Skinny Love - Bon Iver
I’ve never really considered doing one. I couldn’t stick with something like that—turning something you love into a daily chore just sounds awful to me. I don’t think I’d produce anything good that way.
Hm, I haven’t done anything conceptual in a long time, and I really haven’t been creating the photos that I’d like to. They’re just fragments. But later this year I’ll be getting into doing fashion photography, so my photos will be more focused, and it’ll be nice to have something to work towards, and then I can get some concepts going.
It’s really nice that you find something admirable in me.
My parents think it’s good that I’m not going to college, and they’ve really never expressed their opinion on what I do, or what they want me to do…they don’t even have an opinion on that, they never have. They know what my plans are, and they’re supportive of them. They don’t have any expectations. I find it weird that any parent would have expectations for what their kid does with their future. Expectations only make things worse, anyway.
There was definitely a blizzard last night…
didn’t think it’d happen.
I ran out into a field with my brother and a friend, in the middle of it, and it was totally insane. The snow was coming down so heavy, and running with the wind into this completely white abyss, was so unreal. Laughing and yelling and falling over. The snow made the night bright enough to find our way throughout the haze. We followed the road back, and were nearly blinded by the wind and snow that we were going against.
It’s really beautiful now. I went outside and took some photos this morning.

You’re the only dream
I have.
Reoccurring all the time.
I knew you once,
I know I did.
Anyone’s Ghost - The National
You said I came close
As anyone has come
To live underwater
For more than a month
You said it was not inside my heart, it was
You said it should tear a kid apart, it does
Didn’t want to be your ghost
Didn’t want to be anyone’s ghost
Didn’t want to be your ghost
Didn’t want to be anyone’s ghost
But I don’t want anybody else
I don’t want anybody else
I don’t want anybody else
I don’t want anybody else
I really do like Nebraska, and growing up here was the best thing. It’s a really homely and laid back place, and has definitely built up a lot of eagerness for me. So, it’s time to start doing some living somewhere else again, because the things I want to do can’t happen here. I was only planning on being back home for the winter, anyway. Texas made me love Nebraska a whole lot more…I hate Houston so much. I’ve been to Minneapolis every year for the past five years, so I know it pretty well and think it has enough to offer. Minneapolis just works.
