1. School - More specifically, film school. So long GPC! Hello, GA State (crossing my fingers)!
2. Mr. Green Eyes- Andrewkins is my live-in boyfriend. He's super supportive, super anti-social, and is one of my best friends.
3. Hobbies - I want to do all sorts of stuff but my laziness overcomes me. Possible candidates include: Photography, painting, drawing, sewing, and cooking.
4. Emotional Expression - I suffer from chronic depression and tend to look at the negative side of life. I, also, have done things I regret, which I will get into later. This may be a good outlet or it may be good for positive inspiration. Let's see, shall we?
5. Halloween - I love fantasy worlds and dressing up in extravagant outfits to escape into that world. I love the creepy and mysterious. I love candy. It all makes for an amazing holiday.
6. Trails and tribulations of Obtaining a Healthy Body- I would love to quit smoking. I've tried twice. I used to be 190 lbs five years ago. Then, I dropped to 130 lbs when I attended Krav Maga classes. Moved in with Mr. Green Eyes and now I'm up to a size 12 again. Don't know my weight but I'm guessing from the double chin and bubble belly, it ain't 130 lbs. any more. I shall quit smoking! I shall lose weight! I shall be healthy once again! Huzzah!
7. Travel - I had a hectic schedule between working at Buca di Beppo this past year and attending school that I never had a single day off (unless it snowed-and it snowed a lot!). Since Andrew has been able to find a job with good pay, he's been able to support me. It's been a freaking blessing. I've had time to, finally, hang out with friends and travel around more. I've been to Orlando, St. Augustine, and Panama City thus far. I didn't count the weekend trips to the mountains up north. I promised myself I would do more of this, and more of this I will do.
8. Stuff I like - Movies I like. Music I like. Books I like. Articles I like. Clothes I like. People I like.
In general, I want to record my life. I have been playing with the idea of starting a blog for a while now but I hate the idea of putting something permanent out into the world. I have never been pleased with the final result of my projects in the past. I'm afraid of making a mistake. This may be why it's taken over a decade to decide on a tattoo too (although I know I would pick David Hale in Athens as the artist). I am INDECISIVE. Especially, about long-lasting outcomes. Hopefully, this site will help with that. I will become smarter, stronger, faster... I CAN BE REBUILT.
I think this site will help ground my ideas to one source. I'll be able to look at my progress with crafts and hobbies. Talk about my issues. Point out my flaws. Start all over again and attempt at mastering them once and for all. I can't wait to see my progress with my writings too. My ADD kicks in at the most inopportune times and it glows like a landing beacon through my writing and room. I am horrible at telling stories. I'm like a bouncy ball jumping all over the place. Overall? It's a freaking mess. Let's see if I can't tidy some of it.
One of my new found loves is photography. I say new but it's similar to having a crush on a boy all through grade school and, finally, talking to him in high school. I have been wanting a nice digital camera for a long while now. My late uncle had his own studio, he got me my longest lasting job at Owens Studio, and photography was a topic of conversation that always popped up during family time. I want to be a photographer. I want to study it and be great at it. I want to be good enough that I can do this to support myself and Andrew while I finish school. I love all the photographers I've met and I am no longer scared of the precautions of not making it. It's do or die, damn it. I choose DO IT.
Yesterday, I played with my new DSLR Nikon D7100 camera for the third time since I've bought it. It's not as easy as I thought it would be. It doesn't matter how much studying I do, how many photography blogs I read, or how much I memorize the instruction manual, I'll never learn it by not physically doing it. I did get a little annoyed at thinking I captured a great shot, only to find out it was underexposed because I didn't fiddle with the shutter speed or aperture correctly. I know I'll get there. I just have to keep trying. And if I must say so myself, I did shoot a couple of nice pictures for an ultra-beginner. I'll have to post them later. Like I've mentioned before, my rooms a mess. I may end up breaking an ankle trying to get to the camera bag (I'm, also, a klutz- hooray me!).
Well, I can't imagine anybody reading this but if you're there, I bid you adieu until tomorrow!
