So I've started taking a lot of portraits, especially of people close to me. And I'd like to think that I can express myself in this way by capturing those I love with a camera so that others can see them the way I do. In a lot of them I want it to be not only a portrait of the person but also of my relationship to him or her.

That's all.

My first year's almost over here at MECA. Wow.

I'm taking an Intro to Photography class which basically teaches black and white 35mm film photography. It's neat. I like learning about developing and printing film.

Just thought I'd let you all know. I'll be uploading a lot of photography in the near future.

I've met some cool new people, but I still feel very alone in this great wonderful city. I wish it were easier for me to make friends, but I guess I'm just not aggressive enough. Its not that I'm shy or anything, I'll take to anyone... but I seem to have difficulty putting myself in the position where I can do that.

I'd like to walk around this area and take pictures of interesting things, and also I think it would be nice to spend some time in one of the really nice parks here, or go look at the shops and things around here... but I don't like doing things like that alone. >.<

I just want to get a shirt that says LET'S BE FRIENDS. Maybe that would make things easier...?

XD

Its quite a hectic time of year for me, being a senior in high school. By the end of January I need to have my portfolio done (about 3-6 more finished pieces), get my letters of recommendation, schedule interviews for colleges, and get my applications in. Not to mention financial aid... etc...

In any case, my number once choice where I'd like to go is the Rhode Island School of Design. But that place is ridiculously expensive so my number two choice is the Maine College of Art, which I visited and was a wonderfully lovely place.



:C

I miss the summer.

That's right - FILM. As in I have to manually wind my 35-mm film into my non-digital camera and wind it with each picture I take and replace the roll every 24 pictures. I have to focus the picture manually, set the shutter speed manually, and adjust the aperature manually. TAKE THAT TECHNOLOGY!

So anyways, as I fall deeper and deeper in love with my camera, I'll be putting up some new deviations that are *gasp* NOT OEKAKI, but photography.

Hope you guys enjoy my switch of mediums for a while.

When I click on your deviations and you say first thing: "Comment before you fave!", well, isn't that kind of pretentious? I mean, doesn't that mean that you are assuming that I'm going to automatically fave your deviation?

Don't tell me what to do - I'll fave without commenting if I goddamn feel like it!

hahaha

And also - where the fuck did this whole "Click for Full-View!" thing come from? When I'm browsing your gallery and all I see is tiny preview boxes asking for full-views, well shouldn't you be grateful I'm even in your damn gallery to begin with? Don't beg for full-views for an ego-boost. It's unsightly and pathetic.

Come on guys.

Don't take yourselves so seriously.

It's the changing of the seasons... and the beginning of school, everything; it all adds up to me becoming increasingly bored with the monotony of things. This whole routine - work, school, sleep, work, school, sleep. I used to be a creature of habit, but now it just drags me down. I want spontaneity, I need something exciting and different and new. I need a new pre-occupation.

And... in the midst of feeling all this confusion and stuff, I've come to the conclusion that life is just a cycle. A series on things, one after another, that you worry about. First, you worry about school and part-time jobs so that you are prepared to worry about college and having enough money to go, so that you can worry about getting a good enough job so that you can worry about all the bills you need to pay, and simultaneously you are worrying about finding someone who cares about you enough (or pretends to) just enough to marry them and have kids you can worry about. Most of all, we worry about what everyone else thinks of us. And just when you finish worrying about one thing, you find out that there's a whole new pile ahead of you.

Isn't that sad? I mean, really, isn't that just a pathetic way to live out your life? Day after day, year after year? I'm so sick of worrying.

Other things suck too, but for the sake of brevity (which I actually haven't been, so for the sake of not going on and on) and for the sake of not spreading my unhappiness too much, I'll leave it at that. Misery loves company, but I'm sure nobody cares about my problems.

I pretty much would like to fuck myself up and forget everything right now.

Someday I'd like to do something so great, that people would use my last name as an adjective. Doesn't really matter what, just so that my name acquires a connotation to it that when people hear it they think of me, and the terrific thing I did or person I was. You know, like when people refer to Sigmund Freud they say Freudian, or when someone wants to say that something has a Andy Warhol feel to it, they say it's very Warholian. There's a ton more, I bet you guys can think up some too, but that's what I'm talking about.

