                <description><![CDATA[ I really need to update this.<br /><br />things are okay.<br />as far as art goes, I changed my concentration four times and now I've finally settled on one. the theme is to show how design exists in nature by enhancing natural design with graphic design. or something like that. I haven't officially written this up yet I haven't really had to verbally describe it. but I think it's going to go well.<br /><br />I got into my first choice (only choice school.) I only applied to one place so I'm super glad I got in. next fall I will attend Radford University and hopefully minor in photography while I study psychology. wOOt. I also thus far have over eight thousand dollars in financial aid <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /> so yay.<br /><br />work is busy. which is good, things were so slow for a while. only problem; I worked over 20 hours this weekend. ugh. I need a break. I need a break from school, work, pressure. I need to sleep in. <br /><br />anyway. hope you're all well. does anyone even use deviant anymore...<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ updated since my birthday.<br /><br />so. here it is.<br />Starbucks eats my life. I smell like espresso and steamed milk. it sounds good, but it gets old.<br />...etc.<br /><br />I somehow managed to get a 4.5 GPA. this time around and for the end of the semester... eh, I HIGHLY doubt it. so... sadface.<br />I applied to my top choice college. if I don't get in, I'll apply somewhere else.<br />if I don't get in I will be completely and utterly heartbroken.<br />it feels like I'm never home.<br />my room looks like... a few bookbags, a closet, armoire, and dresser exploded. (because well, they did. and I can't seem to find time to clean it up.)<br />it never feels like there's enough time in the day for school, work, eating, showering, and sleeping. I usually give up one or more of these things (and it's never school, work, or showering.)<br /><br />I just pulled out three of my eyelashes. gross.<br /><br />I designed this year's school sweatshirts/ t-shirts/ sweatpants. they look ballin'. I was happy.<br /><br />photography isn't going as well as I'd like. I'm dreading concentration work. three pieces are due before the 23rd and I have no motivation to shoot and edit them.<br />but my breadth is finished and I think it's a winner. woo!<br /><br />the only two people who really matter to me are never here.<br /><br />sometimes I just think life sucks.<br />but, meh. can't be bad forever...<br /><br /> ]]></description>

I'm expecting the next eight and a half weeks to be freaking breezy and I WILL. get straight A's. oh you watch me.<br /><br />not a whole lot to do with pictures as of recent, but these things always pick back up.<br /><br />just a quick update.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

I've been screwing around with settings and learning how to make adjustments for the past two days ('cause you know it's nice to know how to work your camera... and it took me forever to get my old one to do what I wanted it to) and I just started taking some pictures today (as you may have already seen.)<br /><br />I'm beyond happy with this camera. now I need to invest in lenses. blah! haha.<br />I'm looking forward to the new semester of class because Felicia is my own personal critic and it's pretty much awesome. much more mellow than last semesters class.<br /><br />and as for AP,<br />bring ittt.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Nikon D40X.<br />
sometime in the near future, that camera should be mine.<br />
<br />
I told my mom I'd like to pursue photography, since I'm taking the AP class next year (assuming I get accepted) and I want/ need a better quality camera.<br />
<br />
she said since I've been doing so well in school (a 4.0 overall this entire semester) that she'll talk it over with my dad, and they'll take money out of my savings account and split the cost with me. even though I don't think the money in my savings will cover the whole thing, but I can get a job and pay them back in the future, and would do so happily.<br />
<br />
ahh. I'm so excited.<br />
beyond that news, I just happened to have an excellent day. two things happened which I didn't expect.<br />
one of which was I found out I'll definitely be maintaining my GPA this marking period.<br />
<br />
ah. happy!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I almost want to give up.<br />
I know I won't. but I want to.<br />
<br />
everything I want to do now that my knowledge of photography has grown, depends on a better camera... mine just isn't quality enough to get things done. granted, it's far better than not having one but at the same time, I'm never going to progress without better equipment...<br />
as result, I haven't taken any pictures really in the past... month, I guess.<br />
<br />
maybe I can start working BEFORE the end of January...<br />
and then I won't feel so hopeless?<br />
<br />
PS. I know of several people who got cameras far too advanced for them, which they're never going to learn how to use, for Christmas.<br />
I WISH my parents spent $1,000 on me for Christmas, unfortunately I'm not that selfish and I would NEVER ask that of them.it's something they expect me to do myself...<br />
<br />
