<-- bird, wire, post by basho. THIS ITEM IS NOT MADE BY ME !
i've decided to try to do consecutive things. something to be a constant. i failed with my self-portraits, but i'm going to try that again too. i think i'll have favorite fridays, where i'll post one of my favorite things from etsy, and self-portrait tuesday [self-explanatory]. i don't think i'll do them every week, but i'll try to do at least one once a week. but, sadly, my mind is overtaken by the amazing tv show 'lost,' in that, whenever i think of having a 'constant' i think of the episode where desmond is having extreme flashbacks/flash forwards and he needs to find a 'constant,' who ends up being penny. i love that episode. anyway, more on basho.
i'm a big fan of basho. i like how their screenprints are of birds, especially birds on wires because they're my favorite. they're just such a symbol of freedom for me. i love birds and i love trees, and i love how basho's clothing seems to capture such beauty in nature.
by the way, my little brother has burst a new obsession in me.. a cartoon show called 'pucca.'

watching excessive amounts of 'the office' is the best medication for everything and anything.
hahah, that's what i've been doing for the past few days. i hadn't watched it until around last week when i was just thinking, i should watch the office ! and now that i have started watching, i can't stop ! it is pretty much one of my favorite shows now ! them including lost, ugly betty and jon & kate plus 8, hahah. i don't know if i've fully expressed my deep love of jon & kate plus 8 here. that's one of my really bad obsessions, or maybe not so bad. i know all the kid's names and personalities and stuff, and their favorite things. those people are just so awesome. kate is just such a great mom and especially with all that stress, she just does so well and i admire her a lot for that. since around 8th grade i've always had this burning fear that i'd become like my parents. basically, ever since i saw the breakfast club and heard allison say that. hahah, but it is said often that you eventually will become your parents, but that's not what i want. primarily, i wasn't fully raised by my parents, more by my sisters, but when my parents did come into it, i just don't want to become that. but i guess maybe watching excessive amounts of jon & kate plus 8 helps. i've learned a lot from them. i wonder how long they're going to keep that show going.
but anyway, i'm excited because when i checked when the office is going to be on tv, i'm ahead of them so i can watch it ! hahahah, i know, it's dumb, but i don't have anything much better to talk about right now, besides my awesome fireworks pictures that i took using my camera's 'fireworks' setting. hahah.

<-- whale necklace, $7. I ONLY HAVE ONE LEFT SO GET IT WHILE YOU CAN ! it's the second to last day of school and everything seems so final. i hate how it's like everything is ending, but i'm happy next year will be like new. i just don't know what i want my summer to be. i guess i have options, but i don't know what i want exactly. i guess i'll find out when i should. i don't know what i want yet, or maybe i do. i feel like what i really want would never happen, or it could but it wouldn't end well. i don't know if i'm thinking to much or if i'm thinking correctly. everything is just kind of a big mess in my head. i don't know if i'm thinking straight, but i guess i don't like what i am thinking, but i can't change it. i wish i cared a lot less, but i just care the same amount anyway. it's just that every year i care less about friends and more about school, and i like that. maybe next year i'll successfully just focus on school. maybe i'll be a lot happier then.
i've been watching a lot of LOST lately. i'm watching the whole show over again. i'm still in season one. i'm just loving it even more everyday. everything is coming so fast. the end of LOST is also approaching and it's so strange because i feel like it has been on for so long. it's only been four years, and although four is a small number the amount of days is so big. i guess i never really noticed how much i've changed since i started watching LOST in 2005 [i missed the first season]. i was a totally different person then. i was goth and depressed with not that many friends. i mean, i had a few, but not as many great friends as i do now. now i feel like i know who my friends are and i'm not just trying to get by like i did in middle school. i don't have to be someone anymore because i'm just whoever. i'm not the goth kid or the punk kid, i'm just that kid. i don't really have a distinct identity or use, i'm just jamie. of course, people know me for different things and different ways and i'm still as exciting as i've ever been, if not more. i like where i am right now, sort of. i guess i'll just bring myself where life takes me. let the world pick where i'll go, so i can pick who i'll be. "let the world change you and you can change the world."

