Zero pictures, one blotchy tan, and two lost chapters later...

Still behind on Project365 and on everything else that is non-school related. My apologies.


So I have this horrible farmer's tan on my arms and the dress I bought for graduation is sleeveless. So in an attempt to fix this I bought some sunless tanning lotion. After first time I used it, I realized that I hadn't applied the stuff evenly so I had made the problem worse. There's a huge streak on my left arm where I missed. :P I read up on how to apply tanning lotion properly and I decided to let this recent fail of a tan job go away and then try again closer to graduation.


I feel like I've written so much uselessness in the past few days. It's been around two weeks since I last wrote anything I wanted to because I was swamped with school projects and tests. So yesterday when I finished all this s...stuff I went to open the document on my computer that contained the story I was working on. Well. It wasn't there. I checked each of the twenty-some odd documents in my computer thoroughly but the one document I needed had just disappeared. I started panicking. Majorly. Seven whole chapters vanished into thin air. I know seven chapters doesn't seem like much, especially when you're reading them. But for the person who wrote them, seven chapters is so much to loose. After a mini panic attack, I realized with some relief that I had sent the first five chapters to a friend to look over. I went to my inbox and, thank God, found the email with the first five chapters. So in reality, only two chapters were lost but I'm still quite upset about it because I really really liked those last two chapters. I'm not exaggerating or being dramatic, but I liked those last two chapters more than anything I had ever written. They really dug deep into my characters' lives and some major plot development came out of them.  I remember the basic information from the chapters and will be able to rewrite the gist of what I originally had, but it just won't be the same. I'm hoping and praying that I can remember some of the exact phrasing, dialogue, and descriptions I used. I want to rewrite these two babies over the weekend.


On a happier note, tomorrow I'm going to take some prom pictures for a few friends of mine. I'm excited to see their pretty dresses and hairstyles. :) I took their pictures last year and they were absolutely gorgeous! Here are a couple from last time :)
