So yeah, I think I can actually do this college thing...TLU is turning out to be quite a bit harder than Lamar, but I might /might/ MIGHT be able to make it out of this semester without my scholarship going on academic probation. I honestly have no clue what I'd do without that money. Drop out of college I assume.

I hope everyone's been kinds sorta maybe enjoying my pictures/stories lately. Not that I've ever cared about that before.

So yeah, I think I have a job at TLU - I go to events held on campus and take pictures, give the pictures to my boss, and get paid. Simple, really. Essentially, I'm getting paid for something I'd do anyway.

I turned 19 yesterday (well, day before cuz it's past midnight. It was pretty normal til I was kidnapped by my freaking awesome friends. My first ever surprise birthday party. Pretty much epic win.

I've been bored since my roommate isn't back yet, so I'm looking at PLZ accounts. Kind of sad, actually, how many there are. Here are a few good ones...okay maybe not good, but they gave me amusement, albeit slight.















So how is everyone else? Anything interesting been happening?

Now that I've finished /that/...
Oi! You! Don't forget the poetry contest. I've gotten very few entries, and it'll be a rather boring contest if no one enters. Here's a link again, in case you missed it.
[link]
Now enter. Please? You've only got 34 days left!

So now about me. I'm enrolled at Texas Lutheran University this semester, taking all my lovely upper-level classes. This involves a bunch of reading, but I don't really have that many friends yet ( ) so I should still be able to keep up with online things fairly well. I'm taking a creative writing of fiction class this semester, so for those of you who kept up with my poetry from last semester's creative writing of poetry class, you may get some short stories every so often. They'll be upwards of 3 pages in length though, so it might take some planning to actually sit down and read them. They'll be worth your time though. I promise you that.
I'm going to post a few pictures of the campus after I finish this journal, so you can get a fairly decent view of what I'm living around. For those of you who are Facebook friends, I've got videos of campus up for you to check out. My honors directed readings class is going on a field trip this coming Monday to an abandoned park project. If I get a chance, I'm going to snap a few photos. Whether or not they'll be of artistic quality is another matter entirely, however, so you may or may not see them.
Andi is in New Jersey this year, and the long distance thing is going to be rather taxing. So if you hear any pining on my part, get over it.
I inadvertently bought skinny jeans the other day. Something I thought I'd never do. They're...odd. I could get used to it if I wanted to, but I don't think I'll be buying any more of them anytime soon.
The book I'm reading for my honors class is...weird. It's about what would happen if humans just suddenly disappeared. It gives you a rather surreal feeling aferwards. Hence my mood. Dazed and detached...

Yes, that's good. Now if you would be so kind as to check out this news article I recently posted.
[link]
I'd appreciate it if you did. It won't take but a minute.

If you're not interested, maybe you could show it to someone who would be? As a favor to me? I'd owe you one. I'd really like to spread the word and get more of a response than the judges and I can handle. That would be really cool.

"Why are you taking pictures of my house?"
"Oh, this is your house?"
*incredulous look*
"I'm sorry, I didn't know this was your house. I haven't taken any pictures yet and I won't take any. Sorry." *walk off*

Just realized that. I found it striking and meaningful. Or maybe I just put too much thought into it.

In a creative slump. I suppose it's "photographer's block," although I also have writer's block. Some time off of work, or simply quitting my job should help. Alas, I've still got 2 1/2 weeks. However, I will spend this weekend in a place where I will be taking photographs. Expect some uploads.

Meh.

I'm in the middle of editing pictures from my new DSLR to post for your viewing pleasure. All of them are either from the rodeo I went to two weekends ago or from a random photo shoot I did with Amanda that same weekend. Nothing really strikingly artistic, although I do very much like the way they turned out.

I'm slowly learning my way around the DSLR's controls. I still have a little bit of trouble with the aperture, but I'll figure it out in time. At the moment I'm waiting for GIMP to finish applying a filter to one of my failed shots.

Certain shots that aren't pleasing in terms of light I just apply filters to and call it art. i think it works well that way.

It's storming outside. And I hear random noises that are freaking me out. And I'm getting tired. G'night.

Yes, My Cannon Rebel XSI DSLR is here. I got it over others per Olea's suggestion. I've played with it a little, but I haven't really had much time.

