I planned on raving about how irritated I was, but that's simply out of the question now! Can you believe it!?
Published! No, sorry, not writing, PHOTOGRAPHY!!!
I remember the day when I was just to return to school for another long year, and there was a specific day where I was pressured about financial issues. I was really depressed, but I needede to do something. So I took my mom's laptop to Conti's/guest/sewing/storage room and searched all of the net for places that held photography contests. I figured I would have a better chance with photography contests than writing because I have several high quality photos and only a few cheesy poems and unfinished stories for writing.
Actually, searching for places made me feel worse because I couldn't find the kind of place I was looking for. So after about an hour I was all searched out and left to mope around the rest of the day.
Since then, I've been feeling better about this whole situation. Since we got a bundle of groceries last, I haven't felt so confined. However, I have been feeling a little lost about my talents. I haven't written... I could never use my drawing... I want to sing.... dance....
There are so many things I want to do, but I could never do them all. Well, I suppose I could, but I'm not overly good at any of them, so I wouldn't be able to do the majority singularly if I tried.
So I've been praying for a while to get my life sorted out, and I have managed to start drawing more, which is nice but it doesn't seem to solve any problems... However!! Something surprising happened tonight. For someone who never gets mail, getting something that isn't purchased or bank blah is quite exciting. Also, getting a VIP letter adding onto that excitment could blow someones skin off. Good thing for me, it didn't. But I tell you, it was a close call.
Yes, I got a VIP letter!! Seems that one of the places I submitted a photo to selected it to be a semi-finalist entry in the Internation Library of Photography's International Open Amateur Photography Contest and also is copywriting it, asking for my Artist's Proof, AND publishing it in an upcoming title called Endless Journeys that is being published in Winter 2005.
There is this whole long letter explaining how my photo was evaluated by an election committee.
"In celebration of your unique talent, and the priceless moment you have captured on film, we also wish to publish your photograph in our forthcoming anthology..."
"Just Tea Please," the title of my photo, was selected for "its unique perspective" and my "artistic vision."
I even got a P.S. and a P.P.S. in the letter. It says I'm going to recieve a formal invitation to the Spring Convention and Synopsuim in Las Vegas, Nevada, March 3-6, 2006. Too bad I won't be able to attend, but this is all shock enough for me.
I would like to purchase the book(will, by the way, be available in major retail bookstores and online booksellers. Just so you know...) but it costs a whopping 80$ with shipping, and that's a big big lot of money for a book for your one photo. It is exciting though. We'll have to see if I can get it. I have to send in my Artist's Proof ASAP. Maybe I can do that in the momring.
How exciting! Copywritten! Published! Semi-finalist!!!
I leave you with these happy thoughts, though they may not necesarily be happy for you, so I leave myself with these happy thoughts with a warning. Next post will not be so positive. I still have to tell you about my troubles at school. But, that's for another time. So, until then....
Guccha!

I can't quite pinponint how I feel today. Things just seems to be swimming sideways in my mind about the money issue. My parental unit is careful not to scare me, but they make sure I know whats going on and what I can do, things like that.
It's just a little weir d not being able to go anywhere with gas being almost 4$ now. Dad has to get groceries on the way home from work if we can afford it.
Eri's in South America.
Conti's in Jersey.
Krumpy's six hours away.
We have no money.
I want to go to Japan. I wonder if those kind of dreams come true?
Someone, buy my photos.
I'm distracted so there's lots of fragments again.
