I am so sorry that i never sent postcards from europe....the trip was more stessful than i could have imagined, and its like you're never in one place, you're always going and traveling somewhere else, never settled, and i would send them now, but now i have one week to pack and have garage sales and visit every family member before i move to NY on aug 23rd...with no apt, mind you. soooo basically we all know the postcards will never get sent. haha. um anyway, the trip was great i was so ready to go home by the end though. i cut out like 4 countries i was planning on going to because i wanted to get to actually enjoy places and not be moving every day. i'm so in love with paris i know that i have to live there at some point in my life...or at least travel as much as i can. london too is amazing. its really so unsatisfying cause it makes you want to go to 10,000,000 more places you know? i hope everyone is doing welll...bye!

So Artwear is my final show, the thing i have been working for the entire time I've been at UNT. We make a collection of 4 pieces and enter those 4 plus 3 more garments in ...there are like 210 entries and only 125 get in....6 is the highest number of garments you can possibly have in the show, but as few as 0. Judging was last night, two of them flew in from new york so we'll call them "real" judges, one of those does celebrity clothes..., the rest are all in the industry here in Dallas....anyway, you fit and pick and dress the models and i had accesories and everything and they looked freaking amazing! seriously! we don't go in while they get judged so you don't really know if they like it or not. they posted the list today and.....
I GOT 6 GARMENTS IN! MY WHOLE COLLECTION!! plus a menswear outfit and another dress!! i am soooo happy, it's unbelievable. only like 4 or 5 girls got their whole collections in! if you get your whole collection you are also up for awards, but i'm happy to have even gotten this many in. so it's next friday!! i can't wait.
then i graduate may 14
THennnnnnnnnn......
I move in with matt may 15!!!!!!!!!! hehehehehehehe that's some news. were moving in and keely's getting married so her husband will move in my apartment. crazy. mmm hmmmmmmmmmmm.

Watch TV!!! for meee

Tue, 05 Apr 2005 17:32:15 GMT

just to let you know....the three episodes of Queer Eye for the Straight guy that I worked on started last tues (that was the frat house one that's down the street from my apartment), the second one is one tonight 9 on bravo, and the final one next tues so you should watch them and think of meeee!
I have never been so busy or stressed...i'm working two jobs, one at a montessori day care with 18 month-2 year olds and one sewing for the principal at the school because she has a side boutique business and a show coming up at market hall. on top of that I have all my sewing stuff because my collection is due at the end of this month and Artwear is May 6th! I graduate may 14. I got my invitations and cap and gown today. crazy. sarah is my freak out melt down friend. what are we doing after this?
have a great day!

yesterday was matt's mom's wedding and my phone was turned off all night and when i looked at my messages they were all about jessica mann's engagement. first of all, congratulations! i guess we know who's getting married first out of all of us now. it is weird though...cause i don't know reed, so it all seems very seperate from the jessica i remember. getting married in maui seems very jessica though.....
we saw sideways last night, too, which is also about a wedding and fucked up lives. i'm very jaded about the whole marriage thing so i'm happy for people who aren't.
i never write in here anymore cause the stuff going on in my life is really wonderful and i feel like i need to protect it or something...like if i talk about too much it'll go away...but i always read all of yours and love it :)

Sarah!!

Sun, 31 Oct 2004 23:06:56 GMT

I was a map for Halloween last night...Miss Map actually. My dress turned out awesome, it was made of maps w/ micromachines glued all over and highway straps.....Felicia dressed up as marilyn Manson and looked so much like him it was scary, she got asked if she was a girl or boy several times, also in the top 10 in the contest. A vending machine won the 1st place 500 dolla. if you went up to him and pushed the buttons it let out candy and everything. then we got pulled over by a BICYCLE COP!! it was hilarious cause he freaked when he saw felicia's face. we were pulled over for honking!
fri night i almost started a fight cause i thought everyone three was cool and started talking about politics...but no, there were more bush supporters than not and then this one guy, who looks like phil collins goes" anyways, i'm against pro-choice." i stopped talking to him after that......
today i made halloween rice crispy treats for everyone and ate as much as i'm giving away :)...i dont know what i'm going to be tonight cause i dont care anymore i rather be really comfortable than try to be cute....
i could always be a sexy bunny...right jessica? hehehehehehehe

Wed, 27 Oct 2004 08:37:36 GMT

hey! i miss everyone so fucking bad! i want to see jessica! i get jealous hearing about sarah, lyndsey, lance and jess mann hanging out together. i want to visit everyone. i can't wait til christmas time. let's all work at vcr cause i need money and we could hang out there together...lol. I got so sad last weekend cause i was looking forward to rilo kiley for MONTHS...it was sold out cause they fucking booked them at this tiny place in denton. i almost started crying when i found out. then the next day a project went to shit but a milkshake with two straws made it better :) what's everyone being/doing for halloween????????????

