My Writing Mind

Oh, Look Who's Alive

2011-12-31T00:54:00.003-05:00

A menagerie of stuff has happened since my last post. Unfortunately, that includes1. I forgot my friggin' password for Google. How is this possible? I have no idea, because I basically use the same password for EVERYTHING.2. School work has finally ended, grades are finally in, and after weeks of intense fear of college failure, I got some pretty decent grades. Crisis averted.3. My laptop got

NaNo 2011 part 2

2011-11-30T22:36:00.002-05:00

Heh, I apologize for my sudden absence during the most important month of the typosphere's calendar, and I really don't have a reason for it except for sheer laziness.Still, NaNo 2011? Finished. Won. 56,277 words! Holla back ya'll!Now, excuse me as I whimper at the amount of schoolwork I have yet to finish.

NaNo 2011 part 1

2011-11-04T19:47:00.003-04:00

Well, four days in and it seems I'll never get anything done. Writing is the last thing I feel like doing, which is a HUGE disappointment. Maybe something will spur me into movement, but right now, even writing this blog post is a test of my will.Obviously, I'm failing.I'm hoping I can pull myself up by whatever body parts necessary before the word counts leave me too far behind.

reOrganized

2011-10-25T17:27:00.003-04:00

I've sorted out my desk space to fit my Underwood Blue-Baby next to my ever-illuminated computer screen. It's a bit inconvenient to type, as I'm slanted (pictures to come, surely), but it helps that I'll have to actually MOVE to try and type on my computer. I can only hope that it will at least stem my ever-present desire to procrastinate, especially since I can still look at the screen, instead

Everything is Happening at Once

2011-10-23T18:42:00.005-04:00

Papers to write for the end of the semester? Check.Weekly discussion questions? Check.Two presentations for the month? Check.Tons of ceramic objects to make before the final crit? Check check check!I could go on, but, it's ridiculous.And, of course, what I'm doing instead of getting all that done before November and having a breakdown before the end of NaNo (will that get me out of school?

Oh, How I Wonder

2011-10-20T18:39:00.004-04:00

Sometimes, I sit and wish I had much more deep, intelligent, provoking thoughts to put in my blog.And then I remember I'm a college Senior and I don't give a damn.Yup.I've been brainstorming for NaNo, and I'm worried already. Though, to indulge the problems that are soon to arise, I've made it my mission to write a collection of interrelated short-stories that will make up a nice length novel.

I'm a Film!

2011-10-02T22:12:00.002-04:00

Ignored the random floor-cleaning commercial reference.I'm suddenly re-infatuated with my film cameras, and I've rigged my lovely VivitarUWS for double exposures. I'm not against hacking a plastic camera I spent too much on YEARS ago (and which, apparently, all the hipsters finally think is cool)Just as suddenly, I've made it my mission to develop my own color film. Black and white? That's so

Touch Typing

2011-09-23T11:10:00.007-04:00

I remember, right upon entrance into 9th grade, there was a new class on my schedule. Of course, I don't exactly remember what it was called, but I specifically remember spending hours a week "playing" a game; a game which taught me to touch type. It was the bane of my existence for two whole years, constantly being chided on my "low words per minute score." And me, being the lazy child I was,

Burn Out

2011-08-30T22:39:00.003-04:00

Well, now at Chapter 10 and hovering around 35k words, I've burnt myself out on the story arch I had going. What do I do? I start doing some weird sci-fi/supernatural/fantasy HOOPLA that makes utterly NO sense, but I'm enjoying it nonetheless. But now I have a half finished novel on my hands. I really hope I can think up a new idea to get that one started again, because, DAMN, I kind of really

Q is for Quill

2011-04-29T12:35:00.004-04:00

A bit ago, I went to Baltimore to go to the aquarium (which is always awesome, by the way), and as we didn't buy our tickets online, we have four hours to kill. I decided to spend some time in the large barnes and noble store that was there, and surprise surprise, I found something!A quill no less, with some amazing ink. Let me say that again, AMAZING ink. I love the ink that came with the quill

