Well hello there!

I can't believe it's been around 4 months since my last journal! It' not that I'm that busy, I just seem to be doing so many other things, and I'm always too lazy to upload stuff to here (I know, I is lazy...) But I have been doing a lot with Photography, I spend a lot of time in the darkroom everyday at school. It's fun. And now that the weather is getting warmer I will definately be taking more pictures outside in the woods with my Holga.

I just wanted to mention again that I have a second account where I upload my traditional stuff to: ~uepsillon

And if you like reading blogs, you might want to take a look at mine: The Fruit That Eats Itself
It's in German though. It's basically just me posting pictures of my outfits, inspirations, music and DIY and occasionally rants.

I will be uploading a few things in the next fewdays on both my accounts, and I'll include some traditional stuff here, because I did one shoot with film and digital.

<3 Nina

Harr thar

So as you see I have been adding a few more deviations It's the end of the marking period so I had to finish all my photography-projects at school and now I'm uploading them.

Before I forget:

Please vote for my picture on JPGmag.com!

Clickie (you know you want to )

And then all you have to do is look at the picture and decide if you like it or not (hopefully you like it...) and then press the green () or red () button.

Thank you!! <3


Other than that there's not much to say... if you're bored and need something to read, read my blog (link at the top of this journal!)

Hello everyone!

I think it's time to update my journal...

I've been in the states for two months now, one of those two I was travelling, but the other I've been getting used to my new home. School started three weeks ago, and I'm getting used to that too slowly... The only thing that's really annoying about the US is that there are so many fucking rules!!! THey treat you like a six year old! YOu have to get all this stuff from school signed by your parents so that they won't sue the school and stuf, and you can't leave the school during the day! ANd I know this sounds shallow, but I really miss going out with friends and drinking. Not binge drinking but just, responsible drinking.

Anyway. I'm starting to get to know some people, the problem is tat almost no one knows that I'm an exchange student, because I have a relatively normal american accent. But it's getting better.

AAAND, I'm taking photography class It's my favourite class, next to euro lit and psych. It's so much fun, and we're only getting started! I'm putting digital photography on hold for a bit, because in class we're gonna be working in the darkroom alot.

Ahaand, I bought a 35mm black corner HOLGA D!!! I'm sooo excited about that one, I shot one roll, but it didn't catch so I never actually took any pictures... but I'm doing another one now, so yeah, I'm excited
ANd I'm thinking of getting a diana+ at urban outfitters... but I need to check out how expensive 120 medium format film is... and where it can be processed... does anyone know about that? If you do, please note me about it

ANd I'm borrowing a traditional SLR minolta from the school, but I have to buy batteries for it today...

SO yeah. that's about it.
I'm really addicted to lemonade, I mean, isn't it awsome?
I'm reading crime and punishment by fyodor dostoevsky for european literature, and it's very hard to read but I really like it.
I saw the new coen bros. film, it was really funny^^
And I got an electric guitar and I had my first lesson on thursday I'm excited about that...
ANd I love having a dog for a year now^^ He's soo cute and really fluffy I <3 him.

And that's really it, at least for now. I'm trying hard to get back into photographing stuff. THe problem is that I don't have a model and I'm really into fashion photography right now.
But I've made a list of things I want to photograph, so I'll be doing that

And to my new watchers (six of you I think), thanks so much for watching I didn't even notice because I haven't been on dArt and the internet in general for a while...

<3 nina

ps: I made a new account here called ~uepsillon, where I uploded a few of my summer fisheye shots. I might make that account my Lomography/darkroom account, and this more my digital account, if that makes sense... So if you have time, please check it out! thank you!

Yet.



Haaiii!!
I'm in Miami^^ Right at the beach... haven't gone swimming yet though. We only just got here at like 7 pm. If I were still on swiss time it'd be 5 in the morning now, but I've been going to bed so late anyways that I won't really have jetlag
The flight was fine... some turbulences and I of course got all paranoid about it, but I did a good job hiding it

Oh yea, yay for me for doing the pill cereal photos I can't start editing the rest until saturday when we're on the cruise ship, my dad still has my HD. You know what. No you probably don't. Stupid kwestion, sorry. Anywayz, I think I'm gonna stop writing this in here and go over to my blog. SO if you're bored or just enjoy reading boring stuff, go take a look! -> [link]

Just wanted to give a little update. It's strange to think that I won't be going home for a year. No more lake lucerne. No more mount Pilatus. But at least I'll have NYC only 1.5 hours away not too bad, eh?

I think I should go to sleep, I don't know why but I feel like the earth is moving o.O Like on the ocean. Yeah. Not good.

