no good....
I don't understand
Meticulous

:::::::::::::::::ICE...Snow!!!::::::::::::::::::

Today I have got my website on the web... It is nowhere near being done, but you can check it out and critique it if you want... The only page that has something you might want to look at is the Gallery (jan24, 2004). Just so you know. I have the link just over there to the right (under links). I know this isn't the greatest feat but I am sure proud! Special thanks to my Brother Rick! He got me going and provided me with the address of www.studio205.org!!! YAY fun stuff!

I have another special thanks to Fred... He informed me how to get you hooked up with my email for QD and so on... Thank you.

I am really bummed right now because my money is non existent... I have been bumming money off my parents. I am not found of that at all. I have been paying for my own way for quite sometime. My parents don't have the extra to spare. I don't have a way of getting money either. I love school but when they take over $13,000 for ONE freaking semester and they are just a state school (and from a state I am not the fondest of) it SUCK!

The work in school is really getting fun. I hope I do well for my sake and the clients as well! I believe I am going to learn more than I even hope for!

I guess I am getting back to work!

QD: What is your favorite kind of music?

Friday:

I have a good portion of my website design done! I have decided to limit my craziness for now. So it can be a working site as soon as possible... Exciting.

So my studio class is doing this community project and now it is getting a lot of publicity. This will put a little more pressure on the class... I like where this is going.

QD: Do you care about this super bowl and would you want to win?

1.29.2004

Concert was Great!

Last night was a blast and I would do that every night! I have more to say but I must run to class... Peace out yo.

QD:What is your favorite place you have visited?

1.28.2004

Bang-up: First-rate, excellent < a bang-up job >

The last few days have been a little ruff... I have been dealing with a lot of different issues! Well it has not been all bad!

Yesterday was my longest day as far as classes go! It went well except I thought one class started at 7:30pm but really started at 7:05pm... It was all good though, because I was there 15 minutes early (for when I thought it was)! ha...

I got all my laundry done and read a bit of my structures, which was WORD for WORD of what my teacher said the past two classes... I think he just copies the book and then that would explain the difficulty of understanding the class. The book is horrible...

I am going to a concert tonight, and I am Very EXCITED! YAY!! I love live music!

My website is going much slower than wanted, but it is going! I still see it happening.


I am out/

QD: What do you really want to be when you grow up?

Lambent: 1. Flickering 2. softly radiant 3. marked by lightness or brilliance!

The snow is Beautiful! I am quite happy that there is snow! I want to go sledding but there are no hills in Kansas! Yet snow is so wonderful (since I don’t have to go anywhere or deal with the negatives)…

I have decided on starting a “question of the day” I will call it “QD”… real original I
Know. But you can respond to it or just answer the question for your self!!! Why am I doing this you might ask…. well I don’t know… For FUN!

QD: What is your favorite DRINK?

1.25.2004

Sight! (I see the end)

Yesterday I went on my field trip to Baldwin City. I left yearly and sat through a lot of talking and then toured the small town. After that I helped get measurements for the existing Building! It was a good time!

We then headed to KC! Where I bought pants and chilled with my friend Sally! By the time I got back in town my roommate was back and decided to respond to a few of my questions with more than just a "NO" or "yeah..." It was amazing. Well she didn't talk long. My day was long and good (over all) and ended up Great!

...I am a little uneasy today...

1.23.2004

I don’t think I could be in a better mood!

Right now seems too perfect to really be real… I have been having really good out comes with everything in the past few days. The only bad thing was me missing my first class of Structures… Now this is not setting precedence... I think I will have a great semester!

Weather: It couldn’t be better! I think it is about 60 right now!

Tonight I am going to go buy some jeans. Seeing as I left all of mine in St. Charles! I think I left a few other things! Oops!

Field Trip: Tomorrow I am going to Ballwin City for our first Project in studio. :::::::exciting:::::::

Oh I am in an excellent mood. YAY!

1.22.2004

I am back to the computer! I have a lot to do...

Things are going Great!!! I have work piling up and I am starting to see allnighters in the near feature! This sort of excites me..

I did cut off my hair! And I am quite pleased.

I got the studio professor I requested! That is Great!

There are many more things going well, but there is no time to talk... I must get to my work... YAY!

~peace

1.19.2004

I am in KANSAS!

1.15.2004

P. F. Chang:

My family and I took my Grandma out for a Birthday dinner! It was wonderful. I have not been eating out at all (save Austin). P. F. Changs is Great and fulfills the desires of fancy cuisine!!!

I am slowly figuring out the inter-workings of the CRAZY world of website making(still)!

And in about 24 hrs. I will be back at SCHOOL! I am thrilled by this outset!

YAY!

1.14.2004

Excited!

