First of all, if you think I am full of myself, click out of this window right now. I am the happiest I have been in a long time, so let me float on my happy cloud, and you go play in traffic- no not really.

I am out of here. My month is going to be ubr awesome and chock-full-o-win. ^That's where I am going to be, and the best part is you won't! ^^ Not really, I will miss some of you, those of you who I will miss, you have my e-mail, the one at hotmail.com, please use it, e-mails make me feel missed and special and cared for.

I can only pack so much. A month's worth of clothing is a lot you guys. Especially when you have to take them to one place all at once, along with cameras, iPods, cell phone, laptop, and other various electronic devices, not to mention a violin. I might as well bring the horse next time too, he could be my pack mule. Speaking of Kodachrome, we went to our first show, and took third place in our division, by class we took a second and fourth on the flat and third in both jumping classes.

So things are going interestingly with photography I suppose. I was just given a host of features on several sites of several gaming forums. One of those friend of a friend type things. Anyways, yay me. I am also on the 15th Nikonist Feature. How cool is that!!! Finally, [link] go, check my stuff. You all obviously like it.

So anyways, I am gonna go pack and sleep and whatnot. I will talk to you all at some point. Try not to let my absence keep you up at night, no matter how much you miss me, I will probably come back.

I realized today, that the 2000's are different from the late 1900's.

1) Family bonding time is no longer family game night, it is now youtube.
2) Youtube.
3) We no longer show real emotion We also don't laugh, we lol, rofl, lmao, or in some cases roflmaool (thats rolling on floor laughing my ass off out loud).
4) We dnt spEk in rEl wrds, jst shrtnd txt vrsns... wtf, y do u do tht?
5) The word ass as an adjective. What the hell does a cool ass-ipod look like anyways?
6) The iPod... all of them, and OS X... iTunes... the iLivingExperience.
7) Cell phones. You can now do better, more interesting things while driving.
8) Txtmsging... More fun than dinner with friends.
9) Aim, msn, yahoo... much better for harassing your friends and also more interesting than the 1990's wasssupp commercials.
10) Being the weird kid is now cool... and straight men can wear girls jeans and nail polish and eyeliner without being gay.
11) You can have total disregard for all grammar and rules of English language, but you make fun of people who speak English better than you do... as a SECOND language because they have an accent.
12) We can turn on the news and see nothing but wars... the war on obesity, the war on intelligence, the war on common sense, the war on terror... the war on that godawful rap music.
13) We no longer have to know or discuss anything. There is always one of five answers... a) Google, b) yahoo answers, c) dictionary.com, d(urbandictionary.com; or e)the one where the average-joe decides what is fact: wikipedia.org.
14) Speel Check for your tuckinf gypos.
15) Microwavable foods, most specifically HOT POCKETS, of which the pepperoni pizza flavor/variety make me feel warm and fuzzy on the insides.

I am sorry for lack of updates, there has been a lot going on in my life. In fact, there is so much going on with me right now that I have not even told many of my closest friends, and many of you reading this journal would be shocked to know much of what is occupying my mind, which means no novel today. A brief summary: school- good and almost over, horse- good, art- tbd, social life- tbd.

I am going to be doing some traveling, and I am hoping to have something to show for it. Above there is a rough outline for where I will be going, as far as I know, for a majority of the summer. As you can see, I will be fairly busy in July, so I am not ignoring you, nor am I dead, just busy. I am not sure if I will have internet access in any of these places, so I apologize in advance if there are brief periods of mass uploading between when I get home and when I leave again.

:inserthumorhere: Like I said, there is a lot going on, and I am not quite myself. Once I get out and shoot a little on Sunday perhaps I will feel better and have more to say.

Oh, by the way I hit 4K today... thanks to `twexler for the screenshot.

I have much to tell you all... this time mostly goodnews

It has been nearly a month since I last spoke with you all, and much has happened.

As far as school goes, I recently won a statewide writing competition. A fairly good sized competition, and he funny thing is I did not put much effort into the piece. I even found a typo, because I went back and read it after they told me I won, I forgot what I had written. The next week I took a third in a state regional science student competition. I took third in ecology... ecospheres and biomes and symbiosis, oh my! I also have other academic news, but I am delaying that announcement for some time still.

Easter went off well, I almost killed my family. I almost gave them a heartattack when I showed up in a lovely white and blue strapless dress and white jacket, from Gap, as well as wedge heels. My mother's exact words were "Oh my, I do have a daughter after all" Now, I do not even know that i should be telling you all this, but I will. I wore pearls too, I mean pearls. I didn't know I owned pearls, let alone could wear them. So this Easter I basically looked like a brunette 1950's housewife. I looked good too though... moving on.

My epic quest for a horse is over!!! I am buying a 10 year old gelding named Cody. I am changing his showname, however, to Kodachrome (a brand of b/w film), because he is black and white. He is 16.3h (5'7") and weighs about 1500 pounds. He is a BIG BIG B-I-G boy. He passed his pre-purchase exam with flying colors, the vet loves him, and he comes home as soon as the insurance on him kicks in (it is always good to carry these sorts of things, as accident prone as horses tend to be). I am so very excited, hopefully I will have pictures soon.

I went out shooting over easter as well, and I have some new shots, all that is left now is uploading them, a process which is slightly different for me now, you see, I also just got a laptop. It is passed down from a family member who disliked it (who could ever dislike a several month old MacBook Pro?!). So I am still testing my limits in Leapord, and thinking about buying another camera. A little waterproof point and shoot, something I can personally victimize without having to worry about messing up my D80. One person compared it to a soldier not wanting to take their nice new expensive rifle to war, and mabe they are right, but this soldier cannot afford to break the trigger, or get water in the barrel of said nice expensive rifle.

I also finally launched my photography site. It is on another hosting site, but if I can start generating enough traffic, I might actually get something accomplished. The site is [link], if you have any suggestions, or like anything about the site, please let me know.

I have much to tell you all.

Starting where I left off, I have officially launched my sales site. I am using a preexisting host/browser site, but am very well considering using others as well. If anyone wants a link to said site, (to buy things , or simply just to poke around and leave helpful comments in a more professional setting, note me and I will send you a link).

Also on the subject of my photography, very exciting news. My (adoptive) art teacher is using my work to teach his students about perspective! Yes, several hundred students will be learning by examining my work, very very exciting, and also quite an honor. I am ecstatic about this at the moment. I was supposed to be there to deliver a flashdrive to him tomarro, but I was not present today due to feeling ill and several other health related factors. Luckily, he is not starting his unit until Tuesday, so there is time yet.

Lens, a lens, finally a non-kit lens! Yes, on Wednesday of last week I bought my first non-kit lens on ebay, for super cheap. It is (the new version, meaning it was made between 1990-1999) a Nikkor AF 28-85m f/3.5-4.5 telephoto zoom w/ macro feature. Yep, this baby is old school, heavy, and has an aperture ring. It is a bizarre little lens though. It is backwards, meaning the zoom rings are stacked opposite, and it zooms in instead of out. Odd odd old little heavy lens, but it has a fantastically solid and rugged feeling to it, and the glass is clear, so what more can one ask for.

Hmm, not much else I will be telling you about at this time, I have several announcements that are best left to later dates.

Help Pinkest-Princess with her peace project, a lovely cause, please all of you read and participate! [link]
