I am sure that many blogs are starting out this way, being it the new year. Go ahead and add me to the list of cliches... to the groups of people who make promises to themselves, hoping they can find the strength throughout the year to keep them. Like many, I would just like to forget that this past year happened. Too many unsatisfying things happened to me personally, in which I would like to forget. However, life isn't that forgiving. We can't erase our memories containing detrimental events, we have to live with them, but what we don't have to do, is dwell on them. I like to keep mine tucked away behind favorable memories that cast a shadow on the others. No matter how far away they are hidden, a light is always destined to fall upon them, reminding us of an important lesson they served. Some days though, I wish I could just escape that light and leave for Montauk.<br /><br />I moved to Seattle by the way... it's amazing here. The weather fits my personality more than any other place I have lived. Blaine is working for Nintendo and I will be freelancing with MAC still. I am looking into getting another job on top of free lancing, so that I can start school in the Fall. I want to go to school to become a clinical psychologist... at least that's the present goal. To be honest, I am not really sure where my life is going to take me, but I suppose no one really knows that. What I do know, is that I want to stay hungry for life and not lose my appetite as so many of us in life do. I don't want to be the one smiling for family photos, while hiding a dark secret... that secret being a feeling of personal failure. I want to be successful in my life and I don't necessarily mean financially. I guess to make it simple, is that I don't want my fire to ever burn out. This past year, it's been flickering so expeditiously that I was convinced it would eventually go out, but it didn't. There was still that, light at the end of the tunnel if you will and that tunnel was Seattle. My light isn't back to where I would like it to be at the moment, but I am going to work on getting it there. I need to remember what I was doing at the time is shone the brightest. That's what brings me to my aspirations for the year.<br /><br />Living in stress is the first thing that needs to go. I was constantly surrounded by it last year and this year, I refuse. I refuse to submerge myself in that pain again. The move to Seattle will change a lot of things, that will help myself come up for air, out of this sea of stress. The first thing being financially. Some unfortunate events unfolded last year that put me in a bind. I got in over my head and had no way out. I can't let that happen again. The next thing is getting healthy again, which I couldn't afford much last year. Even working out while eating unhealthy, just makes my body feel horrible. However, when all you can afford is the cheapest of the cheap at Wal-Mart, you can't be too picky. Luckily, this year, that should change. I am going to start working out again. When I worked out on a daily basis a few years ago, I never felt/looked better. I want that energy back, that drive! I've got a few friends in the same boat as me... one of my friends recently turned to vegetarianism, which I fully support and think is wonderful. Another one of my friends, started a health blog that will follow her workout routines, a long with meals for the day. It's much easier knowing you have support from others... and knowing you're not alone. <br /><br />Getting into school will be the next thing, but for right now I need to start small and work out a few other things first. I have to start looking for us a place to live. Well, let me clarify... I've looked, we just need to decide and figure out financially when and where will work best. We're currently staying with family and as much as I appreciate them for welcoming us into their home, it will be nice to have a place to call home. I feel like we've been so on the go, bouncing from place to place, that we haven't had the chance to just sit down and take a breather. All day, I'm looking for places to live, figuring out finances, figuring out school, etc. Although, Blaine and I have definitely been getting into Battfield Company 2 a lot lately. =)<br /><br />And then there's Blaine. What would I do without him? He's my "rock". I wouldn't have been able to survive a lot of things without the warmth of his heart reassuring me everything would be ok. Our 4 year anniversary is in a month... I can't get over how time flies. <br /><br />“What we call the beginning is often the end. And to make an end is to make a beginning. The end is where we start from.”Tabitha Daniellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01650223993785563073noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-229586621328544523.post-41318448903769288202010-01-07T14:18:00.000-08:002010-01-07T16:27:35.566-08:00Vegas<i>It took me awhile to post anything about Vegas... I'm just really quite lazy when it comes to uploading photos and resizing them. We took a lot of pictures while we were in there, however a bunch of them turned out blurry because it was so bright and windy! I'll just upload a few here that turned out ok. We had such a blast though! He took me for my 21st birthday... we went September 3rd 2009. We stayed at the Luxor which was a nice hotel, but we got pretty unlucky because they booked us into one of those rooms that has a door in the middle that goes to the next room... Of course the people in the next room were a bunch of drunks who partied until 7am and were screwing women left and right. The walls were thin and we heard it all... it was awful. Other than that, Blaine and I had a good time. We mostly walked the strip and went into all the different hotels to see what they were like. We also watched the Bellagio Fountains show, it truly is beautiful and a sight to see in person. We also did some gambling and drinking in our hotel's casino. We were really good about it though, we each had $40 bucks and that was our limit. We played the penny slots and so the $40 lasted quite a long time. I had the most luck on the Happy Days and Jaws slots! We didn't play cards or anything like that... not cool enough I guess.</i><div><i><br /></i></div><div><i>All in all, it was a wonderful trip and nothing got too crazy =) I'm not sure I like Vegas too much though, it's just not really my scene. I've never been a heavy party person... nor have I ever really been into strippers so.... hahaha </i></div><div><i><br /></i></div><div><i>Anyways, here are some pictures!</i></div><div><i><br /></i></div><div><i><br /></i></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLWu3v0B-aomFAw0hPQ0Mg8l9ScrO1JTJ92kWpIoICx8gY7tsVcSM3NumFTCPLu7kX78x1_dUZh8SVaj96JTRIpPydVxcW92pO7_7v6rKxVHNoPXS5Hbd-llOvOq7Cf3m1YPre_s8egmg/s1600-h/tab+new+york+new+yotk.JPG"><img style="display:block;

New Beginnings... New Outlook<i>I wish I was one of those people who wrote in their blogs every day... I also wish I was one of those people who actually others READ her blog, giving myself a reason to write...</i><div><i><br /></i></div><div><i>Anyway, on October 30th, 2009 I started my new job with M.A.C. cosmetics. It's a place that I have wanted to work since I first walked into the store at age 15. I will never forget the first thing I bought there... it was a Smolder Eyeliner pencil... and that started it all. I've always loved makeup, but not really in the way most girls do. I was about creating art on my face and experimenting with colors. I love that I get to do this every day, I am so happy that my job involves art. There is also a retail side of it, but that's only temporary. I am going to work my way up and become a senior artist. I feel so lucky to have a job so young, that I actually love. The only thing I hate about it, are the politics that come with it. It's better than working somewhere like a call center, where I am just wasting my life and time. There are a lot of perks that come with job... the biggest one being the free makeup of course. Every so often, we launch new collections and we get 3 or 4 free pieces (eyeshadow, lip pencil, lipstick, gloss, etc.) from the collection. We each have our little box in the box and there's nothing like walking in and your box is full of free makeup! =) I also got my staff card today! That means I get 60% off now. It's a very generous discount, but we're required to wear so much of their stuff, that it can really add up. I love my job and am excited about where my life may be going. =)</i></div><div><i><br /></i></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhu2-K7ZbqL_FZI54-uuA6WWc0EgiMLMUD1IwNIzZtl9WkdGgOkzP6PXqcvX2iGZhNa6rU69pXue47Q70YDHzYtivLRTxdEyunU5pcsVQfDuupYl6E362F6jX4CZGukYhhlmmiB2V8A71A/s1600/dita.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 218px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhu2-K7ZbqL_FZI54-uuA6WWc0EgiMLMUD1IwNIzZtl9WkdGgOkzP6PXqcvX2iGZhNa6rU69pXue47Q70YDHzYtivLRTxdEyunU5pcsVQfDuupYl6E362F6jX4CZGukYhhlmmiB2V8A71A/s320/dita.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5406802451725140770" /></a><i>Other than that, things have been going about the same. Blaine and I are just gearing up for Thanksgiving which is this Thursday. My family is coming over to our apartment and I'm so excited to cook! Cooking is one of my favorite things to do, so of course, Thanksgiving is right up my alley. We also just bought Left 4 Dead 2 and the New Super Mario Bros. for the wii, so I'm pretty sure I know what we'll all be doing that day =) </i><div><i><br /></i></div><div><i>I recently got into a new show called Glee... it's about kids in High School who are in Glee club. I love the music the most on the show. I'm actually listening to the CD right now that Blaine bought me. He's such a sweetheart, listening to it, even though it's not quite his cup of tea. He's definitely a keeper and I'm so lucky to have him. We're on our third Thanksgiving together this year! It's so crazy! Time certainly flies when you're having fun. =)</i></div><div><i><br /></i></div><div><i><br /></i><div><i><br /></i></div></div>Tabitha Daniellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01650223993785563073noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-229586621328544523.post-56003423413681626702009-08-18T02:47:00.000-07:002009-08-18T02:55:32.797-07:00EXCITED<span style="font-weight:bold;"></span><br /><i>This is going to be a very short post, but I just wanted to say that I am very excited for things coming up.<br /><br />Blaine is taking me to two shows coming up in the next two weeks... the first one is Vedera, which is actually a free show that they're taping down at Smashbox Studios for MTV.<br /><br />Then, on the 29th Blaine is taking me to see Katy Perry in Hollywood, as an early birthday gift. I wanted to see her the last time she came to Hollywood, but she sold out.<br /><br />Then, it's my 21st birthday on the 3rd of September and Blaine is taking me to Vegas! We're staying at Luxor and really have no plan of what we're going to do.

I started Special <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">FX</span> last week and it has been non stop work. I'm sculpting out a Locust Drone from the game, Gears of War. I am really looking forward to this, because it's going to be the icing on the cake. Special <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">FX</span> will be last class before I go into beauty, so I want to make it count!</span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">To catch up, I did a zombie for my prosthetics piece. The process of this piece was as follows:</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">-I created a life cast of the person I am going to be applying my prosthetic piece onto.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">- I then start to sculpt out my piece using clay, onto the life cast of that person. That way, once I sculpt it, it will fit them perfectly.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">- Once I have completed my sculpture, I make a foam latex piece out of it, using... foam latex.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">- Once you make the foam latex piece, it is time to apply it onto your model/actor.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">- You now bring that piece to life, by painting it, adding blood, etc.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">It sounds easy, but it takes a few weeks to complete.

We had coffee almost every night and it was awesome. I love sitting on the streets of LA, people watching. I want to know <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">everyone</span> story, I want to know where everyone is going. Everyone is always going somewhere. We also got my very belated (2 years) senior pictures taken. I definitely enjoyed the day of pampering! I got my hair done, very Dita/40's style at <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">Haiiroin</span> salon. Simon is amazing! He's into video games and horror flicks, so that's all we talked about while I was getting my hair done. He did such an awesome job and their salon is adorable. It's very vintage with <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">Victorian</span> couches and huge mirrors. They also have champagne Fridays where they give you free champagne and style your hair for 20 bucks! I'm definitely down for that once I get some free time. For Easter, we went and ate at The Cheesecake Factory. It was delicious! I also got a crock pot, which means I am finally able to make <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">Jamee's</span> chicken recipe for burritos! Actually, I made them tonight... and they're <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">soooo</span> good! Thanks <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">Jamee</span>!

It was so nice! Since I've moved here, I haven't met a whole lot of people my age. Once I got started at school, they were all pretty close to it. We went to Chili's in West Hollywood. We had to drive through Beverly Hills and the paparazzi were stopping traffic! They're such <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">douchebags</span>. Honestly, with the stuff they pull, it's extremely illegal. They block traffic, double park, stalk, etc. It's annoying as hell, I can't imagine how that celebrity feels. </span><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">Blaine and I are going to be planning a beach day soon. The weather was extremely nice for 3 days, and then BOOM! It's back to 60 degree mornings/nights. We want to go back to the Santa Monica Pier at night. It's absolutely gorgeous at night! The amusement park is lit up and... oh my goodness, you just have to see for yourself!</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">We've been playing Doom a lot lately as well, it's been so much fun.

