oh man! thank you for all the birthday wishes. i hope to return comments but no promises that i'll get it all covered.

my birthday went a little like this:
6 am.
me: GUESS WHAT DAY IT IS?
uproot: your birthday! [by this time, he was tired of the birthday countdown. just a bit. i started it on sept. 1]

morning:
spent lazing around. it was glorious! i chatted with a bunch of friends + birthday twins, did a face mask, had a nice long shower.

afternoon:
walked to the store for a horchata pop. it was sooo drippy, i could barely slurp it all on the way home. got a package from my mom. just about cried, but in a happy way.

evening:
had a long, happy chat with my mom. played animal crossing + harvest moon (oh yeah, i got a gamecube last weekend! yesss! it replaces one my mom took over. i am a good daughter) and went to dinner at pokez. then i went to bed early.

i had a wonderful birthday!! i'm always sad that it's just one day, though.

also: thank you SO SO SO much to everyone who donated to charities for my birthday! i think 6 of you participated? that makes me feel so good and i'm making up your gift packages!

♥ i have good news and bad news. here is the good:

i'm in a magazine this month! it's a newish gay lifestyle mag here in san diego. the pictures are kind of hilarious! they are pretty cheeseball. the shoot was really fun and i should be working with them again sometime! i know the pics are small; i snagged them off the magazine's myspace rather than scan them. also, i think i look nothing like myself.

the bad news:

i had a set rejected! it was shot by cherry in jan/feb (i forget which...how embarassing!) and it was really fun. linds was there with us and helped me out by rubbing cheap cooking spray on me. GROSS! redmess did my makeup and i am grateful to her! she made me look great.

cherry was super great to shoot with and we were kind of going for a theme of 'crazy drug bender' and i'm really happy with the way the set came out. it was definitely odd working with someone other than lavonne for a shoot! as you may know, i had 2 sets rejected before i went pink, but since then it's been pure lavonne! it was nice to change it up a bit, though i can't wait to shoot with lavonne again. i'll see her in dec. so i have to think up a really good theme to work on.

i have to say, though: it sucks getting a set rejected but i'm not upset or butthurt about it. it's just kind of a bummer.

anyway here are my favourite photos from the set. click here for the whole thing. i'd love for it to go up on scs, or if you guys have any constructive criticism i'd love to hear it. if you think it's great, i'd love to hear that too!

♥ i am laying in bed to type this. it is really great. i'm wearing my new comfy sweater and thinking of the pizza + cookie dough in the fridge. i should really get up and eat soon...
