Tomorrow Starts

The first day of my last year in the place I feel the most secure in, but I'm excited to see what the year will bring.

There is a man.

He's standing right in front of you. He's holding everything you have ever wanted and ever will want. He's offering it to you with his arms in front of himself in your direction. He's tired of holding them all they're terribly heavy. He's waiting for you to look up and take them. Make the move.

Joe Vellella,

the best thing to happen to me since Megan Armentrout.

"I just started noticing people around me who were more liked then others, the people who do things that I was scared of"

"You're not comfortable with insecurity, you seem afraid to challenge it."

Make it happen

My best friend Megan and I have been working on taking our friend, Maranda's, senior photos. Here are some photos of the action.



I think I'm starting to realize that photography is what I want to do with my life more and more. I've never felt so comfortable and natural with any hobby. It's a great feeling. I don't think I've ever been quite as proud of my photos as I am now. Here is a sample..








Also, I am convinced that I should be writing and making music, and plan to try to make this happen.

Late Nights

I've been staying up until four and five in the morning lately. What have I been doing you may ask...lots. I think my creative spirit comes out the most at night. All the the photographs in this post were made last night at ungodly hours, and I'm quite proud of them :) I have been working with lots on the computer. I'm planning to become a more involved creator and artist. I have worked hard to update my DeviantART and Flickr accounts. I have really big dreams and I haven't been working as hard as I should be to achieve them. Almost a week ago I had a phone conversation with my friend Ben and he was talking about how people have dreams but they become stable where they are and talk themselves into believing that their dreams and unachieveable. He furthered it to say that he was sure not everyones dreams always came to be true, and then I got the thought maybe that if a persons dreams did not come true possibly they just didn't want them enough. I want my dreams to come true, and I will do everything in my power to assure that they do. After that, if they still fail to be, then I will rest assured knowing I did all I could. Really though, if you don't give your dreams a good honost try how do you know they won't work?

There are other things that I am doing differntly as well. I want to become closer to the ideal me. I've been practicing piano a lot more, and even scored two new piano books to play out of from my teacher. She also asked me to be in a senior recital, which I am excited about. I'm trying to find something easy enough that I am able to play but somewhat popular. I have also been drawing more and trying to write more on here. I'm reading again too! I finally finished a book, and a big one at that, Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, and then my friends and I all went to the midnight showing of the movie. Now I am about 30 pages into Slaughter House Five by Kurt Vonnegut. It's a very enjoyable read thus far. I think I'll read more when I get done with this post!

I also think I am dating one of the more marvelous men in existance. I feel like he helps and pushes me to achieve the things I want to. He tells me not to spend so much time on the comptuer! I need that! I'm getting off soon, promise! He's well thought out, laid back, and down for anything. He and I are extremely goofy and happy. Despite some slight distubances, I am extremely happy and care-free right now! I only wish to get out of the house more, and plan to do so, even if i'm not doing much of anything outside of the house. I feel like I have matured a lot over the summer with my thoughts, but remained true to the fun immaturity that everyone should have.

Until next time!

Tim Burton Themed Kitchen

I've had in mind that I want a Tim Burton/Nightmare Before Christmas themed kitchen for awhile now, but I find the idea kind of silly and I have no idea why I have it.
Regardless I'm still entertained with the idea and I just found the cutest things that I could use in it!

Best Friend

I haven't seen her in almost a week... but I miss her very much! I can't wait until she is off work! I'm going to visit her tonight. I think I'm even making her a care package of cookies and who knows what else. Blah I just miss her! <3 I want to hear about what is going on in her life and fill her in on mine and be creating memories with her.
