K, being cheezy and completely unprofessional, this is a call for models. I'm poor as hell and need to build my portfolio, I need people of all shapes and sizes, or peoples (as in couples) to pose. Can't pay, but would be kinda of an exchange of services. I'd give a cd of the images in exchange.
If anyone is interested,
feel free to reply...

I'd also be interested... I've only modeled for hour long art classes before.
armadillofuzz:
well, hope the homework goes well. let me know if you still need a model.
So I need to start looking for a new apartment. I don't know if I want to find another roommate and stay here or find a little one bedroom or studio (most likely) that I can afford, or look into the coop thing. I did a little research online last night and need to schedule tours of the coops I'd be interested in and see...

my old bass player was in a coop. it's not bad i guess. she liked it. a little drama sometimes. playing at mac's on wednesday (march 16). it's 18 and up.
Went out last night, it was a friend's 21st and we went to Spartys to celebrate. I was the designated driver, was still a blast. Aug. 5th, everyone write that down. Big fucking bash. I want to get wasted .
At Spartys it was kind of wierd. Hated the meat market aspect of it, but said fuck it and just did what felt fun, had...

Fun to be had? I'm down!
Bah, k, guess I've come up a bit as far as mood is concerned since the last post. Fuck it.
I'm REALLY liking my typography class. It's fun and creative. Drawing on the other hand, kinda kicking my ass. I can draw the lines to start the piece, but once we get to filling it in with charcoal, yeah, I suck. Guess it's going to...

K, follows are snip bits of converstion with said boy.
boy: Let me ask you something. How do you define dating? When someone says that, what comes to mind?
me: See, I was wondering about that...
me: I'd put "seeing eachother" on the level of the getting to know eachother, but not exclusively committed. "Dating" I'd put on a level of assumed commitment.
boy: I...

I think your views may change in a few years, depending on what kind of person you are internally and what you are looking for in life. Right now having a boyfriend all to yourself is a lot different than it will be when you are 28.
The current views of dating in society are really a lot different than they were 30+ years ago. My mom can never figure it out because she said she used to see a few guys. Dating was just going out with people, and if you went out with someone different the next night, it wasn't an issue. I think that the media image of dating has altered this so that now it's either just friends, or 'going steady'. Which is odd and annoying. I don't know of any further disservice you could do to someone than only date one person in your life and then marry them (which happens).
I don't really give advice so much as experience, because I know that, chances are, people won't listen to advice anyway. In my experience, most of the things you worry about now aren't really all that important in two years. So while I'm not saying, "Hey go for this guy," I'm saying don't sweat it. If you go for him, cool whatever, if not, also cool. No need to worry, or be in a hurry.

i know yr discouraged. but hang in there. i hadn't been on a real date in a year 'n'a half before i met my girlfriend. you'll meet someone. and when you do. it will be awesome. promise.
So previoiusly mentioned boy came over today to watch The Village with me at my apartment. Kissing happened, good kissing. I like him but I'm realizing that I can't just act on my feelings, because then they never respect you. So I'm going to try different things with this one, see what happens.... And not freak out or over analyze. That is my goal.
That is my goal.

Oh, well, I'm sure I'll catch you around sometime. Besides a friends 21st is almost guaranteed to be fun.

if you find yourself freaking out, slow things down. remember to always be honest with yr feelings. the key to a good relationship, even a new one, is communication and honesty. 
So yeah, had sushi yesterday, with a boy. He was five minutes late and I had gotten there a bit early, and had myself convinced that he wasn't going to show. Then after, I was fucking bubbly as hell. 
Isn't funny how you can go from one extreme to another.

It's awesome when someone can make you feel all giddy. God I really need to fix up my place. So congrats on acomplishing that. Are you coming to bowling on the 11th?
I'm not sleeping till everything is cleaned and organized in my apartment.
Then I work all day tomorrow.
After that, I will not sleep till I have all my portfolio pics formatted for the web and a website layout in mind.

Hehe, I just finished cutting my first mat. *cheers* It only took me two hours, not because I can't do math, cause that part was done pretty quick, but the metal ruler and exacto knife method of mat cutting I don't think I'm going to highly recommend to anybody. It takes three of my girl cuts to actually cut through the board and then you...

Perhaps it's because I'm not the brightest in the world, but explain "cutting a mat" to me... if you would...
thanks..
thanks..

Mat's are the things that go around photos that you see under frames. They are there to protect and accent photos. Cutting windows in them is a lot of work.
Lemon, there are these special centering ruler thingys that probably cost $7 but will save you so much trouble. If you see anyone with a thing that looks like a small T-square ask them to show you how it works (I had no clue what they were doing with it until someone showed me then it was easy). It'll save you so much time, and your windows will be perfectly centered. Kept me sane on one project. Just my experience.

hi!
- the sekonic 358 is great - make sure to spend the extra $25 and get the PW wireless module...you may not need it now, but when you do need it - you don't have to spend $100 later!
- The AB's rock for starting out, the 1600 is the way to go if you got the $$...you can click down to 400 and not have to worry about having too much light (the 800 is bad for that) the case isn't much - doesn't hold the stand, just the light, but the stand is solid.