i'm so aggravated with myself right now. i lost my camcorder, and i still haven't found it. i lost it on friday in school. i have no idea where it is. i hate how i keep procrastinating things. i hate how things are all screwy for me, because of me and my dumb procrastination ! i think tomorrow i just need to really go and have some time to myself rather than just hang out during lunch. not time for myself as in sit alone, but as in go to the main office and see if anyone brought my camcorder there. i have to find it, i'm tired of living life in this anxiety i have. the second case of procrastination is concerning my summer job. i still haven't gotten a summer job and school is over in a few days. the little kids still have two weeks left, so i guess that isn't so bad, but i feel like such an ass. tomorrow i need to get stuff done. i don't know what i've been doing. i've just been an asshole procrastinator. and another thing, i've procrastinated is calling the nursing home to confirm my volunteering there over the summer and such. yeah, again i'll say i'm feeling like such an ass. other than that, i've just been watching a lot of LOST. i've been watching season one since i've never seen it before. i've been really intrigued by boone and shannon's story. it's so strange but it's so interesting. i thought boone was totally hot from the start but his conquering of his love for shannon was just a weird turn-on. he's so strong and when he shunned her, i felt so connected with him. it was like a high five moment. i love LOST even more now that i'm seeing the whole thing. i guess it was something i just needed to do. now i'm even more connected with all the characters and it's just such a great show. it's unlike anything else.
GO TO JAMIELETO.ETSY.COM FOR END OF SEASON SAVINGS ! with less than a month remaining of spring, i have added seven new items to the 'sale' section in my etsy shop ! sale items include : white shell necklace, picnic with squindle squee pillow, funfetti knit cap, mother necklace & more ! i've been watching the first season of 'lost' lately. i'm trying to compile a list of all the questions from the whole series so then i can look out for the answers.
i noticed that they still haven't answered anything about the polar bears, but i don't know, i guess you can assume it's another one of jacob's tricks. it's such a great show, so full of emotion. it sets off so much emotion. but i've also noticed that hurley has lost a lot of weight ! i've heard people say he has gained weight on the island, but when you look at the pilot you can see that he has definitely lost some weight. by the way, i love elloh's lost paintings ! check them out at elloh.etsy.com she has done locke, hurley, jack, sawyer and recently did kate. she has so much great stuff ! i love her new pride & prejudice prints as well. and by the way, palaver is almost done printing. i only printed four copies, but they're looking pretty cool ! i printed it on 100% recycled cardstock paper. although it is thick, i wanted to make sure it was what i printed on would be environmentally friendly.
i'm currently trying to decide what my summer project will be. i was thinking of either doing pop ! culture [which would be just a mass production of squeedros] or freskur [which would be environmentally friendly air fresheners, maybe among other environmentally friendly things]. the squeedro one would probably be the most tedious of the two, but i will definitely continue making squeedros, but i would probably take my time on them if i was to do freskur rather than pop ! culture.

shipping to california tomorrow ! yum. i think i should get a world map and mark off all the places i've shipped to, although the only international orders i've had have been to sweden and canada... i need some more.
today was interesting. our school newspaper came out and the article i wrote about etsy got in, of course. who can resist an etsy article? and although i only mentioned famous sellers on etsy, [for the sake of familiarity] hopefully it will add to the pool of buyers and sellers, even if it's just within my own school. but along with that came my sister's article about my etsy shop. it's fantastic publicity, i must admit, but i fear it's going to mean i'll have to work a lot harder and produce a lot more because a lot more eyes will be watching and critiquing, but i must admit that it is what i need. one of the qualities i greatly lack is the ability to accept criticism lightly without taking it to heart. i'm pretty good at faking it, but in reality, i'm not very good at accepting it. i like for things to be in line and for everyone to like what i do, although i know it's impossible. i need to create a lot more than i have been and i'm kind of upset at myself for not working to my full potential these past few weeks, with the exception of ap conference, which i must admit, i worked my ass off for all year.
other then that, all i need to talk about is the lost finale ! it was really great, but not as explosive as season three. [spoiler alert: from this point forward, if you don't watch lost and plan on it, are currently watching previous episodes of lost or watched lost religiously until last night cos you forgot, don't read on please !] i must say, when jin and michael died i did not feel as though jin had died at all. i don't know if i just haven't accepted the truth yet or if maybe he's not really dead, but either way, sun's actress was amazing ! i really love desmond and penny, so i was ecstatic and in tears when they finally reunited. i think desmond is one of my favorite characters of the whole series; maybe even my favorite. his storylines are just the ones i seem to enjoy the most and the ones that bring me to tears. plus, i really love his name. i didn't particularly love the whole 'ben moves the island' bit. i thought it was pretty dumb how he was moving this wheel and looking like he was constipated or something. i just didn't love it, but i'm sure the lost writers will explain somethin more about it to make me eat my words. but i did love the didgeridoo sound the island made before it disappeared and the subtlety of its departure. i can't believe there are only two seasons left. it seems like it's so close, yet, so far. that year is the same year i'm graduating from high school. couldn't be more perfectly timed ! lost is my favorite show ever ! but back to the finale, in terms of locke, i was just waiting for his eyes to open at the end ! he has died once before when ben killed him on the island, but now i don't want to believe he is dead either. he is just such a vital character to the show and nothing would be the same without his presence to cancel out jack's. i'm not jack's biggest fan, i've been a sawyer fan the whole time, but watching jack fall apart at the seams has been one of my favorite parts of the show since last season. lost is just so explosive, i love it so much !

