Dear fellow Deviants,

I just realized how long it's been since I last posted.
So long ago that I had a job then. I can no longer say I'm employed. Since I went to camp actually. I'm thinking of applying at Cob's Bread. I think I'd like it there. I mean, I'd be competing with Pu, an Asian girl who barely speaks English. Hmmm...

In other news, I'm trying to do as much school as possible and not going to work kind of helps with that seeing as I have more time to do it. But I need a job. I like shopping too much to not. Correction: I hate shopping; I like getting new things. Oh yeah, and saving up for stuff is good.

I wish I was able to do more writing and music-ing and photographing but I gotta do what I gotta do first.

As much as I like Flickr, DeviantArt is much better for getting feedback on my work. I like to know what people think about it and I don't have many friends on Flickr and I have yet to receive a single comment on any photo I've posted. I miss dA. I like dA, and dA's "'ants."

I'm posting my favourite pictures here for you so all you're going to get is "the good stuff" (according to my personal opinion).

What's new?
I've got a job and I'm going to be saving up for some camera equipment.
I haven't been taking enough pictures lately and it's bothering me so I've decided to "screw it" and ask people I don't know very well if I can take pictures of them. - Friends of friends. No profit unless they want actual prints/framing. I want to get into this more. I want to take more pictures of more people. I've got some people and ideas in mind so things should be good.

That's all for now, kids.

I have a Flickr. Yes, it's true... I swing that way. It's not like I don't love you any more, DeviantArt. You'll always be in my heart and I will still upload pictures here... just less frequently... which has kind of been the case anyway for the last while. (What kind of term is "kind of" anyway?) I'll post my writing here! Flickr IS easier for uploading pictures... Please don't take this in the wrong way.
Well, okay, you can take it a little in the wrong way... which is actually the right way... unless you're a fast brain in which case keep left...
Right.

In other news... I baked my first bread today. Two loaves of potatotato bread. Yes, potatotato. It turned out quite nicely. The recipe book I used has never failed me... best 13 bucks I ever asked my mom to spend on me that I promised I'd pay her back but never did.

I'm sure she's glad she did though... otherwise I would never have made that apple cake. Or pizza. Or those bite-sized cheese things. Or eggnog cheesecake. Etc.

I keep having fights with religious people. I'm such a masochistic freak in this regard, it's not even funny. I kind of have fun though... I usually don't get any where, at least not noticeably short-term but who knows? Maybe they'll think a little more about it. Happy Atheist Day, btw!

I'll see you around,

Ori.

It's been too long. WAY too long. Last post: December! It felt like December today... it's snowed again! And just when I thought spring was approaching, I learn I have to go back into my den and stay warm.

I've been lazy with my uploading. I have a lot of pictures I can upload and even more to edit. I got to take a bunch of pictures of a boy, so that was nice. Aaand several epic FiOri Days have occurred so I have some shots from then as well.

That's all for now, kids. Short and sweet, who would have thought?

Merry Christmas, happy New Year, happy Hanukkah, happy Solstice, happy Kwanzaa, and all that jazz, tango, rock, hip hop, rap, country, techno, elevator music, disco, metal, ska, grunge, reggae, house, electronica, jingle, R&B, opera, classical, ditty, folk, alternative, blues, punk, etc.

This is the first dA journal entry I'm posting using my fabulous, sexy, whiplashingly fast, smooth and shiny new laptop. I love it. I LOVE IT! I love it.
Christmas was good this year. We celebrate on the 24th so presents were opened last night. I made my classic eggnog cheesecake with rum sauce for dessert, had the traditional mushrooms soup (for dinner last night AND breakfast today!) and my mom made the ever-changing, non-traditional main dinner -> fish+potatoes, esparagus and summer squash. T'was a yummyful night. I hope everyone was as happy as I was with their presents.

And about art... well... I've decided that the huge amount of pictures that I've yet to upload is so great, that the pretty number of deviations displayed on my main page (999) will have to face change. Many FiOri days of mass epictude have taken place accompanied by photographic evidence of said epictude. Also, I've got a lot of pictures of my brother from photo shoots... and more! Maybe. I'll upload them soon, I swear! Sort of. Well... I'm going to try!!!

Promises, promises...

If you're interested in reading my blog, by any chance, (unlikely but understandable,) let me know and I'll give you the link.

