Laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaazy

Man, been a while since I updated, hasn't it? >.< So I'll have a lot to catchup on... later. Right now, and as I have been doing for the past THREE DAYS, I'm cleaning my room while job hunting via the internet. So far I haven't heard anything, but we'll see. It's come to the point that I'll take anything and just do my photography on the side, because bills are coming and I gotta pay 'em. God the economy sucks. v_v;;;

On the plus side, I am doing at least two senior portraits for people soon, and a friend of mine is getting my business card into the first issue of her PTSA's newsletter, so I'll get a lot of coverage that way. So that might help to bring some revenue in. Just gotta remember to go see Tom Mills about the tax thing. Oi.

Cleaning wise, I'm getting there. My room was an absolute disaster, so it's been taking a while. I can't wait for it to be done though, because I can't stand the mess any longer!!! Well, that and I want to be able to hang some more shelves of sorts (aka my crate stand is going on my wall so I can bring up a second nightstand) to hold books and stuff. Because... I have a lot. x'D

Of course, I'm in hardcore mode, so as I go I tear apart drawers and stuff and clean them out. And I'll be doing more of that when I'm done cleaning too, just because. So far I have at least three or four boxes that are going to the Salvation Army and/or City Mission of things I don't need/want that others might. I've already hauled three garbage bags out of here too, and I'm on my fourth. So my room is being MASSIVELY overhauled. And I tend to do this every single time I clean. But I really have to this time, considering I still have stuff in the basement to bring up. ^^;

And speaking of the basement, I'm gonna be going down there with my Mom soon to help clean THAT up so I can have my little corner for studio space near the door. Right now it's the best I can do, so I'm going to make it look nice. Probably get a throw rug or something, since the floor is nasty concrete. And when I say nasty, I mean stained with building materials nasty. >.<;;; Eventually it's going to be a family room, but right now it's just a storage area and work station while we finish remodeling the rest of the house. Which we've been doing for two years now because my brother and sister can't keep their rooms clean long enough to get them finished and stuff. Ugh.

But yeah, I'm going to set up shop down in my basement. And you know what's really cool? I totally traded my Mamiya in for almost $3,000 worth of a light kit, so I really can do that! I only have two lights, but those will do for now. I can make do with the background. Eventually I'll get a third light. ^^ And more Pocket Wizards! LMAO

Anyways, things are starting to move forward for me. I'm dreading bills and stuff, but maybe, just maybe, things will work out. *crosses fingers* I'm hoping so.

And if you're lucky, I'll stop being lazy and blog more. xD
