It's Friday. Sassy Underpants Friday.

I swore (to myself) that this time around I wasn't going to be so ... flashy. Not so much tits & ass. But guess what? It's really who I am. It's what I do. It's ... natural, really.

This weekend will consist of softball and a pig roast on Saturday, and another trip to the apartment to try and get the rest of the crap out of there and either into storage or into the house. So much of what's left is rather useless, really. And it's all going to the Goodwill - except my shoes.

Yeah. This is me, waiting until bedtime to take today's photo. It's times like these that my old formula comes in handy: take your hair down, take your shirt off, and shoot. Pick something you don't hate. Post.

This was actually my very first shot. The universe likes me today, apparently.

I love t-shirts with obnoxious stuff on them. (See here for reference purposes).

This particular shirt was a birthday gift.

Thank you, Jen. xo

I hate taking photos on the ferry sometimes. I am so very self-conscious, especially when I'm taking shots of odd things, like fire alarms and rope. People look at me like I've completely lost my marbles.

When I think about it afterwords, I realize that I couldn't really give a shit what anyone else thinks. And I tell myself that the next time I whip out the camera and start taking photos of rusty sprinkler heads and long shots of rows of car tires, nobody's going to make me feel dumb for doing it.

And then I find myself laughing at the idiot with his cell phone taking a photo of the landing or something else stupid, and thinking, "what the hell is that idiot taking a picture of?"

I am a judgmental bitch, aren't I?

When my mood was high, I seemed normal, even buoyant. I felt smarter. I had secrets. I could see God in a light bulb.

We had all kinds of "being productive" type plans for today. That was last week, before we decided to just be lazy today.

I like this better.

Kierstin asked if she could color on my face. I believe she was shocked when I told her she could.

I might actually let her do this again. It made her irrationally happy, and the washable markers came off with just water.

First: I totally admit that this idea came about because I'm drunk. Without shame.

Second: I almost fell climbing up there. Twice. It was hilarious, trust me.

Third: There were other shots taken by parties that will remain nameless. With a cell phone. While I was bent over checking focus and setup. Yeah.

I am not a nudist. And I am going to be sorely disappointed when my woodpile becomes firewood.

One of the ideas I had for this project is to associate a word with each shot. So far, the word has come after I decide which shot to post. As I progress through this, I might pick a word and then try to associate... though I find that if I'm too confined like that I have a tendency to blow it off.

Yeah, I'm strange like that. The 'have-to' makes me all itchy.

My life is about balance these days. Finding equilibrium is infinitely easier when those around you are after the same thing. I have that now, and strive to keep it every day. Which is not nearly as hard as it sounds.

I totally forgot about the "blog this" option on flickr. It's awesome. So now I'm catching up on posting these first few entries from my 365.

Huzzah!

I could write something here. Something profound and meaningful. Something insightful and compelling. Something revealing.

Instead I'm just using adjectives.

I started a new 365 project. I might be insane, or I might just be really ready this time. I have no expectations, and nothing to prove. Except that I can finish.
