Fresh Ink!

Draven — Thu, 28 Aug 2008 03:49:21 GMT

So last night I got tattooed.
I decided to turn my cupcake into a desserts and weapons sleeve.
mmmz.

So I got an ice cream cone and some brass knuckles.

Here's a picture.
Don't make fun of me, I took it this morning.

<33

woo hoo

Draven — Wed, 20 Aug 2008 14:04:46 GMT

I have Jessie Lee at my house for the weeeeek.
The last time I saw her was NYE, so, its pretty rad.

I got her an audition and she got herself hired at my club, so, if youre in baltimore, you wanna hit up the Gentlemens Gold Club on the realllll.

Today is free lapdance day.
We'll be there from 12-7. So come in and see us!

Yay!

<3

Draven — Sun, 17 Aug 2008 22:50:09 GMT

So, my girl is the shit.

She just took a new set of me, and its pretty rad, and I hope it gets accepted.

Other than that, Im getting tattooed on tuesday!
Ive decided to take my cupcake piece, and turn it into a whole sleeve of desserts and weapons.
So, Im gonna get an ice cream cone and some brass knuckles.
I think it sounds rad.

Then I have a super busy weekend.

Friday night is this Tattoos and Angels party at Kasbah in Canton.
Swollen Skateboards and my tattoo shop [Positive Image] are 2 of the sponsors, and Ill be giving out tattoo awards and helping to host, and generally being half naked eye candy.
Im excited.

Saturday night is my sister Stephanies boyfriend party. Its a surprise for his birthday, and I guess its gonna be a toga party.
Should be drunken awesomeness.

Sunday Im going to NYC for this GG party at one of the girls houses.
Im just hoping those ladies aren't all about drama and stuff.
I hope its rad.

and Sunday Im going to Philly to shoot with Post Mortem Pinups.
My friend Doug owns it and is the photographer and Im STOKED.
I guess his ultimate goal is to make a calendar or something, so its more looking for 1 shot, rather than taking a set of photos.
It's 'Femme Fatales in Fatal Positions', so I think Im gonna die in an oven.

We're still trying to figure out how to make the lights that my lady just got in the mail work.
So my new set was shot outside my apartment complex in front of some graffiti wall.

COME BACK ONCE YOU GET SOME STYLE
is the raddest thing on the wall.
and a little mushroom.

Im not rad at art, so I didnt paint anything.
But, I got naked! Yay!

If I keep typing Im just gonna sound lamer and lamer.
over and out, yall.

<3

Rarr.

Draven — Sat, 09 Aug 2008 17:39:06 GMT

Im tired, but I haven't been able to sleep.

and my wireless sucks, so I have the computer connected by ethernet.
So I have to sit on the couch all wonky and it makes my back and butt feel all lame.
Bleh.

My girl ordered lights in the mail.
I want them to get here so she can take naked pictures of me.

Cause I've DEF lost weight since my last DN shoot.
and I have these cute new bangs.
That I need pictures of,

LIGHTS MUST APPEAR!
I wish I could control time.
That'd be rad.

All sorts of stuff?

Draven — Fri, 18 Jul 2008 02:00:43 GMT

So, the contest I was in?
I won it!!!

Im gonna be flying to LA in the next 2-3 months to shoot.
I can't wait to see what kind of makeup theyre gonna be doing on me.

This weekend, Im going to Harrisburg for a photo shoot. Im gonna be in ads for some local piercing shop. So, Im getting all the free jewlery and plugs I want. So Im gonna get big tacky ones.
Glitter, pink, gaudy. HERE I COME! Yay!

Im gonna be shooting some sets for DN in the next few weeks.
I just gotta think of something rad. Shouldn't be tooooo hard. Between my girl and I at least.

Also, how hot are all these new live girls???
July is the best month everrrrrrrr.

I wish I had something more clever to say.
I just havent updated in forever, and I dont want anyone to think Im dead. hahaha.

<333

My washer broke

Draven — Mon, 07 Jul 2008 14:50:32 GMT

Sometime yesterday? I dunno.
The maintence man ended up banging on my door last night at 12:30 saying the dude who lived under me was like, swimming in his kitchen.
So, hes here to fix it now.
All I have to say is, KARMA.
The dude who lives under me is a complete asshat, and uh, yeah. Karmas a bitch!

