I finally made the first step.
I had been planning on spending the vacations on various personal projects, now that I actually have free time to chill (arquitorture was killing me D.
So anyway, I had already been doing a lot of fun stuff with my friends (more on that later).
But when vacations were finally here, I found myself lazying around, all day (*gasp* who could’ve thought!). And the worst part, guess what I was doing?

Facefuckingbook.

That’s right. The world’s biggest procrastinating weapon.
Facebook.
I found myself sitting around, playing stupid applications.
Or checking people’s profiles.
And waiting for new notifications to pop up.
I thought that if I checked it enough I’d eventually check all my notifications, and find nothing else to do.

Wrong.

The more you use it, the more it uses you. I’d go take a shower, and eat dinner, and I’d find 20 new notifications to check. Fuck.
And then I’d log in on dA, and find the journals and watchlist piling up and up.
Fuck that. I spend all my time keeping up with facebook (more like gossipbook), and couldn’t pay attention to my art?

So I just did it.
Right there.

I closed my facebook.

I’m on vacations people, I cannot handle society right now. Not 24/7, not inside my effin’ house.

And I’ll tell you something.
Damn.

It feels goooooooooood! ;]





You might’ve noticed I’m actually posting, and commenting and stuff.

Well dA?
Glad to be back.

*whacks whammy*
Boy, I've been waiting to truly play that song on Guitar Hero for a looong while.

Today was officially my last day of school (damn makeup calculus tests!) So I'm completely free now.
I'm only waiting for Wednesday, which is the day of my graduation.
We senior in Dominican Republic have this tradition of making a lot of money through school, and then use it to party and have a blast, however we see fit.

Basically, we spend the entire high school years rising up money, and when we finally hit senior year, and end school, we use it to pay a trip for the whole senior class.
We all go to a beach resort for as little as a weekend, and up to a whole week, depending on the money we've raised.
We all go to a beach resort, pay up rooms for everyone, and party. A lot.
This means we get all the food we can eat, all the alcohol we can drink, and all the sun we can get tanned on before our skins start to peel.

I'm not sure how many places out there have this sort of traditions, but it's a neat way to say goodbye to your childhood friends.



So anyway.
Being on vacations really gives me a lot more free time.
And my usual computer's not currently functioning.
This is usually bad news. And it kinda is, because most of my processed pictures, ready to upload, where over there.
But I'm used to having my stuff fuck up, so I was sure to make... various backups.
I just need to reprocess now, which is not that big of a deal.



I'm actually happy with this, because my computer is in a really tight room, along with my brother's and another one. People are always going in and out of that room, and, well...
It really feels like an office job, at my own house.
Just more uncomfortable, because i don't even have enough desk room to draw anything.
Now I have confiscated my dad's laptop (he never uses it. Ever. we have to check his email for him. He just wants to call it his), and have it in my room, till they fix mine.
Now I'm more comfortable, and have enough room for the drawing.


And now, for the bigger, more important news:

*drums*

My mom bought me a new camera as graduation/birthday present!!!111oneoneoneeleven
*fwoosh*


She got me a Canon Rebel XTi, with a 18-55mm lens.
She also gave me a wide angular lens she had gotten for herself, because the pricks at the store had told her it was universal for the Canon cameras.
It doesn't fit her EOS D5, but it fits mine. So Yippie!
Now I just have to get a ring thing to invert it and be able to use it as a Macro lens as well.
My godmother's also getting my a lens for my camera. I'm hoping it has a lot more reach than my current one.

So anyway. I've got my first shoot planned with ~Stevieberg this Sunday. I've been cooking up a lot of ideas these past months, and now I've got the medium to use them, so, with all the free time, you might be seeing a lot of me from now on.

I'll try to upload some of the new pictures on Monday or Tuesday, but on Wednesday's my graduation, and I'll be gone until next week, so see you around then.

...Still.

I know I've been lurking for the past months.
I know I haven't updated my journal since like February.
I'm guilty.

I haven't had a camera for a while. And i've been effing busy with school. But this is my last week of school exams.. ever, and that's got me really exited.

So anyway.
I realized I should've updated -something-, and then I figured i have a lot of pictures lying on my computer I never uploaded, which I might be doing on the next couple of days.

On happier news.
Both my mother and I are getting new cameras.
We ordered hers for mother's day, and it should be arriving around these week.
She wanted a Canon, and a good one at that.
I won't get mine till a little before graduation, maybe, in like a month. But at least I'm getting it.

Though, there's NO WAY I'll sit around and not use hers to upload something in the meantime

Well, this all means you'll start seeing more of me from now on, instead of just lurking, and the occassional comments on your deviations.