Goodbyeee!!!

(Still doing this btw

I saw this in ~wonkafool's journal and I think it's a really good idea. THis way alot of talented people on dART that aren't very famous have a chance too So here goes:

->

First 10 people , who comment on this journal, will get 3 of their pictures featured here.
All they need to do then is write a journal entry like this one, featuring another 10 people including one who started it .

Hellowies

(sounds like elouise^^)

I know I haven't really been uploading anything... and this time I'm not gonna make an excuse, because there is no excuse. I just can't get my ass off my chair and go take those pictures I've been wanting to take for a long long time... I'll do it tomorrow :3
Not that I think you've been holding your breaths XD

I don't even know why I always write WHY I don't upload. I mean, who cares? XD


Yeah. I've been doing something else though. I've been stumbling^^ It's soo addicting... "StumbleUpon" add-on for firefox... I love it!

Oh yeah, and I switched to a better blog On wordpress.com, here it is:
clickie: [link]
I'd really like it if you'd take a look at it And maybe leave a comment?

Aaand, I uploaded a video on youtube that I made in school with a friend
YOu can watch it here if you like: [link]
The quality isn't very good, but I can't get it to be better... But I still like to watch it. I like backward stuff.

My dad bought a camera, and I'm allowed to keep it with me for the year that I'm in the states, so I can film what I'm doing I might even start a vlog on youtube.. it's just strange to think that everyone will be able to watch it. And judge me.


Yeah. I know...

Oh, and me and my friend ~chiffonshorts made a swiss-art club: ~swiss-art. We haven't put anything on there yet though... But if you're from Switzerland, keep an eye on it (*cough* *hint* *~wonkafool* *hint* *cough* wotsch au als admin hälfe?)

That's awl... kay byeee!!

birthday_cake.: http://sporknfoon.deviantart.com/journal/19235643/ Sun, 06 Jul 2008 12:59:30 PDT Out of the bag.
With a spoon.

Yes, this is what happens to me when I have too much time and not enough stuff I want to do... I'm basically just hanging around waiting for my exchange year to begin


So I bought the camera ^^ The sony alpha 300 It's really cool... And I bought it with my own money. It's really cool... I haven't taken that many pictures yet, don't really have anything to photograph at the moment (or well, I haven't looked in my idea book yet )
I'm really happy about it

So the last few days I've been cleaning up, going to ballet, gong out with friends, and cleaning up. Mostly cleaning up. I'm organizing everything.

I have like 4 creative drawers, one whole drawer full of "Memories" (letters, postcards, photographs, little stuff, a wishbone etc...) and I sorted through ALL of my schoolstuff, my books, and most importantly: my papers. I have so many papers. Just pages full of notes and scribbles and drafts of stuff and sketches. And newspaper clippings that my parents always give me.. (and once the give them to me I can't throw them out. Seriously, I've told them to stop because it just piles up... and I always think "this is interesting, I'll keep it, I might need it once". It's like a disease or something o.O Or some sort of disorder...)

anyway... Now all I have to clean up is the stuff lying around my room, that hasn't been sorted yet Because when i do a "Major clean up", as my mom likes to call it, I take everything out of it's box/shelf/drawer and throw it on the floor. SO for a few days until I'm finished my room looks like a consturction site, a very messy one too... I can barely walk in (but I manage ) and my parents don't come in(which is a nice side effect...)out of fear of breaking their necks.
And then when I've sorted everythingand decided what needs to go in what drawer/shelf/box, I start putting everything in place

And I'm kinda in the middle of that last phase...

Oh! And I finally got my report card from school(or whatever it's called in english) I had a 5.15, which I never would have expected! I haven't had marks like this since primary school o.O I guess it's all about motivation...

I will be makeing some more photos soon Tomorrow I'll start... I wan't to finally make this "pill cereal" picture... and some other photo ideas I've had for a while now

Aaand, I went to have lunch with ~wonkafool this week on tuesday I think... Hello wonkafool!! (if you're reading this)

omg, I just found this dART icon! :
Isn't he from "where the wild things are"? That was one of my favourite books when I was little^^ My favourite scene is/was where his bedroom turns into the jungle It's so surreal..


And I finally createda blog, for my exchange year:
[link]

I'll be writing non dART related stuff in there from now on, so I can keep this journal less boring for my watchers So if for some reason you enjoy reading about my life you can read about it in my blog from now on ~sporknfoon http://sporknfoon.deviantart.com/journal/19124233/ http://sporknfoon.deviantart.com/journal/19124233/ Mon, 30 Jun 2008 09:20:19 PDT wonkafool's journal and I think it's a really good idea.

