A Celebration of Contemplation

Day 059

Tue, 18 Nov 2008 02:09:06 GMT

I finally switched my sim card from my dinky phone to my new/old hand-me-down phone from my dad. Even though I've borrowed this phone lots of times to browse the net at restaurants or whatever, IT IS STILL SO CONFUSING. The first time I called John with it, it was on accident.
But anyway, I got a Dove chocolate wrapper that said "You're allowed to do nothing" so I took a three hour nap and am using a crappy photo for my 365! ;)

Day 058

I've had this Eeyore shirt since seventh grade. I went through a period of hating it in junior high, but I love it again.

I worked on my sculpture for five hours today. It was a pain in my ass. But it's done.

This is how I felt about today. My sculpture is kicking my butt.

Timewarp Tuesday

Wed, 12 Nov 2008 02:49:18 GMT

If you've been my friend for over five years, you'll have already seen these ;) These are from November of 2003 taken with a webcam, when I was in ninth grade and fifteen years old. I actually had my computer in my closet and my "chair" was a huge pile of pillows...I did this so I could read LoTR slash in private. I don' think I look that much different.

Day 049

Sat, 08 Nov 2008 02:09:29 GMT

If you haven't noticed by now, I'm a total homebody. It's not usually as lonely as most socially outgoing people think it is, but today I really miss John. It's been a long week.

Look at me! I'm working ahead on a project!

Day 044

Mon, 03 Nov 2008 04:34:08 GMT

I am way too tired to put in a good effort into the photo for today. I did a senior portrait photo shoot then spent the rest of the day hanging out with my cousin. It was eventful and now Daylight Savings Time is making me super sleepy.

Day 043

Sun, 02 Nov 2008 01:55:03 GMT

Before and after (before photo taken by my sister). I cut nearly 10 inches off of my hair!

Thanksgiving Icons

Sat, 01 Nov 2008 18:32:33 GMT

I made some Thanksgiving icons this morning because I realized I didn't have any specifically for Thanksgiving. One thing this 365 project is teaching me is to appreciate the seasons. Last year before Halloween I was already way excited for Christmas and didn't really take the time to truly enjoy Halloween or Thanksgiving. This year I AM excited about Christmas, but I'm trying to live more in the current holiday rather than wishing time would speed up. I've even made some rules for myself regarding Christmas so that I don't get caught up in it ahead of time:
NO Christmas music
and NO Christmas books
UNTIL the first snowfall in November (or the day after Thanksgiving if it doesn't snow)
AND NO Christmas icons until the day after Thanksgiving.

Halloween 2008!

01.
Dmitri doesn't appreciate my love. Photo taken by my sister.

02.
My sister (who is dressed as a girly pirate!) and I visited Mom at the hospital (she's a physical therapist), who was dressed up as a patient. She even has the hospital bedhead! Photo taken by a nurse.

03.
In true Halloween fashion, it rained again, but there was enough of a break between showers that Kim and I took photos in the park. Photo taken by my sister.

04.
Photo taken by my sister.

05.
Photo taken by my sister.

06.
And I went to a party that my nerdy friends held tonight, but most of the pictures turned out like crap because they were mad at me for using flash, so no photos for you guys.

07.
Anyone remember this wig? I borrowed it from a classmate and wore it for fun at District Drama in the fall of 2006...turns out it belongs to one of the co-hostesses, and I got to wear it again! Along with another party goer's hat. Photo taken by Elisabeth.
