The Date

Last night I went on my first REAL date!!!! I asked him out however. Curious how??? Well, I am going to tell you. On Saturday night this kid from my work experience came to Rocky Horror Picture Show at my theatre. Since I am in the host of Rocky Horror, I have to tell people what they can have and what they can't in the theatre before the movie starts. I went up there and told all of the audience that they can't have water guns because we want to keep nice screens and they can't have fire because for some reason AMC doesn't want us to burn the building down. Then, I said, "Warren, will you go on a date with me?" He said yes! I was so excited at everyone cheered as I walked up the aisle to go out of the theatre. I was blushing so much! He eventually came out and said that he was trying to find a way to ask me out. That made me happy to hear that. This moment completely made my day!
During class, we decided that the date was going to be Tuesday night at 3 Margaritas in Loveland at 6. He was EARLY! Which is a huge brownie point for him in my book. When we walked up to the front door of the restaurant, he HELD THE DOOR for me when I walked in. We got our seats and then looked at the menu. I got the Colorado Burrito and he got a chicken burrito. Mine was delicious! We talked and I thought that I paced myself on the burrito but our date only lasted 30 minutes tops. Not sure how that happened. It was wonderful none the less though.

The DATE!!!

I hope everyone had a fantastic Halloween weekend! I was hosting Rocky Horror Picture Show Friday night, Saturday night, worked Sunday, and hosted again Monday night. Not going to lie, I did freak out and have a mental break down. I sort of ruined the experience for a few of my co-workers. I am very sorry for that Sam, Shane, and Chelsea. At least I got some of the trees cleaned up from the heavy ass snow!
However, the best part of my weekend was when I asked out this kid named Warren! I sit next to him in my work experience class and we occasionally talk to each other, however, he has shown up to Rocky Horror the last few time which I think is pretty amazing. Warren is an IB kid (in a super smart advanced learning experience) and plays a lot of video games so I hope we find something in common except for Rocky Horror. I am slightly worried that the date will be awkward. Maybe it will be good awkward.... Anyways, I am super excited about it. It is at Three Margaritas! I haven't been there in forever! Plus, I think that was the same place that my step dad and mom had their first date together and they are the happiest couple I know. Maybe it will work out in our favor. Only time will tell!
I hope everyone's Halloween was safe and enjoyable! Have a wonderful day!

ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW

These are some of the pictures I took at the showing of Rocky Horror Picture Show at my theatre on Friday night. This first picture is of the back row that we had blocked off with caution tape so that we could put the laser lights and strobe lights back there. We ended up having to get rid of those because we sold so many tickets we needed those seats.This is the up-close picture of the goodies that we provided to the Party crew. We had toast, newspaper, toilet paper, glow sticks, party blow horns, and rice. The props were gone fairly fast.
This is the end of the hallway with all of the props on the table.

This is the sign that hangs between the two doors to the theatre. Enter at your own risk!!!

Here is Shane standing next to the wall with all of the character portraits on it. This month was supposed to be Steampunk themed so Shane made cardboard gears that he hung from the ceiling in the shape of an arrow directed towards the theatre where Rocky Horror was playing. They looked great!

This is the sign that I bought online for my theatre to hang in the window during the nights of Rocky Horror Picture Show. I think that it looks pretty awesome!

Fix the Broken

I have been thinking about my life as a whole. So far, it is not going how I want it to. But really, who is to blame but myself? Absolutely no one. I think I need to look at my life and edit some things and add others. Do I really need so many collections? No. Are they making me really happy? No. Is my dad really, truly happy? No. Do I want to follow in his path or learn from his examples? Learn from his examples. For most of my life, I have been very dead set on having a boyfriend to spend my time with. Now that I have been single, I am finding out how much I enjoy having other's company and miss being in a relationship. But really what am I looking for in this relationship? Am I looking for someone that will replace my dad when he is gone? Yes. Is that wrong? No. I need to find someone with the qualities I admire in my dad yet have something else going for them. I need to branch out of my 'safety zone' that I have created.
Now tell me, is finding someone online really all that bad? My mom met my stepdad online and they are PERFECT for each other. I think we have just become a society that is afraid of what the internet can make people do as well as disguise what they have done. People lie to your face anyways. I think that people are truthfully more of themselves online than they are in person. It is decided, I am going to move to Australia to go to college. I am going to make something of myself. I am going to reinvent my image of myself. I don't especially care what anyone thinks of this idea because in the end, I will do what I want, and life really is about doing things for yourself. Just watch me everyone!!

