So now what? lol

I need an idea for my next project.






.... I also need to get around to making a new ID.
That one has been up for at least a couple of years now, I think.

I want great photos... but most of the examples I've seen of other people's work (in this subject) kind of suck -or is not the look I'm going for. This makes me think that it may be a little more difficult than I had originally thought.

I don't mind a challenge though.


Wish me luck!!

The only problem is, I don't know anyone who would be willing and has the type of body I'd like to photograph (and I'm not really sure I'd be comfortable photographing anyone I actually know).



Also, I'd rather not have anyone think I'm a perv. lol
Oh well, at least I'm female so it wouldn't be as bad.



Maybe at some point...

I know I've said this before, but I'd really like to work more on my photography this year. I have a lot of digital photos of a local band I need to "clean up". (If a certain someone would just give me my files, already.) I also need to work on some pictures of a wedding I photographed.
-I also need to start putting together my photography portfolio.

I'm a little disappointed about this being my last semester in the Digital Graphics program. I need to apply for my diploma, etc. I also need to decide on another major for when I move to the main campus, next semester. I have two choices. Graphic Design or Art. I supposed Graphic Design would be the most logical choice.


I have a feeling this semester is going to be.... rough.
I'm going to have to wake up really early 4 days out of the week. (To say that I'm not a morning person, is a huge understatement.)

Wish me luck! ]]> ~charismatic-rain http://charismatic-rain.deviantart.com/journal/6495853/ http://charismatic-rain.deviantart.com/journal/6495853/ Tue, 13 Sep 2005 15:56:10 PDT School:
Okay. I seem to have a lot of boring classes this semester. Hopefully they'll get more interesting as the semester wears on. (Maybe I should try to pay attention in class more often.) ^.^' heh.

Work:
Still no job. Not looking either.
I really want (and need) to focus on school this semester.

"Art":
Hitting a lot of creative blocks lately.

Friends:
There's a bit of drama going on in that department.
Friends breakups, cheating, lying... Other friends "disappearing" (I'm pretty worried about that one).... Busy, busy. I basically have two friends living with me right now. It's fun when they're both around though.

Family:
I really need to spend more time (and by "more" I mean any time at all) with my family. I'm starting to feel really bad about neglecting them.
(Including my pets.)

Relationship:
Going well.

Spring Semester: Made all A's and 1 B
Summer I: A

Summer II: -currently enrolled-
*The class I'm taking right now is so boring. The instructor just talks, and talks, and talks. I tend to drift off into "lala-land" 5 minutes into his lectures, which is definitely going to be a big problem since this class is mad hard.
Thank goodness I know people who can help me.


I still don't have a job.
I'm not looking for one either.
I've decided to just go to school for now. This fall is going to be rough. Lots of advanced classes. Yay.
Should be fun though.
I'm pretty excited about one of them.


In other news:
I actually have a bf.
I don't do the whole bf thing. Haven't in a long time.
I think I surprised a lot of people. I know I definitely surprised myself. lol
I don't know how long we'll last, but I'm not going to think about that. I'm happy now, and that's all that matters.
I really actually love him too.
Imagine that.


Now excuse me while I go hurl.
lol

In other news....
I quit my job.


The End.

I've missed some school, so I'm trying to play catch up now.

I'm signed up for Summer I and II classes.
I'll be taking 15 credits (5 classes) during the Fall semester. I guess that's not a lot compared to what some people take... but that's the most I've ever taken. And let's not forget about work.

Oh well. It should be fun. ]]> ~charismatic-rain http://charismatic-rain.deviantart.com/journal/4794959/ http://charismatic-rain.deviantart.com/journal/4794959/ Sat, 12 Mar 2005 15:01:38 PST
I just kind of want everyone to leave me alone right now. I don't want to be bothered with anything. I have these little hermit moods every so often... I'm sure it'll go away soon.

