So it’s 5:20 in the morning on a Sunday in late September. Do people actually function at this hour? Ugh.
I’m up to go shoot some photos and it better be worth it! I missed the opportunity yesterday due to some horrendous nonsense, which is why I’m sacrificing my sleep (and hopefully not my judgment) for this. If it is worth it, I’ll be back to post some pics.
Maybe. 
*peaks out*
*looks around*
Soooo…. what’s goin’ on?
Updates equal, I iz married. WEIRD. All late.
Also, my camera was stolen. On my wedding day. Fuckers. Yes, I said it.
I want to write more. But I always say that. What else is new?
Maybe I should write an entry about the upcoming elections? But I have neither the patience nor the… ability to avoid cursing like a drunken sailor anytime the topic comes up. But perhaps I shall try. We shall see.
See you in… a couple months? Heh.
Till it’s officially GAME OVER. Holy mother of… Insane.
It’s weird to really think about it, that I’ll be married. It feels strange even to say it. Um yeah. Mrs.? I have no coherent words to type, just rambling thoughts of um, incoherence? Sure. Maybe I’ll come up with more later.
WEIRD.
Oh goodness. I don’t know what to do with myself!!
“So where do you go putting all these disparate pieces together? You know there’s a tremendous amount of wisdom in finding a great thing, passion in life and focusing all your energy on it. And I’ve never been able to do that. I just - you know, because yes I’ll focus passion on something, but then there’ll be something else and then there’s something else. And for a long time I fought this and I thought, well gee I really oughta buckle down. And you know when I was at Microsoft and that was so engrossing and the whole industry was expanding so much, that it did tend to crowd out most of the other things in my life. But ultimately I decided what I really oughta do was not fight being who I am but embrace it. And say, yeah you know, this whole talk has been a mile wide and an inch deep, but that’s really what works for me. And regardless of whether it’s nuclear reactors or metamaterials or whale sex, the common or lowest common denominator… is me.”
Yes please.
Dear Condoleezza (and others),
Today I took my little self to Chipotle in NYC and bought me a burrito bowl for lunch. With EXTRA rice. No beans. So there.
Love,
Little Brown Gyal
If you’re planning on getting married, and you’re doing the whole “wedding” thing, don’t. Elope. You’ll thank me later.

Mind you, there really wasn’t an address in the “to” field. Hmm, a bit suspicious eh? Not to mention, this appeared, twice, in my junk mail box in gmail. Ol’ gmail was like, dude, this shit looks like a phishing attempt, don’t be stupid and go there to give your personal info.
First of all, loove the subject line. Aww, Paypal wants to work Together with Me to Protect my Account. How valiant ! Now read the email carefully and tell me if you don’t notice anything… strange? Walid, indeed.
Me: “What a sucker!”
Vbunny: “Who?”
Me: “The heart.”
Vbunny: “Sure is. Give it a good smack, I say.”
This image calmed me after a crazy day filled with wedding planning stuffs. My first interpretation of it was “soft,” because that’s a new kind of shot that I’ve been experimenting with. (Love it, btw!) Then I came across the current week’s Photo Friday challenge, themed “fragile” and I think this fits perfectly into that theme.
I’m really digging this new style, as I mentioned to my friend yesterday, because I feel that it really leaves the image open to interpretation. To me, it inspires emotions and thoughts, and peace. Well, peace is an interpretation of the image. 
And I think it has helped spark some creativity as well. For a long time, I’ve been feeling that that creativity that I used to feel coursing through me, allowing me to write random stories and just spew off on topics, has shriveled up and left. Or gone into Super Hideout Mode. I’ve been doing photography for fun for the past 3 years, and sure that’s creative, but at the same time I feel, how creative is it really to take a photo of something that’s just there? You look at it and you say, oh that’s a blahblah and that’s that. But with something like this, you can look at it and say, oh that makes me feel <insert>.
Maybe I’m selling myself short. Or maybe I’m just in a phase. I think both. But I’m really happy with the latest shots. And see, they made me write all this stuff too!
