Help! I need your opinions.
It seems as though I'm doing things a little backward. So... I'm thinking about reversing how I'm running this livejournal by making my photo posts public and my more personal written entries friends only. What do you think? I know it's "my journal and I can do what I want" but seriously. I need some input. |

I've said it once, I'll say it again:
If any of you have an opportunity to see Amanda Palmer live in concert - do it.
That is all.
Edit: I found a bunch of clips of the show on youtube. The audio isn't great and it goes without saying that video just can't compare to in-person... but if you want to sneak a peek, here you go.
Next stop: Metric in Baltimore. |

Soon, I am going to see both of these lovely ladies live:
I am so excited, I could just pee.
( Oh, and... ) |

So, while I'm getting my ducks in a row, here's a fun meme I stole from ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) bri_ecrit
RULES-
1. Pick 25 of your favorite movies.
2. Go to IMDB, find a quote from each movie.
3. Post them in a note for everyone to guess.
4. Strike it out when someone guesses correctly, and put who guessed it and the movie.
5. NO GOOGLING/using IMDB search functions or checking my favorite movies on my Facebook!! That's cheating and it ruins the fun.
( Guess! ) |

Noah has gotten a bit bigger since this was taken. Also, I don't know what's going on with his eye...

So, what's been happening with me? Long story short:
Things have gotten heavy at the apartment. My last day at Staples is Saturday and after that, I'll be working full time for Lifetouch at J.C. Penny portraits. I'm booking it back to my mom's house for a while to save money and get an apartment with a girlfriend of mine. I broke up with John. Got into a minor car accident that may or may not have been my fault. (By that I mean, we were both sure we had the green light. So, obviously one of us was mistaken.) My phone was stolen right from under my nose by some shady-looking boys who were hanging out with my roommate while I was gone. Now, I don't have any of those important numbers I was supposed to be calling this morning, nor the e-mail address of the girl I'm supposed to be sending senior portraits to. I have suspended service and filed a police report. The lady I talked to spoke to me like I was dumb and wasting her time. Yay.
And that's really just within the last week. I'll get more into it when I have the time. I'm up to my ass in bullshit. |

Just so you know, I haven't been keeping up with friend entries. My computer time has been dominated by photo editing, which is bordering on ridiculous. Also, the pen to my drawing tablet broke, so it makes things that much more difficult and time-consuming.
BUT, I do have a job interview tomorrow at a portrait studio. It's one of those cheesy department store places, but it's relevant to my interests and the manager has an adorable kid voice over the phone. I'm excited and even bought a new shirt for the occasion. (Well, actually, I just haven't done laundry.)
So, sometime in the near future, I'm going to visit individual journals and catch up. So, expect some belated feedback on your month-old entries. |

Apparently, Noah needs to fatten up. The nurse... or vet, rather?... at the SPCA mentioned how skinny he was when I went to pick him up from being neutered. She asked me what sort of food I give him and how often he eats. Some sort of all natural dry stuff, and he has a constant supply of it. So, he eats when he wants to eat. In hindsight, it was a little embarrassing to have someone at an animal clinic ask me how often I feed my cat in front of a room full of strangers. Or maybe I just took it the wrong way.
Does anyone have a suggestion regarding how I can make him gain a little weight? :(
Did another photoshoot today - I'm way behind with my editing!

New photo post on wordpress.
I feel radically different than I did the last time I wrote down a decent life post. But I'll cover that later. |

So...
- I got hired at Staples, five minutes from my apartment. I considered staying with Subway long enough to test the waters at this new retail job, but decided that it isn't worth it. Gas prices are going back up and I can't afford quite that many half-hour commutes. I mean, it sort of defeats the purpose, you know? So, today, I will officially put in my two-weeks' notice and my subway days will finally be over.
- This means I will have time to do more photo shoots.
- I got a kitten.
- I've been writing little journal entries on my laptop and saving them onto my hard drive. I'll post them sometime... when I stop forgetting things. Also, pictures. I've been sucking big time at keeping up. That will change soon. I hope.
- I hate driving in the city. But you already know that.
- Interesting stories to be told. Later.
- Because if I keep writing, I will be late for work. |

Apparently, I'm having a house warming party tonight, though I haven't formally invited anyone aside from a myspace bulletin. But who reads those? Or even gets on myspace anymore? I guess I'll wing it and hope for the best.
Sunday, I'm going to see a live performance of Chicago. It'll be the first time in a while spending money on something other than food and gas. |

I have a new photo set posted. Take a look, yeah? At this point, it would be pointless and tedious to post everything in two places. I have pictures to post here too, but I've been putting them on the back burner to get portfolio work done. I wish blogger had a cut feature... it would definitely make things a little less cluttered-looking. Anyway, let me know what you think. That was my very first shoot using my studio lights.
Other than that, I have no reason to update. |

Looking for a job in the city is harder than I thought it would be. Very few places are actually hiring. I walked down an entire street full of businesses and only one or two places responded positively. Almost everywhere I went, I received bleak offers of website addresses and applications that they don't need and won't look over. There are a few hopefuls - which perked up an otherwise frustrating afternoon - including an artsy T-Shirt printing store with an employee who looked oddly like Emile Hirsch in Milk and a Sushi Restaurant called Moshi Moshi. Mostly, I just hope that I will be able to walk to work. If there's anything in the world that I hate - it's city driving.
PS - Polite Dance Song by The Bird and the Bee is my favorite song right now. It hits all the right spots. Also, photos soon. I've been slacking... mostly due to the fact that without fail, I forget something crucial (like my camera cords and my hard drive) whenever I'm around the internet...
I have also been trying to get my portfolio together. Although, this becomes difficult when I go through older photos only to be disgusted by how badly I edited them.
I'm sleepy now. I apologize if I've been a bad lj friend. I catch up on updates whenever I can. |

I feel like I am busier now than I have ever been. Ever. My work schedule is insane - in the best way possible. As in, I'm finally getting the hours I need. Also, John and I moved into an apartment together, I have studio lights and I broke them in with none other than the lovely Rachel Dashae. I still have a lot of practicing to do, but my goal is to start doing professional portraiture and it feels more achievable now than it ever did. Mostly, I have my dad to thank for that. He ordered the lights as a gift for me from e-bay.
Ever since I was a kid, he has always been supportive of goals, no matter how far-fetched they may have seemed at the time. Hell, I remember wanting to be an FBI agent at some point (probably the result of an X-Files obsession) and instead of saying it wasn't possible or likely, he told me what kind of schooling I would be looking at in the future. Every time I showed interest in something productive, he wouldn't miss a beat. I will always be thankful for that.
My mother is a little different - though she means well, she sees things a little more pessimistically and won't immediately say, "Go for it." Her views are harshly realistic, but sometimes it's just not an encouraging thing to hear. Truth hurts, as they say. On some level, it's probably a good thing. I have two parents who think on different sides of the spectrum. I'm encouraged through one party, but kept grounded by the other. So, it balances out somehow.
I'm glad to have finally settled on something that I am comfortable with and love doing. Photography is an ever-growing interest for me and it's something that I can never see myself giving up. I'm passionate about it and - being my father's daughter - will learn more from trial and error and hands-on experimentation.
So, in short, I feel good. I have put together a new blog strictly for portrait work. After a brief scan, I decided that this journal is too personal and possibly offensive. Especially when considering hopeful clients would be taking a peek. So, work will be here and personal photos will stay right where they are. I hope you all will keep up with the new journal. I'm not updating regularly just yet. But, check back sometimes. Prease? |
