"Imagining the future is a kind of nostalgia"

Right here and now, just you and me let's dream up something beautiful together

The world is a beautiful place full of amazing things and it's filled with even more possible things

It's our job to be the dreamers, the architects of the future

There's something to be said for being realistic but man didn't walk on the moon by staying grounded

Let's dream of the beautiful while suffering through that which we don't like

And then when we've had our fill of being dreamers, let's make our dreams reality

Let's be impulsive

Go on an adventure

Act silly

Make something

Because you and I are such beautiful dreamers

But we're even more beautiful when we live

Sometimes I imagine how horrible it’d be for a guy to date me/like me

“You look beautiful tonight.”

“That’d because it’s night so it’s dark enough that you can’t see me.”

“You’re a princess”

“Say that again and I’ll slap you -.-“

“I love you.”

“I love me too.”

“Wanna go for a romantic walk together?”

“Sure. Hold on a sec while I get my camera. Hope ya don’t mind walking really slow.”

“You’re the most beautiful girl I’ve ever seen. I love you so much.”

“Excuse me while I gag.”

Saturday

I am going to do homework, clean, and cook.

Goodness, it sounds like I'm grown up or something weird like that. O.o

Because I'm Me

So today I got the brackets for my braces on.

When I was asked (by a woman named Pilar. Lovely lady, by the way) what color I wanted my thought process went something like this:

"Hmm... I like rainbows. Rainbows are pretty. GAH I CAN'T BE INDECISIVE. UMMM. I'LL BE IMPULSIVE AND SAY ORANGE. Yeah, I like orange. Orange is one of my favorite colours!"

It wasn't until she had started putting the orange band things on that I realized that it's almost Halloween.

Now I have Halloween braces.

Oh joy.

It seems very surreal that I'm getting braces now, though.

It's always been something that other people had and something in the future.

Not here.

Not now.

But now it's here and now.

Here's a song:

My Life

I went outside to take some pictures.

It started to rain.

I danced.

I love film.

I love how… real film is.

It’s not a bunch of images saved to a rectangle of plastic and metal.

It’s there. Each and every exposure you can hold in your hand.

I love the painstaking process of loading film into an old camera.

I love the fear of wasting a precious frame that causes me to think before I shoot.

I love it.

I need more.

All I have left is 10(?) exposures in Roseanne.

Meh.

Also, I think part of my love is it’s currently the only way I have to shoot manually.

If I mess it all up, I know it’s because I focused wrong or chose the wrong combination of settings.

With my digital point and shoot, I have to deal with it focusing wrong and stuff. It’s annoying.

I learn more with film.

OHMYGOSH.

I'm in love.
