Gunslinger's Journal

Still not rocking studio like I want to. Need more practice. Also, I need to understand my light meter much better. I am doing really well with shooting every day though. Most of the photos aren't exactly gold, but I'm doing it. Here is what I have so far. Two days are missing because I shot with film and haven't scanned them in yet.

Me: I am interested in the volkswagen you have for sale on craigslist. If it is still available I'd like to come look at it. My name is Quenby and you can reach me at --------
Or email me your number and I'll call you.
thanks

Nataha: Hello,
Thank you for your interest in buying my car. My 2001 Volkswagen Golf GLS is in great shape, no engine problems, damages or hidden defects. It was always garaged and never smoked in. I`m a single mother with 2 children and I have problems with money, that`s why i`m selling it so cheap. The price is $2,400.00. We will use eBay`s protection program for our safety. I just need your full name and address so I can open a case .(with no further obligation or fees). Have a nice day!
Details about the car:
Year: 2001
Mileage: 67,923
Transmission: Automatic
Fuel type: Gasoline
Interior color: Tan
Exterior color: Green
VIN: 9BWBT21J814026266

Me: Nataha,
I don't understand. I'm looking at the car on craigslist not ebay. And I'm not making an offer on the car yet I want to see it first. I just need to understand what this is for before I give out personal information.

Nataha: Hello,
I am currently in London,Uk to sign one of my daughters up to college but i left my car at the shipping company in Brooklyn, NY sealed and ready for shipping. I have a contract with eBay so this deal must go through them. According to eBay you have 5 days from the time you receive the car to inspect it and decide if you want to keep it or not. In maximum 48 hours the car will be at your door. The shipping and the return shipping is 100% free, there won't be any extra cost for you. If you wish to continue please send me your full name and full address for shipping so I can initiate the transaction through eBay. After that, they will contact you with all the necessary information about this transaction(terms,buyer/seller protection,payment instructions,invoice,etc.)
Regards!

Me: Obvious scam is obvious.
I can't feel too sorry for anyone stupid enough to fall for this, but that doesn't make you any less gutter trash

I am working on my website. It will be up eventually, but right now I am having trouble editing things out and making a bio page and all that fun crap. It's going slowly. I need to figure out how to buy a meal for to get them to look at it and help me out.

I need to be less overwhelmed with things, but at the same time do more. It's a real conundrum. I have also started dating. It's just been one date, but I plan for there to be more. How do I fit a guy into a life too full of my school work and career? Not sure yet.

I want his life so bad.

Quote of the day: "My gorgeous redheaded chum our bankers were being shitty and greedy when yours were locking gold bullion in safes and standing guard over them with six shooters.
In fact, they were shitty and greedy when the only bankers in your country were trading in strings of wampum shells."

me: so anything exciting going on in England? we really do not have news from other countries here

LouisesiuoL: Hrm. People are still banging on about bankers and MPs spending tax money on getting their forests pruned.

me: lol what's this now?

LouisesiuoL: And the government are too damn scared that all the bankers will leave and leave London's financial district crippled.
To actually tax their massive bonuses.

me: your bankers are as shitty and greedy as ours!
that's kind of sweet in a hellish way

LouisesiuoL: My gorgeous redheaded chum our bankers were being shitty and greedy when yours were locking gold bullion in safes and standing guard over them with six shooters.
In fact, they were shitty and greedy when the only bankers in your country were trading in strings of wampum shells.
I am continually annoyed by the fact that there's only any money for science that the government dictates and the government is not made of scientists, it's made of idiots who listen to whining protest groups who know nothing of evidence.

me: This is true. I sometimes forget we learned all our shady dealings from the mother land.

LouisesiuoL: The home secretary, I think, just fired a scientific advisor for saying "Um, you know, we may as well decriminalize drugs, because Portugal have done it and it's just made things better - you know, evidence."

me: yeah same issue here with the health care system. "Hey guys uhh.. England is doing it way better. Can we just.." /gets killed with rocks and screams of "socialist!"/

LouisesiuoL: "Poor people not dying? COMMUNISM!"
That was a funny footbullet when they said Steven Hawking would have died in our healthcare system. What with him being, um, English and all.

Last night was insane. I went out to a bar not expecting much and ended up half drunk on a beach watching the sunrise with my friends. Still dressed for said bar. Lace top, short skirt, black tights. Luckily, since I knew I would be shooting I had a pair of flats in my bag. Heels at the beach would be a special challenge.
It was great to hang out with Rachel off campus and Shannon (always great to hang out with Shannon) and Janicka. And I talked to Sam for hours and we had such a great time. I've actually been going out quite a bit lately and haven't regretted it yet.













I met a cute guy I ended up hanging out with through most of the night. And morning.
He didn't want his photos put up. He can get the fuck over it.

I'm setting fire to everything I own.

Yesterday is was really hard to choose my photo for the day and I'm still not sure which one I want to go with. Today it's this:

Hung out with Megan and Natalie today. It was a lot of fun. I liked Natalie's friend, Anthony. I retreated into my shell pretty badly though. I get really shy around people I don't go to school with.
I'm not sure what photo is my Photo of the Day yet. I'm supposed to have one photo every day for 26 days and when I'm done I email them to Amanda Sosa Stone. It's good timing because the assignment is helping me get out when I would otherwise feel sort of hermitish. Yesterday the highlight of my day was definitely hanging out with Claire and today it was shooting at Anthony's place with Natalie and Megan. So if nothing else this assignment is allowing me a few hours of good times in a sea of stress.

"You are Quenby, my firstborn. The best oldest daughter in the whole wild world."
Even though it's obviously a typo, what my Dad wrote reminded me of this:

On November 27, 2007 Firefighter John J. Curry was killed while he was training with the Volusia County Fire Services Firewalker Team, when a dead pine tree fell onto his back & killed him. Two days later the County of Volusia sent a letter to his widow Kristen informing her that hers & J.J’s only son Owens health benefits would be terminated unless she wanted to pay the COBRA price for benefits. Kristen did not even have a chance to put her husband to rest before she had to worry about Owens & her health benefits being terminated, which she should not even have had to worry about. But the County of Volusia found the loop hole in state law & chose to exploit it. Under current state law if a firefighter dies in a "training" incident their spouse & children will not be provided health insurance coverage unless the firefighters next of kin chooses to pay for them.
What can you do? Show support by contacting your locally elected state congressman & senators to co-sponsor Florida house bill #65.

A big thank you goes out to state rep. Darren Soto who has vowed to continue sponsoring this bill until it gets passed.

My print finally went up on permanent instillation the other day. Now I'm a cool guy.

My mother has three children. Two of them are art majors. Neither of my parents are artists. It's weird.
