277/365 - sweep up the wood

Haven't taken any self portraits in a while...not sure why. I used to *hate* taking self portraits...it wasn't that I was "camera shy" or anything (although I was, for a time) I think it was more so that I didn't like what I saw in the finished product. Because that girl didn't look like how I felt. She didn't feel like an accurate representation of myself. I think taking so many self portraits for this project is fascinating. Not only is it a kind of photo diary of what I wore over the past year, or how I fixed my hair and all of that, but I think it is helping me to be more comfortable with who I am, in a strange sort of way.

These are awfully deep thoughts for a Tuesday.

On tap for the rest of the evening: work on an essay, eat dinner, and then go to a concert with J. For some reason I suspect I will not like Wednesday morning...

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

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. 

165/365 - as i walked out one evening

My new favorite poem because it makes me feel ALL the things. A random accident picture I found on my memory card that has some admittedly awesome bokeh going on in the top left corner there. 

SO. I pretty much took the day off...I read an entire book (almost, I have like 50 pages left which I shall finish soon) and made banana bread and was generally very lazy. Having free time is strange after having none at all for a very long time.

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.
