Today is my birthday. Obviously. (:
If I had known how wonderful today was going to be, I would have brought along Nikon to be a part of it. A ton of thanks and happiness towards my dear friends Kate, Alex, Jack, and my family for working to make today such a special occasion for me, along with everyone who wished me a happy birthday.
Kate (who is the master of all sorts of homemade goodies) made some delicious cupcakes, entirely from scratch. The frosting is to die for, the perfect texture and creaminess makes all other frosting seem so generic and gross. Plus, the color was so pretty. I sincerely believe that she should take her skills and follow her heart to Russia and open the most adorable little cupcake shop.
Last night while making a quick stop after work with Jack at Wal-Mart to get my birthday tiara (which I wore all day), I was tricked into helping pick out the cake mix and frosting for the birthday cupcakes Alex was going to be making for me.
As an extra treat, Jack and Alex took me out for a splendid lunch at Great Pacific (a local favorite, stop by if you’re ever in Pendleton, Oregon!), where I was also treated to a free chocolate truffle for my birthday. I also received some lovely yellow lilies (one of my favorite colors and flowers!) from Jackson.
When I got home from lunch I noticed some cards that I hadn’t seen this morning before I left for school. Inside a card from my grandmother were three pictures she included of her, my grandfather, and my father back in 1965 when they went to the duck pond in Walla Walla, Washington when my father was only six months old. So cute and retro!
AND for the first time in my life, someone wrote on the windows of my car with glass chalk (:
Pictures below!
Did I mention the new car I got last week? And the results are in: I’m moving to Boise (:
If any Boise residents happen to trip upon this, hit me up! I’ll be needing a social life at some point once I arrive.
I’m off to get ready for my birthday dinner!
Love love love,
Dacoda

Besides (most likely) failing that Trigonometry test I took today, I’ve been wearing a smile. Why, you might ask? Because I:
Have $8 Worth of Delicious Incense

Super Hit, Song Of India, and Aastha always tantalize the senses.
Read The Following Comic:
Girls With Slingshots, #424
This was an ‘Awhhhhhh :3′ moment, for sure. Danielle Corsetto’s web comic about a gaggle of luscious, quirky, and quick-witted ladies, their boys and some talking plants is so undeniably entertaining. My friend Karli suggested it to me months ago, and I just tripped over it again and I’m now in the long (yet hilarious) process of catching up. Jeph Jacques of Questionable Content has mentioned it before, so you know it must be good. Give it a read, yes?
Finally Uploaded Some New Photography
So go check it out and maybe leave some love? Link to my Deviant Art account is just to the left!
Isn’t Kate just so so so cute?!
Received The Best Compliment Ever
Someone left this on my Formspring:
“I’m a fan of your photography on DA, and I tend to read along your WordPress from time to time. I just wanted to let you know, you’ve been a big inspiration to me and I would like to thank you. So, thank you (:”
<3
And who else feels so comforted by the black man in the Allstate commercials? Because I totally am.
Oh! And I'm planning on getting into peacock mode for prom. I know, I know, it sounds crazy, but I'm a-plottin' and a-plannin' and I have high hopes (:
One month, five days to the big 1-8!

Club, music, new boots, On My Way, photography, possibilities, Saybella, school, senior year, squid dress, The Chocolate Ball, vans, work
In no particular order:
1. Kate’s homemade bonbons
My super swell friend Kate (the tree climber, if you happen to look at my photography) made the most delicious chocolate wonders for The Chocolate Ball, a dance we had to support Lit. Club. They had sprinkles. And they were chocolate. Win? YES. Here’s some Chocolate Ball fun:
photo one: Pat and Erin
photo two: Morgan and Kate
2. A Beautiful Mess
As in the art inspiration blog of Elsie Flannigan. Check it out! She’s one of the raddest chicks ever, and if I could have anyone’s life, it’d be hers. As in I’d want to be like her. Not that I would want to take her life as in kill her. That would be terrible D: Anyway, she comes up with all these nifty little crafts alllll the time, finds the cutest things everywhere, the best music, the best art, and is just oozing creativity in every post. Here’s Elsie, from a picture she has on her Flickr:
3. Cliff’s van, Dr. Katrina the Hostess
Who likes cruising? Dacoda with Clifford and Katrina!
4. Cleaning my room
I don’t have any pictures for this, but I do love how clean and homey it’s becoming :3
5. Billy Boy On Poison, Saybella, and The Virgins
I’m sure you’ve heard of The Virgins. So nevermind them (but still <3), Billy Boy On Poison was recently one of the Singles of the Week on iTunes with their song "On My Way" and apparently on Gossip Girl once, but I don't watch that show so I wouldn't know. And Saybella is a recording artist out of Portland, Oregon. Check them both out: Billy Boy On Poison; Saybella
6. Thursdays
Both classes I have end in ‘-ology,’ so of course it’s a good day. Mythology and Psychology? Fuck yeah. I get to sleep in and I go home at lunch and not have to come back. I never work on Thursdays either. Thursdays are my little slice of heaven (:
7. The squid dress I’m designing
Yeah, this sketch is nowhere near completion. Just you wait. And when I become a sewing master, it shall be made (:
8. My new boots
I chose new boots over gas. I totally think it was worth it. I may have to live like I’m poor while my bank account recovers, but at least I’ll be living poor in my new boots.
9. My plan for the last day of my senior year
It’s pretty simple. Creep out a shit ton of people, cos I’ll never see them again!
10. Realizing the widespread possibilities for my future
I could be a forensic psychologist, a coffee shop owner, a coroner, a taxidermist, a photographer, a writer, an interior designer, a small shop owner, or like a doctor. I doubt it. But maybe. But no.
Or I could be a hobo and live in a box. But I bet I’ll be a happy hobo.
Keep it real!
Dacoda.
