How to Get Rich off Photography

Journal Entry: Wed May 7, 2008, 9:14 PM
  • Mood: Irritated
  • Listening to: Electric Light Orchestra
  • Reading: Prince Caspian
  • Watching: Slayers Try
  • Playing: Tales of the Abyss

Well. I found out how to make a steady career in photography today.

STEP ONE: Get a whole lot of money

STEP TWO: Buy an uber fancy camera, like the Nikon D300.

STEP THREE: Travel the world and see amazing places, and somehow figure out how to get all the rest of the tourists to leave so you can get a clear shot.

STEP FOUR: Know someone in National Geographic so you can sell them your pictures.

STEP FIVE: Get rich from selling your photos.


I dunno. Just a thought.

I also caught a journal virus from :iconrinoa36:

75 questions. Dang.

Before it starts, I tag :icondrcasey: Revenge for tagging me with that 100 question virus a few months ago.

===========================================


1.Where did you kiss the last person you kissed?

Never kissed anyone other than my mom and dad on the cheek when I was younger. Though I did kiss my cat on his head earlier today. X3

2.What’s the greatest thing that happened to you today?

I watched a bunch of Slayers Try. But other than that, nothing great has happened today.

3. How many TRUE best friends do you have?

I don’t think I have any best friends, really.. Looking five years into the future, I wouldn’t be surprised if I have nothing to do with my current friends. Though it’s hard to categorize online friends..

4.Would you rather get up early or sleep in?

Sleep in, but not any later than 10, or I feel like I’ve wasted too much of the day.

5.Tell me about the shirt you’re wearing?

That’s not a question; there shouldn’t be a question mark at the end of that sentence. I’m wearing a red t-shirt with the Nintendo logo on it.

6. What are you excited about right now?

I’m not excited about anything, but I am looking forward to being done with school. Forever.

8. Would you rather smile over a lie or cry over the truth?

I’d rather cry over the truth. Because if I smile over a lie and find out it’s a lie later.. That would be worse in my opinion.

9. What’s on your bedroom floor right now?

My laptop with some Boston Acoustic speakers hooked up to it. And my cat Fable is laying next to me.. And the Abbey Road Beatles record and Simon and Garfunkel’s Greatest Hits record. Yes. I prefer my dad’s records over CDs. >_>

10. Who’s the last person you got into a argument with?

I had a small argument with my mom about time and how I manage it earlier today.

11. Do you trust people?

Generally not.

12. If you could move away, no questions asked, where would you move?

Probably a mansion in Duluth. Bet you don’t know where Duluth is. :P No one does these days.

13. Your favorite number?

Favorite number? I dunno. There are too many to choose from..

14. Could you go a day without eating?

Yes, I’ve done it before and I can do it again.

15. How much do looks matter to you in a guy/girl?

They definitely matter.

16. Do you like anybody right now?

I like my friends and family. But as far as liking anybody.. No.

17. When was the last time you had your hair cut?

I don’t really remember, I think a few months ago.

18. Would you rather be mad or sad?

Mad. It’s easier for me to get over being angry than being sad.

19. Does it take a lot to make you cry?

Yes.. A whole lot.

20. Whats the best feeling in the world?

Aw, come on. I already gave a long answer to that for my last tag.

21. Are you close with your mom?

I love all my family members. O_o So yeah.

22. Are your parents strict?

Just strict enough.

23. Do you tell your parents everything?

Who does? XD I don’t tell anyone everything.

25. Name some fears you have:

Deep water.. Death.. Nothing else I can think of at the moment.

26. Does the thought of marriage scare you?

If it did, I would have put it on my list for the last question. It doesn’t scare me. And I don’t want to get married because I want to spend all my money on myself.

27. How many kids do you want?

None. Because I’m not getting married. And even if I did I wouldn’t want any. They’re spendy and noisy.

28. What’s your favorite season?

Season 2 of Slayers. Wait. You mean time of year? Early autumn.

