I seem to not have any definite clothing style. One day it's crazy pants and heels, the next it's comfy boots and two pairs of socks on top of tights (yeah, it was a little chilly today). While I know it's good to have a particular style, one shouldn't force oneself into a certain type of clothing. This is why I love personal style: it can constantly be changed and no can really say anything about it because if you're always wearing what you want, nothing else matters. And today I want to wear comfy matchy matchy clothes and curl up with a book and not really worry too much about what I look like, and that is just fine.
Also, I was taking film photos and was trying to rewind my film because I finished the roll, and the film broke inside the camera. (ie. it came apart from the cartridge.) Does anyone know if I can still save the film, and if so, how would I remove it and protect it from sunlight? Thank you in advance. (I'm pretty bummed that it broke because that roll was filled with graduation pictures. :( )
I encourage (beg!) you to donate to the Batonga Foundation, which supports girls in Africa by giving them a full education. You can read more about it here! Every little bit helps and there are just a few days left! It doesn't matter if it's $5 or $500, the important thing is that you give to help a girl in need. (hahaha tugging at your heartstrings! But seriously, this is the whole reason why I'm wearing this dress for 30 days. :D )
Thank you and have an awesome day!

I know this photo is boring, but it was the first photo I've ever shot in RAW and was able to edit with my brand new cs6. My old photoshop was so old it couldn't even read the raw files. Now all I need is my tablet to come in the mail and then I will be able to do anything.
As for the events of the day, my friends (previously Mr. and Miss) Joel and Marquel (huzzah I can call them by their first names because they're no longer my teachers) had a get-together. So I spent my night with awesome people playing awesome games.

As I was sitting down to eat lunch and catch up on my favorite blogs, my brother came in and set a picked dandelion on my computer. After asking him why he did such a thing, he replied, "Because you're artistic ... and stuff." Then he turned and walked out of the room. Despite the odd encounter, dandelions can mean one thing: summer! And as a matter of fact, when I trekked through the yard to go take photos, dandelions were beginning to peek through the fresh grass.
I don't know what it is about Alaska. Maybe it's the pine trees or the ocean air or the fresh moose poop (okay that one is a joke), but this place smells so good! The moment they invent scratch-and-sniff over the internet, I'll send you guys a sample of what it smells like. If you've ever read Sound and Fury, this place smells like trees, untainted by humans. It's like holy ground teeming with insects and creatures. I just love it so much.
As always, I'm wearing this dress for an entire month to raise money for the Batonga Foundation, which supports girls in Africa by giving them a full education. You can read more about it here! Every little bit helps.
Thank you and have an awesome day!

It's been a lazy, rainy day. I spent most of it sitting on the couch and cleaning. Photoshop CS6 came in the mail but thus far installation has proven unsuccessful. The error message says that the installer has failed to initialize. Has anyone else had this problem? It's frustrating because I want to do so much that I can only complete with photoshop and not having it work is pretty discouraging. We shall see if it works in the upcoming days. My dad is troubleshooting as I type.