Thinking of Japan

2011-04-09T19:35:00.004-04:00

As most of you know, Japan is having some REALLY bad luck. Seriously. And as I am the type of person who is very empathetic to others, but has no money for donations, I've decided to not only help myself, but Japan in the process.I've decided to set up a website to sell reproductions of my paintings. (Why YES! I DO paint! Just add it to the list!) I'm donating some of the money from each print to

TGIF

2011-04-01T08:53:00.003-04:00

The first thing I've done this April (at 1 am no less) is buy thirty dollars worth of books for $0.13. Man, I love that.Also, for any of you who DON'T know, you need to follow The Typosphere Blog because it's amazing and lists just about every typosphereian that we know of. FOLLOW THEM, JOIN THE REVOLUTION!VIVE LA TYPEWRITER!!

Do I Look Pretty?

2011-03-18T17:13:00.005-04:00

I'm really tempted to start a fashion blog, but there are a few problems with that.1. I don't really like photos of myself2. Having pictures of me on the internet scares me3. I'm fat4. I'm so not fashionable it's not even funny5. I'm broke6. I wear the same things like...all the timeI think I might just have an addiction to creating blogs. For some weird reason, I just really like to make them.

Technology Can Kiss My -

2011-03-16T21:12:00.004-04:00

All my creativity?Vomited up onto a Works document (even worse than a Word document) then vaporized in one, helpless, Ctrl + V.And this is why I use a Fudging typewriter.

Ho Hum

2011-03-14T17:55:00.004-04:00

I'm bored, so I've been trying to think up some names for my typewriter duo. It's a lot harder than I thought it would be.I'm really tempted to name my blue Underwood Baby, because I love that thing to death. Of course, I need to USE it, but I don't have a desk, and (list of other excuses here).I want to name my DeLuxe something alluring yet dark. Really dark. But at the same time all I really

The Best Cake You'll Ever Eat

2011-03-10T19:10:00.005-05:00

I have just made and consumed the most amazing cake in the world. I really wanted to make chocolate cupcakes, but when I saw this recipe on TheKitchn I knew I had to make it. It was already vegan, and I knew it had to be good if it made it onto the website, so I adjusted to make it gluten-free as well.It's some Depression-Era "wacky cake," which immediately held my interest. My love of weird

Used Book Stores

2011-03-08T22:21:00.005-05:00

I got to have hella fun today thrift shopping with a friend, and amist the unmatched bone china and musty cardigans, I managed to spend not too much money and get some nice things. But what I must say, is that I found a book on how to learn Russian, and I bought it. Oh yes.I have this idea that one day I'll continue to teach myself French, and maybe learn Japanese, Old English, and now...Russian.

Yesterday Was My Birthday!

2011-02-25T19:11:00.004-05:00

So, happy birthday to me!I also ate too much cake, and now I've been sick all day (I have a dairy intolerance that has morphed to the one dairy thing I thought I could eat a month ago when I premade my birthday cake: egg whites) Other than sleeping and feeling horribly about it and not being able to eat anything, it's given me plenty of time to write a whole bunch of nonsense that is slowly

The Gothic

2011-02-22T22:11:00.003-05:00

I'm being drawn back to Gothic literature again, and as I have no interesting books to read (and no money to buy them) I've figured it'd be a great idea to make my own. I was a bit upset about the stereotypes and the obvious plots and settings and characters...but then I got over it.I'm comp-typing this one just to get it out, then I'll probably type out each chapter on one of my typewriters and

Helios M44-2

2011-01-13T12:33:00.004-05:00

So, I finally got my grubby little hands on the Helios of my dreams, only to find when it got here that the aperture blades are ridiculously oily, and my local camera store won't clean them because they're big corporate sell outs.Well then.On a dangerous adventure to clean the blades myself, anyone have any advice?EDIT:Nevermind, I found the repair instructions! I had seen it before, but couldn't

Just My Luck?

