I always enjoy Fridays. I had to take an exam yesterday but it was very easy. I finished my art exam in about 12 minutes. So did my friends Meredith and Brooke. It was just definitions. We had a great time actually. Meredith had her roller blades with her and kept them on all during class.  Afterward we went outside and took a few pictures. The weather was wet and my hair didn't agree but it's all good. Chris and his mother later picked me up from school along with my friends Ana and Victor, seeing as they live down the street from me and I did not want them to walk home. Christopher actually drove on the way to pick me up. He has his learners and is actually a very good driver. I was surprised. Anyways I couldn't go to the Sent By Ravens concert. My mother didn't want us driving in the rain during rush hour.  I think we had a great time any ways. I got a tour of Chris's old high school and met some of his old teachers, the school is so small, no kidding. I thought my school was small, we're only 2A. This school is way smaller. It's insane. Cute though. Anyways we all, Christopher, Chris, Mary(Chris's girlfriend and my friend and Christopher's best friend), Justin(Chris's little brother), Greg, and I all stayed at Chris's house. I fell asleep for a little while because I was very tired. I woke up and we all ate dinner with his family. His little sister, Kristina who is very cute, made dinner. I'm such a picky eater I only ate the deviled eggs. They were really good though. She's very talented! I really can't cook much of anything, sadly. We ended up all sword fighting outside. Greg, who is also my Jedi Master, gave me another light saber lesson. I learned better blocking skills I think. He says I did well. I think I did alright too. Christopher kept getting his fingers hit, partly my fault, and I'm very sorry. After we were worn out we went back inside and played Super Mario Bros. I beat that game on the NES many many years ago. It was my first video game and I played it constantly. I beat it when I was around four years old. Chris has yet to beat it. It just takes a lot of time and patience I really don't see how I did it. Either way we all had a great time watching each other play.  Played some Wii Sports too, I'm really no good at that so I sat out. Later I was dropped off at my house and finished working on an album cover. Greg and I stayed up a little while and chatted via Skype trying to figure out a name for this cover.

I took the picture Thursday downtown on the train tracks. I photoshopped the train in there. I would never endanger Chris's life for a photo ha ha. But it's really one of my favorite pictures.  It's really great I think. Anyways, I have to get ready to go with Chris and his family to his little brother's baseball game soon. I'll update later.

Elbows Like Bananas

Today was beautiful. Even though I did not get to leave school early for exams, none of that matters to me. After school I went to Alexa's with her and Christopher. We showed her Filmology, which is still really funny the next day ha ha... Greg came over and I pwned Chris at Naruto: Clash of the Ninja something. It was fun. After we played some games we went to the park. Stopped at Five Guys and ate, then ventured off and took some great pictures. We went all around the park and what not. Completely one of the greatest days in a long time... I miss hanging out with these amazing people... I love them so much just being around them is such a pleasure. Alexa seemed to have fun. She's very photogenic so I got some great shots of her. We walked to my little church on the hill from the park. Saw my aunt and two younger cousins, how fortunate, I was afraid I'd be there and not know anyone and them be upset that some crazy teenagers were hanging around their church. Correction, we are not crazy teenagers.

We are all perfectly sane... I really did get a lot of great pictures I can't wait to edit them and post them on DeviantArt. I'm really too tired to write much more... All I know is that I love my friends and don't know where I'd be without them. These I was with today are some of the most amazing people I know. Sadly another one, Matthew, couldn't be here today. he will be home soon though, thankfully. Poor kid... Anyways, I'm giving up on typing now.

The Reels

Today was a great deal better than yesterday. Despite the administrative detention I got for tardies. I sat in a room with people who did actual things to break the rules, who left after 30 minutes because it wasn't administrative. Whatever I got to write an essay, (I know fun right), I basically ranted about how corrupt the school is. How we've spend thousands upon thousands of dollars on a game. Football to be exact, Yeah, it's a fun little high school sport... but what about the engineering, art, and computer classes? What about the things that actually matter? How many of them will grow up and play football professionally? Not many. How many of them will end up bums who never learned a damn thing because they played football all of their high school career? Many of them will end up like Bill Dauterive from King Of The Hill, lonely, fat, bald and clinically depressed. Living in the past, the prime of their lives, high school football. Bah, anyways I've bitched enough for one day. 

After detention I feared I wouldn't have a ride home, my phone died earlier that day and I couldn't call anyone. Thankfully I have amazing friends who take care of me. I would write a little heart here if it didn't look so immature. Got to be with some of my favorite people today. My boyfriend Christopher, best friend Greg, new friend Matt, best girl friend Alexa and well... I'm not sure where I stand with little Chris. Not that we aren't friends, I guess... Well whatever, in time... Ha ha... We played video games at Christopher's house for a while, he made pizza bagels, I didn't eat them though. I don't care for marinara sauce or bagels... Chris did look adorable making them though. Couldn't resist the apron. Ha ha. Pretty cute eh? Watched Filmography, which was awesome. Later we went on an epic journey to find Sonic Adventure battle 2. We were defeated. We went to a Blockbuster, they are totally obsolete now sadly, and don't even sell Gamecube games anymore. We traveled to my best friend Alexa's house. I have a copy over there somewhere. We just can't seem to locate it, which is sad because I really can own anyone at that game, including Chris. Which was the point of us traveling to find that game. Thankfully I got to see Alexa, I don't see her as much as I used to, but we do have art class together now which is amazing. She's my 'Blonde Bombshell' friend according to our art teacher.  I'll be with her and Chris, Greg and hopefully Matt tomorrow. I'm thinking maybe we could go to a park and take pictures, hopefully. Anything as long it's with them. I couldn't ask for anything more than to be with the people I love. In all today was good. I get out early tomorrow since I don't take my first period exam. Or second. So I don't have to go to school until like, 9 something on Friday. Then Finals next week. Gotta get ready for those. Mostly Bio, History, and English. Not going to worry much about Graphics and Art. The sooner I fall asleep the sooner tomorrow comes. I'm dead tired, I should already be asleep. Night night.

