Taking a more realistic approach to Juniper
I was looking through some Bambi stills and was inspired by the realistic structure of the legs. I decided to use that style on Juniper and I really like it. It works well with the settings and story better I think. It’s not much of a comedy, so realism is important.
Twiggy will be the end of me (and my bank account)
Twiggy is launching a new line on HSN called “Twiggy London”. Although her fashion is a bit older than me, I love her accessories! 
These sunglasses are delish. I don’t know how much longer I will be able to resist them. Please go on sale soon! Please Please Please! That emerald green would go so well with my hair :3
Starbucks LIED to me – LIED!!!!!
I forgot to make this post when it happened, but I want everyone to know that Starbucks totally blows and they LIARED!! to me. My wonderful aunt, Ani, got me a Starbucks card for my birthday, she sent it to me early, so I’d take advantage of the “free drink on your birthday” thing they have at Starbucks.
I went into the store, casually strolling by their nauseating faux-positivistic posters, and all smiley, asked if I could get a free drink on my birthday. I presented my Starbucks Reward card just to have the chick at the cashier go, “Uh, what?” Another barista that was making a drink chimed in and told me it wouldn’t work unless I registered online. Of course, I had already registered online, the day I got the card! So I proceeded happily to hand her my rewards card.
And she says, “Well, you have to register and then get a certificate of your birthday in the mail.”
“What?”
“A certificate, of your birthday.”
And then, sulking and frowny-faced, I walked out of Starbucks and took a stroll to a magical land called JC Beans AKA Starbucks main competitor on PCH in Dana Point.
I had a yummy caffeinated slushie and went along and had a great birthday, despite Starbucks denying me my inalienable RIGHT as a Starbucks Rewards card holder to get a free freaking drink on my BIRTHDAY!
I’m convinced there’s some type of conspiracy to not give anyone a free drink on their birthday. I mean, if they really need to “certify” your birthday, couldn’t they just ask for your ID? IT’S A CONSPIRACY.
I’m not actually mad, but I gotta say this was pretty ridiculous. Just reason #462757 I should quit Starbucks. I wish I knew how to quit it. Have something to say about this post? Contact me.
One of the best days of my life.
Thanks to Dary, the ocean and the sun.
Yes, I’m somewhere in that last picture, getting crushed by a wave. I’m gonna have really bad febra musculară tommorow. In English that translates to something like being stiff. (Or Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness.) There’s nothing in the world like fighting against the ocean for an hour to ride a wave for 40 seconds.
More Brainstorming…
Not really happy with my work today.
I’m getting sloppy. ):
On the bright side, my story is getting better.

I had a lovely birthday: I changed my haircolor to brown, got a Cintiq (will blog about it soon), got a super qt bodyboard, ate yummy cake, and went to Iva Lee’s (in San Clemente) for dinner. It was great Cajun food. Here’s the pictures from my day:
Afternoon cake :)

Here’s my favorite birthday poem, from Dr. Seuss
If we didn’t have birthdays,
you wouldn’t be you.
If you’d never been born,
well then what would you do?
If you’d never been born,
well then what would you be?
You might be a fish!
Or a toad in a tree!
You might be a doorknob!
Or three baked potatoes!
You might be a bag full of
hard green tomatoes.Or worse than all that…Why,
you might be a WASN’T!
A Wasn’t has no fun at all.
No, he doesn’t.
A Wasn’t just isn’t.
He just isn’t present.
But you…You ARE YOU!
And, now isn’t that pleasant!Today you are you!
That is truer than true!
There is no one alive……who is you-er than you!
Shout loud, “I am lucky
to be what I am!
Thank goodness I’m not
just a clam or a ham
Or a dusty old jar of
sour gooseberry jam!
I am what I am! That’s a
great thing to be!
If I say so myself,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!”
USA Today Confuses Dreamworks & Pixar on FRONT PAGE!
I saw the paper today and couldn’t believe they made such a silly mistake. If you can’t read it it says:
Toothless, left, soars in 3-D Pixar film
This is all fine and dandy, except Pixar didn’t make “How to Train your Dragon” – Dreamworks did!
OOPS!

I didn’t cry. I sighed. A couple times. Deeply. I really wanted this, I knew I probably didn’t deserve it. I thought about how great it would be, but this past week I’ve prepared myself for rejection and I guess it went pretty well.
As soon as I saw the thin envelope in my mailbox I knew. I remembered Dary telling me sometimes acceptance letters are thin, too. I opened it. Not this time. I was too scared to read from the beginning so I scanned the page for the word “regret.” Sure enough, it was there.
…the Admissions Committee has decided with regret that it is unable to grant you admission to the University of San Diego…
Regret. An appropriate word. Since all I will be thinking about this week is how much I regret my grades and my choice not to study. Maybe how much I regret even bothering to apply. Moving on.
I wrote part of the Juniper story last night. I’m pretty sure it will be called Juniper’s Journey. Journey is the word for a group of giraffes and it’s also the word for, well, journey. It’s this type of cleverness that University of San Diego will be missing out on, regretfully.
The world is not over. The sun will still continue to come up. Kittens are still cute and Leo is still going to try to end the UPS man.
Only thing left to do now is try harder.
The emotions I’m feeling are giving me inspiration for Juniper’s Journey. One of them, is regret.
I need ice cream.