2011-01-09T19:09:00.002-05:00

Oh woe is me. The lock on my Olympia DeLuxe case is stuck in on one side. I can't move it, and I've resorted to beating it with hardish objects.OH WOE IS ME

The Time Has Come

2011-01-06T09:05:00.002-05:00

It's time for me to bust out the Olympia and get some words down. All I needed was a little free time to read for pleasure. Hopefully I'll be a word fiend these last two weeks of winter break.My novel. It will get written.Though I forgot what it was about at this point.

Happy Thanksgiving!

2010-11-25T23:46:00.002-05:00

Technically it's still Thanksgiving, so I wish you all had the best.I went to New York and saw the Macy's parade, which entailed getting beaten up to and from the subway and other ridiculousness.I also didn't have to do any cooking, which has made me extremely happy.

NaNo Blues

2010-11-06T13:27:00.006-04:00

Once again, I'm not doing NaNo this year. I don't know how people with full-time jobs do it! Being a college student, maybe I'm busier than I think I am, but I do not have time to write a novel this month. Next month, totally. But not now.With the end of the semester wind-down (which isn't until December anyway...) all my professors are piling on work and projects and papers and things that make

Trainwreck? Carwreck? Just a Wreck?

2010-10-06T19:02:00.002-04:00

I know I haven't blogged in such a ridiculous amount of time. Unfortunately, I don't have anything to tell you. I know, it's sad.I haven't been writing because I've been doing magazine article stuff, running around crazily, taking exams for midterms, and trying not to shoot myself in Economics class. Fun stuff.However! Fall Break is pretty soon, and if I don't feel completely wiped of all

New Price for Moleskines

2010-09-10T07:34:00.003-04:00

While I was browsing around B&N.com, I noticed the Moleskine section was a little different. Not only are there less to choose from, but they've lowered the price (probably temporarily) to a bit under $10 for a small. I didn't look at the others, but I assume everything went down about $3. Just in case you want a Moleskine that is.

EMERGENCY!

2010-08-29T19:28:00.007-04:00

Guys guys guys! I know I just posted, but I had a wonderful idea. For my sisters birthday (Sept. 18) I've decided I want to get her a typewriter. But, I don't know what to get her, so a list of questions are going to proceed this post, and answers would be very helpful!!1. Do they even make typewriters for children?2. If yes, what kind?3. If no, are there smaller typewriters around somewhere? *

Potential for Mediocrity

2010-08-28T22:04:00.006-04:00

I was going to give you guys a nice post about my soon-to-be Moleskine pocket journal, however, the Barnes and Noble website has decided to send my little mind into a tailspin. The website glitched out, and instead of me paying a quaint $1.87 with the eBay money left in my PayPal account, suddenly I'm left with a credit card charge of $27. I don't even have a credit card. S'wha?I'm at a loss, as

Let Down, Let Up

2010-08-14T12:43:00.002-04:00

Just to tell you know, that is a completely pointless post. I just like the difference between English and British. (don't even start)"Let" mean "for rent" on most occasions, which amuses me greatly. I mean...if I tried to do that in American English it totally wouldn't make sense. "I'm going to let my car" would be completely stupid, but the grammatically correct way to say "I'm going to rent my

I MADE A BOOK!!

2010-07-27T17:28:00.005-04:00

AND IT DOESN'T SUCK LIKE MY LAST TWO!!Yea, ahem. I have this thing for making books, binding them and everything, and this time I bit off way more than I could chew, then chewed it too quickly! But by some miracle I got it done, and it's lovely! However, my back still hurts from standing all day staining about 88 pieces of paper. Still, here it is in it's 352 page glory!I think it's lovely, and

