Soooo, yesterday, my family and I drove up into the mountains to check out some Indian ruins. Naturally, I brought my camera and went picture crazy yet again! XD Here are some of my favorite shots.

As usual, feedback is very much appreciated, these look best in full view, blah blah blah stuff you already know by now. XD

In other photo related news, I finally got myself a Flickr account! ^^ Most of the stuff I have uploaded there I've already posted here before, but I figured I'd link to it, anyways.
http://www.flickr.com/people/quite_solemn/

Yeah, I took these at the barn... maybe a week or so ago? Something like that. XD Well, anyways, here they are! Once again, I recommend full viewing all of these. ^^

Hope you enjoyed those!

Hmmmm... ya know, I'm thinking of getting a Flickr account. << >> I mean, you can upload photography to DA, but people don't seem to leave as much feedback on those...

( Semi-long spoiler free Up review here! )


...Wow, this got long! Ummm, okay, I'm gonna go post in the RP now, then go to watch some more MST3K. I'll talk to y'all later! XD

Uhhhh so yeah, I'm really stupid an only JUST now discovered I have a scrapbook here that I can upload pictures too. 8D; You may pity me if you'd like.

Anyways, so upon that RIVETING discovery, I decided to upload a bunch of pictures I took! Last week, my family and I went out to actually do something fun. Since we're leaving Arizona next month, we're trying to visit all of our favorite places out here one last time, and this time we went to Joe's Farm Grill, my favorite restaurant, and then from there we went to the Arizona Museum of Natural History. It was fun. 8D

...Of course, the day was kind of ruined later when I first started having my laptop issues, but it was fun before that! ^^;

Anyways, here's some of the photos I took. I know I've already uploaded most of these to FaceBook, but this is for people who aren't on there. Photography has kinda become a hobby of mine, so I like getting feedback on it and stuff. XD;

Anyways, here they are! You should be able to tell the restaurant and the museum apart. << >>

Now, I am off to draw a picture. *trots off*

( Up ramblings! )

...In other words, nostalgic Kaitlyn is nostalgic, and I really really want to see Up now kplzthx. 8D *goes back to stalking the Tomatometer*

...And also, random, but I found the WEVE shirt I wanted at Hot Topic the other day! Whoohoo!

Mmmyeah, BC tagged me with this character meme last night for TICH from our WERPchats, and I think it looks fun, so I might as well do it while I have a free moment. XP

...Okay, it's not five, but most everyone on my FL has been tagged already. XD; (AND RPs DO COUNT AS FANDOMS, I INSIST.)


Anyways, some big things happened to me this week, but I'll wait to talk about it in a different journal entry. For now, I am going to continue playing Pokemon Platinum and watching MST3K obsessively. o3o *goes to do so*

Yeah, so, I went on a two hour and forty-five minute hike in Wood's Canyon Lake yesterday (NEVER AGAIN @_@), and I took lots of pictures. << >> I had a really fun time both taking and editing these. I'll post some of my favorites here.

I recommend full-viewing all of these, BTW.

( Cut so your FList won't explode. XP )

I'm really proud of how these came out. ^^

Anyways, not much going on with me today. I went out and bathed my horse, then came back home and randomly got sad for a while. (I wish I'd stop feeling so moody. >.O) I'm feeling a little better now, though.

..Also, I'm officially trying really hard to gain weight now. I dun wanna go to the doctor. D: *drinks protein enriched chocolate milk*

Never ride a horse in the middle of a hot afternoon out here EVER again. @_@ Now granted, I didn't have much of a choice, considering it was a lesson and all... but still. Even though my trainer went a little easier on me since she knew I was sensitive to heat, I thought I was going to die. And because I was so drained, it was hard to focus on anything... apparently I still did okay, but I still never want to do that again. *falls over*

...And to make matters worse, when I got home, my brother was in my freaking ROOM playing with my keyboard. And of course, he acts like I'm being soooo mean to him when I tell him to get out. DUDE. YOU ARE ALMOST TWELVE YEARS OLD. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO TELL YOU TO STAY OUT OF MY ROOM ANYMORE. My room has always been my personal space since... pretty much the day he was born, so he should know better. The fact that he was touching my stuff made me even madder.

... Now I'm suddenly starving to death. *falls over*

Yeah, I've been having epic creative block of FAIL as of... earlier on this week, I guess? Well, either way, it's really annoying, and I wish it would go away. =/ I've been having a hard time writing anything lately because of it, and I only just started drawing again today. So... as a result, I've basically just been playing with doll makers on DA and watching MST3K all week. Which is fun and all, but I'd still like my creativity back, kthx. D8

Anyways, I have a riding lesson tomorrow, so I should probably be getting some rest... although I can't bring myself to go to sleep yet, so I'll probably just play some more Pokemon or something. Here's to hoping my creativity will return from whatever vacation it's on. >>

...Sometimes, I really wish my life was more eventful. I know that sounds silly, considering some people would kill for a more relaxing life, but... yeah. I just feel really useless for some reason.

Heh, my first LJ post was just about me getting an LJ account. XD And looking at it now, I sounded really... bratty. Or at least grouchy. It was back in 2007, and I was a few days away from moving from Texas to Arizona, so I talked a little about that in there. Basically... nothing very interesting and my past self annoys me.

Aaand then I didn't write much on LJ for about a year, before returning in 2008. Looking back on it now, I went through a period of time where my entries were REALLY huge for some reason. XD I don't know if it was because I was trying to document everything I did for memories sake,  or if it was just because I was really chatty, but... yeah.

Anyways, I should probably go shower now... I wanna watch some MST3K before I go to sleep, and I'm probably going to be going to a mall tomorrow, so I better go do that now.