But right now, I don't want it to. ]]> ~charismatic-rain http://charismatic-rain.deviantart.com/journal/4250130/ http://charismatic-rain.deviantart.com/journal/4250130/ Wed, 05 Jan 2005 21:43:33 PST How you ring in the New Year is supposed to reflect how you'll end up spending the rest of it. If that's the case, mine should be fairly pleasant and easy going. (I rather doubt it though. haha)

I've decided to take a break from guys for a while and try to focus on this coming up semester. I did well in all of my classes last semester, except for one. I was pretty disappointed in myself.

I'd like to work on my photograpy a little more.
I've had some ideas for some time... Hopefully I can bring a few of them to fruitation in the near future.

I hope you all have a wonderful year. ]]> ~charismatic-rain http://charismatic-rain.deviantart.com/journal/3619915/ http://charismatic-rain.deviantart.com/journal/3619915/ Mon, 18 Oct 2004 15:24:10 PDT Jinxed. I'm not surprised. < /edited>

School is... well. I've been missing a lot of class. Very bad.
I get up about 15-30 minutes late. I HATE going to class late... so I just don't go. Not good. Not good at all. Time to pull it together. I hope. haha

Work is work. This was the first job I really enjoyed. I actually liked my job, my coworkers, AND my managers. It's been starting to go downhill these last couple of months though.
(I decided the 2nd job will have to wait. I am just waaaaay too busy & stressed out with my current job and school. Things are starting to suffer.)

As for DevArt... well. I've been about half done with a drawing for a few months now. It's just sitting there.
I've been getting the urge to write, but I'm just soooo bad at it. It really discourages me from even trying. ]]> ~charismatic-rain http://charismatic-rain.deviantart.com/journal/3123458/ http://charismatic-rain.deviantart.com/journal/3123458/ Sat, 14 Aug 2004 11:01:57 PDT
School will be starting soon. I recently changed my major. I'm really excited about it. I'm a little nervous though. School full time, a part time job, and another part time job soon to come. I'm going to be super busy. I'm sure I'll be fine, as long as I can resist the urge to procrastinate.

No guys on the horizon. I guess it's good though, since I'm really not going to have a lot of time for... anything pretty soon.

Besides... CNN reported that, statistically, women are happier and healthier single. I got a kick out of that.

I'm more into "nature" type photograhs... so it will be interesting to see what I come back with. I probably wont come back with a whole lot for this site actually. The majority of my pictures will, most likely, be snap shots.

Yeah, we didn’t talk for 5 months. He started up contact again a few weeks ago. Last night I finally saw the real him. I totally played it off, but when we got off the phone... I was SO FREAKING PISSED. I have not been this angry in..... well, I cant remember the last time I was this angry. It's REALLY funny actually.

I totally made him out to be someone else. I will take 95% of the blame, but it is NOT all my fault damn it. I didn’t just pull that impression of him out of the air. He totally played the "sweet, affectionate, kind, patient, caring guy. "

I'm so glad this happened though, and so thankful that I finally got to see the truth. I was finally over him... but I still had a soft spot for him. I still thought of him affectionately. I spent 5 months worrying that I might have hurt him. LMFAO.

Too funny. ]]> ~charismatic-rain http://charismatic-rain.deviantart.com/journal/2410343/ http://charismatic-rain.deviantart.com/journal/2410343/ Tue, 11 May 2004 22:21:18 PDT
Hopefully I'll take some decent pictures while I'm there.

I better get off my ass and start packing already!!

He's cut himself off from everyone in an attempt to find himself. To make himself a better person. He needs to put himself first for once.

He DOES need to come first for once...BUT to withdraw from everyone? Everyone needs someone to talk to. I thought I was that person.

If this is what he needs to do to be happy....then I have to support it. I dont have to like it. I want to help him though this. I guess I cant though.

