hopefully and finally...i hope this works... here are some piccies of me with red hair, my trip in austin with megan and smatthews and hanging out with austin the night i dyed my hair...we just sat in my car and talked and were extremely silly. twas awesome
mardi gras mumbo...down in new orleans! tonight!! *c*
some stuff to do...enough time to do it in? maybe.
reprint megan pictores...with paper from the properly marked fiber paper box pack for nola study for various thingies work on kicks- faster- (tho i am getting better! n________________n whee) japan meeting and photographing seusical rehersals hoy
gahhhhhh photobucket wont let me post piccies behind an lj cut! most likely i am doing this work but asdkldkl?!??!?! *c*
my sister keeps stealing my makeup and i have now threatened bodily harm. her excuse is "i ran out of my stuff and you dont want me to look bad..." and then she got mad when i went through her purse that i gave her and took my makeup. i was like...so you borrow my makeup but you take it with you and hold onto it for months....? so in retaliation...i give her shoes and some jackets a better home...in my closet.
im having fun...but its really cold. right now im in the workshop, working in RAW- its a type of digital image you can shoot in and its better to photo fuck with in CS 2 than a normal jpeg cos it allows you to do more. but basically im talking to tyler and he's a cool cat. tyler sez "hello citizens of livejournal." and now you reply, "hello tyler." but i shot environmental portiature before this...that was pretty interesting...we looked at slides of photos (think vanity fair portitrates of famous people) but im tired cos we stayed up last night doing nite photography so i almost passed out during the slide show. but then we got to shoot and i shot some guy putting his face aganist various coke machines cos i made him a "caffine addict"
and this morning it was raining. and i had a digital imaging photo contest. i took 60 pics and sumbited four to ze categories "square", people, abstract and action. hopefully i'll win something. last year i got an honorable mention. but yes. we shall see. and then i had advanced portfolio critiques which went really well...so we shall see n_n
hugs for now. i think we are gonna go eat mothers- vegan resturant. maybe i'll ge some cake but i had some of megan's brownie and leslie's soft serve- so there' s no need to be gluttonous. but yes. maybe i'll do some more shopping...hmm but i dun wanna go broke before mardi gras n_n
photofest.................teen council......work in the contemporary arts musuem of houston if it gets picked....
i have ideas but i'm still not sure. what can i do that hasnt been done before? what shows MY response to violence and my feelings toward it? at the scholastic awards, they told us we were there because the art we did was not cookie cutter or safe. so what i can do that is not a creative step back? maybe i need more time, but i like the idea that have. yet i know...its cool looking and semi shallow- it tells you what it means. but what can i do to show how i feel and have it not be a cliche? i have an idea for earth. earth is a broad topic...i could just do earth but i want to push myself, i want to semi kill myself (kidding, suicide is a no no kids) to do both. i want to understand my response to violence and then i want to translate it into a photograph. maybe its hard b/c there really hasnt been any violence in my life. i have gotten in fist fights with katie...but thats about it. i've been attacked in my dreams but i always put my hands up and step back. nonconfrentational. maybe thats my response. dunno tho. maybe i'll photograph mom and katie and jon and megan. if only i had more time. but i dont. stress does help art...somewhat. still need to meditate on this. maybe cara can help me during lunch...
i feel so vain but i really want my work in the camh. really badly.
some piccies of MUN and going to teh angelika to see mrs. henderson present's! which was quite enjoyable...i went wiht my sissie and we got to see a british comedy bout an old woman (dame judi dench) opening a musical revue with naked girls during WWWII. breasts and blitzkrieg. nice. *c*
MUN- as ze delegate from china and where we held our super big plenary meetings at U of H.
thursday and friday i had model UN. and i was china. which was very very awesome. i had tons of power, am almost a superpower (yah thast right...watch your back US) and it was nice. i exceeded my personal expectaitons of the conference- i co-wrote a resolution, and asked a question. i got involved and it was nice. i wasn't a laid back china and it felt wonderfullllll. yah.i know. im a geek...but i heart MUN.
but friday i caught a cold. and that wasnt so nice. but i hung out wiht alex friday night (we went shopping- it was fun to hang out with her!!) then i came home by 10 and was asleep by 11.
however..on saturday..i was not allowed to go to HKA. which was sad. but i was still "sick." so i had math tutor which i was late for (in my defense i was in montrose at this open market in the backyard of brasil and raye. that was nice. i bought some jewlery) then i took piccies of montana (kt's zombie friend) whcih hopefully will turn out nice. then alex and i hung out. i had a ton of indian food for dinner and austin and i hung out- but no movie cos megan was sick. austin had kinda a bad night in the beginning but it was fun. we ended up hanging out till 1 and my parents had already gone to sleep so i didnt get in trouble. but thats my curfew anyway.
