Wow, time passes by quickly.
My inspiration streak ended a little bit ago. I liked pulling out my camera every two seconds and getting amazing shots... but my talent for that wore off quickly.
I am hoping next year I can get into Digital Photography 2... instead of 1.
I think my photographic ability exceeds at least past 1.

I can't wait till the end of the year. School is really stressing me out. I want summer to arrive... or at least warmth. I'm sick of the cold.

Today is 6 months for me and Jacob ^^ It doesn't seem to have been that long.

On Friday I went to an Artworks for Haiti fundraiser. Amazing artists came and auctioned off their art. All the proceeds went to the Haiti relief. I was so jealous of the artwork there. I wish I was that talented. Me and a friend bought a painting by one of our best friends, Haley, (a.k.a ). It was an expensive piece ($36) but it was towards a good cause . She is an amazing artist and she should start posting her paintings on here... (even though they are amazing in person too ) *cough* *cough*

It's almost Spring Break!!! Counting down the days!

I am making a promise...
I promise I am never going to drink or try/do drugs.
Believe it or not, I have gotten judged based on this statement.
'You're only 15, you never know. You probably will decide otherwise once you get to college and you are easily exposed to this sort of stuff.'
I am dead.serious.
Never will I look at a bottle of wine or vodka and think 'I want to taste it. I want to take a sip. I want to give in.'
Never will I look at the people smoking in the park across the street and think 'maybe I should try it. what does it feel like to be high?'
I do have my own personal reasons for this... but why do you have to have a personal hatred for it to make your willpower this strong? Why can't everyone have a great enough willpower to just not give in.
It's not "cool", in any way shape or form, to kill yourself faster.
That's what drugs and alcohol do to you.

This past week, I hope I made people think. I am totally open about never trying drugs or alcohol...
I've had a couple people come to me and say 'I want to make this promise with you'
I can't even explain to you how awesome it felt for those people to say that. It's that feeling inside when you feel like you could seriously start dancing around your room like a maniac.

Sometimes, I feel like I can change stuff like this. I feel like I really could make a difference... I used to flip at my friends when they did drugs... I would go off on them and explain the stupidity of it...
One day, my friend wanted to bring pot to a party. I argued with him for 2 hours about it. That night I was walking with him and he turned to me and said 'I'm quitting. I don't want to do this anymore'
It's probably the moment where I was the most proud of someone. To this day, he still is clean. Moments like that are when I feel like I could change someone else's life too... I know, I know... I'm 15. But getting your friends above the influence is a start right?

I hope I made you think too... whoever is reading this...
I hope you realize that you can experience more out of life without the help of drugs and alcohol. You can experience it with all your senses...

I've been getting a lot of inspiration lately with my photography. Taking long walks is something I enjoy. I get amazing shots on my camera phone. (Yes, all the photography I have up on here is taken with my camera phone)
My friend, Erin, is amazingly photogenic. I got several pictures when we were just messing around with my make up and she found my sister's faerie wings. We had lots of fun... and I had lots of fun editing those pictures

It needs to be summer. I am sick of it being cold :/ brrr.

Well, I hope you all are happy and well.
TTFN!

Wow. I can't believe it's more than half way through the school year. I haven't posted much art on here lately. I guess keeping up with school is kinda difficult. *curses at the IB program* I will try to get some more photography on here soon. I promise.
Life has been treating me well this year so far. I have had a few road bumps... such as friends trying/doing drugs and such. I find it very stressful to think about. It's upsetting to know that my friends are willing to put their life on the line just to get high. It's not 'cool' to kill yourself faster. I have never tried it and never will.

I didn't get the Canon Rebel I wanted. Yes, I want a 700$ camera. but that's just me. It'll take awhile to save for it, I know. I am determined... (after I buy a new bridge for my electric violin of course.) Photography is something I do wanna pursue after high school.

My boyfriend and I have been dating since September (minus all of November... when he had to break up with me [stupid parentals] and then I met a sophomore at a "dance" [though, I played guitar hero the entire time but that's beside the point]... but I'll skip that story) anyway, I am happy with him. I feel bad for the sophomore though. He was really good looking and I see him a lot in the hallways or at lunch... that 'Hi' is always stuck in my throat. He probably thought I was a huge bitch anyway. (Kinda was though). Tis kinda funny about the random coinkidink tho... I found out he doesn't hate me though last night. Which I find a good thing. Having people hate me is something I'm not confortable with... I try and be friends with everyone

I am such a procrastinator; I should be doing Government homework now... *Curses upon Schulzki and his stupid homework* But I think dA is so much more fun than Government homework... don't you agree?

I am trying to be a better person this year. I feel like I've let down people and I just want to start over. I want to be able to have a clean slate. The people I've met this school year have helped a lot. My friends last year are not the ones I know and love anymore. Pot has changed them and I never wanna be a part of that. Moral of the story: DON'T DO DRUGS... PLEASE! I don't want to see any of you (yes, including the people I don't technically know) trying it.

I am working on more photography project and I need ideas. Any suggestions? I haven't had much of an inspiration but just keywords will give me an idea. It'd be much appreciated ^^

Thank You ALL!

High school is... well, high school. It has it's ups and downs... mine has been sideways. Everything that could go wrong, went wrong and everything that could go weird... went weird. Nothing has gone right.
The first semester has been... interesting.
Life has never been this difficult... EVER

Loves
1. off campus lunch DOWNTOWN
2. freedom
3. the new friends i've made
4. I have awesome sophomore friends now... most of which i met because of music similarities.

Hates
1. lost all my best friends
2. history class
3. I have almost NO life
4. drama drama drama

So, what i've learned so far is that sophomores can be really funny... and cool. I think the most interesting class of my entire day is Spanish. I hate the class... but i enjoy who i sit next to. We sit there being the nerds we are and stare at the errors in Spanish books They make me laugh
and i'd like to tell you the best thought process ever... are you ready? YOU BETTAH BE! are you prepared for this epicness? it is... Twas--> Twis--> Twisn't--> Twinkie--> Twinkies are gross... It was a real roflmao moment when i saw it
anyway... yeah, life sux at the moment... but there are moments like Lunch and Spanish class where my day gets THAT much more amusing

Hope everyone has an AWESOME thanxgiving break!
