Quick Update

So I feel like nothing note-worthy is really happening in my life so I haven't really updated, let alone it's taking forever for me to go through and edit all my photos from my Seattle trip.

The biggest excitement is that my sister just accepted a job offer here at NSU! She'll be working as a graphic designer in the Communications & Marketing department. I'm so excited to be able to see her more often. :) She's my absolute best friend and I really am super happy to have her here.

I've been wanting to snap some pics of my outfits to post, but I hate trying to find somewhere by myself to set up a tripod and take photos. Hopefully, I can get her to go out on a couple of adventures with me so I can get some photos to post. :)

My first day of class was Monday. It's kind of weird being back in class. It was quite amusing when my professor asked me after class, "Didn't you graduate?" "Yes, I did." I know quite a few people in my class which is nice, but no one I'm exactly best friends with. At least I know who to connect with for notes and studying. It should be a good year.

Someone I follow on tumblr is obsessed with Bioshock so half of my feed is just screen caps from the games. Btw, you can follow me on tumblr at lemonslimetree I decided I'd finally give in and buy the game - ok, so my boyfriend bought it for me, isn't he a sweetheart?  I finally got around to playing it last night. Holy crap, I had no idea how ridiculously creepy this game actually is. Honestly, I've never played a true fps by myself. I mostly play RP's and turn-based games. I actually shrieked last night when a splicer jumped out at me. I'm not sure yet if I'll be able to actually make it through the rest of this game without becoming completely paranoid.

Try and tell me this isn't creepy coming out of nowhere and attacking you.

That's really about it going on for me. I'm still looking at possibilities for jobs more closely related to my field. Not much luck so far, so I'm still crossing my fingers that something good will show up for me. Send some good vibes my way!

Seattle Photo Tour

So I said I'd update with more about my Seattle trip. I'm not sure I really explained what it was so here you go.
The trip was a photography class where we got to visit and experience the life of Seattle. It was our job to capture the city through our camera lens'.

I've stared at my photos for far too long to edit them down to my best which I had about 150 photos that were great. Then I had to edit those down to around 30 to turn in for class. Even better yet is that I have to narrow those down to about 3 or 4 to have printed, matted, and framed. Not sure how I'm going to get through all of this. *sigh*

I was so worried before the trip because I only knew one person going, besides my instructor and his wife, and I didn't even like her because she went on my last photo tour to Chicago and was rather rude to me and others. I quickly made some great and amazing friends to spend the week with. My instructor and I commented on how the dynamics of this group were so different than the one to Chicago. While in Chicago, most of us had our own cliques and spent the majority of the trip with that group. In Seattle, we could easily contact any other person in the group who would willingly go with us somewhere and I got to spend my time with a different person/group every day.

We had some amazing and crazy adventures to say the least.

I'll go ahead and add different posts for each day and just back track the date on them later so you can see what happened each day without having to read through a monstrous post in one sitting.

Breezy Summers in Seattle

I just got back from my trip to Seattle for my photography class. I was all excited to blog from Seattle. We see how that worked out, lol. There was just so much to do there and I was absolutely exhausted coming in each night. I still have so many photos to edit! I absolutely loved it there. It was an amazing, much needed vacation.

It was interesting to wear leggings and jackets outside during summer. There's absolutely no way that would ever happen here in Oklahoma this time of year. The weather is great, although it was still a bit chilly for my taste. I was actually surprised to see that their winters on average are still warmer than ours. How odd. I think I just might move to Seattle now. I'll just work a music gig on the corner and I'll be set. lol

I'll blog a bit more another time about my photos and experiences there. It was absolutely a perfect vacation. :)

Random Musings?

Not quite sure what I'm doing with this really... Guess I'll just be putting up random stuff that comes to mind.


I love photography and art, but I'm really not fond of the Mass Communication classes that come with my major. If there's anything that I really got out of my Mass Comm classes, it's got to be a new and more in depth understanding and interest in social networking.

I love anything with social networking and new technology; the idea behind sending an update of text, pictures, or videos at any moment from anywhere. It used to be an interest just because it was a way to keep in touch with people and it was what everyone else was doing. Now I've started joining other networks just to see something new and how it works.

Even now, I barely know anyone with a Twitter, but I love it. It's a great way to update and I would probably prefer it over Facebook if more people used it. Twitter is direct enough to keep my interest. Half the time I do anything with Facebook, it's just to play games.

A new network I've been checking out is Tumblr. So far of what I've picked up on, it's kind of like Twitter but you post a picture directly to your page instead of just a link to click on. My biggest issue with Tumblr is trying to update from your phone. There's an iPhone app, but for anyone without an iPhone, it's basically impossible to update from your phone.

If anyone has any other suggestions for networking sites to check out, pleas let me know! I still need to look into LinkedIn and I'm still developing my opinion about Blogspot.


That's all for know, I'll try and keep you all updated frequently enough.