So, today my girl and I get to go to Vienna, VA to see Ani Difranco and Melissa Ferrick in concert.
I AM SO PUMPED.
All Ive heard about Anis shows are that theyre amazing, and the last time I saw Melissa, I only got to see her play like 3 songs. I can't wait.
And, because Im the shit, I rented a hotel room for us. :D
My girl and I are gonna go swimming, and eat room service, and have loud hotel sex and see 2 rad ass women rock out.
Woooooo.

So, that contest I was in?
The voting ended yesterday, but, nothings been updated, so, I dont know if I won or not.
I REALLY hope I did. Because, ferreal Ive known about that site for a long ass time, and Ive wanted to be on it.
Not to mention, free trip to CA! Dravens never been off the east coast!
and Im gonna be sad if the other girl won. She has her own personal paysite and shit.
I think its a bit of an unfair advantage, but, whatever. I just hope I was able to pull through.

In other news, Im too hardcore for myspace.
The skateboard company I model for has gotten pictures of me deleted from like 2 separate shoots now. We're gonna have to start selling that, haha.
My like, ENTIRE last shoot was deemed innapropriate though.
We had the rad idea to have me chaining this guy up, then like, burning him with cigs and stealing his deck, all while wearing company shirts.
The shoot turned out fucking nastysauce. But, myspace said I was too demeaning and degrading.
Whatever, jay loved it.
Then again, maybe Im just too rad. ;D
You tell me.

The shoot was really fun, anyway.

Whats good with everyone else?

Draven

Its so fucking hot.

Draven — Sun, 29 Jun 2008 03:58:51 GMT

in my apartment.
Im waiting for the air to really kick in.

My girl fell asleep. So I opened a bottle of wine and got online, haha.
yay for sauced blogging.

My girl signed up for BA yesterday without me knowing [I think she has a crush on Chapel.]
I wish she would sign up for DN.
I dont think shes gonna sign up for every site Im on, though.
Which is LAME.
But, I have a journal here shes less likely to see.
If I need to vent? I dunno. Shes pretty rad.

MissD and Athorsett are also some rad people.
I wanna chill with you ladies some more!

I wish I was a lot closer to 21 than like 6 months.
But, 6 months is better than a year.

In other news.
Nutella on toast with coffee is my fav breakfast.

and Im shooting with a fabulous photographer named Denise for a skateboard co. Im with on monday.
Im so stoked!
I get to tie some guy up and gag him with like, a sock and the companies stickers.
Ill post pictures.

I wanna start my sleeve.

Gee, can you tell Ive had a few glasses of wine in this post?

Im so excited for July.
I hope Lola's set goes up.
GOD. I cant wait for you guys to see how freaking hot she is.
I wanna give it to her.
You hear me Lola? James got the pants, so I get you. ;D

<3

Draven — Wed, 25 Jun 2008 00:03:34 GMT

WOO! Check out my banner!

How rad is that??
That one totally takes it for my favorite site banner. Woo hoo!

In other news, went to Pride this weekend! It was rad. I got to see MissD after texting wars. and I got to see some kids I havent seen since like, high school. It was rad. It was my girls first pride. Im excited for next year, though. Cause uh, Ill be able to drink. and Pride is was more fun when youre sauced.

Also, Im in a contest right now that Im losing. :(
Its for another site, so Im not going to mention it here [cause thats how I roll]
but, if you want to take 5 seconds and help me out, the information is on my myspace.
I wouldn't mention it, but it means a lot to me...

Ink!

Draven — Tue, 10 Jun 2008 15:58:42 GMT

Yay! I got a new tattoo.

It was a portfolio piece for my tattoo artist friend, Halo. So, I didn't have to pay him, but when I got to the shop yesterday, I didn't know what I was going to be getting. haha.

In any case, it turned out rad and I got this sweet poison cupcake thing with a skull cherry and a razorblade. :D I LOVE IT.
Check it out!

See how happy I am?

Ohhh yeah!
and, Im on the latest issue of Skin Art magazine!
It's kind of a lame picture, and I haven't seen the actual magazine yet, but yaaaay!
I'm on the cover of a tattoo magazine!!!

