i stand corrected

Want to share this long email from Paula & it's quite interesting..

Hey there,

I swear i nearly had a heart attack when i read the subject of that email and hadn't saw who it was from!

Anyway.. im a complete stickler for seeing mistakes in books/ newspapers/ magazines etc and so i did notice a few on your blog..

1. "Thnak Would this be equivalent to answering some kind of a survey? Do I take time to answer surveys? Yes I do, especially when I know that there is a benefit."

2.Is it their age? How old are you, how young are you? Is it their youth or wisdom?? Maturity or insecurity??
^ This should probably be "How old are they, how young are they?" as the rest of your paragraph continues like this

3.A birthday is an acknowledgement of one's existence and grateful that we crossed paths.
^ Not sure this sentence makes sense (tho it could be the way im reading it)

Hope u don't think im being rude but u did ask and like i said these things stick out to me for some reason...maybe i analyze things too much...!

"How lovely & fun meeting you at Parlour! Very true!! : )"
"ps. Is there a cause near & dear to you to be a possible candidate for a fundraiser.. well we know this part already.. AUTISM it is"

I bet u send this to everyone and just change the place and cause! ....oh dear i really am cynical aren't i?!

I uploaded the pictures from that night onto my computer the other day and i near had a hernia laughing at them, i still cant believe those 2 couples fell for the story i told them about the art project i was doin...i must send them their pics tho, as that coca cola guy said any time i wanted to stay in NY he's sort me out with somewhere to stay for free, hahahaha, still laughing about it all, wonder if he'll follow through :) plus i could meet up with his "friend" and get some relationship advice haha!

Although the whole point of ur project is that its people who dont know u, i really wish i had known cuz now ive lik a million questions/ musings of my own about it! It is a great way to meet people though and uve got a lotta pretty ladies there, maybe i should do a male version of it?!!

p.s. so the reason u told me it was called Blueprint 49 wasn't true?

days are short

I've noticed that most of the shots recently are at night or indoors. Nature of Fall/Winter months and Winter Solstice is yet to arrive. I've been really pushing myself to go out and catch that "photo of the day" when what I really want to do is be in fetal position in my warm bed.

we've been blogged

after the 104th day

Finally, I caught up with uploading all the pictures.. not a small task. I'm happy that the site was released at the eve of Thanksgiving Day.

Now I can finally put some focus on the writings & the text of how I encountered everybody.

I do want to share some comments that came in via email over the Holiday weekend:

Hi, Renzo! It's Deb, from Trailer Park. I can't wait to check this out (after my Thanksgiving feast). Meanwhile, I'm inviting you to a party I'm having next Friday, so look for that evite. Hope you can make it!!

So to answer your questions, I decided to be apart of your project because I thought it was cool, and I like to help people.
My age may have had something to do with it, but I don't know why you picked me, maybe because I looked friendly, or because I was working at a concession stand and I'm supposed to be nice to people, lol.
I define young and old mostly on apperance, like gray hair and wrinkles. I have learned not to judge people based on thier maturity because I know small children that are more mature than 50 year old men, I judge maturity based on how people react to stressful situations, or the topics of conversation that they enjoy discussing.
I define insecurity as uncomfortable, feeling as if they are not safe, out of their comfort zone, for any reason.
I was in a pretty good mood when you asked me, probably getting a little tired, but in a good mood.
Occupies my mind, wow, well mostly school stuff, or Dairy Science Club things I need to get done, and or what I'm going to eat for my next meal. Other than that I try to get together with friends and hang out.
Play: something I don't do very often, umm read books, watch NCIS, ride horses, job shadow vets (my career goal), pretty much anything crafty, facebooking (lol).
For work I guess you could count my chores, when I'm home, and when I go to the vet clinics I work too. When I'm at college my work is my homework and studying for quizzes/exams.

A little more about me: I'm a sophomore at Iowa State University, majoring in animal science. I grew up between two homes, because my parents are divorced. My dad's is a farm, where I spent every other weekend, but it's the one I call home. My mom's is in town, Osceola. I grew up loving going to my dad's aka his parents' because I love animals, and I love working. There I could combine both of these, and hang out with my role model (my Grandpa). From there I decided that I wanted to be a vet because I love livestock and dogs, not so much cats though. I was pretty involved in almost everything in high school including band, FFA, 4-H, volleyball, and National Honor Society. All of these activities helped me learn to talk to people. I also babysat and did some housework for an older lady I met through one of our FFA fundraisers when I wasn't busy with other stuff.

So yeah, that's me, anythnig else you're welcome to ask!

What this tells me is that Lizzy really took the time out to answer the questions I posted.Thnak Would this be equivalent to answering some kind of a survey? Do I take time to answer surveys? Yes I do, especially when I know that there is a benefit.

Thanks Lizzy I appreciate it..

Cheers!
