      For the moment I'm just sticking with photography. I would like to see my images move in some way but I'm going to leave that for someone else to do. But who knows what the future will bring.

      I know that feels. As I was beginning my 365 my best friend started ditching me almost constantly. I ended up deciding that I'd rather have no friends than one that I felt didn't value me, so I became immersed in my photography. In doing so I was able to find an entire community of people I had far more in common with. The only problem now is that they all live all over the world and I have no one to go on daily adventures with.
      So basically I have no advice... (why on earth are people asking me for friendship advice haha!)
      oh, maybe to quote Neil Gaiman's advice for every situation- "Make good art." don't know if that helps...

      I actually don't really know. I think I started becoming good friends with people on flickr when someone on formspring suggested that David, Ethan, Kiara, and I do a collab which got us talking, and was invited to Midwest and then it just kind of snow balled from there. As someone who would often rather observe than engage, I honestly don't really talk to anyone that much besides comments on facebook and the occasional G+ chat, but I still feel closer to most of them than anyone else and extremely grateful that I can call them friends.
      If you want other photographers to talk to you I think the best thing would be to introduce yourself, and if you're too shy to do that, become immersed in and obsessed with your photography, if people are interested in you as an artist they'll likely become interested in you as a person.

      If I hadn't started the photography I'm doing now I would still be studying Linguistics along with my Spanish and planning on teaching English as a Second Language. I'd also have a lot more friends who really weren't the best people to be friends with and less creative and inspiring friends.
      If I never had photography in my life at all I probably be a Chemistry genius right now and a very different person. I started college in 300 level Chemistry and only dropped it because the workload required left me no time for the things I enjoyed, such as photography.

      Quite a few actually- http://www.flickr.com/people/iambradical/photosof/
      I think self-portraiture made me more comfortable with being in front of the camera and learn how I do and do not look good. But ultimately I think it comes down to the photographer's attitude and instructions.

      Bothering me-
      1. The weather. Not enough snow to take snow photos, but still just enough patches to make other things awkward
      2. Wanting to be done with school, like, last year.
      3. I accidentally just bought fat free milk instead of 2%. Like really what's event the point of milk if it's fat free?
      Happy about-
      1. Finished the Murder Ballads finally.
      2. Got a new record player
      3. Life

      Nope, I've never seen the appeal of using any sort of drugs. I'm an extreme introvert. I live in my head and know how I work and I don't do well when something throws that off. Even when I've had enough alcohol to feel it I start to panic inside because I can't control myself as well.

      I still really want a ships steering wheel, although I've nearly forgotten why I wanted it in the first place. And also a cadaver...

      I'm not sure, but I would much rather someone have too much empathy than not enough.

      A mix of Pan's Labyrinth, Coraline, Mirror Mask, and a bit of O, Brother Where Art Thou? I would say

      Flickr is usually the final resting place for my photos, but constructive crit is always welcome so I can take it into account for future photos (or in case I messed something up really bad and didn't notice haha)

      Perks of Being a Wallflower.
      Unless you mean scared crying, in which case it would be Thumbelina when I was little...
