ITS WORTH IT! i sold like 10 of my autographs to get it, but ITS WORTH IT!

im hardly materialistic, but its the one thing i own that i sleep with. i almost sold one of my surfboards, too...gasp!

anyways, nikon's nice, too, but unless you're REALLY into editing stuff, a canon still produces better pictures.

wait a couple of months...like april/may - the rebel xti's price will decrease LOTS! canon just came out with a new one - the rebel xsi (its really not that much different...just takes a different memory card, is slightly faster, and has bigger megapixels)...right now you can probably get a rebel xti for 800 with 2 lens...sooner or later it'll go down to like 600 for the body and 2 lenses.

why am i even studying architecture? who knows? haha...maybe ill just quit and go into photography...

hahaha autographs by who!? i would never sell the autographs i have...they're proably not worth much anyway.

yeah i would obsess over my camera.
i think i will get one over the summer after i save some money up. i like the bargain of the nikon. it is all i need, after all i'm not professional.

seriously though, sometimes i wonder why all this architecture stuff is worth all of the effort and slaving away over. i better make some good money. :/ hahah

autographs by a few celebrities - i dont really care about them much...i'm not into the whole hollywood/celebrity scene (although some are actually talented..and it if not, beautiful people haha)

good luck on your camera!

sometimes i even wonder why i'm goign to college. dude seriously, we've been going to schol for AT LEAST the last 13 years. and to go for 5 more years (us poor archies :[) is too much for me. im thinking gap year...but probably won't - the 'rents would murder me.

ahaha true dat.
however, most schools you can study abroad for a year. my parents are encouraging me to do it. so i guess going to denmark to study architecture for an entire year is totally a gap year in itself.

how much did you get for an autograph? lol. i mean 100 dollars for an illegible scribble by lindsay lohan is totally sold on me.

my secret dream is to buy a yacht and just float around the world.

too bad it'll never happen. i'll probbably be in debt and starved to death when you find me off the shore of like...antarctica.

anyways, studying abroad with architecture is amazing - i just hate that all of them are in italy or spain. i mean, yeah, nice stuff, but i wanna go to china (again!) or japan for the modern stuff. dont get me wrong, MAJOR PROPS and LOVE to classical and traditional architecture, but im into modern architecture a lot more.

denmark's pretty sweet as far as i know. its supposedly the happiest country in the WORLD. i've never been there, but i've hosted a girl from there. isn't that random? it was for basketball...they all looked the same - all blond, tall, either drop dead gorgeous or butt ugly.

anyways - autograph wise - most sold for like 50-75 dollars. i didn't care much. the following relly ****ed me off though was i sold HEATH LEDGER's 2 days before he died. okay, you might say - its worth like HUNDREDS now...but i loved that guy. he was so sweet when i met him and so humble. i would have loved to keep his autograph just because it was him. what a pity. stupid people trying to sell his stuff now are actually getting on my nerves. good grief.

LOLLL i'm half danish. haha no offense taken to that though!!! i represent the drop dead gorgeous of course and yeah, i totally saw that 60 minutes episode about denmark the happiest country on earth! totally right though, they do look the same and they are all blond, although i am not. it's the isolation and several thousand centuries of incest. lol.

ughhh i know! i want to go to japan for arch!!! not spain or france....i like the modern stuff too. although have you seen the gugenheim in bilbao spain? it's amazing! oh yeah you have one in new york too.

ohhh that's so sad about heath ledger. yeah i wouldn't ahve sold it. that was really awful.

haha! totally didn't see that one coming. haha im pretty sure you're the drop dead gorgeous half - even though you're not blonde - but i guess that's why you're half :] thats hilarious though - you watched the same episode! oh isolation and incest jeez.

guggenheim is AMAZING....studied it a little at CMU - the one in NY is pretty amazing, too...the building and the art it contains as well.

RIP heath ledger :[

ahhaha i know you didn't that is funny though. yeah i'm half danish, half british. go me. lethal combination that's for sure. ahah luckily i don't have nasty teeth (hooray for braces).

yeah guggenheim is cool. if you are ever are in san francisco, check out the sfmoma, it's an incredible building, with great art. they just finished an exhibition of picasso. they have klee, de koonig, liechtenstein, pollock, o'keefe, warhol. the masters of modern art!!!
you'd love it.
