Days 10-13

Day 10, March 28
Alright, I can't remember what I did that day because I'm tired from work and I'm somewhat of an idiot. I slept over at Christine's and we went to the lake to see the sunset and then a cop came and asked us if we lived in Brandermill, which was stupid. Even though I live in Brandermill. But I found out that Christine is the worst person to take portraits of. Not because of looks, because she's beautiful. But because she squirms like a two year old, hahaha. Anyway, we went back to her house and managed to make time go by at lightning speed because suddenly it was 3 AM and time to go to sleep. But then I woke up and it was my birthday!

Day 11, March 29
Haha Christine made me muffins. And one giganto monster muffin that could have eaten me. And Erik and Maddie made me an awesome cake covered in M&Ms, but then I had to go home and I kinda sat at home for a while and that was depressing. Then I went to the French Film Festival in Richmond and that was interesting. Basically, it reminded me that I've been taking French for, what? 5 and a half years? And still don't know anything. But oh well. Then I did birthday stuff with my family and then went to Sam's and then slept over with everyone at Erik's and got no sleep, but it was funnnn.

Day 12, March 30
So I got some cool stuff for my birthday, like laptop speakers and a photo enlarger, but I still have SO MUCH STUFF to buy before I can make my bathroom a darkroom. Yeah, Sunday was boring. All I did was homework. And I couldn't concentrate on anything so I ended up going to Panera to do most of it, so at least I got a good meal out of it.











Day 13, March 31
Man, this picture and the one before that suck. I haven't done anything exciting and the weather's been so bad, so I apologize.
This picture's been on my whiteboard for like a year. Haha it's from when my sister was just learning how to read and write, and it's so cute I can't erase it.
Blahhhh, back to school. I'm so freaking tired... and then I had work, but that was actually cool. So yeah.
I'm terrible at serious conversations. I've been having a lot lately and I can't do them. I can't keep my thoughts straight and end up sounding like an idiot and even semi-serious conversations with Maddie and Christine in Research Tech freak me the hell out. Blahhh.


I have way too much homework to do to be spending too much time on making this pretty. So yeah, later.

Project 365: Day 9

Look! I'm keeping up! Haha I'm proud of myself.
Anyway, this is Humbert Humbert. Like the creepy man in Lolita. Because, well, he's creepy. This freaking insect I found flying around noisily in my room YESTERDAY. And I mean noisily. I locked him in my bathroom last night and he managed to get out and WAKE ME UP. And he's still hanging around, stalking me. So I figured I'd adopt him as my pet and name him. What a freak. Although I'm home from work now and I'm not sure where he is... Seriously though, he's gigantic and scary and smart enough to crawl underneath a door or whatever he did to come back in my room.

So today was pretty uneventful, I bought Vampire Weekend and have totally been jamming to that everywhere (I only had it on my computer and dead Zune before). Everywhere except work! I was doing dishes and actually not dreading it too terribly because I knew I actually had CDs in my car, but the CD player doesn't play CDs. It was sad. But (excitement) my paycheck was over $100 today. Yaaaay! Time to... not spend any of it. I'd like to have over $100 in my bank account at all times, and it hasn't even been close to that lately.

Yeah, today was boring. Later.
Oh yeah! My birthday is in 2 days. Yaaaay R-rated movies. :)

Day I'm a Failure- 2 through 7?

Blah blah blah, so I suck at blogging. Haha deal with it.
Day 2, March 20
Christine's birthday! It was good and there were GIGANTIC cupcakes and cute balloons and I wish I hadn't had to work or else I would have totally celebrated with her. But I had to settle for celebrating at school. :(
Anyway, YAY she's 17! We're getting old, goodness gracious. I love Christine lots and lots and lots and I hope she knows that even though I don't know how to tell or show her most of the time. She's a great friend and an awesome person, and I'm pretty honored to say I know her.

Day 3, March 21

For a while I couldn't remember what the hell happened today, but then it all came back to me. Aaron and I went over to Sam's house for a while and then managed to waste the 2 hours between then and meeting Erik and Sam at Panera. We tested out Erik's new convertible! And we watched Across the Universe at Erik's, then I went home and stayed up till 4 AM (that's what this is a picture of, haha) for no reason. Hmm, may have been the Dunkin Donuts cinnamon iced coffee.