so now my voice is kinda lost BUT IM NOT SICK. i just sound really bad. and sick. and old. anda smoker. but im okies. i had a burrito for late lunch with katie and carolyn. then carolyn and i went shopping. and that was nice. and now im here. just chilling. prolly go see a movie with dad cos he's in town actually for once and then ninja tag...where dunno if i'll play or not. hopefully i will...but depends how cold it is. i may jsut watch. but that i doubt. cos i'll play even if i freeze n________n
so i missed ian and sasha's non superbowl party. i got home and i was like OOOO fuck... lo siento ian!
but anywhoo....yesterday lizzy and i hung out. i took her to the heights and then we had vegan asian food at the pepper tree. twas delicious. and then we talked about eggs being meat or non meat (we say egg is its own category you cant compare it to meat or veggies cos it not either. its not yet meat but tis best to avoid it as much as possible- eggs not the discussion) then she went home. and i went to hang out with austin. which was soooooooo much fun. we just drove around and talked. and avoided the superbowl.
my thoughts on the superbowl... superbowl? fuck superbowl. thats just sick and wrong and no.
so today is the last day of sr. outreach. so far so good. they gave me a unicorn key chain! i felt special. it is currently living with keys. gotta get rid of some of my old key chains now or...else they'll prolly fall out of my igntion area.
so im sad to leave outreach cos i'll miss my kiddies but im more happy to go and get back to my normal schedule. yes it was a wonderful experience and i grew as a person, and i honestly feel for these wonderful kids who really like me (again...dunno why but whatevs) BUT i am glad to go back to what i considered normalacy. tho this was tons of fun (two hour lunch break woohoo..o wait i have that normally)
so yes. o and yesterdas...i went to teh doctor. i is the perfect weight and am advised to not lose anymore, um...my heart is good...i should take a multivitam for calcium but thats bout it. so tha was good. o and i dont have sex, do drugs and i know where babies come from. go me! but i got a shot for menigitis and my arm was sore. ah well shots dont bother me.
then i went to yoga (wasnt so bad with a sore arm). cara was there (my photo teacher) and her super nice boyfriend andrew teaches the class. i had a really good time, i cant wait to go back next thursday. its sorta expensive...but i really want to take it and its worth it- it calms my mind and body while increasing my flexibility and balancing. tis worth it.
OoOo...NINJA TAG....TONIGHT!!!!! and maybe spoon concert tomorrow? meg-chan wanna go conmigo?
today a perfect overcast day... these days are my favorite, its fairly dark out but still light enough to signify day time and the sky is one even deep skark fin gray colour
but i have a doctor's appointment. i hate going even when something is wrong (lke the rilo kiley song lyric) but i need a check up for colleges.
i applied to san francisco art institute last night b/c i received an email from them notifying me that i am a "Creative leader" and if i apply right now (which i did) the application fee adn essay were waived. so i did, now i just have to send in my portfolio....but first i need to add three more pictures. after two weeks...i will find out if im in or not.
san francisco...just a pretty place...i would just get an apartment in chinatown or something and go visit lizzy on long weekends (oregon is extremely close by). that would be really nice...
music: the ac in teh room im in...jealous? why yes count i am.
i need to slowwwwwwwwwwwwwww the fuck down... just in general. i rush too much
/add/ i also have this incredible urge to visit austin (ze city) right now. just go. and go. and then go. cos its fairly close by. and i miss jen. and i thnk i should also seriously visit UT. going to a seminar doesnt count as visiting UT, thats going to a seminar.
i have just started creating my zine. finally. after two years of saying i was gonna make one. tis about time n_n if you cant tell im soo excited that im bouncing.
off buti m stuffed from lunch. just should've had soup, no bread with it >.<. o well. learned my lesson- a cup o soup from empire is nuff to fill mi estomago.
n______________________n *c*
ps. night of the living dead is on at teh river oaks for its midnight movies- friday and saturday night. i am debating about going. tho i prolly wont. o welllllllllz
so ze grounding is pretty much over. and i wasnt really even grounded- i went out and did stuff...i just got home before twelve and didnt spend the night out...
