ever on and on

Not that I have already obtained this or am already perfect, but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me His own.  Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do : forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. Philippians 3:12...

Instagr.am the World

I do, to a point, agree with that statement. But, I also think that that we should acknowledge that advancements in technology and start to embrace different ways of doing things.  I'm addicted to Instagram.  But why? Well, one I can incessantly post pictures and it's accepted. ;P  But secondly, because it's easy and accessible. Even though I'm a photographer, I don't always want to lug around my chunky DSLR, but it's easy...

Emma

What I'm reading? Emma by Jane Austen. (yes, I'm reading it on iBooks too. It's not as awful as I would have thought. It's really easy to read on the screen and it's nice being so portable) Why pray tell, am I re-reading Emma? No, not just for fun. It's because another play is coming up! They're doing Emma and auditions are in September.   I am a HUGE fan of Emma. I think it's because I can identify with her more than other characters....

overload

life has been on overload lately. (so much so that I've attempted to write a blog post three times since my last one and haven't gotten past the first sentence.) I'm having horrible creative block. Which includes writing block, design block and photography block.   I'm really hoping next week to have a free moment to sit down and thoughtfully write something here. Or at least attempt it.   A lot is happening in my life and I...

Annnnd, I can deal with a 3.7GPA. Not too bad for being gone an entire week before finals, and not always "putting...

just rip it off

(seriously, I wish I was rich and indy enough to buy everything from urban outfitters) Once upon a time, there was a girl. Waiting to find out something that would change the FUTURE OF THE WORLD!  Ok. Not really. Just, her future. And only for about 6 months. ;] I'm waiting to find out about my intern application with a pretty fantastic organization, the letter will be mailed out July 1st. Not that far away, I know. But, I just wish I could...

“You can't stay in your corner of the Forest waiting for others to come to you. You have to go to them sometimes.” -Winnie The Pooh First, I'm going to make an effort to blog more, specifically about every little thing that happens to me like some people do. ;) Secondly, school is nearly done! I'm so very excited. Not that I'll get *any* less busy, but...it will be nice to officially be on "summer break". Thirdly, my brain is a little fried...

Centered In Christ

I'm taking a quick break from the flurry of finals homework and image editing to do a lil' slideshow video of some of my "people" pictures from TeenPact National Convention These people are some of the most passionate, on fire for Christ teens I know, and they are some of my greatest friends. I have been so blessed to know all of these people and especially to get to be with them all for a week.  ...

doors

As cliche as the phrase "when one door closes another door opens" is, it's incredibly true.  As disappointing as it is when doors close, if they didn't close, then other doors wouldn't be opened. :) yup. I really don't have much time to devote to this, since my to-do list is...HUGE. Not even kidding.  But, since I've written so many lists recently...I'll just continue the trend.  TeenPact National Convention is in 2 days,...

RED!

Mom found this dress at goodwill a while back, but it ended up fitting me. I wore it to a wedding on Saturday night, and then to church this morning. (yes! repeat outfits!)  so much for that old saying "redheads shouldn't wear red". HA! Take that world. sorry for the weird mixture of colors / out of focus....it's a combination of camera phone/ over-exposed /yeah.  Alright, I gotta get back to homework. I just needed to take a...

don't lose your muchness

I'm investigating things that begin with the letter M. I try to believe in as many as six impossible things before breakfast. (tripod + running = sun beam in my face)Why is the raven like a writing desk? Who's to say what is "proper"? What if it was agreed that "proper" was wearing a codfish on your head? Would you wear it?  Precisely. Gentlemen, the only way to achieve the impossible, is to believe it's possible. Of course....

no makeup + nerd glasses

photo blog update!   Even though I'm pretty sure ya'll know already, in case anybody doesn't, here's a link to my photography page on facebook!  Red Photo  It was Sunday and I just didn't feel like wearing makeup.

hamlet, anyone?

To be, or not to be: that is the question: Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, Or to take arms against a sea of troubles, And by opposing end them? To die: to sleep; No more; and by a sleep to say we end The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks That flesh is heir to, 'tis a consummation Devoutly to be wish'd. To die, to sleep; To sleep: perchance to dream: ay, there's the rub; For in that sleep...

fashion / inspiration

I like to pretend that I'm fashionable...but then I see pictures, and realize that I'm so far from it sometimes.  (all pictures are from Scott Schuman's blog The Sartorialist) Ahh! Navy + striped skirt! <3  I don't think I'm tall or skinny enough to pull off long skirts like this...but I like them. To all my guy friends: dress like this and you will be awesome. excuse me, but I think I'm going to start wearing heels a lot more.(also,here's...
