Flying High in the Sky

That's right, I did it. I went skydiving. It was definitely awesome! Something that I want to do over and over again. To bad it's so expensive... Oh well. I got some pictures that I took, and then Brandon is going to take pics off of the video. So everyone can see me fly. It was a great experience. And for anyone wanting to do it, just do it. You won't regret it.

Ah, it's been awhile

I guess I should try and write some more often. Some stuff has happened since my last post.

First of all, I found a website to help me with my writing, so I'm still working hard on writing my book. http://chuckpalahniuk.net He is one of my favorite authors, and I was really excited to have found out that there is a place where I could get other authors to critique my work. And I get to see what everyone else is doing! :D It's been frustrating, but this will make my writing better.

Also, June 3rd, Shadow got put to sleep. She had a really bad seizure and something was found on her liver. So instead of having her suffer, my mom put her down. It's very sad and she will be missed.



Last but not least, I'm going skydiving tomorrow!!! I'm excited but scared!

Friday The 13th

Just a perfect time to release the photos! I made up four posters for the movie using photoshop. I enjoy photoshop so much. I should learn to do more stuff with it...

End of April...

So Brandon is making a movie at the end of April. I'm helping out as much as I can. I'm going to be head of Clean-up Crew and also help with Set Decorating. We are supposed to start shooting at the end of April, hopefully it will go well. We are shooting for doing it in a couple days. Not sure how much that will work, but whatever. After he gets it all edited we are going to have a cast-screening and then a screening of the film at Wealthy Theater. It's gonna be great times!

I've spent most of my night figuring out what one of the posters is going to look like. Font, color, stuff like that. I will post my creations when I can. Right now all I'm planning on doing when I get out of work is create the background for the Myspace, and then a different poster for it. I also need to work on creating a photo look like it's drawn and all that. It shouldn't take too long, but being a perfectionist it'll take a while...

I also started writing again on my story. I really want to finish it, but just kind of went away from it. I don't have any new photo's. It's still cold, and I'll have a lot more once the movie starts.

New Pictures

I had the chance to take some profile pictures of my friend. I needed to practice taking pictures of people. It worked out well, and I think that I'm able to do it. I still want to practice a bit more with it, so when it gets warmer, I'll ask Brandon to help me with it. It was a lot of fun, and there were spots that I didn't know about. So yea. Great times! Also got some photo's taken of me! That's it for now!

It's Been Awhile...

Sorry I haven't been on here. I don't really know why, just haven't gotten around to it. This past week my Great-Grandma Card and Grandpa Card passed away. My Grandpa's funeral is tomorrow at 11:00 AM. My Great-Grandma's is still pending. I'm not really sure how I'm feeling, it goes by day by day. I'll be fine one day, but then the next, I'm all over the place. It's sad to see both relatives passing away within days of each other. So yea.

I haven't been working on my story, which I should. Just haven't been. Guess I've got writers block or something. I just really haven't tried. Ha. Great.

This summer Brandon is working on a movie and I'll be doing still shots of the sets and characters and such. I'm excited with that. I need to work on photos of people. So far I've basically done scenery shots or of objects. So I need the practice before then. I've done one "Poster" shot with my camera. Which I'm not sure where it went. Haha. Brandon has told me that I can take some portfolio pictures for him, for the practice. Not sure when I'll do that, but sometime in spring, I would guess. I really haven't taken any more photos this winter.

Well that's it for now. I'll talk to you guys sometime soon!

Things are looking up

So, like it says in the title, things are beginning to look up. Yesterday I went to the bank with Brandon to cash my check. Come to find out they don't accept 3rd party checks anymore. So I got all discouraged and such. The teller at the bank asked the reason why I didn't have a bank account yet. I replied with an honest answer with, "My credit union closed my account due to money issues." So again, I was discouraged through everything. I wasn't going to get my check cashed, and I'd have to find some place else. Well the Teller goes on to saying that she would check to see if I would be able to open an account with them. A few minutes later; BAM; she could. So I said awesome, but I didn't have my ID. So she said that if I promised to come back today, she'd cash my check and I'd open an account with them.

So I woke up at 8:30 to get to the Secretary of State by 9. Went got another ID and went to the bank to open up an account. As I did this, they said that they would give me a Credit Card with $500 on it, just as long as my mom co-signs. So that will be coming also! And when I go back to school, they will give me another one! I'm excited.

Also, I plan on starting classes in the fall. Hopefully I can take 3 classes and do well in them. Last time around didn't work out to well. And now that I have free-time at my job, I can do homework and such here, as well as at Brandon's. I'm really excited for all this to fall into place, and really grateful today.