it just bothers me that other people have the equipment I need and they're never going to know how to use it properly.<br />
...it really bothers me.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Christmas is a very sore subject, the holidays generally make me feel like crap.<br />
Thanksgiving was pretty bad too.<br />
<br />
I expect to be spending a lot of time by myself (especially after the 21st) so maybe I'll find some inspiration... I'd love to take more pictures, it's just a matter of what to photograph. I don't like winter because nature dies. and there just aren't many pretty things left to take pictures of...<br />
<br />
as well, in other news, with help from my sister I'm going to attempt to get a job and assuming I get said job and don't suck at it, I'm looking into a Nikon D40x. so hopefully by May or June I can start looking into that. I'll also need a macro lense though... I look forward to that.<br />
<br />
well. that's about it for now. I'd spread the holiday cheer but... there's not much cheer in the holidays for me. <br />
nonetheless. well, whatever. happy holidays. (since saying "Merry Christmas" is now considered insincere... gah.)<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ so, yeah. pictures up.<br />
all of them are from St. Mary's College of [southern] Maryland.<br />
<br />
pretty campus.<br />
school full of hippies.<br />
<br />
I'm considering going there. hahaha.<br />
<br />
depending on what I want to do. if in the next year I decide I want to major in photography, I won't go there.<br />
but anything else, I'm considering it.<br />
<br />
mostly because I really don't want to go to school in a city because it freaks me out and St. Mary's is so calm.<br />
but, considerably, most good photography programs don't take place in the middle of no where.<br />
<br />
oh well. another year or so. I'll figure it out.<br />
so yeah. tell me what you like. don't like. what you'd like to see edited differently... but I'm not huge into editing so don't go overboard =].<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I just had the most interesting 48 hours of my life.<br />
between getting destroyed by dedicated ska fans at Streetlight Manifesto, witnessing an old woman almost die (actually she might have) in the middle of a very nice dinner, and having to stay (after some complicated events) in my sister's mini-townhouse at college I uhh. need some chill time.<br />
<br />
but she happens to live on an absolutely beautiful campus (because she goes to school in the middle of nowhere) and this morning I woke up early and meandered around taking pictures for two hours.<br />
<br />
so, lots to come, yes... but I need to take care of some things.<br />
<br />
so. eh. I dunno. I'll probably have most of it if not all of it up by tonight.<br />
<br />
whee.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ this week is the week!<br />
<br />
my sister says all of my camera junk has finally gotten to her at school, and she's going to bring it to me on her way home Friday. =]<br />
<br />
in addition, Friday is spirit day at school (if you all don't wear your colors, you're dead to me) and my birthday. so hopefully I can get some sweet pictures of my birthday "party" before the homecoming game at school, since drumline/ band has to stay through... probably not getting home until around 10 that evening. I'm also going to try and get pictures at the game (assuming my director will let me walk around in my...uniform) but mostly for newspaper class, assuming that nothing artistic comes of it. (because I doubt it will.)<br />
<br />
after that I already know where to start photographing, I found something wicked cool last weekend. (or rather, my boyfriend took me somewhere cool last weekend)<br />
but as I said to Cameron last night; I'll leave that as a suprise.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ well, yesterday by now.<br />
my sister and I bought my camera+memory card+ battery.<br />
on amazon turned out to be 189.45.<br />
same little Sony, which is dissapointing because I know more about cameras now than I did when I got my first, and while I can work with it, it's still like... mehh, I know there are better options out there.<br />
<br />
I would have invested in a better camera, but seeing as how my parents still don't know I lost mine three months ago, I can't very well go and replace it with a completely different camera because they'd be like "uhhh this isn't the one we got you" etc. yeah... so it goes.<br />
<br />
so this adds up to... roughly $500-$600 spent on me for photography this year... (recall my battery charger being misplaced by someone other than me earlier this year and having to pay $60 for a new one because Sony sucks)<br />
which I do believe I payed for the charger, my parents bought my first camera and Laura, Vic and I bought my second (replacement)<br />
<br />
I'm lucky to have so many people willing to help me out...<br />
so I'm thinking rather than being bitter towards Sears, I should suck it up and try not only to make myself happy through doing what I came to love, but work on taking pictures that everyone who has helped me out will be proud of.<br />
<br />
