                <description><![CDATA[ I started shooting again (long story). And I've resigned myself to the fact that I need a new camera. The auto focus is not working on my camera, and while I wish I had the catlike reflexes needed to focus my lenses to their sharpest, my eyes are not that good. Even with glasses. I know I should probably just send the camera in to be fixed. It should be simple, the motor still works fine, it just won't focus on anything. Maybe it just needs to be cleaned or something.<br /><br />I figured out what I was doing wrong when I was uploading pictures to DA, and so I should be using this site more now. I get more feedback here than on flickr, and it helps me out.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So, we're FINALLY in our house. Got the keys a week and a half ago, finally finished painting and now all our stuff is in... It's not arranged, but at least all our stuff is here. I never thought I'd enjoy being a homeowner this much. Painting is awesome. And it's hilarious watching my cats try to run on the hardwood floors. Especially when they run in place for a second before they realize their claws do them no good. Bwahahahah... <br /><br />...I can't stand Halloween. I don't like dressing up in costumes, I'm very easily annoyed with people that do. Today was pretty chaotic, or I would be handing out candy to little children. I like doing that. But that's the extent of it. I'm one of those people that shakes their fist whenever someone walks on their lawn. ...Damn kids.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So, an update...<br /><br />Work is going well. Still training. I like mostly everyone I work with. <br /><br />I finally entered some pictures in the fair. One of them even received first place in its division. Needless to say, I'm pretty stoked. The prize was only $15.00, but I don't really care. The idea that my photos were hung in any public place for people to see was enough of a perk for me. <br /><br />I'm starting school in a couple days. And moving. We're in the final stages of escrow and should have our keys late this week or early next. Should be an interesting couple of weeks. <br /><br />I haven't uploaded anything in a long time. Hmmmm...<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So my photo buddy moved back to the city. And I'm starting a fulltime job next week, so that's really going to impair my freetime for taking pictures. I just have to force myself to get out there and take pictures. Going to another classmate's wedding this weekend, maybe I can get some shots there. <br /><br />Hopefully we'll be moving in a couple weeks. That is, if all goes according to plan. Can't wait to get the hell out of this apartment. My new neighbors use the stairwell as their personal smoke spot, don't even bother going all the way down the stairs, nevermind that it seeps into my apartment and stinks the place up. They also have huge parties on the regular. Last weekend, I swear fifty of them poured out of there at once, it was like a damn clown car. All making entirely too much damn noise, hollering and basically stampeding down the stairs. I also can't wait to not have to deal with carpet anymore. Looking at the carpet here, it just looks so dingy. I don't know how it got to be that way, we take really good care of the carpet! Whaaaatever. <br /><br />Uuugh, fulltime job. I can't wait to have my own money again, though. While I was waiting to be interviewed, a former boss of mine from Subway walked out on her lunch break. That was weird. She wished me luck on my interview. The place is probably so big, I'll never see her, but... Still, that's weird, right? I wonder if she's changed at all... Shit, with my luck, she'll be in the next cubicle over. /groan<br /><br />Gotta love that cashmoney though.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, or if it's just deviantArt wanting to frustrate the hell out of me, but every time I upload something in color that I've processed using my Raw converter, the colors come out faded and retarded and I'm sick of it, so I got a flickr. I'll still be uploading stuff here, but probably only black and white stuff. <br /><br />My flickr account: <a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://www.flickr.com/photos/far_away_photos/">[link]</a><br /><br />Some of the stuff is locked, and you have to be my friend to see. Right now I don't have too much there. Just some snaps and some pictures of Addison. <br /><br />Off to see Harry Potter, yippeeeee!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Well... okay, maybe I am dead. Or was. Right around the middle of April a ton of shit went down in my personal life and it's taken me a while to recover. I have some new perspectives... <br /><br />Anyways, I've been getting out more in the last couple of weeks and it's been doing me a lot of good. I'm looking for a job now, something to occupy my mind. <br /><br />Loren and I finally had an offer accepted on a house. It's small (maybe 150 sq. ft more than what we're in now), but its all hardwood floors, and a cute little backyard on a corner lot. <br /><br />I got around to sorting out my gallery. I have things more sensibly sorted now, I think. It really helps to have a theme or concept in mind... <br /><br />PS: My new obsession is Heroes/Zachary Quinto. As I've said before, ZQ was cute as Spock, but he's effing HOT as Sylar.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

