...the Todd Agnew cd with Grace Like Rain (I believe that's the cd name too) and This Fragile Breath on it? If you do, could I ask for either 1) to borrow it, or 2) have a copy made for me?! I can't afford to buy it right now and won't for a while and really want it... What with school I can't really afford to get anything for a long time...

In case you didn't hear, I was hired to be the photographer for Caleb and Heather Wold's wedding... It was lovely, I was a lot less stressed than I was with Sara's... It started out that I was a few rolls short but in the end after buying more we ended up with 13 rolls and over 300 pictures, most of which are useable. We did have an attempt by you-know-who to make me freak out and get upset but I'm happy to say it didn't work... I have another wedding to attend on the 31st but this time I'm a guest... My cousin's finally getting married... Doesn't mean I won't photo... :)

Back to the Wold's wedding. The church where they got married asked me to send them any pictures of the church I got because they don't have any and would like some so I might look into contacting them soon. While people may have something to say about how I do or don't work, I have to say, if you have nothing constructive to say and it's negative or could be considered as such, don't bother because I won't hear it. (Pardon my bluntness, I'm not in the best mood right now and kind of venting.)

I'm currently in the market for a computer and another camera so if you have a computer you don't want/need and would like to donate it to the cause, I'd appreciate it. As far as camera's go, I can't ask or expect anyone to have one that they'd be willing to a) loan out, or b) give to me, so don't worry about it. (Same goes for the computer but as I'm not real rich I can use all the help I can get.)

My end goal is to provide decent and cheap, yet quality, photography services to people getting married or having some special event... Anyway, I'm tired and have a headache so I'm going to retire to my way too warm abode now...

The 18th U.S. president, Ulysses S. Grant was born Hiram Ulysses Grant, but he changed his name because he did not like his monogram, HUG.

Both ambidextrous and multilingual, 20th president of the United States James Garfield could write Greek with one hand while writing Latin with the other.

The 43rd U.S. president, George W. Bush was head cheerleader at Phillips Academy, a prep school in Andover, Massachusetts, where his father had been a legendary student leader and athlete. Nicknamed "Lip," George W. also organized an intramural stickball league at the school.

Ok so I'm really bored and wanted to do something... It was kinda funny, so the cat's sleeping up in the window right? Well he went to roll over and almost rolled off the sleep post thing, I think it embarrassed him 'cos he kinda started to sulk... If this gives anyone a clue as to how well my day's been...

Been working on a piano piece, not that I wrote, that I'm working on for a project... It's coming along well, it was really hard at first and then all of a sudden I was like, "Hmm, let's play this again." and it just came together, I was like, "Wow!" because I'd never played it with both hands before and w/o any practice at all it came together amazingly well... If only I could get one section ironed out so it sounded right.

In other news, my parents MIGHT be getting a house, of their own, in The Dalles. As it stands I'd have to move too and I don't really want to go to The Dalles, I mean I'd have my own room and I could go there whenever I wanted but I like it here and I'd miss everyone, not that I ever see anyone but I REALLY wouldn't see anyone if I moved to The Dalles... I think they find out Tuesday if it's possible and then they're going up later in the week to see if the house is still on the market... If we move I'd love to have a moving party or something, or at least a "help Phronsie move her stuff because she hates doing it and she's done it far too many times in her life" event... If it's our house I might even get to actually paint my room for the first time in my life, which would rock, and maybe I'd get to decorate it like I want and... But I really don't like T.D. and don't want to move there and...

Ok, firstly, as Torsten and I have been briefly emailing about... Junk mail... I really dislike it when you can't just hit the delete button and delete stuff 'cos you might get something important taken out... Like on Hotmail I can just hit the button and it all goes away but sometimes I have to check and make sure that people I know haven't emailed me and had it ended up in junk mail... And on Foxmail I have to pick through and delete all the junk I get for enhancing body pieces I don't have and meeting my mate that I'm not looking for and... Which is sad because I don't use my Foxmail for that much, just school stuff for the most part, it's not very secure though which is dumb and probably how I end up with most of the junk I get...

Now for emotions... What do you do when you like someone and you haven't liked anyone, as far as opposite sex goes, in like four years... I mean, what does it mean? Does it mean that your hormones were dead for four years, does it mean that you had yourself convinced for four years that you weren't going to get married any time soon so it didn't matter and now that you're a lot closer to marriage than you'd like to think it's ok to like someone, or does it just mean that you're slowly maturing?! I don't know!!! It's a pain! Furthermore, what do you do about it?! Especially if you don't really know the person but what you do know about them you like and it's not their looks. I mean you know them, but you only ever have short conversations with them in the store when you weren't really going to talk to them, but you wish you had been, and they just stop to talk to you or you say hi in church or any myriad of things like that... And it's not the kind of liking them when you think about them all the time or you get a butterflies in the stomach thing, but you like them like them it's just not an obsessed liking... And, what do you do when there's someone you like but you're not suppose to?! For example: I know this person that I used to like and apparently still sort of do 'cos it was a mutual like and it was for a long time but I'm not suppose to like him because he's been in trouble with the cops and stuff for stuff he didn't do and my parents don't know that he didn't do them 'cos they are siding with the parent(s) of said person but I'm not on that side because I know said person REALLY well and know that they would or wouldn't do undisclosed issues... What is suppose to happen? I mean I thought I didn't like said person until I saw them last summer and then my whole me was like, "Wow...", what do I do? I don't know!

Down to life in general... I really can't speak to that because I have some issues that I don't want to share out loud to the world, or at least to people who aren't involved in said issues.
