I found this quiz on another site that I read, and it made me happy. Enjoy!  Midnight - You are a deep thinker, always searching for answers and never quite at home. You are very contemplative, and enjoy being alone with your thoughts. When are you? brought to you by Quizilla Friday, June 27, 2003

How do you harness your inner creativitiy? I'm stuck! We set out to take pictures of some local spots yesterday evening. I didn't even get through half a roll of film though, because I just wasn't seeing anything that stood out to me. All of my pictures are the same. Leaves and petals and tree trunks -- even I'm getting bored! I seriously need to find my inspiration. The same thing can be said for this website as well. I keep reviewing other people's blogs and personal websites that I like to read, trying to figure out what it is that draws me into each of them. I'm having a terrible time getting down to what they have in common, what makes them good websites visually (they all have vastly different content), so I can implement some of those things here. I don't like what I've got going on. I want something interesting, that will *pop* so to say. I don't want to be boring!!! Finally, an update on *the dress.* I love it! I didn't remember liking it so much when it was picked out, but it's very cool and will make for some wonderful pictures. Now we just have to get down to a when and where for that. I can't wait to see how this project turns out! Wednesday, June 25, 2003

Thankfully, my mood seriously improved last night. :) I took a looksee at a few new lenses for my camera. I like them very much, and am going to get them. No more having to borrow stuff from my boyfriend's camera bag!!! This (and the new cooperative weather) will definitely increase the amount of time and effort I put into my pictures. I'm so excited about it, because I really need the practice. The plan is to go roaming around places with pretty plant life tomorrow after work. Hoping to get some great shots. :) As always, anything acceptable will be posted here. In the meantime, we're going shopping tonight. We have to go pick up *the dress* that my dear sweet one has put on layaway at Hot Topic. Not entirely sure how I feel about this dress, but apparently I am going to wear it for a photoshoot or something. If I remember correctly, it's black and red and has a lace up top, almost corset like. Anyway, if the pictures turn out well, I may just let you take a look at it yourself. Tuesday, June 24, 2003

Yet another bright day outside, but it's not so sunny inside. Not within me at the moment. For whatever reason, I decided that it would be a wacky-fun lunchtime activity to look up old friends on the internet. Ok, maybe not all of them are exactly friends. People I used to associate with -- friends, a lover or two, people I betrayed, people who betrayed me, people who just faded away. Some I know why I don't speak to them anymore. Some that I have truly no idea what happened. But no matter who they are, or what they once were to me, I should know better than to try to find them now. I looked for these old acquaintences, and found exactly what I expected. Pain. Pain because some have gotten so much farther in life than I have so far. Pain because some of them just haven't changed, and I see the people that I used to love. Pain because of broken links and sights that aren't there anymore -- leaving me to wonder what ever happened to them. I don't like it when I don't find the answers. Pain to just see a list of names on someone's link page. You know that list brought back more old thoughts and memories than anything anyone could have ever written in a frigging Live Journal. Here's the really interesting part though. I came to a startling realization. I'm hiding. When I search for my own name, I find nothing. Nothing that has anything to do with me, anyway. I've somehow managed to keep my name off this entire site, and now I know why. I don't want someone to find me the way I found them. I don't want to be someone else's pain. And to be honest, as appealing as it might seem at times, I don't want to relive the past. Well now... that was rather pointless, wasn't it? Back to your regular afternoon programming.

It's another bright sunny day in Pittsburgh! I can't believe I'm stuck inside at work, when I could be out there enjoying it!!! At least I got to go out on my lunch for a few minutes. Thursday looks like a good day for pictures. I'm hopeful about that anyway. It's supposed to be partly cloudy, high of 90, and only a 20% chance of rain. That makes me happy.  What Finding Nemo Character are You? brought to you by Quizilla You know, I haven't seen that movie yet. The quiz just amused me for some reason. I've only heard good things about it though. :) Sunday, June 22, 2003

Hey! What is that strange thing up in the sky? If I didn't know any better, I'd say that was the sun! It's amazing, to actually see a bright sunny day after the couple of weeks worth of rain we just had. Maybe I can go out with my camera sometime this week. I'm so excited! :) The sunshine and fresh air are affecting me in wonderful ways too. I'm actually so motivated to get things done today. I'm popping in here in between various household chores that have been sorely neglected as of late. Isn't it weird how sunlight really does affect our moods? Anyway, I should be getting back to it. In the meantime, here's something fun for you to check out:  Which Hellsing character are you? And if you haven't seen Hellsing yet, you should check it out! Saturday, June 14, 2003

I've been thinking about my life and the changes I'm making, and the changes I've been wanting to make but haven't gotten to yet. I've been thinking that maybe I'm looking for inspiration in all the wrong places. I already have it. It's all within myself. I just have to tap into it, I think. There's no time like the present, so why wait? :) Friday, June 13, 2003

Change is good. I'm beginning to believe that more and more. For example, I got my hair done last night. Lost several (maybe 5 or 6) inches, got lots of layers that weren't there before, dyed it an brownish red. Red is good. I feel like a completely different person. :) Wednesday, June 11, 2003

Doing my best to make an honest woman of myself - I actually updated my photography pages! If you care to take a look, the links are to the left. And be sure to tell me what you think. :) Next goal... Updating my thoughts, pictures, and links *regularly* I've done some rearranging of my life in the last week or so... I should have more "me" time now. That goal shouldn't be a problem, and I may actually come up with something worth reading one of these days.

Ok, it's late. And I still didn't get to the photographs! Damn. Oh well. I do fully (and honestly) intend to get to them soon. You have no idea how awful I feel for having made a liar of myself. At least the colors are bearable now? Tuesday, June 10, 2003

I have finally gotten my head out of my ass. I'm currently in the process of editing this place and cleaning things up. Bear with me, k? (Yeah, I know, I'm a pain...) |