Worried and Non-Related Excitement

2010-07-18T21:06:00.004-04:00

I'll start with the "worried" first.Possibly a bit irrationally, I'm worried that my blog's content is nosediving. And I'm not sure if I should just shut up, or continue to mindlessly ramble about junk day after day. I mean, I can't even be bothered to write up a post on paper and scan it in. I don't want to use my typewriter. And I'm not sure if I can blame this on my short attention span to do

Another Kind of Release

2010-07-11T22:33:00.003-04:00

So, instead of writing, I've turned back to abstract painting. It's nice enough, and I've always wanted to go to art school and be all "artsy" (but felt too bad to make my parents pay $40k a year, so I didn't), however, every time I paint I have this lame feeling that I'm wasting my time. Like I'm not good enough. I can't sell my art, no one wants this, I'm practically ripping off Franz Kline and

I have no idea where my novel is going, but at least I have the prelude done. It was short, it's narrated by an unknown character, and the pretentiousness is palpable. I love it dearly.Sadly, I don't know if I was to continue on with the 1st person narrative, or switch to 3rd. I could easily write more pages with this narrator who is so dear to my heart, but I get bored. Really bored. And I get

A Novel Idea!

2010-06-15T17:05:00.003-04:00

For some reason, I'm full of puns currently, but I'll try to keep them to myself. I hate cheesy puns just as badly as the next person. Anyway, I've suddenly come up with a lovely, shiny-new idea for a novel, which is going to come into the world with the Olympia. I've barely got a plot, I have no character names, the the only setting is a manufacturing town in Germany. I know NOTHING about

The Maroon Olympia De Luxe

2010-06-12T16:59:00.008-04:00

So, I got it at 10% off (that lady was FIRM, but $18 isn't bad considering what I paid for my Underwood blue baby) and it is currently banned to the laundry room until I give it a good clean tomorrow. But here are some pretty lame pictures anyway. Though I'll take pics of the progress tomorrow so long as it doesn't rain (as it's supposed to real soon right now). I love it already. :)I also love

Fate?

2010-06-11T18:37:00.004-04:00

I don't know if this is some kind of ironic luck, or fate, but I found an Olympia DeLuxe (SM-3? I dunno) at the antique store for $20. It's reddish brown (seriously, this sounds eerily similar), and horrendously dirty and sticky and gross. But nothing's wrong with it, and I'm tempted to go back tomorrow and see what I can do. I was driven out by store associates (lol) and didn't get a good look,

Resurrection

2010-06-10T11:29:00.002-04:00

The title might be a bit over dramatic, but my week of computer abstinence is over, and it was lovely. I read, I went to the library, I thought. Yes, thought. I never noticed before, but I used the computer to keep from thinking, to constantly entertain my brain, and when it was gone, two days later I had my first thought. It was amazing, and hard to describe, but I'm so glad it happened.I also

I've decided to cease my addiction to the interwebz. They are bad for my health and for my personal life. And my bank account (curse you ebay!). And so, I'm leaving for a week.I'm not sure what I'm going to do, or how I'm going to survive, but at until my stuff comes in the mail, I am ONLY going to check my email once. I will thus turn off my computer AND my laptop, and hope that I find something

Vegetable

2010-06-01T19:45:00.002-04:00

I'm been literally vegetating in front of my computer screen for the past three weeks, mostly playing Sims 2 and downloading lots of custom content that might eventually make my computer explode. It's miserable, so miserable in fact I was motivated enough to apply for a job (not to mention my mom finally caught on that I practically hate working with her/being around her for more that 5 mins).

