suitcases and then i will ready to jet set at 4 am on saturday morning in order to get back in time for a meeting at my work and then that night sit green-room at the hellogoodbye concert which should be fun if i can stay awake (hello energy drinks galore).

On top of all that I have to move into my new house before I start my fall semester classes that monday (yes my summer break will only be a whopping 2 days). Thankfully my amazing roommates already went to my storage place and took ALL of my boxes + boxes of random stuff out for me, set up my bed + furniture, moved my car from its storage lot + unloaded it, and so on and so forth. I honestly dont know if I would be alive without them, they are seriously responsible for my survival during the past 2 years...whether listening to me bitch about stuff for hours, making sure i get places i need to be, or saving my ass from many many sticky situations they take care of me like my mom had to when i was 2 haha. All-in-all though, m soooo excited to move in though. 1 house, 4 boys, and me. Its gonna be quite the experience for all of us and there is going to be far too much testosterone in my life. Enough said.

So i cant decide which text one of my roommates sent me the other day is worse...you decide:

1) 'I think we might have a roach problem already.'

2) 'Someone broke into your car...and they left a scewdriver jammed in your door'

I basically wanted to cry after reading both of those but being 2000 miles away from those problems there is nothing I can really do but shrug my shoulders and say 'oh well.' Ive realized that getting all upset about things like that is absolutely pointless...sometimes life sucks but might as just play along and laugh back at it.

So I did a photoshoot for Pure Imagination Clothing last weekend...the shoot took like 5 hours but was super fun so i didnt even mind. We shot down-town on the freeways and such so it became a game of run onto the road when stoplight turns red, pose + snap some photos, dodge the oncoming cars, wait pateiently on the side and then repeat. I havent seen the results yet but they should turn out really good after seeing the designer's other work. He does amazing graphic designs and is turning all the promotional and catalog photos that we took into these superhero comic-book character style type art.)Apparently my character is the bad-ass car-jacker...how fitting ;]

I also did an all-day shoot yesterday with a photography team in their studio. I felt really groggy the whole day but hopefully i dont look it in the photos! I wont get to see those final prints for a good month though cuz they are apparently super backed up in post-processing but Ill post everything once I get it from them :] 

Had an absolutely amazing night last night with an old friend i missed far too much that lasted until the sun came up this morning which has left me worn + exhausted so now its time to read for an hour or so + hit the hay.

According to prophecy, I live in a quasi-autobiography of make-belief and myth.
