The Rainnbow Collective
As you may or may not know I'm quite crafty. I love making things that really just add a little extra joy to a chance encounter.
As it just so happens I am terrible at keeping things in full momentum but yesterday I set up my etsy for real. Well I at least Started an account. I am The Rainbow Collective!!! I am most excited to get back in the swing of things and made it my personal goal to have things up on there by the end of September. Now it seems like such a waste to have a 100 gallon tote brimming with vintage finds, awesome t-shirts and hair flowers and nothing is happening with them!
And even though everyone and their mom has an etsy it's at least a start. Followed by legit business cards and networking at the bars. Seriously i talked to a gal who sold her all-natural cleaning products out of her car at a bar. People are friendly people are wasted and people have cash! That's terrible but what a great story!
Another goal of mine is to keep up on my music. Whether it be being more adventurous in my music selection or actually picking up a duet book for me and Posiden to practice. I love music, and would rather not think about when I'm old and gray (or RAINBOW!) and can't hear a damn thing.
Anyways...Halloween is also upon us. I've got a couple costumes in mind but my main event is Mermaid. Ever so excited i will post my process.
Check out these songs if you have a moment!
La Roux- "In For the Kill" (Skrillex Remix)
I was really over everyone mentioning dubstep but when the bass drops i just want to dance and rage and just cut a mutha fuckin rug....:D
Freestyles- "Cracks" (Flux Pavillion Remix)
Basically when this comes on Pandora is a deal breaker....even if the previous six songs where nowhere near as good. Usually it sets the tone for the next few.
Oh Pandora old reliable. I only recently discovered it as a solution to the lack of computer access and music on my iPhone. Huzzah to free music kids. But the problem with it on my phone is that there are almost no options as far as customizing my station. If i get tired of songs i can't request them to stop playing like i can online i can skip a few and dislike a few but ultimately they come up again. But that's just me :D
Lastly a shout out to my doppelganger Max Nelson my most wonderful partner in crime lately. Two words Surly Disposition. But in a good way folks. It's ok to be blunt or frank and not tolerate people feeding you bullshit. Some people need desperately to be called out in the moment i know i do and i really appreciate that in people. I might not appear very grateful at the moment but at least it calls me to recount my actions or words.
Sigh. Also I relayed some information about myself to Michael my roommate in hopes that later it will help us to have a better understanding of each other. It was Difficult to bring up in a calm and collected manor but I think i did better than i have. It's a long road to acceptance and letting these feelings go but I'm doing alright
That's enough for tonight. I wish you all the sweetest dreams unimaginable.
Cheers!

micro and macro
AUTO FILL!!!!
I just thanked the Internet Gods a million times over for auto fill....One of the most annoying things to do for me is internet applications. No matter how subjective each and every one of them has their own special glitch. So I'm already not enjoying myself thoroughly I went to submit and my resume was in the wrong format and when I went to resubmit it had cleared out my entire application.....
waaaaah!!?! That is the white flag atop my giant cake of defeat but the Internet Gods took pity on me and allowed me to revive it. aahhh what a relief. After that getting the job would be...excuse the overuse of puns related to food, but icing on the cake.
SPEAKING OF CAKE! you remember mentionings of a certain artistic release via mural? where here is a little taste of what I've been up to. This is my very own piece of the wall! I'm pleased as punch at how well it turned out but theres still a bit of lining to do. Supplies are pretty limited so I had to go out and buy some smaller brushes which is totally fine considering this wonderful soul soaring activity is free whenever I can get over there!
A friend introduced me to my new favorite phrase the other night. Crystal Children! Basically anyone who seems maybe a tad bit ADD or just out of place. They really are not out of place they are just performing at a whole other level beyond this time. Futuristic perhaps? whatever it is I'm diggin' it.
So Crystal Kids enjoy the lovely extended summer we're having soak up enough Vitamin D to hold you through the winter and make sure your aboads are decorated with bright and cheery things!
Cheers!

towering possibilities
this week has been nearly overwhelming. Lots of emotions flying around and lots of little blessings.
Today was the first time i've worked out in i can't even tell you how long. two miles on the eliptcal doesn't seem like a lot but it is a welcome start. Followed by a refreshing shower using my new favorite thing CAFFEINATED SOAP! My sister works with a gal that makes it in all sorts of amazing scents. Mine is Absinthe and whoa mama yum!
you can get yours at www.contactcaffiene.com and at only five bucks a pop plus samples its totally worth a shot!!!
I cannot describe how much i love art! I consider myself very fortunate to be brought on the team to paint a mural on the side of a building in Downtown Everett. The building is a former bottling company that now house a art studio/store front/tea room/amazing totally open creative space for the community. If you can donate time or supplies you are welcome! It is really great to be able to contribute to something that loads of people see every single day. Its located conveniently near the Everett Train Station and Transit center.
Most importantly is my room mate and fellow libra Michael. I am so thankful for his kindness and honesty. Despite the hole that we seem to be dumping money into he always manages to make me smile. Especially when it comes to 90's music which hey, makes anyone smile. so terrible and so nostalgic all at once.
Also tonight we devoted the evening to two things; Sailormoon well Sailor Stars (thank you Japan) and an oreo tower. pictures to come. And although I feel completely nauseated by the amount of sugar i've consumed it was rather entertaining.