Got my second walmart paycheck today. $400+. It might make up for all the bad stuff that goes on while I'm working. Some people just don't understand that new people are going to make /mistakes/. Yes, I intentionally opened an extra package of meat to spite walmart and waste food. Aren't I so evil?

ANDI'S GOING TO BE HERE TOMORROW! She'll be with me for the whole weekend, so expect even less activity than usual.

I do have some last pictures from my old camera to upload (I'll still be carrying it around with me for random shots - most artistic stuff will be with the DSLR though). I'll get to those as soon as possible.

Hope everyone's doing alright.

I'm chilling at home (home-home, not dorm-home). Graduation is awesome. It feels so odd to have money. If all goes as planned, I will hopefully buy a Cannon Rebel XSI with my graduation funds.

I'm having a graduation party this weekend at my Grandparent's house. Should be fun. Maybe Andi will be able to come...*crosses fingers*

I recently spent about $40 through Amazon buying myself Graduation presents and Father's day/birthday gifts. I got myself Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist, Cage the Elephant (a CD by Cage the Elephant >.< ) , Robot Chicken Season One, and Paper Cathedrals (an AMAZING book of poetry).

I'll be starting my next semester at Texas Lutheran in Seguin, TX - hit me up if you live anywhere near there.

I've started a new experiment - if it turns out, I'll keep y'all updated. I need to put together another experiment I've finished...that might be my task for tonight...along with e-mailing my admissions rep at TLU.

I got a job at Wal-Mart today in the deli. It's part time, but it was heck to find a job in the first place, so I'm not going to argue with anything.

How is everyone else?

Buy one! Ready, set, go!

Graduation is this Friday. It'll come whether I'm ready for it or not, so there's really no point in worrying.

I've updated all the copyright and creative commons licenses on my photos - please double-check before you use them.

I just finished a freaking annoying research paper. SO glad that's out of the way.

I really don't have anything else to say... XD

It's kind of expensive, I know. But that's not really my fault.
Anyway, other than making that, I've been getting ready for prom and graduation. I'm pretty sure I'm going to Texas Lutheran in Seguin for college. Let me know if you're from around there so we can hang out!
And I can't think of anything else to say...so this journal is pretty much an advertisement.

My parents have always told me they'll pay for two years of college. This May 8th, my time at TALH and Lamar will end, as will my first two college years. SO I'm pretty much on my own in terms of finances, which is going to be a witch with a capital B.

I'm still wavering between 4 colleges (U Mass Amherst in Amherst [MA], Midwestern in Wichita Falls [TX], Southwestern in Georgetown [TX], and TLU in Seguine [TX]) and from the numbers I've gotten so far, I need to find somewhere between $602 and $5,812 for my first year.

But enough of my whining. If I remember, I'll be uploading some more pictures later this weekend. I get to go to a concert Saturday evening with some other TALH kids, and Forever The Sickest Kids is playing. I'm not really a fan of them, per se, but their music is pretty good, they just seem a tad generic to me (with the exception of their name).

Andi and I have our one-year anniversary coming up this Thursday. That should be fun - I plan to take her out to dinner then go to the Southeast Texas State Fair. I hope it'll be fun.

I had two terrible tests yesterday, Brit Lit and Trig. I think I did decently well on both, moreso in Brit Lit though. And because of those tests, I've been staying up til about 2 every night. I'm SOOO looking forward to sleeping in tomorrow morning.

Dude, dA just crashed. Lucky I tried to submit a deviation before all of this text. It would’ve sucked to lose it all. Some weird error…I wonder what’s up? Huh…it’s fixed now…apparently. >.<

So how's everyone else doing?

The Lamar internet is being really slow at the moment, but hopefully it'll speed up soon so I can upload some more pictures.
I actually can't think of anything really to type...I finished playing F.E.A.R. It had a really creepy ending...I'm trying to find out which of my 4 college choices (yes, the number has increased) will give me the most money...and...idk. >.<

