DRAWING THE MAPS TO MY SOUL: i frikkin hate hospitals

hello loves~

i am finally updating with the new post! woot! this is absolutely huge! 500+ photos!! yay~

ive been doing this all night and morning from the hospital. my mum had a seizure so she had to be rushed to the ER at about 2:30 AM on sunday. dont worry! shes totally fine now, just tired and sore. were waiting for her mri and eeg to happen. shell be totally fine with her new medications. oh and thanks to those who saw me ranting out on twitter and prayed for her :) all is good now. thanks for your worries.

which brings me to my next subject of talk. if you guys havent noticed yet, i have been using my twitter. a lot. a lot a lot. ha ha ha so you can follow me at http://twitter.com/MAPelliotsSOUL. ive gotten a lot of "my dashboard never tells me that you updated!" so now you will know immediately through twitter!

oh but quick question, am i the only one annoyed with guys with gfs having the wallpapers of their phones and ipods and whatever of other girls/celebrities (and the other way around)??

lulz

JULY: MONDAY THE 12TH

went to dinner with gorilla and uboat. havent seen uboat in forever since he moved away

*taken by gorilla*

gorilla himself XD

TUESDAY THE 13TH

i was texting artie when he suddenly asked if i wanted to go to china town to meet up with alice, julie, mark, and sean at like 2 or 3 in the morning. im always up for midnight adventures so of course i went :D

we just stood on the sidewalk talking for like an hour. they had just finished eating and were gonna go home but i suggested kareoke cause i didnt want to have gotten ready for nothing! so we went!

lulz sean is so into it

*taken by julie*

after kareoke and dropping sean and mark off at home, we went to mickey ds for me. i was STARVING! one of my many dreams is that a friend and i would go out and get food and eat it in the car real late at night. thanks to artie, that dream came true! yay~!

THURSDAY THE 15TH

so artie was making a video. his friends who were supposed to be in the video but they kinda pretty much bailed out on him. so he asked me to take their place. so the whole night starting from 11PM was spent shooting this video! im not gonna post it up cause i look absolutely disgusting in it. LULZ! but here are photos from the shoot

at arties restaurant

the one on the left is jack, the director, camera man, and fellow cast member. the one on the right is artie

setting up

the one in black is andrew. he helped filling in as camera man when jack was in the scene. he also was light man and helped where ever needed

yeah so jack just started modeling for me

lulz

its real but its a prop! so no worries! lulz

caught him! ahaha

it looks like im in a bar XD dont worries. were still in the restaurant

i wanted a group pictcha before we leave for the next site of the shoot!

testing

LULZ andrews face gets whited out!

at a theatre parking lot for the opening scene

oh my goodness! it was SO HOT in that skywalk cause theres no ventilation in there! it was a sauna!

i got bored while they were filming arties dance and andrew had left already. i look like ju-on! lmao

taking a break from the humidity

isnt it a little scary looking? like somethings gonna pop out?

we finished and i was starving. im always the most hungry and awake at 3 AM. i was craving hot dogs. the best part is the peppers! theyre so juicy! i gotta buy em!

doesnt look like much but it was really tasty!

eating in the car again

FRIDAY THE 16TH & SATURDAY THE 17TH

artie wasnt satisfied from the one night of shooting cause he missed some shots. we went to wicker park for ice cream first and then went back to his restaurant to finish up. i actually helped with the camera! :D

it looks plain but its super good~! all gooey with nutella too!

so there were these two big ass flies flying around and i was trying to kill em with the electric fly swatter. lulz i look so determined

so after that we went to our fave spot: mcdonalds and ate in the the car and artie brought up the beach so i came up with the brilliant idea of going there! cause it was like 4 already so we might as well watch the sun come up! :D it was SOOO PRETTY!

those rocks stacked by yours truly~ C:

wish i had a better camera to really capture how beautiful it was

doesnt this kinda look like a corona commercial? XD

another fellow admirer

난 너를 사랑해~ (i love you gir!l) 이 세상은 너뿐이야~ 소리쳐 부르지만 저 대답없는 노을만 붉게 타는데~

THURSDAY THE 29TH

orientation!

so one day, a mysterious little box came in the mail

i opened it and:

it turned out to be a little package from columbia. (columbia college chicago, the art school. not columbia university in new york! lulz) so i got an orientation booklet, course booklet, cool postcards, a sketchbook, stickers, and papers :D

so the reason i had to stay up the whole night was cause my orientation was scheduled for 8AM. yeah...takes almost 2 hours to get to the school by train so~ had to get to the station early. ended up walking for like 54 minutes to get there. but anyways~ i got there! early too!

more freebies

my breakfast there

waiting for introductory shtuff to begin while eating

just thought it was so cool! XD

blah blah blah orientation stuff. i was really excited at first and wanted to talk with people and make friends but i was too sleepy and cranky to talk to anyone;; ahahaha i was a loner all day

my lunch they provided as well

my id. better than any niles west id picture though XD ah but gosh. this is gonna be my first school where half the students arent asian. gotta learn how to talk to white people! LMAO!
