[02 Nov 2009|04:23pm] tasteyourlips I would just like to state that I am angry with America's Best contacts and lenses because they won't let me order contacts! And I don't care if it's policy but my eyes are fine and I really don't have the extra cash to go in and get a new prescription so now I am stuck with my glasses and I really miss my contacts. So dumb! And everything else I could update about are just more meaningless rants except for; halloween the night before anyway, was pretty fun and dressing up is my favorite. They started playing christmas music at work and I love it! It was nice being out of work by 3 today and i have wednesday off, yessss! My little brother and his friends are downstairs playing D&D. I am so disappointed in him; he should be out getting drunk and banging bitches. Well, not quite because him growing up makes me sad but ANYTHING is cooler than D&D. Must. Stop. Eating. Pizza. You see, the thing about boundaries is that there are no boundaries and the thing about me is well, I just don't make any sense. Everything i had said went right out the window. Death Cab For Cutie is pretty much the best thing ever for these half assed winter days. (I can't remember how to do a lj cut) For some reason I think this song is super sexy. I'm totally in love with it. Left uninspired by the crust of railroad earth that touched the lead to the pages of your manuscript. I took my thumb off the concrete and saved up all my strength to hammer pillars for a picket fence. It wasn't quite what it seemed... a lack of pleasantries, my able body isn't what it used to be. I must admit I was charmed by your advances... your advantage left me helplessly into you. Talking how the group had begun to splinter and I could taste your lipstick on the filter. I tried my best to keep my distance from your dress but call-response overturns convictions every time. My memory cannot recall, a wave of alcohol, we shared a cigarette and shaved the hours off talking how the group had begun to splinter and I could taste your lipstick on the filter Lushing with the hallway congregation, my best judgement signed its resignation. I rushed this, we moved too fast, trips into the guestroom. I rushed this. +

Not knowing where to turn and feeling like I couldn't stop. I remembered seeing the Hopeline phone number in the front of your book. I talked with someone there for 2 and a half hours and I truly feel that they saved my life. Thank you for the book, thank Hopeline for being there, and thank the people that send in their postcards so that others know they are not alone with their secrets. -Casie (with permission) 11 +

The only thing that has worked is taking care of other people -- wondering what would make them happy and doing my best to make it happen. -----Original Email----- Sent: Sunday, April 13, 2008 1:59 AM Subject: UNLV Event Dear Frank, You invited us tell our secrets tonight and I was going to go up but then boom, everyone was up there and I didn't get to tell my secret. I thought about it the whole rest of the night and as I drove home with my boyfriend I started to tell him some of my happy secrets than, the one I fear the most. I cried my eyes out, the type where you can't breathe, he listened and simply held my hand. It has never felt so refreshing and wonderful to get something off of your chest after almost 15 years. -----Email Message----- Sent: Friday, April 18, 2008 7:35 AM Subject: shaving the pubes My boyfriend didn't want to have sex with me because I don't shave my pubes. He broke up with me shortly thereafter. We're better off without him. -----Email Message----- Sent: Sunday, April 13, 2008 11:32 AM Subject: littel+bird secret My mom used to do the same thing when she did my laundry.

I got my first PostSecret book a few weeks ago, and was inspired. A few close friends and I came up with the idea of making a secret wall in the stall of one of the girls bathrooms. It started with about 5 secrets, and within the next few weeks there was about 50. The secrets ranged from crushes to friend problems, and from rape and cutting. Everyone knew about the secret wall. Today my best friend and I go into the stall to see if there were any new secrets, and all we saw was a large, tan, wall. Our school had painted over the secrets. Tomorrow i'm starting the wall again. PostSecret on Facebook 106 +

[24 Oct 2009|09:49am] tasteyourlips I'm getting my ribs done november 6th! i'm so excited! The whole lot of money I owe from when my car broke down and when my wisdom teeth were removed is really keeping me on the ground. It's never ending. Every payment I make seems to just be useless with more than half of my payment being INTEREST and it's not even my credit card so I'm not building any credit when I should be. This week is like the bill week from hell. Everything under the sun is due! And I still need to buy a halloween costume. I have tons to do today. I guess it's a good thing my body woke me up at nine. 4 +

Distinctphoto.com is Updated! [22 Oct 2009|11:00am] doisneau Originally published at Wedding Photography Blog by Los Angeles Photographer Ian Grant. Please leave any comments there. It seems like every year or so I outgrow whatever portfolio site I have and then have to do this massive upgrade to a new system and it forces me to go through the multi tens of thousands of wedding photos I have compiled.  I actually kind of like it though.  So, if any of you haven’t seen my new Distinctphoto.com site, go check it out- it has all my favorite landscapes on there too which I’m pretty proud of.  Once wedding season finally calms in the next few weeks I’ll finally be able to go back and start posting all the blog entries of the exciting weddings I’ve shot [see above].  I’ve got probably a good 25 entries in the works with some amazing brides to flaunt!

Pre-order Canon 1D Mark IV [21 Oct 2009|04:08pm] doisneau Originally published at Wedding Photography Blog by Los Angeles Photographer Ian Grant. Please leave any comments there. I like to drool over camera gear, and I’m lucky to be able to call my expensive hobby my job.  With that said, whenever a new camera comes out I kind of get giddy even if they’re not practical at all for me.  Such is the case with the new Canon 1D Mark IV.  My main camera is currently the Canon 5D Mark II which is really almost overkill in a way for what I do, but it makes me happy.   As much as I like them, the 1 series are what I call wrist busters.  When you combine the heavy L lenses with an already heavy camera you come home from weddings with a busted wrist from lifting them around all the time.  I already have a hard enough time with my 5DMII, I come home from weddings and slap Icy Hot all over my arms- adding another few pounds on top of my already heavy camera is straight out of my nightmares.  So anyway, new Canon 1 series, very cool, drop $5k and go pre-order yourself a new camera!
