He Calls it my Muffler

*For the sake of not using names here I'm going to call my significant other D.

When I first started sleeping over at D's house it came to my attention that I was going to have to use his bathroom at some point for more than just a little tinkle. One day I was sitting on the couch watching tv while D was using the bathroom. All of a sudden I hear him fart. I thought to myself... if I can hear him fart, he can most definitely hear me should I fart.

At this point I had to make a decision... to poo or not to poo. I could drive down the street to my parent's house where I was living at the time to do my business or just suck it up and hope I wouldn't fart myself to death in his bathroom.

The time came when I had to use his bathroom and somehow I knew I was going to have to fart. I decided I had to take the matter into my own hands. Literally. I took some toilet paper, wadded it up, and strategically placed it over my butt hole. You have no idea how perfectly this worked out in my favor. I farted and you could barely hear it.

When I finally told D what I had been doing he told me I was using my muffler. I have long since stopped using the muffler, but I can't help but think about it from time to time when I'm in the bathroom and I have a toot or two.

Accepted!

If you are following me on twitter (which you totally should be), you may have read last night that I found out some FANTASTIC news and I'm finally getting around to posting about it.

I have been trying to figure out for a while now what I want to be when I grow up. I decided that I wanted to pursue photography seriously, so I figured the best thing in my case would be to go back to school.

A while back Ashley posted on her blog about the school her father attended and when I clicked on the link to see the school I instantly fell in love. I guess you could say it was love at first sight.

Ever since that day I have been going back to the school's site thinking about how awesome it would be to become a photographer professionally. I've "met" so many fabulous photographers here on the internet that are for the most part self taught. It kind of makes me jealous that they have learned so much by just going out and doing it. I am more of a hands on, show me and I will do kind of girl. If that even makes any sense at all.

Well...I applied for the professional photography program at Brooks Institute and I found out last night that I was accepted! OMG! OMG! You truly have no idea how completely overcome with excitement I am.

I finally feel like I'm going to do something productive with my life, finish school, and move to a place I've never even visited before. Brooks is in Santa Barbara, CA which is approximately 11 hours (with out traffic) from where I am now. In some ways it seems like a long way, but when I think about the fact that people travel from all around the world to attend school here it makes my commute seem a little insignificant.

Aside from being completely ecstatic about my acceptance I'm also a little sad. Moving to California means leaving behind my family and my man. Of course I will visit and I'm sure they will too, but it will still be incredibly difficult to be away. The photography program at Brooks will take me 3 years of intense work to complete, but it will be so worth it.

I better go, I have a ton of paperwork to fill out and financial aid to find. Wish me luck! Read More

What Not to do Whensday

Why what not to do? Because this is my blog and I'm forcing my opinion in hopes that you won't hate me for it.

Why whensday? Because that's how I pronounce it.

Moving along.

For my first post on this subject (because I'm hoping this is a weekly topic) I'm just going to give a random smattering of things that shouldn't be done.

  • If you pee on the toilet seat, clean it up. Don't leave it for the next person to clean up.
  • Please for the love of all that is holy do not stand really close to the person in front of you in line at a checkout.
  • Don't touch the screen of someone else's computer/ laptop with your greasy fingers.
  • Don't take yourself too seriously. No one else does.
  • Don't do things that make you unhappy, it just doesn't make sense.
Ok that's all for now. I don't want to bombard anyone in my first Whensday post. Let me know what you think. I love comments and I can't wait to see what you have to say. Read More
