La la la

Long time, no blog, I know, I know, I know.

I was without my computer for almost 2 weeks, and so that contributed BIG TIME to my lack of updating.

But today, I got to do a great thing... I got to take engagement pictures!
I'm only going to post a few of them on here because they're supposed to be a surprise, but I need to share them because they're such an adorable couple, and it was so much fun to shoot!

I voted.

And I hope you did, too.
At this point, I don't even care if you and I have differing views, or that, if you voted for Obama in Indiana, you canceled my vote. I just hope you exercised your right to vote.
After all, as a friend pointed out, it's one of the last democratic acts in America.
If you didn't vote, well, I'm disappointed, but that is your right as well.

Giving it another go

I'm giving 365days another try. I unfortunately had to stop it just shy of 50 days last time due to unforeseen circumstances that sapped all of my creative energy and drive to continue with the project.

But, I am trying it again. And here's the first pic.

(P.S. If you don't know what 365days is, you can check it out here... or mine here.)

Until next time!

Yay!

Happy Halloween, everyone!

Google Yourself

1: Type in "[your name] needs" in the Google search:
"Jessica needs coffee."
Hmm... too bad I don't really like coffee.

2: Type in "[your name] looks like" in Google search:
"Jessica looks like an f***ing hooker."
Hey now...

3: Type in "[your name] does" in Google search:
"Jessica does the fat girl dance."
Ouch... I don't prefer to think of myself as fat.

4: Type in "[your name] hates" in Google search:
"Jessica hates metal."
Odd statement, but true nonetheless.

5: Type in "[your name] goes" or "..has gone" in Google search:
"Jessica goes into retail therapy."
Oooooo, if only that could be so!

6: Type in "[your name] loves" in Google search:
"Jessica loves her some taco."
Hahahaha...

7: Type in "[your name] eats" in Google search:
"Jessica eats the cup of Flickr."
Apparently I think styrofoam tastes good...

8: Type in "[your name] has" in Google search:
"Jessica has huge jugs."
So THAT'S where that nickname came from... :P

9: Type in "[your name] wants" in Google search:
"Jessica wants six kids."
Nooooo-oooo-ooooo I don't!

10: Type in "[your name] will" in Google search:
"Jessica will not be back to Myspace."
Well, if Facebook doesn't shape up, I just might!

Not the hottest...

So, I'm not feeling very great today, but I thought I'd share a photo. Isn't it pretty? It was a lucky capture at my grandma's house. I'm glad I got it before the frost killed it.

{Memories}

I'm headed over to Lafayette Jeff today to watch the ISSMA Regionals. I'm going with my bestest friend, and for the first time since I graduated, I won't be on the field performing: I'll just be sitting in the stands.
:/
We'll see how this goes.
Expect pics later.

Almost there...

... 24 hours from freedom... good 'ole Fall Break.

Hooray for experiences!

So, for my Psych100 project... I made a book. :) It's a Japanese folding style book, and I took pictures to put in them. I ended up just mounting the pictures on black cardstock and then putting them in the book that way, although the original idea was to use a transfer pen and transfer the pictures directly into the book. HOWEVER, transfer pens only work with one kind of printer, and the printer I was going to use...... ran out of ink. GRRRR. But I think it turned out alright. My project was about depression, so I took objects that I found that were "out of place," such as a sock found in a parking lot. I did this to go with the feeling that people with depression sometimes feel out of place in society or among their social circles.

Picture heavy!

Just a warning. Not that anyone cares. After all, that's the favorite part of a blog, right? :0)

First off, finally uploaded photos from Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday of Week in the Life. They're not as good as my first two days, but it was still my life, even though it got hectic and crazy and oh-not-so-very fun. :( But alas, here they finally are...











These are Thursday's photos. :0)





And finally, Friday's!







Tomorrow, I will upload pictures of the book that I made for my Psych100 project! I'm so excited about it. I can officially say that I have my first handmade book under my belt. :0) Or maybe I'll post the pictures later tonight when I'm bored in Chapter. :P

Oh me, oh my...

... how the time does fly.

It's been way too incredibly long since I last posted anything.
I did, in fact, finish my Week in the Life project, although I only did 5 days instead of 7. Perhaps I will try it again soon, doing all 7 days, but this time I only got 5! I will *hopefully* be posting Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday's photos tonight. And then hopefully this weekend, I'll get to start scrapping them! I even bought a pretty new pink album. Thank you, Inspiration. :0)

Although, I DO have to write an entire Psych paper tonight. Oh, good 'ole procrastination...


'Til later!

Long time...

See? I told you all that I was really bad at this blogging thing.
Anyway, there's a prompt for the next week that I'm going to be taking part in. I need a goal to work towards every day, so I think I'm gonna try this one for a week. Just a week to start with, and then, who knows! Maybe I'll like it enough to keep doing it.

A Week in the Life: A Prompt by Ali Edwards

Look for pictures of Monday soon!

Hope is gone.

My puppy died early this morning.
RIP, Princess.

Horridly, awfully bored

So, my school has decided that, in order to graduate with a Bachelor's degree, you have to take what are called "Core classes." Most other schools called them Gen Ed classes, so in that respect, my school is not unique.
HOWEVER, my school has decided that you have to take 60-some-odd hours worth of Gen Eds. It is RIDICULOUS. The average student at my school graduates in six years instead of four because there are so many of these stupid classes that we have to take.
And I'm sitting in one now. Sociology 100. And I HAAAAATE it.

So, I figured I should ramble some in here.

As to what happened yesterday...
Starting last Thursday, my dog became very, very sick. My parents took her to the animal hospital where she spent the night. That next morning, she was doing remarkably better, so they sent her home that day with some meds. However, that night, I guess she was just crying and crying and crying in pain. You couldn't even pet her or she would whine, and she didn't sleep more than 2 hours that night because she just couldn't get comfortable. My parents took her back to the hospital the next day, where the vet proceeded to tell us that the prognosis was not good at all. They basically told my parents that they needed to decide whether or not to put her down by Monday morning. They came and visited me Saturday night, and we talked together about what to do since she's my dog.
Well, I guess she's doing much, much better again this morning. However, that's exactly what happened last time, so they decided to run a few more tests.
As of right now, we're just in a holding pattern until they figure out what's going on. I'm on pins and needles, but at least I'm not crying hysterically like I was this past Saturday. My poor boyfriend didn't even know what to do with me because I just kept crying and crying.
So, we'll see. I haven't gotten a bad phone call yet this afternoon.

As far inspiration, I've been crazy-inspired by this guy for a while, too.
You can check out the rest of his stuff here.




Peace out!

Crazy-inspired

So a little about me. I've tried and failed many, many times at this blog thing. But I'm going to give it another shot on this one. This will just be my ramblings... no big deal. I'll share pics and stories, etc., from my days. Life as a student is always zany and crazy, right? :0) That's what I'm banking on, anyway.
So, it's been an awful weekend. I mean, awful, never-have-I-ever had a weekend as bad as this one since I've been at school. I'm hoping this situation gets better tomorrow, but it looks pretty bleak. Perhaps more details tomorrow.
But right now, I'm really, really inspired by this crazy graffiti artist named Banksy. You can check out the rest of his stuff here.


Right now, I'm really inspired by this photo. Because of the no-good, awfully-bad weekend, I think the saying just really fits. I have it as my computer background for now. Hopefully it'll remind me that there really is always hope as this week goes on.


Until a later time,