Creative Void

2010-05-22T10:16:00.002-04:00

I feel like my creativity has been sucked out of my brain through my stomach. It no longer exists where I can find it, which is depressing. How am I supposed to write my world famous novel if I can't even bother to put pen to paper? It's been...months. It seems like forever.Besides that, I have a stack of 24lb linen paper that I thought would be awesome for my penpals, but I misunderstood and

Now that school is over, I'm thinking I want to start something new. I'm currently re-watching Julie and Julia, only for the cooking (as I really, tremendously hate Julie because she acts 20 years younger than she is supposed to be, and it drives me INSANE).I think I want to start a cooking blog. I mean, there's lots of them out there, and I don't want to get noticed, I just want to share my love

2010-05-07T20:44:00.004-04:00

It feels really nice not to have any responsibilities at the moment. Of course, I'll surely be bored with it in about a week.Anywho, I decided to watch The Young Victorian (after trying to recreate a Victorian London-ish city on the Sims 2), and I must say, I am truly disappointed. So much could have happened in that film, and nothing did. Maybe it needed to be longer, not a movie, but like a

B&N.com

2010-04-25T13:01:00.001-04:00

Okay well, my last post was a bit of a lie. I decided I'm too impatient to wait to win another gift card, and there were no better coupons, so I got the peacock wax seal and the novel "Sleep, Pale Sister" by Joanne Harris instead. I paid a whole $0.60! Not too bad I'd say.And now that that's on the way, I need a penpal or something, because B&N says thier wax is flexible, which I assume means

As you can see, my pen decided to stop inking itself half way through, and once I cleaned it there was way more water trapped in the head than I thought. Watery ink! Yay!EDIT!!!I was hunting around B&N.com, and I have accumulated a nice amount of stuff in my cart. Sadly, I don't have enough to pay for it. (OH WOE IS ME!) However, at some point I'm going to get the darned price to practically free

It hit me this morning.A word of ADVICE: DO NOT EAT ONLY EASTER CANDY FOR FOUR DAYS STRAIGHT.

Sorry I've been absent. College life really zaps all my time. But now with the massive amount of snow that's supposed to be coming, maybe I can catch up on all my reading, and read something for FUN for once. That'd be really nice.Also, I've been watching season 1 of Charmed over and over again. I can't help it. But, I need to get ready for bed, cause class hasn't been canceled yet. So lame.

The books were $25 a piece, the bookmarks $6. All the books were 65% off, and all the bookmarks were 80%. I love sales, even though that really limits my chances of getting any good books in

FYI

2010-01-14T17:25:00.002-05:00

The copy editor for The Concubine's Daughter fails at life. Hardcore. I can't believe someone let this book pass.Not to mention the book sucks and shouldn't be compared to Memoirs of a Geisha, which rocks my world.

Yup. This is it. I quit. I throw in the towel. I give up. It's over. NaNo just isn't working for me right now. I'm so busy with near-the-end-of-the-semester work (aka sh*t) that I just can't devote enough time to even try and get up to 50k words.

2009-11-03T08:57:00.001-05:00

No typewriter for me. I don't have the TIME. I do not have the time to bang out a few pages, scan them in with OCR, find paper to type on, find space for my typewriter, learn to type faster, ANYTHING. Oh woe is me. And here I am, sitting at this horrid computer screen writing literary analysis(es) and trying to plug away at my NaNo goal which I am SO behind on. Curse you November! Why must you

Zhenjuea-6 Fountain Pen

2009-10-08T17:19:00.004-04:00

My pen came in the mail! My pen. Came in. The mail! Imagine my excitement: I've been waiting for this pen since Sept 16th, practically hounding my mom every mail day with "Did my pen come yet? Is my pen here? Where is it?!" I know she's sick of me, and yet I called her when I found it, too excited for words other than "my pen's here!" I ripped the packaging to shreds, threw open the decorative

Dear Strikethru

2009-10-03T12:43:00.002-04:00

I am thoroughly impressed with Silent Type. I must say, you have done an amazing thing. It's so beautiful that there are no words for me to sat to describe how happy I was to find it in the mail. Congratulations on your wonderful journal! And everyone who participated, congratulations too! Amazing stuff. I have to go read it now.

Before you read, I have typos. It's "barnesandnoble.com", and if you can't tell, there's a "day", and "hear".Also, my scanner is lame. I have to unplug it, then plug it in before it actually scans anything!