Today has been pretty good so far.
My sister is back in town and everything. :D

Hope everyone else is great!
<3
Draven

Whaaaaat?

Draven — Sun, 08 Jun 2008 16:57:37 GMT

Check it out!
I have a new banner!
I have another set in the queue? Thats so rad. hahhaa.

In other news, Im getting tattooed today. and Ive decided to let my tattoo artist [who is also my best friend that I trust dearly] put whatever he wants on me, and I don't have to pay him. So Im stoked.

Ill upload pictures later. :D

What do you guys think of my new banner???

My girl is gonna be shooting some sets for me in a couple weeks after my tattoo heals, too. :D Cause I look different. haha

<333

EW.

Draven — Fri, 06 Jun 2008 21:55:44 GMT

So Im at home. and Ive been sick the past 2 days, and it sucks.
Especially since my girl had class and shit yesterday, and today she had to work.
She is off at 6, but I think shes gonna go rock climbing because shes all tough and butch and shit. hahaha. Kidding. a little.

She took me rock climbing, and uhh yeah. Check it out, I USED to be afraid of heights, right? Since then I love roller coasters and times where Im safe but feel like I could lose my life.
NOT ROCKCLIMBING. I didn't make it to the top, but I almost did. I trust my girl and all, but uhhh, yeah. That just freaked me out.
Ill probally try it again because I secretly hate myself.

Other than that.
I think Im gonna do some videos for another site Im on. Huzzah porn.

I wish I didn't feel so shitty.
and an appetite would be nice, too.
Bleh.

IIIIIII..

Draven — Fri, 30 May 2008 14:33:23 GMT

have my internet back!
Lets see how long it lasts this time. For some reason, comcast totally hates me.

I saw Duran Duran the other night and it was amazing. I think I liked it more this time, not the first time I saw them. My friend Kev had tickets 2 years ago, and this year for his birthday, and both years, he took me, because hes the shit and I love him.

I gotta get ready for work!

<3
Draven

Random?

Draven — Tue, 13 May 2008 16:11:19 GMT

So, right now Im just kinda hanging out, haha.
My girl goes to the gym everyday, so I get some time to be on the computer without her getting fussy. ;D
Today Maddie is getting her final *fingers crossed* sitting on her Dali half sleeve. She got the painting 'the seconds before awakening' [I think]. Its gonna be rad. It looks so good already.

Then tonight is MissD's birthday! I picked up a night shift so her and her mans and some friends could come in and celebrate and see some boobs and stuff. :D It's gonna be cool.

I need to get my hair done really bad. I went out and bought all the stuff to do it, but I need help with putting the bleach on the bottom half of my hair. And then, not getting any black in it. Bleh.

I wanna shoot another set soon.

Ohh, and I got a DN tshirt, so Im gonna shred it up all hot and wear it all over the place. Yay!

OMG!

Draven — Mon, 28 Apr 2008 00:10:23 GMT

MY SET IS LIVE!!!!

Huge thanks goes out to Matt for taking the pictures, and the lovely Emily for doing my makeup so nice. I love you guys so so much.

I'm so excited!!!
I haven't seen it yet, I'll have to look at it tonight when I get home.
How do I look? ;)

I'm so happy! Yaaay me!!!

I see theres already comments, which I can't read right now, but THANK YOU! if you posted one.
You guys are the bestest. <3333

xoxo
Draven!!

Been so long!

Draven — Fri, 25 Apr 2008 17:56:08 GMT

So, I moved! I'm at my new house with my puppy and my girlfriend and it's awesomesauce.
It looks so rad. It's all black and white and green. Black and white and neon colors is my favorite, and so my house is the shit. haha

We're gonna get another pup in a few days [hopefully] so that Cheeko has a friend. He doesn't like being alone. and I feel so bad leaving for work and maddie isn't home and he's all crying before I leave my building. :(

In other news. I haven't had internet in foreverrrr.
So all I've been doing is working and um, playing rock band.
Oh so interesting, isn't it? haha

Its so nice out in baltimore. We've had our patio door open for like a week.
Which, has definitly helped with the smell of paint. They painted like the day before we moved in or something crazy. Bleh.