Sat, 25 Sep 2004 21:37:34 GMT

hey! so much has been going on lately...let's see, i'm done with my internship, i got to go on set the last day and it was down the street from my grandma's house, so that was pretty cool...there was a wrap party at a bar in dallas, i took Felicia (who is awesome)and it was soooo much fun!
i saw that scary japanese movie ju-on and it was good, done differently from most horror films, went to a robert motherwell exhibit at the modern in ft. worth which was reallly nice, and the japanese gardens, which are now my favorite place ever to be; they were incredibly beautiful and quiet....i have my first critique in Fibers next week, and then right after, my first outfit for fash. des. 5 is due so we'll see how those go....
I'm home this weekend! kendall and i watched mean girls last night (so funny) we've been shopping alllll day and i love my mommy for that. i love urbn and anthropologie and old navy for sales.... hopeful i'll get to see everyone tonight for matt's 21st b-day. call me if you're in town!

Mon, 13 Sep 2004 08:17:52 GMT

i don't like who i am right now. i keep messing the same things up over and over. i want to fix this. i don't like not caring cause i want to, really badly....i just don't. i feel yucky.

my mouth tastes like icky milk

Sun, 12 Sep 2004 11:10:58 GMT

so its sat night and i went to a fashion design girls' husbands b-day part....apparently fash design girls don't know how to party...thenmy friend invited me to a party on a certain street. i go to this street, but see no cars anywhere near the supposed number "1000-something" but 800 something has something going on so i park and as i'm walking to the door i realize it is a fucking frat boy party and i am going to the wrong house. as i go to the door and they're all "who are you/ who do you know here" one of their drunk buddies backs his car into mine. bumper/license scratched and bent. sweet. FUCK YOU! they were nice and all come in have a beer we're sorry about our friend but i left to the next party.....where an ex was, unexpectedly, and was being nice...until he goes (oh btw he's a bi-polar psycho) you forgot my birthday yesterday!!! in the middle of our conversation and stormed out, slamming the door in my face. why do i get these weird super emotional boys all the time?? i'm more of a man than them............ anyway, that was my fabulous night. so much fun. my original i'm staying home tonight plan would've gone over much better...

name dropping extrodanaire

Fri, 03 Sep 2004 03:30:58 GMT

i promise i won't always be this annoying, but i'm so excited! so here goes:

I met the fab five today!! i got to hang out with Carson, Kyan, Ted, and Jai. it was kinda surreal chilling in this nasty frat guy room with sports stuff and playboys lying around turned into a makeshift wardrobe room with Kyan laid back on this guys' futon and Carson looking at racks of clothing! he is exactly the same in person as on camera...very funny/ sassy. they are all soooooooooooo nice and sooper friendly. Keely and I got to help Carson with an opening scene thing. Ted was telling us what he was showing them to cook ("puff pastries with sausage and a chuntney mustard sauce")and they actually cook it all there....the re-done Frat living room looks amazing!! Jai "the culture guy" is doing a sex-ed class for the frat boys and they're putting condoms on bananas!!
i saw pics of them with the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders and Carson is wearing keely and I's rhinestoned outfit and it looks really cute.
the lady i work for is the coolest girl i've ever met, i wanna be just like her when i grow up! we might go see Franz Ferdinand together! shes only a little older and got into fashion cause she babysat for a women who worked at Glamour. crazy.
i only got pics of me and keely in the wardrobe room, we were trying to play it cool and not be dorky asking for pics...lol...yea we're nerds....
now i hafta go do lots of homework but it's going much better than before <3

get up on this!

Tue, 31 Aug 2004 22:12:42 GMT

pu-push it reeeel good!!!!!!!!! the be-dazzler that is.........

today was the first day of my internship and it was soooo coool! seriously, everyone was incredibly nice and laid back and not at all what i thought new york tv people would act like. the fab five are actually in Denton right now doing a Frat guy and the frat house...the entire fraternity gets a new wardrobe!! wtf?? they also get matching monogrammed american eagle button downs that I ironed! lol. the coolest thing was my 2 1/2 hours of Be-dazzeling a dallas cowboys outfit Carson is going to wear with the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders tomorrow! it looks sooo good if i do say so myself. i will call each and every person i know up when the episode comes on and say "look at that!! III did that!!" ok, keely did the shorts...i did the top (ahem the coolest and bestest ;)) , just to give credit where credit is due. also, they gave me free lunch from jasons deli and then money for gas and lunch for this week! how nice. i love it, i def. want to work in tv styling/ costume design now.
in other news....HAPPY B-DAY LYNNIE!! i love you, miss you, hope you have a wonderful day!

getting back in the mood....