Stolen from netbug009 because I'm bored. XD

Now for your enjoyment, Easter themed WALL*E pictures! Been a while since I made any of these.

( Cut so I won't kill your FList. )

...Yyyyeah, I was bored, and wanted an excuse to edit some pictures. XD But anyways, happy Easter, all!

Yeah, I'm feeling much better now and stuff. ^^ Yesterday was actually a really nice, peaceful day for me, although I didn't do much other then sit around and play with my laptop all day. It was nice to go a day without feeling upset, though, and as of today, I'm still feeling pretty good. Hopefully posting this won't jinx it.

Anywho, I actually had a really nice ride with my horse today. We worked on cantering a bit, and to my surprise, he actually didn't bolt down the right side of the arena like he usually does, which was really nice. He even kept his head down for the most part, so hopefully this is a sign that we're improving and stuff.

Anyways, I'm gonna try to go draw something now. (You know I'm feeling better when I start drawing again) On top of that, I need to do some school work today, since I was allowed to skip it yesterday... *sigh* Oh well.

...On a completely unrelated note, I can't believe Easter is the day after tomorrow. O___o It just seemed to come so fast... I'm looking forward to it, though. Any holiday where I get to gorge myself on chocolate all day and have a nice dinner is fine by me. XD

( Cut for depressed ramblings. )

To make a long story short: Kaitlyn is overly stressed right now and needs to pour out her feelings before she goes to bed or it'll drive her crazy. Maybe I'm overreacting, but that's just how I feel.

...Yeah, I'm going to sleep now. Again, this probably isn't anywhere near coherent, since it's almost 2:30 where I am... but I just felt like I needed to vent. I've been holding in these feelings for so long, and however stupid they may be, I just have to talk about them. Hopefully I won't cringe too much while looking back over this tomorrow.

Sorry for the emo-ness. I feel a little better now, though.

Okay, I do not feel good. @_@ I feel completely exhausted, like I can barely move, and on top of that, my back is sore for no apparent reason... I feel like I could just pass out and sleep all day, honestly.

*sigh* I'm gonna go eat something, then reply to WERP, since I was too tired to do it last night... we'll see how I feel by then, but I have to say, I really hope we can skip going to the barn today. I do not feel up to it. .___.;

Netbug009 and Shadowwolf75, I blame you. XD

...Twitter wouldn't let me spell my name right. D: Apparently, it has too many characters. Of course, it's spelled wrong on here, too...

Okay, I am officially like, exhausted today. @_@ I've had a really long week with my Nana being here and all, and while it's been fun, I think it's really worn me out. I've also been staying up really late these past few nights... partly because of MST3K, and last night, it was because I worked on a post 'til like, 1:00. XD;

...Either way, I'm really tired, so I think I may nap a little today, or at least just try to relax. We're taking my Nana back to the airport in about 40 minutes, though, so I have to leave pretty soon here.


...But anyways, this week was pretty fun. I actually didn't do all that much with my mom and Nana, but we still had a pretty good time. I had a great riding lesson on Monday, and Tuesday night, we went out to Joe's Farm Grill, which was delicious, as usual. XD

I have to say, I'm kind of glad my house will be going back to normal, though. The constant distractions have been making it hard for me to play Ocarina of Time, and that makes me sad. D8

EDIT: Oh, by the way, thanks to the people who wished me a happy birthday on my last journal. XD; *kept forgetting to respond*

EDIT: *KICKS LJ* >>;;

Yeah, so, yesterday was my 16th birthday! XP And, lucky me, I got up in the morning and my cold was pretty much gone...which is what I was hoping for because I REALLY didn't want to be sick on my 16th birthday party. XD;

Anyways, I didn't actually do much, though. My dad was at work, and my mom and Nana were at a cat show, so I pretty much had the house to myself the entire day. I wondered if it might be kind of lonely, but it was actually pretty fun. I just kind of roamed around on the internet and entertained myself.

After that my parents got home, and I ate dinner and had epic WERPvoicechat for a little while...and around 9:00, I got off to eat cake and open my present. Long story short...

I GOT A BRAND NEW LAPTOP, WHOOHOO!! 8D

Yeah, seriously, this laptop rocks. It's actually used, but I honestly couldn't care less about that. It's got a widescreen monitor, a built in DVD player, some REALLY nice quality speakers built into it, wireless internet, and probably a whole lot more I haven't discovered yet. XD

Anyways, after that, we had cake and just talked for a little while and stuff. We also took pictures. << >>





Afterwards, I had more epic voicechat, and then I watched WALL*E on my new laptop before I went to bed. XD (It looked AMAZING.)


Anyways, I think I'm going to continue playing around with this thing a bit...I might also download FireFox, since I've never used that before and everyone says it's better. << >> I'm also in the middle of playing Ocarina of Time, so I should probably get back to that, too...

...The Fire Temple's music is creeping me out! D8

Ugggh I don't know what's wrong with me. @_@ Last night, we went out to this really authentic Irish pub for a Saint Patrick's Day dinner, and while I enjoyed myself, the wait ended up being nearly two hours, and while we were waiting, my throat started getting really scratchy. I thought maybe I had something stuck down in there, but it didn't go away when I started eating, either...

And on top of that, it didn't go away when I got home, and I slept really fitfully. I still feel sick. Now granted, right now I feel okay, since I can actually breathe, but I wish my throat would stop being so sensitive...

...Oy, I'm gonna go lay down on the couch now. @.@ We were supposed to go to the barn and go clothes shopping and stuff today, but I don't think I feel up to it now...
