Day... Hmm. What day is it again?

I'm going to cheat a tiny bit. Because I took some pictures on my hiatus that I don't want to go to waste... so I'm just going to skip around a little. And since it's my blog, I can do whatever I want. Ha.

So Day 21!
This was Mother's Day, May 11. I took this at Agecroft Hall, which is this big house built in the 15th century that came from England... rebuilt in Richmond in the 20th. It started raining when we went to check out the gardens. I think that was the day my family went for fondue? And that was delicious, of course. I'm glad I was awake for this Mother's Day, last year I slept until like 6. Prom being the day before really isn't a good idea.



Day 22- May 15
They're going to kill me for this... actually, they probably won't ever read this. But if so, hey, don't kill me. I put up the most flattering picture I could find. :)
Anyway, I slept over at Katie's because it was her birthday... and I think this is a picture of her, Leah, and Alex performing "Supergeek"? They don't look very geeky. I love showchoir girls, haha. So yeah, they danced and then we did the Cupid Shuffle? And then they did this odd tribal dance that wasn't actually a tribal dance and I took a bunch of pictures but I'm not allowed to put any of them on the internet, lol. Sorry, this one's kind of just a bunch of inside jokes. Buttt yeah, fun night.

Day 23- May 16
Christine played at Jammin on the- oh, wait. I mean, Rockin Fur a Cause (=P) anddd was pretty awesome. No surprise there. Alec is pretty much a drum god now that some kid called him "BRUTAL!" What a cutie cool kid.
After that, I definitely did something but I can't remember what. I think I went to sam's house... oh yeah. And hung out with some people there. And felt like a little kid for not drinking, haha. Whatever, it was pretty fun.


Day 24- May 26
Ok, I'm starting for real. Right now. Tomorrow there's going to be a post, too. It's going to be awesome.
So apart from the show on Sunday and hanging out with sam and Maddie on Friday, this weekend has been super duper boring. Aaron wasn't here so I didn't have anyone to talk to because I don't talk to anyone, lmao. I was bored enough to re-start this thing. Whatever. This is the view outside my window if you look down. My room's been pretty much the only thing I've seen this weekend. It's been crazy awesome... not.
But hey. It's almost summer. I don't even care. Summer's going to be amazinggg. Can't wait.

So, ok. This was a pretty bad post, but whatever. Hey, I'll have some photo class pictures tomorrow, hopefully. First shooting assignment we've had in a while... making prints tomorrow, I'm hoping I got some good shots. Infrared kinda blows, my film came out way too light. We'll just have to see.


Ok, on second glance I decided that even though I don't have a picture, I'm going to talk about last night because it was pretty good and because I do what I want. I actually have no idea where that phrase is from... someone educate me? Aaron, Sam, sam, Maddie, and I went to The National to see Wild Sweet Orange even though they were just openers... they were pretty good. I got a shirt. I sang along.
And then we left before the headline act (haha for free tickets and leaving whenever) to get lost around Richmond some, and ended up at Buffalo Wild Wings. Our waitress was dumb. We got 50 boneless wings. They were good. Why am I writing like a kindergartener. Ummm after that Aaron actually managed to get us out of Richmond, yaaay Aaron. That was pretty much it. I actually got home really early. Ok, done.

It's been a while.

I figured I should start doing this again because I miss taking pictures. And because life is really good right now and I want to look back on this and be able to remind myself of how happy things were. I actually don't really have any recent pictures, other than this picture I took of myself on my mom's new camera. I'll probably start again tomorrow, because Aaron, sam, Maddie, (maybe Sam) and I are going to see Wild Sweet Orange at the National.
This weekend's been completely uneventful so far, but I actually worked tonight for the first time innnn I think 5 weeks. That's been annoying. My arms hurt but in a good way. :)

So basically this was just to let everyone know that I'm coming back. Because people actually used to read this. And it made me feel special. :)

Later, kidsssss.

Okay...

I think I may need to take a break from this for a while. In all honestly, I haven't taken a picture in 3 days. There are some people in my life whose relationships I need to focus on, and there's a certain person in my life who is draining all of my energy right now. It's unfortunate, but hopefully he'll soon come to his senses and realize he's just being immature and acting off of completely irrational feelings... I'm not holding my breath, but I can keep a little bit of faith that he's not the idiot who has taken over his body right now. We'll just see. Sorry.

