Photography Portion of the Class

We're in the photography portion of my graphic design class, which is my current favorite part. I love taking photos.

One of our projects was we had to take 5 self-portraits.

Picture 1 had to be a soft photo (slightly blurry)


Picture 2 had to be a sharp Black and White Photo.


Picture 3 had to be me looking down at someone. I had a better idea for this but no one would help me :(


Picture 4 had to be me looking up at someone. Again, I had a great idea for this, but no one would help me. all of the pictures I took today didn't look good, but luckily I found this in my collection, so I think it should work.


Picture 5 he told us to be creative as we want to be. So this is what I did, hopefully it works:


I'd like to give you a proper update on my life. But, well, besides ordering my cap and gown and my class ring, nothing really has happened lately.

Oh, BTW, Repo: The Genetic Opera is AMAZING!!! I <3 Graverobber.

I Don't Need Your Drama, I've Got Enough Of Mine

Hey, you there, on the nightwish forum, bite me.

I've been doing forums for like 5 years now. I think my very first forum was either evanescence of the Sims. I have never, ever, been warned or anything. I've always been really nice, helpful, and sometimes, even liked. At least, I think I was liked on the sims forum back in the day. I was a skinner, so I made skins for people and I did requests, so I think I was kind of popular.

But then comes this new nightwish forum and all of a sudden, I am the biggest bitch that only a couple of people seem to like and noone really talks to me and it just sucks. the forum sucks balls now. It used to be pretty cool, but now I can't stand it. The people on, mostly, suck.

Maybe I'm just too cynical at this point in my life to be apart of something like that. I don't trust anything anyone writes and I think most people are just douchebags.

Fuck the nightwish forum. Bye bye.

p.s. yes, I'm attempting to work on my new layout. It's a slow process, bite me.
p.p.s. did I ever mention I got my VIP ticket for Epica in February? I just hope Alice gets hers so we can go together! Epica would not be the same if she is not there to enjoy it with me!

In the middle of a facelift

As you might see, for the whole 1 of you who actually reads my blog, I am in the middle of redoing my blog. My stupid photoshop is being douchey, so it will take longer than I had originally hoped, but hopefully by tomorrow the changeover will be complete.

Until then, enjoy the awkardness that is the final moments of Where The Storm Meets the Ground. Which, btw, is an amazing song by The Storm. YouTube it.

Oh Hai, Over react much? K, thanx, bye!

Today is the end of my very enjoyable three day weekend. What did I do for labor day weekend? Well, my wonderful roommate Alice had an extra ticket for Cedar Point and was kind enough to invite me to go with her. Also, her family owns a trailer in Port Clinton and so her parents and her brother would be joining us (or us joining them) for some wonderful labor day weekend festivities.

We drove over on Friday evening and we watched some TV and just settled in. We did visit with some of their friends that night as well. On Saturday, Alice and I went to Cedar Point where I had an amazing time. We rode Millenium Force (where I lost part of my soul and almost got mangled by someone's water bottle that popped out over a hill. BTW, just so you know DON'T TAKE A WATER BOTTLE ON A ROLLERCOAST. K, thanx.), Magnum, Gemini 3 times, Paddlewheel 2 times (Alice used to work there), the Mine Ride, Raptor and Blue Streak. I had a great time, as I said, despite the bruises on my legs, arms, and back. Blue Streak, gemini and the mine ride are all really old, so I bounce around a lot in their wooden coasters. Ouch.

We left about 5 and then headed back to the trailer where we sat around and watched some TV after going on a liquor run for some people. On Sunday, we went to Netty's for lunch, then went to the lighthouse in Marblehead, and then headed back to the trailer park. We had a huge cookout with some of their amazingly funny friends. Alice and I satyed until about 8 or so and then we headed back to her trailer where we watched some more TV and worked on some stuff for NaNoWrMo.

Then this morning we woke up for breakfast at 9 with some friends and had a pretty lazy morning before driving back to campus at noon. All in all, I adore Alice's family because they are hilarious. And, I'm sure she'll tease me for saying so, but Alice's brother is pretty cute. I just thought I'd mention for all who care.

He reminds me of my brother in that he likes to pick on me. haha, he thought it would be funny to start saying shit about the red wings, which got me going. It was comical. He's such a typical brother, haha.

But yeah. I didn't get much homework done, but I had an awesome weekend. I love hanging out with Alice and her family and their friends at Port Clinton. I hope I get a chance to do it again before I graduate.

tonight, I am going to head over to Afro's apartment to hang out with him and Ice and watch some football. Yeah!

The Only Thing Worse That Could Happen Is I Could Have the Swine Flu Or Some Other Deadly Disease

I'm to the point where dropping out of college is becoming more and more appealing. Sadly, I am not joking about that. Within the next couple weeks, particularly while being at home this weekend, a decision will have to be made. It's becoming more and more clear that the idea of me graduating of May is passing farther and farther away from my reach.

