Shower song

This is my favorite song to sing along to in the shower.

Photography

I did it. Went out today. Woot me. Only was out for an hour, but I guess it was worth it. Didn't go film though. Digital so I could photoshop them.
Bite me.

I am still the worst blogger ever. Twitter and facebook and every other social media possible just seems better to me than blogging because I only have a certain number of characters to put and I don't have to talk about how I feel.

However, I don't want to just let everyone know how I feel sometimes. And that's when this blog is perfect. Hardly anyone follows me and I can say pretty much what I want since I figure those of you who follow this hardly even read it. Can't blame you, since I never post.

Anyway. I have four rolls of film that I need to develop. I am currently filling out my order for for Clark Color Labs but I am also dreading getting these pictures back. There was a time when I would get really excited and count the days until I would be getting my pictures back. I should be excited for these pictures. I do not remember what the pictures are of, and I can't wait to see what I was doing about 6 months ago in my film life.

But. I am not sure if I want to see pictures from my life 6 months ago. Everything seems so different now and I'm not sure how I feel about it. I haven't been picture-taking in the longest time. I tell myself I have no time. Lame excuse. I am making a blog-promise to myself that next time I go picture taking (hopefully this weekend) I will bring my FILM camera and work it. It's just so hard to make myself go out picture-taking when there's no one to accompany me. I just listen to my music and what not, but it's just a different feel altogether.

I guess everything has a different feel these days. What can I expect.

Sorry for the lame emo post. Maybe I'll try to post something better next time. In the meantime, enjoy a song from The Kooks. I am currently in love with them and planning to go see them at the House of Blues in November. EXCITED!!



P.S. Just found out Clark raised their prices and now it's going to cost me $20 to develop my film. Ouch...my purse strings!

It's all good until somebody catches a feeling...

and I'm feeling again.

I can't stop hitting myself over the head. I do my best to keep up with the dead.

Disconcerting

Okay, second post in the same day. But I'm making up for months of nothing!

Have you ever read something that made you feel a little uneasy? Or maybe just question why?

Today I made chocolate chip cookies, yay! On the bag of chocolate chips, it said "All Natural" in big bold letters on the front of the package.

So, why is it so important that we tell people that this bag of chocolate chips is all natural? I always assumed there was nothing unnatural in my chocolate chips, no matter what the brand. Now should I go around looking at my chocolate chip ingredients looking for unnatural aspects of chocolate? I know many a chocolate lover who would say that chocolate is perfect the way it is and nothing needs to be added.

So the question remains: why is "all natural" a selling point for chocolate chips?

Upgrade!

Today I got a new car. It's red. More importantly, I no longer will be able to drive my old blue car. I'm going to miss it so much. Goobye blue car. =(

My new car is definitely an upgrade from the old one, but the old one will always have a special place in my heart as my first car. It lasted me a long time considering it was a gift given to me as a gift and I only had to pay for the upkeep. This is a short blog just in remembrance of my old car.

Now it's time to go bake cookies! I think I'm going to put walnuts and chocolate chips in them.

Womp womp old car. I shed a tear for you and the fact that you are going to be junked for scrap metal. Hopefully you are worth a lot so I can use you to pay for my new red car.

Orange Scent

Well, it's officially been 4 months since I last blogged. Yup. Who has two thumbs and is the worst blogger ever? This girl!

Anyway, hopefully now I'll be free to blog to little heart's desire since classes are over and I am still stuck in lovely Boston for two more torturous weeks. It's not that I don't like Boston, it's just that I like home better.

Anyway, since I don't expect the world to revolve around me (even though it should attempt to), my dad has moved almost all of my possessions out of my room and I am currently living out of two suitcases. Yippee! So I am living a very minimalist life for right now. It's kind of boring, but hopefully once work starts and the weather gets a little nicer, I will enjoy my time here more. Thankfully my room isn't totally empty, since BU is so kind to give me a very nice quality couch and coffee table and my residents were so kind as to do the exact opposite of what I told them and put a chair in the hallway, which I have added to my room's furnishings. I would take a picture of my room, but I even packed up my digital camera and am only left with my film camera. By the time that film is finished, developed, and up online, I will be home.

I have moved all my furnishings to the front half of my room in attempts to make my room seem half as small as it is, so it feels a little less empty. I also intensely cleaned my room. I eventually will figure a way to organize my clothing so it's not just bulging out of the two suitcases I have. Eventually...

Anyways, what I have left is: 1 1/2 suitcases of clothes/shoes, my computer, furniture (a bed with a fitted sheet, 1 blanket, and a borrowed pillow, a coffee table, a couch, a desk, and chairs) 2 bikes (Magaly's and mine), my backpack, bath and cosmetic supplies, cleaning supplies, my on-call phone, an air freshener, film camera, reusable water bottle, and...

the two most important things:
1. my Nintendo DS Lite
2. my cacti

That's all for now, it feels good to write. Now I have to think of something new to listen to so that I don't listen to The Starting Line's Say It Like You Mean It for the 11th time in a row.






Missing home! Also, congratulations Sue for graduating from Rowan University! So proud.
