In A Funk

Ever get the funk? Ya know when you don't know if you're coming or going? Just in a WEIRD mood I guess. I'm sorry I haven't been reading:posting on your stuff Blogger friends. Again, in the funk. Doesn't help that it has been super cold here in Detroit....and has been raining lots too. Yeah, after an insanely humid summer too. That never helps with the funk.

But on the BRIGHT side, my car LIVES. How? I don't know. It doesn't seem to want to die yet. And hey, I appreciate that so much Sally {my car}!

Also I dyed my hair. That made me happy. It's pretty dark now. Was red for such a long time. So within the past several months I started dyeing it darker & darker brown. Then finally went to "soft black" this week. I like it. I always wanted really dark hair. Just was a bit afraid to take the plunge. But happy with the results.

Anyhow I should go. Time for bed. Hope you're all doing good. Hope you're not in a funk. The funk is never fun...but it happens. Can't really control it sometimes. Talk soon!

Just Been Feeling....

....worried, anxious, blah.
A big part is cuz I'm pretty sure my car is dead.
Just need to sign its death certificate tomorrow.
Maybe.
Has to get towed out of my driveway.
Then goes to the shop.

I always think the worst but my car is super old so yeah, errgh.
I almost want it to be dead so there won't be anymore problems with it.
But I will be car less and...
well, I need a car for the crap I do.
But I do hate driving most the times....
people suck on the roads.
And I drive everyone!
So taking this break feels kinda good.

Plus, I haven't been dealing with this change in weather (now fall)...
and how it is getting so dark so early.
And the time change hasn't even happened...
it's this weekend!
And it just loves to rain lately.
Really? It's fall, not spring.
Stop raining here, thanks!

Other things have been happening too.
Some good, some weird.
Good is...
somehow I found a new direction with my art.
And I'm going to follow it.
I liked it and then I showed people close to me.
And they liked it...so I feel good about that.
Met some new people, that's always good.

Bad is....
well,
when you can't even describe how you're feeling.
Ever have that?
Well, I DO feel like a change is in order.
It would probably make the "unfeeling" go away.
Maybe.
Kinda feels like a lot is changing.
Or about to change.
And I'm not so good with change...
or a lot of things going on at once...
that are out of my control.
I just need to focus on what needs to be done.

Yikes...
It is SO late.
That is another problem.
I have been up super late for the past several nights.
But I feel like I'm getting all my energy at night.
Again, it's the (almost) change in time & weather.
I think.

Sorry this post is WEIRD.
But I'm feeling weird.
So there ya go.

One of those lazy days

Ever have one of those really really really lazy days? Where you just want to stay home and relax and lounge around? That's what I want to do today but (ugh) I gotta be at work at 4 pm. I've just been listening to Dead Man's Bones (post below) pretty non-stop since I heard the album was streaming on MySpace yesterday. I think it's probably my favorite album of 2009 at this point. I've never heard anything quite like it. And it's just haunting, rockin', and awesome. Ryan's voice is great...as is the children's choir. Good stuff.

OK, below is some pics of a handheld battery-operated fan. Took 'em all in the dark (night time mode on my camera). Liked how they came out. Ok, going back to my laziness. Enjoy the pics and take care. (Oh and don't forget the giveaway...I'm going to probably say it 10 more times before it's over, so prepare yourself for much repeated-ness. Sorry but I got to spread the word!)

^_^

How do you feel today? I feel ___

Yes, BITCHY. Not towards any of you. Just in general. My day was alright. Even got super happy and excited for the new Skelanimals stuff for Halloween at TARGET...but then I came home and...blah. Ever get to a point with someone (friend, family member, etc...) where you've just TRIED all you can???...and just feel like giving up on the person cuz it's so...irritating!??! You know, where there's way too much GIVE GIVE GIVE and the person never gives back? This is something I find happening all too often and it never gets easier...just more annoying. Sorry, this is my rant of the week...but I'm frustrated with certain people in my life.

I am meeting really cool new people lately...and I would just rather give my time to them...since they seem to appreciate it (and me) more. I know people change...and you either change with them or stay the way you are (and accept the person's change too). Well, I'm not ready to change so...and if they can't accept it, then that's really not my problem, right? Hm....

I just do not get it when people make you wait and wait and wait. That is my worst pet peeve-I can't stand waiting...just left wondering What the hell happened?!? And as a result that makes me BITCHY...as I am now. Sometimes it's just time to move on. I am realizing this slowly but surely. I think I met these new people for a reason...so I'm just going to go with the flow.

Take care...and hope you're not feeling bitchy. Hope you're feeling FABULOUS. I think I'll feel better tomorrow...I'll be seeing my mom and she's the bestest! Adios~

Have a nice holiday weekend (US friends)

Hi friends. It's Friday and the start of the weekend. And the start of the Labor Day (holiday) weekend for my US friends/followers. I hope you have a good time...whatever you'll be doing.

Me, hm...all I know is 1-there's a birthday party for one of my boyfriend's nieces...and 2-there's a concert I may be going to on Sunday. I say "may" because I'm still unsure if I'll be going to it...sadly, it is in a part of downtown that isn't so...good...So I really wouldn't like to drive down there alone. And my friend (Jenny) feels the same BUT if we are together downtown, I'd feel a lot better...and I've been there before. Just not alone. So I hope to go but we'll see...as you can see it's a bit complicated.

OH that picture above! Well, it's on my fridge (got it from TARGET, woohoo) and it's magnetic. And so I choose my mood every day (though I sometimes feel more than one of those moods in a day...right, ladies?). What mood do you feel today??? I chose (well, for RIGHT now)...



...INDIFFERENT. I actually choose this one quite often. I'm not unhappy...just...indifferent. ;)

Hope you enjoy your weekend everyone...and thanks again for reading my self indulgent interview below. Means a lot to me. Take care~Eve, XoX