I owe it to them. I think pictures capture beauty (the many many different types... because even sometimes horrifying things can be beautiful) and I owe it to all of the amazingly beautiful people in my life to persue making myself happier through taking better pictures.<br />
<br />
after all, they cared so much in the first place, they want to see me happy... and I'm lucky to have those people.<br />
<br />
I'm really, really lucky. and I feel ashamed that I'm only just coming to realize it.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ after four days of photo/ dig I've decided my photography... isn't really up to par and I'll probably never get anywhere with it.<br />
I'm definitely not going to impress Sears enough to get into AP next year.<br />
<br />
-one career choice dropped<br />
(as if it ever would have made me any money anyway)<br />
<br />
I don't even want a new camera anymore.<br />
<br />
upon other things... I dunno.<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ edit/ update--<br />
talked to my sister last night. she's coming home next weekend, and she said we'll order it then and she'll have it shipped to her at school. assuming that the camera, memory card, and battery are all shipped to her by September 27th, she'll be home on September 28th (my birthday!) to see our homecoming game (yeah I have like eight hours of drumline on my birthday... but oh well) and she will bring the things we ordered with her... so, I should have my new beautifulness ON my birthday <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /> even though I'll be at school until about 10PM for the homecoming game/ drumline... I don't even care anymore.<br />
<br />
I'm just hoping I can get through the first month of photo/dig and newspaper without it... worst comes to worse, I'm sure I'll find someone in those classes to borrow from.<br />
<br />
so excited.<br />
<br />
----------------<br />
well, I don't know if I ever told the whole story about my camera being lost, but basically there were three people involved and we were never actually sure who lost it, I gave it to someone to keep in her purse and by the end of the evening it had dissapeared... so we're not really sure who lost it.<br />
<br />
but.<br />
one of them just told me that she's been saving money from tips at work, and she has $100 to give me right now, plus the money I've saved up on my own... I now have enough to buy my camera.<br />
<br />
so expect my happiness and gallery to go soaring, sometime soon. (give it a month or so)<br />
<br />
there are good people in the world.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I hate it here. really.<br />
the people and their lack of caring irritates me to no end.<br />
<br />
you're judged by what you wear or how much money your family has, what your interests are and how good you are at everything you enjoy.<br />
<br />
most people can't seem to look past material things and just see people for who they are, their intelligence, what they believe in, and be related according to that.<br />
<br />
it bothers me.<br />
<br />
not everyone is like that, don't get me wrong.<br />
there are some amazing people.<br />
<br />
I just feel like I'm surrounded by generally naive, unwordly human beings. I'm just... so sick of high school. <br />
I don't relate to people very well because they never understand my point of view on things, or they have no idea what I'm talking about.<br />
whenever I express my opinions people look at me like I'm speaking in Greek. it's retarded.<br />
I feel like everyone's really wrapped up with the social life of school, and they don't look outside to what's going on in the world. they keep themselves very focussed on one aspect of their life and they don't look at the big, the huge picture they're one teeny tiny part of.<br />
I guess though, contributed to that fact is that a huge part of my life which I really value doesn't take place at school. <br />
<br />
I'm younger than the general make up of the junior class and I feel like I'm so much more mature and informed.<br />
<br />
I hate spending seven hours of my day somewhere I feel so incredibly out of place.<br />
<br />
maybe it's just me.<br />
<br />
does anyone else/ has anyone else ever felt like that?<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ as much fun as photoshop is, and as many amazing pictures as it produces, that's just not what I'm all about.<br />
I'm much more appreciative of being able to photograph something and have it be amazing, and simply beautiful as opposed to taking a photograph and mutilating it no matter how kick ass it turns out to be.<br />
<br />
don't get me wrong. I love to really screw things up in photoshop every once in a while but... I appreciate PHOTOGRAPHY more than photo editing. <br />
<br />
and I mean generally, all simple photographs are doctored between healing and color balancing, leveling ect.<br />
but that's just to enhance the simplicity... right?<br />
<br />
...okay I'm done. <br />

                <description><![CDATA[ my computer has been dead for about two weeks. it's at Best Buy being repaired.<br />
<br />
I thought I was going to lose all of my pictures and music... that's however, not the case. thank god. <br />
but they have to wipe out everything and restore it.<br />
meaning I have to reinstall EVERYTHING, photoshop... itunes... I'm not totally sure I'll be able to reinstall photoshop... and that sucks, majorly. but I'll figure it out.<br />