Some of it was done as homework, my favorite stuff from the past couple of months.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Hey, remember how I used to sleep 8 hours a night between the hours of 10pm and 10am? Remember when I used to participate in things that happen in the morning... like breakfast? <br /><br /> I really hate sleeping the way I do. This cannot be healthy. <br /><br />I have nowhere to be and no boss to answer to and I spend my days at home by myself. Perhaps I /should/ rejoin the land of the living soon. <br /><br />...nah. Out there are people. In here is my living room. And I dig my living room.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I think it's really rude when people ask when I'm going to have children. Like I'm some kind of fucking baby gumball machine. Drop in a quarter, spit a few out... <br /><br />I had someone say to me recently, "Obviously, you're not a parent. You won't know until you have kids... Having kids is better than sex." (The really ironic thing is that this person has had sex less times in the last two years than I have fingers on my right hand). Anyways, I really hate that kind of statement... A, If there is something I don't know, that I can only know by having children, then I'm better off not knowing it. And B, NO- IT IS /NOT/. I will take an all-night shagathon over rosy, dimpled cheeks and baby giggles ANY DAY.  Hell, even if the sex was bad, I would still prefer that to having a kid. <br /><br />Its all a bunch of bullshit. I'm beginning to think that people who have kids encourage others' baby-making because they don't want to be alone in the nightmare they've created for themselves. Misery loves company. <br /><br />In other news, I saw Watchmen and it was amaaaazing. So I'm using something from the movie for my subject line. <br /><br />Closing date on our house is supposed to be April 20th, but our realtor is telling us it will probably be closer to early May. Either way, our days in this apartment are numbered. I think it knows that. Last night, we had some weird kind of power problem. I turned the light on in the bedroom, and the entire ceiling fan died. Along with about half of the switches in my apartment. None of the breakers were tripped though and all the outlets themselves were working fine. I hit the reset button on the outlet in the bathroom and somehow /that/ fixed everything. Go figure... Whatever, electricity. <br /><br />Okay, now I'm just babbling...<br /><br /> ]]></description>

And that sexy mane of wild red hair. It bounces when she sings. And she tied it back without using a tie. Which can only mean that in addition to being luxurious and fierce, her hair is also magical. *sigh* Red heads... I almost miss being one. But then I realized, who am I kidding? I am a brunette. I just need to accept that. <br /><br /><br /><i>"...I remember because of the fires that leapt <br />From the caves of the things that have not happened yet <br />When I think of it now they smell to me quite sinister <br /><br />I want to go back and die at the drive in <br />Die before strangers can say <br />I hate the rain <br />I hate the rain</i><br />Red Tide - Neko Case<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I've decided to give up on trying to keep my gallery organized. <br /><br />I'm starting school in a month, I could not be more excited about that. I am finally in pursuit something that I want. I will be studying photography fulltime through the Academy of Art University in San Francisco. For the time being, all my classes can be done online (I could get a Master's degree online if I wanted to...), but eventually we might move up to the bay area to be closer... Networking, supply closets, full size studios for me to use when I need them... *drool*<br /><br />My husband bought me Mamma Mia! on Blu-ray... IMA GO WATCH IT.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Where have I been these last nearly two months...?<br /><br />I went to Hawaii last month and got married to the man of my dreams. ...Then we came home and had our reception, which I think I'm still recovering from. And other than all that, I've just been working and trying to get my apartment ready for the party I'm having this weekend for my friends. I'm trying to make it a yearly thing, a couple weeks before Thanksgiving, having some people over for our own version of Thanksgiving. It's fun, too... Drinks, video games, and turkey... good times. <br /><br />I just got a new version of Photoshop, and sometime soon I'm going to get out and take some pictures and actually try out CS3. ...Or at least that's what I tell myself. <br /><br />Poot.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I read the Twilight series last week. Including the 12 chapters of Midnight Sun on Stephenie Meyer's website... I'm completely, hopelessly, ridiculously addicted to it. I don't care if it's young adult and riddled with teen-love angst... I'll probably read through it again, this time slower, but I just couldn't read fast enough. I haven't been that obsessed with a book since Deathly Hallows was released. *le sigh* <br /><br />I've forgotten how much I love to read. Its the best kind of escape from reality right now. Especially because every time I look at the calendar, my breath catches and I start to hyperventilate when I realize October 11th is getting closer and closer. <br /><br />Sigh... I wanna be Alice Cullen. <3<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ It's been over four months since I've had more than two days off in a row, so this last week has been nothing short of a miracle. Ahhh... relaxation. <br /><br />I really hate that I have to go back in two days. I need to stop thinking about that, or I'll obsess. <br /><br />So, ABBA. I saw Mamma Mia by myself when it came out last week and I loved it. I've always kind of liked Abba (what can I say, I'm my mother's daughter... Dancing Queen has been one of my alltime favorite songs since I read Summer Sisters), and of course I love musicals. <3 <br /><br />I have chores to do!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ <i>"...you can live the life you like."</i><br /><br />I just don't think it's in my nature to be a very sweet person. There are just days where all I want to do is speak in my normal voice (instead of that head-tilted-to-the-side, high pitched squeak I invariably employ at work), and tell people, "NO. Get the hell out." Other days, being nice comes somewhat easier. <br /><br />The days I have to force myself to be sweet are more tiring to me than if I'd spent the entire day running laps around the store. I get home from working on those days and I just stop functioning. <br /><br />I'm going to take advantage of having the apartment to myself tomorrow (my day off!!) to watch nothing but musicals. <3 I just bought myself a copy of both Chicago and The Producers. I haven't seen them in a while, yay!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