29. What’s your favorite color to wear?

Red and dark green.

30. Who was the last person in your bedroom?

My brother. Chasing one of the cats in there.. >_>

31. What are you doing today?

School. Watching Slayers. Cleaning the house for the weekend (Mother’s Day, my birthday).

35. Do you get bored easily?

Depends on where I am. If I’m home, usually not. If I’m in a place that involves being around a lot of people, then yes.

36. What’s something that someone can do that really bothers you?

Oh, where to start? When people talk about themselves like I’m interested in what they have to say. Or if they start giving their opinions on everything under the sun. Or if someone stereotypes me.. I like anime? Then I must like Naruto. I’m a girl? Then I must like romance/drama movies. I like anime and I’m a girl? Then I must like yaoi. Man, the list of annoyances could go on. But I won’t rant about it; rants are boring to read.

37. Did you ever want to change your name when you were younger?

Yes I did. And I still do.

38. Do you wish you were famous?

It all depends on why I’m famous, and if I’m famous enough to have the money to hire guys in black suits and sunglasses to murder paparazzis who stalk me.

39. Do you make a wish at 11:11?

Never heard of doing that.. So no.

40. When you go to the beach do you swim or lay out more?

Well, I hate swimming, and lying in the sun is boring and pointless. All the beaches here are combined with other things like bike/walk paths since we only have lakes and the ocean is thousands of miles away. So I go for walks or take pictures of wildlife.

41. Who’s the last text message you received from and what did it say?

Hm. The person who wrote this didn’t know how to write. Who did I receive my last text message from and what did it say? It was sent by my cousin Jessica, and it read “I suddenly feel small, green, and courageous…” Because I sent her a picture of the Wind Waker Link. XD

42. What are you freakishly obsessed with?

O_o I don’t think I’ve been freakishly obsessed with anything since I was eight years old during the Pokemon invasion. And besides, my obsessions these days aren’t really obsessions, just phases of fandom. As of right now, the things I’m having fun with are The Slayers and Tales of the Abyss. I don’t have time for anything else. After school is over I can guarantee I’ll be adding a few more.

43. What’s your favorite song at the moment?

I listen to too many genres of music to have one favorite song of the moment. But for the last few months my most played albums have been Ghost in the Shell soundtracks. Yoko Kanno equals genius. I also like the Star Ocean 3 soundtrack, Air Harmony and Around the Wilderness being two of my favorite tracks.

44. Do you like going to the mall to shop or just shopping online?

Well, I can’t buy stuff online because I don’t have a credit card. And my parents don’t want me buying stuff online because it involves using their credit card. I like going to the Mall of America just because it’s a huge and interesting place. But I barf at the thought of spending money on their new theme park. Camp Snoopy was the best ever, I still have ride tokens from it..

45. Can music affect your mood?

Hm.. It helps me focus on homework. And when I’m in a bad mood, listening to melancholy melodies helps me even out my emotions to a more positive level. And when I hear music I hate, of course I get in a more agitated mood.

46. What piercings do you want?

Want? None. I don’t have any and I don’t plan on getting any.

47. Do you have cankles?

The heck? *looks it up* No.

48. Have you ever been in a cave?

Crystal Cave in Wisconsin and Mammoth Cave in Kentucky. Both interesting experiences. I’d like to go again.

49. Ever eaten a bug?

Not that I’m aware of. Unless you count unavoidable microscopic insects..

50. When will you hang out with the person you last kissed next?

Like I said before, the only humans I’ve kissed are my parents when I was little.

51. Are you in a good mood? Right now?

I’m in a slightly annoyed mood. I’m in the living room and my mom and sister were watching American Idol. I hate that karaoke show.

52. Do you look up to anyone?

Well, I kind of have to look up when I talk to people taller than I am. But other than that.. I never thought about it before. Living at the moment real life people? Probably no one.

53. Would you rather skydive or bungee jump?

Bungee jump.. Looks more fun.

54. Do you like snakes?

Yes, I love my snakes. They love me.

