On my way home last night, I stopped by the Japanese market. I was hoping to find something I could do when I got home. The last time I went there I bought an origami pack of bugs, and wanted to see if they had anymore I could try out. I found a new pack, bought a stick of glue, a pair of scissors, and headed home. Once I got home I started on my bugs, and didn’t stop until about midnight. Here’s my origami bug collection…
I think all of these bugs are suppose to be some sort of beetle, but I’m not sure. The two on the wall look like like they may not beetles but, what do I know about the world of origami bugs. You can’t tell, but the one on my monitor has some crazy pincers. That one was the hardest to fold.
The two beetles on my desk are my favorite in the whole group. I recognize the biggest one, it is called a Hercules beetle. Unfortunately, I don’t know the name of the other bug. Its all good though, in the end it was some good therapy for me to sit at home and fold till my fingers felt arthritic : )
I miss you girl…Don’t let NY beat you down.
It has definitely been awhile since I have done something crazy with myself. This is the second stage of my redefinition. The first round was a correction of a mistake. On a whim, I decided to chop off all my hair and go nutz. The lady who cut my hair gave me this ridiculous emo cut, which of course I felt I could fix on my own. I did an okay job, but definitely wasn’t what I was hoping for. Here’s a shot of the first phase…
Here is my second phase. My girl Ae fixed my hair and we decided to do some color with it. I love Ae, she is amazing! She definitely helped me reach what I was hoping for in this look.
For months I have let my car go. It has gotten to the point where Brutus avoid getting in it. Well, today I have finally reached my breaking point. Why it got to this, I still ask myself. But now it us clean. Ugh…
I have officially been 30 years old for 8 days now, and I have been doing a lot of thinking. Let me tell you I have discovered something in the last night about being 30…it is totally just a number. Last night I was as reckless as a 22 year old with my drinking. I didn’t know when to stop like a 21 year old, and I puked my brains out like an 18 year old coming home from a kegger. Not to mention I cried on the toilet like a little 10 year old with a bad stomach ache wishing mommy was there to make it all better. So in reality it would probably be to my advantage to not worry so much about the number and begin acting like an adult. Cause I don’t think I can handle being any other age right now. Haha!
Over the weekend I decided it was time I clean up my room because I have been neglecting it a lot. I have a tendency to over organize things, and what started out as a 30-minute pick up job, turned into a 4 hour project. I started on my closet, first organizing all my clothes by category. Then I broke them down further into sub-categories like, color, usage, material type…needless to say, it got quite involved. Then I said to myself, “Self why stop at your closet? Let’s do the whole room!” So I proceeded to my bathroom, and organized my jewelry drawer, my make-up drawer, and my desk area. I am glad I cleaned up my room because now I feel like it is less chaotic when I’m in there. I do think I did take it a little overboard, but I can say that I now know where everything is in my room.
Here are pictures of my project:

My boyfriend bought me a Nintendo DS for Christmas this year, and I have found a new obsession. I never thought I would love a video game as much as I love Ninjatown. I find myself staying up until about 1:30 in the morning playing this game, trying to pass the levels with high grades. The game is a strategy based game, and I am absolutely horrible at strategy games. But because the damn characters are so freaking cute, I can’t stop playing. I’ve even researched a couple of sites on how to get high grades on each of the levels. My boyfriend has helped me find a couple of them…hehe!

A couple of years ago when my ex-boyfriend left me I went through this “I have to get out and explore the World” phase. I went out and explored a bunch of places, and hung out with different groups of people to help me get my mind off of the break up. In May of 2007, I went on a mud cavern exploration tour with my girlfriend and her husband. Here are some of the pictures from that adventure. It was a blast, and it did what it was suppose to do…got my mind off of things, and made me feel better about me.
My girlfriend, Jennette and I sitting on top of one of the mud mounds:
Here’s a shot I was trying to take to show the hole we crawled out of:
This shot was taken after I had climbed out of the top of a mud cavern:
I was on my mom’s computer tonight and I found pictures of my old cats, Bebe and Dash. Bebe was the first kitty I ever had. My ex-boyfriend rescued him one day after work. He ended up staying with us for almost 4 years. Bebe was the tuxedo (black/white) patterned cat. Dash was a kitty I bought for my ex-boyfriend one year. He was just a little kitty when I bought him. This kitty was the special kitty cause he had been through so much. When he was just about 15 weeks old he got into a fight with Bebe and broke his arm. The break was a high break, and was very expensive to take care of. Besides the terrible injury he endured, he was the sweetest kitty and was very affectionate to anyone he got to know.
Here are a pictures of the two of them in my old condo:
Dash and Bebe being dramatic:
Both Bebe and Dash are no longer with us. When my ex-boyfriend and I broke up they stayed with him in my parent’s old house. Bebe became an outdoor cat, and one day went out and never came home. Dash, unfortunately, ran out the front door and took off. I miss those two very much, and was glad they were my kitties for a little while.
