Modeling Images Talent Agency... hmm?

So, going to try to keep it short, since I'm running over my Midnight = bedtime, time. Today was long. Long and a bit rough. Some exciting things, but the days are starting to drag into each other. Which I don't want. It's already a month into my final semester as a senior. Before I know it, I'll have blinked and be graduating. What a year this will have been. =)

On the way home, tired and sleepy, God poked me and I called a number I've had for almost a year now. Last spring, passed around Pope was a flier kind of thing that was for a Modeling/Talent group. I had no idea what it was about, but took the number down anyway just in case for some reason something came up and I wanted it. Not really sure why. Guess it was Gods prompting. A year after, today, I called it. I was extremely disappointed I had not called sooner. Had a wonderful conversation with Ms. Henry and am excited about some possibilities. Next Tuesday I'll be going in to talk with her about future options or thoughts. Until then we'll be in touch.

Also VERY excited for snowboarding! I guess I won't be able to blog for Sat and probably Sunday, but I'll figure out something to do instead. Going to be so fun!

Still have a drawing to finish, so I'm off. Thanks for reading!

"Look back and miss what has gone.
Recognize the ending of a song.
No more shall we sing along.
Was I so in the wrong?
I miss, so miss, what we had."

Night!

Yeeeeah...

BLARGH! Today was fascinating. Started off really nice, getting to sleep in. No headache, till about 10, then it started once again. Tried to go to clinic, first was closed. Got sad. Went home. Head still hurting. Dad drove to CVS. No sinus infection, no brain tumor, just migraine. Have pills. Joy. So yeah, spent most of the afternoon between napping, reading Catch-22, and trying to ignore headache. Watched Surrogates, good good movie! Very possible reality for the future. Fascinating. Missed Miranda. She was painting so I can't wait to see painting. Drew a bit tonight while chatting with friends and skyping. Drew some pretty ok drawings of characters. Still haven't a clue what I'm doing for AP art. Yet. NEED to decide but hope God sheds some light on the subject. ^^

Tomorrow should be a lot of fun, if not necessarily busy. REMEMBER TO RECORD GOV DISCUSSION! XD

Poem.... poempoempoempoempoempoem:

"What is the meaning of life?
Seeing thine flamoth woif."

Well, more of an anagram. Or whatever it is when you change the letters around.
Kitty cat waiting for me to go to bed. Night world! Will hopefully give you a better one tomorrow. XD

Art Muse, where have thou gone?

Hmmm, lacking in art... well, I have a lot of art and as always people are telling me I'm fantastic... but I'm just not up to par of where I want to be. This happens on occasion and after a couple months I'll finally hit home where I'm pushing myself to be at. But I need it to happen now, especially going into art portfolio submitting and stuff like that... Urgh...

Aw... a friend posted a tumbler about missing a guy she loved a ton and wishing she had him back. Reminded me of a really good song. ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lZp6pmgbZyU ) Should Miranda and I break up, I pray that we will always be friends. Dating is an experiment. It helps you learn more about you and follow Gods stepping stones into the arms of the one He has created for you. For me.

Anyway, got PJ's planned for tomorrow. After school got to come back to the house, change, and then go submit Kennesaw Application/mail it. More gas usage... fun. >_< No job replies yet. Erg.

"To hug you,
To kiss you,
To tuck you,
To pat you,
To punish you,
To teach you,
To guide you,
To help you,
To show you,
To lead you,
To push you,
To let you,
To wish you,
To dream you,
To protect you,
To allow you,
To discipline you,
To embrace you,
To sing you,
To dance you,
To be with you every step of life,
To love you.
To be a mother of a daughter, of a son, of a child, of you."

A poem for mi madre. *huggles Mom* Love you!

Art, art, art, and the fragility of life...