So should Subway. And Starbucks. To tell a little secret, I've been known to drive all the way into Palmdale to go to the Panda Express near Kohl's, just so that I don't have to get out of the car. It's pathetic, really.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

I just have no strength in my hands... <br /><br />I keep thinking about London... Every once in a while an image or a memory will pop into my head and I'll miss it... I was just thinking about this chippie we went to where Loren had a big slab of fried fish, which was across from this school that very closely resembled Hogwarts. It was some private school still in operation, but it looked to be about 400 years old. And while we were there, a cabbie pulled up across the street and parked in the middle of the lane to get out and get himself some fish at this place. And no one that was driving by seemed to mind, they just drove around. No big deal. <br /><br />I definitely need to go back. <br /><br /><br /><i>"Images of broken light which<br />dance before me like a million eyes<br />That call me on and on across the universe<br />Thoughts meander like a<br />restless wind inside a letter box<br />they tumble blindly as<br />they make their way across the universe<br /><br />Jai guru deva om<br />Nothing's gonna change my world<br />Nothing's gonna change my world</i><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I HATE chain mail. Especially the ones that are supposed to be "patriotic," and are intended to rally support for the war or the president. I've had to tell two of my parents this week to STOP SENDING ME THESE GOD DAMNED EMAILS. It's so irritating. They're never well written, or truthful. The only purpose they serve is to stir up hatred and fear. And there's always the inevitable religious tie-in. One of the emails I received this week concluded by saying, "Only two people have ever offered to die for you: Jesus Christ and an American GI." <br /><br />I wanted to pull my hair out. <br /><br />I've wanted to get a new tattoo for the longest time... Since I got the first one. But I can't decide on a design. Well, last night I was playing around with a couple ideas and I really like what I came up with. I drew it all out and stuff, but now I'm afraid to show it. Because when I finished it, I looked at it and thought, "That is some hippie shit right there." But I think it suits me... <br /><br />I probably shouldn't go on about it because I'm not going to show it.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ While I was waiting for my food at Pick Up Stix in P-Dale... There was this gentleman sitting next to me on the bench there, and he had his daughter with him. She was about the same age as Alex (Tommy's youngest, about a year and a half). She had big bright blue eyes, rosy cheeks and baby blonde hair. She was soooo adorable. And she had one of those leashes that's disguised as a plushie backpack. It was a monkey. Anyways, she was holding the buzzer they use to let you know your food is ready, and this older gentleman walks by and stops and looks at her. And he has that tone that old people use when they're addressing children they don't know. Kinda loud, kinda dumb... And he goes, "Heeeyyy! Whatcha got there??" And the little girl (I think her name was Adeline, at least that's what it sounded like her father called her) looked up at him with her big eyes and passed the buzzer onto her dad's lap. It was just so cute. The guy walks out and the girl points and kind of... just makes noise, but she has this look on her face that was so... "PSH! Check out this muthafucka." <br /><br />Freakin' kids... <br /><br />Isn't there some way to just HAVE a baby? No labor, no pregnancy, just a nice little baby with half my DNA? ...Possibly one that's already potty trained and knows how to speak? ...And will use a litter box? ...Man, I better not ever have children.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ How come no one told me how awesome Netflix is now? We used to have it but we unsubscribed right before they started putting movies and shows on their website for instant viewing. So I re-subscribed. They have SeaQuest for instant viewing!! I'm in nerd heaven. <br /><br />This is possibly the corniest show ever. But I don't care. I loff it.  <br /><br />I was watching it when Loren came home and shot me in the head with the Nerf gun he bought for me. Now he has one and I have one. And we spent an hour sniping at each other from across the apartment. It was the most fun I've had in a long long time.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I've been listening to nonstop Beatles all weekend. I always feel like my taste in music leaves something to be desired because I'm rarely listening to something that's current. I don't really like current music. The whole pop scene just kind of bores me. I mean, they're only regurgitating things that have been done, and were done, much better years before. Anyways... <br /><br />School's in. Meh. <br /><br />I just got a scanner and about a zillion pictures from my mom that I'd never seen before. I'll be uploading them in time... probably into my scraps. Anyways!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

When exactly did we become our parents? <br /><br />On a totally unrelated note, I think I'm craving a new camera. And accessories.  :><br /><br /> ]]></description>

<br />
<br />
<br />
So the girl that leaves her trash out on her doorstep... aka MY doorstep, was taking out a desk and it was making all this terrible noise and I popped my head out of the door to see what the commotion was and she was all apologetic and stuff. So I helped her down the stairs with the desk. She was really nice. <br />
<br />

My 64-year-old stepfather has a MySpace. I'm SO glad that I decided to delete mine. Although I kind of think that, just like in real-life, his presence on the website probably would have offset my mother's fucking nuttiness. <br />
