"To talk of many things:
Of life, and work, and fandom flings,
Of family and friends,
And why this LJ now is locked,
And other journal trends."

Finished a third year of Project 365! Whoo! That's 1095 days in a row of pictures. Wow. I think my posting streak is almost at 7 years, too. I might not be much, but I'm dedicated to completing projects! With a little cheating when necessary, haha. I've taken to backdating and postdating entries to keep up, in addition to making Twitter posts.

Anyway, here are all of my 2011 photos: CLICK

And my video!


I had plans this New Year's Eve, but I'll throw those details in with my next post. :)

Inspired by stina_bo_bina, I'm removing a bunch of journals from my flist that haven't posted in YEARS. If you happen to still be out there reading and just haven't been posting/commenting, let me know and I'll add you back. :)

So unless you've been living under a rock, you know that I've been doing Project 365. Officially finished my second year yesterday! That's 730 days in a row. Yeah. I am crazy. I will probably be continuing. Going through all of my pictures always makes me think I could've taken much better ones. Haha. So I guess we'll keep going until I'm actually good. :P

All of my 2010 pics are here: Project 365: 2010

And I made a video again this year with all of them and one of my new favorite songs from my friend Bill:

Today is Project for Awesome day! Basically, people make videos about their favorite charities and we take over YouTube for two days by all uploading with similar thumbnails and commenting like crazy on the videos. This is the 4th year (the 3rd of me making videos). Excited! I have two videos for you guys to check out.

My personal video about The Ronald McDonald House:


A video I made with Elayna and Sara for The Harry Potter Alliance. There are costumes and accents:


So hopefully you watch those and if you have more time you can go to YouTube (or even Twitter) and just search Project For Awesome or P4A.

Because Lost was amazing and crazy last night I am skipping ahead in my 365 pics just so I can post last night's and do this rambling. I'll go back and post the previous two days' pics later.

So Sunday night (the 11th) I was driving home from Nevada and didn't get home and to bed 'til almost midnight. And I had a very busy Monday (the 12th). Behold:

I wasn't home to watch Bones tonight because I was down in Hollywood for this Bones-to-Pick challenge:


And then I saw OK Go perform a mini concert for Jimmy Kimmel Live. Video:


FUN!

I know I've claimed to have forgotten about 12 of 12 before. But I never really forgot forgot. I would not remember to take pictures until after my shower or something. But today? Today I really totally and completely forgot. I didn't think about it yesterday and put my camera out. I didn't remember in the morning. I didn't even realize when I was doing calendar in the classroom and putting up the 12. I was at work, in the cafeteria handing out ketchup to kids during lunch and suddenly realized that it was the 12th and I had not taken a single picture yet.

But at least I finally remmembered. That was close, lol.

As always, check out Chad's blog for more on this project.

I didn't know what to take a picture of on Monday since I was just working that day. Elayna told me to play around with a slow shutter speed and flashlight. So I did.

Went out to see the sunset last night after a day of rain. It was really pretty how the light was bouncing off of the wet sidewalks and driveways. This was my favorite picture that I took. I love the beads and the light. Here are some others:

( Preeeeettttyyyyyy )


P.S. I always seem to miss this exact anniversary, but if you look back at my calendar starting on Feb. 6, 2005, every day since is colored yellow. 'Cause yeah, there's been something posted on this LJ EVERY DAY FOR 5 YEARS. The streak lives! :)

Year 3! Whoo. This is the last year that Chad Darnell is going to be hosting the master list of participants. Sad.

I seriously almost forgot about today. I had thought about it the other day, but didn't send out reminders or even get my camera ready yesterday. Luckily I saw someone post about it this morning to remind me.

If you're on Twitter or Facebook, you probably already saw this, but yeah, I pwned Project 365 in 2009! Took a picture every day of the year! Whoo!!!


And then I made a video of alllll the pictures. It's kind of awesome.


To see all of the pics in their original photo form, you can check out the flickr set.

So now the big question is: Do I do it again this year?

Hope you have a lovely day, whether you celebrate or not. <3 you all.

[I took this picture. There will be more later. :) ]

One of my aunts in New York had a bunch of my firework photos printed up and framed. She just sent me pictures of them on her wall. That's kinda cool, right?


You can see the original photos here. I took them on the 4th of July while at her house.

Another year of Chad Darnell's 12 of 12 comes to an end, and I almost wasn't able to post my pictures! Dead computer, old card readers, annoying junk. But I went and got things figured out today, and am finally able to get some photos up. Since I don't have my computer, they're all straight out of the camera this month. No fancy tweaking or borders. Oh well. Here's what I did on a rainy Saturday:

9:35am - Kitchen - Helping Dad making cookies. And by "helping" I definitely mean watching him do the work while I eat dough.

Yo. My Internet is dead right now. It's annoyng. I called tech support an hour ago and they said there was an outtage up in Bakersfield and we're on the same server? So blah. Hope it comes back soon 'cause I have things to catch up on! And I need it tomorrow...

The nerdfighter community is trying to win $40,000 for charity tomorrow. DARPA (the military people who INVENTED THE INTERNET) is having a contest to celebrate the Internet turning 40. They're launching 10 big red weather balloons around the US tomorrow and the first team to find the location of all 10 wins!

If my Internet was working I'd link you to a video about it, but here's how you can help! If any of you happen to see a big red weather balloon during daylight hours tomorrow, tell me where it is!!! Or even if you hear about someone else seeing one somewhere. We need an address or intersection near each balloon. They could literally be anywhere in the continental United States, but will be visible from roads and somewhere public. So keep your eyes open while you go about your day tomorrow. :)