Another site I'm on just revamped the whole site. It looks crazy and I'm so confused.
All the forum topics are gone, and they have this heinous picture of me as the main image. Oh and profile information from when my 1st set went live almost a year ago. I've changed it since. None of this would bother me, but my username and password aren't working. :(
Any other BA-ers have this problem, or does Mitch just wanna bug me? Pfft.

I hope my internet doesn't crap out.
I hate being so out of the loop. :(

Ouch.

Draven — Thu, 10 Apr 2008 18:42:49 GMT

So I'm really sore and I've had to bitch outta work the past couple days.

I hurt my back and stuff, its lame.

Went to this 'Sunday Service' thing in Harrisburg on sunday, it was pretty rad.
Woo Swollen. I was the only OSG there, haha. Go me.

Moving in like a week. I'm pumped, and Im nervous.
aaand I don't wanna start packing.

I wanna get a new tattoo.

Who watches Bravo?
I love those real housewives of nyc.
Its like high school with grownups.
and I like Jill cause shes all jewish and stuff.
and shes got a little dog thats mean
Shes kinda like my mom, hahaha.

Tell me a secret!

Here's a picture from sunday! You can see my monroe, kinda.

Yaaay!

Draven — Sat, 29 Mar 2008 01:00:31 GMT

We got the news today!
We got the apartment!
Im so excited. :D

So, Im staying at her place tonight, and tomorrow we're going to this pottery place to make something for our new house. Shes so cute.

My band is playing in the final battle of the bands thing on May 24th.
Should be rad.
Our newest song is about zombies. Chyeah. Who wants some?

Ooohhh. I ordered some work clothes off of trashy.com. That shit is so cute.
I'll have to shoot another set soon so that you guys can see them too. :D
Woo hah.

This one was random.
Just wanted to fill yous guys in. :D

Things happening!

Draven — Tue, 25 Mar 2008 01:02:22 GMT

So I haven't been writing in here. Sorry guys.

Kinda busy.
Things have been going well with the girlfriend, but not so well at home.
So we're getting our own place.
and Im psyched. We hear on wednesday if we got it. <3

Work has been alright.
Im getting less awkward onstage.
Who wants to come in and buy me a drink?

xxx
Draven

Been a while.

Draven — Sun, 09 Mar 2008 18:01:33 GMT

Since I posted a journal.
My internet got cut off. Sorry.

A new set of mine got posted over at BA, and I freaking LOVE it. Matt is totally teh shit at taking peeksures.<3
Also, when I went to the baltimore tattoo convention a few weeks ago or whatever, a tattoo mag company took a few pictures of me.
I checked my email, and they wanna do a feature on me in Tabu Tattoo [Which Joanna and Bella Vendetta were on the cover of!], so they emailed me this questionaire to fill out. :D
They said its gonna come out in early august for their summer issue.
I can't wait to see it!

Warning. Bad news below.
Thursday I started a new job as a dancer. After I got off and was hanging out with my sister [we work together] when our youngest sister called us.
Thursday night my dad passed away.
He was 56 and an alcoholic.
I'm in shock, it doesn't feel real, and I feel like hes gonna be there when I turn a corner.
I don't know how long its gonna take to sink in, but Ive cried more than I ever thought Id be able to.
and I know Im not done yet. :(

I don't know what else to say.
I feel so numb.

Woo Haha.

Draven — Tue, 26 Feb 2008 03:37:15 GMT

So the past few days have been kinda rad.

I went to the aquarium with the lady, and we took pictures and had all types of fun looking at the fish.
Shes my favorite.
Then, yesterday....I got my monroe pierced! I think it looks pretty rad, and Ill have pictures of it up soon enough. :D Yay face piercing!

Today my sister came with my lady and I to the science center. Theyres this Body Worlds 2 exhibit there, and its soooo freaking rad. They take all these people that donated their bodies, and put them through this plastination process and pose them and skin them and separate their muscles so you can see everything in the human body. Its CRAZY, but its the coolest thing ever. ferrrrealz.
They wouldn't let you take pictures in there. Pssh.

