june #2.

i got a call- i ended up getting the M.A.C job - i'm tired of talking about it. now applying to work at VANS also. just cause, i love vans. i've had an amazing couple days hanging out with my friend sarah. i got back this morning. i was thinking about people i really like and wondering what i find so admirable about them. i laughed a lot yesterday, it hurt. i also went to an art show. didn't like that much, but what i did like, i enjoyed.



i press flowers, and like the idea of preserving things that are beautiful and fragile, and how they relate to us personally. this dress was crafted together with petals.



and sarah took me into a dark closet and said "you'll probably love this"... and she was right... hanging flowers that had been soaked in PVA glue - another favoruite thing i love to do. PVA makes crap look so much better. ha. man it reeked in there though!



today i met up with a friend from scotland who i've not seen in a year (probably read this at some point huh... since you asked about my blog today..). had a couple meetings today also... busy days... tomorrow i'm taking the train to hang out with some babies, then grocery shop, house clean, and cellgroup at my house.

i'm feeling super close to God and it's completing me in so many ways. especially after "feeling" not much for so long, but being diligent as much as possible regardless. i have His assurance and i've been talking to friends about the fear of Him a lot lately... like even when you enter heaven, it takes preparation and cleansing to see Him because he is just that awesome, and majestic. awesome - that word should probably be used less by me for everyday things, and used when i talk about His sovereignty. i like the way He renews me, and teaches me things privately, and personally... incredibly intimately.... in a way i can understand.... sometimes :) album leaf is seriously putting me to sleep at nine forty this evening. it's still so bright out, i love these days. bath time, with the windows wide open.

ps- suuuupa bummed doom aren't coming here anymore. european labels need to get their junk together!

lately.

hello hello. i usually have the tendency to blog late at night, or when i'm emotional and i've made myself stop doing that because i can write things way worse than they are. so here we go, it's noon on the dot, i've been awake a couple hours, sitting here drinking lemon and ginger tea watching videos on youtube of my girl. it's my favourite movie ever, and well, here enjoy a couple minutes:



so my last M.A.C interview, i came home made ramen noodles for lunch and heard God so clearly say "i have better for you" as i was hovering over the hot hub. i remember saying outloud "i am not hearing this right now". so ever since the last interview i've kind of tried to forget about it, and figured that job isn't for me. it tiring hearing that after four interviews, and if i'd heard it earlier then i wouldn't have bothered or tried so hard... but then again perhaps doubted what i was hearing. for the record- i'm supposed to hear back this week, they've got two days left, and as it looks, seems highly unlikely i've got the position. i'm honestly worn out and tired. my energy is minimal! yesterday i phoned them asking when i'd hear back and they said they'd let me know through the mail. probably another letter saying sorry. so i cried a lot, emailed my dad, forgot to eat all day, and worked out for two and a half hours but i'm all better now. the waiting period can just be so hard, especially when it feels although it's dragging. your destiny and purpose gets all confused and seems to spiral downwards really fast... it was funny, i stumbled on a tithemi podcast on destiny out of no where, and it encouraged me.

so here's a couple babies i wanna show you. levi and and eden joy. i loved cuddling them for hours the other day. eden joy is ten weeks old, and the most peaceful baby i've ever held. she's great. and levi, what a dude. his eyes are intense.









i've been taking lots of polaroid photos lately. i've been borrowing an awesome polariod camera, crazy flash on it and everything. i got my typewriter back the other day, so i've definitely been using that too.






...and finally :) this song is pretty much word for word my life right now. it has been on repeat till i fall asleep at night, literally. i hope you are all doing amazing!

june o'nine.

He delights in me.
to Him, i'm as bright as the moon.
He told me. under a tree, in a deserted park the other night.

then a man came chasing toward me asking me for my number, after a bit of a chat and telling him i didn't have my phone, or know my number (ahem!) eventually he carried on running as i walked the other way out. i've been to a chicken place here, and didn't end up paying for my food, the chef; a guy there wants to take me to his homeland. his friend walked in and was dark skinned with the brightest ocean eyes, so i mentioned it. they barely spoke english so they thought i was talking about the drugs he was on and how i could see it in his eyes. yeah, then i got offered to go smoke, but no. this guy ended up finding me in this same park a few days later, asking me if i had a boyfriend. thankfully my phone rang and he said "i'll be back in two minutes", he turned around and i ran home for dear life.

i just walked back in the door from hanging in london. i just decided to go see my friend jordan visiting from california who goes back to CA tuesday, also wanted to see anna for breakfast, and say hey to my big brother. was an eventful couple days, and i loved it. i bumped into my friend jeff in the middle of london (which is crazy, cause it's huge), and that was super nice to catch up and get coffee.

myself & anna.


looking at awesome art with jordan.




there was plenty i liked, but i particularly liked these because i love portraiture.




it's my last demonstration with m.a.cosmetics on monday, i've been waiting so long and there are so many interviews for this position it's beginning to seem rather tedious. i care as much still, but at the same time, i know what i'm capable of and if i don't get it the job it's not the end of the world, but i really do want it.

i hope you're all doing well. i like how in random emails or conversation people mention how they've been keeping up to date with me on here, when really i think no one ever reads it and wonder why i even bother. but it's good to know from time to time someone does.

oh, bangs.