I want to be so fantastic that my name becomes an exception to the english language, and maybe even added into the dictionary. Just imagine! A whole new word created out of your name! Of course, Lawrance is in actuality a very hard name to make an adjective out of. Lawrancian? Lawrancism? I don't think so... I guess I'll just have to marry somebody with a last name easier to make an adjective out of. I could always adopt a pen name, or a stage name, you know, but I'd always feel like I was lying if I did that.

Anyways, I'd have to be really big for that to happen. No kidding, the people that get their names in the dictionary are always big hot-shots who made up some sort of theory or wrote a bestseller sixty years ago, or figured out a new way to make art when everyone else was still painting trees and flowers. You've gotta be in somebody's text book, you've gotta change history or something.

But man oh man, just you wait. I'll do something so terrific, everyone will use my name. I'll make a theory, or write a book or something. Just you wait. ]]> ~pianissimo-rose http://pianissimo-rose.deviantart.com/journal/9294832/ http://pianissimo-rose.deviantart.com/journal/9294832/ Thu, 06 Jul 2006 17:31:55 PDT
You know what's great about being a girl? Boobs. That's right, you heard me. I mean, they're just so... fun! So squishy and bouncy, too. I dunno, but they're just great. I love my boobs.

I was also thinking how great it would be to be a cat. I wish I was a cat. They have tails, and they get to sleep so goddamn much, I'd sleep 18 hours a day if I could! And cats don't have to go to school or work at all. Just ... sleep.

I'm thinking about quitting my job at Funworld to go work at Friendly's or somewhere I can get the experiance to work at a restaurant when I turn 18. Plus the tips are way better. I need money...

Almost have a car though! Yeeup, almost.. just gotta check it out and buy it, really. My parents have just decided to do it all in slow motion... god. Once I get a car, I'll buy a cell phone, and then everything will be better. Didn't know how much I really needed a cell phone until a few guys asked me my number and I feel like the biggest dork saying "Well... I don't have a cell phone... do you want my home number?"

Yeah... guys. I want a British man. Saw this kid at work last week, man he was gorgeous. Wanted to buy a dildo and anally rape him. Oh man, I would've wrecked that kid completely. Hahaha

Not sure why I'm writing about all this nothingness... just bored I guess. ajakcjakldjcblah I wanna go and see a movie. Really badly... kdjteitaokghd Somebody take me to the movies? ]]> ~pianissimo-rose http://pianissimo-rose.deviantart.com/journal/8979293/ http://pianissimo-rose.deviantart.com/journal/8979293/ Mon, 05 Jun 2006 14:43:07 PDT
I will tell you quite candidly right now: I am not religious. I do not read the Bible, I don’t believe there is a God, and the only time I was ever in Church I was attending a funeral. I don't even capitalize the 'h' when I replace God with pronouns.

That doesn't mean I don't like people that are religious, no in fact I respect people of faith; it's a respectable way to be. If you want to go to Church, you go to Church! And if you want to read the Bible, you read it! And if you want to pray to whomever your god is, you get on your knees and you pray! But you know what? Leave the rest of us out of it.

I fucking hate this "holier than thou" attitude some of you religious zealouts have with so many common everyday issues like gay marriage an abortion. You don't need to "enlighten" me, or save me or pray for me or shove your stupid opinions down my throat just because I believe something different than you.

Most of my friends are Catholic, so they generally don't really respect the gay lifestyle, or they do but don't like the idea of gays marrying. To me, it's almost common sense. It's equal rights, it's like why would you allow something to one group of people but deny it to another for absolutely no reason? Gay marriage makes you uncomfortable? THEN DON'T HAVE ONE. But you don't need to ruin the lives of millions of other people just because you don't agree with how they live their life.

Oh and I love those idiotic people who don't want gay people to be their children's teachers or coaches, ignorantly assuming that if they're gay, they're automatically pedophiles. A gay man doesn't like a young boy any more than a straight man likes a young girl. Either that or they're afraid that exposing kids to a gay person will contaminate their minds and that they'll grow up to be gay, too. Sure, okay. Let's just shelter our kids and raise them to be narrow-minded people, intolerant of anyone who's different than themselves. Great idea, jackasses.

