the camera stays around the neck at all times.

survival rule #11: don't ever let go of your camera!

haha so today i had my very first voodoo donut!!!!!!!!! voodoo donuts is this way popular place downtown portland known for its crazy donuts, like maple-bacon bars! but i just had a raspberry romeo, which is basically just a jelly filled donut. and it was delicious. and even though we had to wait in line for a long while (or so it felt) and even though i ate it in like 2 seconds, it was way worth it!

sooo soo i was in downtown p-town because my crazyawesome friend katy asked me to do her senior pictures! (along with the rest of the world). and she wanted to do them someplace cool where we could find original places....and lots of brick walls....and i was so happy because i love love love doing that! taking pictures at the park all the time can get really lame and you can only push your photographing limits so much at a park. haha. so we rode the max and walked all around downtown! it was awesome and i ended getting some really great pictures! and we have some funny/crazy/wayscary stories now too....

like, for instance, katy and i were just chillin, takin some pics up agaisnt a wall of some sort, and this dude (long scragily hair and beard ish face, worn out pants and tshirt, beer bottle or something in hand, you get the idea) comes up way close to us...and we were in a parking lot or something and there weren't a ton of people around but thank goodness there were enough...and he asks us if we had 50 cents and we said no and he pretty much freaked out on us! he couldn't understand what we were living on if we didn't have 50 cents and then he was like what are ya doing and we were like oh we're just taking some pictures and i could tell katy was getting nervous and i know i was! and then he was still kinda angry and was like "well can i take a picture of the both of you" and i was like ppppppppppsssssssssssh no son you aint getting this camera! haha no, not really. but i did say no, thats fine. and then he started swearing in our faces and rambling on about sharing and crap haha and continued rambling as he walked away. and then katy and i were laughing from being so scared and it being so ridiculous. mhmm lets keep portland weird. lets just say i'm glad my expensive camera was around my neck. never let go of your camera folks, especially when theres an angry 50 cent-wanting old man in your face. and especially when your camera is your main form of getting money that you oh so very much need to live in school!!! :)

well, time to go to bed on the mattress in lydia's room and hope i don't wake up with her on my face again (which happened last night). we have a japanese exchange student staying with us for like a month so my parents made me move out of my room already even though i still had a good week and half ish left at home! grr haha. but the girl, misaki, is way nice. (just like all the other japanese exchange students we've had before).

i go back to the burrrrrrrg in exactly a week now!!!! and pray i don't die from taking-too-many-pictures-disese! loves!
