Oh, let's get rich and buy our parents homes in the South of France
let's get rich and give everybody nice sweaters
and teach them how to dance
let's get rich and build our house on a mountain
making everybody look like ants
from way up there, you and I, you and I, you and I.

  • i'm pretty sure all one of you who still checks this thing knows that i had surgery a while ago and have a huge scar on my stomach from it. therefore, it would be preferable that i not wear a two-piece swimsuit, so i have been on the search for the perfect [reasonably-priced] one-piece ever since.

  • Canon 5D (used): $1,000
  • Canon 35mm 1.4: $1,399 + tax

ways to earn this:

  • sell my xs + kit lens + memory cards: $600?
  • raise my rate for photog: noooooo
  • stop buying clothes!!! stop eating out!! stop buying cece's!!!! stop buying coffee!!! SAVE $$$

if i could save like, $5,000 by the end of the year (unlikely), i could get both? but i want the 5d by summer, to document my travels! but to take travel photos, i'd rather have the 35mm lens.. WHICH TO GET FIRST?!!

maybe i will somehow stumble upon a very nice retired photographer who will sell me these things for cheap.

things to improve on:

  • i really dont care about biology..
  • i just took a shower after a loong plane ride in which i wore green cargo pants and my yellow toms and a bright blue headband. i feel clean and refreshed.

  • i wanna go to brooke waggoner nov. 19 but i am not sure if that is too much for one month. but i really like brooke waggoner. she is so good live. and the strings! i love the strings. i think i will go.
  • i really want to miss a day of school but i always chicken out. i should've skipped monday, it was such a pointless day, really. school-wise anyway. if i'd skipped monday, tuesday would've been better. but then again, if i skipped monday, missing next tuesday would be bad. so i guess it was good i went to school.
  • i need to make more sense when i talk.
  • i would like to shoot much more film but i am always really hesitant about shooting film and therefore it takes me forever to finish a roll and i am quickly losing options of where to develop film. opportunities coming up to shoot film: school....