It's so ironic, because every time we wanted a vacation in Arizona, we thought of California. Who doesn't? California is definitely good for short, mood-altering vacations, but we want a big vacation. We have talked about traveling and have decided that we want to do as much as we can before we settle down... if we ever do! We're so rambunctious and want to see so many things! We want to go to Japan, London and Canada. Getting into Canada will be a breeze, seeing as I am from there. We actually plan on moving there one day. Blaine has never been to Canada, but wants to go. It's so different there, yet so much the same. If you go to a place like Nova Scotia, you just never want to leave. It's so gorgeous there... Oh how I wish I were there right now. We haven't really decided where we are going to go first, but we're working on it. In the meantime, we're just going to stick to little weekend getaways to the beach and Universal Studios (season passes!) </span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">Blaine also started his new job today with Activision. I miss him so much. His schedule is pretty much split between Avanquest and Activision. In total, he works from 7am to 2 am.... crazy! It was his decision to work both jobs. We've been comfortable with money, even while I'm in school. I can do jobs on the side and I also had money saved before quitting my job. Some days I just feel like such an adult, but then others... I sit at my counter at school, stare at the Hollywood sign and look at my zombie creation and feel so fulfilled. I'm loving this choice of "career". I get to be so creative and judged only by technicalities that will only strengthen me as a makeup artist. Blaine also feels a sense of more comfort starting with Activision. It's going to be tough for awhile, but we've been to hell and back in our two years... knock on wood... we have overcame it all gracefully. For awhile it felt like we weren't going anywhere in our lives... I mean, what kid doesn't feel that way at one point? It's like, I'm 20, still doing tech support, working a 9-5 job (technical term because I actually worked 4pm-1am) and doing nothing? The best thing I have had throughout this whole experience has been my family and Blaine. Well... Blaine pretty much is my family at this point. =)</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">I don't usually open up this much, I'm usually quite the private person. With Blaine being gone, it can get lonely, so I am lost in my own thoughts, then they make their way onto this blog. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">All that I know is, I am truly happy at this moment. Come in a couple of months, I will be even happier... but I can't let that surprise out of that bag yet! Oh and no, we're not getting married. OH! And I'm not pregnant either. Haha, I just felt that disclaimer was appropriate, I didn't want to give anyone a panic attack out there. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">Seeing as I only allow my friends to read this, I hope everyone is very happy. I hope that everyone can find comfort in the little things we so greatly take advantage of at times. Whether you're single, married, in a relationship, there are always people around you that make the hard ships float away. The sooner we all recognize that, the better off, we all may be.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><br /></span></div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh49hb7hHyRdmZOrssTB5cS69y-58d1PN4dBBEpBCq37twxa8tn46VbqiufkM202V0qPWA1R8VWJq_mBiHC0pcEZAjmESSQY_7oWv6E0rTvyjBEPmwLRbsI8zKQF5pimZiDVBb-CuqcVBs/s1600-h/Photo+16.jpg"><br /><br /><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh49hb7hHyRdmZOrssTB5cS69y-58d1PN4dBBEpBCq37twxa8tn46VbqiufkM202V0qPWA1R8VWJq_mBiHC0pcEZAjmESSQY_7oWv6E0rTvyjBEPmwLRbsI8zKQF5pimZiDVBb-CuqcVBs/s320/Photo+16.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5317006990640367490" /></a><div><div style="text-align: center;">We Can be Serious...</div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKsqFQZD7idWirLTAKo4a51PG0_Vew_fhHiBNSAs3WrYuIhcEWC78ui-XSXPteRJdBkxOrkYRNZHNK01lpYl3WtMoIjgSdHbL_xcBNcJw4mN88rb8rnonRt5vXO0qFdq_Xadj3xdj_t28/s1600-h/blainetabithablackwhite.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKsqFQZD7idWirLTAKo4a51PG0_Vew_fhHiBNSAs3WrYuIhcEWC78ui-XSXPteRJdBkxOrkYRNZHNK01lpYl3WtMoIjgSdHbL_xcBNcJw4mN88rb8rnonRt5vXO0qFdq_Xadj3xdj_t28/s320/blainetabithablackwhite.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5317006981138235474" /></a><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">P.S.

I guess my Dad was having some chest pains and numbness in his chest today. He called 911 because he couldn't breath. The paramedics came and said his vitals were looking <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">ok</span>, but they wanted to take him to the hospital to check blood, x-rays, etc. My Dad got to the hospital and was joined by the family, except for me unfortunately, I am out in Cali. =( As soon as I got out of school, I answered all of the messages that were waiting for me... 'pops is in the hospital, having heart problems.' When I called him, he seemed like he felt better, in fact, he told me so. They put him on some heavy <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">meds</span> as he awaited the results of all the testing he had done. It turns out, he had a mild heart attack. They want to keep him overnight to ensure that he doesn't have another one. It's just so scary, my Dad is going to be 57 in July, but is a pretty healthy man. He is doing well now, but I am just on pins and needles. I hate that I can't be there and I also hate that if something were to happen (God forbid), then I would be out here in California. Even if I jumped on a plane, what if it were soon enough? I'm just hoping and praying everything turns out <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">ok</span> in the end. As I said earlier, as of right now, he is doing well. We will have to wait and see if anything else arises from this.</span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">On a different note, school has been going very well. This week was by far the best week ever! It was all black eyes, scars, wounds, zombies... you name it! Horror is one of the biggest reasons I got into this. I've always loved horror and probably always will. Zombies take the cake for me. I just love how they look, from Danny Boyle's 28 Days Later, all the way back to Romero's Dawn of the Dead. There is just something about them that has always fascinated me. Yesterday, we had to do our Final Exam. The final usually consists of a written and then a practical. For the practical, I had to do two black eyes (one immediate hit, one healing), an old bruise, scratches, scars, fresh cut (made out of wax), a bullet hole (also made of wax), and road rash (a scrape you would get from falling on pavement). Here are some pictures of my final:</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">Finished Look<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdmTnSV3osgw8vfiwjIi38vZbSaKsgU3CLuCRag-7NUNU9IQwglngM7vF9ChnzB2No0CwWBa87ZWuShdEtVToJdvhlI68teWyBbAOdFQT35o2OvrV0zXfrt3o1b9XtOVo4KSj6LsVaMmo/s1600-h/characterfinal.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdmTnSV3osgw8vfiwjIi38vZbSaKsgU3CLuCRag-7NUNU9IQwglngM7vF9ChnzB2No0CwWBa87ZWuShdEtVToJdvhlI68teWyBbAOdFQT35o2OvrV0zXfrt3o1b9XtOVo4KSj6LsVaMmo/s320/characterfinal.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5315490123280760642" /></a>Bullet hole, black eyes<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWhokZ-PaYx3190E3uowAA-cc2zdTx85BPQ0cMO8QLI2Kdf_bFDJpGqiwNj0JYuFoj37lXf2M2coQ9wrAuZBD0zzbmjcsdGe5QKU-1reFalcGVdVhpXM0FGRWb31engf7_HzDeIvF3kJ4/s1600-h/characterfinalface.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWhokZ-PaYx3190E3uowAA-cc2zdTx85BPQ0cMO8QLI2Kdf_bFDJpGqiwNj0JYuFoj37lXf2M2coQ9wrAuZBD0zzbmjcsdGe5QKU-1reFalcGVdVhpXM0FGRWb31engf7_HzDeIvF3kJ4/s320/characterfinalface.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5315490123183155970" /></a>Fresh cut (the one bleeding), scratches, and scars<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTGIcu_MbAjtmova9tY5ibmg1vN-EHK-QqJRS1MTpcFr4dd0bptTmDybj9jk6Qly0ogRQNfM8hnk1mB2cGJfqiZZEPqy0PvgPm1t-W0RRjU-GBEGAp8u9Tsv26u7ufOSybQaFhFzuBVAc/s1600-h/characterfinalscars.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTGIcu_MbAjtmova9tY5ibmg1vN-EHK-QqJRS1MTpcFr4dd0bptTmDybj9jk6Qly0ogRQNfM8hnk1mB2cGJfqiZZEPqy0PvgPm1t-W0RRjU-GBEGAp8u9Tsv26u7ufOSybQaFhFzuBVAc/s320/characterfinalscars.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5315490123258140626" /></a>Road Rash<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUDd5fLMW63t61XMmT87DywF00L1eKf362kQqyBXJmh34Ek5-blhPEi_TaX-bX5mKw114-qn8RGT6GXazFO3E3IcIf7shf98xPgTwTHXPUaMnR9JyBU2NBc43uZs9_lgpRD-ZLUP3IASs/s1600-h/characterfinalscrape.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUDd5fLMW63t61XMmT87DywF00L1eKf362kQqyBXJmh34Ek5-blhPEi_TaX-bX5mKw114-qn8RGT6GXazFO3E3IcIf7shf98xPgTwTHXPUaMnR9JyBU2NBc43uZs9_lgpRD-ZLUP3IASs/s320/characterfinalscrape.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5315490122243447378" /><br /></a></span></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">Today was our character competition.

