275/365 - sleep tonight

Well. Finally a new picture. What has it been like ... 4 days or something ridiculous like that? I don't even know.

I feel defeated by this day. Ready for bed, but I still have a little work to do damn it. lol

274/365 - you live several lives while reading

Yet another outtake, this one from probably about four years ago. I know I am being lame but I just can't help it. Maybe this weekend I will be able to squeeze in some new photos.... But idk. Today was a short school day so I got to come home early and procrastinate my homework, which I know I will be sad about on Sunday. But whatever.

Now I am going to go eat some food of the Mexican variety. Adios!

273/365 - reckless

This is definitely an outtake ... I went to class and then work and then I came home and ate food. I had no time for pictures....damn. 

The end.

272/365 - little talks

Outtake. Another loonng day. Not sure what else to say... O_o

271/365 - quiet and desire

Quick post before bed. Rainy and long day...slept an hour past my alarm and then went to class. Came home, made cookies. Did some homework. The usual. :)

270/365 - the practice of letting go

My later class got cancelled today, so I met mi madre at Target and we did a little shopping for winter clothes (unghasdkljf winter I hate you) and then I got to come home early! I kind of wasted the afternoon being lazy, but that was okay because I actually got caught up on my homework Sunday, and then earlier today. About to go wither away the rest of the day and such. 

269/365 - convince a thousand cats

Random. I've been feeling kind of uninspired lately. Meh. 

It was a strangely productive Sunday, in which I did all the homework, made granola, and various other shenanigans. Now I am sitting here inexplicably watching the Emmys. About to go read and then go to bed....and gear up for another week. :)

268/365 - the proudest trees

Quote from the collected works of Emily Dickinson, which I inexplicably purchased today. I am turning into some weird latte-drinking, poetry-book-buying creature. I am not sure how this makes me feel.

Soooo I worked all morning and then went out for dinner (pizza, yum) with the parents. Now I am sitting here watching Doctor Who and looking forward to a lazy Sunday. :)

267/365 - food and cheer

I kind of have a thing for food photography. There's something almost...therapeutic about it, I don't know. This was my attempt at food photography...not entirely pleased with the results, but eh. It is the best I could do.

Today was alright. I went to class, made cupcakes (as evidenced above), and was generally quite lazy...J came over later and we watched The Princes Bride. AKA my favorite movie of all time ever which she had never seen-- this situation clearly had to be rectified immediately. :p

I have to work tomorrow...and then I will probably spend the rest of the weekend being even more lazy. Oh, and homework. I should probably do some homework in there. Damn. Double damn.

266/365 - read a fairytale

I must be on some sort of photography streak or something....haha. Got my pre-ordered/ signed copy of THE RAVEN BOYS by Maggie Stiefvater in the mail today...very excited to dig into it this evening. Now I am going to go do a bit of homework (even though I feel like doing none at all). 

Currently listening: 

"Theory of Relativity" by Stars...and also the rest of their new album The North because I am going to see them in concert in October with J. Also, why are there so many exciting things happening in October?! Seriously-- I just looked at my calendar and there's so much new music and announcements and events happening in the tenth month. I'm not sure if I can handle it. :P

265/365 - monsters

A new picture that I am actually proud of? A fine end to a rather crappy Wednesday, if I do say so myself. Another long day of classes and homework and such. Looking forward to the weekend already....lol. 

Now I must go finish my !@*#&# philosophy paper and then I'll be done for the night.

Also-- I can't believe that I only have 100 days left in this project.....when I think about that it makes me make this face: (O____O)

264/365 - like morning light

Ugh still no time for new pictures. Still having to use old ones. Oh well. It's making me be more creative I guess, haha. Though I've had this concept floating around my head for a while....

Anyway.

Today was really, really long and tiring, and defeating, and I can't say I'm sad that it's ending.

Here's to a better tomorrow.

Currently listening:

Essentially everything ever recorded by Talain Rayne ever. So good. Just what I was looking for, even though I didn't know what I was looking for at all. <3

263/365 - love love love

Long day. School was meh. This is an old picture.....it rained all day and I didn't feel like taking anything new. I'm really sucking at this project lately, haha.

262/365 - luxury

Boooooooring day. Sat around for most of the morning. Did a wee bit of my homework. Went to Kohl's to use an awesome coupon that expires today. Did some more homework. Now I'm sitting here, feeling burned out. I may go work on my Secret Project until dinner....because there's nothing else I can do without sounding illogical. (Yeah, that's right, I'm talking to YOU philosophy paper).
Dear lord.

261/365 - a kind of library

This turned out better than I was expecting...hmm. Soooo I have tomorrow off work which means I get to work on all the homework I procrastinated over the rest of the weekend. YAY. Not.

