Life Thus Far

Hello people who are breathing.

Wow that sounded bad...

Anyway, I haven't been blogging recently partly because I have been busy (with school starting up and other activities such as editing...still) and partly because I have had no idea what to blog about...okay, mainly the latter.

And it's saaad! 'Cause I would love to blog more, but I gotta find my niche in the blogging world again.

I know I would love to write more and post some of it and also get back into photography a bit more.

Speaking of which, a few of my friends and I went to a a park a couple weeks ago and Anna and I took pics of each other and of plant life. That was the first time I picked up a camera in a while and 'twas so much fun!

Here are a few of my favorites:

I just finished The Hunger Games series. And...like wow...the feels. ;( I won't spoil anything, but I feel like the ending of Mockingjay was rushed a bit; I wanted to know a bit more about some things... Catching Fire was my favorite out of the three. I really liked the new characters and the plot was great. All in all it was a FANTASTIC series! I recommend!

I'm almoooost done with my book! I can see the finish line. I just have three more chapters to edit! Yay! And then I shall start plotting this year's NaNoWriMo book. :) 

I know some of what I want for this new book. It's gonna be in the modern world and I don't want to use the kidnapping plot theme because I used that in my book I'm currently editing. I wasn't going to write about people with "powers" just because it is kind of hard since you have to know what the limits of the power and what it means living in our world...but I got this really cool idea (or I think it's cool, lol) and it involves that...so I will try my best.

And that is it of my ramblings for today.

Hope you enjoyed this jumbled up post!

Have a wooonnndddddeeeerrrfffuuuullll day! <3

Prom!

Prom was so much fun a couple weeks ago!

My friends and I.

I was going for a vintage/bohemian look, plus I can wear the dress again after prom. :) My mom photographed these of me.

I had to get a pic with my kitty, but she doesn't look too happy about it, haha.

Life Update: Vacation!!

A couple weeks ago my family (except for my two older brothers 'cause they're in college ;( ) went on vacation to Florida! It was so fun and relaxing. The ocean was clear and the sand was like sugar. This was my favorite beach vacation! Then we went to Magic Kingdom for the last day. So anyway, here are pics:

They had the best shells here! We found this one, but found a little inhabitant living there.

We went air boating, which was super fun, and saw some alligators!

It's kinda hard to see, but here is a manatee!

We saw dolphins, but I couldn't get a good picture. It was so cool though!

Disney World!!

These mosaics were made all with little tiles!

My favorite part in this park was the light show at the end!

This was the best pic I got from the light parade.

It was a really fun trip with the fam. :) 

Now tonight, I am going to my first prom! Look out for that post! 

Thanks for reading!

QOTW / Catching Up On Life And Snowy Pics

~*~

Sooo sorry I didn't post any pics last week, like I said I would. I've been busy prepping for my b-day party that got delayed till yesterday even though my actual birthday was on December 16.

Pic of my beautiful friends and I at my party :D

(Top) Elly, Celia, Alissa, and I
(Bottom) Layne, Anna, and Hannah

Also, I've been getting my novel completed and after hardcore writing, I didn't feel like posting anything.  :P One of the winner goodies from NaNo was a code to get a free hardcover copy of your draft and it expired today.  I am happy to say that I finished my draft in time! I made a cover for it and ordered a copy of it yesterday.

Also, on Tuesday I got my braces off!!! I'm so excited! I can finally have gum and other snackies I otherwise couldn't have. Woo! I wasn't expecting to look the way I look without braces, although I didn't know what I was expecting in the first place, but I am sooo glad they are off! It's been 3 1/2 years!

Now unto the snowy pics. I didn't take as many photos as I usually do, but here they are:

Kitties exploring the porch.

I was trying to get a creative photo, but it was terribly hard and this was the best one that turned out. I had a coat, hat and gloves on still, but I had to take my boots off for the picture and I couldn't last more than 30 seconds standing there. My feet kept getting numb and I would run inside and jump around trying to warm them up. I had to go back three times to get this pic. xD

I had a mirror outside because I wanted to try and make it look like a portal or something with photoshop (I haven't gotten it to work yet) and I took a random picture, and I didn't even mean to, but it turned out well besides the fact that the flash popped up. 

Another mirror picture.

I love seeing the snow sparkle in the sunlight.

I had my mom pose her arm holding that snowball and my brother is suppose to look like he's about to get hit and is trying to defend himself.

Hope you enjoyed this post! 

Bye for now! 

Park Pictures

My mom, brother, and I recently took family photos of a friend and while we were at the park, I took some other random photos! Here are a few:

And here's a random photo of puzzle pieces that I found!

Enjoy!