I miss and love you. ]]> ~charismatic-rain http://charismatic-rain.deviantart.com/journal/2126225/ http://charismatic-rain.deviantart.com/journal/2126225/ Wed, 31 Mar 2004 21:38:33 PST (It was more of a "Him planning our wedding" type of thing btw.)

There was just no chemistry, on my side anyway.

I finally called him up, and told him I didn’t want to see him anymore. I *hate* doing that. I got so flustered, rambled, and stuck both feet in my mouth just about a dozen times. At least it's over though.

I have drawn something...I just need to try to add some details if I can, and scan it. I'll probably get it in sometime next week.

*kisses* ]]> ~charismatic-rain http://charismatic-rain.deviantart.com/journal/1976619/ http://charismatic-rain.deviantart.com/journal/1976619/ Thu, 24 Jun 2004 19:29:58 PDT
"By the next date you should know if he's planning your wedding, or just trying to use you."

Talk about mixed signals. I guess it doesnt matter either way because:
A.) I'm not going to LET him use me.
B.) I'm not planning on him becoming my bf or anything.

I swear I'll submit something in the next week or two, or die trying. ]]> ~charismatic-rain http://charismatic-rain.deviantart.com/journal/1773923/ http://charismatic-rain.deviantart.com/journal/1773923/ Sat, 31 Jan 2004 19:02:30 PST
Stopped worrying what his friends now think of me.

Stopped having dreams about him.

Stopped listening to sappy songs.

Stopped feeling sorry for myself.

Stopped talking about him every 10 seconds.

Realized he's not Mr Perfect.

Realized he's not Dr Evil.

Finally unpacked everything I took on my trip there.

Put our pictures away.

Thanked the Powers that Be that I never slept with him.

Genuinely smiled and felt happy. ]]> ~charismatic-rain http://charismatic-rain.deviantart.com/journal/1610277/ http://charismatic-rain.deviantart.com/journal/1610277/ Wed, 31 Dec 2003 18:19:56 PST I care for him so much. 5 months isnt really very long but I've never let myself care for someone more.

I dont regret any of it though. I have no bad memories of our time together. I suppose I could have ended it a little better, but what's done is done.

Damn, I didnt expect it to hurt this much.
It will fade, I know.

At least now I'll never accept anything less than what he gave me. The respect, the affection, the understanding.....I could go on....but I wont.
No one will ever be able to compeate.

Lets get off the pity train shall we?
Hope everyone has a wonderful 2004. ]]> ~charismatic-rain http://charismatic-rain.deviantart.com/journal/1547866/ http://charismatic-rain.deviantart.com/journal/1547866/ Fri, 26 Dec 2003 11:11:56 PST
In other news...
The guy I've been dating has been so great. He's the best. Caring, considerate, doesn’t put any pressure on me. He understands my reservations about relationships.... I'm waiting for the bomb to drop.
Jo the pessimist. It can only go down hill from here, right? lol
I'm awful.

I think I'm going to start working on my almost non-existent drawing skills more often. I'd like to work on my writing skills but....they are absolutely non-existent.

Like always, comments and especially criticism = Welcome-ness.

---------------------------------------- ------------------------
Update: I think I want out before the bomb drops.... I'm getting in too deep. This is not exactly fun.

We live 3 hours from eachother. I will NOT move, and he has too many things going for him there. So tell me, what's the point of this? It's not like I'm looking to get married, GOD NO, and I dont even think I could handle a real relationship right now (even though he's hinting at wanting one)...but STILL....
yeah... I'm over analizing. ]]> ~charismatic-rain http://charismatic-rain.deviantart.com/journal/1481962/ http://charismatic-rain.deviantart.com/journal/1481962/ Tue, 02 Dec 2003 18:10:45 PST I've been lurking for a while and like a lot of what I see.

I really have no artistic ablities what-so-ever, but I have that urge to create something....anything.
So here I am.

Comments are always welcome. Especially criticism. ]]> ~charismatic-rain