Super late, so making this simple and short... again. *sigh*

Been doing a lot of art. Fills my head and I seem to just be waiting for the next moment I have a pencil in my hand. Doing some new experimentation art in class, but it's a slow process, at least to make good art. It's... new, so it's not as good as much stronger stuff. But I want to branch out. Play around. Experiment. Have fun. We'll see how the next week goes. Along with my portfolio collection. Hmm.... Anyway, really hoping God has a plan for college, cause I sure need all the help I can with that. Along with a job. Gotta do the searching tomorrow. Ack. Something else I was supposed to do as well besides Zacksbies and that other place. Eh... maybe I'll remember it tomorrow. But praying throughout the day made it a lot better. Wrote "Pray" on a hand just as a reminder and when I saw it, it helped me have that new outlook and send a short prayer to God. Maybe eventually I can always talk with Him. That's the hope. =) Also, from now on going to pray over a picture before I start it. Dedicate it to His glory, that way whatever I do will be done for Him. Tis my plan anyway...

Friend of some of my good friends died today. Or so the story goes. From what I've heard and read which is limited, there was a shooting in the small town of Appomattox VA and included in the victims was a girl who had gone to Hightower with a number of my friends when they were there. It's a scary thing to think that one day, someone I know well won't ever sign in to Facebook again. Won't answer a text. Won't pass by in the hallway with a smile. Won't live any longer. It's a scary thing. But a real thing. Life is short. Fragile. With so much ahead of each one of our lives, how can we live to be mean to someone? How can you curse at someone if the next day they no longer live? How could you live knowing that you won't ever get a chance to say goodbye, nor even a simple nice word? How much better off would the world be if each time we thought something mean or harsh, we changed it for a compliment, a compliment we really meant?

Wow... 1 Am...

"Late nights, thoughts of you
Dreams dreamed, am I the fool?
Wait, slow, God knows His plan
One day I will change from boy to man."

No clue what that is or what it means.
Just something...

Bed. Now.
Night!

Ice, Ice, Baby!

Had tons of fun today playing on the ice, because it was more of an ice day than a snow day. Did a lot of snow skiing. ^^ Went over to Jeff's in the morning with Andrew only to find Jeff had gone my house in the meantime. XD Stayed at Jeff's till he got there and we hung out most of the day doing things such as ice sliding, ice ball throwing, puzzle building, and car pushing. Rescued my Sis and another guys trucks who had gotten them stuck on patches of ice on a certain hill. Lots of fun. Anyway, college apps, cheese burgers, and drawing tomorrow. =)

Actually, probably going to be up uber late tonight drawing a picture for an art contest on DA. Will let you guys know how it turns out. Though so far things are pretty... eh... XD

Poem, poem...

"'Beauty 'tis in the eye of the beholder',
So goes the quote as the ages have told her.
Yet we judge beholders as good or bad,
If we agree or disagree with what was said."

Night!

Avatar 3D, 3rd time.

And today's reading comes from Proverbs 21:
1: The king's heart is in the hand of the LORD,
Like the rivers of water: He turns it wherever He wishes.

2: Every way of a man is right in his own eyes,
But the LORD weighs the hearts.

3: To do righteousness and justice
Is more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice."

Great passage, talking about how, while we humans have our own rights and free will, we should be following Christ so much that we allow Him to work through us and to lead us "by still waters." The more we let Him guide us, the more peaceful our life will be. It won't be easy, and in fact will more likely be harder, but we will have peace in the knowledge that God is there and, to quote Allstate, "We're in good hands." What hands can be better to be in than Gods? Our sight is limited, so let's let God choose the paths for us to walk on.

In other news, I'm really, really, really frustrated with the Art teacher at Pope. Not enough time to explain, but she has no idea how to teach and I'd rather not end up going through another semester of self teaching and her taking all the credit. *sigh*

Saw Avatar for a 3rd time, second time in 3D. Dozed through the slow parts because I could practically quote the movie by now, but still in love with it. By the time you've watched a movie this many times paying super close attention, you start to see the mistakes. =P Three times in three weeks, I noticed quite a bit this last time. But still an outstanding movie. Always will be. Will have to post some of my fan art sometime soon.

Missing hanging out with Miranda... Will have to remedy that soon. Gas munny! >_<

Night all!

"Take a chance, take a risk.
Play the game, spin the disk.
Turn it up, turn it down
Inside out and all around!
You trip, you fall
You might lose the ball,
But each moment you learn
To take a different road turn.
The destination may be pretty,
But life is all about the journey!"
