*got dumped by dave on our anniversary... no reason. *wanted to die. *saved from the knife by my mom. *had to get rid of harley, but now the poochie bear is enjoying acres of land. muah! *went down the shore, met a boy. thought he was nice,.. got dicked over.....story of my life. *emily came from harrisburg in a horrible mess. divorce. *living in the kevin and anita gordon youth hostile right now. no place to call my home. *no contact with dave. how can you drop ur best friend in a matter of seconds. fucked up shit. *my work was shown at the launching of the new EXPRESS FOR WOMEN AND MEN store. something positive?! yes! *taught photography for gov' school for one week. resume plus. *went on a date with a singing carpenter. definatley a no. *jeremy came back to the east coast for a hot to visit. we made out and then he left.. back to cali. *moved out of the gayborhood. 48 hoursof no sleep. *emily joined the kev and nita youth hostile until we find a place together. *i want her husband to die in the worst way... and feel the pain he has dished out to her. *dirt poor. * date with a nice boy who ended up being the biggest pothead ever. high school shit. too much. *mick... yes. argh. *never had so much drama in my life. i hate drama. *feel like my best friend died. *chicks i could not have ever made it through the past few months without..... my angels who have poured there unconditional love out to me,,,,...: anita, emily, lexis, joanna, and danielle. they saved me in moments of despair. times they have no idea about. times when hearing there voices on my voicemail have saved my life. literally. *how have i fallen this hard? i wanted to just lay here and never get up. but, i have to go on , i have to take the oppurtunities that are arising. i HAVE to care. things will look up if i only let them. and i will.
so i got a job at trixie on south st. the manager alexis rox and i love her to death already and i'm so excited to be working for her. i can't believe how blessed i am to have so many good good girlfriends in my life right now that aren't sneaky little bitches like most chicks because i honestly hate girls. they are such assholes. i love all my boys so much and guys can be the best of friends and its grand.

the past few days have been oh so strange. it sux because most of the hours are just a huge blur. that is definatly not a good sign.
at any rate, friday i have no clue what i did except for get really really fucked up over and over again. me and the boy had some beef with each other but it was definatley due to intoxication of sorts. no good.
saturday i assited a film shoot and got PAID for it. joy! then last night ... wow. everything was extremely surreal and has been up untill this point.
dave, pat, and i, went to a party... i definatley was trashed. afterwards mike and his chick joleen came to my apt to smoke with dave and i. after mike and jo left dave and i had crazy conversation untill four in the morning about the importance of a person having some form of passion for something in life. then the night just turned into what felt like a porno. then around 5 we went to bed. my mind was just churning with strange thoughts and whatnot. finally after fallling asleep i had a very surreal but vivid dream......
my parents were in it. mainly my mom, as it goes that my father and i do not really have a relationship. they found out somehow things about me that they don't know and should never ever know. my mom was hysterical. they disowned me. i felt so horribly wicked and dirty. it is so hard to even describe. my mom was begging me not to marry dave, telling me i should be marrying a member of the church. i then got swallowed up by an immense wave.
when i woke up this morning i felt really strange. i feel like i am in the twilight zone. i just talked to my mom and she sounded so strange,, edgy , upset. she said, "this is what will make my mothers day.." i say what. she says"if i can ask you a blatant question". of course i tell her. she says, "i'm so worried amber are you going to marry dave? he isn't a member of the church".. i'm thinking is this a continuation of the dream.
first of all dave and i have been together for a mere 3 months.. and yes i actually am so in love with him,,strangely so, and i think mi mum can tell. however, i am in no way thiinking of marriage at this point in my life.. i am just graduating and dave-o still has school. so i dont know what my mom is thinking and i told her this.
yes my faith is very important to me but it is all the same god and i don't feel like getting into a huge debate right now but that has been my surreal ass day.
so so long and fairwell for now i will be back on later with pix and other dirt.
love, amber lynn |

Oh preston p. where has my passion gone? It has said goodbye and i can't stand it. BUT i must be standing it enough as i can't seem to get it back. Routines of slacker laziness are forming more and more everyday. Creeping up on me. Where has my passion gone?... my life, my therapy, my solace,...my only dear friend has left me. I pretend that it is in hibernation due to the peircing cold winter. Please come back soon. |

i was just on the elevator in my apt. building with a cop who had the last name "livewell" interesting. other interesting last names i've come across...... "lovejoy" (jeff bahh), "rosengrant" (em's hubbies last name!)..... "hart" (singer james hart from 18 visions)....and "gearhart" (cali mike).
i didn't get to shoot today which was dissapointing.. but for some reason i had an extra pep in my step. i think it was due to the fact that the sun was shining oh so bright..it reminded me not to fret that spring is coming! yay!
yesterday was daves birthday. he loved his presents, i made him a card, got him an old track jacket, and tix to a show. he was so excited. we went to west chester rock city for dinner with his parents. also i took him over to my parents house to meet my mama and dad and the jagman. it turned out great. my moms like "he's soooo cute!...well minus the lip ring" hahah.. she's funny.
so today is pats bday. dave and i are having him over my apt for dinner. it will be fun.

it's like peaches and cream. dave is so fucking rad. meep meep. friday night we went to the arms of orion show. they rocked. i love all of daves friends to pieces. friday slept over daves... saturday came back to philly to shoot portraits for timmons and his little sis. oh so cute! then i went back to west chester rock city for the show which was in kennett. i missed arms of orion but i got there just in time to hear some crap ska band. it was soooooo funny. i danced with mark, dennis, christian, and dave, we skanked ! LOL it was so hilarious. the poor band playing had to know we were making fun of them. however the highlight of the night was when dave and i ran up to the front singing made up words and we both slipped and fell. and who had a skirt on. hmmm it wasn't dave. it was so great. hah. then we all went to amoras and then back to daves house.
today, came back to philly. was locked out of my apt so dave came over. we spent an hour busting open the door so i had to go buy a new door knob, lock, etc. yadda yadda yah.
then my mama and dad came to see me! joy! i missed my mamacita and my dad is nice now! we went to eat. it was fun fun fun!
tomorrow is daves birthday! yay!!!!!! xoxoxoox! it's h jo's toooooo! woooooooooohoooooooooooooooooooo.