i'm split in half. it's really weird. i don't know. today i had yet another field trip. i feel like i'm so behind in school since i missed two days in a row, although i had legitimate excuses for both days. i can tell i have a long night ahead of me... a night of nonstop homework and procrastination i should've gotten over with on my hour and a half train ride. i randomly started writing a story yesterday afternoon. i'm not sure where it was going exactly but i could tell i was in it. my subconcious was pretty much typing the words while i just seemed to move my fingers. i didn't really know what to expect of it at first, but now i think i'm just going to let it continue and see where it takes me. i just had this urge to write a story yesterday. it was strange. i guess i was afraid i'd forget my ideas. my memory has been getting worse and worse, it's to the point where i forget so many things. thank goodness i knew it was thursday today or i would probably be missing the LOST season finale, which would be equivalent to death ! but today i just had a lot of time to think things over. i'm not sure why i feel the way i do about certain people, when they're quite obviously not my type. i don't know where the attraction comes from, but i need to rid myself of it since i kind of have a new interest in someone more interesting. haha, i used the word 'interest' a lot in that sentence. but anyway, i'm just really tired i suppose. my blisters from yesterday are still burning hardcore, and since all i did today was walk, walk and walk ! it didn't make anything feel any better. all i can say is that i need a new shower cd and i need to sort out my feelings. i don't want to be all confused about everything like i am now. i don't even know how to feel and i feel as though it may be impossible for me to ever regain this consciousness of feeling. i'm confused.
<-- sage knit purse, $9.75. available at my etsy shop ! hello friends ! long time no see ! i took a mini hiatus cos of AP testing week and even though mine is next week i've been studying like a mad animal. i've been going to extra help sessions almost non-stop and have been copying notes, pages after pages out of the review book. i want a five so badly, i'm just afraid my memory will shatter me.
i had an off day today. i started out, freaking out. this morning i had an incident where i couldn't feel my hand. it was one of those things where you lay on top of a body part and it falls asleep, you know? so that started me off on a bad foot. the rest of the day, i was just stressing over the fact that i missed the end of ugly betty and a lot of LOST. ugly betty i missed cos my mom wanted me to help her with something, and of course my sister could've helped but she can't let me have my moment of ugly betty, and just gave up. so then, after being exhausted all day from life's events, i, alas, was too tired for LOST. in the end, i just fell asleep 20 minutes prior to the end, but i made up for it a few minutes ago, hehe.
i'll probably have short entries until may 15th, my AP exam. maybe i'll use this to help me study. i'll teach you guys about the world from 8000 BCE to now, but i'm currently not even up to 1450 CE in my studying, so let's see what happens. (:

<-- sage knit purse, $9.75 my first purse ever ! available now in my etsy shop ! just so you guys know, lately i've been trying really hard not to put any of my prices in the double digits. this is probably the closest i'll get, for now. until i find my niche, or something constant, i'll just be messing around here and there i suppose. i'm really desperate to find that one thing that i enjoy making, that i can keep making. i love knitting and i love sewing.. but it's just hard to find that one thing you were pretty much meant to make. i just feel so messy after reading one of the featured seller's advice about finding one thing to sell and keep constant, and about how a lot of people become unsuccessful because they like to dab into all these different things. i was just visualizing a television channel, dabbing into different things. i mean, it's like a channel that would show a child's cartoon one second, then a game show, then a sitcom, then a crime drama, then a reality show, then porn or something ! it's like, a mess ! so now i feel messy. i don't know if it's a rational fear or completely irrational but i feel totally lost right now concerning the state of my etsy shop ! but speaking of lost, lost is finally back tonight ! and i'm so incredibly super excited cos ugly betty is back also ! tonight is going to rock ! i'm going to knit and watch my two favorite shows ! yeah, i'm lame, but simple things amuse me. ^_^
i had such a sudden burst of ideology today. i want to make little plushies, finger puppets or just cases out of felt, but with different characters from films ! i definitely want to do the life aquatic, the darjeeling limited, casablanca, breakfast at tiffany's, little miss sunshine, once, pulp fiction, citizen kane, edward scissorhands, eternal sunshine of the spotless mind, i heart huckabees, pan's labyrinth, lost in translation, the list goes on ! it'll be so much fun, i can tell this is something i can have fun with and mix my love of film into as well ! i also want to do tv show characters like LOST or ugly betty ! and i want to do my idols or train wreck celebrities i have fun mocking ! i'm really excited now. this sounds like fun.
my main inspiration was elloh's etsy shop. she has fun with her favorite cultural icons and such. she paints them as she sees them i suppose, and they come out very adorable and very accurate in most. i love her eternal sunshine of the spotless mind, once and various breakfast at tiffany's paintings. she also has a cute life aquatic one that i enjoy. i just had a cute idea ! i think my summer store will be called POP culture. i have a good idea for a logo already. oh man ! i'm so looking forward to this. i thought i'd have such a problem transitioning out of THE LIFE AQUATIC but now it seems otherwise. contrary to belief, i will be continuing the life aquatic somewhat. i know i will have tons of aquatic type materials left and i do love doing what i'm doing, so yes, i will continue it and keep the life aquatic section until it thus chooses to be discontinued, but that will just depend on my subconscious and how i feel at that point. holy shit am i pumped !
i love when my mind just starts popping out ideas. it makes me feel so just, free and willing to experiment. i love when i have bursts of creativity. (:
