a break from the reflections.
Indulgences: mcdonalds parfait, snack wrap, softserve, x 3, hugging chubs too much, sleeping way too late, getting a bunch of asian food/bringing it back, take-away shows, pretty foods
Love: crunchy leaves. food blogs, fashion blogs, people/strangers that do unnecessary nice things
A bit about me: i'm girly and yet not at the same time, I like respectful people and people with fabulous manners, i stick up for the underdog
Desire:DSLR, trapper hat, a ribbon bow thing, chunky scarf, cold weather, not dry weather, palos verdes, joining an acapella/singing, getting involved, GOOD FOOD, europe to come back
Listening to: Santogold:creator, some good ol' ingrid, blogotheque take-away shows: this one is AMAZING(it's tegan and sarah singing feel it in my bones. it gives me chills.), to build a home by cinematic orchestra
So a couple days ago, I was walking back from class, and for some reason, I tried to look at my school through a photographer's point of view. I was craving a photoshoot and wanted to take pictures in this empty valley sort of thing next to my dorm. I have it all in my mind already: a girl in indie-esque clothing. clothing that's summery/ spring wear, that's light. preferably a dress that's colored or white. doing some sort of mid-air pose like dancing alone.
Something about the dead plants sparked this image/idea in my mind that it'd be beautiful to contrast the dead field with an incredibly lively subject.
Second shot: there are these green vine arches near the bike rack that I thought would make an adorable couple shoot. Possibly a shot from one side of the arch looking through the arches. with the couple leaning on one side of the arch.
These don't make quite much sense as I describe them, but I have it all in my mind. (:
I want an SLR.
I'm craving culture, inspiration, art, imagination, excitement. I want/need to find a different side of Riverside. I refuse to spend countless weekends here doing nothing, holed up in the dorms constantly saying "so,.. what shall we do now..?" and end up sitting, doing nothing, watching people play computer games. I need adventure or culture. I'm planning on going to see the photography museum sometime soon. Hopefully I'll find someone that's interested in going with me. if not, oh well.. I'm still determined to go.
What do college kids do in their spare time?
I'm REALLY curious. i feel like it's just gaming, partying/drinking, studying, eating, or sleeping.
sigh. :[
the only good thing about Riverside's dry weather: EXTRA CRUNCHY LEAVES. it's so satisfying when you step on a leaf and it crumbles into pieces with that loud CRUNCH. puts a smile on my face. (:
I NEED GOOD FOOD. i didn't realize how many good asian food was near where i lived. not only good asian food: but just good FOOD in general. of different cultures. oohhh how i miss i so much. In need of a trip to LA for good food? yessss indeed.
I just looked through some of my europe pictures again. and oh how i miss it so badly. the perfect amount of adventure, laid back/relaxation, culture, delicious food, friends, activeness, GAH. :[ europe. come back.
I tried to watch babies the other day,... it was awkward. I'm thinking of trying to give it another shot someday. maybe on my own, try to see if i can appreciate the art of the movie, see if I can actually embrace the different cultures between the babies and the cuteness of the babies and not be distracted/appalled at the too revealing nature of the cinematography.
Another movie that I might need to try again: amelie. it was way too graphic in certain scenes, and quite odd in general, but i may need to keep an open mind.
alright, enough random blabbering for the day.
Adieu! and you and you and you!
Love, Heather