My mother pretty much deliberately raised me non-religiously, so that I would be able to form my own opinions without the bias of any religious restrictions, and I am so grateful for it.

What I’m talking about here, is the complete and total lack of respect in some of these small-minded religious fucks. It’s not all of them, but I just hate those people who get all up in the faces of those with different ideas and judge them and tell them they’re immoral and so on. Who the hell are you to judge someone you don't even know?

The absolute hypocrisy of it is a little unnerving, is what I’m trying to say, because here are all these people that are supposedly good and kind and loving, and they’re outside the White House with signs that say “God Hates Fags”. And you know that if it weren’t for religious crazies that gay people would have been able to marry so much sooner. And there’s so much more shit going on in the rest of the country, hell, the world, I mean, there’s a genocide going on in Africa right now, it’s like “We’re sorry, Africa, the US is going to be a little late, we still don’t know what to do with all these gay people.” Um… hello? Come on.

And abortion? I'm pro-choice, let's just leave it at that. Don't like abortion? DON'T HAVE ONE. It's not your body, you can't tell a woman what to do with it. It's not like we're having a population shortage, or anything. Kinda crowded here, actually, we don't need to be having more kids if we can prevent it. And I'm not sorry for saying that. So you ask: how would I feel if my parents had aborted me? I was a FETUS, I wouldn't really have cared that much!

Honestly. It's just respect. I respect you have your ideas, why can't you respect that I have mine?

Just adding a new entry to ask you guys to help out my brother and a really great band. They're in this sort of contest thing, and they have a chance to play at Vans Warped Tour.

Just click the link below and listen to their song all the way through once a day up to June 16th. Or just listen to it once, whatever you can do would be helpful to them.

Battle of the Bands: Standard Allegiance

They kind of got a late start on this, so they need a lot of help. My brother is Pete, the guitarist.

Hey and if you like the song then reply here and tell me. Hell, tell me if you don't like it, I'm just curious what other people think.

Thanks guys! ]]> ~pianissimo-rose http://pianissimo-rose.deviantart.com/journal/8230687/ http://pianissimo-rose.deviantart.com/journal/8230687/ Tue, 21 Mar 2006 19:25:16 PST
So I haven't in such a long time. No one reads my journal anyway, but I want to write now because things have been bothering me recently.

Things have been going so completely terrible lately.

For one thing, I've completely given up on art. I mean, I'll still submit some things once in a while but I haven't drawn anything serious traditionally or digitally in months. I just really hate art. I'm trying desperately not to go to college for art but it's like I'm fighting a losing battle. I don't believe in destiny but sometimes I just feel like I should just give in because it's the one thing I'm relatively okay at. But I just... can't. Art does nothing for me. It just bores me.

Another problem: I have absolutely no idea what the hell I'm gonna do with my life. What I'm really gonna do, I mean, not my stupid pipe dreams. Everyone I know already knows what they wanna be and what college they're going to and who they're gonna marry and where they're gonna die and blah blah blah. I honestly don't want to go to college but ... I guess I have to. The only reason I go to school every day saying I'm gonna have some new occupation like comedian or kickboxer is because I'm really afraid of what I'm actually gonna end up being, so I just say things like that to amuse my friends. And it's really hard to go into AP US History everyday because that class is fucking based on the future and I can't help but feel so overwhelmingly out of place in that class because I couldn't give a shit about my grades.

I'm failing Driver's Ed, my roadwork is going horribly, I never study in school, I'm always late for work, I'm never prepared for anything and I can't seem to lose any weight. Basically, I am, as a person, just bad for humanity in general.

Ugh, I just want to leave. To just go far, far away and not have to be here anymore.


Things probably won't get better but at least I have my music and my friends. <3<3<3 ]]> ~pianissimo-rose http://pianissimo-rose.deviantart.com/journal/6265098/ http://pianissimo-rose.deviantart.com/journal/6265098/ Thu, 18 Aug 2005 19:37:20 PDT

I'm in the process of writing three original stories, and since it's my personal policy not to post a multi-chaptered story until it's 100% complete, it may take awhile. I've begun one story and I'm researching material for the other two. I hope to begin posting on my fictionpress account sometime this summer.

Hopefully you guys will get to see some original art based off these crazy ideas in my head.