Day 4, March 22
Uhhh I think that day was good? I don't really remember... I ended up going shopping with my mom and sister, going to the library, and going shopping with Erik and Leslie (where I bought the most comfortable pair of pants EVER). What a day for consumerism. And then I hung out for a bit at Erik's and Aaron drove me to a sick Maddie's house, and we hung out in Rachel's room and I took a picture and it looks like they're at summer camp. Love themmmm!!! They're pretty much my favoritest people ever. And Rachel makes me laugh too much and then tells me my nose gets all funny when I laugh really hard. Haha I still haven't forgotten that.

Day 5, March 23
Turns out that if you set the white balance to manual and say that red is white (I think that's what I did, though it may have been yellow), the world turns blue. I dunno, I like this picture.
Yeah, this was Easter. And Day 1 of my Virginia College Tour of Doom. We found this random restaurant in... Roanoke? Called The Fried Pickle and it was really cool, it was like a 50's diner and it had chalkboard ceiling tiles with weird phrases written on them, like "If they arrest the Energizer Bunny, do they charge him with battery?" I wish I could post more pictures, but it's one a day. But yeah, I went a little camera crazy there. Oh yeah, and I got a Hula Burger. Hamburger with barbecue sauce, provolone, and PINEAPPLE. Crazy. Delicious. Emphasis on the crazy, I guess. No, emphasis on delicious. So good.

Day 6, March 24

Man, I had such a tough time choosing a picture for today. UVA has such a beautiful campus, I can soooo see myself there, if I can get in. Charlottesville is a cool town, and the indie radio station I listen to is set there, so I know there's a fairly good musical knowledge scene there.
I can seriously not wait for college. New people, new experiences, freedom, screwing up. I'm excited. I'm just not excited about having to make these new friends, because I'm horrible at that. But I'm just ready to get out of everything that's been familiar to me for the past 10 or so years and make some new familiarities. I mean, I'd totally consider going to VCU if it wasn't so close to home. I'm terrified of becoming like so many other Midlothian soccer moms and living in the same suburb for the rest of my life. I'm ready to start something new. Yeah, so it's over a year away... it's about time I start thinking about it, though.


Day 7- March 25
I like this picture. It's... disjointed. Not my best, but oh well. This was Harpers Ferry, WV. I don't have much else to say about it, except it was freezing cold and I honestly don't care about John Brown at all. Not a good day, and we ended up eating a Burger King for dinner. And I felt like crap. But then we went home, and that was happy. I finished The Virgin Suicides, which was a bit odd but overall pretty good, I guess?

Day 8- March 27

Today I went to Busch Gardens with Maddie, Erik, Rachel, and Leslie. I think I'll just let my Myspace bulletin speak for itself:

today i got hot and sunburnt for the first time this year (yesss!!), had my hair french-braided, borrowed some of maddies books, rode in a convertible with the top down, made lots of plans, saw horton hears a who, and laughed at the stupid puffball creature for wayyy longer than i should have.

So yesss, lots of fun. Erik looks pretty, well, Erik. :) <3>

Project 365: Day 1

Well, I'm completely horrible at keeping blogs up. I start them, write a couple entries, and then completely forget about them. I've been getting a whole lot better than since I was... oh, twelve, but even so, lately I've been neglecting the journal I've been keeping up for over a year.
But I was looking at my friend Katrina's Myspace and noticed on her profile it said she was participating in Project 366. I of course was bored and curious, so I clicked on the link, and lo and behold, I was suddenly at the website that I feel was created for me (haha and why wouldn't it be?) so I could A. have an excuse to take pictures all the time, B. keep up with a blog, and C. show off my photographic prowess without looking like a total narcissist, ala Myspace.

So! Triumphant music. I took my first picture today. It's not a good one, because it was extremely rushed, but oh well. It's a picture of the party section of Target! Because I bought Christine birthday stuff today! And it was fun except for the fact that I didn't have time to do much of anything. But oh well, it's life. Christine's birthday marks the commencement of basically Birthday Week, with Christine's on the 20th, Trish's on the 21st, Aaron's on the 23rd, and Sam's and my birthday is on the 29th. So yeah, lots of fun and lots of cake.

I don't really have much else to say, except I love warm days and I make kick-ass mix CDs.