I am about to pass out on my keyboard. Goodnight. 

260/365 - ribbon

Inspired by the book that I finished today-- ENSHADOWED by Kelly Creagh.

Just trying something a little different... I'm trying to push myself outside of my comfort zone more with my images...not just composition-wise, but post-process textures-wise as well. With this one I was experimenting a bit more with textures. It's not exactly like I pictured it in my head, but it's pretty gosh darn close. And that's something.

259/365 - inbetweens

Something a little different.......this day feels like it's been going on forever. Blahhhh

258/365 - a violent contradiction

Random thing. Not sure what it means yet. Today was okay...ya. :p I have some homework to do. I best get on that.

Annnd now we're going to try something new on ze blog! I shall share what music I am currently obsessed with/ can't stop listening to/ can't stop singing in my car. Just to make this even more interesting to look back on.

What you need to know is that I acquire music like some people acquire dust. It just accumulates and then suddenly you have 6,000 something songs and you are basically your own radio station. So. Without further ado...

Currently listening: "Parade" by Matchbox Twenty. I haven't even listened to the rest of the album because I'm stuck on this one. I can't stop replaying it.

257/365 - listen

Today was meh. I'm exhausted and have nothing to say again.

256/365 - wasting time

Not too entirely proud of this. Eh. I'm so tired...I still have a lil homework left, but not much thank god. I've been sort of remiss with these little descriptions lately and I just don't know why.

255/365 - a certain slant of light

There's a certain Slant of light,

Winter Afternoons –

That oppresses, like the Heft

Of Cathedral Tunes –

One of my favorite quotes. Of all time. Felt like I was finally ready to pull it out and use it. (O_O) 

I know I've mentioned this before, but...this project is so, so difficult, and yet love it dearly. I am learning so much--not just as a photographer, and an artist, but also as a human. I am learning so much about myself in the process of doing this project. It is a truly incredible experience.

A rather lazy Sunday on the whole...spent the majority of it doing homework. I made an awesome grilled cheese sandwich for dinner. \the life.

254/365 - burning

Boring day.....went to work. Then I went out to dinner with J. :) We chatted for like...3 hours or something ridiculous like that. Now I'm sitting here jacked up on caffeine and sugar from the tea/nectar that I drank with dinner and watching the Late Late show with Craig Ferguson. All in all it was an alright kinda day. I have tomorrow off, which means I have a whole day to do my homework then because I put most of it off all weekend......damn. Double damn. haha. 

253/365 - darkness

Whoaaa something I'm actually halfway proud of. O_o 

School and work today. I go back to work at 10 tomorrow. Today was tiring. I think I kind of maybe have a lot of homework to do, but I can't think about that right now becausezzzzzzzzzzzz

252/365 - suburban war

School is eating my time alive. I have to work most of the weekend. Blargahah. I'm not very interesting today. I'm just in a complaining kind of mood it seems. :p

251/365 - sun-drenched elsewhere

Quick. Outtake.

It was pouring rain when I had to walk to my car after school...I had an umbrella so I decided to just go for it. My umbrella did me no good. By the time I got to my car (I'd forgotten where it was parked) my jeans were soaked from my waist to my feet, my shoes were filled with water, my socks were squelchy, and my hair was a hot damn mess. It was not pretty. My backpack got thoroughly soaked also, so much so that the cash in my wallet was wet. 

On the whole I highly recommend a good soaking. :p

250/365 - where we go from there

Simple. I love the book this quote is from (The Perks of Being a Wallflower) and am revoltingly pleased that it's been converted to movie form. A movie with awesome actors and actresses in in it, no less. Definitely one I will be seeing in the theatre.

Today was borrrinnng. Went to class and then came home. Did some homework. I should probably still be doing my homework. But it's almost time for dinnerrrrr. Yum. :)

249/365 - when it rains

Another rainy day....I'm so ready for fall. It's gotten to that point in summer where it's just too damn hot all the friggin' time. I'm sick of it. Fall is the best. You've got Halloween and awesome weather and pretty leaves...sweaters and cool nights and boots and all that jazz. Fall is kinda my favorite, actually. Except for the part where it involves school. But other than that it's cool.

248/365 - walk away

Not entirely proud of this...but no time left for anything else. Blargh. Holiday tomorrow....so yeah.

247/365 - trap

This feather was stuck in a crack in the driveway....I'm not sure how that happened, exactly. (O_O)

Today was boooorrring. Went to work. Came home. Should be doing my homework. The usual.

Also-- holy hell how is it September already?! I am clearly in denial as I have written August as the date on three things today.