~My classes /are/ going to kill me (Seriously; honors brit lit, creative writing [A junior level class when I'm not even technically a freshman], trig, and economics? I'm dead already. Wave goodbye to my GPA for me).
~I'm excited to get DnD sessions back up and running (I'm a wizard this year, for those of you who kept up with my cleric last year).
~I can't get scholarship money worth crap, apparently.
~I've narrowed down my college choice between the University of Massachusetts Amherst (which I have still not been accepted to because they still haven't gotten my transcript) and Midwestern State University (the one really close to home). My family wants me at Midwestern, but I want to be at U Mass Amherst.
~Christmas presents I can remember:
Guitar Hero III (the controller already broke - sending it in for a replacement),
Game Stop giftcards (used to buy Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory, Metal Gear Solid 3, Madagascar [for my little brother] and Street Fighter Anniversary edition),
a camera case,
The Golden Compass (both the book and the movie),
foodstuffs galore,
What Women Want,
Robot Chicken season 3,
CDs (Anberlin, Plain White T's, and The Hush Sound),
and an iTunes gift card.
~I am in love with the stumble button (It actually led me to a site where I could legally download two albums of really cool music for free [see "Listening to" section]).
~There is the hope that I will get a Digital SLR for a graduation gift.
~My cousin got married recently (I was the acolyte at the wedding).
~I have pictures and will be uploading more soon. I'm also going on a photo-taking adventure tomorrow, so expect uploads.

I'm kinda dreading the coming weeks because of finals, but I kinda like it cuz it means Christmas time.
I can't wait to give out presents. I should make something for my dA profile too...
Colleges: I'm considering going to the University of Massachusetts Amherst or Midwestern University (in Texas). I'll have to see if UMass Amherst accepts me first though...
Anyway, off to walk my girl to class. Later y'all.

(For those of you who bother to follow the rules, you're not supposed to sell prints until you're 18)
I'm only going to select a few for prints - if you're interested in one that isn't available as a print, just let me know - I'd be more than happy to accomidate you.

I apparently can't vote because I'm not in the county my parents live in. That sucks.
It was getting colder, but now it's gone and warmed up again. That's annoying.

But anyway, I donated blood for the second time this afternoon. Fun stuff. I'm apparently B+ (which doesn't really mesh with the clinical depression, but meh XD).

Andi has been sick, so I've been fawning over her lately. She claims she's been feeling better, now if only she would eat something...but we'll work on that soon.

I hope I haven't exhausted anyone with the 10 deviations a day, but it's a really effective way to catch up.

I've been doing college apps. Fun stuff. Not really. Now I just need to write those 3 entrance essays...

Spanish test today went...okay. I'm really worried about my Am Lit and Am Gov tests coming up though...

This is a very scatterbrained journal.

And now, I have a few words for all of you. Llama. Penguin. Squirrel. Nonsensical. Militia. Compasson. Abbreviation.

Thank you.

For those of you who don't know about Ike (that'd be my watchers from across the pond and possibly olea, and heaven only knows who else), Ike was a hurricane that hit the Texas coast full on just shy of a category 3 on September 12th. My college is in Beaumont, Texas, not far at all from the coast. Needless to say, there was quite a bit of damage, and parts of downtown beaumont were under 6 feet of water. Thank goodness not the dorms, cuz that would've killed my computer. XD But anyway, according to the president of the college, we should be back sometime in the middle of next week (Sept 25th is Wednesday).

]]> ~AsSubtleAsASplinter http://AsSubtleAsASplinter.deviantart.com/journal/20337057/ http://AsSubtleAsASplinter.deviantart.com/journal/20337057/ Fri, 05 Sep 2008 08:38:02 PDT So I'm chilling in my room, waiting for Andi to get out of class so I can walk her to her next one. She's busy until 3 today because of a make-up lab from Gustav (hereon referred to as Gus). He made us evacuate, Gus did. It was ratehr annoying...I was stuck in a car for 7 1/2 hours on the trip back to Beaumont. That was hell. We amused ourselves by killing love bugs with winsheild cleaner and sitting on the window, not to mention I managed to scare Christine (one of the carpoolers) 5 times during the round trip.
So I crashed in Huntsville Friday night through Tuesday afternoon. Played a bunch of Halo 3. Did homework. Got invited to beer pong. XD I'm not even freaking 18! I'm not gonna go drink! >.< Not to mention beer tastes nasty.
So the family's 6 hours away in Bowie...I doubt I'll be going "home" anytime soon, although can I really call it home if I've only seen it once, and that was when someone else was still living there and we hadn't bought it yet? But anyway...
I'll work on uploading pictures whenever I get a decent ammount on my camera and get around to putting them on my computer. At the moment, there's nothing on my memory card, so savor those 13 pictures. They may be the only ones you get for awhile.

the family's moving to Bowie, TX. it's about an hour northeast of Fort Worth. That means about 6 hours to get home, and probably not going home often at all.
Totally tired of the bickering between siblings, stress, and drama at home, and yest oddly enough I'm going to miss it...
There's not really much more to say...I need to edit some pictures for upload...I'm done packing...just sitting around, waiting for tomorrow...which can't come soon enough.

