I don't know how I feel.
A lot of crazy things happened today and tonight. I don't think I've processed half of it - this morning feels like a week ago.
20 things about me -
(the first 20 i think of)
1 - I'm left-handed
2 - I'm supposed to wear glasses. I'm actually pretty blind without them.
3 - I started playing the piano about ten years ago.
4 - At the moment i'm contemplating taking a arts media degree at unisa - all I have to do is convince myself that i'd be good enough for it.
5 - I love my german class.
6 - I wear a lot of grey for some reason.
7 - I'm half german.
8 - I'm going to live in Hamburg for 10 weeks at the end of this year, as the second part of an exchange.
9 - I've been single for almost a year.
10 - I favourite too many things on flickr.
11 - I procastinate a lot.
12 - I'm really claustrophobic.
13 - I love traveling, a lot.
14 - I think that happiness is the most important thing a person can have.
15 - I'm very introverted and very quiet when I first meet people.
16 - I sneeze wierd.
17 - I probably AM wierd.
18 - I can't wait to move in with my best friend.
19 - My hair is naturally blonde and curly.
20 - I don't seem to get much schoolwork done, ever.

Me trying to explain why i prefer film photography -
I never used to. I used to be really into macro and bokeh photos, and really want a DSLR camera.
A few years on and now I love film. What I'd like to be able to do with my photography is capture the atmosphere of a candid moment - that's my goal. I think that's easier to do with film, somehow.
Okay, my thoughts are jumbled, I'll just make this into a list form here on in.
Reasons why film is better than digital:
- You get more quirks and imperfections on film, that can only be imposed onto digital photos - they aren't natural on digital photos
- I just think films more ... for lack of a better word, atmospheric
- Nothing beats the anticipation of waiting for film to be developed
- Film cameras are cheaper than a DLSR. It'd be nice to own a DSLR, but I'm sixteen and unemployed. So.
- It just seems more real
- If something goes wrong with your computer or whatever - all your photos are gone forever. Whereas I have a complete draw of film I've had developed.
- When you carry around a film camera, you're more careful of what you take shots of. Which, for me at least, seems to improve my photography
- There's probably more things, but I want dinner now
ps - I actually researched this blog! - and loved reading http://www.kenrockwell.com/tech/filmdig.htm :) - you might not if you aren't really into photography haha

There is this girl on my train
who I see every day after school. She always seems sad but today she's
smiling and it's beautiful.

Excerpt from my myspace blog.
And I quote, "the value of education is priceless. You should always be
doing something to stimulate your mind, whether it be reading, writing,
or just surrounding yourself with intelligent people and knowing what's
going on around you"
It never really stops, does it.

Tim burton alice in wonderland?
Looks alright, i suppose. But can it seriously be better than this?
I don't think so, the original is fucking sweet!
Stumbled across this while writing a history assignment.

The plan -
a) getting over whatever hormonal fucking teenage problems that my 16 year old brain thinks is the end of the world
b) GET A JOB, EARN SOME MONEY
c) BUY A GOOD CAMERA. To say that photography is my passion, would be an understatment. I can't even, begin to describe what it means to me. (I don't remember if I already talked about this in a blog, but) my beautiful film camera is almost broken. Fuck it, I'll buy disposable cameras until I can afford a new dslr and a new film camera. Because they're what I want, the most. I just want to document my youth. And then, document the rest of my life. I don't know, it's important to me.

Fuck, what the fuck
I am in one of those moods where everything's getting on my nerves.
My brother just cleared his throat and I wanted to scream at him for it. My shoulder's insatiably itchy, my hands are cold, my foot is dead, my head is killing me, and - at least for the meantime - I can't feel anything except negativity.
Fuck it, fuck everything.
I want to sleep and never wake up, fuck, I don't even have a shoulder to cry on, and that's all I need.

This will probably ended up being like an extended about me
Because, i'm just in that sort of mood. But i don't wanna think about my mood.
That subject was a shit idea actually, because now i have no idea what to write, haha.
I'll just write, because I can't deal with talking to people at the moment. Normally i'd be writing into my diary thing, but I can't really by fucked handwriting tonight. Um yes.
Um. So yeah. How about that weather, huh? I'll think of something to say pretty soon...

I'm at an internet cafe
in Geelong, I don't know how many minutes I have left so I'll make this brief.
My birthday was amazing, this holiday's been amazing. Amazing, I'm so fucking happy.
I just bought In Defence of the Genre, in case you didn't notice, I love Say Anything. I can't wait to get home and listen to it :D
And i'm flying home tomorrow night, I sort of miss Adelaide but don't tell anyone

Top five most interesting things that happened to me today (in no order):
1 - On the bus home, the guy sitting across the aisle from me had a really obvious boner the whole bus-trip.
2 - At work experience (yes, new place today), I spent nearly two hours filing invoices - my OCD organised neat freak alter-ego took over and I loved it.
3 - I met the most appealing man in the world.
4 - I discovered a love for dragon eye tea - virtually no caffeine, a lot more antioxidants than normal tea = mega-healthy.
5 - Had a photo idea (not that it'll ever work out how I imagine it) but it's of a person, sort of leaning over, maybe into a toilet, and is either making a face as if they're throwing up or putting their hand in their mouth to make themselves throw up. But you know, not actually vomitinig. then in photoshop i wanna photoshop words to be coming out of their mouth. Get it? Word vomit? It's pretty lame.
