246/365 - of witherings

I don't really know what this is to be honest. It's just a random concept I invented in, like, five minutes. TGIF, except for the fact that I have to work Saturday and Sunday. Also homework. BUT I get Monday off (Labor Day). Make of that what you will.

Now I'm off to go watch some TV (Sherlock-- woo!) and maybe do some homework? I don't know about that last part. We'll see. :p

245/365 - hands

Whoaaa I actually had time for taking pictures today. The hell? Anyway....today was alright. Went to school, then out to dinner with the parentals. Now I am sitting here procrastinating my homework and being delighted by the fact that I have a four day weekend in the not-so-distant future. (Labor Day-- woo!) I kind of have a metric crap ton of homework to do over said weekend though. Alas. 

244/365 - little time

Today was one of my long days......and thus no time for pictures presented itself. Damn. Today was weird. I don't know why but it just felt weird. 

At least the week is almost ovvvaaaaa. And because I am an English major I am allowed to have creative spelling. SO THERE INTERNET. So there.

243/365 - faith and trust and pixie dust

Went to school again today.....sometimes I feel like a gerbil on a wheel.

Then I went to a book signing with my friend...then we went to Dairy Queen and had blizzards and chatted about various things. Good times. Now I'm wearily contemplating doing my the remnants of my homework and trying to figure out how to survive tomorrow. \the life.

242/365 - hunting my dress

No time for pictures today. Alas.

...and so it begins with school eating my life alive. 

241/365 - wild books

One of the books purchased at the used book sale yesterday....a very interesting little collection of poetry. Found several old newspaper clippings inside of it, also. I've kind of gotten into poetry lately...it's interesting because it takes things that have been described over and over again and describes them in a new and insightful way. Poetry makes me want to be a better writer.

240/365 - she wanted storms

Went to a used book sale today at Locust Grove where we bought I think 7 or 8 books for $10 which = awesome. I found flowers pressed in the copy of The Great Gatsby that we bought....thought that'd be a rather interesting subject for today's photo. :) If not interesting at least...pretty? Lol? Yeah....

Now I am sitting here eating cereal, despite the fact that it is 11 something at night and I should probably be in bed. Which is where I am headed very, very soon. Like, uh, now.

239/365 - lonely

Oldoldold outtake from godknowswhen....busy day. School and work and such.

I wish this quote was really true.

238/365 - enemy or friend

Nostalgia.

About to go eat some chocolate cake and do my homework. The first day of classes was rather uneventful. You know. Nothing new. Same crap different day. etcetcetc. My parking situation, on the other hand, has serious potential for being awesome. Heh.

237/365 - devil's spoke

Last day of summer.... :O Back to school tomorrow. It doesn't feel like the first day of school. Yet. Blaraghaflasdkjflk. 

Soooo I'm not entirely pleased with how this picture came out, but I think it's pretty good regardless. My left arm is a little funky, but otherwise it's pretty close to how it looked in my head. 

236/365 - brightly wound

Today was busy....finally got my hair cut (got my side bangs back-- yay!) and then ran a butt load of errands with mi madre. Annnnnd I don't actually think I have anything else to say. Weird. O___O

235/365 - true alchemists

Random last minute pic...I feel like I've done a lot of bokeh pics, haha. I might be a tad obsessed....hmmmm

So today was kind of lazy and non-productive. Watched some Buffy, read a little more in the never-ending book, baked some cookies, worked out for the first time in almost 2 weeks (good, but ow), etc etc. Basically I was just glad not to be in school yet! lol :p

234/365 - yet

Yet another accident of a photo (see what I did there... with the title and the first word of the post? Yeah...I'm lame).

Anyway....today was a strangely productive Sunday. In no particular order-- I deep-cleaned the bathroom, did laundry, put away clean clothes, straightened my room a bit, made granola, washed 2 cars with my mom, cleaned out my email inbox, and finally installed those pesky software updates on my computer. Why can't I be this productive all the time? haha. Now I am about to go scrub all the car-washing grime  off of my skin and out from under my fingernails (which appear to be black at this time). Then I am going to eat a delicious dinner of Mexican food, and enjoy the latest episode of Big Brother (mah fav trashy TV show ever). And then I will probably pass out. \exhausting.

233/365 - loving two people

Holy. Hell.

Went to the state fair this morning, and then went to work. Just got home about an hour ago. I. Am. So. Tired. haha. Sooo this photo is from the fair..an unexpected accident of a picture that happened to catch the windows in the goat exhibit in a rather interesting way. :)

And now I bid you goodnight, strange marmosets.

232/365 - the same world

Old pic. Busy day. Work tomorrow and then the week off until Thursday, when I have to go back to SCHOOL. What fresh hell?! Blarghaslfkldj.

231/365 - becoming a memory

Today was rather a non event. I haven't done anything of note...yet. Pretty much I just woke up and was lazy and then went to work. Now I am home and being even more lazy. So yeah.

230/365 - this won't end quietly

Strangely simple.