Tue, 31 Aug 2004 00:10:16 GMT

k there could be lots to talk about, but instead I'm just going to ask this: What/when was the WORST first day of school outfit you've ever worn??????? i'll go first!!
5th grade: forest green peasant blouse with 5" ruffle collar
complete w/ puff sleeves, green crochet vest worn over it, red plaid flannel kilt, green plaid flannel Vans.
wow.it's incredible i'm a fashion design major. hehe. i love how you used to pick it out like a week in advance, though, that was fun; that new school year anything-can-happen feeling. i guess i'm jaded this year. this is it, last year of school, never to go again and i feel like there's so much more i want/need to learn.

Mon, 30 Aug 2004 03:22:35 GMT

ah, the VMA's. Andre is still wonderful. everyone is so into voting and i love it. it's zoe's b-day and i hope it's grreat! school starts tomorrow, then internship the next day. busy, hopefully good times ahead. good luck jessica with moving!!!!!!!!!!!! i love you!

this makes no sense....

Wed, 25 Aug 2004 00:08:48 GMT

"theres blood in my mouth cause i've been biting my tongue all week
i keep talking trash but i never say anything"

everything feels weird right now, like everything should be fitting into place, but it's not. i need to start speaking up. nobody likes a complainer, but you know what? they're the ones that ask, bitch, moan and ultimately, get their way. i'm sick of being in situations i hate and not saying anything. it's also making me feel like the girlfriend who only talks shit about her boyfriend and so everyone hates him cause she never mentions the good.
this is my last year of school when everything really matters, when i have to be the sharpest, and i can't even get my pre-school homework done. it's like all my juice has drained out. i need some inspiration. how do you end "writer's block"?
zoe came and stayed with me the last few days and it was fun, we did lots of shopping and eating and watching awesome preteen movies. jaime and i forced her to the local bar and secretly she loved it. k not really, but she was a trooper ;)
the new rilo kiley is incredibly depressing. death, cheating husbands, hurt...not an upper.

Thu, 19 Aug 2004 20:17:49 GMT

guess what????????????? i am going to be a wardrobe assistant intern for Queer Eye for the Straight Guy for the month it's filming in the metroplex!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! if you crossed you fingers for me (as i requested in the last post) it worked!!!! woooo!!! i can't wait!

got a nasty habit called rock and roll

Thu, 19 Aug 2004 05:19:00 GMT

it's so weird how days can be so up and down and crazy and bad and wonderful at the same time. i was sick for two hours, feeling like shit w/ a headache and tummy ache and feverish and then poof was fine and cleaning like crazy, watching the olympics being proud of some guy for having an amazing comeback and getting the gold after falling. i was so happy for him, he looked like he was going to kill himself after falling.......
alsoooo...cross your fingers for me in a good way...or get together and do a carebear stare! or something... i need luck. more details later.
this weekend should be grrrreaaat! yay.

;)

Tue, 10 Aug 2004 02:56:04 GMT

i dooo...wonder if you feel the same way i do
i can see it in your eyes i entice you....
so come on shorty if you think you can roll...
with an iced out playa ballin out of control..

i went to Knox today with kendall to get her locker all set up and bring her books up there and whatnot, and you wouldn't believe the freaking kids. ok kendall looks her age...she is cute and innocent and little....these 8th grade girls, just 1 year older, look like....me (or you)! i mean they are tall, have boobs annd butt and dress with style....not like us in 8th grade, they don't look all awkward, they're all like hot grown ups. i was like wtf? she'll get eaten alive! eh, jr. high is always hellish i guess....unless you're one of those girls i suppose...also her principal is gale drummond...god i hated her she was an awful cow.
is everyone hanging out tomorrow when sarah gets in? i leave thurs so zoe, lynnie, sarah.....call me! <3 you bye

Sun, 08 Aug 2004 08:23:40 GMT

hey! btw my mouth and spleen and platelets are doing fine...lol...today was my mommy's b-day and kendall and i went to see little black book while they went to see manchurian candidate. it's a good movie but it was kinda sad, because that happens in most every relationship...you get to find out from other sources who your boyfriend really is/ what he really does when you're not around and just makes you feel like you don't know the person you thought you were closest to. it started out with carly simon which made me want to hate the movie already but it ended really good. then we had a reallly yummy dinner at cheesecake factory and i think i could live on avacados....and of course my present was the bestest. hehe.

