i’m actually in greece right now studying photography. i love it, but i get so self-conscious with my camera, thinking everybody is staring at me. plus, when i look at other people’s photos, theirs are so much better than mine, i feel like i shouldn’t even bother with it.
for me, becoming a better photographer is not so much about techniques and style than it is about confidence and passion. i mean.. i have the passion.. my fear just gets in the way.
i played flute all from 4th grade to my senior year of high school. was first chair most of my years, and did a couple honor bands… it was pretty fun, for the most part. i even took an elective solo class in college just to practice some more.
after you guys get good at this, you should do the piccolo… a little harder, but if you can do it just right (without being overly screechy lol), it’s pretty beautiful.
i remember when i learned to play the titanic theme song on the flute. i was so proud :)
making this list on a website just as this.
i know so many people who have these lists of things they want to do, and i can browse through things and say “oh that sounds like fun” or something…
but to really find things that would make me feel like i have lived life and not having any regrets (like i have had my whole life prior)...
i need to figure this out :)
completely worth it.
the one and only time i did it, i was dating this guy i dated only about a week, until i realized we had no chemistry (we are still good friend). even being with a guy that didn’t really “do it” for me a whole lot, this kiss…. was fan-tastic. omg.
i just can’t wait to do this with my boyfriend now… hehe
i’ve thought about this for a while. i’m no stranger to body mod (i have quite a few tattoos.. tasteful ones, of course… and i have a few piercings in my ears, as well as my tongue, nose, and navel). i can’t decide if this is something i 100% want or not.
i think, if you do it right, it can be kind of cute. i would get a small stud on one side or the other, nothing big. but i’m a little worried about image and reputation i guess.. although i’m not sure why. maybe getting a job later (even though, in the long run, i want to have my own business). and then when i think about getting married and having a family, having a lip piercing seems like it doesn’t really fit… lol. i have such a skewed vision of things. also, if i had to wait weeks for it to heal before i could kiss… well that would just be sad :(
the other night i had a dream i got my smiley pierced. which was weird. i don’t think i’d ever get it done, but it has gotten me thinking more seriously about piercings…
so, i’m in greece right now and had to leave my baby at home, but my parents have been sending me lots of photos of him (they actually shaved the poor thing, since i’m not there to brush him.. he looks so silly!)
anyway, one day my mom wrote me an email saying she walked into the bathroom, and lo and behold, there was my cat, perched on the end of it peeing into the toilet!! (of course, he is a boy and didn’t put the toilet seat up and got a little pee on the seat)
we haven’t even attempted to teach him how to do this, so i have no idea how he got the idea.. the only thing i can think of is that he follows me into the bathroom so much he just kind of caught up on it.
so, when i get back, i’m going to try to pursue this endeavour more vigoriously :)
I love cooking… Everybody says I have a knack for making desserts (maybe someday I will get really good at making actual meals lol) but my real goal is to come up with a unique recipe that is all mine… something I can make on special occasions and that I can pass down to my kids (if I ever have any!)
so i’m in greece, and only have a week until i’m officially ‘backpacking’. i’ve been here about three weeks now and i’m sooooo homesick, i really want to backpack but part of me just wants to go home!!!!!! i don’t know what to do :(
i’ve made plans to just go around for a month, hit up italy, germany, and france. i’m also doing this all by myself so.. i’m a little scared :( any advice??
i read somewhere that rewarding yourself helps a lot… so every day i exercise, i put $2 in a jar that i can spend on myself at the end of the month. it really helps :)
i’ve been making tons of fruit smoothies (yum) and limiting my candy… which is so hard, cuz i’m an emotional eater, especially when i’m stressed
i really want to tone up for so many occasions: my friends 21st birthday party next month, plus i’m traveling around europe this summer. it’s been one week… and i’ve only lost one pound. ugh.
i was browsing through this site and forgot i had listed this!! funny… me and my boyfriend ended up breaking up, and then he went psycho and started threatening to send guys after me to beat me up, and started calling my guy friends and harrassing them and was spreading rumours around town about me…. fun!!
hindsight is 20/20, huh?? think about what you’re fighting about: if it’s stupid shit, or he makes you FEEL like shit at all – he’s not worth it!!!
i think i am doing this this coming summer! it’s kind of whirlwind plans… i’ll be in greece doing a study-abroad anyway until june, then after that i figured… why not just stay in europe a bit longer and meander around?
i really have no plans though…. lol. eep!
