The past few days have been packed with salt water

Basketball and Bike Rides

It was a beautiful, sunny, warm day today. Mom got out the chalk and we played hopscotch. Then we all played basketball. I'm getting pretty good!

Then I got on Sagan's tiny little bike and rode around on it. It killed my knees, which were up by my chin, but it was still fun anyway.

Good lord, the bike swap can't come soon enough!!! I can't WAIT to get a bike!!!!!!!!!

Check out my flickr photostream. Got some awesome new stuff.

Flickring

As you may notice, I got a Flickr account!
You should look at my photostream.
And comment on my pictures.
Mm-hmm.

converse and Maureen Johnson-esque self-portraits

Big exciting news!
I have just acquired the most amazing magenta converse ever created.

They are so freaking cool.
I also had the inspiration from Maureen Johnson's book covers (look 'em up)
To make this little baby:

I think it basically rocks.
The setup and editing of this thing was intense. You have noooo idea.
Does it look like I'm showing you my butt? Maybe.
But I rather like my butt, so that all works out.

Anyway, had an AWESOME time with Olivia and the other homeschoolers today at the park.
I freaking love homeschoolers.
I still want to go to high school in the fall, but I will be hanging with those kids every chance I get.
Anyway...
I kinda want to watch the Twilight movie. Random desire, but what can you do?
I think I need to buy it.
LOL.

my masterpiece

Quite honestly, this is a truly amazing photograph.
I really love it.
I took it.
I love photography.