Unfortunately, when I shot the person who had been continuously nagging me to update this puppy, I missed and they only ended up with a bullet in their foot. Despite my intentions, I fear that they had every right to complain. Once again, I've found my entry to be outrageously outdated which is why I'm here now... to fix it.

I STILL have a million Oregon pictures, a whole bunch of "FiOri" epictude, I just had a small photo shoot with my handsome, yet rather incooperative brother, which resulted in a very large BUTTLOAD of photos. I'm currently in the editing stages but there will be some uploaded soon.

Right now, I'm eating my lunch... it consists of rice, cheddar cheese and tuna. It's kind of weird, and I'm probably going to be sick even though I took a lactase enzyme pill (because I'm lactose intolerant), which is what the tea is for... to help... things... So I'm crossing my fingers. But I'll have you know, it is hitting the spot.

I've had some issues with boys lately and appear to be continuously finding more truth in the statement, "Boys are stupid; throw rocks at them." I mean, I love you idiots, but seriously...
I am seeing someone though, so I am happy. No, not a THERAPIST. Sorry to kill your hopes and dreams like that...
I mean I have a man, ok?

That's all for now kids!

It has been pointed out to me that I haven't updated my journal in quite some time. Do not worry, that person has been shot.

In two months, I have gone to Oregon and back. I saw some wicked stuff and had a lot of fun. Photos will be uploaded, of course. I've been pretty bad with uploading stuff on here lately; I apologize.
I've edited some pictures recently though and they should be making their way on here soon.

As for me, personally... things are okay. I got my ears pierced finally. Went shopping and got some delicious shoes.
Wait.
I'm not supposed to eat shoes... am I? :/ Oops. Well that's all right, I suppose.
I baked a pie for the first time ever and it fit really well.
Wait.
I'm not supposed to wear pie... am I? :/
I've also been admitted into a mental hospital.
Wait.
I haven't? Maybe it's time to consider it.

I've become better friends with several people lately and I've been trying to figure out the meaning of certain relationships too. It's interesting.

I have a craving for a photo shoot.
*checks you out* How you doin'?

That's all for tonight, folks. A little weird, rather random and just... full of Oriness, I bet you almost can't take it anymore. G'night.

Ori.

Let's see... what's new with me?

1. I love my camera and my lenses.
2. Camp is in a couple of weeks.
3. I'm writing songs a lot and I'm going to be meeting some local musicians (hopefully) soon to either jam/start a band/chill with.
4. People like my carrot cake.

Who says you can't improvise/experiment with baking?
5. I really want to own a cafe and it doesn't matter how many times I say that, I still feel I cannot stress this enough.
6. I've been sick for over a month... not sick enough to stay home in bed all day... but sick enough to not be able to sing or speak sometimes. Runny/stuffy nose and sore/guck-filled throat. It's quite attractive, really.

I don't really know what else to write about right now. Hope you're all having a fun summer. I've always got some pictures to upload... or to edit... or to download from my camera to my computer... it's a wonderfully endless thing.

Talk to you soon,

- Ori

PS: Why are the mood icons not working?

As you may know, I have uploaded a buttload of pictures... but the good news is... nevermind - there is no good news because there are more and more pictures to come.

The thing is: I'm uploading all I've got ASAP because I need to make room on the computer for the new camera pictures... and guess who had a photo shoot with The Sam recently? Yup. Me. All with the new camera... which I love, thanks for asking.

Took over 2000 I think... but don't worry... they won't all be posted. A bunch have been deleted and some are of family (that my grandpa took).

What's new? Work is good... always hot in there... contrary to everyone else's beliefs... but then again - they're not the ones running around, are they?

School is okay. Catching up over the summer.

Wrote a couple of songs... lyrics will be posted eventually.

And now I must make a promise:
One day... I will have good skin. One day... and not JUST for that one day... I will be able to walk out of the house without worrying about how noticeable these... symptoms of teenage hormones are. Damn them all to hell... along with those who have perfect skin at my age. And while we're at it, damn the media... damn politicians, and damn my tongue, for not knowing when to be held.

That's it for me... have a great day/night/whatever and I look forward to seeing more of your work plus your ever-appreciated feedback on mine.

It's been a long time since I've updated this, as always.

I'm getting a new camera today and I'm completely ecstatic about it...
My grandpa worked his godly powers of finding the best deal for it and I'm getting some wicked stuff.

I had a friend over from California and we explored a bit of Victoria. I had fun.

I also have hundreds of photos to look at and edit and put on my computer... so brace yourselves. I won't post them all... I only save the best ones for you.

I have some wicked shots, I'm telling you now... and hopefully today, if I nag her enough, my mom will help me do all the complicated things I need to have done with the computers so I can get my pictures to my computer. It's complicated.

What's new? I wrote a song. Started another one. On the piano. I moved. It's cool but will be unpacking continuosly, slowly, forever it seems. Next weekend there will be many many photos taken - having a shoot with Sam and another with my friend, Simon. I'm looking forward to both. I don't think Simon knows that we're having a shoot next weekend so I better let him know, hehe.

That's all for now...

So it's been... almost two months since I've said a word to you people... and I say "you people" with all the love and care that I posess. Sort of. How many S's in possess? posess... posses... Pozzess. There it is. haha. not.

[don't read this...
Breaking news... coming to you live from Canada...
And over to you, Oriana.
Thanks Jim.
The brain of a young adolescent girl has been reported wandering the streets of Victoria as of late. (Do newscasters ever say "as of late"?) The girl has not yet been identified. However, the brain is said to be filled with random stuff including music, music, more music, codes of books from work, biology terminology, the contents of numerous boxes, and the birthdates of friends it hasn't seen or heard from in years. If you see this brain, please contact your local camera shop, letting them know to show it the ideal camera. Thank you.]

I told you not to read it. That only makes sense to two people in the whole entire world. No exaggeration.

1. I'm losing my mind. Again. Still. Even more than before.
2. I'm a teenager, what do you expect? I'm better than most, so shut it.
3. I'm writing a song. It's going well. But there's little time to do any of that becuase...
4. I have work. It's busy. Especially the dreaded Thursday. Grrr. and
5. School is a pain and the tests keep getting rainchecked and you'd think they were totally soaked at this point...
6. We're moving May 1st. Yes, again. Because our neighbours sucked. Yep, past tense already... karma karma karma. Our house is full of boxes... and all the cupboards, drawers, closets, etc. are emtpy and in the hallway, living room, and kitchen and dining room.
7. Well the birthday thing... I just threw that in there unnecessarily.

Now number 8 is the important one. I'm looking in to getting a new camera. I've saved up some mula and am asking for money from others... because with minimum wage, it's tough to do squat... and I don't really know what kind to get. We're going to start looking after the move... but I'd be glad to hear some of your suggestions.
Requirements:
-It's gotta be pro.
- I want the be able to look through the viewfinder and see the exact image I'm gonna get.
- And/or have a flexible viewfinder screen thing that comes out and twists about... this is optional but I would love it anyway.
- Has to be in the $800CDN range...
- DLSR

I think that's it. It's late and I have trouble making sense in the day time... so... yeah. Good night my deviously wonderful deviants. I'll update sooner next time, I promise. Maybe.

Thanks to: Cristina for modeling!

- Ori.

I failed to celebrate 5000 DevArt pageviews a couple of weeks ago...
But I did notice! So thank you to all who've been supportive of my work. Always very appreciated! Thanks, also, for the constructive criticism... that too is very appreciated.

I've been slowly editing the pictures of Cristina, my mom's friend from work. There are already a couple uploaded but there are many more to come...

I've made numerous changes to that poem, "Sweet Music"... I've added stanzas and rearranged them... so it's a bit different. I feel, with the new changes, I got across what I wanted to say better.

School's going well, thanks for asking...

Well no, it IS going well. I'm moving ahead. Thanks to Simon and Sarah from FirstClass... and no, I don't expect you to know what that is. I'm going to register for a Media Arts course.

Think it'll be fun.

Went to Oregon... got some pictures there. Not THAT many but... some.
Maybe I'll edit some of the pictures from Cuba finally!!! It's taking up a lot of room on my computer. 'Bout time, wouldn't you say?
(There's just so many!

)
We're also moving. So wish us luck with the packing because god knows we'll need it. That and finding a nice place - with decent neighbours.

My ma put on some food for dinner in the crockpot (not crackpot

) and it smells so gooood >.<
Lucy is a freak and just gracefully and effortlessly jumped from the bottom of the window sill to the top of the fridge. That's my girl.
It's a beautiful day in sunny yet slow Victoria... I'm going to take the cat-beast for a walk, me thinks. Lucy's giving me a look. :/

Anyway... have a good day. Looking forward to seeing more of your work

First: apologies to Rodin. I spelt your name Rodan. My bad.

