142/365 - love & warfare

Very pleased with how this turned out! It's much nicer than I pictured it in my head, which is always good. :)

Hummm sooo second final down, three more to go. I only have to study for two of them though because one is English and I have a 100% in that class. So, uh...yeah.  

I'm submitting a job application to Barnes and Noble tomorrow...Finger crossed that this one actually pans out! If not, maybe I'll just take my guitar downtown and play Liz Phair songs for spare change. Or I could just, you know, keep looking for a real job like a Normal Person. In any case I am hoping to be employed somehow this summer... :P

141/365 - invitation

I'm actually kind of in love with this. So yeah. :p

Fell off the study bandwagon today. Alas! Alack! I must get back on it now, because I've been messing about all day doing very little work...so it is back to the salt mines for me, I'm afraid. My first final is Monday morning at 8:15, which means I have to get up at some unholy hour (most likely before the sun) because I have to drive a half hour or so to get to school. BALLS ALMIGHTY. I will need copious amounts of caffeine to get me through that.

140/365 - violent delights

I FORGOT yesterday's picture. Oh well. What can I say? Finals are eating mah brain, y'all. Tis true. I woke up in the middle of the night and was like: "OH $&*! I FORGOT TO TAKE A PICTURE TODAY!!! @#*@ &!*#"

Back to my cave of flashcards I go.

139/365 - between shadow and soul

From an old shoot. I feel like poo today and, as such, there will be no photo today. In other news, I love that quote like whoa. 

138/365 - shake it out

Heh....This actually turned out a lot more interestingly than I was anticipating. Well, I've been sufficiently AWKWARD for the day (I don't even want to talk about it) so I'm going to go put on some stretchy pants and avoid my homework again. I am now OUT OF THE HUMOR to do anything resembling real work, but alas, I have a $h!t ton of work to do for finals. And, unfortunately, I haven't found a way to make my homework complete itself (yet).

...and I think that's enough caps for one day.

137/365 - king laugh

I think this creepy alligator head thing is real...but I don't know for sure. It's been sitting on my brother's bookshelves in his room for years and I've always thought it would make a cool/ creepy photo. Because cool/ creepy is clearly mah thing. 

Hmm. So I still have an ass load of homework to do, but I've now reached the Procrastination stage of the Seven Stages of Homework Grief...which means I'm probably going to go bake some muffins instead of, you know, actually doing work. WINNING.

136/365 - peacock & stars

Old pic + film + typewritten words + peacock = a piece that I am actually finally proud of. :p I've become increasingly scatterbrained thanks to all the work I have to do to prepare for finals next week...my head is just an explosion of glitter, chocolate, words and study guides. Es no bueno. I'm off to go eat some guacamole and procrastinate. Adios! 

135/365 - what should i be?

This sucks. I'm tired. Back to homework. EFF.

134/365 - possibility

Shot in black and white-- a function I've actually never used on my camera. And I've had that thing for like four years. Sweet god. Well, anydamnway, I'm pleased with how this one came out, even if I'm not entirely sure what my left arm is doing??? Hmmm... Also, it was cold as balls outside today, and I almost stepped in dog crap taking this pic. So...yeah.

Today has been strangely productive....I have a sh!t-ton of homework to do as finals are about two weeks away. GACK. I should probably get off blogger and try to get more work done....yeah. :P

133/265 - beauty & terror

132/365 - all the same

Because my 365 would not be complete without a lame, myspace-worthy mirror shot. Very fitting because I feel lazy today.  :P

So...FINALS LOOM. I am now knee deep in papers and study guides which is probably the cause of my malaise. ARCKGAHG.

131/365 - invincible summer

Oh hey there Internets. I have a metric butt-load of homework that I should probably be doing... but INTERNETKITTENSCHOCOLATE. Uh, yeah.

So today my legs were the most normal looking part of my body. My hair was positively heinous (I'm starting to suspect that it has a very interesting nightlife I don't know about) so I devised this shot! I'm actually rather pleased with how it came out...I didn't have high hopes for it haha. :p

130/365 - marching bands of manhattan

This is eh. Death Cab for Cutie kinda day. :P  

129/365 - morning & afternoon

I hated my alarm this morning. I think I kinda like this photo and I'm not sure why...? Oh well.

Finished my theology paper! WOO! So now I get to go write ANOTHER paper, this one about mountaintop removal. FUN TIMES.

128/365 - shiver

I actually took this picture a few months ago, but I'm not particularly in the mood to take any new photos today so this is how it shall be. BLEH.

Been having a rather lazy Sunday...still working on that stupid Theology paper. I'm nearly done-- just have to do a few revisions and I'll be good to go. I just want this semester to be overrrrrr. :p

127/365 - perched in the soul

I'm actually kinda in love with this and it took me all of 25 minutes to shoot/edit/put together. hehe

Soooo today was lazy and rainy. Went out to lunch with one of my best friends and worked on a paper I have to write for my theology class. About to go watch the rest of Downton Abbey Season 2 (I am SO obsessed with this show I can't even...) and procrastinate finishing that paper. Seriously, though, if you haven't watched Downton Abbey, drop whatever you are doing right now and WATCH IT. You will not be disappointed. <3

126/365 - dusty eyes

Been experimenting a little more with layer masks....Hmmm...

So let's talk for a moment about how I was running around barefoot in the woods behind my house with all the spiders (I saw like 5 or 6 different ones and they were all GIANT) and the pointy sticks to get this shot. Uhm, yeah. Good times. But I'm pretty happy with how this shot came out overall so I'm not complaining! A little pain & suffering every now & then for my art is good for me. ;)

125/365 - our own devil

I don't even know anymore.

