I held on as tightly as you held on to me

I went out on my first photo excursion of the year today, and I'm greatly disappointed.

When I woke up this morning, it was so very, very foggy and cold. I was hoping that the city would be blanketed in hoarfrost, but that hope was dashed. I drove through GoG and watched a hawk circle in a field for ten minutes, but I couldn't get my shit together well enough to take a picture. That's not so bad, I enjoyed watching him. I also watched a herd of deer frolic through the snow, which pleased me greatly. I went to Graffiti falls to try and take some pictures, but they are terrible. Check it:

Meh. Hopefully, the only place to go is up. I'm hoping to become a lot more technically savvy with my camera this year. Maybe then I won't feel like I just luck into photos.

I have a new favorite song. When I say new favorite, I mean seriously. I love this song so much. It gives me all the feels.

Plus, the video is beautiful. And fucking crushing. I really, really, really recommend listening to it.

I've been watching Fringe, Friends, and documentaries on Netflix. It's been wonderfully lazy (except when I'm off running errands, or working out).

School starts again in twelve days.

I've been painting since I got home today. Well, that's not entirely true. I did take about an hour and a half long nap. It was just so warm and cozy on my couch, I couldn't help myself.

I've cut the obviously bad carbs from my diet. Bread, potatos, things of that ilk. I've SEVERELY lowered my intake of red meat, as well, and I've finally kicked the Rockstar habit. Which means I've completely stopped drinking soda.

I don't really have anything interesting to say yet. I will, eventually, because it's been an eventful few weeks (It's been a long time since I've written in here, apparently), and I'd like to decompress everything that's happened in here when I feel ready. But that time when I feel ready is not today. Until then, here's a very rare picture of me smiling, taken in my natural habit, as seen with my favorite of best friends.
