My name is Ashley.
I am a graphic design major at ASU, and it's a good place to be.
But more importantly than that, I am a self-proclaimed art nerd on a quest to discover my "style".

This quest is daunting enough for anyone, but it holds a special place particularly for me in my endless bouts of introspection.

I have always spent my time trying to please others somehow and fit into their expectations. As a kid, my main aspiration in life was simply to make my parents proud of me. In middle school and early high school, there was not a clique I did not try to fit in with. For a while, I even denied liking art to begin with because I didn't feel like anyone approved of it. I finally forced myself to admit it my junior year of high school. Everything on my dA account is from that time to current day. I've made progress, but I still have a long way to go.

In my gallery, you will find nothing in particular trying to seek something specific, near and dear to my heart. If you're not overly fond of consistencies, I invite you to float with me in my little universe.

1, 2... w00p w00p!

  • Reading: Making Girls Into Women - Kathryn R. Kent
So I'm back in Boone right now awaiting the start of the school year, and I felt like I should record current happenings in some way. I am sitting in my apartment (The Turret... a magical place) listening to [link]

Life is good.

At first, we moved into the apartment and there were a bazillion things wrong, some of which needed attention, some of which were more urgent than others. Among that was the rotting, sinking bathroom floor. Thankfully, John at the apartment office was able to get the repairmen in quickly and they're nearly done redoing our entire bathroom!! The shower drain is still clogged, but the floor is now straight, new linoleum has been laid, and we're getting a new vanity. The painters should come in sometime soon as well. Of course, it'll be a plain white bathroom, but eh... NEW STUFF YAY.

Also, I applied for a telemarketing job at Appalachian State, and my phone interview was yesterday. Generally, I'm pretty horrible on the phone, but I'm a decent actress and know how to manipulate the tone of my voice to sound professional yet sincere. And I'll be damned... I got the job! This is going to beat working in food services any day... I'm super-stoked about working with people who actually want to work where they are, and I'm also super-stoked about the extra money!

We still have no couch. This is unfortunate, but my roommate and I may go get a futon from Wal-Mart shortly.

I want to do some more art, but I haven't come up with any good ideas. I need to sketch more. I think a sketchfest is in order.

Our neighbors rule. Just saying.

I will be so happy when everyone moves back to Boone permanently. I miss a couple people. They know who they are.

And I can't wait for classes to start! Yay!
