Hey everyone -
I've been blogging here for over a year and I have decided to cross over to Tumblr. Actually, I created the whole new blog over a week ago (two weeks ago? I don't even remember) and I just haven't had the time/energy (read: I am a huge procrastinator) to do the whole switchover as of yet. Basically, the format is a lot easier and to be honest, I'm kind of over Blogger. For anyone who reads my tiny slice of the Internet, you can find me at http://goose98.tumblr.com. Once I figure out comments I'll definitely add them (contradiction of why I'm leaving?), but in the meantime feel free to email me at speedygoose98@gmail.com, google chat me, or AIM me at ... duh ... speedygoose98. I'm keeping every one of you in my Google Reader, so don't think this means goodbye in any way, shape, or form. If anything I'll be blogging more, so I guess in honor of this blog's name, I'll post the lyrics I took it from. Oh yeah - I'm going to keep the name. It's near and dear and what not.
Death Cab For Cutie - Crooked Teeth
It was 100 degrees as we sat beneath a willow tree whose tears didn’t care: they just hung in the air and refused to fall
And I knew then I’d made a horrible call and now the state line felt like the Berlin Wall
And there was no doubt about which side I was on
‘Cause I built you a home in my heart with rotten wood and it decayed from the start
And you can’t find nothin’ at all if there was nothin’ there all along
I braved treacherous streets and kids strung out on homemade speed
And we shared a bed in which I could not sleep at all
‘Cause at night the sun in retreat made the skyline look like crooked teeth in the mouth of a man who was devouring us both
You’re so cute when you’re slurring your speech but they’re closing the bar and they want us to leave
And you can’t find nothin’ at all if there was nothin’ there all along
I’m a war of head versus heart and it’s always this way
My head is weak and my heart always speaks before I know what it will say
And you can’t find nothin’ at all if there was nothin’ there all along
There were churches, theme parks and malls but there was nothing there all along

Lyrics On A Wall
Part of this weekend included drawing and painting the lyrics to I Will Follow You Into The Dark by Death Cab For Cutie onto the living room wall. Pretty BA, I know. The muscles in my forearm hurt a little from all the perfectionistic erasing and do-overs. It still managed to turn out pretty awesome.

Wise Words
“Don’t you think it’s better to be extremely happy for a short while, even if you lose it, than to be just okay for your whole life?”

Diamonds In The Sky
Tonight on my way in to work I looked up through my sunroof and saw the most beautiful sight: the sky was as clear as glass and there were a million stars. Of course, I had to do the "dart the occasional glance" dance with my eyes due to the whole driving thing (what a bother) but it was so peaceful and serene it kind of made me want to stop the car and just watch the sky for hours.
Mind you, it also reminded me of this one time my friend Jeremy and I ...
... don't be a perv, just read.
I used to be pretty heavy into photography back in college. You know, where there was use of a darkroom for free at all hours and film and supplies came at a supreme discount. Nowadays I can't get near any of it due to the fact that I'm damn near poor, but I digress. Anyways, I really wanted to try a time-lapse photo project for the next critique our class was having, so being the great friend Jeremy was, he agreed to go out into the wilderness (basically an unpopulated area of backwoods in Georgia by the high school) and sit in my Jeep with me whilst I tried out my new tripod and time-lapse photo technique. Run on sentence much? We should have taken supplies, because there were a few snafus with flashlights, giggles, and ghost stories - we ended up staying out there until sun up. We both got as scared as little girls, and I'm not going to lie and say that there weren't a few really high pitched screams either. He can tell some really scary stories, and I swear on everything holy I saw a Kimodo Dragon with a bull head run across the woods in front of us. Ok, so maybe I've been watching a little too much True Blood. (I'm on book 4 now, btw - woohoo!) The photo turned out great and my critique went really well. I'd scan it in but it doesn't show up really well on here. One day I'd love to have my own darkroom and really delve into photography again, but I digress...again - $$. In the meantime I'll have fun with digital and my friend Kelly, I'm helping her out every now and then and she gives me lots of great tips - check her out!
Point? Take time to stop and appreciate the beautiful things that you see around you. Not often do you really get to see them. Cue warm fuzzies.