]]> ~AsSubtleAsASplinter http://AsSubtleAsASplinter.deviantart.com/journal/19923056/ http://AsSubtleAsASplinter.deviantart.com/journal/19923056/ Tue, 12 Aug 2008 20:02:16 PDT But anyway, so I've finished uploading all my pictures - no more annoying "10 new deviations" messages for all you watchers.
Life at the moment is...okay, I suppose. I'm getting to see my amazing girlfriend quite often, but not often enough for my tastes. I'm headed back to school on the 20th (classes start the 25th), and I just finished buying my $120+ dollars worth of groceries. >.<
I just finished re-reading half my comics and realizing how bad some of them really are. Oh well, I suppose it's hit and miss.
So I'm totally ready for DnD to start. I just finished listening to a podcast that played out a 4e campaign, and it was really funny. My wizard (Bjorn) should be quite the bad-arse.
I'm headed to the Woodlands, TX tomorrow to see Andi, and I couldn't be more excited about that. I get to see her Friday through Sunday too, and that'll be cool. Then the Wednesday after that is the 20th, so woo hoo!
Now if only I could start feeling better...

You can blame my dad. We were just trying to put more ram in, and it crashed. No clue as to why. But I only really lost like...40 pictures or so. I mean, it's bad and all, but we didn't know it was gonna crash, and there's not really much we can do about it now.
So, it's summer. It's been almost a whole month, and I still don't have a job. No real reason - I just can't find one. And summer is also heck when it's away from your girlfriend. My gosh, I miss her so much. I get to see her sometimes, but only like once a week, at the most. Most of the time it's only like twice a month...or so my parents say it will be. Considering it's only been one month since summer started, we'll see how well that works out.
So I don't really have anything interesting to say. Just thought I'd share what's been happening (as if anyone really cares. XD )

That means tomorrow is Tuesday. Tuesday is the day I leave. Don't get me wrong - I love the family & all - I really wanna see them. But I don't wanna leave Andi.
So I don't think I'll make my goal of posting all the pictures I have before I leave if I only upload 5 or 6 a day. I may have to upload a few more - probably later tonight.
I've got absolutely nothing to do today. I mean, I'll be studying for my Geology final, but other than that, I'm just gonna be a bum.
But in order to be a bum, I have to be ready to do other things, just in case I get dragged along somewhere. Therefore I'm off to the shower. Check out the new piictures I've uploaded, okay?

]]> ~AsSubtleAsASplinter http://AsSubtleAsASplinter.deviantart.com/journal/18075756/ http://AsSubtleAsASplinter.deviantart.com/journal/18075756/ Mon, 28 Apr 2008 18:15:25 PDT Wednesday, March 26th was the day we got together. What do I have planned for tomorrow? Nothing really...I know, terrible, aren't I? Mind you, it is finals though.
Ah, finals. The week we all dread. All of my finals are at 8 a.m. (ouch), and I'm only exempt from one (Algebra, the evil subject, of all things). Another bad thing about finals is that it's closer to the 6th, moveout day. Call me crazy, but I like it here. Not to mention I'm closer to her...
So in case you haven't clicked to see those new deviations yet, I uploaded 5 or so more geometric designs. I've got some semi-vector looking things and a couple comics coming up, as well as some photographs. I'll be sure and upload them all before I leave on the 6th, because I probably won't boot up this computer until I get back.
Tomorrow's dead day, and it's crammed full of fun, not studying. We've got our last session of DnD sometime, with the ultimate fight of doom (a.k.a. End Campaign). Preceeding or following that, I'm going to go help prep for graduation (I'm tech support XD), and sometime later, after normal high schoolers get out, we're going to the movies and laser tag. Gonna see "Prom Night," which is apparently creepy.
I've got to figure out whether or not my mom will buy me a yearbook, otherwise I may have to opt-out of laser tag...We shall see.

