SPX report:
Started out Friday driving down to Baltimore with Terence for the readings and nerdlinger awards. This was my first comic reading and it was awesome. loved the booze and cake as well. I will definitely be going to that comic store again it was like heaven. After the Nerdlingers we got to the hotel and met up withjoshpmpassive_mission,radrobot,nervousystem, nedriodcomics ,wormulus, and dancingcomi</div>c (it wont let me link to flyn and anthony ill fix later) we did some jams including the infamous cool guys one which Jamie scanned. Then I went to bed in a room with 7 people in it and it was awesome.

woke up and got some bagels tuna melt for breakfast then went in SPX. over whelmed I immediately went to Joshs table and soaked it in. then i began looking around and loving everything. I made sally sally_bloodbath show me what to buy. I traded some bought lots spent like 250 dollars on the whole weekend (not terrible including room food and whatever.). went to a faffel house for dinner with a huge crowd we all introduced ourselves drew some comics and had a great time. after BT, Terence and I went and got some beer and headed back to the awesome room of 332 and people came back from the ignatz and drank bear and drew jams all night. lots of jamz. The Jams were done with all the people mentions above + Emmi, Nate Powel, and Leigh. Im totally love Nate Powel just putting that out there.

next day I bought tons of comic and read comic and ate cipotle and had everyone make a birthday card for josh. Which was is favorite part of my present! thanks guys!

and i got out of the parking lot for free and got home relatively really and read boxbrown 's book and went to bed.


once again thanks for the card everyone!





NOW my interpretation of "The Bottle"

Its a hypothetical romance that ends with a sad result. The Bottle and The girl meet the go on a day the get intimate (the drinking) the romance runs out and hes put back on the shelf and forgotten.

Cant wait this is what im bringing

Ciao bella again and a new graphic mini call the bottle.
so stoked

must do art
must own scanner
must post art for you all


sorry

I'm really excited for mocca, and i'm really excited about having my own and first mini. (wyoming not included)

I want to exhibit some artwork and photos somewhere when i get back. and I very excited about this. any advice on good rates in a gallery or what ever?

so as it turns out Kate and I are wonderful travel buddies. Paris recap day by day
( 4 days under cut )

Ok so i went to Paris last weekend and it was bomb. and I'll write all about that after a dumb rant:
My roommates here and I are just too different they make little click and talk about those who aren't around and begin to resent the ones who aren't around. this originally happen to my one roommate Victoria and now its happening to me. here's the kicker... I've been trying not to care because i don't need them to like me but my not care has just made them more pissed at me. It's making it hard for me to live here. ive spent the past few night on kates couch cause i wanted to hang out with Alex Pelkey and I came home and my roommate just start screaming at about cleaning the bathroom. Sorry ive been busy non stop for the past week and i did a quick job but serously the bathrooms dont need to be scrubed on hands and knees everyweek. thats retarted. I really think they are jeleous of how much im traveling and how many people are visiting me.
And all this drama and seeing Terence is just making miss Albright so much. It hurt that Elise didnt tell me she quit WXAC... because when i come home her not being there will deffinately effect my life. I need to know these things. I miss America and knowing about how things work and how to speak the language.  AND I need josh time, we havent sat down and had a conversation since he left. its hard because we are both bad at talking on the interent. I just want his face. and I miss my parents, they rock.
AND on top of all that on out of my sensitive tooth toothpaste. my teeth still suck dispite the rootcanal.

BUT I am having a wonderful time. Paris was awesome, the night life is great. the art is absoltely unbelievable. I live in the city that the Venus of Urbino is in... FUCKING LOVE THAT PAINTING. The city is beautiful. I get to skip lines and go places for free with my Uffizi pass. really  sweet food. I've been doing SO much art because its just flowing out of me... and thats what I came here for the art.. I get to go to Austria on Thursday, and i'm doing great with my money dispite how much i spent the first month.

I have one friend that would go to shows with me but she was away last night when eagles of death metal played here and I was too nervous to go allone. but thats ok theres a bunch shows for me to go too when i get back to philly.

Im not gonna let drama ruin this for me.

this place is so good for art and travel but not so good for living and making friends

So did anyone even look at the awesomeness that was my last post?

Im at an internet cafe and my time is limited so heres how florence has gone thus far!
The flightes were awful, thank god i took a sleeping pill! i was pretty much on schedual when i got here! so I went to the hotel Boccaccio right near the train station. I met two of my roommates right away (Alex and Aly). HOurs later everyone had arrived and we all went out to dinner near the ponte vecchio, it was amazing and then we went ot a bar and just got to know eachother for awhile. after that many people went to bed but I stayed up and went out with a small groupwe went to a super lame club then a pub. Then I went to bed at 2 am only to wake up at 10am to go to my super amazing appartment! I will post pictures when i get the internet set up in my house. but it has 13ft painted ceilings and a ton of room. you can see the duomo from my bedroom window. its so magical. so went out with two of my roommates Felicity and Victoria. we got food and did some exploring. found a 1 euro store and bought a ton so stuff for the appartment. then all the roommate went to a music club called be bop and saw an oasis cover band. this bar was VERY american. but fun. late that night we went dancing and we didnt get back till 3am! everything is so late here! so today i went to my school and im very excited for the classes to start. 
i liove this city. Im still getting extremely lost but the place is small, ill figure it out.
peace 

I'm currently in the Newark Airport waiting for my flight! I'ts going to be long and boring then 3 hour layover then another flight, ill be getting to Florence at 1pm their time! oh boarding time! Later and updates during my layover i'm sure. leave me something to do when i'm there!

3. Please look at the previous requests as to not do repeats.
4. I'll snap the pictures and post them.

I got a Web Cam and a bruise hence this picture:

I slipped and fell hard on the way to the high school i'm doing my observations/early field experience at, AND THEN me and mike (the guy i carpool with) got the the school only to find out that there was a two hour delay. Well i should have guessed.

Early field is going well, I love my cooreperating teacher, I'm gonna learn so much. I'm getting really nervous about growing up and actually becoming a teacher. SO ill just go abroad to keep my mind off of that. I leave for Italy in 19 days, and its all i can think about. I need it to happen already because its hard to focus.

I did a drawing of a mermaid as a commission and I'm happy about it! I'll post a picture of it tomorrow and hopefully ill finish the mural that happening in WXAC's office and ill post that upon completion!

trying to make some last minute money for when I go abroad! so first things first!
