New Days...

The last few weeks have been wonderful. :) There's something liberating in doing what you love for a change.

I've been drawing, sewing, thinking, reading, walking, loving... I made a pinhole camera out of a matchbox! Following these instructions, I think it actually turned out pretty well. Judging from the one or two pictures that kinda have potential of being decent...

I just got the film developed, not the pictures, everything's over exposed, but it besides that, it seems to be working. My darling and I went to Fotoantika a few weeks ago and got an old light meter, hopefully it only needs new batteries and the exposure problem will be gone. Banished! (Banned?)

Also, on a similar note, we went to Foto Ex Tempore in Kras. It was really fun, I'd show off with a picture or two, but I was analogue for the day. (I prefer film for some reason.) I did miss a display thingie though, the rotate-able kind, so I can take pictures at weird angles. Also, to see if I actually got any right. Motion blur loves me, I'm told. Keep your fingers crossed!

Updates...

I didn't have much time, up to a few days ago, to write a decent blog post. However, when I got the time, Mr. Computer died on me. It made me reconsider the wisdom in naming it 42. It was an attempt to break the pattern of the last 4 (I think it was 4) Marvins dying after something around a year... You know, the answer to life, the universe and everything ought to be eternal... Guess not. And it died when I was close to finishing my contribution to the ongoing blog meme, draw yourself as a teenager.

I drew myself as a 16 y/o, as I am still a teenager, for a few more months anyway. Despite the lack of vectors in Photoshop (which just makes everything so... pixel looking -.-) I did a pretty good job. Honest! I'll post eventually.

On another note, I cut my hair. Got the cutest and nicest comparison too, I was told I look like Dust Puppy. *hearts* It's a character in the UserFriendly.org comics, I love the little guy. The hair now points in every direction at a 90 degree angle from my head. Not much I can do about it, going from mid chest to 2cm is quite a jump, I'm guessing they want to know what it's like to point up for a change. I like it though. :) Like I said, Dust Puppy. :)

About Blogging...

I have been blogging, in one form or another, since I first got internet at home. Dial-up... Oh god. And the bills! Double god! I survived... My fist blog posts came in the form of journal entries on Planet-Tolkien.com. I remember how much I loved that website. Actually, I met most of my online friends there, I'm still in touch with some. I also remember there was always drama, online life with all the ups and downs. It happens amongst regulars. But in time things started to change, people drifted away... You know how eventually everybody seems to get a life?

Well, to get back on topic. Sometime in 2005 I opened my first blog on livejournal.com. I went looking for it today and covered my eyes, I can't believe I wrote that! 16 to the fullest! Oh well... After that, another livejournal followed. I actually kept it up for a while... Then I switched to Wordpress, but I soon moved here, to Blogger, because Wordpress kept freezing on my poor old PC.

And I've been here ever since. I think it goes without mentioning that I like to write. :)
