Yupgi

There's a Korean word that defines me so well:

Yupgi: bizarre, quirky, slightly disgusting but somewhat cute.

How perfect is that?

Blood, Mio, and Other Things


Went to donate plasma today, but something went wrong with my right arm. The vein there is so deep, I guess the needle didn't go in right or something. The nurse was really nice and tried to get it to work, but it kept hurting worse and worse so we eventually had to give up. I still got a coupon for a free sub and some cookies, though! Sorry, leukemia patients. I tried to get you some platelets. My right arm aches now.

In other news, I finally decided to try Mio Energy. It was gross! Don't waste your money. Regular Mio is great, though!

Happy Birthday, Riley!


Happy birthday, Riley! I wish I could meet you.

Babies


It's just way too easy to take pictures of babies/toddlers. They're naturally cute, they're not shy in front of the camera, and you don't have to worry that they'll think they look fat in their pictures. I always thought it would be hard to do kid photography, but now I'm thinking I want to do more and more!

Thrift Store Gold!


I found the most amazingly gorgeous dress at a thrift store the other day! I'm in love with it. Sadly, it's a size 3 and made for someone about as tall as a hobbit, so I'm having trouble finding someone to take pictures in it with. I need to iron it again, and for some reason the lighting made it look incredibly dirty, but I promise, it has potential!!

The top has plastic boning, like a corset. The skirt had a couple layers of tulle, but I'm working on adding more to make it extra poofy (you know I love my poofy skirts!). So the question remains, is there anyone in the world who will model this dress for me??

Some Random Questions

Argh, I just love these things! I know, they're silly, but so much fun! Maybe it's the vain part of me that wants to make everyone know everything about me... huh...

1. What’s the farthest place you have ever traveled? Costa Rica, on my senior missions trip! It was so beautiful, and I find it amazing that a place can feel so much like home after only a week.

2. Would you rather lick the bowl of chocolate brownie batter or cookie dough? Cookie dough, definitely.

3. Ever been bitten by an animal? What kind? Dogs, cats, mice, rabbits, sugar gliders, hamsters, gerbils, rats, turtles, and a few caterpillar stings... Why do I love animals again?

4. Ever ride a motorcycle? I think my brother-in-law took me for a ride on his when I was little, but I don't remember much of it.

5. How many {if any} times have you been in a wedding? I've been a flower girl twice, I think.

6. What famous person would you most like to be friends with? I'm a fran (friend + fan) of Kiera Cass already, but it would be so awesome to be a real life friend of hers. I'd also love to spend some quality time with Stephenie Meyer. She seems so nice!

7. Ever dialed 911? I dialed it once then handed the phone to Katie, because she's always in control of every situation (or can effectively pretend that she is).

8. Are you related to anyone famous? Who? My grandmother was the first female employee and manager of a 7-11. Does that count?

9. What are two things you are wearing right now and where did you get them? My class ring is from Jostens, and my Chrysalis shirt is from when I attended Southeast Florida Girls' Chrysalis, Flight #39 and sat at the table of "Meshuginah Yeshua... God Bless You!". (We had to say that whole shpiel every time we introduced ourselves.)

10. How long does it take you to get ready in the morning?
I always get up an hour before I have to leave, but I've never really timed myself.

The Whole Shabang!


Let me start off by saying that I totally stole the name of this blog from a wonderful movement that you can find out more about here: http://rejectapathy.com/.

Moving on! I was inspired to start a new blog after reading my former PE teacher's photography blog. Here's to hoping I can spread as much love and light as she does!

This is a pretty pitiful first post, but that's all I've got for you for now! Have a wonderful day, or night, or whatever it is while you're reading this! :)