I would have loved to do a zombie or something along those lines, but I had to do things I could get done in 2 hours. I also had to make sure those things would make sense.

I almost forgot! Blaine got another job! He is going to be working for the video game company, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Activision</span>. They make Call of Duty, Tony Hawk and some other cool games. Blaine is still going to keep his day job, working 7am- 4pm, then heading to Activision</span> and work 5pm-2am. We talked for a long while about him doing this. I told him that I supported him 100%. It's going to suck not seeing him for awhile, but in the end I believe it will benefit us. It will definitely be better for Blaine, because this a job he has wanted for so long. He will be working his way up to gain more projects and more <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">notoriety</span>. The extra money will be nice, we plan on just putting it in a savings to see where that takes us. I just hope that he can move up soon, that way he will make enough money to quit the other job also. It isn't just about the scheduling, but he doesn't like what he does at this other job... it's just a job. When we go to E3 in June, he is going to network himself to see about getting jobs. I am so excited for him!</div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">I will also be at the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">IMATS</span> this year. The <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">IMATS</span> is a convention they hold in LA, Toronto, London and <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">Australia</span> for makeup. It's basically the Comic-Con of makeup. It's going to be so exciting to meet all of these award winning makeup artists. The panel from the new Star Trek movie will be there, which is really awesome. I'm not a fan of Star Trek, but a lot of the makeup in that movie looks sick! <br /><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">Other than all of that, there really isn't a whole lot going on with us right now. We're just taking things day by day and enjoying it. We're both starting to feel more comfortable, knowing we're actually doing something for ourselves. We have been this whole time though, so I guess a better way to put it is... we feel as though we have a better sense of direction for ourselves.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">=)</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><br /></span><br /></div>Tabitha Daniellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01650223993785563073noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-229586621328544523.post-24647432719689314352009-03-09T18:24:00.000-07:002009-03-09T20:05:10.795-07:00Bald Caps<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">So, the topic last week at school, was bald caps. We learned how to make them and apply them. We started the week out by making latex bald caps. We then learned how to apply them onto our models. After that, we learned how to apply plastic bald caps. Plastic bald caps are much easier, seeing as the sides don't tear and they don't get holes in them. On Friday, I had my final for bald cap week. I had to take a written test as well as a practical... yet I didn't have a model. We usually use each other in class as models, but there were 2 girls absent meaning my partner was not there. We were scrambling around trying to find someone, but to no avail. I decided to call Blaine, who was at work. I asked him if he could come down to be my model, to save me from receiving an Incomplete or having to retake it at the end of the course, which by then... I probably will forget how to do it. Blaine talked to his manager and he was kind enough to let him come out to Hollywood from Calabasas to help me with school. </span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">The process:</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">I first had to get Blaine's hair down by using gel and bobby pins.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">I then fit the cap to his head. I glued the front, the back and then the sides down.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">I then have to take a Q-Tip and 99% alcohol and go around the whole cap to blend the edges.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">Once that is done, I paint it. The paint itself takes 30 or so minutes just to mix. You have to make sure that it matches your models skin color exactly...or at least pretty dang close.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">So after I painted the cap, I blended the edges, added a bit of water and powdered the cap. The end result:</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><br /></span></div><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjo-ollMzvIePt9uhhLmAoQFtoqWTqRyg6DsEaE7dcM2iTt9IA9FyMC3U9HNejdx-JGwWn1nF1vUSJgUzLHRBNt5Rwy4mrQ3cV_9HnNRaAQtdPEQsHn0qhNpiIOuwOC9YFA_sUTqullk1I/s1600-h/blainebald1.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjo-ollMzvIePt9uhhLmAoQFtoqWTqRyg6DsEaE7dcM2iTt9IA9FyMC3U9HNejdx-JGwWn1nF1vUSJgUzLHRBNt5Rwy4mrQ3cV_9HnNRaAQtdPEQsHn0qhNpiIOuwOC9YFA_sUTqullk1I/s320/blainebald1.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5311387773722231282" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7I_hW3GsMcAeMTpOKXHh0sPH0Jwcy1rz0vTICnrv9IHaJtSChi7bS2Wtray9NEl_dJBs3UXBkogZyT0zxeoi9S5x_OU9-JMq5hwaQVvRmaWNlkaKuqklN2mJxEAUQJP9Jf8jYc1uP3gI/s1600-h/blainebald2.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7I_hW3GsMcAeMTpOKXHh0sPH0Jwcy1rz0vTICnrv9IHaJtSChi7bS2Wtray9NEl_dJBs3UXBkogZyT0zxeoi9S5x_OU9-JMq5hwaQVvRmaWNlkaKuqklN2mJxEAUQJP9Jf8jYc1uP3gI/s320/blainebald2.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5311387775501817186" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhd9CUrWLCSrtCMNaLVzFZ95S2Eb4PZ2wwHH9SFX3cyGfr5_9js5ywc7CgB56K0zhoQkYZCQgdxPUDs4yhQtnos88MTYJEsoz42oQqx1sIjKzMFqSq1xjusYQkWudhJqoFp9VPaaz8pjWQ/s1600-h/blainebald3.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhd9CUrWLCSrtCMNaLVzFZ95S2Eb4PZ2wwHH9SFX3cyGfr5_9js5ywc7CgB56K0zhoQkYZCQgdxPUDs4yhQtnos88MTYJEsoz42oQqx1sIjKzMFqSq1xjusYQkWudhJqoFp9VPaaz8pjWQ/s320/blainebald3.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5311387777084566450" /><br /></a><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">This week we are doing Old Age. We use prosthetics and makeup to make people look old. I didn't go to school today, because of my ears. I woke up Thursday morning with a terrible ear ache. I couldn't hear anything and there was blood/discharge coming out of it! I went to Urgent Care and it turns out I have an inner and outer ear infection in both of my ears. They put me on Amoxicilan, Vicodin and two sets of ear drops. They're getting better, but it is still painful.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">Blaine and I were going to go have a picnic at the Griffith Observatory yesterday, but we couldn't because of my ears. On Saturday though, we had a really good day...</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">It started out by me making biscuits and gravy with hashbrowns. Then we got ready and walked down to Nigel's Beauty Supply to get some stuff I needed for school. After that, we walked to Walgreens so I could pick up the last of my ear meds. Then, we drove to Burbank Town Center. We ate lunch at Chipotle and then saw Watchmen. I didn't like it at all. There were some good parts to it, but as a superhero movie, I gave it 2 thumbs way down. When the movie was out, we walked to Coffee Bean so I could get a coffee and then we went to Haagen Daaz so Blaine could get a milkshake. We came home and played Katamari for the rest of the night and fell asleep together on the couch.......holding xbox controllers! haha</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">Blaine is going to make us Snickerdoodle cookies tonight.