Yeah, sorry about freaking out like that on saturday... it was just really frustrating...

I still don't know how to mak eit work but I'll just try again today...

I'm starting to get everything ready for when I leave

Today I installed skype and I bought a headset My name is, of course, sporknfoon, if you want to add me, although I'm not sure I'm ready to talk to internet people yet o.O Isn't that totally weirdish? I mean, whoever calls me will only hear my voice, and I don't really have a nice voice... And then they'll judge me based on my voice which wouldn't be so good... o.O

Well anyway.

OOOH!! I almost forgot!! I bought the sony alpha 300 camera I'm so excited... they're sending it, I hope it'll be here by wednesday. Can't wait

Here's a list of what I need to do:

.clean up room (starting with the shelf, then the desk drawers, the desk, clothing drawers, under my bed and then the closet in my brothers room)
.visit my godmother and cousin in Basel
.finsih list of what I need to bring to Amercia
.take pictures of sushi-candy
.search through folder on my computer and find unedited pictures I've forgotten about
.make new pictures
.watch ballet-performance dvd
.call doctor
.visit my cat

yeah, that's all I can think of right now...

ugh, it's so hot here -.- And I mean, come on, it's Switzerland! We should have mild summers!

It's not like I don't like the sun, I do, just this summer, it doesn't like me. I got a sunburn yesterday, and I NEVER get sunburns. It's on my back, under my shoulders, where my hands couldn't reach to spread the suncream. YOu can actually see till where I could reach, cause there's this white spot where there's no sunburn, and then around that it's all red... At least this shows that suncream really works...

Ohh, but I do like the summer evenings, because they usually mean: storms

When I was little I never liked storms, I would curl up in bed with the covers over my head and wait till it's gone, but now I like to sit in the livingroom and watch. It's really beautiful! A few day ago the sky was really yellow. WHen I looked outside it looked like an old photograph, turned yellow because of it's age.

Ahh, I'm so glad school is finally over. NOw I just have to wait for my creativity to return... The thing I'm look... ]]> ~sporknfoon http://sporknfoon.deviantart.com/journal/19093992/ http://sporknfoon.deviantart.com/journal/19093992/ Sat, 28 Jun 2008 14:04:54 PDT I know I have to open the "image effects" file, create a new layer with the filename of the effect, and then save the file and delete the cache, BUT IT'S NOT WORKING!!!!

Sorry for the shouting -.- I am going crazy here. It always says: "could not save yadda yadda yadda because the file is locked. Use the "properties" command in windows explorer to unlock the file"

ANd I did exactly that.

Like, fifty times!!! Seriously! And every single fucking time I try to save it again, that shitty little box pops up saying "blablabla unlock the file". ARGHH. Even though I changed the setting of the folder, it keeps switching back to "read-only" thing...

ANd I really really need that effect, it's really great. And I need it on my laptop because I'm leaving in 4 weeks for a year and then I won't have my big pc anymore...

SO please, if you know what I'm talking about help me!!
Thank you...

Sorry I haven't been doing anything lately... I've been seriously stressed at school. And at home, where I had to study for school We had all thes stupid exams and other stuff.

One of those other stuff was a ballet performance It went quite well. We did nutcracker (yes, in the middle of june, I know...). I played a maid in the party scene, was one of the snowflakes, princesses in the land of the sweets, an arabian, a russian and in the waltz of the flowers. All in all it went pretty well The little 5 year olds were sooo cute
Anywhoo.

Only two more days of school! And in almost exactly a month I leave for the US of A On July 24th
The sentences I have spoken the most over the last few days were:
"America", "July 24th", "A year" and "Pennsylvania"

I'm going to Devon-Berwyn in PA, if anyone lives around there, send me a note or comment!

I'm soo excited! I looked through the catalogue of courses that I got from the highschool I'm gonna be going to (I think I'm gonna be a senior? I'm not sure), and there are SO many classes to chose from o.O I marked all the ones I'm interested in and there are like 27... and one of them is a photography class!! And psychology, and philosophy... and much more... And I'm so excited to meet my guest family My parents know them... I think they're really nice And 0mg they have a dog!!! I love dogs. I've always wanted to know what it's like to have a dog... did you know that dog spelled backwards is "god"? Or god spelled b... ]]> ~sporknfoon http://sporknfoon.deviantart.com/journal/18461620/ http://sporknfoon.deviantart.com/journal/18461620/ Sat, 24 May 2008 10:07:49 PDT

