Katy Perry's image of waking up in Vegas is not nearly close to mine

I had a photo trip with my Dad a couple days ago, so I'll have aplenty coming from that one. I finally got to visit our local Urban Outfitters, which I must say was not as cool as the one in SF. But that's because it's SF. AP scores are in (GMH), and the next thing coming is a retake of the SAT I's. The college admission process is upon me, and it's full speed ahead! Photography keeps me kind of sane at times, though. I'm glad I have that, no matter how much I do enjoy school.

Harry Potter comes out in 3 days! I'm putting a counter on Chromaphilick. YESSS. Emma Watson's going to school here in the US. I wonder where. I joked with my mom that wherever she goes to college, I'll definitely pick that one. haha. Yeah, we'll see. Can you tell I'm in HP obsession mode again?

woahhh

my gosh, i love fruit.
they're basically what i've been eating.
especially nectarines :)

& i recently discovered all these different types of watermelon.
i already know about the basic red fleshed ones in their different sizes, as well as the yellow & orange ones.
also the cubed kind & i've had the special densuke kind.
but tony tells me there are white fleshed ones (cream of sasketchewan) & that there's one called the moon & stars melon.
mindblowing.
well not really.
are there any others that i don't know about?

still packing

i haven't really said much lately.
much of it has to do with the fact that i've been a very very busy youngin'.

i got home early on tuesday morning.
& i'm leaving again today.
i still have to pack fresh clothing.
& i'm really craving tarts.

i've been going back & forth between different places for a while
& it'll stay that way for the next month or so.
so much fun! but oh so tiring.

My Fourth

This is what came about on my Independence Day.

I spent 4 hours at the DMV. man... But I had a ton of reading done. I'm readying Slaughterhouse Five right now. And my, is it interesting to read. Now I see why Vonnegut is admired as such a great writer.

I have a new pair of aviators and they make everything look lomo.

Happy July 4th!

Last year's

Without the Founding Fathers, we wouldn't have the chance to get pictures like this:

so consider yourself lucky! And you are.

my Harry Potter obsession is renewed. I spent like 2 hours this morning perusing Mugglenet and HPTrio. IT's going to EPIC.

Not bad for a Tuesday

I was one lucky girl today to meet Harry Reid. Yes, THE US Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. Today was his event on sustainable energy at the Springs Preserve, and I was lucky enough to be there.

He did a TV interview right in front of me, so I had a chance to snap some close ones.

My goodness does he have a firm handshake.

then...

On to Makino's!

May I suggest a little Wintersleep? Listen to Weighty Ghost and try not to get hooked. It's powerful stuff.

sashimi:)

Guess what?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MAI!!!

Embrace it

Transformers was EPIC

In light of what has happened this week, we are reminded that life is a precious thing, and that to live your life in the fullest is nothing short of incredible. Carpe diem.
