Just Photos (That Rock)

Facebook-Esque Note

Rules: 1. Respond. 2. Tag 4 other people.

1. What is your current obsession? dressing up to go to the movies, i guess. We all dressed up again just for the sake of it. Good days! Nights, I guess, actually.


2. What is your weirdest obsession? I once obsessed about Cillian Murphy. He played The Scarecrow in Batman Begins. I'm glad that obsession is over with.

3. Recall a fond childhood memory? Jumping on the bed with my brother Courtland while my dad sang us the song he wrote, "Banana Cream Pie", and laughing and yelling and having a good time when we lived in Duntroon.

4. What’s for dinner? Pasta

5. What would you eat for your last meal? The cashew dish from the Thai place.


6. What’s the last thing you bought? my dress!

7. What are you listening to right now? Silverware clanging in the kitchen

8. What do you think of the person who tagged you? Well, I don't really know her, but she seems pretty cool. Plus, she tagged me, so that was ultimately fabulous of her. I plan on knowing her better via blogginess.

9. If you could have a house totally paid for, fully furnished, anywhere in the world, where would it be? Scotland.

10. If you could go anywhere in the world for the next hour, where would you go? In a sunny meadow with yellow flowers

17. If you had $100 now, what would you spend it on? Clothes and skin care stuff.

18. Describe your personal style? Some things are trendy, but unique. I like to wear layers and focus on one colour group. In winter, I wear all monotonous greys/blacks/whites/browns and some dark reds, and in summer I focus on one colour (this year it's blue!). I like to accentuate my waist, but I also like the droopy look. I'm way into sweaters and warm things, like scarves and mittens and hats. Which is why in summer my style sort of drifts away a little bit.

24. Do you collect anything? Not in particular.

25. Any advice from bitter experience? Not really. If you're ever getting your blood taken, don't think about the pain of the needle. It really doesn't hurt that much. I mean, those experiences aren't really bitter, but they still sucked. I'm used to it now.


26. What makes you follow a blog? Interesting content, arty content, good photography, knowing the person writing it.

We went to the movies dressed up tonight. It was gooooooood stuff. We saw Public Enemies, and it was pretty good. Nothing spectacular. Plus, having Christian Bale and Johnny Depp in the same movie, rivaling each other no less, was sort of distracting.
I'm sleepy, but tomorrow I shall do kickboxing and feel awesome. Good night world, hope you sleep well on this hemisphere. Good morning I guess, to the other side.

Not mine. Tsk.

Well, so far my Project 365 is failing. It's only been one day!
What happened is this: I was seeing no picture opportunities anywhere, not that I was really looking, and my plans changed from Mugs to the girls, so I figured I would get some good pictures taken then. I brought my camera on a fabulous escapade to the bowling alley (more on this later), and i was searching though my bag for something, and I gave my camera to Alexandria to hold. Sensibly, she felt inspired to be the photographer for a while, so she took some pictures which are above. (The last one is my new dress! But it's with tights because it was chilly.) They are good and reasonable pictures. Then she gave it back to me, and we went down this road where there was a picture opportunity that had been calling my name since early June, and I was so excited to take it! I stopped to grab my camera out of my bag again and held it up and focused it and whatnot (it was sneakers hanging over a telephone wire, like they do in the movie Big Fish, which is awesome) and then my BATTERIES DIED ON THE SCENE. Again! Ar, it was so frustrating. I was like nooooooo, that was supposed to be my first of 365 pictures! The lighting was really good too, with the sun on the verge of setting like that in the very early evening, and it went away. So I GUESS I'll have to move my first picture day to today, which sucks. My project failed before it even started. Actually, because it never even started. Anyway, better luck today. My batteries are charging right now.
We went bowling, as mentioned, which always makes me feel sort of loserish, but it was fun. Alexandria, Katelyn and I were all neck and neck (and neck) the whole game, and Burma was in last the whole time, and then on our last throw we all tied for first except Burma! It was weird and fun and we laughed and enjoyed ourselves. Then we went and got fat by stopping at Subway and Dairy Queen on the way home, and we had a little adventure later on which I won't go into details about. It was a good night!
There was something else
Oh yeah, I have a job interview today! Finally! WOOT. Money shall be in my bank account soon enough! Because I worked at Pepi's but Mike is having bad business so he only wants me for shows, which isn't a very secure job, so I'm going to do Elvis Fest for him and some other show in Creemore, and that will earn me lots of money in addition to the job I'm being interviewed for today that I pretty much have in the bag. Alexandria recently got hired there, so we will probably be working together, which is fabulous.
Toodles!
I will have a picture today!

CAPITAL LETTERS NECESSITATED

Today I had breakfast made for me. Ah, the magic of having an uncle visiting. Of course, I don't usually eat breakfast, so I didn't really eat very much and I feel too full and sort of gross because of it, but it was a nice gesture. So far today I woke up very tired after having slept on the couch, ate half my breakfast, took a shower and read some of Fitness magazine. Mugs is coming over later I believe, so I will probably take pictures soon. I mention pictures because today is the start of my journey into Project 365, so hopefully I don't fail at this long-term project like I do so many others (see Chloé's comment on my Rose post).
I don't believe I ever mentioned this on here, but I wrote a brief storyline for my own graphic novel (my own meaning independent of the Chloé-Callie sister-y teamwork-y graphic novel), and it's very depressing. The story, I mean. I drew some sketches for it and started writing a eulogy-type thing for one part of it, but I haven't worked on it in over a month, so there is more evidence of my inability to commit to things. It's not like I don't want to, I just feel more motivated by things when there is money involved, which is awful, I know. Also, I will be able to commit to these sorts of things better when I'm not in school, or at least not living at home, because if there is a mess I will not be commanded to clean it up and therefore be yanked out of The Zone and into Reality. Which sucks.
Recently I have been so out of The Zone it's inhuman. For me, anyway. I pick up a sketchbook and stare at the blank page for up to half an hour, wishing something would want to be drawn. I'll draw a line and hope it inspires me, but it just ends up getting erased. I just can't do anything! Arg, it's so annoying!
KNOW WHAT ELSE IS ANNOYING.
This post was so RUDELY interrupted by my stupid computer that decided to shut itself off without warning in order to restart itself and configure updates, which can take an hour, and it DID. I was in the middle of a post, and I don't remember what else I was going to say because I started it at a completely different time of day! The stupid computer also interrupted two conversations I was having and made me seem like a jerk who leaves conversations for no reason without even saying so long. Now I'm here again, with a completely different train of thought that I wish I didn't have to think because that means that I must have had to experience the idiocy of this stupid computer that I want to STRANGLE.
And Mugs hasn't talked to me either, so this day is proving to be REALLY BORING AND SUCKY so far.
PLUS my pants smell BAD for some reason and I don't know WHY and I wish they DIDN'T and it SUCKS.