We went to Fresh and Easy, which is our favorite place. They have a lot of really interesting recipes and already made meats. For example we bought pork chops stuffed with apples and cinnamon. We were hesitant, but figured we would try something new. I'm going to make a new recipe that I found online. It's chicken breasts stuffed with feta cheese and you pour marinara sauce over it once it's cooked. Right now, Blaine is making us Hawaiian Haystacks. It's a recipe that his mom has used for ages. It's white rice with cream of chicken poured over it. On top of that, you put <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">mexican</span> cheese over it, add pineapple and crunchy noodles on top. You can also add chives and onions too, which makes it really good.

It's so cool there. The people are really awesome and the teachers are so cool. They also have all kinds of cool movie props/creatures. The director of the school helped create <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Gollum</span> from Lord of the Rings, so they have the actual puppet displayed in the school. We also work on what are called '<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">tuffy</span> heads'. Basically what they are, are molds of peoples faces placed on sticks. They're made of foam rubber so we can work on them instead of models if we need more practice. The cool thing is, we have a bunch of different actor's molds and I got to work with Brad Pitts. It was so strange, but really awesome. Speaking of Brad Pitt, the makeup artist who just won the Oscar for Benjamin Button, will be coming in to the school in a couple of weeks to speak to us. He also did the upcoming Watchmen movie... I have so many questions.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">I'm starting off in the character class. I will pretty much be doing hair work, bald caps, aging makeup (making people look old) and also doing bruises/injury simulation. My first week consisted of hair work. We started with doing mutton chops, moved into goatees and then did a full beard. Here are some pictures of the work I did. Keep in mind that the way the hair is applied strand by strand. It's very tedious, but it's so much fun. Here are some pictures....</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><br /></span></div><div><div><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">Right Side Mutton Chop Small</span><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPmKaz5tzrN0yw52E89CRlmmiGySTbORvs8CDqJ-zKYrCQUbim_Q-xY6hQrz0rFxPk83y4kjjjAsLWA-BqsJpA4GlXadpmlGvyszlhNhwqIwc-97I6aKLfPzhLEZsytOluc8X9Nj6rWCQ/s1600-h/DSC00882.JPG"><img style="display:block;

