Weekend Wrap Up

WELL not much to report. Feeling better *thanks*, went to the Tennessee Aquarium which was nice, I've been there before. The Georgia Aquarium will be up soon, but alas I should be in Savannah. Had a strong desire for fish for dinner.......hmmm. Just working on getting things together as per usual. Well not usual since I have not been doing much of that lately. Procrastination is my strong suit ah. Not very happy that I'm worth whatever is says down there. But hey I've been around longer hehe. Although I think a lot of people really go too far in describing themselves, or think more of themselves, whatever you want to say. Saw the movie Hitch (or this site, i love the IMDB) and my god did i need that. For me, it was totally hysterical. TOTALLY funny. especially the dancing, that was the best. Just because people just let loose and think they dance really good. Too funny. I would like to have bought a few things at the outdoor/survival store but I'm tryin to watch my pennies. If I don't NEED it i DON"T NEED to buy it. Quite hard to do trust me. I just hope I can survive on what I save when I go to SCAD. I'm honestly getting scared. And really worried. Just don't know how hard it is for me. Granted, I KNOW that I should be ok, won't end up with ratty hair and living on the street, least I certainly hope not, but going from making money, being independent, to not working and school full time (which I think I should have done so long ago, but just didn't, a whole other story), is really truly frightening. I guess because the *plan* is not laid out in Black and White with a 100% guarantee. Granted I know this job isn't 100% secure, but not having any income, or just putting myself out there again to try to find a part time job, just is horrifying. Being laid off, I know what it was like. And now I feel the *age* thing, which they aren't supposed to discriminate on, but I felt it. Either that or I'm too sensitive about it, but you know they do it. I have never waitressed, so I can't really do that now, could I? Well I don't think so, not with my personality, cause the first asshole would be wearing his coffee. That's if I could get it to his table without half of it on the floor.

Ah but anyhow, I will stop there. I didn't take any photos at the Aquarium because I just wanted to see. Although I do have a tip for you photographers out there.......um unless you have your camera right up against the glass of the aquarium, or tilted (as in NOT taking a direct frontal shot with your camera) or turning your flash off, all your pictures will NOT turn out. You will get that nice FLASH in every photo. Granted I had done that once, before I wanted to pursue photography, and was like WTF. So when I see people just snapping away, I can't help but chuckle. I did hear one woman tell someone not to bother taking photos in the aquarium, where it's low light. But you can, if you hold your camera a specific way to avoid the full-on flash in every photo. I have some nice shots.

o0o0o and I got to *pet* stingrays and bamboo sharks. OMG just so neat. I love touching wildlife, although if I was out in the wild I wouldn't. you crazy!!! Of course the urge would be great, and let me tell you, they feel squishier than jelly. Kinda like that green slime that kids like to buy in a can or whatever. The sharks well didn't feel that weird. I own snakes so it's kinda like that. Nice experience. O and to touch sturgeon too. Walked through the butterfly exhibit and one landed on me, I love that stuff. Some of these things you just never would get a chance to be up close and personal with. My best friend has issues with putting animals in tanks and cages for display (although she goes to the zoo, go figure, but won't go to an aquarium). That's for another discussion......I'm all for them, in moderation and such.

Well now I'm hungry for tuna.....Enjoy
