usually my ideas come with rapid spewing of words and how we can get the motion in the ocean to go ahead with the said idea. it's usually messy. in typical virgo fashion i give up half way when i'm not satisfied with the results but this time, i think, i've decided to go ahead and put my idea on paper... or the internet.
if you're like me, maybe you're not like me actually. i'm sure most of you aren't emotional, 5'nothing, 23-year-old girls who are frustrated with where they are in life (at times), still fight with their parents (at times) and hardly ever watch television (all the time). but any who, i'm sure a lot of you out there on the other side of your computers have an instagram account. i do. i love instagram. i love editing my photos and posting them and seeing my phone light up and i receive comments and notifications of likes. is this vain of me? who cares. i'm sure you're all nodding your heads in agreement.
like i stated before, i'm not a typical 23-year-old girl/lady/women. i did the whole college thing differently then most people have. i've never done a keg stand or a beer funnel or an ice luge... you're welcome parents. i've never pulled an all-nighter to study for a class or test, frankly because i believed in getting all my work done as soon and it was assigned. weird, i know. but now with only two classes left in my college career, i've become just that. a procrastinator. as i type this i have a discussion, journal, and test due on islam and a bunch of photography homework. but that can all wait because of this idea.
while i was making a vegan-african-peanut-stew last night, my boyfriends wonderful mother whom i love like my own, said to me, "do you know why i love you, stephanie? i love you for a multitude of reasons. i love you because you try to make every day special." i immediately looked at the floor and blushed like a possum and said, "thank you eileen". if it's one thing about my boyfriends family, dang they give some pretty creative compliments. i think what made me really fall in love with bryan was when he told me that he, "loved the loyalty that i had to my family." he didn't compliment my hair or my outfit or scoff at the fact that i've never seen half the movies that the general population obsesses over. he just gave me a genuine, true compliment. and i was swoon city.
i thought about what eileen said all night. i realized that i have a tendency to write off what people say is good about me, typical virgo habit, again. but i really soaked this one in. i do try to make everyday special because frankly i think that i'd go insane if everyday was the same. that's when i had this idea. i'd capture a photo with my beloved iphone and post it to this blog every single day. i'd make a virtual documentary of what was special to me about wednesday october 10th, 2012.
so for the first entry i have this picture:
that's me. at work. wearing a turquoise belt. conveniently hiding a coffee stain that i had gotten seconds prior. i'm laughing at bryan, who can't sit down while he's on the phone. he had a stressful morning with the band that he manages, shameless self promotion here: http://www.thelawsuitsband.com. and i was just laughing at him getting his steps around the sidewalk outside of the cafe. i call him, "the coach" because a manager sounds like you manage foot locker or something. he does much more. no offense to any foot locker employees that may be reading this. i went to a foot locker once to buy a live strong band.
anyway, i hope you stick around. some pictures with be happy some will be sad, regardless they will be interesting and always have a story behind them.
xoxo,
stephanie.
