FINALLY!
We ordered figure skates!!!
No more bruised or skinned ankles! Well... soon...
They are Riedell 255TS. They are in the Instructional series and are only suggested for up to Preliminary and no higher, which is where I was when I stopped skating. But anything is better than rentals :-)
Here they are:
Now aren't they pretty ^_^

Ice Skating?
So it's been...about 3 years since I stopped ice skating.
I've been on ice skates only once since then.
But for P.E. I am going to take group lessons again.
So my "skating pants" arrived in the mail today...FINALLY!
Here's what they look like:
Mine have purple trim :)
Lessons start this monday so I'm kinda excited to see my old coach again.
Bummer is that I have to use the rental skates (although free to use) which have the worst edges in the world.
I wanna wait to buy skates until after I've had one of the teachers opinions.
So there's my life...not that anyone cares ^_^
BUH-BIE!

Here comes the sun...
I've made a decision...I'm going back into figure skating.
Well not "back into".
Just for fun.
No competing or anything like that.
If at all maybe one or two. Just for fun ^_^
To be honest here's why i'm doing it:
I want to feel like I can do something.
Ice skating used to be something I knew I could do and enjoying doing mainly because I COULD do it.
I felt powerful whether I was or not.
I felt graceful whether I was or not.
I want that again.
This may be selfish but I do WANT it.
I want to feel like there's something I can be good at.
Something I have the ability to not only do but achive doing it better.
And with this, I can. Or at LEAST I can in my head >.<
And that is something unlike anything else in my life.
Just thinking about that ice...brings me the sun...

GROUP! Join a group! n_n
I made a group! Finally...
It's my first group to ever be in so slightly confusing >.<
Being the Admin doesn't exactly help.
But the only way to get it going is for people to join so...JOIN!
The group is called Magical Dreams.
Basically for those "dreamy" photos.
I'm trying to get photos that look sooc.
I'm not a big compilation person or an artificial light type, but I will take edited photos.
No nudes. No swearing is preffered although it's obvious that I technically can't stop you unless I want to block you.
Link is in the side bar>>>
But just in case you're lazy like me... Invitation Only
Thanks!

MARIO BADESCU
Alright...this is about to be the most unrelated post to this blog you'll see for a while but... just incase anyone cares...
I got Mario Badescu skin care samples in the mail today. They are a NY located skin care company that's been running for 40 years. Pretty pricey but highly recomended especially by celebrities (hence the price).
I got the samples free from: http://www.mariobadescu.com/
Under the consulting tab, filling out the questionare and making an account, I was sent an e-mail asking me if I wanted samples. Who doesn't? No shipping? DUH!
So here's what I got:
Enzyme Cleansing Gel (cleanser)
Special Cucumber Lotion (toner)
Collagen Moisturizer (SPF-15) (day-time)
Drying Cream (acne) *I will be using this at night*
Healing & Soothing Mask (mask/acne) *2-3 times a week at night*
I really wanted the Buffering Lotion and the Drying Lotion, both products for acne but it seems as though they do not give samples for that so it might be a full price product for me :P Regardless I'm using these now as I speak so wish me luck!
(On the side to this unrelatedness... my band has now officially fallen out. But maybe I'll have more time for photos this way?)
Edit: I went to Ulta the other day and bought the Acne Repair Kit!!! The Drying lotion is AMAZING!
I also got the silver powder which i've only used once so far so i'm not sure how that's working. I may try steaming my face before I use it next time. Anyways...my skin is clearing up!!!

You ever have one of those weeks...
...or months...
...where the mood is ever changing.
Happy, sad.
Greatful, selfish.
Uplifted.
Destroyed.
I know you have. And so am I. Although up to now it's been daily.
Honestly I must say I in no way believe it has to do with being a teenager.
If it does, and I am wrong, (which may I offer up; could be very likely), then I believe we have an excuse.
Although I don't believe in excuses. There's no such thing. It is what it is and they can choose the way they'd like to take it. But regardless... being a teenager; you are stuck. You can't choose for yourself. You can't say what you want to say because it will be taken with great pain, (I suppose this is what happens when we all become so sensitive that the truth begins to kill).
And yet... we are told to grow up. Think for ourselves. Do something.
How?
~break rant here~
Ups and downs.
I tell myself "you have nothing to be upset over. Be happy. Your life is colorful and loud."
And I still manage to find ways to tone it down and crush it. Smother it in grey.
I'm done with this.
Let me be done with this.
Get out of my way, and make room for sunshine.
That's what you tell them. That's how.

Good morning my teary eyed skys
I hope everyone is having a good morning (even though as far as I'm aware no one reads this blog) :P
It's cold and wet here. I loove rain. But i don't like cold winter-like days. It's worse since it's this early in the year (p.s i'm in love with Autumn). Oh well. I have good food!
On the right, thats Oolong (best tea!) with orange blossom honey, and the "petals" from my little mini orange.

...Simple Confusion...
Those moments when you have everything to do, but the only thing you can do is stare at the sky...
I have those a lot.
The sky has so much feeling. So MANY feelings. And at the same time it's so simple.
It's got me thinking... I sort of wish I was like the sky.
Simplier. And yet more obvious in emotion.
But I guess this is what I get for being a girl.
And now that I've freaked you out with my sappy moment.
Here are some photos of the sky from my last mini-vacation:
My words of advice:
Go get a vacation.
Anywhere away from where life reminds you of how you can't keep up.
Keep it simple. Easy. At your own level. Treat yourself :p
As much as I love my family... vacations are difficult with them.
Hehe

Welcome?
HEY!
Hi?
Hello?
Well this is the first post of my new blog so I'm going to choose to tell you what it's about. It's basically about Flickr. Tee-Hee ^_^ Most of it will be about my photographs, why I haven't put pictures up (aka:my random life), or other people photo's.
Regardless...I hope you enjoy. I hope people are interested. And I hope you share this with your friends.
Have a good Weekend!
