I found out on Friday that my friend Brendan committed suicide. He passed away on Nov. 19th. He was a great guy, loved by many many people. I don't know what drove him to this, but I can only hope he finds peace where he is now. If anyone is interested, I posted a portrait I took of him in senior year when I was just beginning with my photography skills. R.I.P. brother.

I haven't posted since September, apparently.

Just wanted to let everyone know that I am still here, I haven't had anything to post lately because I really haven't had anything good enough. Plus college has been a major stress factor and is bringing me down.
I'm also going through something really tough right now so I probably won't be posting for a little longer still. Though I promise to try and get on more often than I have so that I can still keep up with everyone's stuff.

My 18th birthday's next Wednesday, and my family is going away, so maybe some kind of photographic documentation will come out of the experience. We'll see.

Hope everyone has a good Thanksgiving and such.

I read a journal and since she stated that anyone with an "E" in their name is now tagged, I suppose I must do this.

The rules are as follows:
1. Post these rules
2. Each person tagged must post 8 random facts about themselves
3. Tags should write a journal/blog of these facts
4. At the end of the post 8 more persons are tagged and named
5. Go to their page and leave a comment telling them they're tagged

1. I am obsessed with my boyfriend, and even if I see him one day, I will cry if I plan to see him the next day and something messes up my plans.
2. I am an EXTREMELY anal person and a perfectionist. I stick to schedules, throw a fit if something is only slightly out of place, I enjoy organizing and clean my bookbag/purse/room every weekend, if not every other day. Among other things.
3. I tend to get very close to people that I hardly know and regard them as my best friend, and then several months later I realize that I had been a complete idiot.
4. I'm not very good at learning from my mistakes, but I try very hard to do so.
5. I hate eating by myself in front of other groups of people.
6. I get addicted to certain things very easily, but only for short periods of time and then I get bored with it for a long time.
7. I hate being late to anything, even if I don't even want to be going there in the first place.
8. I often put on a front of meaness and standoffish-ness as a defensive mechanism... I'm actually really nice if you're nice to me, but I am so paranoid that I always think people are staring at me and judging me, and/or talking about me behind my back.

I tag anyone who reads this that has a passion for photography.

I start college tomorrow! Holy crap! Omg!

3 art classes tomorrow! I have almost no clue what I'm doing... no idea what I'm supposed to bring or do! Argh!!!