* 1. Post these rules.
* 2. Each tagged person must post 8 things about herself on their journal.
* 3. At the end, you have to choose and tag 5 people and post their icons on the same journal.
* 4. Go to their pages and send a message saying you tagged them.
* 5. No tag-backs.

one: When I'm in pain, I make really really high and long noises, until it doesn't hurt as much anymore.

two: I just realised a few days ago that 4 is one of my favourite numbers along with 9 and 7, and that 7*7=49!! (creepy o.O)

three: My friend Daria and I are very strange o.O We do things at the same time and then we only find out later. Like, once we just startet singing the same song at the exact same time! Or well have the same "trains of thought", like someone mentions something and automatically it makes us think of the same thing, even if it's not directly "realted" to whatever was said.

four: When I'm stressed out (psychologically), and I have a lot of things coming up and a lot of things to do, I tend to block myself off from the outside world. Like I'll start listening to music during the breaks at school instead of talking with my friends and I'll kind of stop listening to conversations (not when it's only me and 1 other person). And suddenly everyone's so loud. Like, every noise someone makes annoys me so much more than usually, anyone who talks loud or shouts a lot (like the boys in our class, yes BOYS even though some of them are 18 already -.-) to me they seem like little children. And it makes me wanna yank their head off.

five: I have a to do/ideas/stuff book, and I always write stuff in there I love it, it helps me stay focused, because once I've written the stuff down I feel like it's ok to forget it because it's all in the book. I write down ideas and concepts for photographs, notes about which pictures I still need to edit. Crazy ideas I have for inventions, strange dreams, things I want/need to buy, fun facts, general information, appointments, thingsI need to do... It's great! And I always use the nearest pen which means almost every time a different one, so I always kinda know when I wrtoe what in (like what stuff I wrote on the same day) and it makes the book colorful

six: yesterday I was cleaning out the drawers of my desk and I found this box that I never payed attention too really... it's quite big, takes up half of the drawer so I'm suprised but anyway: it was full of little things I used to have in my nightstand in the old apartment. And it was kinda dark, the inside of the box. It felt like finding a treasure or something It was so nice to go through that stuff... I love it when things like that happen There were little stones and pictures of a few years ago. Two little booklets, in one of which my friends and I used to write little notes... and a little box into which I squished more little notes from my friends. Postcards. Pins (one of a new york cab ). Keys that go with no door I know. A teeny tiny little book about two mice that lived in a doll house. One half of an old frienship bracelet. And this thing to put on an open bottle that has the shape of a horses head, and it's dark with a light mane and very shiny (it's made of clay).

seven: If could play an instrument and would ever "form" a (rock) band, I'd want it to be called "The Velveteen Deers". I don't know why. I kinda like it. It sound nice. It reminds me of the velveteen rabbit, but I like deers so yeah... It makes me think of purple deers with velvety fur...

eight: In the night from wednesday to thursday I had the strangest, most intense dream. It was really creepy. I was reading a book but at the same time I was the main character in the book. And there were situations in the book where I could do things of my own free will, but after that it just went on. And I was reading at the same time. I was in a house and there was this strange woman that owned a house on a hill (there were other houses too but she was the furthest up the hill). ANd there were two men. And I was in the house and I was never sure if they were my friends, my enemies or just neutral. I was sittin... ]]> ~sporknfoon http://sporknfoon.deviantart.com/journal/18380034/ http://sporknfoon.deviantart.com/journal/18380034/ Sun, 18 May 2008 09:39:09 PDT I just said I'm gonna look outside my window and the first thing I notice is gonna be the title of this journal entry... and the first thing I saw was a little kid running in the rain over by the tennis club

Phew... I just got home from buying new earphones (they hate me! Seriously! ALL of my earphones break. But not completely, just one side! It's like torture! And then suddenly the sound comes back on for half a second and urrgh!!!) and I got soaking wet. Like in the shower, it's really really raining...

I love it When I got off the bus it was just a light drizzle, almost like steam, and then after a few minutes it was really pouring... I listened to "Seaside" by the Kooks while walking home... It smelled nice. Like summer rain in Flushing (New York).

I finally downloaded music again I really consume music, sometimes I feel like I eat it. I listen to a song again and again until I'm sick of it and need a break from it...

It was rainy yesterday too. I was home alone in the evening so I sat on the balcony in my warmest pj's and wrote up "menu-ideas". And I listened to music. It was really relaxing, the stormy clouds and the half darkness. And the air was clean, like clothes when you take them out of the washing machine.
Anyway, you're probably wondering what the "menu-ideas" thingy is. Well, when my mother asks me "what do you want me to buy for you to eat" I never know what to say, because I don't have ideas. So I wrote a list of menus with all the 3 food groups in it (protein, carbs and veggies/fruit). So now when my mom asks me I can take my list and choose a menu

I love lists.