:D

my twin brother is so awesome!!! i can't wait to get these in the mail. i'm crazy about these watches and look how many he got me. oh dang! i have a pink one i love already. i ruined the surprise cause... twins... we know each others brains... oh he's the best. hong kong is SO good for stuff like that. i miss it.



other than that! i had my second M.A.C interview that went so much better than i could have ever imagined. she said my portfolio's was one of the best she's ever seen - and that it made her wonder why she's not done what i have. also, she asked me how i felt about a manager roll - that just blew my mind. she said she couldn't help but mention how good i looked. i mean what? this is crazy! but i'll always remember, the first thing she said to me was "i love your nails" so, heres a crazy photo.



back to M.A.C - i should be going up for the third demonstration - she said over 18 applicants have gone through just in one day, and now it's down to five, then if i win i get sent away to another city and get trained and stuff under M.A.C, you've no idea how badly i want it! really would be a dream out of three major ones come true. i've had such encouraging things sent to me about it through the mail - such a surprise from friends. i guess they know how long in line i've been waiting for this opportunity:



so i'm taking a model and doing her up in front of a bunch of "judges", and i want to win... but so does everyone else. i'm just going to do my best and see what happens. the manager gave me a lovely hug goodbye, and i will be in to see her soon to talk about the "look" i'm going to do!

HIS LOVE! IS MORE FAITHFUL THAT THE MORNING! - the one line by phil wickham i can't seem to get out of my head at all. last night i hung out with triplets! it confused me so much, but was so warming. they were all crazy and looked the same, how amazing creation and the human body is! wonderful!

to end today, it'd be perfect to be in hong kong swimming in the pool at midnight drinking lemon tea. alas! i'm here. back to REALITY! i'll talk a walk on some green grass instead. bye friends! ♥

ps- i cant freaking wait for impending doom to get hre. :)

sick.

i'm the sickest i've been in so long - body aches, fever, constant headache, nose, the HEAVIEST eyes, you know the drill. so not fun but hey. it is what it is. i wonder why soup is so good when sick... i dont know but it is, probably the only thing i can taste, and it's super hot - the way i make it :) i have a second M.A.C (cosmetics) interview on friday which i'm way stoked about. it's one of my dream jobs, so if you could say a prayer or two to help me, that'd be awesome. i've a feeling i won't get it... but we will see. i've been singing lots of johnny cash today, and love it. i got bangs dyed it back to black.. here's my sweet $5 wallgreens CA tshirt!



i've got a few more images to edit for my portfolio so i'm off to do that, but hope you're having a wonderful day, wherever it is you are! all my love - katy.

distance.

england is being pretty.



When I receive his love I become free
When I give him love, I become alive
Help me start afresh, I want to trust you with my life.
Move mountains, because I cant.
I dont like the thoughts in my head, or the words off my mouth,
I don't like being so dirty, so unclean,
I dont like feeling this distant, but I've never felt so distant before.
I dont want to lose your anointing, I don't want to lose it all.

My heart doesn't work without you.


life, is this right now. i'm no entertainment. thrash and burn tour coming up, guest passes thanks to kristin and ryan. life is transforming and re shaping. it's interesting. i'm growing up. i'm a year older and amazed i still use the same organs and heart as i did at 1 day old. take Him seirously otherwise what on earth are we doing.

surprise flowers....


i dont like that love and curse come off the same tongue. it's been hard having so much fun from people that don't love the things i love; it's stolen my attention lately. other than that; pen pals, get those pens rolling, i now have an address, for this month at least.

grace.

wakey shakey.

so hanging at amy's for a little bit. she lives in wakefield, the accent here is super strong. i've told her we're going to make a video just so you guys can hear it. i went to art college in this city. i've been travelling like crazy and i'm really looking forward to stopping. hong kong to london, to brussels, to london, up to the coast, back to london now up north. i've got tons and tons of photos to show for it, but as if i'm going to blog them all! but, heres a few.















it's my birthday tomorrow.
