Fallink in luff again

I don't think I've been as pleased with how my photos have turned out since...God, I don't even know. Whenever I looked at my camera I just felt all "What's the point? I'll spend ages taking photos, editing them, and I won't even like the result"
But not today, me babbers! I likey the results very mucho = ).
I woke up and saw that it was all cloudy and raining, meaning the light was all...hum, what's the word? Sort of spread out. (Update: The word is diffused =D) Anyway, it was coming through the curtains and looked pretty. Before I knew it there were sheets and white flowingnesses everywhere which made for really neutral photos which meant I could edit them in just about anyway I wanted. So here they are!
























Probably the least edited, just played with curves to contrast, converted to black and white and added red and yellow to the shadows for a slight sepia.

















Can't actually remember what I did to this, although I know I used spotlight doodahs, a peachy one in the bottom right and a grey/brown one in the top left.




















Really annoyed that I chopped the top of my head of in this one..
Although it looks light a black and white, I only actually took the red out of it. Cropped, obviously, and slightly contrasted - it's still fairly flat.

















I usually prefer photos, particularly portraits, to have a bluer tone to them so this was quite different editing for me. I contrasted with curves as usual and then added a peach spotlight at the bottom.

























My personal favourite = ).
Used curves to contrast, added blue and magenta to the shadows and yellow (I think..) to the highlights, then lightened some more with curves.

And that be it for today!

New

Internets, internets! My beeeaauutiful internets are back! A week and a day seems like a lifetime without my biggest source of entertainment.

Anyway, I have moved house. Not to the house we thought we were moving to though. Here begins the story of the houses *Dramatic dream sequence opening*
Sorry, it's not actually that interesting
*Lower budget, less dramatic dream sequence opening*
Well, about three days before moving day my parents found out that our new house was built on a landfill near lots of lovely toxic chemicals. It also didn't have enough parking. Thus, the search began for a property readily available to rent in 3 days time. Luckily, we found one and are now...erm...well, we're in it at least. Not quiiite settled yet. You realise just how much stuff you have when you move to somewhere a third of the size.

So the last week has been a full-to-the brim adventure of unpacking, moving other people's stuff from your room, finding they've moved it back again, moving it once more, arguing about where to move it, building wardrobes, dropping wardrobe doors on your face (Yep, that's possible), slicing open thumbs and so on and so forth. Generally a bit crap and vair vair dull.

But I did get my hair cut.
Wanna see?
No?
Tough, this be my blog and I choose what you see round here =P
















































I keep putting it up like this:
XD




















Yes, I am fully aware I look, how you say, a right wally =P. And those are false eyelashes.

There is an apple tree in our new garden.
















And that's all I have to say about that = )

Rawr.

I'm feeling all aggressive. I'm not angry or upset or anything. I just wanna hit things =D. But instead of doing that I'm gonna type here.
It's probably due to the fact that a) I am reeaally bored and b) My head hurts a lot and has done all day.
I can't wait until half term. Ahhh the freedom. I luuurve Halloween and Bonfire Night.
Craap there is chocolate spread on my jumper!! Sorry, I just noticed that...Oh well *lick*.
Um. So. I am gonna get my hair cut soon. I think I'll get a proper fringe instead of a slopy one. But I want it sort of choppy. And some layers. Lizzy also wants a fringe and layers. So Lizzy doesn't want me to get one because then, if she does too, we will "look like twins"
This is Lizzy:
























This is me:























So you can see what she means.
=S
(Sorry for the scary photo)

Hey, my aggressiveness has poofed away! How lovely.

So then.
Every Thursday Immi and I get to stand in the 6th former dining room telling year 7 - 11s that they aren't allowed to pass through because it is the law. Every 6th former has to do a duty and that is ours. I have to say I've always thought it was the most pointless rule ever - that only 6th formers have the "privilege" of walking through the dining room, but now I understand it. They enforce that rule because it is SO much fun telling people they can't walk through! OHHH THE POWER!! Mwahahhahahah.

Ahem.

What other crap can I ramble about?
Oh yes.
I went to see the orthodontist the other day. Hungarian bloke with funny ears. He told me my teeth weren't too small which is "good for the girls" I don't know quite what he was insinuating there.
He did a mould of my teeth and I seriously thought I would be stuck with a metal thing full of plaster in my mouth forever, he took so long and so much force to get it out.
Anyhoo, he's going to study the moulds and I may or may not end up with braces.

On the way back there was a double rainbow which had faded a bit by the time I got home but I still managed a photo or two:










































SOOC, I'm afraid.

Monday, October 01, 2007

Well this bug thing has fully taken over now. My head feels a bit funny so I won't stay long.
I think this will be a ranting post.
Firstly, I have soooo much Biology homework, including a 2 page essay on water = /. Blahhh.
I am still totally uninspired, photographically (is that even a word??)
Look at my latest 52 weeks attempts:








































I really want some potato!! That craving just suddenly appeared =S. Grarr all I can think about is potatoes now.
I cannot waaiit to move house (in 15 days =D) and have a briiight room.
I'm thinking of becoming a goth. Seriously. I just love the clothes. Not the attitude and such...but the clothes =P.
Ummm is that all the ranting I have to do??
Oh yes, I lost my phone. But that's sort of a good thing because now I can get a much nicer phone =D.
Ok, yep, I'm done.
Oh wait, I can't waaiit til half term.

ok, bye now!