Day 19 and 20

It's been a really boring past couple of days. Yesterday instead of doing AP US I counted how much change I had in my piggy bank and wallet... it was over $35. Pure madness. I need to take it to the credit union because they turn change into cash like Coinstar, but without the 8% fee. So maybe one of these days I'll get around to doing that. I think otherwise I'm just going to keep accumulating coins... it's insane how much that adds up, haha.
Uhhhh Sundays are always mind-numblingly boring, and I worked from 5 to 9. Erik, Aaron, and Rachel came to visit, but it was at a really bad time and I didn't get to talk to them :(. I hate consolidating.

And then I spent today entirely in my room... which I desperately want to redecorate. Not so much a fan of the NEON BRIGHT SEIZURE everything anymore, lol. There's really nothing to say about today. Have you ever looked in the mirror and thought that the person who has been talking in your head your entire life couldn't actually look like you look? I seem to have these weird disbelieving freak-out moments often. It's weird. Like the person who's been having the thoughts in my head aren't me, and therefore can't look like me... but then what has the person who looks like me been thinking? I don't really know how to explain that better. I'm crazy. Really don't have anything else to say, today was soooo boring.

...I hate blogs.

Haha I guess I don't actually hate them. I just hate having to be tied to things. Structure is good, but always having to do something in a certain way at a certain time drives me craaazy.

Day 14, April 1
Yeah, I didn't take the second picture... thank you, Erik!!!! I took the first one though, and even though it's not of Kimya Dawson (who I was the most excited to see, haha), it's one of my better pictures from the show. My camera isn't the best for dark places. Anyway, it was super fun and Kimya talked to Aaron a lot because he was insane and there weren't too many people there, so it had a nice feel to it. A little bit political, but I mean I guess it's ok to spread your opinions on anarchy to the people you're playing for, Spoonboy...? Oh yeah, Erik sucks at finding parking garages, Wendy's fries plus frosties are delicious, and getting lost (when you actually want to get lost) is probably one of my favorite activities, creepy roads or not.

Day 15, April 2
I went with my family to Friendly's... ick. I'm not a fan of Friendly's. Sure, they have ice cream, and that's always good. But I can't say the same about the real food or the service. But whatever, yay food. My sister got chocolate all over her face and wouldn't let me take a picture of her mouth, so you'll just have to pretend. I'm sure that Wednesday (?) was a terribly uneventful day.

Day 16, April 3
Haha, this picture has absolutely nothing with that day at all. I just liked it... I like shooting in macro. It makes everything small seem significant, and everything big just a blur. So I went to school and worked, but that day was good because I think finally mostly everyone knows I at least work there, if not my name yet. Yeah, that's kind of depressing... but it's what happens when you're quiet. The people I work with on Thursdays are awesome at finishing early, too. :)

Day 17, April 4
More macro... I've eaten almost an entire bag of peanut M&Ms since Thursday. Yum.
Friday I slept over at Erik and Christine's, like I've done almost every weekend since like
January. And we always somehow manage to make hours fly past without actually doing anything. What did we do Friday, we went to get food and suddenly it was midnight or something, and Molly and Laura came and we watched O Brother Where Art Thou, but I fell asleep. That's pretty much all we did, haha. Strange. Always fun, though.

Day 18, April 5
Yesterday was fun-filled... woke up, took a shower at my house, then went to Panera for lunch with a bunch of people. And we managed to talk for over 2 and a half hours straight. Haha it never ceases to amaze me how much girls can talk. Insaaane. Then I drove Maddie home and returned CDs to the library (I had around 10 or 15... I'm bad at returning things.), went home and burnt my finger in my toaster oven (the metal really didn't seem that hot), then went to see You Can't Take it With You! And that was hilarious. Christine was really funny, even though she didn't have to try too hard at her character... she's already a crazy old lady. The set was really cool, and I liked how the red-white-black theme got to all of the characters, though I think it would have been perfect if Morgan's character was wearing red, white, and black when she took off her pink jacket once she finally accepts her family the way it is... but that's okay.
So after that I went home and my dad said he has disposable cameras that have rolls that need to be finished, so I guess I'll be playing around with those a little. Though they're not nearly as much fun as SLR's...



I'm happy to know that there are some fools who actually read this! I hadn't realized I hadn't enabled it so everyone could comment, but now I'm pretty sure you don't need an account to comment my blog. So comment it! I'd like all of your feedback. :) I'll get a picture of today up hopefully tonight; I haven't seen anything of interest yet.

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. :)