Anyhoo.
I feel kinda sick. I have a sugar overdose... Yesterday I watched this SATC episode where Miranda is addicted to chocolate cake. And today my mom made a chocolate cake. Our conversation:
Me walking into kitchen: what's cooking?
My mom: I'm making a chocolate cake.
Me (having now arrived in the kitchen): Are you going to bring it to someones house?
My mom: Noo...
Me: soo, can we eat it?
My mom: Yes. You know I just watched the Sex and the City where Miranda's eating chocolate cake and I really want cake now, so I'm making one.

She even made icing With a bit of caramel bailey's irish cream

So yeah, I had one little slice and now I can't really move because it might come back up if I do...

Oh btw, my dad finally bought the right lens for his enlarger (I think that's what it's called in english o.O) and I could make some pictures THe "darkroom" is in the garage and we have the red lamps too It's really cool down there (no not in that way, it's actually pretty warm ), because I can sing along to my music really loudly and nobody will hear me I already uploaded one picture, "crime scene". I used the stuff from a kids microscope kit that my brother once got for christmas when we were little

On thursday (we're off from school then ) I'm gonna take pictures with Daria (aka ~chiffonshorts), I had this idea to take "fashion" pictures (9) and then cut them so they're square and make a big square out of nine pictures. Jaja, me and my ideas...

I cut my hair today. I started with the bangs but then it looked strange... so I cut the front part (around my jaw) a bit shorter, it was to long and it always had this strange shape. I'm actually qu... ]]> ~sporknfoon http://sporknfoon.deviantart.com/journal/18276403/ http://sporknfoon.deviantart.com/journal/18276403/ Sun, 11 May 2008 15:56:01 PDT wonkafool

This is scary! I mean in a good way, but still.

I did this Myers-Briggs Type Indicator Test, and my type is "INTP":

INTP - "Architect". Greatest precision in thought and language. Can readily discern contradictions and inconsistencies. The world exists primarily to be understood. 3.3% of total population.

Introverted (I) 57.14% Extroverted (E) 42.86%
Intuitive (N) 63.16% Sensing (S) 36.84%
Thinking (T) 52.38% Feeling (F) 47.62%
Perceiving (P) 57.89% Judging (J) 42.11%

Logical, original, creative thinkers. Can become very excited about theories and ideas. Exceptionally capable and driven to turn theories into clear understandings. Highly value knowledge, competence and logic. Quiet and reserved, hard to get to know well. Individualistic, having no interest in leading or following others. Highly analytical, they can discover connections between two seemingly unrelated things, and work best when allowed to use their imagination and critical thinking.

Careers that could fit you includes:
Physicists, chemists, biologists, photographers, strategic planners, mathematicians, university professors, computer programmers, computer animators, technical writers, engineers, lawyers, forensic researchers, writers, artists, psychologists, social scientists, systems analysts, researchers, surveyors.

These are the websites I did the tests on (both times with the same result, evn though they had different questions!)

It's so strange how that's pretty much my personality o.O Like, the whole analyzing stuff, and research, I love research! And chemistry is my fav subject in school! Wow... THe only thing they didn't get completly correct is me being quiet. I mean, I can be quiet around strangers and stuff, but usually I just looove to talk (Who would've guessed?)
And that all the things I at the moment consider doing later in life, as a career are on the list: psychologist, research, chemist, photographer(well, more a hobby than a career )…

Ok, change subject: Yesterday, my family was SO annoying. I was trying to study, but they kept distracting me! I have a hard time concentrating: I need to be in a big room, with a lot of open space, alone, it can't be cold or too warm, no electronic devices in the room, no movement, and silence, not complete silence though, a little white noise is good.
But my mom was sitting next me drinking tea and reading the newspaper. EVERY TIME she took a sip I lost my train of though, every time she turned the page, it was like someone pressed the "pause" button on my brain and all I could think of was the sound of her tea drinking and the sound the cup makes when she sets it on the table.
And then my dad came home and started talking to my mom and then it was just impossible to concentrate! I mean, they were talking so loudly! And anyway, when I hear people talking (especially people I know), I HAVE to listen, I can't just not listen! I mean, what if they say something important? What if it's something that I have information on, and I need to tell them? What if it’s information that could save the world? If I don't listen I won't know! Ya know?!

