'for a long time it seemed to me that
life was about to begin - real life.
but there was always some obstacle
in the way, something to be gotten
through first, some unfinished
business, time still to be served,
a debt to be paid. at last it dawned
on me that these obstacles were my
life. this perspective has helped me
to see there is no way to happiness.
happiness is the way. so treasure
every moment you have and
remember that time waits for no one.

happiness is a journey,
not a destination'

this makes me want to throw away (and I use throw away lightly) some of the money I was planning on saving for paying off loans on a camera of unbelievable proportions so I can take pictures that might begin to look like these.

also, who knew a happy moment could be found in looking at amazing pictures, eating a surprise bag of skittles, and listening to jimi hendrix.
if I could bottle today up, I would title it happy.

I just finished my chocolate showpiece this evening and I'm very very proud of it. I got the only perfect grade which I am very proud of.
It was inspired by the Threadless shirt Insomnia
Chef told me it was one of the more creative themes she has ever had.
So I give to you:
Counting Cheep

the cheeps lining up for battle (or attachment) they were also waiting on the irises for their eyes, so they look a wee bit sinister. but they're so fluffy looking! awe. cheep.

the final product, if you look closely you'll see the tick marks on the side of the hill where the counting is actually taking place. and that's an alarm clock and the moon. and the cheep army climbing up the hill.

the back of Counting Cheep. Notice the escape cheep hiding in the back (under the stars). He's also munching on some tick marks. It's hard to see with the dk choc. on dk choc.

cheep says *num, num, tick marks*

sorry that I'm 5 years old, I'm just very very pleased with the cuteness of my project.

Will I ever get to where I am going?
If I do, will I know when I'm there?
If the wind blew me in the right direction
Yeah, would I even care?
I would

You are The Star


Hope, expectation, Bright promises.


The Star is one of the great cards of faith, dreams realised


The Star is a card that looks to the future. It does not predict any immediate or powerful change, but it does predict hope and healing. This card suggests clarity of vision, spiritual insight. And, most importantly, that unexpected help will be coming, with water to quench your thirst, with a guiding light to the future. They might say you're a dreamer, but you're not the only one.


What Tarot Card are You?
Take the Test to Find Out.

navissi has inspired me to hold a competition.
a few posts ago he made the following comment on a post of mine:

"that was more emo than a tattoo of a dashboard confessional cd cutting its wrists"

which brings me to the competition.
I think I'll call it an emo-off. You comment your best "that was more emo than..." and on Friday or someday, I will pick my favorite.
limit like 3 per person. I don't want thai or jason going overboard.
(alex your previous one counts as an entry, but not as one of your 3.)

so have fun.
and the grand prize will be a pretty new razor blade. (so you can carve your soul out.)

Current Mood:
