My manager makes postcards and sells them at many stores. I was thinking I could do the same and sell them at a few stores.

Issues:

-Don't want to take cliche island pictures -_-
-Don't want to be like "HAHA, BILL, IMMA TAKE MOAR PICTURES AND SELL MOAR."

I will probably do it, but I just need to consider whether or not it will make Bill mad or anything. Probably not; he's a good guy.

They fit nicely and they are shiny (which I actually don't like - I hate new shoes), and they make me smile like this:

and I tried to go on our second photospree today, but failed. Both of us were really tired and lazy, so we went to the playground to take pictures of each other and that's all we did. We only got a few pictures. We just sat inside a little hut thing for kids and kept each other warm (no implications there).

I don't know if I said before, but I switched my job from Cronig's Market (Part of Bernier's Market) to Healthy Additions (Also part of Bernier's Market). I had my first day of work today, and it was pretty good! It's a lot slower than Cronig's, but I like it!

At work today, I looked at Earth Shoes, which are supposed to be really good for your pelvis and I think your back because they have "negative heels," which means that your heels sit lower than the rest of your feet. I think they're so cofortable, that I ordered myself a pair ^_^. They are $139, but SO worth it!!

I have been going crazy with reading!! Last weekend I read 3 books, I only read 2 books during the week, and so far THIS weekend, I've read 2 books. I AM SO IN LOVE WITH READING. I love to read. I really do. It's like THE GREATEST invention EVER!

I am getting a new lens for my camera!!! Right now I have a 18-55mm and a 75-300mm lens...I am going to sell my 18-55mm lens and buy a 18-200mm!!! Then I can give the 75-300mm lens back to Mr. Caruthers, because it's his ^_^. The new lens covers 18-55mm AND gives a bit of telephoto-ness. It's not as telephoto-esque as the 300mm, but it is like the PERFECT range for what I do. Mr. Caruthers got a lens for his camera that is 26-200mm and the 200mm is SOO good for what I do...and I didn't want to lose the macro-ness, so having MINE start at 18mm is perfect.

I went on my photospree with the other day!!! It was SOOO fun..We had mad gay smex...not really, though. She wishes. tee hee...anyway...we went into town and snapped a bunch of pictures of things, people, and assorted doo-dads. Again, it was soooo much fun!!! We are going to go again someday soon because she lost some pictures she had of me ...

I went online to Barnes and Noble today and spent $65!!! I am SOO addicted to buying things.. I NEED TO STOP!!! I love buying things for , too. I am secretly buying her an 18-200mm lens for her birthday, but she'll hit me if she finds out...She'll probably find out by reading this journal, but it's all good. ^_^

I took some pictures..I posted some of the better ones on deviantart, but I have more on myspace [link] They didn't come out well, so I didn't want to post them on deviantart.

I did some brief iphoto edits to the photos that I posted here.. I might do some more in-depth GIMP editing, but I don't know. I still need to GIMP a bunch of picture.

and I are going to go on a photospree soon!! We are going to go into town and take picture of everything! It will be so much fun ^_^.. She and I have the same camera, so...yeah..you know.......no you don't; I don't even know...

I bought a new memory card for my camera!! I got it for free, too! My dad had four $25 gift cards to Target that he said I could have, so I went online, picked out a 4 GB memory card and did the two day shipping. ^_^ I can't wait... I would've done the one day shipping, but it was like $2 too much^_^..The two day was like $99.42. So happy that worked out so well.

To do:

-Edit photos
-Buy coloring book, white chocolate, and two lolipops

Once I edit some photos, I will put them up!!!!

To make matters worse, the company they used for shipping (USMail or something like that) thinks that tracking is for squares. They have tracking, but they update it every....once! They haven't updated it since Monday when the order was PROCESSED..Whatever the hell that means.

I hope I get it soon, though!!! I have a lot of cool picture I want to take..And a few people who said they'd model for me...I'm probably going to take them into the theatre and do some cool lighting effects ^_^

In the car earlier, my dad decided to stop at Stop and Shop to pick up some hot dog buns. When he came out of the store, he had friend chicken too. I don't know why he NEEDS to get fried chicken EVERY time he goes into that store. It's so pointless.. It's like, "I need food, cuz I'm a maaaaannnn." No. He doesn't NEED food RIGHT THEN. He can wait until a decent dinner hour to eat.

On top of that, he eats sooo grossly (word, no?). He chews so loud and takes monstrous bites. It's so gross. Then he's like, "OMG. WHY AM I SO FAT?" Because you don't know when to stop. I'm sorry if this is offensive to anybody, but I'm just speaking my mind. This IS my journal.

SO...after we went to the store, we went to pick up Curtis, my 7 year-old brother, from the Boy's and Girl's club. When he was in the car with us and we were driving home, he asked my dad some question about his snacks. Then they go back and forth for TEN MINUTES. "I DON'T want crackers." "Oh. So. Do you want CRACKERS?" "Noooooo!!!!!! I want crackers and the REAL gushers. I don't like the dinosaur ones." "Oh. So you want the dinosaur gushers and cracker?" "No....You don't. get. it, dad." BLAH BLAH BLAH

You know how annoying it is to listen to people wine over something so stupid? The simple solution would have been to recognize that your 7 year old son was getting upset and just stop and say, "Okay. We are misunderstanding each other. Let's try it again. Tell me everything you DO want for snack."

The End.

So, I decided to start my blog. I will post more in there than in here so I don't bother people with my complaints and whatnot.

My website is [link] and my blog is [link]

Love You

Friends...I feel like everything is going fine with my friends right now. I'm lucky to have the wonderful people in my life that I do.

Relationships...I think I really screwed things up with one of the guys I like. I'll have to see what happens with that.

School...Never felt this way before, but..I just don't want to do it anymore. I know I WILL, but I just have so much crap going on that I don't want to.

Work...Don't want to do it anymore. Done. I don't like it anymore. I will keep doing it probably until I graduate high school, but there are some days that I just don't feel like working.

Events...Today it snowed a lot - about six inches (a lot for the island I live on). My dad was trying to back into the driveway today. I was directing him. He could barely see because of the stupid snow and wind. He was going about ten MPH backward and he crashed into a big rock. It really scared me. A lot. I have been afraid of losing him my whole life. I still am. Anything like that happening really makes me sad. I can tell I am going into one of my depressed states (Not just because of the thing with my dad).

School....This week I have midterms/finals all week. That's good because I have half days, but bad because they're midterms and they're blah! Besides that, everything is going pretty well with school.

Friends....So excited that I made a new friend...Hannah, who is my English teacher's daughter. She is so great...Such a good friend.

Relationships....I currently have two people I like. One of them, I can't ask out because he isn't open about his sexuality and whatnot. The other, I don't have the best friendship with, and he would DEFINITELY say no. I wouldn't want to ruin our already not-so-great friendship.

A few minutes ago, a fire engine was at my house.

My dad was working on my brother's car - which was supposed to not be here - and I checked on him once...Later, I was cleaning out a bowl to make salad and Curtis (My seven year old brother) came running into the house, and shouted, "Matthew, the car is on fire and Dad got his hand burnt". Naturally, I panicked because I always fear my dad getting hurt or even killed. I took the bowl that I was cleaning and ran outside and threw it at the fire. Of course, It didn't do much, so I ran back inside to get more. My dad and I kept running back and forth with water. Curtis was just running around screaming. I told Curtis to call the fire department and he did. By this time, only my dad's shirt was left on fire. Because it was small now, I took the phone from Curtis to talk to the police because he didn't really know what to say. Within three minutes, the fire truck was there, and the fire was already out. Curtis did the right thing, and I am very proud of him.

With all of Curtis' useless running around and screaming, he got a big hole in his foot from a log he stepped on. I got him a band-aid. He was crying because he thought that his father was hurt. I had to rub his back and tell him "Everything's okay" for him to stop. After that, we went to sit on another car to listen to my dad and the fireman talk.

For me, this was a bit scarier than the car accident on June tenth, because I feared for my dad's safety and my brother's emotional trauma, and I was involved instead of just watching.

Today I went to work and after work I went to a graduation party for my friend, Ashley Peters. On my way home from the party, my dad and I saw a car that was smoking and on the side of the road. It hit a tree coming from one direction and skid around the tree to face almost the opposite direction. There was one person there already trying to help. My dad used to be an EMT, so he was able to help and he called the ambulance. The guy inside the car was having a seizure and my dad and this other person were telling him not to move because he would hurt himself. I was in my dad's car, leaning out the window and biting my nails and all I could hear was, "Don't move" and the guy moaning in pain. I turned the car's emergency lights on so the ambulance could find us. After about 4 minutes, a truck pulled up and it was an EMT. I turned the emergency lights off because the truck had it's own lights...soon after, police cars and ambulances and firetrucks pulled up. My dad's car was completely surrounded by lights. Because of the angle of my dad's car's placement, all I could see was the back of the car, and the smashed front, off to the side. I couldn't see any of the people inside, but I could see people outside everywhere. I couldn't see my dad. About 20 minutes later, my dad came into view and got some wipes for his bloody hands. Then he got into the car and we drove away. We were there for a half hour, and the whole time, all I could see was smoke, a wrecked car, a damaged tree, the guy's hand from the window, and a lot of lights. For a half hour, I was hanging outside a car window, biting my nails and listening to moaning. It was horrifying. I felt like I was going to throw up. I still do.