Anyway, I then tried to escape to the tv room, but they kept talking so loudly! So I got my iPod to block out their voices, but then I just kept singing along to the songs... (see? I broke the rule about electronic devices...) So I turned it off, but then the sun shining through the window distracted me because it made me too warm… In the end I just gave up because even if they had stopped talking, it were the right temerature, and everything else, I was now so angry at everyone that concentrating was out of the picture…

So I gave up studying and got dressed, walked to the store nearby, brought my film to be developed and bought two new rolls of film This made me quite happy again. Walking is always good… And then later that evening my aunt and godfather came by and ate dinner with us. And I sat in the living room working on my myspace page (I KNOW, me, myspace XD). And then I saw that you can look for schools on there So I looked for Conestoga (the high school I’m gonna be at when I go to America), and I found it^^

So now I’m looking at peoples pages to see what everyone’s like there (niaahaha, me sneaky… ~sporknfoon http://sporknfoon.deviantart.com/journal/17620885/ http://sporknfoon.deviantart.com/journal/17620885/ Tue, 01 Apr 2008 04:51:50 PDT :3

<--- !!! Warning: please ignore all insults and spelling mistakes, this person is very unstable and unpredicatble at the moment. !!! --->


It's time for a new journal! Yay! (<-- you'll be reading that alot today, I can't stop saying "yay" -.- really annoying... I think I'm trying to make my life more exciting by saying it.

Let me tell you, it's not working...)

I'm really bored. I've had the last week free and another one to go and there's nothing to do.
Well, no, that's a lie, there's a lot to do, but I'm lazy and moody and tired for no reason...
I have a lot to do for school but i just don't feel like doing it. So instead I'm playing with my new laptop.

Ooooh, yes! I almost forgot! I have a new laptop It's kewl and much faster. So I can edit pictures in photoshop, listen to music AND have firefox open at the same time Yeah, it's cool... it's a him actually I named him wasabi, don't know why, just kinda fits^^

Well after a while I got kinda bored just playing with my computer so I made a list of things to do:

[x] make face mask out of fruits and stuff in kitchen
[]shower with clothes on
[]visit my cat
[x]make video of me cleaning up room and speed up
[x] go jogging right after I wake up


Haha, the face mask was fun I made a scrub and a "normal" mask. For the scrub I squeezed a lemon and mixed the juice with some orange juice. That I mixed with quark. And because it was too liquidy(is that even a weerd?) I added maizena and heated it up in the microwave to make it thicker . Then I blended (is that righ? o.O Dunno what it's called in english exactly...) the lemon and mixed it in with the rest. Added salt and whee! Finished
And for the other one I mixed yogurt with honey (mmmhh, twas good :3), added buttermilk, black tea, half a banana(blended) and eggwhite (beaten to puffy white stuff ). Yay!
And then I smeared it all over my face, woohoo! I have no idea if it really did something but I don't care, it was fun.
The jogging was less fun... it was basically just jogging... and music. But when I came home I couldn't eat because I felt like it would just come right back up XD So I didn't
The cleaning up was not really fun, but necessary. It was hard to get out to get food and go to the bathroom... Somehow my room always feels like a cage or a cave during vacations. Cause only one wall has windows, big windows, and I usually have the blinds down and 1/4 open, so that's like the bars, and sometimes they're fully closed, like a cave Yay! I liek kaves
And I went to visit my cat, but he didn't show up... I'm going again later in the week
And I'm looking forward to showering with my clothes on For some reason I've always wanted to do that... (First I thought I'd just do it in PJ's but that yould be cheating^^)

Oh yeah, I have a flickr account now: [link]


Gahh my stomach is kiling me

x_______X

I wanna shrivel up and DIE!!!

Okaay, uhm, I think I'd like to take that back now, k thank you Hehe... that was just the last pain-wave talking there... hehehhh.

God, my splurging has become so bad o.O Just yesterday, I splurged twice! on the same thing... dulce de lece with coffe flavor, mhh... ]]> ~sporknfoon http://sporknfoon.deviantart.com/journal/16772520/ http://sporknfoon.deviantart.com/journal/16772520/ Thu, 07 Feb 2008 15:53:21 PST Flickr Account

It was sooo kewl
I even bought a fisheye camera from lomography!
I'm so excited about that, I used one film, I'll have to go bring it some place to be developed.
The camera is so cool.

It's blue. Really blue.

And it has a teensy little fish on it.

Doesn't get much better than that, eh?
I'll make pictures of it, sometime when I have time. I'm really stressed at the moment even though I'm on vacation... I have to go pull out a tooth tomorrow, and I'm gonna get a shot so I don't feel anything (I'm totally having nightmares about doctors injecting stuff into my spine that makes me paralysed. I know, I'm a freakk ). My problem is that I can't decide what's worse: getting the shot, or pulling out a tooth without one.

