Boob Fest in Portrait Studio

Some days I meet the best people in portrait studio. Seriously.

So I was in a group with Katie and Heidi. They're both great girls... but because Heidi is such a strict Christian, she doesn't approve of anything naughty... and that definitely makes up a good portion of my personality. Don't get me wrong, we get along great! I just have to really monitor my behavior. xD

Well... next to our bay we had Adam, Alexis, and Elise... who were having a boob fest. So while my group was taking a small break to the bathroom/smoke/ect... I wandered over there. And we all had a boob fest! It went from boobs, to Girls Gone Wild, to sexuality (because Adam was all "How many lesbians are there here!?" and all three of us raised our hands, even though Alexis and Elise are only bi x3), back to boobs... It was just plain funny. Alexis, the lucky girl, had a date with a chick later that night though. How unfair. :(

But Elise and I are getting along really well now. She and I worked together in the commercial studio later in the afternoon, and it was cool because we both agreed we'd just fix our images up in Photoshop. Yup, that's right! We have gone digital in the commercial studio! Super cool, let me tell you. It will take a lot of getting used to though, because we don't use all of the digital censors on our Leaf Aptus Digital Backs and stuff. So we're not always getting the full image we think we are, blah blah blah. But still... helluva lot easier than film! And I don't have to scan it now. x3 So that's cool.

Anyways...

Elise stayed after school with me too, since we had to print. We were there until about 7pm, and then I gave her a ride home since her boyfriend had needed the truck for work.

Yeah... hot chick has a boyfriend. That made me sad, but oh well. She's still a friend and that's all that matters. ^^ What's funny though, is that her ultimate goal is to be an animator for Disney Pixar. xD So after Hallmark, she's going to work for a few years and then go back to school. Pretty crazy, but awesome nonetheless.

So yes, yesterday was pretty cool.

Up to bat today: TABLETS IN THE IMAGING LAB! HELLS YEAH!!!! <33333

Glassware and Airplanes

All right... I got lax on the entries again. >.<" Gomennasai.

Anywho... onto the two highlights...

GLASSWARE AND AERIAL PHOTOGRAPHY!

Glassware first.

So we shot glassware commercially, and it was a ton of fun. I missed my scheduled time though, so I did it after school. And I still got GREAT results. <3 I seriously am in LOVE with glassware. You have NO idea. I could shoot tons more! So pretty! So if you have an idea, lemme know. And if you have a piece you want photographed... lemme know. ^.~ What's even cooler though, is that over the summer when I photographed my glass beads and flame-working... I was doing it correctly without the knowledge I gained from the commercial studio! o_o How friggin' cool is that!? <333

Then... yesterday I did Aerial Photography... @_@

Don't get me wrong, it's incredibly cool! However I had never been in a plane before... and this wasn't the best first experience. I got incredibly motion sick from all the turbulence, and was cruelly reminded of why I hate roller coasters. Dx But maybe if I take bonine or something and try again, it won't be as bad. Aside from those air pockets that drop you and you feel like the plane is just going to plummet to the ground. >.<" All in all it was really nifty. Tony was a little concerned though because I think I was pretty green at the gills when I stepped off, and I was having a few issues walking. Yeah... tensing your muscles for about a half-hour straight... not good. ^^; But I was good to go... pretty much. Unlike a lot of people who got motion sick, I didn't vomit. So that was good. However, I'm still having a few issues shaking the nauseated feeling from it. Which blows. Oh well. Hopefully, flying in a jet is better than a four-seater (pilot+three people) Cessna fixed-wing aircraft. lol

I think the funniest thing Tony said to me though, was right after I had gotten off the plane and he was asking how it went. I told him it was shakey, and you know what he tells me?
"Hey, now you just have to jump out of one!"
Veeeery funny Tony. You're a riot. xD

Had I had my wits about me, I'd have told him I just did. After all, he never said skydiving (even though that's what he meant lol). x3

So I don't have the aerial photos to show you yet because looking at them was making me nauseas all over again, but I do have glassware! Enjoy!

The Wizard of Oz

This weekend I sold the photographs I did of The Wizard of Oz, performed by the Galway Youth Theatre. Guys... parents and grandparents went fairly nuts over this. I made $221 off the gig, and $196 was purely from the parents. The other $25 was my fee to the theatre group for doing the photos. Everyone LOVED them, and a lot of people took my business card. I will definitely be getting other job offers. ^^ SOOOO COOL! Oh yeah! And one of my photos made TWO newspapers! And tone of people recognized it! Which was good, because they forgot to credit me. u_u; But it was an honest mistake, so I'm not angry. No harm no foul. And it was still exposure to those who came. ^^ So now I just have to make and send prints! How cool is that!? And I will totally be uploading a PDF file of all the images for you guys to see, because there are 43 of them. ^^" I don't know if I could make a layout of some kind for DeviantART or not. But I'll try. What I really need to do now though is update my website. So that's what I'll be doing! Tehe. ~<3

Becoming Lonely...

Hallmark is still pretty awesome. We're moving on to Phase II, which means that we've switched up our groups, but more on that in a minute. It's actually not as happy as I'd like...

Anywho...

So we finally made it into the portrait studio! WHOOT! I have seriously fallen in love. Working in the portrait studio with all the lights... it's just like heaven. It's funny too, because I used to be so unsure about people. Now it just tends to come naturally as I observe. This might be my new home. x3

Halloween was GREAT. I was a geisha, and I literally stopped both fellow students and instructors dead in their tracks with my appearance. ^_^ I think I did pretty damn good. And the little kids... adorable. Seriously, handing out candy was tons of fun, even though it was cold. However, due to this I was more interested in taking a hot bath to warm up than doing photos, so until I put the costume back on I have nada for you.

Shot some of my Phase I final this weekend. Couldn't do it all though because I couldn't get a hold of a flash. Oh well.

I also shot at the Coffee House and did band photos for HellFire. Band photos are such a rush! I really enjoy shooting at concert situations.

Then I did some for the Galway Youth Theatre. This was great for three reasons:
1) They're getting published in a newsletter with my name.
2) My name goes in the program.
3) I am being allowed to set up a stand next to the ticket one to sell my work at the show. o_o
Seriously, it put me on cloud nine for a bit. <3

But then my mood hit the gutter. I haven't been taking my pills, which is bad, but I can't help it. I just haven't been keeping a good enough diet I guess. *shrug*

Anyways, we're switching groups so I'm no longer with any of the "friends" I made thus far. I use that term lightly though, because I still feel like an outsider. Sure, people are nice, and I get along great with them... but they always make plans with each other. And never with me. I always have to ask to be included... and that hurts. Part of it could be because I go home on the weekends... but really why stay? Stay and be lonely in my apartment because no one wanted to hang with me.

It just hurts. And now we have new groups, and even though Heidi, Alexis, and Adam are with me in it, I still feel alone. Because Heidi and Alexis are very close with each other... and Adam is cool but he and I really just chat during projects we're working on together.

I'm starting to feel like a loner by nature. I thought I could start fresh at Hallmark and make tons of friends but it's just not happening. And that's really upsetting.

I just want one really close friend... and I can't seem to find anyone.

It makes me feel alone.

Very alone.

Oh yeah... and my car broke earlier this week but it's fixed now.