Pictures next time! When my lip isnt puffy anymore. :D

Who else has a monroe? How long did yours take to heal? Mind hasnt swelled too bad at all, just kinda puffy...

Okay, so Im lame. wif pitcha, yo.

Draven — Wed, 20 Feb 2008 07:59:40 GMT

but this is the only thing I really write in like that anymore.

She got over herself.
and now shes officially my lady.
Score!

Cause I mean, come on.
How cute are we?

I was trying to eat her face. Whatever.

It hasn't been like this before.
<3

Hardcore?

Draven — Mon, 18 Feb 2008 09:57:05 GMT

So, the show I played on friday, I guess went alright. Thats what I'm hearing. Im not so sure about how I sounded.
Oh yeah, did I mention that I caught strep throat on thursday? Yeah. Shit suckeddd.

In any case.
I hate insomnia. I'd love to be asleep right now, haha.

I did a figure study workshop the other day. It was pretty rad. I felt all cool cause there were a bunch of people taking pictures of me at once, and I just kept hearing that Kanye West 'Flashing Lights' song in my head. Paparazzi and shit. haha.

I have a photoshoot tomorrow with Harlot and it should be rad.
I'm excited to meet her. If you read this before tomorrow, I'm excited to meet you!
haha. woo.

Other than that, Im bored, aaaaand, I'm gonna try to get some shut eye.

If you live in Bmore and you're rad, you should ask to be my friend, btw.
I'm kinda cool. :D

VD

Draven — Thu, 14 Feb 2008 20:53:22 GMT

Soo. Went out and dropped a bit of cash on this set of 2 books that has all of Salvador Dali's work in it for the lady. She about shit herself.

Then she got me these freaking AWESOME 8" heels that wrap around my leg, and the straps have zippers on them. Theyre so rad. She remembered that my puppy chewed up one of my favorite pairs.

I'm not too big a fan of chocolate and flowers, so this was rad.
I dunno whats going on tonight.

Show tomorrow in Rising Sun! Wish me luck!
Ill probally be a little sauced. woo woo.

Happy VD everyone!
Don't catch one!

So. I can't believe it happened.

Draven — Wed, 13 Feb 2008 07:19:29 GMT

My show on sunday was a battle of the bands.
I mean, it wasnt some high school thing. It was put on my AP magazine or something. I dunno, my drummer arranged it.
In any case.
WE FUCKING WON!

So we got recording time and cash money. :D
Out of 9 bands, we were the last, and the only one to have a mosh pit.
'Cause we be metalll.
and my friends were there.
and my girl was smiling and making faces at me the whole time I was onstage.
She just kept telling me I had no reason to be nervous.
Shes so fucking rad. I don't get along with people the way we mesh.
I wanna keep her for a while. Actually kinda considering the G word. [girlfriend. yeah. well see. I dunno. haha]

In other news.
Carsinogen will be headlining the Rising Sun Community Center in Rising Sun on friday.
Im excited. :D
and uh, oh yeah. 'Cause we won the botb, the place were playing for finals is the fucking RECHER.
I saw AAF at the Recher. I can't believe I actually get to sing there.
Scary and exciting.

Its so icy in bmore right now. Its like death out there.
I want it to get warm.
Nowish would be sweet.

Girlish shriek!!

Draven — Sun, 10 Feb 2008 08:35:33 GMT

Ahh! Look! Look! Im purple!
That means Im legit! CHYEAH.
[Not the best banner on the planet...but, I cant really do that much about how pale I am...]

So. Went to the tattoo convention today!
A lady asked if I wanted to be in a tattoo magazine, so I said yes.
Then, when I was in my shoot, the photographer said to look for it in 3 months and... ILL PROBALLY BE ON THE COVER. jigga wha? Yeah.
I dunno if its ferrealz. Butttt, thatd be cool. I feel super happy to even be photographed, yanno?

Also. Got my right tragus pierced to match the right. aaaaand stretched my ears to a 0g.
My ears is kinda sore at the moment.

Tonight at practice, we went through the set, and its good.
I can't believe I actually fucking pulled it off.

Fletchers! Tomorrow! Carsinogen!
Im actually excited and not wanting to suddenly catch ebola.
Wish me luck. <333
