Guess who's back? Back again

It might be me!
I'm not sure yet, haha.
I miss blogging, I really do.
And I still have the link to my blog in my hotbar so I see it every day and think, "Hm, I wonder if I should start blogging again?"

So I'm going to try.
I'm not going to make any promises.
But I'm going to try and blog at least once a week.
Hopefully I'll get into the groove of it and maybe blog every day.
(Maybe. I have a pretty boring life. Haha.)

Right now is my finals week.
Tuesday 12/7 I had my Nutrition final at 7:30am and my Design final at 4:30pm.
My Nutrition grade is already up and I got an 85% on the final and 84% in the class. Go me!
I think I got an A on my Design final but I'm not sure yet. And I have to go again on Thursday to finish a project and we're going to have a critique.

Tomorrow 12/9 I have my French II final at 7:30am, History final at 1:30pm, and last Design class at 4:30pm.
And then I am done!
Done until February 28th~




So next year, I am going to try and get the camera of my dreams.


I just need to save up ~$2,500.

So starting next year, hopefully on January 1st, I am going to sew and knit and draw and screenprint and finally open an Etsy shop, like I’ve been saying I want to do for years. 
I am also going to do photoshoots and clean rooms/cars for money. 
I’m going to save every last penny I make, or find on the floor. 
I am going to sell everything I own that I don’t use or need.
I am also going to try and get a real job while doing all of this.
To get enough money for a new camera and lens by the end of the year (December 31st) I need to:
Make $210 a month
Make $50 a week
Make $7 a day

Seems pretty easy. 
But it's probably going to be a lot of work.
And hopefully with me blogging more I might get more followers and readers and I might put a donate button up so people can help me out.
I feel weird asking strangers for money but I neeeeed this camera, omgggg.



Also, I know I never finished updating on my September Challenge so sometime this weekend I'm going to do a photodump of everything I've done while I've been gone.



I really should be studying so I'm going to go.
Just wanted to put something up to let you all know that I'm back~


See you soon! (:

Dear loyal blog readers,

I am so sorry I have been so MIA!
I've been working on my last September Challenge Blog but not with too much enthusiasm.

I don't really have any motivation to blog at all any more.
I've just lost all of my mojo.

If you want me to keep blogging, or at least finish that last September Challenge Blog, please let me know.
It's hard to write a blog week after week with no feedback.



Thank you for reading and following for so long. (:

September Challenge Update

Omfg, long time no seeeeee.
I actually completely forgot I had a blog for awhile, haha.

So anyways, here's a bit of a photo-dump of my latest pictures~





On the 7th I had school so I didn't get to take pictures until I got home from school and by then there was no light and I got really frustrated.
I almost just quit but then I got a picture that I was okay with uploading.
September Challenge Day 7



The 8th I was still feeling pretty uninspired and frustrated so didn't even attempting taking a picture until night time, so once again, I had no light.
But I like this picture and a lot of people on Tumblr seemed to like it quite a bit, too. (:
September Challenge Day 8



The 9th I had school so I couldn't take a picture until night time, again, and was still feeling quite frustrated about photography.
September Challenge Day 9
But I do feel that this is a pretty decent picture.



The 10th was a Friday so I was just lounging around and decided to go up Glendora Mountain Road for some inspiration.
My picture for that day is pretty boring, in my opinion.
September Challenge Day 10
But I did make a pretty cool panorama that day, as well.



The 11th was a Saturday and I felt terrible all day.
That night, I took a couple of pictures and then went out to a party.
So I just uploaded a meh picture to not miss a day.
September Challenge Day 11
The focus could be waaaaaaay better.



On the 12th I still wasn't feeling the best and didn't take a picture until late.
But I think it's good. And I know Michelle likes it A LOT, haha.
September Challenge Day 12
Oh btw, I have a cat now, haha.
And we are mortal enemies.



The 13th was another uninspiring lazy day.
September Challenge Day 13
But you are so jealous I have a Pokedex~~~



The 14th I decided to finally try doing a levitation picture.
And I think I did pretty good for my first try. (:
September Challenge Day 14



And the 15th, yesterday, I did some more levitation pictures.
I did 5 but only have 2 uploaded right now
September Challenge Day 15

And this one is my faaaaavourite~
Backflips




Today, I still have to go to Design: 2D so I'm not going to be able to do my Self Portrait Thursday and my picture for today until tonight.

But I have a few photoshoots coming up soon and am soooo excited for some variation in my photostream.

I hope you enjoyed this little photo-dump. (:



Oh, and you can become a fan of my photography on Facebook now!
Just click here!




Alright, I have to go back to school. ):
See you soon~~~

September Challenge Update

Hello! How are you?
Did you have a good Labor Day weekend?
Mine was pretty coooool~

First, let me show you my Thursday picture.
September Challenge Day 2
I think I did pretty good for it being late at night having no natural light, and I was also super tired.
So yeaaahhh.

I also did my usual Self Portrait Thursday.
Self Portrait Thursday #35

And here's a picture I considered using but didn't end up choosing it.
(he's a pencil sharpener!)



Thursday night, around 2am (technically Friday morning), Tyler got here!
And then we slept, because 2am is late!




On Friday we hung out and chilled.
We got sushi for lunch.
Hence my picture for Friday~
September Challenge Day 3

That night my family, Tyler, and Veronica had dinner at Chopsticks and it was yummy.
Afterwards we went to WalMart to get stuff for my party on Saturday.
Then Tyler went to Smudgepot and my dad, Jessica, Veronica and I went to Michael's to get stuff for Jessica's costume and I got a new sketchbook and some cheap markers~

That night I worked on my costume for Saturday while Tyler was at the game.
Around 11:30ish, he came back and some nerds came over.
I think it was Vance, Greg, Phil, and Danny? Emily? I don't remember. Haha.
And at midnight, it was my birthday and no one said anything.
At one I looked at my phone and I felt like Harry Potter in, I think, the third book, when he realizes it's been his birthday for a whole hour and didn't even notice.
And I was mad that no one else noticed!
So Luna and Kyle brought me a Slurpee and it was pretty coool.