O bought my first foo fighters cd yesterday- the colour and the shape. its quite good n_n
so yesterday around eight, i realized something- i felt really melancholy...but that isn't the perfect word for it. i wasnt apathetic but i felt like i was floating or drifting- not moving forward or backward and i can't place it. maybe its being a 2nd semster sr...but im excited to leave and to move forward, to have life conintue after high school. hehe mike said maybe i fell out of love...no i dont think its that... dunno...it has slightly faded now...but then again, i have been working and unaware of my state of mind. i think im good now. maybe twas just a sunday night funk. but i drove around after picking katie up from her SAT class. it was nice driving on richmond past montrose, midtown and into downtown. i just like driving around that part of town. we talked... it was nice toh some stuff she said i had no desire to hear her say quite honestly but then again...i dont have to agree with anything she says... she's like i work hard and i should be able to relax and smoke the reefer. iw as liek...thats kinda weak katie... but its her desicion and im allowed to butt out now. so yah... whatevs tho. it was nice for me to talk to her and for her to listen. so yes. and am still working on my photo project. i think i am gonna reshoot everyone b/c i want to have at least two good pictures... its alot of work but this will most likely end up being one of my only photo projects this year... hugs *c*
still on sr. outreach. i really like it tho i really dont do much. i grade papers, staple stuff, ect. tho i DID get to help some kids yesterday read and learn math, which was fulfilling...i felt like i was actually doing something as opposed to sitting there adn taking up space... the kids are so cute as well and they are really nice. 2nd grade is a good age b/c they arent babies but they aren't in that smart ass i know everything stage, they still have this wide eyed innocence to them and thats cute. too bad it'll fade with time but thats maturity eh? its weird how fast kids grow up now...and i know that makes me sound old but its true. its disheartening to walk down teh galleria and see 9 year olds wearing makeup and purses, its just sad....what happened to youth?
o... and i may be grounded. and i cant even remeber the last time i was grounded. basically...i was pulling out of my drive way in my mom's convertible and this guy comes speeding down the street towards me in a big white car. he doesnt even slow down and goes right past me (im halfway out of my drive way and i stopped when i saw him) i got mad and flicked him off. (in my defense- normally people SLOW down in a residental area or stop when a car is half way out but he didnt and that scared me...big white car and a convertible...wonder which one would have more damage???) didnt think he could see me, obviously, but he did. so he got out of his car and i rolled down my window. yadada. he was rude, i was rude, he wanted to go inside and talk to my mom who wasnt there which i told him, i give him her cell number which he didnt write down and told him to come back at 8. i then called my mom to tell her and i called my dad. well he never showed up- just my karma- and so now im grounded. first it was for a month, now its for two weeks. katie pointed out that the guy was stupid, that she wouldnt tell on me(you cant really compare what she did this weekend to my small fit of road rage) and that if i hadnt been honest i would not be in truoble. thats the thing, i was honest b/c i felt like i should be... and it totally fucked me over. but i'll stil be honest...b/c i know i should be... anywho, my dad's going out of town for like three weeks. lets see how long my parents remeber that im grounded. i give it two or three days. but im going to argue my "case" in an email to my dad, that being the only upside to him being an ex-lawyer and him wanting me to be a lawyer- i am pretty much allowed to politely state my defense. but who knows...
im just more mad that i lost my temper TWICE yesterday. first with katie when she told me that all of her friends say she shouldnt be talking to me, which made me mad b/c the only reason why she is in a bad mood is b/c she's grounded, not because she did something wrong. so i told her whatever, we're not talking and the only reason why she's mad is because she's the fuck up and im not. and she said she wasn't talking to me. but that lasted five mins cos she had to borrow my rollerblades. nice. and the other time was that mild bit of road rage. gah. i have a temper, a fairly bad one but normally i can control better than this. anger is stupid.and so is getting out of a car to confront another car, cos thats just scary. perhaps i deserve to be grounded but grrrrrrrrr. i follow the rules and the one time i mess up, i get such a servere punishment. hopefully dad will let me debate him on this.
but. who knows?
the upside is that im not grounded from school and tae kwon do. which is very considerate of them. but dad knows i would fight him on the grounded from tkd. or self combust. or something bad.
so many low points...and a few high points i guess. high being daft punk and dancing with cobbs, sandstorm and everyone jumping around...o and shakira.
the low? being smacked in the face by a super drunk girls....drunk people in general...ginny throwing water off the balcony on the crowd, having everyone freak out about their hair and i got water in my eye from that...classy....o and trent...just him in general.
hugs for sarina. dont worry. we shall make him PAY. or something. cos yah...hugs. im sorry you had two forms of leeches that night! at least we danced to shakira like at cotillion....
so...bottom line. im trying to be optimistic and convince my self i had a good time. and at parts i did....but i seriously wish i had ninja tagged. o well....i think i have fixed some problems i had earlier that day so now i can ninja tag until my hearts content.
