OCD+ADD=OMG

But lately, I've been wanting to take some of my photos and actually print them onto canvas. Of course, then it occurred to me that if I'm gonna do that, I need to figure out some way to put my signature on the photo… even if it's just my initials. That's just something that stamps the pic and says, 'yeah, this one's mine :)'. I wouldn't say that I'm a glory hog or territorial, but I know that people will think nothing of stamping their name on another person's work, and that infuriates me.

Still. I'm not even sure about ordering prints on canvas. I've googles "Photoes"+"Canvas" and several services popped up. One place that I really like is Canvas Pop, just because they have a nice ordering process, and they allow you to see the work in space. Plus they let you specify unique measurements for your canvas. If you want a print that's 5x9 then go ahead and put that in and they'll print it for you. They are a tad on the expensive side tho…but I kinda expected that. Print Your Life is pretty cool too, but I find the only thing I like about their service is in their gallery under Grunge… It's just an intestine style. It's also interesting that they'll Avatar a pic of you… I should tell Jessica about that ^..^ Canvas on Demand isn't too bad of a place either….they allow custom measurements as well …and from what I can tell, they have Ty Pennington as a sponsor o..o Oh and lastly there's Photogonia,which offers a bunch of things other than just photo prints and canvas stuffs… there's like, tile sets and puzzles and keepsake boxes. All sorts of stuff.

…and with all that, is it any wonder I feel mixed about? I mean, there are so many options, I'm just not sure what to pick. I get so caught up in looking at options, that I forget entirely that I still am not sure about that whole signature thing -..-' I'm gonna try just scanning my signature into my computer as an image and then opening my photos with Corel Draw and placing the signature over a corner… see if that works.

The reason most of this quandary started is because Mom's birthday is coming up (Sept. 2 :3), and she mentioned a while back that she'd like to get three pictures of mine from Spring, Autumn and Winter and put them over her fire place. So, I wanna go over there and measure how high all those pictures would be (obviously they'd all be landscape style photos :]) and then choose three of my best prints.

…so that's my latest project. Not sure how far I'll get in it today, but I am working on that signature thing for right now… and gathering up prices on the websites that I'm looking at. o..o other than that, I really don't know what else to do until I'm actually ready to order so..yah.

I guess that's all for now. I'll write later, Sunshines :)

You Should Travel to India

You're a passionate, gusty traveler - and India's gritty urban centers won't scare you away. Maybe you'll take in the Taj Mahal, eat the best curry of your life, or attend a huge street festival.

Oooh, that reminds me. I gotta show the guys the Mortal Kombat in Central Park video :D

Soooo, my package should be coming in tomorrow /bounces in place excitedly. I cannot wait.

It’s weird how everything’s starting up this week o..o I mean – Monday my package comes in and I’ll be wrapped up in that. Tuesday is orientation and then Friday is the lock-in. Then school starts on the 18th….that whooshing sound you hear is freedom, flying away -..-‘

But I got a letter in the mail from the college... Well, I got several letters in the mail. Most of them telling me that my financial aid still wasn’t complete and it was still my fault <..< But! I got a good letter that basically told me everything I need to know about when and where Orientation will be...that is, they told me the name of the place it’d be in...I suppose they could’ve put a picture in there…there are so many other pictures in there. Oh well. I’ll figure it out. I’ve actually never been to a college orientation before o..o I dunno what’s up with the colleges in LA that I went to, but seriously. That would’ve been helpful -..-

But my orientation will be from 12:30 to 4:30… looooong orientation. But there’ll be tons of people there and they’re going to go over the basics of NAK and then explain where all our classrooms are and all that. At least they’re thorough. And at least I’ll be walking into a college classroom knowing “Yup…this is the place I’m supposed to be” as opposed to asking if I’m actually in the right spot :) Can’t complain about that one bit.

I really do wish I knew whether my package was actually IN Little Rock, or if it’s just scheduled to be on its way to Little Rock tomorrow. Because if it’s still in Memphis, then that means it’s about 5 hours away...give or take. But if it’s in Little Rock, it’s only about 2 and a half hours awa y…that’s a huge difference. And I have to sign for it in order to get it, so I’m so gonna be staked out at Mom’s tomorrow. I’m gonna bet that it’s still in Memphis though. Because that’s the last place it was ‘Received’ and it says ‘In Transit’ in the North Little Rock section...either way, it’ll feel like forever while I’m waiting -..-

OK...That’s all I suppose. I’ll type later, Sunshines :)

My Question to You the Viewer: What electronic device are you majorly dependant on?

Like, for Church… the most basic rules I can think of are: 1) Show up. 2) Stay awake. 3) Be reverent. 4) Find a place in which you can perform and do so to the best of your ability :)

Tho...I suppose that last rule would be a good one for life in general. Actually...all of them might be considered a good base for life. Show up, stay awake, be reverent and try to find a place in which you can perform and do so to the best of your ability :) The rules of life…there they are :D

Oh. Before I forget. I’m trying to form a sort of currency system. I’m thinking there should be currency commonly used by the poor, the middle class and the wealthy. So, I’m thinking… Poor - Copper and Tin; Middle class – Gold and Silver; Wealthy - …? I got nothing for the wealthy. I had thought of platinum, but I’m not too sure about it. Also, I thought I might invent some sort of material...Once again. I’m not 100% sure. Still working on it.