Had a lazy morning in which I did a grand amount of NOTHING. Then I went to visit my friend who's had ankle surgery (eep). I took this picture on her street...she lives in the boondocks (clearly). Came home after visiting. Made a delicious sandwich of peanut butter and jelly, ate it, and now I am sitting here feeling defeated by my day. I have to go back to work tomorrow. I'll leave now before I use anymore (parentheses). 

229/365 - there is a space

I'm slightly more proud of this one than I was yesterday's photo. Anyway. Today was alright...only I'm just really, really tired right now and unable to do anything but sit here and watch shark week. haha.

228/365 - lie to me

Not particularly proud of this, but it's better than skipping a day right? Twas a rainy day filled with much laziness. Also, it seems that I've memorized my favorite recipe for chocolate chip cookies. So there's that. Tomorrow should be kinda busy, but hopefully I'll find time to squeeze in a half-decent photo in there somewhere. Hmmmmm

227/365 - dark & light

I got so freakin' dizzy taking this pic, haha. Just messing around with some hair-flip shots....the usual. The first part of today was kind of crappy. Work was meh, and then I came home with a bad mood. BUT after some cookie dough and hair flipping and good music and the promise of therapeutic (read: cheese-covered) food and trashy TV in the future....I'm feeling like this day is probably going to end on an alright note. :) 

I have a busy week coming up so I might be sparse with the photos....we shall see!

226/365 - wasting

Ahhh today has been crazy-pants. First dropped off my brother at driving school with my mom, then we went to the grandparent's farm to pick beans and corn from the garden. We had lunch and snapped beans and other such shenanigans. Then my mom and I picked my brother up, then we came home. I got ready for work. Now I am about to go to work...I work until close, which means I won't be home until about 11:30. See? I told you. Crazy-pants.

225/365 - breathe

Just a quick, random concept that I invented while I was driving one day. It's kinda lame. In other news, I seem to have lost my memory card somewhere. About to go turn the house upside down and find it because the backup one I have is a POS and only holds 4 pictures. FUN TIMES TONIGHT OMGZ.

224/365 - saving & loving

Oldoldold outtake because I didn't have time for a photo today. Argh. About to watch some trashy TV (Big Brother) and read and work on Secret Projects before going to bed. :)

223/365 - my windows ache

I found this quote completely on accident while browsing through Goodreads quotes and was all: omgomgomgcannothandle. I mean, how awesome is that comparison??!?! HOW FREAKING AWESOME. My next reaction, upon reading the quote several times over, was something like: adfadghsad;lkfjasdlkfjinarticulateshrillnoises. So yeah.

Today was kind of awesome. Sat around doing not a lot of anything...I watched some Buffy, continued to learn how to do fingerpicking on my guitar, and then went to the farm to help my grandma bake cookies and also go for a swim. 

I'm glad I have about a week and half sans school before I start full time again....am planning on being properly lazy for that week and half. :)

222/365 - the universe will open doors

My hair is  *almost* long enough to braid again. So there's that. Also, this photo is crap. Also, also, I think I figured out what I want to do with the frothy dress. It involves a step ladder, a field, and maybe some awesome shoes. The end.

221/365 - keep breaking

Just a little something different for today. :) I know it isn't perfect, but eh whatever. It doesn't need to be.

Also, I discovered that my mom has this big/ fluffy/ frothy dress she wore to a dance when she was younger and I am planning Things. I have some concepts I might shoot with it. Mwahahaha.

Soooo today was OK. Turned in paper #2, so all I have left is the test. I got As on both papers. So there's that.

220/365 - secret circle

Sometimes I get sad that The Secret Circle got cancelled, because I think it really could've grown and improved in future seasons. And, yes, I should totally be doing my homework instead of sitting here waxing about some show that used to be on the CW.

219/365 - one wild

I am proving to be a very easily distracted creature this morning. That does not bode well as I have to fit all the progress I am going to make on my homework in before 3, which is when I have to start getting ready to go to work, and then I have to actually be at work at 4 and I won't be home until at least 11:30 because I have to work till close today. EFF.

218/365 - born to

Still not sure how I produced a halfway decent photo today since I've spent every waking hour either at work or at home working on the metric crap-ton (highly technical term) of homework I have to do. Through some bizarre miracle, I actually made progress today. I KNOW RIGHT. My brain is now filled with something resembling day-old leftover oatmeal...something gelatinous and sticky and a little bland. My musical selections of the evening accurately portray my descent into madness caused by all this work...I've gone from Lady GaGa, to the Chronicles of Narnia Soundtrack, and just about everywhere in between. I feel pulled in so many directions. I have so many voices in my head, but only the quietest ones are my own.

218/365 - blue like you

I think the quality of tonight's work should accurately reflect how incredibly stressed out I am right now. Let's call it...a combo of a creepy/ dystopian/ post-apocalyptic/ Lost kinda feel. That sounds good.

I can't remember if I mentioned or not, but I have an 8 page paper, a 4 page paper, and a test, all due on Tuesday. Well, actually, the 8 pager is due on Monday, technically, but it's all semantics when it comes down to hours like that. But still. What kind of tomfoolery is this?! 

217/365 - hue to hold

This turned out slightly more cliche than I anticipated...hmm. But alas it is now too late for something else, and I'm in love with these colors, so hey...let's just GO WITH IT. Also, I am tired.