Okay, I totally strayed off topic. I was talking about paris. Focus...

On Sunday I went to Marige Frères, this cute tea shop. It smelled really good and the tea was great So was the muffin. Although I didn't like the scone, I don't like those, unfortunatley. Then I went to the Centre Pompidou, this cool Museum, where we went to the top to see this Giacometti Exhibition. Not really my kind of art so I just sat there waiting for my mom, aunt and godfather, and kind of stared at the wall and watched the people. Waaay more interesting in my opinion And for dinner we had mexican food Yuummy...

EDIT:
I totally forgot this!! When we were on the metro to the hotel from the train station, this guy came in and started playing on his guitar, and first it was rlly annoying but then: (homg^^) He started playing hey there delilah! I took a little video to show my fwend We lub the song... That made me happy Ok, now I'm finished.

/EDIT

Ond monday we shopped-till-we-dropped. Kinda. More like shopped-till-we-got-really-tired-and-irritated-and-started-to-piss-eachother-off. We're a lovely family
I got two tops (one's a light-grey flowy one and the other a black, velvet cute one) and a pair of jeans (cigarette jeans ).

And then we went to colette.

Oh my god, it was so cool. I love that store! It's not really big, but really stylish and shiny and it had so many useless, shiny, cool things that nobody really needs, but still wants to have. And the top floor was like a museum. They sell clothes, but there aren't any racks, just dummies dressed up in whole outfits (cool outfits..) with shoes at the bottom, shiny, luminous repettos.
That's where I bought the camera. And some kewl stuff for my fwend, tehehehe.
And before we left I went to the bathroom there, and after washing my hands I saw this strange hand-dryer-machine. It's really cool, you hold your hands in, and it "sprays" air out really fast, kind of like an "air-squeegee", and you have to pull your hands out slowly. Very cool...
And in the evening we ate at "Bofinger". The meat was perfect... It could also have been the fact that I hadn't eaten for about ten hours in which I was running around the city taking in as much as possible, but I think it's just a really good reastaurant

Tuesday was kind of a wasted day... Except for the ballet school. It was so nice to be there and watch classes. There was just this really nice atmosphere, people warming up, or eating between classes, or just sitting and watching. And we even saw a dancer we know from Switzerland taking class t... ]]> ~sporknfoon http://sporknfoon.deviantart.com/journal/16691517/ http://sporknfoon.deviantart.com/journal/16691517/ Sat, 02 Feb 2008 13:52:15 PST Has everyone forgotten that there's actually a much nicer thing with the name paris?
Yesh I'm going to Paris in France^^ Tomorrow! I have to get up at 5.30 in the morning, but it will be worth it I'm gonna travel with that new, fast TGV, hope I don't get sick :S
Of course I'll have my camera with me so expect some pictures when I get back^^ But until then you won't see me I'll be back on wednesday the 6th.

Other than that there's not much going on at the moment... If you still want to hear about it ("it" being my boring, normal life ), read on. If not, just skip to the bottom where I list some kewl people


I got good marks in school, and I'm really proud It's the first time in years that I've had marks this good. It's actually kinda freaky... my total average is a 5 (in switzerland the marks go from 1-6, one being "very bad" and six being "very good", if you look at it in percent, then a five is 80%).
And my average in physics and chemistry are both a 5.5 o.O

And I went to "fasnacht", I guess in English it's called "mardi gras", you konw, where you dress up and (almost) everyone gets drunk?
It was fun, but I had kind of a problem with my costume. I just thought I'd go as cleopatra, because I had this wig, but I din't know what else I was going to wear. So in the last minute I changed my mind and went as a surgeon/doctor whatevs in scrubs with a stethoscope XD yeah, was fun


Soo, here are all the kewl people/clubs you've been waiting for! Show them some looove!

http://sporknfoon.deviantart.com/journal/16388173/ Sun, 13 Jan 2008 13:10:18 PST
I shouldn't be writing this. I should be studying physics, but oh well...
In the last two days I've gotten so many ideas for taking pictures... I wrote them all up in my to-do-book (yes, I need a book. A list is just not enough...). Here are some of them:
.scan my "camera obscura"-pictures I made in art class last year.
.edit pictures I took in our schools lab
.take a picture of a ballerina and pair it with a picture of my cat...
.picture entitled "Leftovers"

And: I finally know where I'm going to go for my exchage year I'm going to Devon-Berwyn in Pennsylvania in the USA . So if anyone's from around there, send me a random note! I'm really excited about going there. I'm gonna make a seperate dA account where I upload all the pictures I'm gonna make there

That's about all for now... oh, and I've been tagged :


Tagged and hugged by
Here are the rules:

Post these rules.
Each tagged person should post 8 (eight) aleatory (random) facts about themseleves.