55. What’s one place you would like to visit?

Just one place? I’d like to go on vacation to the island in the first Myst game and visit all the different ages.. Wait, real life place? Hm. I don’t know. I’d have to do some research first.

56. Do you like waffles?

I had some this morning. They were kind of bland. We need fancier recipes before we make them at home.

57. Does the number 23 have any significance to you?

Blood takes 23 seconds to travel through your body. But no other reason I can think of.

58. Be honest, do you like people in general?

No I don’t. People are generally idiots.

59. What color are the walls in your bedroom?

White. With oak wainscoting.

60.Do you think starbucks is expensive?

I don’t like coffee, so I have no opinion on that. And when I go to a coffee shop, it’s usually Caribou Coffee. And then I get other beverages.

61. Are you named after a family member?

No, I’m not.

62. Say you were given a drug test right now, would you pass or fail?

Pass, of course.

63. Do you want to tell someone something?

Huh? Not that I can think of.

64. Last restaurant you went to?

Hm.. I rarely eat out. Perkins though. And I hated it, they were out of half the menu items. But I don’t think my cousin ever would have guessed he’d end up playing his viola in Perkins at midnight. Poor guy.

65. What is the weather like today?

Well right now it’s almost 10:30 pm. Not exactly today. I think the high was in the lower 60’s though.. And the first sunny day we’ve had in a week. The April showers were late this year.

66. What happened yesterday?

Yesterday.. I gave a presentation at school. And I didn’t mess up.

67. What would you do with five million dollars?

Buy a million dollar house, install a home theater, buy a red Ferrari, and save the rest of the money.

68. How many hours did you sleep last night?

Hm.. seven or eight hours? I really can’t remember.

69. Any upcoming concerts you want to attend?

Yeah.. A Rush one later this month. But of course I can’t go. >_> Concerts cost too much.. I don’t think I’ve ever been to a concert I wanted to go to.

70. Who’s the last person that you felt was stalking you?

:iconninepercent:

71. Have you ever been on your school’s track team?

No.

72. Have you cried today?

No. XD

73. Do you think that someone is thinking about you right now?

Right now? Whoever is reading this journal probably is.

74. Does it annoy you when someone says they’ll call, but never do?

No. I hate talking on the phone. I can’t remember if anyone has ever said they’ll call me anyway.

75. What did you dress up as for Halloween?

Many things. Haven’t decided what I’ll be this year though.

I've noticed lately that at the weirdest times The Hang just won't load. And it's usually from around 5-10 minutes at a time. I think Proboards is doing lots of maintenance or something.

Yep. I first noticed the changes yesterday, but I still haven't gotten used to them. This morning I thought five people were on at the same time because of that "Active in the past 24 hours" feature. Here's a list of the changes I've noticed.

1. "Active Users in the Past 24 Hours". Most obvious change.

2. You can change whether you show up as online or not (Users Online, click X), I think. Haven't tested this out yet. Kind of a pointless feature for a small forum like ours, since I can just view a profile if I want to know whether they've been online.

3. Members List rearranged. Now it's set to alphabetical order by default. Originally it was some strange, random order I could never figure out. Didn't go by post count, join date, member status, or alphabetical order.

4. You can jump to certain pages by entering a number.

5. View the ten most recent posts. It used to display the post number, ala "Reply # 862" or whatever. Now it goes "Result # 1, Result # 2", etc.

6. I have it set up so that I'm notified by email whenever I get a new private message (not that I really need it given how often I visit, but I like to have that feature in place anyway). That feature might have been disabled; I had two new messages this morning, but nothing in my Gmail Inbox.

That's everything I've noticed so far. Wouldn't be surprised if the changes are even more extensive, though.
~Fa-chan:iconFa-chan: Apr 14, 2008, 10:31:17 AM
I am proud. Very proud. I'll try and go on a spree within the next two days.

Did you notice The Hang is a bit different? Seems like Proboards made a few little updates here and there.
