.. hiatus ..

i started this blog almost a year ago, i posted some in the summer and then fall came and so did my senior year of college, in full force.
needless to say here i am again. i will be better. for now.

why do i love Harry so?

At the stroke of midnight i will be getting the seventh and final book. i am so excited and sad at the same time. what will happen? will it really be over? i wish i didn't have to work tomorrow. please don't die harry.

tomorrow is the night.

Harry Potter and The Order of The Phoenix.





i am a little obsessed. i am flying to Monrovia so i can be with my sister and friends who are also obsessed. it will be a great day tomorrow.
did i mention i have a wand? i do.
dark cherry, 10 1/2 inches, unicorn hair.

the skydive.

it was amazing, you are really just falling out of the sky. i couldn't believe it, it was an amazing feeling. it was scary, intense and beautiful all at the same time. i really still cant believe i did it.

the jumpsuit was pretty awesome.

this technically isn't me but we will pretend. this is at least what we looked liked, falling out of the sky.

and then you land, i was fearing we would crash into the ground or something but we glided nice and slow.

this is my friend steve, he watched the fear in my eyes and laughed when the video guy asked me "any last words?" and i replied "i dont want to die." then me and my Tandem Master, Fish, fell out of the plane and into the sky. we free fell for about 50 seconds, that was intense, then Fish let me control the parachute, it was so good. i will do it again and maybe just maybe solo skydive. that will be the day.

i'm so going.

i am finally getting to SKYDIVE! i have been wanting to jump out of a plane since i was 14 years old. now 8 years later i will finally get to live my dream.
then why am i so scared?


this will be me tomorrow morning, hopefully i am smiling and not screaming and crying all the way down. wish me luck.

HAPPY 4TH BIRTHDAY! my little omi has grown up to be such a beautiful little girl. oh how she has grown. i remember when she was a little 2 month old and i would sit there and try to rock her to sleep. sometimes she'll still crawl up into my lap and want me to hold her like a "baby". time certainly has gone by so fast.

art.

my spring class ends this monday and then i will have the rest of the summer to play, work and play some more!
this work isn't from my spring class but from my Alternative II class this winter semester. it took me the whole semester to get my images to look right and to actually stay on the glass, when the image started appearing in the developer and i noticed it wasn't fringing off i danced in the darkroom. it was a happy moment.