I've been able to spend so much more time with Blaine. Like I said in an earlier post, the biggest thing I missed with him, was having dinners. Like tonight, we just sat in the kitchen hanging out. He was cooking and I hung out at the bar on the Mac. We just talked and listened to music.... it was nice. We also went on a <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">hugeee</span> cleaning spree this weekend. It started yesterday when we went to Target and bought tubs to organize our patio. My dad gave us these plastic shelving units we can put our tubs in to place on the patio. We finally finished yesterday and we have so much room now on our patio. I also put my shelves up finally and was able to get everything organized. Blaine and I scrubbed floors, toilets, sinks, walls.... we did major clean. Our apartment doesn't even get too dirty actually, just cluttered. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">Anyway, Blaine and I are going to go play some video games. We have to get up early tomorrow to go workout so we can't stay up too late. We are also having movie night tonight. We are going to watch <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">Slumdog</span> Millionaire. We bought some popcorn and sodas so we can feel like we're at the movies. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">Until next time...</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><br /></span></div><div><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5YrN0SnBRrRcNDQ_lAnu_IvGJ1em_Lvdc3qdc1AkMLPO9RD5TcjhOrL4PwGekvPEuK2WlVHLYilzb_UwZopV79p8gteg2p4AICe4w8QeMNRDhP-6CWtCr5aIbVTS03MAQ4mTPtCp0Jzc/s1600-h/Photo+14.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5YrN0SnBRrRcNDQ_lAnu_IvGJ1em_Lvdc3qdc1AkMLPO9RD5TcjhOrL4PwGekvPEuK2WlVHLYilzb_UwZopV79p8gteg2p4AICe4w8QeMNRDhP-6CWtCr5aIbVTS03MAQ4mTPtCp0Jzc/s320/Photo+14.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5308458537914822802" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLhcORFxj_cm8beMSu87soOBmhhwdlWDRTSAyP1-LjLoX-_28q2Sy1mqg07Xpjauevf5da9NrkCnVkpGM4chYpl_ZeYxVVuuJ59xc7SET2YNN4HiqnduS_VBFvDmpZWmWM4fayZ7Wdqp4/s1600-h/DSC00887.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLhcORFxj_cm8beMSu87soOBmhhwdlWDRTSAyP1-LjLoX-_28q2Sy1mqg07Xpjauevf5da9NrkCnVkpGM4chYpl_ZeYxVVuuJ59xc7SET2YNN4HiqnduS_VBFvDmpZWmWM4fayZ7Wdqp4/s320/DSC00887.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5308458539885321090" /></a><br /></div></div>Tabitha Daniellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01650223993785563073noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-229586621328544523.post-66692102398452560622009-02-18T02:22:00.000-08:002009-02-18T02:51:14.639-08:00Alphabet Soup<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">I start school next week... on Monday, I am so stoked! Today was my last day at my job with Time Warner Cable. The school gives the students jobs while we're in session for the 18 weeks and after. Also, since I did so well while at Time Warner Cable, they offered me a position to come back if I so choose. I'm hoping I will be successful enough with this makeup industry out here, that I won't even have to worry about it, however, it is extremely comforting knowing that if I need a job, I will have one waiting in the wings. I am also extremely nervous about this change, but I'll never know unless I take a risk, right?</span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">I am also looking forward to my schedule change. I will have a more in sync schedule with Blaine so we're going to start a work out routine! He has to leave by 6:30am and I'll have to leave by 8am so we're going to work out at 5 am! It's early, but it feels so good, especially early in the morning. It gives you so much energy throughout the day, including positive endorphins. They just built a new work out room in our complex and it's massive! It's literally the size of a Pure Fitness or something... it's two stories, has several treadmills, weight stations... it even has spin classes with video monitors. The video monitors are the teachers! Isn't that nuts!</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">This schedule change will not only be good for working out, but Blaine and I will finally be able to have dinners together again. With how our schedule has been for the past few months, he comes home at 5pm, I come home at 1230-130am and pretty much go to sleep. I really miss making dinners with him and enjoying them together. It's the small things like that, I do with Blaine, that I cherish the most. I just love cooking in the kitchen, with all of the cats running around and Blaine sitting in there with me while we listen to music. It's usually Jim Noir or Mae. =) We found a Fresh and Easy not too far from us that we love shopping at. If you've never been to Fresh and Easy... go! They have the freshest meats (NOT FROM MEXICO!!!) and the best ways to make quick dinners. It's all mostly healthy food and really cheap. Blaine and I used to walk over to the Fresh and Easy in Mesa when we worked at AT&T. Oh.... days at AT&T... </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">We're going out to Arizona this weekend. We're leaving Thursday night and coming home Sunday. We're both really excited because we get to see our family and also our friends. I'm going to be spending one of the days with my pops, just him and I. He's going to take me to look at his new house he just bought. While I do that, Blaine is going to go see his friends in Gilbert that he hasn't seen for awhile. We're also going to see Blaine's family ( I consider them mine also =]). We always visit Ryan and Jamee when we go out there and have such a blast. We love them and their kids so much! They're always so gracious and kind to let us come over and hang out. It's really cool for me, because I only had my immediate family growing up, it's nice to have some extended family. I know Blaine and I aren't married, but I don't believe that defines family 100%. We've been together for 2 years and I really appreciate his family. =) I always have this fear, that when we go there, his nephews will not remember me! haha</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">Well, it's 2:48 in the morning and I'm tired. I fell asleep a bit earlier this evening which is why I am up so late now. Blaine and I played video games for hours tonight. We're both still getting over our sickness, so we've been pretty lazy. We're going to the grocery store tomorrow and I"m not sure what else we're going to do. We kind of just take things day by day. =)</span></div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">Have a good night.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><br /></span></div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkZGGQcJmF1N9iM2O896NHzv4qZY6Vz1pjIJzAc-GD2xQwg7gW96SX8GynkIF2jC2Us2Pt5skAHiT_NFb-aT4zc4xJAglsnmkFHZ5xA5jmg8gYe1XthaIRWluNirnEG-WxPAdACmQl7pQ/s1600-h/music.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 248px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkZGGQcJmF1N9iM2O896NHzv4qZY6Vz1pjIJzAc-GD2xQwg7gW96SX8GynkIF2jC2Us2Pt5skAHiT_NFb-aT4zc4xJAglsnmkFHZ5xA5jmg8gYe1XthaIRWluNirnEG-WxPAdACmQl7pQ/s320/music.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5304088096510162386" /></a>Tabitha Daniellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01650223993785563073noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-229586621328544523.post-48748586603102232382009-02-08T16:21:00.000-08:002009-02-08T16:42:15.867-08:002 years<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">Blaine and I celebrated our 2 year anniversary on February 3rd.

It's a restaurant on the beach that has a gorgeous view at night. Romantic right? Well it's in Malibu, which is about 30 minutes from us. It started to rain in the morning and never stopped. Unfortunately, we were unable to go to the beach and didn't want to drive too far. We decided to go to Outback and then we went and got Haagen Dazs ice cream. Since we got rained out, we're going to more stuff on Valentines day.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">On another note, Blaine has the flu and it's been so bad. He had a fever last night of 103 and at the same time, has chills. I stayed home from work today to take care of him. I went and got him soup, gatorade and orange jello. He's sleeping right now, but I'm hoping he will get better. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">I also decided to clean the apartment today.

I am taking their Master Makeup Program. It is an 18 week course that starts with Beauty makeup I will learn the basics in beauty and then I will also learn airbrushing, along with high fashion avant gard looks. After that, I will go into character makeup which involves bald caps, fake hair application, injury simulations (burns, scars...you know gross stuff!). After that, it will lead into prosthetics, where I will sculpt and construct a creature. After that, I will go into special effects where I will make my creature come to life. Basically, I will paint it, add blood tubing and actually apply it onto a human being. Here are some examples of the work done at the school:</span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">High Fashion Beauty</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><br /></span></div><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinIdOVVYVqqI8vILxIoDvJus7Svf-RUR26Wo_-bW0aE0RtIS1LRd9QA6eYWLtShyphenhyphenSjEhBq5fnVNSwjxiZfdfdvY78LgEm55smJOLkPaUnTmIDfEcm43UNslkF9qzexx5zjJy-NuPuZBQk/s1600-h/highfashion3.jpg"><img style="display:block;

I love the creativity and artistic aspects of it.</span>Tabitha Daniellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01650223993785563073noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-229586621328544523.post-15410338627910396322009-01-21T23:59:00.000-08:002009-01-22T00:30:50.697-08:00A little late but...Christmas pictures! I'm so lazy when it comes to uploading pictures. I still haven't figured out this Macbook completely yet either, which doesn't help. Anyway, these are the pictures of our Christmas. Christmas with family was separate, since we're in California. I don't have those pictures yet... only the one from the Christmas Blaine and I shared. We went to the Cheescake Factory for our Christmas Dinner (we celebrated a week early) and then spent the night enjoying Christmas cookies, video games and movies. Here are some pictures...<br /><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZzGYGTLoMT3nsx9asY-VbckIe-TmokCgMJBRHTF8Kz_JKpx02maL-uuTCxygXuXT3yElGMZ0cJkpE4qCNHXPGJcpOCiKq5k48gSskL7tC6PQ1_DdkDMpbXWgJg0-nImdiFXyXKaibUYw/s1600-h/DSC00714.JPG"><img style="display:block;