Today was good! I helped fix up the other side of the house. This is the last day in which we can do that.. People are moving in tomorrow. I am glad I am not living here anymore. It would be too weird to have someone else live where my Grandparents lived for the past 15 years.

I went in to get my hair done today and the lady who washes your hair couldn't believe that I was 21. I wanted to tell her to get over it.. I might not look my age but darn it isn't that the IDEA!!!

And now my hair is really short!!! I love it! IT is strait and short. Maybe not the best cut on me, but I have had my hair LONG and CURLY for 6 years!! I am stoked about the change. It doesn't make me look any older though...

Friday is getting closer!! YAY!


1.13.2004

All out.

I spoke at my old High school about Architecture and how I got into it and how much I LOVE IT. And what I did in school thus far! IT was so amazing! I get so excited about architecture and helping students get involved. This was really fun for me. I love kids too (even if they are teenagers).

There was this girl (who was my kind of girl) that was very inquisitive BUT still knew where she wanted to go in life! She asked where in MISSOURI she should go to school for architecture...

!!!NEWSFLASH!!! Missouri dose not have a good (full program) School of architecture! UMKC's architecture program ROCKS... But only for two years... Soon through much debate and money pushing we will have UMKC as an accredited 5 year architecture program! That way those in Missouri, or should I say misery, can go to school paying IN-STATE tuition! And smaller classes: Where teachers care about the students instead of JUST their own reputation.

sorry... Just venting...

My brother is here!!! YAY! I am so happy. I feel comfortable when he is around. I feel at home now!

I am trying to start this website. It is exciting but it will be hard for me. I don't know what I am doing at all!

::::::::::::I can't WAIT until Friday!:::::::::::::

1.12.2004

Stir crazy!

I have been in St. Charles way too long! I have resorted to watching TV. I don't really like TV. Unless it is a TVO thing where you can control it and there are more that 5 or so things to pick from...

So MY brother is coming in town and I am so excited!!! He lives in Cali, and I didn’t know I was going to get to see him this break..

I know this time right now is like a calm before the storm... I am going crazy just sitting around all day doing small seemingly pointless things, but SOON!!!

Soon my brother is going to be here. yay.. I am going to be a “guest speaker”. I am having to deal with my portfolio and resume. I am going to start on my new website. I must deal with money issues. Moving issues… oh… Fred (as some might call him) is coming!!!! YAY!!! and I am going to be back in the line of firer: SCHOOL... Storm indeed.

I rather like storms though! When I lived in Kansas City there were such amazing sorms. I would go out in them and soak them up or sit in my apartment (6th floor corner-lots of windows) and gaze at them. The brilliance and thrill of them was so awe-inspiring. Their beauty captivated me... SO WHAT DOES THAT MEAN...?

interesting. And I have heard different things that I am going to try and find out more...
The morning is here. AND for some reason I am still sick. It must be some sort of flu deal... No fun, no fun!

The other day I went to see "Cold Mountain" with my best friend, Ariella. This epic is amazingly emotional. Well done, but WOW! War is such a horrifying thing! People can be so cold hearted and wicked...
Today was great. I helped my parents paint, wash windows, and put in lights! It was a work day and a productive one at that. I love it when I can do productive things.

We finally have renters for the other side of our house. They move in on wed. I am very excited for my mom and dad. They have been remodeling for a year and a half! Good times!

1.11.2004

…22… thank you… there is noway you know how I feel right now. That is not fair.

How did you even notice me? I don’t deseve it…
Emotion ran wild!

I am at a loss of words……

Horizons:

I am working on starting a website. I have never done this successfully. Now I plan on having a site that I am proud of. One that I want to show everyone. So in this endeavor I have been searching for a good book that would direct me toward my goal. So I bought "Go Live 6 for Dummies". I never thought I would buy one of those "for Dummies" books.

Oh well.

eminence/a>
I didn't get my orange juice last night... So I am still ill.

I am starting to feel a little better though!

1.07.2004

Today:

so I got up late again in efforts to rid this illness. I don't think the illness will survive too much longer... I am going to have my fair share of orange juice tonight (good idea from the man )

I was supposed to go to Ando's first building in St. Louis, today. Ando is by far on the top of my list of good architects. The building is a small museum downtown.

My sister was going to come with... Well my brother was putting her under the wire with his new business logo. My sister has a design Firm that is doing rather well. AND my brother is headed to Vegas to try his LUCK with some CEOs there.

Anyway in saying all that he needed a "look" for his new business and my sister didn't have time to go with me to the ando building. Instead we are going on Saturday. That works for me.

My agenda changed to photographing all my work that is here at home. That made a mess. It was fun though because it brought back many memories of the first two years of school. Although I have lost a lot of my work. now I have the photos done.

I am hungry....

1.06.2004

How come I never knew that I liked pizza rollz before a month ago??...

