Hey everybody, just a quick update before I head to the shower and the nto bed.
I have a really super busy week ahead of me, I have something to do -all- day every day until next Tuesday. Monday-Friday I have to wake up at 5:00 am, and get myself ready for marching band. My band director is slightly insane, so he decided this year we'd have marching band practice at 6:30 in the morning until 9:00. I mean, I could see that if we were a marching band- but we're not. We're a concert band that happens to march in a parade because no one else will do it, and it looks good on resumes. Haha. Umm, and then my friend Shelby and I are hanging out until my mom goes home from work.. which requires a lot of walking around town. Then, Tuesday after marching band, I have a driving time, my third one out of six before I can try for my licence. (horray!). Wednesday I'll probably just hang out with Shelby again after band, and Thursday and Friday after bad I'm going to the carnival that happens to be in town this week. (Which is the reason for our parade.. not the actual carnival.. but the main event, which brings the carnival to town ). SaturdayI am doing a 7 Deadly Sins Photoshoot.
Speaking of which, any ideas? I pretty much have everything set for that, and I know, I know, its cliche and all that jazz to do something with the 7 Deadly Sins, but I want to try it out- I mean what better way to get my photo skillz out there than to ask 7 or 8 people to model for me?
Sunday I have the parade. That pretty much sucks. We have to wear the most disgusting uniforms known to man, that are 40 times too small and barley fit, and smell like body odor and dougnuts.
Monday, I have another driving time, and I'm also having a photoshoot with Mindy Young, the model I've used before. This time I'm getting paid for it supposedly- so horray- my first paid photoshoot! I'm excited.
Next Wednesday I have yet another driving time, and Saturday the 28th is the second day of the 7 Deadly Sins Photoshoot. I need to have more than one day for it because not everyone can make it on one day, and since there are a lot of people, I'm assuming its going to take a very long time- usually one person takes me about 2 or 3 hours...
Monday the 30th, the last day of June is the third and final day of the 7 Deadly Sins Photoshoot. Hopefully by then everyone will have been able to show up for their specific sin and everything will be good.
And that's my busy month of June. Haha.
Oh, and also, I'm doing a little photo contest my library is holding. Its extreemely juvinile but hey, it will get two pieces of my work in their four walls and on their website. And maybe someone will notice it, and like it! The theme is "Catch a Bug Reading". Pretty lame, hm? I'm just submitting two of my photos that happen to have insects in them- because reguardless if I win or not they'll still display them. Heh.


Edit:
Okay, so this Saturday was supposed to be the first day of the 7 Deadly Sins Photoshoot. Well, my "creative director" who is basically my assistant/model when I need him/and idea giver, told me that he's been telling everyone that the first one wasn't until next week. (I put him in charge of getting everyone together.) Soo I guess I'm not starting this Saturday, but the next! Oh well, this weekend is a busy weekend for my town.


Another thing: I got a flickr: [link]
Check it out, I'm really un popular on there so far.

Alright, I'm the kind of person that pretty much needs something to do or I'll seriously go crazy and kill someone. So, I'm going to challenge myself this summer and do several challenges.
The first one is, as I already talked about, the 7 Deadly Sins. I'm going to make one piece of art for each of the deadly sins (I'm going to update this with an "x" and a link when I finish one. :
[] Greed
[] Gluttony
[] Sloth
[] Wrath
[] Lust
[] Pride
[] Envy


The second challenge I'm undergoing I pretty much already started, but I didn't really challenge myself with it, so I just kind of forgot about it. But now I'm going to challenge myself to finish the whole list before summer's over, I have three whole months, I think I can do it. It's the 100 Themes Challenge. Once again I'll be updating this with a check and a link when I complete one. (Oh, and by the way, I know its like a deviantart contest in some places, but I'm just doing it for fun. ) :

The third and final challenge I'm trying out (this one is probably the one I'm going to drop if I drop any of them.) is a Unique Photo a Day Challenge. I'm going to try to take one photo a day, and make it something I've never taken a picture of before. I'm going to try to do this for 30 days straight. Wish me luck- I think I'll need it.

Anyone who wants to embark on these challenges with me, I wish you the best of luck! ^_^

Edit, yet again:
Soo I found a magazine yesterday and all it had inside was photos of hands. It was actually very amazing and inspiriging, and I'll admit, I kind of have a hand "fetish" soo I'm going to try to start a hand collection myself. All it was was just photos of hands "doing their stuff" - everything from holding a card, to a fork, and another's hand. It was amazing. I guess this isn't really a challenge, just an inspiring thought that led me to realize what I want to take pictures of for a while. lol.
Okay, I promise, I'm done editing this journal for a while.
And sorry if this edit was typed poorly, its 5:44 in the morning in the middle of the summer,when most children of my age would be fast asleep in their warm little beds. (Poor me. )
