Journal Bits - 04/29

I'm getting better in Judo. JV match next Tuesday, you should come watch me attempt to kick butt? I think I gained weight. =]]]

I took some cool 365s today. Of course, they are nowhere to be found on my memory card. Currently running a Card Recovery program to see if I deleted them. It's taking... for... ever.

JL's birthday was yesterday! I wrote him the cutest story everrrr, with lots of colored markers and all that stuff. Last this week we'll go on my super secret surprise date. Except he sort of knows about it, damn. He's permitted as of today. It's about time. And my aunt's car mechanic is in Oregon until Friday.
Blahhhh.

Life is an ass

My poor car.
I drove it for approximately one block before it went up in smoke and a bicyclist yelled at me. Thankfully, the person teaching me called him a jerk and told him to get lost. At least I know how to start a stick shift.

Will be a fucking while before I can drive it again. FML.
For now it's sitting at someone else's house.

And yesterday, I drove home from past the Hood Canal and you know what happened? A rock fell out of nowhere and chipped the windshield of my aunt's car. And before that? My car rolled down my aunt's driveway with the door open, hitting the door on a mailbox. The door fell off a hinge. (That was while my aunt still had it).

I'm cursed, there's no doubt.

What do you do

when you find out something you wish you hadn't stumbled upon.
it's in the past. do you bring it up to potentially ruin time? or leave it inside to wilt your spirit.
it's always better knowing, isn't it?

someone answer me.

Success?

Finally, after a long streak of crappy photos I am now satisfied with the ones I took today.
If you have a flickr, add me! Click for photos.

Such a busy weekend. JL got to come over today for a teeny bit, enough to get some cute pictures at least, hahaha. Basically, I'm glad I started this project. I'm super unknown in the Flickr "communtity", but it's good for me. I'm on myspace less, and there's no time for me to be even remotely involved in childish drama. I hope I get somewhere with my 365 though. Like, a name some people might know? I'm nowhere near that now, but I guess you improve as you go.
It requires skill and thought... not just a nice camera. (In case that's what you're thinking). A nicer camera gives better quality but what's the quality worth if you don't have ideas or meaningful thoughts? Ugh.

I feel a strain

Must do a good 365 tomorrow. I'm not letting my D60 go to waste on pointless photos for this project. I don't even know, dude. I need some more inspiration and a white wall. Lmao.

So freaking tired. There's no time for anything anymore. Finally the weekend... learning stick, thrifting at last with Susane (?), and preparing for JL's humungo surprise. Though, I still need to work at the details. It'll be a nice weekend I'm hoping.

Ahh, you stupid people. You no longer bother me. I've learned to see past your level of maturity of lack thereof.

Seattle/Freemont! (11/365)

[Damnit, I tried to resize the picture on here so nothing was cut out, but now we looked deformed. Click the picture to get to FLICKR. It's all there, much better to look at.]

Yay for self-timer! Absolutely need to get better at this 365 thing.
Took so many pictures today, mass uploading and fixing on GIMP now to enter some in photo competition.

No time to blog, no time to take good pictures, no time for math homework. Where have the hours gone?

A sunny epiphany

Something about lately, I don't know what, but it's making me feel like I haven't felt in a long time. At the moment, it seems as though nothing is wrong with life even though I consciously know that there is. Like, I know that I'm totally bombing the science WASL and that I need to get my act together before IB, yet things just feel so okay. I feel motivated to change these things but they're not getting me down anymore. Hard to explain I guess. Maybe it's the weather? Maybe it's JL's promise? Maybe it's the fact that I'm gaining lots of good weight? Maybe it's because Emily's home again? Perhaps it's project 365.

I don't know. But whatever it is, it's making me the happiest I've been in quite a long time.

Life is better warmer

FLICKR, link's on the side.
Sorry if I'm annoying. I'm trying to promote and get somewhere in the large and vast photography community.

So it seems I've found delight in a spoon: Dryer's peppermint ice cream. Good grief, it's delicious.

I haven't been blogging too much lately. Photography's sort of taking up the hours in the day. I'm trying hard at it and so far it's proven a minor success. We'll have to see though as the days go by.

Tomorrow is the wild waves job meeting, ahh! I'm nervous. Interviews on the spot. Then back to KM for photography leadership points. It'll be a reaaaally long day. I don't even know what to wear.

Still no fail

FLICKR.

Only positives

• 365 project is not a bust so far. Though I'm only on day three... And posting a picture everyday on here would get annoying, so follow for yourselves. CLICK. (Flickr)
• I now eat two dinners a day as a way of gaining weight. I'm pretty determined now, and there's nothing wrong with food :)
• Got my glasses, finally. Later this month I can get new frames since the model I originally chose is shitty.
• No homework. Enough said.
• Purses/handbags on super clearance at Target... I just couldn't resist, $4.74! I almost bought two, put then I thought about my lack of funds and but the second back.
• Learning how to drive stick soon, finally.
• I'm on a creative streak. Writing, ideas, photos, etc.

It's been good!
