All my days, spend them with you

Oh, the Teets. Oh, Yellowstone. Here's just a few snapshots of my camping, hiking, boating, horseback riding, working-with-tourists adventures.

Here's some mini playlists that remind me of:

Those Grand Tetons:
1. Easier Grizzly Bear
2. Romulus Sufjan Stevens
3. No Cars Go The Arcade Fire
4. Great Big Whale  Johan the Angel
5. Another One Goes By The Walkmen

My Moon, My Man:
1. This Must Be the Place Talking Heads
2. Ambulance TV on the Radio
3. True Love Will Find You In The End Daniel Johnston
4. Prescilla Bat for Lashes
5. Soul & the Sea Joshua James

I miss him a lot. We'll be living it up in October, though, once my time here ends. Season closes for the piles of snow that are just threatening to burst from the sky next month.

I'm a long time feeling

I know the photo quality blows, but here's that poster I made with my very own graphic designer:

poster

Simple design, obvious message. The website still needs serious work. Hopefully this will attract the talent we need for the next issue to come out next year. This year, while the issue will look amazing, its content leaves a lot to be desired. Oops, did I type that out loud? I think I'm ready to graduate and end this student-editing soirée.

Wolf Like Me

I'll be working in Jackson Hole this Fall! I'll be an activities coordinator for the guests of the Jackson Lake Lodge--and better yet, they're paying me to go out on all the trips they offer prior to desk work so I can relay firsthand experience to the guests--rafting, hiking, camping, horse-back riding, Yellowstoning. I was able to get an interview thanks to my China friends who already work there. What a chance of a lifetime, I'm so excited.So, this means I'll be graduating in Winter instead, which is fine since my internship isn't until next summer anyway.

the actor

This isn't the photographer--the photographer is long gone. To put the story lightly, he was just so selfish, and could really drag his claws out on me if he was in the mood. I'm mad at myself for getting wrapped up in him for so long. I cut it off, once and for all. So here is the actor, my best-friend-since-March-turned-boyfriend. Being with him is such a turnaround from the photographer, I feel so happy and full all the time.  Declawing isn't even necessary.

You've got a face with a view

I don't really know anymore. I've made so many plans this year, some were bound to collapse. Or at least morph. I've switched so many things around: semesters, jobs, boyfriends, projects, pet names for my iPod.

Tomorrow I'm meeting with a graphic designer to create my vision for the new Outlet poster, which I want to look the way "Ego Tripping at the Gates of Hell," by the Flaming Lips sounds.

Did everyone have a good Fourth? I hope so.

The good times are killing me

Bachelorette Party: Success

Do the D.A.N.C.E.

I want to show off some photos of me doing something really hip and pretentious but I guess this will have to do:

sista sista

Sister Jaclyn! I'm currently preparing a disc for her of all the fun times we shared in Portland a weekend or two ago. Also, I'm prepping for the wild and crazy bachelorette party I'm throwing this Saturday for an old roomie. I bought thongs to hang on clotheslines, a feather boa for the bride-to-be, flavored condoms, and shot glasses with 50's themed cats on them (among other things). Good times ahead.

FYI, I'm graduating next semester (finally). Time to explain this internship expedition I keep alluding to: this October I'm going to NYC for a week--I'll be meeting with Random House, Hachette Book Group, and Simon & Schuster. It's basically a long, intimidating, competitive, and fun series of interviews. I'm excited as I'll get out, but the internships themselves are for next summer. That leaves me with an awkward empty winter semester, with nothing to do but work to afford my NYC time. But who knows, the photographer is graduating this semester and moving to Colorado--and has made no secret of his desire for me to join him. Who knows, who knows?

Heaven is a feeling I get in your arms

So it snowed yesterday. And today it's sunny as ever. Oh, Idaho, you and your summer antics.

What have I been up to? Well, honestly, I'm dating the photographer again. We saw Ghostland Observatory down in SLC together, a band he's apparently friends with, so I got to meet them after the show. Nice guys. And then I went to Portland for the weekend and had a BLAST. I miss my family, my friends, and stomping grounds oh so much.

Now I'm going to go out and enjoy the summer weather while it lasts. Oh, and Happy Friday the 13th! We're having a cliche scary movie marathon tonight to celebrate.