<br />
meh. things are shitty. I wish they weren't.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I suck at journal titles.<br />
I kid you not, go look at the rest of them.<br />
<br />
anyways. I moved a bunch of things to scraps because I didn't want them in my gallery anymore.<br />
I'll probably end up deleting them soon enough because no one ever looks at scraps... mehh.<br />
<br />
been looking for things to take pictures of... I mean, I can only take so many pictures of flowers right? I want to do something like go to DC for a day, and just take pictures.<br />
maybe even downtown. that can more easily be arranged.<br />
anyways... I'm trying. really. I don't get out much, and when I do no one else seems to appreciate me randomly whipping out my camera and wandering away. oh well.<br />
<br />
umm. updates? I'm doing good. trying to keep positive.<br />
been happier lately, for obvious reasons.<br />
<br />
life's okay. I'm enjoying myself...<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ last week was Tampa.<br />
<br />
I've been busy getting myself into, and digging myself out of trouble all week long since we got home, let me tell you, it has not been the best of times...<br />
<br />
but anyways. I haven't been adding anything recently. because I haven't been home, and when I am home I've been freaking out. mehh.<br />
<br />
my sister's in Boston, she's had my camera since she left on Wednesday (well she's had the camera since Tuesday) she comes home tomorrow, so hopefully I'll have something by next week?<br />
<br />
I litterally haven't touched photoshop in about ten days.<br />
<br />
it's weird for me. meh.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

on the other hand, today I pulled off something major without scoundreling, plundering, or sabotaging anything or anyone in any way.<br />
<br />
which kind of sucks, because that was supposed to be the fun part of the entire operation.<br />
<br />
damn.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ so there seems to be a huge contrast in my work from a year ago, and my work now.<br />
<br />
...of course my pictures are all forms of scrambled up so you don't really know which ones are from when. well, what I've been uploading this month. no, I was going to say it's all recent but it's not.<br />
<br />
tevs yo, my point, I think I'm getting better at this.<br />
<br />
I'm really happy with my most recent three pictures (between last night and today).<br />
<br />
confidence building. good times...<br />
<br />
FINALS ARE OVER! this week sucked. I think the most sleep I got was last night, five hours. and it's not even because of anxiety, or because I was studying. I really don't know why...<br />
<br />
anyways. four day weekend. have plans for three of those days. I'm excited.<br />
<br />
I also find myself figuring out new things about my camera all the time.<br />
OH. yesterday I finally got a new charger, so I'll be more active <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br />
right, back to what I was saying. example; the "snow" setting takes pictures in amazing detail...<br />
meep. I'm happy.<br />
<br />
and to end this; breakbeat techno is amazing.<br />
kdone!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ no one would like... die or anything if I deleted my entire gallery and started over, would they?<br />
<br />
I'm really kind of mad that storage has been down for a month, and I'm basically hating all of my pictures.<br />
<br />
not all. but majority.<br />
<br />
meh. I don't know what to do... but I really don't like my gallery<br />
<br />
---------------------<br />
<br />
kidding. I'm going to edit a lot and put it back up. a lot is going into scraps, and I vote if it's in scraps... I'm just deleting it.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ okay so I got sick of the fact that my gallery looked like crap, and storage isn't working.<br />
<br />
so some of my pictures I either deleted or moved to scraps, if I didn't want them in my gallery, but didn't want to delete them.<br />
<br />
merr.<br />
I hate having to do it, but it was driving me crazy.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ so, this is new to me.<br />
I'd just like to say...<br />
I started off in art with drawing. but then I realized I was never very good at it... haha. so I went with that for something like three years, and I gave up.<br />
then I started taking digital photography classes in school last year, and I absolutly love it. I have photoshop at home, and every time I have new pictures I can basically spend hours playing with them.<br />
I'm really not into high levels of editing or manipulation. not because I can't, simply because...  I don't see reason for it.<br />
I appreciate simplicity in my pictures, and I try and bring out the simple attributes in all of them.<br />
occasionally I'll get the picture that I'll just completely go to another world with... but that's not really my style, and you're not likely to ever see any of those. I just started this and I don't have nearly as many pictures up as I can... I'll do more when I have the time to. but as of right now with school [among other things] and lack of sleep... I'll get around to it when I do. [= have a nice day.<br /><br /> ]]></description>