We came back home and were in the process of putting away our groceries when all of a sudden our fire alarm went off! People start closing all the doors and running out with their dogs and stuff.. oh man, it was so scary. Blaine went out to see what was going on and then it started to smell, we saw the smoke and I just started to grab all the cats. We went downstairs and saw all of the firemen coming up the stairs, as well as all the people outside with the fire trucks. We just sat in Blaine's car and waited for everything to settle down. Luckily, it was just a small fire and we were able to go back in. Regardless, it was scary. I took some pictures... sorry for the quality, but it was super dark and Blaine's window was so dirty.</span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><br /></span></div><br /><a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v354/homicidal_sex/?action=view¤t=fire6.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v354/homicidal_sex/fire6.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v354/homicidal_sex/?action=view¤t=fire5.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v354/homicidal_sex/fire5.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v354/homicidal_sex/?action=view¤t=fire3.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v354/homicidal_sex/fire3.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v354/homicidal_sex/?action=view¤t=fire4.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v354/homicidal_sex/fire4.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v354/homicidal_sex/?action=view¤t=fire2.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v354/homicidal_sex/fire2.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v354/homicidal_sex/?action=view¤t=fire1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v354/homicidal_sex/fire1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>Tabitha Daniellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01650223993785563073noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-229586621328544523.post-16719581209688831142009-01-15T14:17:00.000-08:002009-01-15T14:35:58.595-08:00Can't read my poker face<span style="font-style:italic;">I'm listening to Lady Gaga right now. Her music is so catchy. Some of the songs are obnoxious, but some are really good, like "Again, Again" I love the piano in that song.<br /><br />I just got finished paying bills, which is never fun, but it's pay day, so you have to take the good with the bad. I just ordered Blaine's anniversary gift. It better get here a day that I'm here so he doesn't figure out what it is. He figured out what he got for Christmas by touching the box and then looking up a PS3 box to see if it had a handle... what a turd! ha ha Either way, he liked it. Which reminds me, I still need to post our Christmas pictures, but I need to get them off the camera.<br /><br />I woke up with a bad headache today and I had extremely bad cotton mouth, I'm not even too sure why. I'm so hungry, this not eating thing is annoying. Not like anorexia not eating, but eating healthy. I always love eating better because I get more creative in the kitchen and if you make the right things, then the food tastes good. The issue is always lunch. There are only so many salads and pitas one can eat for lunch. I think I may make a turkey burger today, but I'm too lazy and I have so much to do, that I usually don't have time to eat. After this post, I have to work out also, which sucks because I really don't feel well today, but I have to do what I set out for.<br /><br />Blaine will be home soon, which I am excited for. We're going to go the grocery I think and possibly go develop some pictures. We were playing left 4 dead last night... ah that game is so awesome. Just a ton of zombies come out of nowhere! We play in the dark too, which makes it better. ha ha<br /><br />I wish I had a more interesting life so that I had something to write about... oh you know what? I realllly want to see My Bloody Valentine in 3-D. I'm a sucker for horror movies and I saw the original. I'm just not sure about 3-D you know? They're having a showing tonight in Hollywood, the director will be there for a Q and A, Blaine and I were going to go, but it was sold out. I'm not sure if we're going to go tonight or wait until next week. I'll have to talk to him and see. I want to make sure he can get enough sleep.<br /><br />Well, I'm going to go work out and possibly make some lunch. If I get bored enough later, I'll post some stuff from Christmas.</span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><br /></span></div><br /><a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v354/homicidal_sex/?action=view¤t=0ce326e0.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v354/homicidal_sex/0ce326e0.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>Tabitha Daniellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01650223993785563073noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-229586621328544523.post-90028491023861974752009-01-14T21:38:00.001-08:002009-01-14T22:03:14.927-08:00It's been awhile...<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">So, I started this blog back in May and wrote in it for about a month and then stopped. My life finally feels like it is settling down, so I can take the time to write a little.<br /><br />Just an update on how things have gone... Blaine and I have made our way out to California. We've been out here since July/ early August. We both have been working full time jobs, but are trying to reorganize our lives/schedules to better suite what we actually want to do out of life. I will be taking a leave of absence from work soon, to go to school. I am going to school for beauty makeup and special effects. However, that will not be my career. My passion still is and always will be singing. Blaine and I are going to be working on my demo this year and I will be doing open mic nights, once I have some material to actually perform. I just look at it like this, I would much rather be doing a job like makeup for films and studios while I am trying to make it, as opposed to be doing tech support. The school I will be attending is in the heart of Hollywood and they send out recommendations/job postings to film producers, directors, etc. to do work for. I would love to do zombie make-up on a zombie film!<br /><br />Other than that we have just been enjoying each other's company. My parents have been out here... we went to Disneyland, Universal Studios and on New Years Eve I took my dad to see George Lopez. He had a blast!<br /><br />In a couple of weeks will be Blaine and I's 2 year anniversary. It's hard to believe we have been together this whole time... it just seems like yesterday I was working at Hollywood Video and had him walk in to apply for a job. haha =) I love him though, and couldn't be happier.<br /><br />Speaking of Blaine, I think he is getting ancy to play Left 4 Dead, so I am going to jump off here and go play with him.<br /><br />Until next time...</span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><br /></span></div><br /><br /><a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v354/homicidal_sex/?action=view¤t=DSC00620-1-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v354/homicidal_sex/DSC00620-1-1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>Disneyland 08Tabitha Daniellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01650223993785563073noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-229586621328544523.post-69216884524512892862008-06-06T17:11:00.005-07:002009-01-14T19:54:14.459-08:00Cherry Chapstick<span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">So I just got home from working out, as well as swimming with Blaine. They've had our pool closed all week so it has sucked. Let me tell you, there is nothing better than jumping in the pool after working out for an hour.<br /><br />Blaine and I have been playing Splinter Cell Chaos Theory obsessivley for the past couple of days and once I am done with this post I am going to make some dinner and then play!<br /><br />Blaine's birthday is coming up and I am so excited! This year is going to be awesome and I'm just so happy with him. It's kind of nice not being typical for our age I guess. I mean, we still do things our age, but our lives aren't filled with so much drama and bs...at least not with each other. There will always be drama and there will always be bs, but at least I have him to turn to when things get tough.<br /><br />I'm just trying to look towards the future and get excited about it. I'm losing weight, moving to California and FINALLY starting my career for singing in the land of Hollywouldnot.<br /><br />=)<br /><br />Oh and Katy Perry is my new hero. Legitimately, her music is beyond amazing and I will definitely be picking up her record when it "drops".Tabitha Daniellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01650223993785563073noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-229586621328544523.post-55008098861723492982008-06-04T17:13:00.001-07:002008-06-04T17:14:31.684-07:00“The sunflower is a favorite emblem of constancy”<span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Love... ♥♥♥<br /><br /><a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v354/homicidal_sex/?action=view&current=sunflowies-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v354/homicidal_sex/sunflowies-1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><br /><br />Thank you Blaine. =)<br /></span></span></span></span>Tabitha Daniellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01650223993785563073noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-229586621328544523.post-43896938112631431202008-06-04T15:32:00.003-07:002008-06-04T16:11:47.545-07:00It is very windy outside...<span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-family:georgia;"><span style="font-size:85%;">It's about 4pm, Blaine and I just got back a little while ago from working out. I love working out, it makes you feel like you can conquer anything. I love the 'high' you get after working out, when all of your endorphines are going. I have been working out again...since May 13th so going for about 3 weeks solid. I have been working out 4-5 times a week. I do 40 minutes of cardio (on the eliptical mostly, but sometimes I will switch it up to running on the treadmill or using the bike) then I will go and do a little bit of strength training...lifting some weights, doing sit ups and leg lifts. I'm not really too into strength training yet...I want to lose the weight and then tone up. I have done this before, I just need to stick to it. It's always harder for me because of my thyroid issue. I don't eat bad...I stick to organics, lean meats and veggies. Also, I will eat whole grains in moderation and no soda. On special occasions I may have a pop, but you've gotta splurge every once in awhile. =)<br /><br />Speaking of food, I have yet to eat today. Not on purpose, I've just been very busy so far. I think I'm going to make a greek salad, it's the best! Tonight for dinner I am going to make grilled chicken in a roasted garlic marinade, with a red potato and salad. Mmmm, so good.<br /><br />I'm really happy that I got my "office" up and running. By office I mean, my desk, computer and new chair (from Ikea which I am obsessed with) set up in our bedroom. Like I mentioned yesterday, we did some decorating and cleaning up. I did decide to put up some posters, I'm tired of looking at them in the closet.<br /><br />Also, last night was awesome. Blaine and I got some chips and salsa (organic chips with fresh salsa, diced) and played board games for a couple of hours. Everything from Break the Ice, to Up Words! Then we were playing Soldat on our computers against each other haha After that I read for a little bit on the couch and ended up falling asleep. I woke up around 4 am to Blaine on the floor messing with the xbox. We went to bed and that was that....not much else to write about. =)<br /><br />I think that I am going to go for now, I am hungry so Blaine and I are going to have some lunch/early dinner? Plus we want to play some more Soldat!<br /><br />Keep it real kids.<br /><br /><a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v354/homicidal_sex/?action=view&current=regina.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v354/homicidal_sex/regina.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /></span></span></span></span>Tabitha Daniellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01650223993785563073noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-229586621328544523.post-56361509113201766612008-06-03T15:19:00.005-07:002008-06-03T15:25:22.238-07:00The pictures you took, that cover your room, and it was just like the sun...but more like the moon<span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold; font-family: georgia;font-size:85%;" >You can never go wrong with Mae lyrics. So today is Blaine's day off and we are cleaning like crazy. Not really cleaning, but more like straightening out our apartment, setting up our computer desks (we just got the internet...our own this time, not knocking off others haha) and it's getting cozier. I want to put up posters and stuff, but I'm not sure if there is even a point due to the fact we are out of here come August 12th.</span><span style="font-size:85%;"><br /><br /></span><span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold; font-family: georgia;font-size:85%;" >Today is going to be a good day.