Secondly: new pictures uploaded. Some with Cannon S1 IS. Some with Epson something. It's going to take a while for me to remember what that one's called now too. Didn't know what the Cannon was 'til last summer. How many Ns in Cannon?

Thirdly: A small photo shoot was done with Sam... will edit the pics eventually... haven't gotten around to it.
I don't know if you're supposed to say fourthly, but...

Fourthly: My mom's friend, Cristina came over and we had a more professional photo shoot. Pictures will be edited and uploaded eventually as well.

How am I doing? One might wonder. I've been better. A lot of people have been pissing me off. I won't go in detail. I just ask you people to stop being jerks. (no, not only the neighbours). (Although they are getting me down...)

Things I love: baking, hearing that people like what I bake, chocolate, shoes, Johnny Depp, when my hair is curly, hot chocolate, ice-cream with fudge and/or brownie and cinnamon, when I can write music for lyrics, playing the piano and learning new songs, singing without my voice cracking, moving my hips, Ambrosia apples, scrabble and making someone smile.

Things I hate: being put down, being taken for granted, feeling stupid, feeling confused, growing up, peas, people that make you feel stupid, people who hold you back from the things you love, cramps, zits, certain thoughts, seeming weak, asking for help, burning or screwing up a cake, adolescence, spending money, when my words collide and slur, feeling unwanted, seeming selfish, forgetting, remembering and being too damn far.

Goodnight.

Love,

- Ori.

I have uploaded the "voyuer day" pictures! So thank you to all who have commented and/or favouritized them!

You guys must be getting so tired of me...
All those "new deviations" appearing in the ... thingy where they appear... yeah... it's been a long day. I almost didn't get off at my bus stop and it's taken me 5 minutes to right this sentence with proper words and such... At work I pulled 2 hours for a 1 hour student today. ("Puller lingo, don't expect you to understand) I worked everyday this week... and today I worked 5 hours straight. It's nice to sit down and put something other than water in my tummy. Yes, my tummy.

I have more pictures I could upload from the weekend I spent with friends but... I dunno... I already uploaded so many and maybe if there are too many, you won't want to check them out...
I'll give it a couple of days. I'll finish editing them all and then upload them, bit by bit. Or something. I don't know. I should go to bed soon...
and bake soon too... but sleep comes first. Baking while half-asleep might not be the best idea.

I'm rambling.

I really feel like a cookie. Literally as well as ... you know... wanting to eat one. Damn, this a horrible and utterly dull journal. I'm not going to apologize because I'm trying to do less of that.

I'm stopping. Good night or evening or afternoon or morning or whatever...... and take care.

Still no pictures edited and stuff from Cuba...
Took lots of pictures with Sam...
Took lots of goofy pictures last weekend... not sure how many will be posted here

The supply of photos for uploading to DA is never-ending.

Also, still some to upload from "Voyeur Day". (Already edited.)

Don't forget to comment!

And let me know which of the multiple versions you like best if there are any.

I baked cinnamon rolls and they're awesome. >.<
Second time's better than the first.
Yeast is so weird.

Thanks to everyone who has been supporting me. You're all great.
And thanks to the strangers who happened to pick a good position to stand or sit in.

So... my grandma is sleeping (she's staying with us while my mom's away), my mom is in freakin' Hawaii (though I won't complain since I did get to go somewhere warm too...), and my brother is at school. (Burn). So instead of doing something productive, I noticed my journal entry is outdated and decided to fix that:

I have a lot of pictures to edit and upload. Lots from Cuba. Lots from a cemetary. Lots of Lucy. Lots of people downtown 'cause I was spying on them, playing "voyeur". It's a fun game.

My mama has stolen the beloved digital camera from my hands and I am now, obviously, digital-camera-less. So I should probably be able to edit/upload some pictures during this time.

Also, a small request to those who check out my deviations...
If you see there's more than one version of a deviation... do you think you could let me know which one you prefer? Please? *puppy-dog face*

I would be eternally grateful.

I've made this entry short and cut the rambling to a minimum. I think I did a pretty good job.

Happy New Year and I hope 2008 brings you all the best! Keep up the amazing work everyone!

Looking forward to seeing more...

With love,
Oriana.