I hate that I'm so close and yet graduation is out of my reach. I should have known that since it seemed like I had everything under control that everything is not under control. So what do I do? I do intend on getting my degree. I won't come this close to it and never get it, but I'm thinking I will drop out and get a job doing something and then go back later, in a year or something, and finish my last year. But honestly, at this point, I want nothing more to do with this ridiculous school. I don't want to give them the satisfaction of adding me to the list of people who have graduated with a degree from their institution.

I don't know what I would do for a job if I drop out. Maybe the military? I don't know anymore. It's weird, but it seems like whenever I'm at school, I have the strong desire to be in the military, but when I go home, I lose that desire. I don't think I want to be an officer, but I think I'd like to be in the military. But then that means no Denmark for Grad school :( But with the money I'd make in the military I could save up and then go there for a vacation one year. IDK.

I just really don't have the desire to be at this ridiculous school anymore.

Today I found out that I've somehow overlooked the fact that I need to take POL 408 to graduate. How is it that while planning my class schedule for the last three years that I've managed to skip that class? HOW DID I NEVER NOTICE? This makes no sense. And, of course, the class is only given in the fall. Oh and it's during my history class. Sure, I could drop my history class and add my POL 408 but I need that history class.

I just don't care anymore. And I don't mean about getting my degree. I want nothing more to get my degree, but I just don't care about this ridiculous school anymore. I don't want to give them anymore money. I don't want to give them my service. I don't want to be here anymore.

So what do I do? I suppose I could transfer...but to where? I just don't know what to do. And I know what my parents will say. They will tell me to tough it out and do what I have to get my degree. I only have 9 months left.

But that's not what I want. I don't want to be here anymore. Everyday for the past five days I've wanted to just bawl my eyes out because nothing is going right. It's like the world has conspired against me. I'm so thoroughly unhappy here. I don't like any of my classes. I am so pissed that this stupid school won't accept my science class and that I have to appeal one of my grades and that I never knew I need POL 408 despite the fact I've been meticulously planning every semester since I was freshman. I hate that I can never get into my dorm because the stupid key system doesn't work and I that don't have a job. I hate that I still have to finish that stupid research methods class and I have to write that stupid issue for Model UN and I have to be president of a club that no one cares about. I just don't care anymore.

I'm done.

I'd Like to Tell You A Story About A Girl Who Had a Mild Panic Attack At School and Murdered Half the Campus...

But that would be a false story.

I have to perform in my espionage class with 3 other people on Friday. Our class has been split into 8 groups and we each have a different part of the "spy finding a mole" process. Our part is the "Handling" of information. I play the Washington policy-maker who informs the spy of what we need from the mole.

I hate talking in front of groups and performing in front of people.

I know, how can I be a politician if I can't speak in front of people? Well, when I'm talking about something I enjoy, like politics, then its easy for me to speak in front of people.

This is why I never did acting.

Well, espionage should be fun though.

My other classes suck, although I haven't had Capstone yet, but judging by the fact we have 5 books, I'm going to bet it sucks.

I'm still trying to decide if I really want to go to Sonata Arctica or not. Its only $16 for the ticket, but I'm trying not to spend my money so much. Plus I need to buy my VIP ticket for Epica and my $40 Volbeat shirt before the show in November. So much to buy so little money!

Back To School And Pissed Beyond Belief Already. New High Score!

So today is the first day of classes of the new year. I moved back to this ridiculous school on saturday and have discovered that this school is more fucked up than ever. First of all, we have hardly any shelving in our room. wtf? Oh and my friends room on the 3rd floor gets a bench in the shower, but we don't despite the fact this is supposed to be a handicapped room.

oh, rite, i see what you did thar. AND FUCK YOU.

Then I discover that the school will not accept my Environmental science class as one of my science requirements because when I was a freshman, ENS 101 was a BIO class, thus since I took Bio Lab, ENS 101 does not count. Oh really? I AM NOT TAKING ANOTHER FUCKING SCIENCE CLASS DOUCHEBAGS.

Oh and I still will need 18 credits. So next semester, I have to take 18 credits which is about 6 classes. Did I mention I'll have to pay extra for that 6th class despite the fact the online registry tells us we're allowed 18 credits? Haha, I totally get it. AND ANOTHER FUCK YOU!

And then, ya know, I can't get my fucking computer updated all weekend so this is the first time I've been on the internet since friday. Fucking retarded system.

And then today, I lose my id! I CAN'T DO ANYTHING WITHOUT MY ID. I can't get into my building, I can't eat in the lunchroom or the cafe, and I can't buy my books. WHY GOD, WHY?

I am just beyond pissed and beyond stressed and I am this | | close to crying and then taking a gun to the stupid college hall (just kidding, I'd never kill them. that would be letting them off to easily).

Oh, and did I mention after that for four years of school, it costs over $100,000? And it's not even that great of an education.

Swear to God, after I become famous, I'm telling everyone to stay away from this fucking school. It's not worth the crap you go through in the four years here.