Oh, Joy

ThisThisEspecially thisandThisYes, I am obsessed. No, I don't have any money. Yes, I would love for you to buy it for me and I'll surely play you back when I get paid.Today's my sister's 7th birthday (Happy Birthday dear sister!), not to mention FRIDAY so I don't have to go to class tomorrow! That's always a nice start. Which means I'll get caught up with House of Mirth, rewrite my psychoanalysis

Still Not Dead

2009-08-14T23:42:00.005-04:00

Do not be afraid.I have not died.Everything is fine.I've been gone a while, I know. And sadly nothing interesting has happened. I did have a little typecast all ready, but I never scanned it. Oops.Creativity has eluded me for such a long time. But things have suddenly started looking up. I have a boyfriend. Be shocked, go ahead. I'll give you a minute....All better? Okay. He has sparked all my

Heat Sucks

2009-06-14T19:05:00.003-04:00

You know what I hate? Summer. You wanna know why? It gets HOT! Ugh, I hate the heat. I swear, as soon as college is over I'm moving to Maine, or somewhere akin to it.Anyway, I'm going to sit at this computer, in the air conditioning that could be a lot colder, and watch the House marathon until my mom makes me do something else pointless and mundane, like the dishes, and cooking for the cook out

I want this. Badly. Coolest record player EVER. Ugh.I can't find cheap LPs to save my life! Ugh again! EBay is evil and wants over $20 for albums. I want albums for like, $2. Ha, why yes, I AM cheap!Went shopping today, because I have the monies! Woo! Bought some sunglasses that were on sale. My mom laughed, considering I already have like 5902843902 pairs. I have an addiction, I'm not going to

Long Time No See

2009-05-31T21:16:00.005-04:00

Sorry bout that.I've rediscovered my love for film photography, and have pretty much been dealing with that. Not to mention yard sales and making money. I got a call from GNC two days ago, I can only guess wanting an interview, and I haven't called her back. Curse you crippling anxiety! Curse you! I need this job! I will, however, suck it up tomorrow and call this person. I probably won't even

MY LIFE IS COMPLETE!

2009-05-13T18:13:00.003-04:00

My Nano book just came. Literally. I just ran downstairs and the UPS man had brought it! YAY! It's so shiny! And nice and book-like. Man, I LOVE it! And now, I'll have a kind of fake thing to say when my tarot cards come. I am so going to chicken out about them! D:AAAAH MY BOOK IS AMAZING~!Now I feel bad that I didn't really finish it.Screw it, my mom'll find out about the tarot cards, because

NaNo and Other Junk

2009-05-08T19:43:00.006-04:00

I've given up. I quickly wrapped things up, and sent it off to CreateSpace. It's technically finished, but it's pretty crap. I don't care either, I hate the thing. But at least I have a nice book copy that I'll laugh at with my "writer friends" when I'm older....maybe.I went to the book fair today, which was fun. Bought this HUGE book titled something like the Writer's Handbook or something. I

France and Glories

2009-05-04T19:51:00.003-04:00

I can't stop thinking about it. I want to move. To France. I will, I really will, and I hope that I'll have some kind of self-employed internet-based type job then. *coughmyetsyshopcough* I really am planning this now. Maybe I'll get a French boyfriend, and adopt a cute little kid, have a garden and sell pies to locals or something. Can I do that? I feel so naive. I kind of want to be a farmer...

I Need More Books

I made Blue-Blackberry pie after this. It. Is. Amazing. Old cookbooks are love.

Vintage

2009-04-30T21:40:00.005-04:00

I'm really into vintage lockets right now, and I finally found one. (well, two, but I was outbid on ebay by like, 2 seconds. D:) So I bought one for $5 just now. It's pretty. And of course, my mom doesn't understand why I wouldn't want a NEW locket. New just isn't....something's missing. The story, the spiritual feel. I consider myself pretty fair at sensing things like aura's and whathaveyou.