I feel great and more energetic, plus I am back on track to my goal. Another awesome thing is that I have Blaine's support. He keeps me going, very encouraging. Not only that, but he actually works out alongside me so it definitely helps my mentality on working out, plus it makes the bond we have stronger. </span><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:85%;" ><br /><br /></span><span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;font-family:georgia;font-size:85%;" >Only 5 1/2 more hours until I am out of here!

What makes a person decide that they are going to start a blog? Maybe it's because all of the cool kids are doing it...maybe it's because Carrie on Sex and the City does it...or maybe I need another source of 'out' if you will.<br /><br />I figure that since I will be moving in just a couple of months, this is a good way to keep up with what everyone is doing and how things are going. Writing letters or making phone calls are so 2. NO. =)<br /><br />Yesterday was a pretty rad day. It started out by Blaine adopting us a new kitten! Her name is Bella Blue (that was her adoptive name and since she was used to it, we decided not to change it). She is a cute little gray kitten who is just so full of love. We have had for only one day and I am already so attached to her. We have three other cats, Gia, Harvey, and Audrey. They are all adapting to her nicely which saves me the stress and trouble of getting them together.<br /><br />Yesterday was also Jenna's baby shower. It was such a cute event, very intimate and genuine. It was so nice seeing her and Justin so happy, they were both glowing like crazy! They received a lot of nice gifts, very thoughtful ones as well, and let's just say their baby is going to be pretty fashionable. ♥ I was also able to see Kristin and Colin as well, which was really nice. Unfortunately, I have been unable to see my friends as much as I would like to, due to growing up and trying to get out of here.<br /><br />That brings me to my next topic. Within 3 o 4 months, we will be in Los Angeles, California. Blaine and I both want to make it in the music biz (I sing, he plays guitar/writes/sound engineering). Most people who know me, know my stance on this subject so there really isn't a need to go into it much more. We just want to be in a more inspirational place. Somewhere the people appreciate music and shows are happening constantly. I think of Arizona as being a party state, given that is what most teens our age do...shop and have parties. I'm not saying there is anything wrong with that, but it just isn't for us. We want to go where the music is at.<br /><br />I will post pictures later of our cats, especially our new little one. For now, I will just end with a picture of the most badass- epic proportions. Enjoy.<br /><a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v354/homicidal_sex/?action=view¤t=montage-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v354/homicidal_sex/montage-1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>Tabitha Daniellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01650223993785563073noreply@blogger.com0
