Machinedance's Journals

i just dont get it, no matter how hard i try

i'm not taking a photo of another "xxxxscene x girl x modelxxx xx xxx" ever, ya'll retarded. seriously.

i'm taking what i do in a new direction.

geek

I recently got some rollerblades (spare me the criticism, I already got it from Atilla's beau!)
but they have been great!
Josh and I are bringing home our Boston Terrier puppy on September 18th
so I wanted something more energetic than a walk to burn her energy, so I got some sweet blades!
My other dog is an Alaskan Malamute/German Shepherd mix- so her instinct is to barrel down the road like her life depends on it! so what better than to put some wheels on my feet & have her pull me!
she LOVES it!!

anyway- so the point of that back story was to say that for the first time since I was 13-
I fell (while blading) and skinned my knee!
i forgot how irritating it is- the constant burning sensation!
i definitely pulled a Peter Griffin- (you have to be completely obsessed with Family Guy to be able to look back on that episode, hehe!)
but moving on,
everytime i look down at my skinned knee I feel sort of proud of my wound!
next step is to wear skirts for the rest of the week & tell everyone my dumb story!

yay i'm a geek!

good things

i am now an official college graduate,
with a 'bachelors in fine arts' to put on my resume.
we are going to see the Cure for the second time tomorrow,
my 22nd birthday is coming up.
& i will be in europe for a month in the blink of an eye!
when i get back i'll be a fulltime assistant manager at hot topic
so i can save up to move to another city for that dream job everyone wants!

now lets hope my kitty gets better & my fridge fixes itself so i can have food when i get back. hehe.

lonesome

My boything is visiting friends in northern virginia,
so i came home from work to an empty house.
i thought to myself i was going to get so much done.
for instance, i was going to finally finish the vocals to Endless Winter's song "lonesome"
& finish editing the "space girl" pics.
but then i somehow didn't get any of it done
& now I'm retreating to an empty bed :(

i wish it would snow.

in addition

in addition to Atilla's post on classic fashion icons,

Jean Harlow

Lauren Bacall

Norma Shearer

& the photographer who coined the word glamour in photography,
George Hurrel.

dreary rainy day

it's one of those days that I absolutely love-
but it's not a day in which i love to go to work.
I cant bring myself to getting up & fixing myself for work.

it's just come to my attention, the business of originality.
i need to give my two cents,
because there is a young girl on this website harassing me-
questioning my gender & accusing me of lacking originality
& taking certain aspects of my aesthetic from others.
To this I say, bah!
To let you know, I have no problem with copying others,
it's the best way to grow-
& for anyone having a problem with taking inspiration from anyone else,
than I say to you, grow up & educate yourself!
It's one thing to see something & to immulate it exactly
but the whole basis of society is built on immulation.
Taking ideas from other ideas & creating better ones.
so if you'd like to accuse me of copying Jeffree Star,
than so be it!
Just don't claim him or anyone else of being original.

With that being said, everyone should go look up books on postmodern society
& read theory on this subject, it is enlightening.
If anyone is interested I can give authors to research.

I hope everyone has a good day!
My mom tells me that it is purrfect weather in florida!