I have come down with some sort of illness. I haven't been taking care of myself or sleeping much, so no suprize there. I started to feel overwhelmingly horrible last night so I just took a "nap". That nap was 21 hours long!!!

I woke up and my mom had lunch ready for me... How awesome is that? She really puts up with a lot. So I enjoyed the home cooked food that I miss so badly.

So this day turned into a workday for me... I sat infront of three computers: emailed, looked up things on the web, and called people all day. I did my fair share of talking.

I got pictures back today from my trip in Austin… and think there are 3 pictures of people…. And there are 3 rolls: the rest are of buildings… (for those who don’t know me… I am a wanabe architect)

My hair… I am wanting to do something with it… now what that is; might just be making it curly again. Oh bother. How normal of me. My mom freaked when I showed her the pictures of the hair cut I wanted… have you seen “sliding doors�?

Now I am going to go paint. My parents are renting the otherside of our house out and they have been remodeling it for sometime now… there are only a few more things and one is me triming the 11’ tall walls… I acctually love painting it is relaxing. SO YAY!!

BY the way I found out I really really like pizza rollz… Bree

okay I had doubles there and a few typos... just forgive me... please...thanx. bree
This morning I got up this morning and had to endure a horrible sore throat and could not breath well. But I went to workout with my mom anyway ... That was good but I was about to die... This workout thing is something I must keep up with.

I lost my drivers license in Austin so I must go and get me a new one. I really stunk though while I was in Austin, because the last night I tried to get in this place called Buffalo Billiards for the farewell party (which is a private party). They would not even let me in for a good 40 minutes. I had to talk to the bouncer, the manager, the police, and then the executive director of AIAS talked to the owner of the building to vowed that I was over 18 (as I am 21)... I didn't need to drink and that wasn't the issue. The issue was me being in there without an ID... But they finally let me in after the man with the money talked... haha...

I am thinking of cutting my hair off. I don't know how good of an idea this is but I thought it would be fun. My dad said he wouldn't like me buzzing my hair, but didn't mind the fun chop thing. AND you never want to make your dad mad....

~So I don't know what my hair will look like in the next week.

~I wanted to do this thing where I buzzed tiny rows in my hair so that I could then put them in corn rows easily but that could look very interesting.

~I thought maybe I would do the normal choppy bob.

~Then there are always those fun really short messy cuts

I don’t know… you can give an opinion otherwise I will let you know…


bye for now. bree

My First Blog... Entitled: Vexatious

I thought I might try this out for a while. My "exclusive" friend was already apart of this fun little blogger deal. I needed to start writing out my thoughts so this will be a good thing for me. I don't expect you to be shocked by anything I write or be totally engaged by my profound expression, but thanx for reading! OKAY I am excited!!! YAY...

First off I had a different Holiday season (than I am use to). This is the first time that my family didn't do the normal gathering thing... But over all it was a good time.

I spent the last week in Austin, TX, for the National AIAS FORUM (American Institute of Architecture Students). WOW, it was a Great week. I learned so much and I hung out with some really awesome people. I did beat myself up though... :

~I stubbed my toe so bad that it busted. Bloody... (I was jumping in the UNHEATED pool outside. It was fun)

~I ran two days in a row for the first time in about two years... ouch... (I didn't move very well the rest of the week)

~I was swing dancing on new years with a crowd of people watching and I slipped and brought down my dance partner (Randy). All of our weight landed on my knee. To say the least the knee is not a pretty sight now. And Randy's pride was a bit hurt... (Sorry Randy)

~Erik was teaching Jill and me how the light a match with one hand... Well I did it slightly wrong and the match infused into my thumb and wouldn't come off... My finger and my thumb were up in flames... It was super painful.

~The elevators were a bit slow (there were 800 architecture students in the hotel, that slows things down), SO I took the stairs a lot (I don't have the much patients).. My room was on the 5th floor and I visited the 10th many times. Towards the end of the week I don't think my muscles were happy with me!!!

~I was dancing like a crazy women one night... well I did a back bend, right? Yeah, so I got too close to the floor and hit my head hard, yet no one around knew because I recovered by coming back up as normal... (Most likely you don't know what I am talking about... I would have to show you ;)

~I was promoting the "Blue Nose Club" (and if you don't know what that is go to the farewell party at FORUM next year in NEW Orleans) Fr iday night and attacking people... Let's just say my nose is almost blue because of a bruise instead of CHALK. (Sorry to anyone who got a head butt)...

~well there were a few more pains but no stories... I think my pride was hurt once... All this in one week. I am going to have to be more careful, BUT anyone who knows me knows that that is most likely NOT going to happen!

Well I talked enough. I hope everyone's holidays ROCKED!!! Talk to you next time..
