i got a new job + a new apt in chicago. WELCOMING CHANGE.
ohio has been an experience and i'm glad it is coming to an end! |

|
| can you get away? |

so i moved back to ohio 4 or 5 days ago. it happened so fast, i didn't even have time to think.
but here's what i will say about it: i feel okay. i feel like maybe this is meant to be. everything happens for a reason.
my purpose right now is in ohio. i need to be here. i'm not sure WHY, but i do. i'm getting a puppy and unpacking my things and getting to know my family again. i miss all of them!
chicago is home, in a way. i'm sure i'll be back. a year from now, maybe two, i won't spend forever in ohio.
but for now, it doesn't feel so bad (not to say it feels good either, but...) |

pictures from gaslight anthem/heartless bastards/the jordan years are up on flickr. http://www.flickr.com/photos/kaylawicker/. the show was great and i liked all three bands. i didn't have much time to actually enjoy the show, but i'd go see any of them again. i shot backstage for most of the show until gaslight, where i staked on a spot in front. overall, great time.
tonight i'm shooting brighton, MA at subt and tuesday the jordan years at reggies if i can get there in time! this week is hectic.
i have a few million photo projects due on wednesday and maroo gets in on friday. busy, busy, busy. |

i kicked off 09 w/ a nose infection from my nose ring, an allergic to the meds i was taking for my nose infection, food poisoning (thanks pot pan!), a cold, and a migraine that lasted 6 days.
all of this happened in the span of 4 days.
today is the first day i have felt human and tonight i am going to LBC. probably a really terrible idea, but it's the last night LBC is open. why is it closing? :(
i am still convinced 09 will be a good year. 9 more days until the spring semester starts. i miss my photo classes. excited to get back into the darkroom. |

| have you ever seen the things that go on outside? |

how have i barely been outside my apartment since friday? no classes until the 26th, no job. i guess i should be thankful i don't have to be out in the cold every day, but i'm just getting restless. |

was so weird. some of the best moments of my life this year. some of the hardest. i feel like i've done a lot of learning/growing up. i feel like i have so much more to do.
i am ready for 2009. i don't make new years resolutions, but i have a few things i plan to do better. |
|
|
| all i wanna do is love everyone. |

ive been posting a lot to my tumblr, but for some reason, i can't seem to abandon this livejournal.
i haven't slept a full night since december 23rd. no clue why, but it's 9:16am in columbus, ohio and i have yet to go to sleep.
i've only been home for 4 days and i'm ready to be back in chicago. home is a weird word. i am so fucking tired i'm probably making no sense. the only sleep i've gotten has been in naps, during the day, in intervals of 2 to 3 hours.
photographyserved.com is my new favorite website. can't stop refreshing. check it out for sure.
christmas was weird. it didn't really feel like christmas at all. i got all money from my mom, an ipod from my aunt, boots from my bro and clothes/money from my dad. in return, i didn't buy anyone anything. weak.
my eyes are closing on me, but i know the second i lie down, i'll be wide awake again. so not on. my mom is asking me to go to church with her in a few hours. i'd rather be anywhere else. i should probably go anyway.
jeff buckley is currently (always) my favorite. he's been my favorite since i was 12, but i feel like i'm re-discovering him all over again. grace on repeat. |

| lilac wine, i feel unsteady. |

i am feeling weird tonight and here are the things that i wish the world knew:
i've wanted to move to chicago since my 9th grade class trip. moving to chicago wasn't for anyone but myself. moving in with chelle was easy, awesome, good. she has lived in this apartment for 3 years, she wanted a roommate.
i can't explain why i still care, but i do. it continues to bother me that people would actually believe i moved to the city for a boy in a band i legit have never talked to, don't care about, wouldn't stop if i saw.
let's be honest. i'm not the one forking over thousands of dollars to said boy's band, traveling hundreds of miles to see them, talking to every dude in the band after every show.
i go for the music.
tonight i didn't even go. i felt uncomfortable. so thank you for effectively ruining a local band that i enjoy.
karma, i have to believe in it. |

last night i got my nose pierced. it was so random. lauren and i were talking on aim and i joked about how i wanted it done and the next thing i know, we're at insight studios and my nose has a ring in it.
bob jones from insight studios is def. the best piercer in the city. he did my lip & nose. go see him if you need a piercing.
this weekend has been really chill. which is cool, because next weekend should be crazy. people coming into the city for bday celebrations! should be fun. i can't believe it's december. i can't believe my bday is actually in 7 days. time flies.
i'm glad the semester is over & i'm trying really hard to stay positive. i love my friends and my life and i'm happy. rumors circulating about me bother me, but i try not to focus on it. as long as i know they're not true? that's the mindset i'm trying to stay in, otherwise, it'll drive me crazy. |