It is Beginning to look a lot like HALLOWEEN!

The stores are filled with pumpkins, corn, orange and brown leaves, piled ontop of displays and shelves. This year marks the year anniversary of my theatre showing Rocky Horror Picture Show! This year we have some goodies planned for everyone that shows up. It is going to be a blast for sure!!! This month's theme is Steampunk so grab your goggles, polish your gears, and tighten your corsets and head out to the show. The tickets are only $3 so buy them before we run out. The festivites start at around 10 pm so get there early and make sure to participate. We will be having a pumpkin painting contest, a Rocky Horror Trivia, and a costume contest. Be there or be square.

Well anyways, what plans do all of you have for the fall season?? Are you making any carmeled apples, or carving pumpkins? How about having a Halloween party and dressing up? Let me know! I hope everyone is having a spectacular day!

Just a bit of Happiness

I have set the table for me and you. We will at lunch on a Sunday afternoon at two. Don't be late because that will make me said. Bring art and I will be glad!

Lately I have been buying lots of dishes and glassware at thrift stores around town. Some of my latest aquirements would be the vintage aluminum cake pan that has a wooden acorn knob with acorn detailing around the side of it. It is quite cute! I have also been trying to find vintage fine china pieces to add to my collection for when I move out. Recently, I have gotten little berry bowls with the tiniest floral print around the edge. I have also been finding some of the smaller plates. My favorite pattern so far would be the Crown Victoria Lovelace pattern. The slight white lace pattern on top of a white plate adds that bit of sweetness we all need in our lives. I went to the McKee Thrift Store in Downtown Loveland a few days ago, and found a beautiful serving plate and serving dish for just $3! What a steal!



My school held an art show on April 3oth which featured a lot of my art that I have created this school year. In just this year, I have taken Metalsmithing I, Drawing I, Drawing II, and Sculpture I. I was bound to have something in the art show. The pictures below are some of my favorite pages of the altered book I created in Drawing II.

This page has scrapbooking paper, lace, and a silk flower on it and was left blank so that I could draw or right on it.

This page has a foreshortened drawing assignment cut and pasted onto the page. The man and women are drawn with Prismacolors. If you want to add color to your life, Prismacolors are a great way to do that. They are so vibrate and bold, they can turn a boring piece of art into something amazing!

This page is the last page in the book. The yellow page is a two inch deep cut out with a quote in one of the last pages of The Great Gatsby.

The man that was featured on the original page looked like the 'boring man' in The Rocky Horror Picture Show. I decided I would take advantage of that and create a page devoted to just that.

This is a drawing I did in Drawing II that was about the communication between the alive and the dead. I created this drawing in one night. The night before it was due actually.

I did this drawing in Drawing I which is The Rocky Horror Picture Show. This drawing probably took me the longest out of them all.

February Was Wonderful!

Quite a few important things happened during the month of February! I want to thank everyone that has made all of the exciting events possible.
One of my managers at work made me the cutest cake ever for my birthday! Since I worked on my birthday, she brought the cake to work and I shared it with the rest of my coworkers. That night, I was working Rocky Horror Picture Show as the host. I dressed up as Magenta and that is the reason there is an "m" on the cake rather than a "k".

On my birthday, I went to my dad's house in the morning in made homemade donuts. That is one of my favorite things that my dad and I do together. They turned out great!!!

A week or so before I turned 17, my mom finally let me get the tattoo that I have wanted for around three years now. My tattoo is of Johnny Schou's signature. Johnny Schou is the bassist from Tickle Me Pink that passed away. The tattoo was done by Toby Wallace at Tobi's Tattoo Studio. Sean, the lead singer of Tickle Me Pink, actually prepped me for the tat.
