Empire Identity: July 2011

my existence in eight words

SCARED AS HELL AND HESITANTLY READY TO JUMP

we're going the wrong way aren't we

Well, today was a good day. A hot day...but a good one. A lot of craziness happened. Photographs being taken, outfits being changed out of and into, lugging a huge red bag and purse around the whole day, many food and drink pit stops, and finding a credit card in a bike rental maching only to find out that all the wallet drop offs at every bank were closed (don't worry, we cut it up). It was EXTREMELY hot though, which made it extra necessary to powder my nose (curse you combination skin!). Although, I did have a good time, and I got to see and talk to someone I had seen or talked to in a long time and dearly missed, it may be the last day of July but already the days are getting good. I hope you all had a great and (maybe hot) day, and go enjoy the rest of it!

it feels so decadent

What have I accomplished today? I went and retrieved an application for a job, emailed an important someone, ate a quesadilla, and bought a pair of gorgeous red and white running shoes. All in all, I didn't do much. But you know when you get that feeling that you can't do much one day because the day after will be so overloaded, crazy and unnerving that you must take and enjoy the time now? I sort of had that feeling, I really did, but then another little voice was saying, and still is at 10:10pm, to get out and breathe. Do something. Do anything! Just get out! I advise this to all you imaginary readers. I really do.

marky mark

I kind of laughed when I heard this because...well he's so white. But then I took a good look at him and all I can say is, DAMN!

Enjoy *sly smile*

if you have a moment

"You will forgive me, I hope you don't mind me saying, I just wanted to add, if you've got time and I've said it before and I'll say it again, because you should know, before we go any further, we should put everything on the table because the reality is and the truth is and the fact of the matter is, I shouldn't interrupt but I was wondering and if you know, please tell me, how we manage to say so much, without saying anything at all."

improbable yet probable

I want to be able to post photographs of my outfit, yet I have no one who would be able to take good photographs of my outfits. I don't trust anyone else besides myself with a camera, preferably directed at me. Oh well. I guess I'll have to figure it out...
