ya lose some :/

Whew, cutting it close tonight! But thanks to my amazing boyfriend, he reminded me that it was almost midnight and I that hadn't made today's entry. How charming is that? You're awesome, babe. :)

I was going to do a lot of walking today so I decided I could leave my camera at home so I wouldn't break it on something. I saw so many great things today, though! I was really upset that I chose today to leave my camera behind. I saw the carcass of a snapper turtle by the sidewalk. Also, an orange and black butterfly. The closer I got to it, the wider it would spread it's wings. As if he was thinking, "I'm really big! I'm really big!" Then later I rediscovered a place that my boyfriend and I had carved our initials into a tree, by chance. a few friends and I were wandering in the woods, and we stumbled upon the area. It was really heartwarming.* And someone had carved a bench out of a tree that had fallen along the path we were on. It was really sweet-looking. I think I might do an "Alice" shoot there with a friend of mine.
Anyway, Since I was stupid and didn't take pictures of any of the cool stuff I saw today, Devin snapped a quick little pose I threw up for the camera instead. Oh well :/

Devin said I needed an updated photo of me. I kinda like it! It's spunky!~ ;P



*As I'm writing this part, I'm listening to a Chopin record I just got, and it's making me really emotional. So, the nostagia's kicking my butt. Wow, this is really good~

yard sale+lemonade+sun=SUMMER

I was out of the house (literally) all day! It was awesome! I woke up at 8am and just got in at 11:30 at night. I sold a few things at my parents yard sale and even got some sun. (Which is kind of a big deal for me.) On the way to a friends house, I bought some lemonade from these kid's lemonade stand. It was pretty good, and it was my first time ever doing that~ So I ended up thinking it was a good idea to take a picture of my mostly empty cup :P But I won't post that picture today. Instead, I snapped a picture of my friend's cigarette case which I drew all over. He liked it. d(^_^)b

Friday, May 14, 2010

So the first day in my quest to inspire others was a success! I brought my camera with me to the diner and our waiter (who we knew from high school) asked me if he could borrow it for a few minutes. He walked off to take pictures of his coworkers! I was so happy to see that he had so much fun doing it!
This was one of the pictures he took.
Everyone hid their faces >.>

We have some really pretty flowers blooming in the garden out front now. I snapped a few pictures. But they're not really anything special.
I went shopping with a friend today. Meaning, I followed her around watching her buy stuff and occasionally giving my 2 cents. Still, I'm glad I got out today.
(At the Old Navy dressing rooms.)

Tonight, I got to enjoy some green tea outside on my porch with a sketchbook watching the rain. It sounds like a nasty storm tonight, I'm so excited! :D I was planning on watching the Smallville season finale tonight but My boyfriend's grandmother had her show to watch and the storm messed with the other TV somehow. Oh well... I'm sure I can catch a rerun.
There's this Alice in Wonderland themed contest on deviantart.com and I'd really like to make an entry! I've asked a friend if she'd like to help and she's so perfect for Alice, it's sick. Hopefully, she'll say yes! :D ~crosses fingers~
