Lady Gaga, You Break My Pandora

Poor Pandora internet radio just can't tell what to do with Lady Gaga. As expected, it's given me Rhianna, Justin Timberlake, and Brittany Spears. I've also been played Jack Johnson, Journey, Frank Sinatra, The Scorpions, Gary Jules' "Mad World," Kansas' "Dust in the Wind," and Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody." Pandora, you make me lol. Lady Gaga, you make me double-take.

Time Capsule: Inception

A brief snapshot of life on the birth of my blog to look back to:

Not so great

• Ruined a potentially wonderful relationship with a man who cares about me
• Struggling to sustain a friendship with a boy I make uncomfortable because we didn't make it
• Just finishing up my first period off birth control after a full year of various prescriptions
• Unhappy with my living situation
• Don't know if I can afford the schooling I want
• My feet are cold because I am not wearing pants or socks

Looking forward to

• Kindling the flames of new friendships and old (I have more friends now than I ever have!)
• A bazaar this Saturday, the producer of which told me that I am more than welcome to consign my works in her kitschy shop
• BFA in metals and fibers (enthusiasm from my professors a year before I have to apply!)
• Internship next fall with Goldworks
• This summer's escapades
• My Skype date with the parents (for the three years since I've lived on my own we've talked once a month on average; this week I've instituted a weekly Skype get-together and Dad is thoroughly excited yay!)
• Putting the space heater on my feet
• Living with new perspectives

A Bit on Blogs

For the longest time, I've been fed a stigma against blogs. When my friends first discovered them, all they did was act catty online while they smiled at each other in person. My parents (very influential to me, being an only child) have always been wary of information sharing. Now that I'm out of the house with a whole new crowd, I'm curious. A few very influential people in my life blog, and I have to admit that I'm emulating them by starting one. I struggle to define the line between public and private space. My blogging fear is that the postings will become a public diary. That is not my intent. I want to create a space where I can update my family and friends on what is going on in my life, a space where I can share what I'm making, a space where I can watch myself expand and share my lolz. Welcome to my life.
