apologies for the serious lack of posts.
will be back shortly. with a vengeance.
in the meantime, you'll have to settle for pictures of food and florals.
i'm surrounded by both at the moment & they're all i take pictures of. tsk.
i don't know if that's good news or bad news, but it's news news.
p.s. a couple of people have emailed me a few questions; i will answer them soon, my friends.
soooooon.
So if you've been following Chromaphilick, you know that Zamaika loves desserts. I'm like the total opposite. I'd rather just take a bite, photograph the stuff, then be done with it. I can handle semi-sweet, but some cake is just too sweet for me to handle. If you've been following Chromaphilick, you'll also notice the dirth of posts. It's AP season, guys. Zamaika's last post explains it all.
My sister's bridal shower was a couple Fridays ago. The same Friday as Relay. Yeah, I took awhile to do anything with my photos. haha Anyway, look at the beautiful rose frosting pattern on the cupcakes. And the yummy stuff on the top. I don't even know the name of it. I also learned that fondant is, like, not edible. Unless you enjoy eating pure sugar. Then it's ok.
I think I've developed carpel tunnel really badly. But it should be better soon. I wrote 1.5 essays on Friday's USHAP and my hand hurt like crazy. =/
Have a taste of OK Go's new sound. I'm liking the cool guitar runs but the high-pitched Damian parts might need a little getting used to. The album, tentatively The Influence of the Blue Ray of the Sunlight and of the Blue Color of the Sky, will be out hopefully around September. It'll give me a boost to my obsession at the start of school. =D
NHS inductions was incredible. I'm so going to miss this year. But I'm looking forward so much to next. Everyone liked the slideshow, thank goodness. It's like the main reason for the carpel tunnel. Literally dozens of hours was put into that thing. I'm glad it all paid off though. I haven't seen so many people be as happy as that for a long time.
Pollution is disgusting.
I'm doing my research project on renewable energy/fuels. It seems everywhere you turn, there is someone new advocating going green. But sometimes it feels like it's all just hype, and some are not really into going green. They just want to charge you more by saying they're eco-friendly. Am I being too cynical? Don't get me wrong. I'm the first to tell you that the world's resources are depleting, that we need more viable and clean sources of energy, and that we need to stop waste. It's going to take a lot though, and it's going to be a big job. That's why I think I may go into environmental engineering. I want to save the world.
Here are some tidbits from my project (quoted directly from sources):
and so, i've come to a decision.
i've decided that i will finally finish my 'novel'.
i started writing it many years ago but i never did give it an ending.
i came across my old drafts the other day and i realized that now would be a good time to do so.
reading my older pieces of writing has made me realize that at my very core, i haven't changed very much.
my writing was as cynical and sarcastic as it is now, wittier perhaps, but the same nonetheless.
although there was one glaring change.
i think i was happier.
If you guys didn't know already, all that we knew about YouTube changed last Thursday. Okay, it's not really that bad. YouTube just needs to make a little more money and advertise a bit. John Green and Hank explain it all. I just hope this is not a step toward a less user-centered community. How can we get rid of Wong Fu, vlogbrothers, NigaHiga, KevJumba, CommunityChannel, HappySlip, OK Go???? The world would be in total fits if that were to happen. The world would probably implode or something...
I noticed something really random about how I take notes. One of my OCD things is that I have to put an arrow on the bottom right of my paper. I used to do it so that I knew my notes continued on, but I realized that's pretty much self-explanatory. Now it's just another one of my weird habits.
Throwing water balloons at teachers for money:priceless.
Ok, not so superexciting. We're on Spring Break though! Which would make you think we'd have a ton more posts to do since we're probably doing some exciting stuff over break. But for now, I have this Western tent caterpillar from Red Rock to show you. They're the twitchiest bugs I have ever seen. It was really quite disgusting to watch. So apparently, they make "tents", which look like spider webs. Can't explain. Total writer's block. Maybe it's better if you just look...
SAT scores tomorrow. eeeeeexciteddd. 7 AM and a couple of friends and I are going to check simultaneously over a three way. Yes, I'm THAT much of a nerd.
I'm trying to make the scrapbook for NHS, which I hope I'll be able to master by the end of the month. I had a few prints of pictures today. Costco's 13 cents/4x6 ftw! Scrapbooking tips, anyone?
Meet Meline, a cute indie shortfilm (found on Abduzeebo):
"Meet Meline" tells the story of little girl, named Meline, that will be faced with an extraordinary event. A strange little creature will appear on her life. The story follow this unusual encounter from the little girl's point of view.
