If you want to see pictures of things I'm doing nearly every day, check out my Photobucket account here.
This photo album will NOT have edited pictures or any pictures that will be shown on this blog or DeviantART. These are going to be pictures from things like this year's colorguard, football games, and just hanging out with friends.
I'm updating it now with pictures from last night's football game & colorguard performance.
(PS. Tell me if the link doesn't work.)

No new photos today, but I have a new blog.
This may seem a little odd, but I decided a while back that at some point in my life I would write a novel. Whether or not it gets published is another story, but really, I want to write a novel.
So I started to.
I started this afternoon and I started another blog so you can keep up with my progress. There are a few things that I mentioned on the blog already, so check it out here.

OME! OME! OME!
Last night, at 12:01AM, Breaking Dawn was released. As I'm sure many of you have heard, Kelli and I went to these book clubs at Barnes & Noble, in order to get to the very front of the line for the book. Since Kelli and I don't need 2 copies of the book, Kelli gave hers to Kristi, and we were at the front of the line, somewhere around number 15.
Once I had the book in my hands, it was a race home with Kristi, so we could finally crack open the spines of the books and start reading. (We also hit every green light on the way home.)
Now, at 8:04PM on the 2nd, I'm on page 593 out of 756. I want to finish, but then again, I don't want to finish. This is the LAST book in this series by Stephenie Meyer. Sure, we have the movies, and sure, we have Midnight Sun, but it's not really the same after that. It's over, it's done, the end.
If any of you don't know TwilightGuy (Kaleb Nation), he's a guy who decided to read Twilight to see what every girl was obsessing over. (His website can be found here.) Since then, he's read the first, on Chapter 7 on the second, and well on his way to the fourth. He does these seriously awesome pictures for his website, too, which inspired me to do my own.
Here's TwilightGuy's:
I remember last December when I finished the third in the series and saying how August was so far away and it would take forever to get to Breaking Dawn. Since that thought, the front cover and three pages are going to fall out of Twilight. New Moon has hardly any damage- it's been read 4 times (2 by me, once by Kelli, and once by Shelley). I sort of feel bad for harassing Eclipse the way I did. It's split completely down the middle. The seam split, and the pages are falling out. But then again, I alone have read it 100,000 times, so it had a fulfilled life.

FINISHED!
Tonight I finished my shirt for the Breaking Dawn party. I think it turned out really well, and I'm excited to share it with Kristi. Kristi and I couldn't get together this week to make them, so we decided to make them separately, and then surprise the other. I'm excited to see what her's is like.
Now, the shirt says:
It's the thought that counts. I ought to know. / You are my life now. / Fall down again, Bella? / You compare one [tree] to an entire forest. / Do I dazzle you? / Twilight: no matter how perfect the day, it always has to end. / I could throw in a few extra homicides if it makes Jasper happy. / Time passes. Even when it seems impossible. / Bella's all about extreme sports these days. / Do you want me to bolt the doors so you can massacre the unsuspecting townsfolk? / I'm betting on Alice. / Death shouldn't be this uncomfortable. / Forbidden to remember, terrified to forget. / Fire & ice. / I prefer brunettes. / We're a bit sensitive to blood around here. / I can imagine how that must feel. Being normal? Ugh. / You're always curious. / Stupid, shiny Volvo owner. / Bells, we're up to bat.
Also, I know that I spelled quite a few words wrong, but I can't fix it now, even though I've tried. They aren't that obvious unless you sit there and stare at them for ten minutes straight, though.
Only one more day...! :]

Twilight Shirt
In case you don't know about Twilight, it's a book series by Stephenie Meyer about a 'forever seventeen' -year old vampire (Edward) who is drawn to a human girl (Bella)'s blood. Blah blah blah, they fall in love, the end. And that's just the first book.
After Twilight, it's New Moon, and after that it's Eclipse. I read those books last December by suggestion by my friend Cindy when we were Christmas shopping for friends at Target, literally three days before school was out. I got New Moon for Christmas, and realizing how addicting the books were, I bought Eclipse before I even finished with New Moon, just so I could read them faster.
Now, in 3 days (and counting), on August 2nd, the fourth and final book in this series will be coming out. The last book, Breaking Dawn, is a huge event for, not only me, but for 93% of the female teenage population in the US. Therefore, my friend Kristi and I are going to a release party at Barnes & Noble (so I'll have it 10 minutes after it's release). I made a shirt especially for the occasion.

I understand that it's probably not really easy to read (or understand if you haven't read the books), but it's quotes from the series. I'm not done with the shirt yet, (I still want to finish the front and the back, if I have time), but I just thought to give you a little taste of it before-hand.
It says:
It's the thought that counts. I ought to know. / You are my life now. / Fall down again, Bella? / You compare one [tree] to an entire forest. / Do I dazzle you? / Twilight: no matter how perfect the day, it always has to end.
I still have a ton of other quotes that I want to add, including:
Time passes. Even when it seems impossible. Even when each tick of the second hand aches like the pulse of blood behind a bruise. It passes unevenly, in strange lurches and dragging lulls, but pass it does. Even for me.
I just thought that I would share with you some of my shirt for the Breaking Dawn party, and I would also like to encourage you to read the Twilight series. They really are quite addicting.
PS: I am aware that I misspelled "Twilight," and I did fix it on the shirt. :]

For Aunt Peggy...
Mom had told me about 15-20 minutes ago that Aunt Peggy had wanted to know how I edit the pictures and what kind of camera I use, and other questions like that. So here's the answer to those questions:
How I Edit:
I don't really like to edit the pictures much, because I think it takes something away from the original scene/person/etc. Therefore, I don't use masques anymore like I use to, and I really only change the brightness (since I tend to mess up the white balance), the contrast and sometimes the hues of the colors. After that, I just add the watermark, and it's done.
The Editing Software I Use:
I use a program called Photofiltre, which is the French version of Photoshop. It works just as well as Photoshop, but I think it's less cluttered and easier to use. It's a free download, and you can get it here.
My Camera:
I use a Sony Cybershot DSC-S700. It has 7.2 megapixels. It's silver in color. (See picture.) Like I previously mentioned, I really want a Nikon D40 or D60.
Career:
Despite the fact that I have a lot of nature pictures, I really want to be a fashion photographer for a magazine, preferably one that I read now (GL, Seventeen, CosmoGirl or Teen Vogue). I also want to do freelance photography on the side, since I like to take pictures of nature.

By the way, I got my dress for my 16th party in the mail today, and once I look semi-decent (I just got home from band camp), and the dress is ironed, I'll do another self-portrait of me and it and add it.