Tonight I will do my best and pray for Matthew. I have no idea what he's up to or how he is. I hope he's alright... Yes. I'll pray... Don't get used to it...

Stop watching me type

So I'm at my boyfriends house. I miss him terribly but I', bored as hell on a stick. Not that I don't like video games, it's our best friend, his brother, his other friend, him and I. So yeah... Still bored as hell. Just don't know anything about these games I guess. Whatever... Can't complain... At least he's not in VA... Annoyed I guess. Starving. Nothing I want to eat here. Yes, I'd rather just be hungry than eat something I don't want to eat. I know better than anyone how picky I am... But there's really nothing I can do about it. If I don't want to eat it it's fine with me... why should it bother anyone else? It's personal preference.

So earlier today I come home from school and find the house trashed. Literally trashed. There was a 360 of trash going through the kitchen, dining area and living room. Once again, my lovely dog, Savannah. She drives me nuts I never even wanted a dog... So had to clean that up... Mopped up the hot sauce that she wiped everywhere... I could have sworn mother and I put her in the basement this morning... The basement door was open when I got home so I'm guessing she found a way out of there too.... Great. 

I was late for school by the by... I failed to wake up. I woke up almost two hours late...  Made it there before 1st ended. I did, however, talk to my teacher, who is the job person (I can't remember the name) for our school. He recommended me to David pope photography. I've already talked to this David pope character. He was advertising in the cafeteria for senior pictures. Instead of asking him about the pictures I asked about the camera. A Nikon D300 I think he said? Whatever he ended up being an alright guy and I'm hoping he needs someone to do photo manipulations. Even little things I'd be fine with. He said he needed a Photographers Assistant. I could do that... I think. I mean, I'd fetch him doughnuts if he needed them. Little things, whatever I can get. I have to put together a resume and my portfolio. Deviantart has a portfolio feature... Speaking of dA, they just changed their page and what not. It's upgraded I'm sure I'll get used to it. It's annoying at the moment though.

So yes. In all, a pretty sucky day. Better than most, but I still feel a hint of suckness.

I suppose the good thing is I'm with people I love... Even if they're not paying a lick of attention to me, I'm fine with that. I don't need it. I know they love me. Sometimes

Love is like a role that we play.

I was going to write something about summer here but couldn't think of anything witty or charming. So I guess I'll just tell the truth. I hate summer. The humid weather, the feeling of being cooked by simply walking out the door, not my thing. Although I do love the lack of school, I often have to take summer classes because of my lack of competency when it comes to Math. Math and I haven't gotten a long in a while. We probably never will, Math just... has too many problems. Ha ha I made a joke... Anyways, back to summer. I have a good feeling about this summer though. Recently I have had some amazing people come into my life. Now that I have them I don't see how I've lived with out them for so long. They are my everything. Not that I've forgotten the friends I had before, not at all, I've just gained more lately. In a way I feel like they saved me a bit. I became friends with these people when times were the hardest. Not that they knew exactly what had been going on, but they were there none the less. I will enjoy spending summer with them. I think I'm really looking forward to capturing all of this with the camera... The feeling of catching the moments that I can barely believe are happening is the best feeling in the world.

I spend my afternoons
Watching the trees bend
Over the streets we walk
Arching our path
Listening to us talk
Watching our feet
Kick up dust as we start to run
Fast like the wind that flows through your hair
Fast like our lungs as they intake the air
These are the days I wish lasted forever
These are the days I thought I’d never
Live to see
My love you’ve saved my life
In too many ways to count
Taught me why it’s important to live
And what it’s all about
Darling don’t you know
What it was like long ago
When my bones sat alone
Under the shade of the trees
That first poisoned me
Spores of despair
Once filled our lungs
And smothered our air
Burned our skin
Soiled our tongues
Away from the ways
That we once followed
Forgotten are the hearts
Of those we hollowed
Onward we go
Following the light
Our pasts in the corner
In hopes it will be alright

I remember I wrote that when I was on spring break this year. I didn't want to go at first because Copeland was in town and they... yeah they broke up and what not... That was really a downer. In fact I'm still upset about it. Anyways, my mother, brother, best girl friend, her parents and I went to Gulf Shores AL and had a great time...  We were on the way back to the beach house when I saw some trees bending over the road. I really do wonder why they did that. Maybe I should Google it...  So anyways, I guess that's where I got the inspiration for this. I would love to have enough time to watch them bend as they do. I was also thinking of two lovers walking down that road whispering sweet nothings to each other and the trees eaves dropping.  Ha ha. It was a really interesting time if I do say so myself. 

Anyways I ramble I ramble... 

I suppose I'll keep posting if I feel.

The first blog

I have never done a blog before. I see many of them out here on the world wide web. People seem to enjoy them. I usually spend my time on Deviantart or Facebook... Maybe I can waste more time here. Wish me luck.
