Day 365
I just want to say, before I start ranting about what I did today, that I did it. I did it!! I completed my 364 challenge. I know for a fact that I missed 2 days. I may have missed another. I'm not sure. But every day had a picture. I kept up pretty good with it. At the first of the year, I didn't think I could do it. I was looking forward ahead through the whole year. And in February, I felt like quitting. But I decided, I would try it for a few months. Just stick it out. And see if I could do it. After some time, it became a habit. It was fun. It was enjoyable. And I didn't even think of it. Sometimes it was tiring. Like "oh... yeah... I need a picture for today". But it really was a challenge. And it was fun. And it forced me to take pictures. Of something! Everyday. I have done it. I have completed the challenge. I have taken a picture every day for the entire year. I've even ranted about my days. Which, this whole blog has basically been the same thing over and over again. My face. Something in my room. Or a picture of outside. Which is my own fault for not taking my camera with me. But this year has been the same thing over and over again. It hasn't been very eventful. It has and it hasn't. A lot of things have happened. But at the same time, I a lot of things I'm waiting to have happen, hasn't. It's been a waiting room. And I'm hoping that next year, things will happen. I'm hoping for an adventure. Which is why I plan to do another 365 challenge. Except instead of my face, I plan to take pictures of my yellow gnome. Mr.Stevengood. I told my mom that this year has been kind of a snooze fest. But I would hate to not do it, and 2014 end up being an exciting year for me. So I have decided that I will continue the 365 challenge. It has been fun for me. I don't know if I will want to rant as much. It's actually tiring sometimes. Typing things up. And in the end, is anyone really reading this? No. No one is looking at this. But I suppose, it's just nice for me to type things out. But I do plan next year to do the challenge differently. I plan to carry my camera with me, everywhere. I plan to be creative with my shots. I plan to not only carry my camera with me, but also my yellow gnome, Mr.Stevengood. And like I said, I don't think I want to rant as much. So if I talk about my day or not, depends. Next year may be just like this one. Nothing new. Same ole same ole. But what if my adventure finally finds me? What if my wings finally take flight? What if my feet take me somewhere? I would definitely want to document it. So I just wanted to share my plans for next year. And just take a moment to say, I did it!!!! I DID IT!!!! It's done. It's finished. It's over. And I'm going to start all over again. Now, to move on to the ranting of what I did today.
Well I went walking today. For the last time this year. I like saying stuff like that. Other than that, I literally just laid in bed. For, certain reasons. Moving on... A few weeks ago, my friend Stefanie and I were talking about New Years. And I suppose, I invited myself over? So that was the plan. I come over for New Years. She texted me yesterday to double check. And I asked her to pick me up. So the plans were set. I was going to spend New Years at her house. Which is unusual for me. Usually, I'm home. I'm in my room. Quite literally. I don't celebrate. I don't shoot fireworks. I don't go anywhere. I'm just, at home. In my house. Alone. And then suddenly the sound of a thousand fireworks goes off through the neighborhood. Sometimes I might write a poem for the closing of the year. But that's it. So this is different for me. But it's exciting as well. We laughed so much tonight. We tried to make a bonfire, but the wood was too wet. It never thrived. We got it big at times. But it never thrived. We did make our s'mores. It was delicious. I snacked on left over hush puppies and a piece of chicken. Had a glass of milk and two or three glasses of water. We laughed and watched TV. We mostly just reminisced though. About the past. Our childhood. It was nice. And we had so many laughs. We jumped on her trampoline. Laughed and talked some more. We tried to drive out and find someone popping off some fireworks. But we never did. So I got one lousy shot of a firework. I was hoping for something more spectacular. And I don't have it. I hate that I didn't get a great firework shot for my last day of my challenge. That was desire. Something exploding. And I didn't get it. Very disappointed. Oh well. Here's some fire. It was a lot of fun. And I'm happy 2013 is over with. I'm hoping to start an adventure next year. I'm hoping for new opportunities. I'm hoping to live my dreams. And I still want to see The Hobbit. (Desolation of Smaug)
