day two: empty

this theme was a kind of weird one. empty? how do you photograph that? 
so i thought about it a bit, and i didnt want to do something boring, like an empty cup. 
so i did this. 


i like it because there is feeling, but not at first glance. so it's kind of empty...?

i guess it counts.

everyone....

go here. help her out.


her love for God is infectious. it's beautiful. i love her and thank God for her.

day one: morning

for the month of june, i'm going to be taking a photo a day. (a person named the "fatmumslim" made a list of the different themes for each day)

today's theme was morning. of course that theme would fall on the grossest morning of the month. but i went outside and took some photos of this plant thing.


 i liked the dew on it. that signifies morning, i'd say.

summertime: part one

good day, everyone.

a few of my dear friends are graduating today. that makes me sad but really happy. sad, because they're leaving me. and the fact that they're graduating is proof that time is moving. i caught on to that recently. and it's a little scary.

but i'm happy because they're on their way to becoming real people who live in the world and matter. that's exciting.

so on thursday, a few of us went to a very magical and earthy place called serenbe to celebrate leslie graduating.
here are a few photos.

come sit with me.

so, i had this pretty great post in the making with photos on it, but surprisingly it's not blogger's fault or my own laziness that it's not up. the editing site i use isnt really cooperating. so that's why.

but i wanted to share something with you on my third day of summer, so i'll just tell you about what i've been up to.

last week, my parents went to florida and left me behind. so i lingered on over to my good friends emily and leslie's house. because they love me somewhat and always take me in. so i stayed with them. and here's a summary of the visit.

their mother is a freaken good cook. which i knew, but i loved experiencing it again. everrrryday.
next, our dogs arent too fond of each other.
and even though they locked me in their basement, i was very comfortable there. the bed was AMAZING. they have this pillow cover thing on the mattress that holds you like a baby while you sleep. and i loved having the window above my head open. the cool night breeze would blow through my bleached pine-straw hair. i loved it.

we drank approximately 400 cups of coffee. almost every hour. including at midnight. mostly because we had an enormous amount of school to do. projects, papers, general homework and studying. LOTS of it. and we just love coffee very much. so we stayed up til about 2 every morning, or at least i did, finishing stuff. or texting. whatever.
so i really didnt sleep very much when i was there, but when i did, and thanks to that pillow cover thing, i slept like a really tired teenage girl.

i think i really became part of the family during my visit. i think it was solidified. because their mom would start yelling at me too. it was weird. she's never really done that before. i felt honored, in a way. and scared. well, mostly scared. is this ok to be writing? hopefully she wont read this.

leslie and i went to the pool once. we laid on the concrete and told each other stories. and since my hair was wet, she played with it. i was laying down, and she made all of it stick straight up. i looked like johnny bravo. remember him? yeah. i didnt care though, since i was laying on the ground and no one could see me. but then i sat up a few times, forgetting i looked like an idiot with all of my hair standing up and i panicked. it was embarrassing.
then, i think she told me about this one time she got lost in walmart and i asked, when was this? and she said, well i get lost every time i'm in there. and then we laughed. and i dont know why i just told you that. then i told a story she was interested in i think, but i cant remember what it was.
(hey les, remember that lady that was standing over us?? HA!)

i think i'm just lonely. no one's texting me back. i guess this blog is like wine to me. or a diary.

same thing, right?

one day,

i'm going to get in the shower and never get out. i'll die in there.

my epitaph will read:

she was clean.

you know the feeling...

you get right after you vomit violently for a long time and your stomach kind of gets calm and you can finally breathe? that's how i feel right now.



this past week was THE MOST stressful week i've experienced thus far. it's like school rained down fire on me. on all of us. we had SO much to do and study for. it was awful. really, really awful. i cried many times...i cry when i'm really stressed.

but now it's over. ahh, it's over. for the summer. i feel so good right now. the weight is gone. i bet this is how prisoners feel when they get out of prison. they're like, SWEET! FREEDOM! but then a few short moments later, they find themselves saying, oh shoot. what next?

i feel so free, i dont know what to do. how will i spend my days now? what will be looming over me, tormenting me and calling me names in my dreams at night? no deadlines? what??

so what do we do?

WE BE AWESOME.

summer, you better get ready cause we're here. well actually, it's too late for you to get ready cause it's happening as we speak. so hopefully you're ready right now.

we're taking this summer by the horns. good things are going to happen.

the future's bright, baby. it's freaken bright.