So I /finally/ scanned in about 10 geometric/semi-vector designs and 2 comics, and I'll edit them when I get back to the dorms, and hopefully post them soon afterward.
I also took a bunch of pictures at the park today, but they're just gonna get trapped in the backlogs of my upload files. *sigh* I'd so love just to spend an afternoon uploading all of my pictures, but I'd get my head chopped off for stealing all the dorm bandwidth, and probably loose a lot of watchers in the process. (Just imagine..."42 new deviations" XD lqtm)
On the plus side, +3000 page views. ^_^
Gosh I miss her...

Amanda and I are wonderful, thanks for asking. I went to the beach with her (and her parents) this weekend and had tons of fun. There are multiple pictures, most of which will probably take awhile to post, considering the backlog of things I still need to put up from other trips. I'm terribly sunburt on my arms and face, but it was totally worth it.
My research paper is due tomorrow, and I'm sincerely hoping that I can maintain at least a B in Composition class. If I bomb this paper, I'm SOL, but hopefully that won't happen.
So I won't be able to register for classes until late Monday, after the rest of campus has had a shot at it. My parent's fault, but I can't really fault them. With the haphazard manner I've been doing things lately, I'd be a hypocrite to criticize them. Hopefully I'll be able to get into all of my classes anyway.
So I've got to find a job this summer. My mom might hook me up with the bank, but IDK.
So...that's all for now. Yeah.

Wanna know why? Guess. No, really - guess. *sigh* Fine, I'll tell you: I've got an amazing, beautiful girlfriend as of Wednesday. I couldn't have asked for more.
Other than that, I've been trying to whittle down the uber long list of things I need to do. If senior year is anything like this, I'm going to go crazy.
I've still got pics to upload - I'll do a handful before I leave for church.
There's not really much else to say, except to reiterate how perfect she is. Who, you ask? Andi. for those of you that know her that way. [link]

There'll be pictures from that up later, I suppose. Tuesday and Wednesday I was a general bum, lying about the house and such. Thursday and Friday I worked, mostly to get money for the load of stuff I'm going to need it for (Prom, Jr.T shirt, Warped Tour tickets, P!ATD's new album, ect...). I burned the brush from a field and helped build a horse shelter. Friday after work I went to see "Horton Hears A Who" with Caitlin, which was fun. Overall good movie, even though it's corniness was meant for kids.
Now that I'm back, there's plenty to do. Profs never give us a break, and I've got a paper due tomorrow and a quiz in about an hour. I've got to run errands for things I need to get done before the end of the week, and I'm leaving on Thursday to go back home (It's Holy Week, for those of you that don't know).
So I'll upload a handful of pictures now, and do more later.

The real point of this journal is to tell you that I'm away from the computer with all of my pictures on it, so I can't upload any.
Ethel just crashed on me again when I tried to install Windows Live, which is sad, because it will run AIM just fine. Mind you, I only really talk to one person on Windows Live, but I really want to talk to them right now. *pines*
Anywho, so it's three weeks to prom, and discussion about it is rampant. My "date" for the TALH prom is my surrogate big sister, Ashley. She still hasn't found a dress she likes that she can afford and that fits. Why they have to cost so much is beyond me. I mean, us guys have it easy - rent a tux for a semi-exuberant price, then return it afterwards. No hassle. My "date" to the Crockett prom is Caitlin, and I'm honestly not sure whether or not she has a dress yet. Now I'm going to wonder about that...
Well, I've got to go get ready for the lenten service. I'll update on my complete spring break happenings when I get back to the dorms. Until then, I don't think my family will let me have privacy enough to type a full-out journal, and I doubt Ethel will be productive for that long.

"rocks can't be that hard" you say? They set one in front of you and go "Okay, now what is it? What's the chemical formula? What is it used for? What minerals is it made of? What's the maden name of the great-grandmother of the last person that touched it?" Okay, maybe that last one was an exadderation. Nonetheless, it's hard. Then I have a Geology test on Thursday (which will be much easier than said quiz) and a physics tets on thursday as well.
I downloaded some new songs from iTunes...sone from Shiny Toy Guns, one from Sparta, and one from Bayside. I also got real versions of a couple of songs, rather than the cruddy versions I had earlier.
So today was our TALH preview day, and I got to tell people where to park. I felt so helpful! No, but I really did feel somewhat helpful. They were all so confused when they drove up, and I gave them direction. Then I guided a group of people to the dorms for a tour. 'Twas overall fun, yet exhausting. Oh, and I got to meet in person. Maybe he'll be coming next year...