Today, I ate a black forest ham sandwich with chicken breast from subway…and the chicken breast was bad =..= Note to self: make sure before consuming the whole thing next time >..<

…that’s all I got. Ja!

You Are a Cirrus Cloud

You're a bit mysterious and reserved. You mostly keep to yourself and do your own thing. Some people may even consider you allusive. You're hard to track down at times. People who know you find you to be very transparent. It's always easy to tell what you're thinking about. You tend to drift more than most people. You're always trying out new ideas, friends, and even personalities.

What was funny was when he was walking out and he said, “So give this medication a try and if it works call us and tells us, or otherwise you can call us and tell us, ‘This doesn’t work, you guys are stupid.’” :D

Anyway. I have an appointment at 3 this Friday with the Ear Nose and Throat doctor. It’s funny, but unless you get a referral from other doctors, most of the doctors here won’t admit you. It’s weird, but they always say they aren’t accepting new patients.

I’m …very tired now… and very dizzy. But, I’m trying to finish my washing. Mom and Dad got me a ton of clothes yesterday when we stumbled upon an Avenue (my favorite place to shop back in Houma) in Springfield. So, I’m washing everything in hopes of being able to wear it :)But, in between loads of clothes, I’m having a Supernatural marathon. I was moping about for something to watch and lamenting over the fact that I’d really like to have Avatar: The Last Airbender on DVD, but then my eyes fell on my Supernatural box sets and I rejoiced :3 It’s kinda funny how I’m still a little shocked at how awesome the first season is o..o’

Oh well. I’m gonna stop typing now so that the computer stops shaking (srsly, it looks like my monitor is moving >..<). I’ll type later, ya’ll. Bye!

You Are Colorful Because You Are Smooth

You're the type of person who can get away with anything. People always like you no matter what. You are totally irresistible. You can be as quirky, colorful, and wild as you want to be! You enjoy taking risks, and you've made a few big miscalculations over the years. You're not afraid to mess up. Your mistakes just give you character. People love that you're perfectly imperfect. You're happy with yourself, and that's all that matters.

Yeah, I keep meaning to write a blog entry and then...I keep getting distracted or not caring or having something else to do...hate that. And for some odd reason, my Twitter posts haven't been posting <..< hm.

So...what’s new? Well. Paid for tuition at school. Never thought I’d spend so much money on something that wasn’t an electronic o..o’

I kid you not, I just started typing this and then immediately got distracted -..-

Anyway! Yeah...paid for tuition.

Also, my laptop, Makoto? Yeah, it’s sort of gone down for the count. It kept shutting itself off for no reason. I assumed it was that it had somehow over heated and just needed to cool of...but then, the other day, it shut down and started making this very weird buzzing noise in a repetitive almost beep-beep-beep- fashion -..- Bub seems to think it may just be that the fan in it has broken and it’s not turning on until that’s fixed. I’m hoping that he’s right...and that it isn’t too much to actually fix it. We both laughed about the irony. Just about to start school next month and the laptop dies. And I am very unwilling to actually bring it in to be fixed until I’ve bought the books I’ll need for this semester. And no one seems to know what books I’ll need or when I’ll be told what books I’ll need. I’m hoping that is what orientation on the 10th is for.

Oh yeah! Bub is visiting us again. He just moved into a new apartment, but he has literally nothing to put in it as he’s been rooming in a single room no bigger than the size of my guest bedroom. So he came over to stock up. Luckily, Contact was on my Netflix queue, and we just got through watching it. A thoroughly engaging movie if ever there was one. I absolutely loved it :)

Also, I joined a group on FaceBook called Make a REAL “Gargoyles” movie, Disney!. They say that Disney is looking at making a live action Gargoyles movie...but isn’t basing it at all in or from the old show. So, they’ve given out work addresses and asked fans to write in, with a polite tone, notifying the higher ups on the projects that the original show is what we love. I fully believe this, so I have written up two letters to go to both of the addresses they’ve given us. I really hope they listen to us about this too. It wasn’t too long ago that The Last Airbender disappointed its fan base so horribly, and a few people had mentioned that it was kind of why they were glad no one had tried that with Gargoyles. Kind of ironic really. If they do move ahead with this project, I really hope they realize the gold mine they’ve been sitting on and take cues from the fans.

That’s really all that’s going on...I still haven’t filmed anything new. I really just haven’t been able to force myself to do so. But, maybe I’ll get around to it later on. I did do 4 videos all in one week, so that should buy me some time...least-ways, that’s my opinion of it all.

Well, it’s pretty late and I have to wake up early for church tomorrow. I’ll write later.

You Are Massachusetts

You are smart, serious, and quite traditional. You don't have a lot of time for junk in your life. It's likely that you're well educated and hard working. You live a very goal oriented life. You are probably socially liberal, but personally quite conservative. You would never be described as wild. But you're more diverse than people give you credit for. You're equally comfortable at a business meeting and at a rowdy sports game!