In the end, tag and name your 8 (eight) people.
Go to their DA pages and comment saying that they have been tagged and hugged.
...................................................................................................

1. I like cutting cellerie, more than I like eating it, because I like the crunchy sound it makes when the knife goes through it.

2. When I turn on my computer and use the internet on a sunday afternoon, it's like hours of my life mysteriously vanish. I look at the clock and 5 hours have passed and all I've done is listened to music and post a few comments.

3. I need post-it notes to survive. The cover up the frame of my screen. If I don't write my ideas on one of those little, yellow pieces of paper, I forget them within minutes...

4. I love milk. Unfortunately milk hates me. I drink the same amount of milk as my mother, father and brother put together.

5. Sometimes, when I'm bored, I start commentating my surroundings and actions in my head and describe everything. The moments I do this with I can always remember very clearly.

6. When I was about two years old, and I was in Spain with my family and relatives, my aunt used to take walks with me. Whenever I wanted to go on a walk, I went to her and said: "Wanna go bye bye!" Sometimes I still feel like I wanna go bye bye...

7. My first word (after mommy and daddy) was cookie.

8. For me numbers and letters all have a gender, character and just sort of a general feeling. Some of them colors, others textures... I've had this as long as I can remember, but only realized that not everyone has this when I was about 14 and asked my friends what gender "A" has for them and they were all like: "o.O What the fudge are you talking about?"

I hug and tag:

Hullo my fwend ^^


http://sporknfoon.deviantart.com/journal/15858418/ Sun, 09 Dec 2007 06:39:17 PST
Maybe I should have used that as a title o.O oh well... I could still change it now but I don't see a point in doing so.

Sorry for not posting anything in a while... I'm kinda busy. And you know how people talk about "life" all the time? Well, I went ahead and got one.

Yay me.

I do miss taking pictures and editing them, but I don't know what to take pictures of at the moment. I'm just looking for old pictures I took long ago, so I can edit them and don't have to take new ones XD
Another problem is that if I want to take a picture with a person in it, I need a model. I am not a model. So yeah. I need to lure my friends to my house and take sneaky pictures of them *niahahaha* (I know, I have a pathetic evil laugh... maybe I should buy "evil laughing for dummies" *hint for freeend-> x-mas present!*)

Ok. I think that's all. Thank you for letting me waste 2 minutes of your life. I really enjoyed it.

Have a nice day and check out these people/clubs:



Ps: look at the cute santa under my journal by "mood". Isn't it adorable? ^^ I want to eat it!

But I don't kno what to write about.

But I'm sure if I just wait a bit, I'll start blabling on about stuff...

Oh! I know! I'll make a to do list for devArt:

.take pictures of ballerina soaps
.take picture of angel soap
.take picture of toothbrushes
.start editing pictures of agendas
.take pictures of purple chips
.take pictures of all the stuff I have in my "creative drawer"
.edit ballet pictures

So... o.O It will probably take me ages. Schools really... demanding.

Whatever. I'll find time

I still have to learn about all the different modes and settings and stuff... like how long the exposure (is that what it's called in english?) has to be and stuff. But I learn quickly when I want to.

I don't really know what to write in here... So I'll just write the things that are going through my head at the moment, so I can "arrange" them a bit.

I'm really excited about deviantART! I get bored really fast, and I need something that I can work on in my free time, without having the feeling that I HAVE to. Plus I can let out my creativity and stuff I really like taking pictures, even though they might not be that fantastic.

My father and I are making this little room in our garage, in German it's called a "hobbyroom" (I don't know if it's the same in English). We're gonna have some computers down there, a workbench and my very own darkroom (or at least there will be these big red lamps, and some room on the table for the chemicals and stuff) I enjoyed working in the darkroom in school...

Plus my dad used to take a lot of photographs too, he has two old, but really good cameras (the really big ones^^). Unfortunatley you can't load the pictures on to the computer so yeah... I don't want to waste too much film. So I've decided to save up for a good, digital camera and a fisheye lens. I like those... but of course those things are very expensive. So I'm hoping maybe my father and I can buy it together, because he said he's been wanting to buy one of those for a while now too.

Ya... I thought I wanted to write something more but I forgot o.O Whatever... nevermind

Oh, and check out ~chiffonshorts gallery! She's my best friend and just created an account on dART(I had to push her a bit ). She's also in some of my pictures. And we did "Imagination" together!
