Sometimes I wish I was a kid again...

Photo From Photobucket.com :)

I've been thinking a lot about growing up. It's pretty crazy how fast time flies. When I first arrived in high school I couldn't wait to graduate. Now I'm a junior, and honestly, going out into the world on my own scares me a little. I realize that it's just a part of life, and everyone does it eventually, but I enjoyed being a little kid. Life literally consisted of The Lion King, pb&j sandwiches, playing outside until my legs were jelly, and sleep. It realllllyyy doesn't get any better than that. I realize now how much I took all of that for granted. So many people, including myself, go through their childhood just wishing and waiting to be older. There's always steps, you see. First you want to be a teenager, then an 8th grader, then sixteen (license), then eighteen (graduation). By then, you're out of school, and thrust into the world. So I guess my point is to cherish the rest of your adolescence, it goes by way, wayyy too fast.

COLOR SPLASHH! Wooh :)

Color Splash/Macro Flower :)

   Hello, hello! :) The picture above, as the caption reads, is a flower that has been color splashed, and is slightly macro! :) I absolutely love color splash, especially when the background color is bright... e.g. the picture above. For those of you that do not know, color splash photography is done on photoshop. My go-to photoshop sight is Photobucket.com :) To color splash, simply go to the "Photo Editor" and upload your picture. There will be an "effect" section. Go to it, and click on the "Color Splash" button :) Everything will turn black and white, and whatever you click on will go back to the original color of your picture. For example, if you take a picture of a pair of red sunglasses sitting on a green table, you can make the table, as well as the rest of the background, black and the sunglasses will stay red. It.Is.AMAZING. Now, you may be wondering what "Macro" is. Macro is a very close up, VERY detailed picture. It captures event the smallest details of an object. The quality of Macro is beautiful. To take a Macro picture, hit the little Tulip Flower looking thing on your camera, and focus in on a picture.It really is a great setting for an aspiring photographer, or even just a random person taking pictures! :) Happy picture taking everyoneeee! :)


ps. I did not take, and do not own the picture above in any way shape or form. I got it off of Photobucket :)

Oh where, Oh where....

So first of all I would like to apologize to Miss. Fultz for horribly slacking on my blogs. I realize that I'm about four weeks (after this blog, three weeks) behind, and I am so very, very sorry. I will try much harder in the weeks to come, I promise! :) Now that my apology has been said, I would like to explain to you all what has happened to my dear camera. Honestly, I blame myself for my camera mishap. I should have paid more attention to it, but of course, I did not. My camera is deceased... Hopefully it will come back to me someday, but I highly doubt it. it won't turn on, and for some reason when I DO get it to turn on it won't sync to my computer. Soooo..... yes. I will more than likely find awesomely amazing pictures on Photobucket or something, and just write about them. Yeah... that sounds good. Pray for my camera! it may decide to come back to me... someday :(

Nooo picture this week :( Dear camera....

My dearest camera,
          I would like to inform you that I am extremely sorry I dropped you yesterday.. and the day before that.  Also, I think you should know that I did not intentionally feed you to my dog.  I think he thought you were a shiny pink marshmallow, or maybe strawberry flavored hard candy.  I miss you, my dear.  We have been through so much, and although I didn't always treat you right, you never once let me down... until last night.  Honestly, I think I deserved this, for I really have put you through so much torture.  I promise that if you start working today I will never ever EVER drop you again.  Unless it's by accident..like it was the first bagillion and three times.  Also, I will not leave you in random areas and lose you for a week.  I plan on putting you in your comfy little case when I get home.. once I find it.  I think it's somewhere under my bed... so I'll be sure to take a flashlight and a bat with me when I go on my search.  Don't worry camera, I will find your case, and you will be safe once again.  Thank you for everything.  You really are my treasure. 


Sincerely, Me.
        
                  

It's time for the "R" Word...

^^ I think it's love.

Relationships are complicated. I'm sixteen, almost seventeen years old, and I already think this.. That is just not okay. Whether you're a girl, or a guy, relationships are just... blah. You can be super happy one minute, and then BAM! He/She is a jerk and you're mad. What on earth is going on in your significant others' mind? Why does this happen? Because people change. That's why. Our world is always twisting and turning. People grow up. They move on with their lives, and unfortunately, that doesn't always involve you. Just the other day I was wondering why this had to happen so much, and why it had to feel so crappy. Then I commented on it in a "Free Write" for my English class. And on the side, in little pink ink, my teacher wrote, "They're there to learn from." That's when it hit me. If we didn't have these stupid breakups (and breakdowns), we would have no chance to appreciate what a good person does when they finally come along. So I guess what I'm saying is the next time you get your heartbroken, and I'm hoping this doesn't happen to you, but if it does... look at it in a positive way. They're just another lesson learned. And the next one that comes into your life WILL be better.

Friends :)

Hello again bloggers! So this past week has definitely been stressful for me. I found out some extremely sad information, and it has taken its toll on me. Last week I came to school in a very bad mood, and only my closest friends could see that something was wrong. Last week was a huge realization for me. I realized that my friends really do keep me going. They are everything to me, and without them I would have so many more sad days. So I've decided that this blog is dedicated to all of the people who have been there for me. This week, this year, my whole life. You really do make a difference in my life. Each and every one of you do something different. Even if it's just a random hug in the hallway (Nate & Taimen), or bringing me flowers (thanks D.Dubs). You all mean so much to me. I love you guys :)