Mythbusters

2009-04-29T21:53:00.002-04:00

Yes, I am watching it. And heck yes they made a giant lego ball and pretty much destroyed it. MYTH BUSTED! N00bs!! But man, all those legos. It'll probably be on youtube soon, since it's a new episode. If/when I find it, I'll put it up. Maybe. As you can tell, I'm pretty bad at updating anything these days.BUT WHOA! Tomorrow is my last final for college, and I'll be jobless! I did put in

HUZZAH!

2009-04-03T17:18:00.001-04:00

I GOT MY TYPEWRITER BACK! I may be down $132.50, but I don't care. To my mom's dismay it still "stinks" but I don't care! It was ridiculously dusty, but I don't care! Cleaned it up, put it back in my room. I'm going to be sewing a cover for it soon.

Finally I'm Getting Progress

2009-04-03T14:59:00.003-04:00

I finally reached my pre-editing word count of 50,342 words. 50,691 to be exact. And most of this isn't crap! Yay! Now I just need to get to 100k and my life will be complete. At this point it doesn't even need to be good, just done before May so I can get my proof.I also bought some new pens! Pilot G2 gel pens in pink, purple, blue and green. They're nice. Very nice.

Oh, Woe Is Me!

2009-03-03T20:53:00.001-05:00

My oh my oh my. I was FINALLY called about my typewriter. My poor baby. It's staying at the people's place, because they're charging me OVER $130!!! What?! My mom called, very angry, and it's ALL LABOR charges! They didn't do ANYTHING. I can finally talk about it. Sheesh, I'm in shock. I don't have that kind of money.This is depressing. I miss my baby! D:

It took me...a full day to spell check that sucker, and now I'm sick of looking at it again. Haha.It's so unorganized. D:I miss my typewriter D:Lookit!

The Story of My Missing Typewriter Part 2

2009-02-12T12:32:00.007-05:00

I'm not too sure if I mentioned this before, but my mom says she packed up my typewriter with the Christmas stuff. I think she's crazy. But the more I think about it the more I realize that she might've went to get it fixed and she's just hiding it from me....my birthday's coming up soon, and every time I ask her about it I pretty much get blown off in that I-have-a-secret kind of way. My mom's

The Story of My Missing Typewriter

2009-02-01T09:53:00.000-05:00

Well, there is no story. It's just that my mom things she wrapped it up and put it away with the Christmas stuff. I dunno, she's crazy, but still haven't found it. I'd love to get a new one...that works really well, but I don't have the money D:I'm thinking a more modern one now, only because I don't really want the same style typewriter. Knowing me, I'd probably buy another underwood or

DUDE!

2009-01-07T10:57:00.003-05:00

I can't find my typewriter. D:That doesn't surprise me. But the problem is, is that I never moved it. I haven't touched it because well...it doesn't type well and needs to be fixed. And because I have no money. And because I need to make a cover for it but I'm still too lazy, and because I have a whole list of excuses. Three lists actually.My mom probably did something with it. Whatever.And it's

Camera

2008-12-17T19:19:00.004-05:00

Got it, it's awesome, just smells a little funny. But it's amazing, and I love the super clear telephoto lens. It's so amazing. I'm SO in love. Oh, and there was a used canister of film in it! I almost want to get it developed...then again, who KNOWS what'll be in it. The guy I got it from said he got it from an estate sale or something. Aaaah, it might be really awesome, or really gross...I

A New Camera

2008-12-09T18:03:00.000-05:00

I bought one. A Vivitar 400SL. Exciting!

Mmmmm Cameras

2008-12-08T17:29:00.004-05:00

I'm getting addicted again. And so, EBAY HERE I COME! OH YEA!!!!I'm so in love with cameras. I need a job doing some kind of photography. I don't even care what kind, I just need to do it. I love it so much. Except when my camera's get all pissy and don't focus right. That ticks me off, but it comes with the territory right? Yeah, I love my cameras.I really miss my Vivitar. It was so awesome.