honesty is always the best policy

Fri, 06 Aug 2004 05:36:40 GMT

i stand by that...for now ;)

k today i had a dentist appt. cause my mouth has been bleeding profusely any time i touch my teeth/ brush exc. which is a bit worrisome....i didn't expect the dentists to freak out but they did and brought like 3 others to come look at my freakish mouth. anyways it hurt incredibly bad cause of they prodding and they didn't even know why it was happening. so then i had to get all these blood tests done so they can see what's wrong. my spleen may be eating my platelets. my slppeeen may be EATING my platelets. i start laughing every time i've told someone that today. i just picture a big pink pac man eating his little pellet things. so anyways, i get those results tomorrow probably. i think this medication (to make me blood clot up right) makes me hyper and giddy....

hey guess what? i hate you and i can't wait to tell you!!!

Tue, 03 Aug 2004 06:34:40 GMT

San Diego was wonderful!!! it consisted of:
jessica, who is so fucking fabulous, esp. when drunk and dancing!!!, drunk dancing, a BABY PANDA!!, big pandas, being at the beach til 3 am, never actually touching any water...haha...and my sister going to the emergency room b/c she gets sick on every family vacation ever. poor kendy. i went to the Whaley house which is supposedly one of the most haunted places in the U.S., and of course the zoo, and on the plane back met the world championship bmx-er...in the 5 year old category. his trophy was bigger than him. were you even riding a two wheeler at age 5?? cause i wasn't.... anyways, it was all very fun. i'm happy to be back and i wanna see everyone ;)

Tue, 27 Jul 2004 11:12:27 GMT

"Just wanted to tell you how sweet you were to go to Groesbeck yesterday...i know it meant a lot to Betty and to your Dad and Julie...Did you have any problem with your dad's fat wife? Julie said Katherine acted like you were her long lost daughter....ha..ha...ha! She is completely off her rocker, really"
My grandma fucking rules!!!! seriously I love you GJ!!!

To everyone else......i'm leavin for cali!! yay! waiting on my slow family to start movin anytime now..... anyways, this trip is going to be the turning point in my month/ summer/ year. from here on out it is all peaches and cream. at least that's what i've decided.
Also the new Ikea's opening Aug 4th and Vern Yip from trading spaces is going to be there!! hes so cool.
Plusss... i am staying extra time in houston...til like Aug 14ish so anyone here needs to call me (i get back next monday the 2nd?) and we will have so much fun.
bye everyone! have fun see you latorrr!

Sun, 25 Jul 2004 05:33:58 GMT

today was the funeral and it was all very weird but good for some i guess. A lady came up and told me she would know me from anywhere cause i looked just like my dad and said you hafe one more year of college, right? and knew all about me cause my gandpa apparently talked about me a lot. that makes me happy. then her mom said i was a good person inside and out, that she could just tell. that made me feel really good. one of the pallbearers had to go to the emergency room and we visited him and it was sad cause he was in a strange place in a crappy hospital alone...Jordan is just not my sister. i can't think of her as related. i thought it would be different. it was sad though cause she didn't understand anything going on (she's retarded)and at the cemetary just sat down and played in the dirt. her mom sucks as a mom and as a person. she acts/says/treats Jordan like she is a burden. once a fat psycho bitch, always a fat psycho bitch. period. i don't like people crying in public especially old men, it's just too sad. i like doing the crying by myself and hate watching people break down. i love kids at funerals cause they don't understand and just run around and talk and act like normal, breaking up the "mourning mood." i don't want a funeral, i want a party with a cake that says "lynsey was fabulous" and people to tell stories about me and laugh and cry happily. anyways, his old college roommate who has been his best friend for 54 years spoke and i wanted to share what he said because although we hear it a lot, it's so true:
the roommate was visting some friends on Thurs and they were talking and telling stories and he said, you know, i really need to call my old friend Jimmy and see how he's doing. and he got home and there were two messages on his machine about Jimmy's death. so if you are thinking about anyone, just to say hi or you miss them/love them/ what's up, just call them now cause you never know, and it could make all the difference in the world.
oh and thank you to Jessica Mcgarvey, you are one of my favorite most wonderful people in the whole entire world and i looove you :) you just get "it"
and to sarah...i love yooou more than pandas, too, and that's A LOT!! <3 thanks u guys
on another note...things to know when you visit Groesbeck if you ever get that lucky:
1) hogpins are 299.99 this is a steal folks, pick one up
2) don't get hurt. the "emergency room" has a hand drawn "Emergency" sign....
3) you can see the fried chicken place Anna Nicole Smith used to work at and her home town. pretty sweet huh? ;)
