February 8-18, 2008

So, I fail. Or I was just out of town, very busy, and then very sick. I'll take the latter.


February 18, 2008

I'm feeling a little better today. I got dressed for real, at least.



February 17, 2008

I has the flu.



February 16, 2008

Can you tell I feel great?



February 15, 2008

(Full) Day 1 of the sick.


February 14, 2008

Nothing. I did fail this day. It really just slipped my mind.



February 13, 2008

My mom told me to show off my mouth-bling before it leaves for good. (IN A WEEK!)



February 12, 2008



February 11, 2008

Just a little frazzled.



February 10, 2008

Yeah...I'm on the phone. It doesn't happen that often.



February 9, 2008

Woo! All dressed up at conference!



February 8, 2008

People like to participate in my picture-taking when I'm around other people. This would be Dan with a shoe on his head and Megan's hand at the hotel for NCARH 2008 in Boone.

whoops

Sorry for the lack of updates. I've been horribly busy. Soon, there will be pictures.

Happy February.
Generally, worst month of the year.

Crazy time hair!

And updating before I've been to class. I'm impressed.

Silent Hill 1 is very frustrating. I am not amused.

January 22-24

I know, I know. I'm lame. I've been sick and dying. But I'm getting better now. These have just been sitting in my folder crying because they've been neglected by the series of tubes. So here's the last few days.

I am well aware I look like death.

Sorry for the lateness. I'm pretty freakin' sick.

It's Indie Kid to the rescue! This is pre-headphones and X-ed hands.

Doing the Indie Kid thing for the first day of classes. Oh wait. Don't I do that all the time? Heh. I also like how my room looks like it's glowing.

January 6-13, 2008

Are you ready for eight days crammed into one post? Ok. Ready, set, go! (Most recent at the top.)

January 11, 2008

I finally got my computer back! I missed it.



January 10, 2008

A day of real techno-creativity. I couldn't find Corbett, so I had to use my cell phone. Hence the quality. Yikes!



January 9, 2008

I found that sweet hat on Corbett's couch. I wish I had one like that. My ears would be so happy on horrible, terrible, awful February days/nights. (Can you tell how I feel about February?) Also, Dan put a snake on my shoulder.



January 8, 2008

Welcome back to Greensboro. Making use of Corbett's computer. With creepy Dan in the background. Hooray!



January 7, 2008

After I realized I didn't have my laptop, I had to steal my mom's camera and make use of the bathroom. I did not do the MySpace thing and take it into the mirror. I used the mirror to center the display on my head. And, of course, no flash.



January 6, 2008

This one was very quick and not in my house. My face, as I'm sure you know, isn't blue.

For at least the next several weeks, there should be daily updates. I'll let you know when that'll change again. Hooray! Next adventure, classes starting tomorrow.

status update

Sorry for the lack of things showing up here. My laptop is Durham being repaired while I'm in Greensboro, so I'm waiting until I get it back to post pictures from the days I haven't posted. But never fear, I have the pictures. It'll probably be a few more days. I just hope I get it back before classes start...

[EDIT]: January 6-13 coming tomorrow!

Fear not! I haven't forgotten! Just got sidetracked...


Really, I'll get better lighting soon. Maybe even tomorrow. I don't know what Alicia's house is like. Which reminds me, depending on the state of whether or not I have internet access for the next three days, there may or may not be updates here. If not, there will be four pictures on Monday, all from different days. So if I'm not here, have a good weekend, everyone!

Wednesday, January 02, 2008

So today we have slightly better lighting. That is because I'm holding a lamp in my right hand. I promise, this will get better in a few days. Hopefully Tuesday, but I'm going to say no later than Wednesday.

Also today, a bonus picture!


The lamp.

January 1, 2008


So this is me.
Bad lighting, allergies, and possibly a little bit of swelling on the left side of my jaw. Also, I need a shower.

Happy New Year.

this might be a blog.

I'm thinking I'll use this to display my upcoming project for 2008. I don't know what I'll end up doing with it, but I'm going to take a picture of myself every day for a year. I'll post the pictures here along with their date. It will mostly be one per day, but for those times I go out of town without my computer (yeah, it happens at least twice a year), there will be a few days without and then several on one day. I may also include little descriptions of things I think are important like if I get a haircut, punched in the face, or feel that something needs an explanation other than the picture itself. I have about a week and a half until I start, so this is really just a heads up. Because people know this exists and all.

A little about me, perhaps. My name, as you can see from my profile or whatever, is Mariel. Like Ariel, the little mermaid, but with an M. Please pronounce it correctly. I will only put up with the elderly, foreign, and extremely accented mispronouncing my name. Because I can hear your thoughts reading this. It's true. That's what blogs do. So, aside from being incredibly witty, I am a photographer. I take pictures of things. At this point in time, I don't get paid to do it, but if you would like to hire me, I'd be happy to accept payment for my photographic services. Along with taking pictures, I pay people to teach me things at a University. I'm currently majoring in Media Studies/Film/Whatever you want to call it, but I'm considering trying to make up a major. But that would mean I wouldn't graduate early. As of Monday, I'm technically halfway done with my college education, but we'll see about that. Also, I like music, being generally indie as fuck, keeping betta fish (I suppose I could keep others, but I like my betta), and taking care of my plants (an orchid and a peace lily). Yes, I am successfully growing an orchid in a college dorm room. It is possible. Let's see. What else might you want to know before I start barraging you with, well, me. I won't tell you what I look like because I'm sure you'll get tired of that pretty quickly. I can't think of anything else terribly important, so if there's anything you're dying to know, you can ask me. Nothing stupid though.

Enjoy the last few days before that big holiday everyone's talking about. I will see you in 2008, dear reader.