Saturday was my birthdaaaayyyy~~~
I woke up around 10am and went to go work on my costume.
Vance had spent the night so we watched Max Keeble's Big Move while Tyler slept.
I finished my costume between 2 and 3 and it was so bad.
So so so bad. ):
I made the medium size but it was super big.
I put it on and the sleeves went to my elbows and I looked like I had a shrunken head because it was so baggy. ):
So I threw a fit and hid in my room while I tried to figure things out.
Then I had an idea for a whole new costume so I went and bought supplies for that and came back and worked on it furiously.
I also finished Laurren's vest, even though she never ended up using it...



So after that freak out things went a lot more smoothly.

So my costume ended up being an Umbreon.
Which is one of Eevee's evolutions, from Pokemon, duh.
I'm holding my tail so you can't see it that well but whatever, I took it off after an hour or so.

I didn't end up taking that many pictures because I felt lame and also because I didn't want my camera getting broken so yeahhhh.
I got a few of people's awesome costumes, though. (:
Vance as the Flash.

Luna and Kyle as Princess Peach and a Whomp Block.

Veronica as Clank from Ratchet and Clank.

Emily and Marquie as Lara Croft Tomb Raider and Princess Daisy from Mario.

Jessica was Cooking Mama and her costume was sooo goood and I just got this crappy picture of her.
I have some other ones where she is in the background but dang, her costume was good.


The party was pretty fun.
And I'm pretty sure everyone had at least a little bit of fun.
Yes, I did fall asleep pretty early into the party.
I haven't been sleeping well at all since school started and exhaustion finally took hold and I had to sleep right then. I tried to stay awake, tons of people tried to wake me up, but it was impossible.
I don't really care, I don't even like to hang out with that many people so I don't know what I was thinking was gonna happen, haha.
And I wanna say thanks to everyone who got me a gift!
Tyler, Luna and Kyle, Victoria, Veronica Snell, Veronica Campagna, Emily and Marquie, Philip, and Roseanna.
I really hope I'm not forgetting anyone. I'll feel like a real jerk.
Oh, and thanks parents for the party, lol.




I took my picture at the party and didn't want to spend any time editing it, so it's straight out of camera.
September Challenge Day 4

Sunday Tyler and I just slept all day and chilled.
That night my family, Tyler, and I went to Olive Garden for my birthday~~~
We all got Never Ending Pasta Bowl and it was awesome.
I also went to it last year with Michelle where I ate one bowl of soup, nine breadsticks, and two bowls of pasta.
This year, I did not beat my record. :/
I ate 7 breadsticks and two bowls of pasta, and a little bit of a third bowl which I took home.
Disappointing.
Haha.
This makes me want moooore pastaaaa~~~

That night we hung out with Emily, Michelle, Johnny, Greg, Phil, and Danny.
I think Vance came over for a lil bit too.
We all just chilled and laughed and I was hilarious, as usual.
"Hey, remember when Darth Vader drank that Taun-taun blood to be immortal? Oh wait, that was Voldemort with a unicorn in Harry Potter."
And then we watched Pocahontas.

My picture was kind of boring, but whatevs~
September Challenge Day 5

Here's some other pictures I took that day.
Tyler being that girl from American Beauty layin in all da roses~

I feel like I kinda look like Natalie Portman in this one~






Monday was Labor Day so Tyler got to stay another dayyyyy.
Since I just made bank from my birthday, we had a feast at Sushi Umi.
A feast.
When the waitress brought our food she said, "Oh, I thought there were three of you."
Hahahaha.
And we totally took some home, haha.





Later we went to Vons with Jessica and bought Ben & Jerry's~
 September Challenge Day 6
 (my picture for that day)
And we brought some to Emily and Johnny because we're cool like that.
So we hung out with them for a lil bit but then had to leave because they had to eat dinner.
That night Emily, Johnny, Greg, Phil, Danny, and Vance came over and we chilled.



And then Tyler left that night.
It was a sad moment.


Today I had school but it actually went pretty quickly.
And I'm not even that exhausted.
I got around 7 hours of sleep and I think that is the most sleep I've gotten the night before school so far.
And I still need to take my picture for today.
I'll do it pretty soon.
But for now, here's this awes as blog.
See you later~~~

September Challenge - Day 1

Hello~
So today is one of my best friends, Laurren's, birthday!
Omfg!
She's 20. So she's, like, ancient now.

I woke up a little before 9 because I had to take Jessica to school so I was pretty tired all dayyyy.
Then Laurren and I went to Beverly Hills or LA or whatever to go to Johnny Cupcakes.
She bought an expensive shirt.

Then we went to Sprinkles!
You know, that expensive cupcake place.
(Note to self: don't play with camera aperture and other settings until you know how to work them)

Then we went on a mad adventure to Fashion Q, WalMart, Kohl's, and Target to find the rest of Laurren's costume for Saturday.

I made her buy me Skittles~

And then we went to BJs for dinner with her family and it was a lot of fun~~~
And I'm really not happy with any of the pictures I took today.
So not a real great start to the challenge. ):

Make sure to check out Michelle's pictures here.

Oh, and Jessica is pledging to walk our dog Ross every day!
Awesome~~~



Hopefully tomorrow is a better picture day. (:
