Fun With Photography

Thanks to the rain  everything was especially GREEN this evening - the perfect opportunity for some fun with photography!  I don't feel very writ-y so I'll just post some pictures of the fun times I had splashing in the puddles and trying not to get my camera splashed in the process!!

I discovered that I could turn into a ghost today - how cool is that?!

Rain pictures are things that would normally come with cheesy quotes about puddles, life metaphors, and my achy heart or something, so here's my cheesy poem:

The rain falls

down

just like Kirk did

when he made the climb

the climb of a mountain

A while ago my mom had given me this really big shirt - but it had a cool pattern on it, so I pinned it and called it an outfit!

Just making sure I don't take myself too seriously!

I also tried to take pictures of the fireflies because they were so gall dern perrrty!  Unfortunately this is what about 99.9% of my pictures looked like:

woot fireflies! can't you see them everywhere?

Many mosquito bites later I stumbled back to the house, with one sad photo to show that there actually were fireflies out tonight.  Either that or I witnessed a UFO!

Happy Puddle Plunking! 

Hair (not like a wookie)

Sadly/Fortunately, I do not have hair like a wookie, although I do have a lot of it!  So yesterday Z and I finally took up the challenge of crafting our locks into some loverly dos.  The process was consuming, but fortunately we had our minions: a hairbrush, a gazillion bobby pins, a book, and of course human hair - from our heads.

For those of you looking for a weekend project, I would highly recommend checking this little number out from your public library - or better yet purchasing it if you're looking for some longterm fun!

So with the assistance of a mythical hairstylist etraordinaire named Karin, and the mastermind and nimble fingers of Z my hair went from looking blah...

to HUZZAH!

Boy do I love the 40s!

Thanks to all those who collaborated on my head - I am seriously digging my princess Leia of the 40s look!  Now all I need to do is figure out how to do this by myself...

o dear.

p.s Z:

I don't know why but I only got 1 pic of me and 1 of you from my email...so you'll have to try sending them to yourself I suppose!  I'll email you the one of you I have!

CHEERS!

These are my friends...

and they are certainly a strange bunch of posies!

Oh gosh - here comes college, and everyone always says "out with the old and in with the new!" but honestly I'm not ready to chuck out the old.  Heck, if anyone tried to pull that stunt on me I'd sock 'em in the eye, make them smell cat litter after safely rescuing my darling oldness from any haphazard chucking. 

I get the feeling that sentence didn't make much sense so I'll try to rephrase in plain engrish:

To my dear buds - I don't care if I'm expected to lose touch with you over the years.  I don't care if we end up two million light years away.  I don't care if we all meet darlin' new friends and all.  

If anyone tried to out-with-the-old you -

I'd go dumpster diving for you.

I don't know who this dude is - I just though it was really funny that he was on the cover of a magazine!

Let you guys go?

I say HELL TO THE NO!
