INVISIBLE TO TELESCOPIC EYE

had a crazy amazing day. i'm so low on clothes i meant to go shopping (it would be good to have more underwear, shoes that were waterproof, school uniform, warm shirts... and some glue and phone top up) but i took the new camera and ally and i did a street photography/portraits project. some of the shots we are so eager to see, others could have been better, i just hope to god the camera still works and the 5-years-out-of-date film isn't too bad. it's been sealed in the cannister, right?! we shot scene kids and crazy kids and most of the staff of a tatoo shop who posed in front of their sign etc (they were so nice!) and some amazingly dreadlocked people in a park.

i still feel so happy.... drawing a random character, reading war of the worlds, listening to fields of the nephilim...

not to forget:
-photoshoot in halfway town
-go visit interesting old man on bus when he opens his antique watch repair shop in town
(anyone who claims 'to study time' must be awesome)
-finish film. develop photos. learn more.

lesson from today, randomly repeated by multiple people: live life to the full!

the film i finished off with my grandparents was fine for the photos that were already coiled up on the roll, but the unused film had been exposed to light and the photos didn't process. ah well, no big. my uncle thinks the old ones i'm using now might be useless too, but i might as well have a go; my grandparents now have the only new film and i can't get any sooner. luckily it isn't tooo expensive getting the photos processed either.

i took two photos of zeke that i think might be overexposed, one of georgie and rhian which i think might be underexposed and one which would have been better, i think, had georgie not suddely moved :DDDD i used the telephoto lens too for the ponies, when they got bored and i started packing up again and dismantling the lenses georgie was all "WHAT ARE YOU DOING? i'm pretending i don't care but i want to eat your new camera!". hehehe.

still waching barncam... the internet broke and i was all "bet she's having the foal NOW. IN DAYLIGHT."

...and worked on a new character, ruby <3 i might turn calic into izaac, just to see how it works... there's no point in holding out for an SD izzac, that would take years and i plan to buy another 1/4 doll when i can afford it who would know izzac, and i really want that 1/4 sculpt. then none would fit and it's stupid plans to make, involving money i don't have... so i might as well use calic as a character i have way more inspiration for, and honestly just seems like an updated version of calic anyway.

-my grandma extended loaned me my grandad's slr, so i am sweet looking forwards to learning to use it... holy shit changing films, no lcd screen, limited exposures... this is going to be fun.

-hell yes for masterplan (the band).

-silverfish are really awesome insects, we've always had them in the bathroom and i've always thought they were super cool and been careful never to squash them. i finally did some research and they ARE every bit as cool as i thought.

-today has been really scruffy for clearing out my sister's room but i think otherwise i'll be overdressed this week. YES it's the holidays :D

-lauren and me signed up to be 'eco reps' for our form. i'd like to think i contribute something worthwhile... so many people in my year are only into getting drunk and getting off. i don't have a problem with either but they never do anything else, it seems to be our generation's only feature, which is a bit pathetic.

-i really want a mnf woosoo/miyu *annoying doll want posting*.

-we're clearing out my sister's room and there's some freaky stuff from her 14 years of existance in there XD and lots of coins she's been able to put in her doll fund!

-need more plans for this week... it's true.

today we went on a road trip to sheffield, dave's car, with will and alex. it was great, dave had made plans a-c for getting into chaz's apartment and we used plan b, which involved edd and i sneaking into his building and letting the others in (there was drama, and walkie-talkies involved). we saw chaz and lucy and wandered around vintage clothes shops, it was great!

this evening i watched "tell no one" with my dad, i think it made the list of favourite films.

it was a nice week, went to see 'one man lord of the rings' for joe's birthday and there was a great opening act and then the real thing which was truly truly epic, stayed over at sarah's and her family are so nice. i love staying with people and catching a snippet of their family life. not to mention more childishly the novelty of a random bathroom and unusual breakfast cereals.

i'm staying up late in the hope of seeing the barncam mare foal, hehe.
http://www.appaloosa.org/livefoal.html
she shares my birthdate and year!
considering that she just left the stable though, i'm unsure as to my chances in this plan. i hope she's ok!

laptop;
Dell Inspiron 15 - memory and processor I'm happy with, screen and speakers not so nice.
Dell Studio 17 - memory I like, processor I am mega impressed with, fairly epic speakers, good screen, heavy/hot but not so concerned.
I'm not even paying but I'm not sure it's right to ask for the more expensive one, even though I know my gran can afford it and won't mind.
I'll talk to her tommorow, it would be freaking sweet to have the studio 17.

amazon voucher;
save for speakers/headphones to use with laptop (s.17 pretty awesome but dedicated are always going to beat laptop, right?)
a web of air pre-order
kyuss album?
riotgod album?
william gibson novel.

my camera was fixed under warranty and returned to me by my dad today.
the sun has come out.
today will probably be a lazy day when i can learn something new on my guitar.
there's a toad-thing in the icy pond.
my sister said she might pose for some pictures.
i had a riding lesson on heather! and she wasn't leaning so bad by the end, i wish i could ride her everyday and teach her not to at all.
i can invite people over for pancakes on pancake day!
happiness!

When I was about fourteen my sister made up an imaginary boyfriend that she pretended I had. He was an "eco goth" with green dreadlocks and his name was Humphrey. If I had a crush or anything she said he'd be jealous. I'm not actually sure there was much more to him than that >.>

So today I made one up for her XD When we got off the bus I was all "I know about your boyfriend." His name is Dai, he lives in our dad's town, we met him when we have our Saturday morning hot chocolate in the local deli (this may be totally made up but at least it's a detailed backstory), and all got along really well, then they were obviously really good friends so I pretended to be busy and they ended up going out (egotistic matchmaker much). So today I confessed that I knew they were together. He has emo-boy good looks and is half Asian, because I think she'd find that pretty, hehe.

"Elliott Andrew :Has just woken up with the words "two hookers and an 8 ball" written in block capitals across my chest... For anyone that knows what that means, i'm gonna kill you with a fax machine. Enough said"

Elliot is my fellow mindless self indulgence fan, and we have a sad sad habit of quoting our favourite crazy lyrics at one another. He was at the party I was at and I promised that when he 'passed out drunk' (his own cited intention) i'd write one on him, but not on his face, he'd had enough of face graffiti apparently. Well, I had to leave early, so I charged my friends with this solemn duty, and they obviously carried it out admirably.

( yay party babble )

Hehe, I glad they remembered it was "an" eight ball.... That amused me :D

the radio has background whitenoise that sounds like the sea
(it's only on for background whitenoise, it's a programme about h&s liability).
i'm off school sick, but getting better touchwood!
drinking lots of fizzy drinks and eating toast.
i watched so many new people on DA today, after my big clear out i started to miss having so many photos to look through.
i filled my birdfeeders,
and learnt that i don't weigh enough to give blood.
(i have a healthy weight, none of which is muscle sadly, but am just a little short of what they need >.>)
which is really annoying because apparently i'm type O negative and it's uber-useful.
(as well as well as well as being the name of an awesome band).
mmm-hmmm, i wish they'd call up about my camera, i miss it and it's been longer than they said.
i guess i could call them today...