Is it the weekend yet?? Pls??

124/365 - eat eather

First attempt at levitation...Pretty pleased with how it came out overall, just a few snags I can see how to fix next time. Oh, yeah. I'm totally trying this again. It definitely made me brush up on my photoshop skills. :)

Today was okay...just another day, same old same old blahblahblah. Nothing too interesting or traumatizing to report. I have several "long term" assignments due at the time of finals that I should probably be working on since I don't have any little stuff to do school-wise. But UNGHAHFG I don't wanna. This lack of motivation is really quite pitiful. But I'm afraid there's nothing to be done except to smack myself in the face and GET SH!T DONE, YO.

Oh, dear god, I'm really losing my mind. xD

123/365 - wander & glitter

I get in this photography slash crazy art making zone sometimes when I'm taking pictures. That happened to day. I didn't realize I was FREEZING MY ARSE OFF until I got back inside because I was so into getting this shot right and whatnot. I love that feeling, when I get so into my art or whatever project it is I'm doing I can't see out, I can only see in the moment. It's perfect bliss.

Anywho. Today was a special kind of hell-- first day back after 5 days off. I now have: A splitting headache, a slightly bad mood (though my love of the above pic is helping ease that a little), and a serious lack of motivation to do my homework. I'll probably end up reading instead of, you know, actually doing the homework. EFF.

I have lately had the productivity level of a house cat: sporadic fits of energy dispersed within long stretches of lethargy. It's quite pathetic really, but I attribute it to the end-of-the-semester feeling I always get wherein I cease to give a sh!t about anything. Yes, folks, I turn into a honey badger at the end of every college semester, right around finals time. It's true. Sad, but true. 

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go honey badger it up and procrastinate my homework like a motha. Later, alligators.

122/365 - you may lose

Pretty summer colors...If only it was *actually* summer. Unghhh. This is another quote by C.S. Lewis, AKA my dead author boyfriend. :p

Boring day. Last day of Easter Break. I didn't do any homework for five days which is bad. I probably should've done something. Hmmm. Oh well. Finals aren't too far around the corner! Will be v. happy to be done with this semester. I have several interesting classes to look forward to in the fall but school is still school. I'll end up hating what I've done to myself course-load wise come October/November, haha.

I have a lot of friggin' paperwork to do this week to get my summer school plans ironed out. College = paperwork. Basically.

121/365 - sock feet

This is admittedly quite lame. Off to go celebrate Chocolate Egg Day with my family...see ya, interwebs.

120/365 - poetry & expression

I photoshopped me some veins. I shouldn't have had to because I'm paler than Voldemort's left butt cheek, but  I thought they looked kinda cool this way. Whatevs. Nobody cares anyway I'm just RAMBLING. Surprise, surprise.

I've had Lady Gaga's Lovegame stuck in my head all. freaking. day. I can't stop silently reciting the lyrics. Nor can I stop singing it. This is becoming a problem. For example, as I was making a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for dinner I was all: "DO YOU WANT LOVE DO YOU WANT FAME ARE YOU IN THE GAME."

My family is concerned. The dog is hiding under the table. My brain hurts from singing that song so much.

And I'm pretty sure I know all the words now.

119/365 - somebody that i used to know

Look at that BOKEH. Sh!t like that makes me stupidly happy and I have no idea why. YEAH BOKEH.

Anywho. Ummm so today was kinda boring. Ran errands with my mom and went out to lunch with her & my grandma. Now I'm back home and reading and making art and being lazy. I didn't work out today and I felt guilty, but then remembered that I walked up and down literally every aisle of Lowe's today so I'm probably good. :p

118/365 - understanding nature

This tasted really bad. You know, just FYI.

Anywho. I'm officially on Easter Break until Tuesday! Wooooot! Will try and take decent pics during mah break. :)

117/365 - happiness & joy

C.S. Lewis is my dead author boyfriend. (Because that's totally NOT creepy or anything). :p

116/365 - happiness & letting go

I hate shaving my legs. 

I always end up looking like I've been attacked by rabid, bloodthirsty possums when it's all said and done. Unfortunately, women having hairless legs is one societal norm that I actually agree with and so it goes that I must grapple with the disturbing task of hair removal. 

I am fundamentally against Nair (because not only does it remove hair, but also the first layer of skin) and laser removal seems like some vaguely Star Trek-ish form of torture. So that leaves razors.

I am a known danger with sharp and/or pointy objects. I sliced my finger open once while making guacamole and had to have 3 stitches, sewn in by a man who looked sort of like Steve Martin in Baby Mama, pony tail and all. (Seriously, guys, I can't make this stuff up). So it should come as no surprise that me + a razor = bloody disaster. As evidenced above, there is always carnage when I shave my legs. And regardless of the blood gore...there will ALWAYS be one strip of hair that I've missed. I've just gotten used to the whole thing now. I've accepted that I will never be good at shaving my legs and moved on.

And that concludes this week's segment of TMI. Tune in next week when I will discuss my chronic dry skin!

115/365 - lost & found

Must finish English paper. Even though we got to choose our topics this go round and I am completely enamored with mine (nonrealistic fiction)...I've somehow gotten myself stuck. So I should probably get off blogger and go fix my damn paper. Blarrrghghhhh. 

114/365 - blue

Not particularly proud of this. However, I have no time for anything better. Still buried beneath a mountain of homework & I have a headache. :(
