    That was the other night. Have you seen the comet tail photos? I think you can see it to the west-ish right at or after sunset. I have forgotten every day this week to go out and look. too bad life doesn't have rewind. ;)

    I just put my camera on the tripod and angle it into the telescope's eyepiece. Sometimes it is pretty frustrating to get it lined up in the dark and stuff. :P But for the most part it is pretty easy.

About Me:

I am in college currently seeking my bachelor's degree in Elementary Education (better late than never!); however I may change that in the future because I would like to teach middle school. Strangely that age group of children is the most overlooked and taken for granted, especially when a 12 year old looks like he is 21. :P Not surprisingly this is the most common age group for children to develop identity problems, antisocial behaviors and eating disorders. In America today it is almost always customary for a child to instantaneously go from elementary school to adult-like responsibility with almost no transition period or explanation as to what is really happening to them and why. I suppose the reason I feel so strongly about this subject is because I hated school and strongly resented the fact I had to go, especially in view of the fact that I already knew everything they were redundantly trying to teach everyone. I still find myself in ?resent mode? when I am sitting in class to this day. That is enough ranting about this topic for now. :P
Hmm, what else is there to say about me?
I was born in West Virginia and moved here to Florida with my mother when I was about 2 years old. I went to a whole bunch of schools and I once canoed the Suwannee River. I am married to a guy named Rob and I have a son named Bobby and two doggies; Suki and Sassy. (You might notice them from my photos.)
Not much comes to mind at the moment so I'll just leave it at that.
I still don't know very much, but I hope I can change that before I die. :)
P.S. I'm a sun goddess! :D Funny cause I never go outside in the daytime. :P

Interests:

I like photography. Especially when the photos are different in a way that it is not normally seen unless you really think about it. I also enjoy learning about new things in photography. Especially astrophotography. So far I have quite a few nice photos of the moon, few blurry pictures of Jupiter and Saturn and a couple of smudgy blobs of Mercury., I enjoy traveling and seeing new places, new things and, of course taking pictures of those things. I enjoy computer games, growing things and cooking sometimes., All these lists make it difficult to think of stuff to put on here. How can I narrow favorite books, movies, music and television down to just a few words seperated by commas!? I'll try, jeez....

Favorite Music:

Jack Johnson, Built to Spill, Stereophonics, Cake, Dru Hill, Camper Van Beethoven, Natalie Merchant, 10, 000 Maniacs, Travis, The Cure, Modest Mouse, Something Corporate, Saves the Day, Ash, Tenacious D, They Might Be Giants, Transplants, Supergrass, Concrete Blonde, Marcy Playground, Lemonheads, Weezer, Good Charlotte, The Cult, I can't think of more right now and my taste changes almost every day. :P

Favorite Movies:

Lord of the Rings, I am an addict I must admit, Royal Wedding, The Big Hit, The Whole Nine Yards, Hudson Hawk, Highlander, Ladyhawke, Back to the Future, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, GalaxyQuest, hmm, I like a lot of movies! Indiana Jones movies....

Favorite TV Shows:

Firefly, Red Dwarf, Dead Like Me, Dr. Who, Star Trek: The Next Generation, Nova, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, it's just funny :P, Hamish Macbeth, and I like Desperate Housewives and Medium, too. :) Oh and that show with the crab fishermen..can't...look...away.

Favorite Books:

I am currently reading Anna Karenina, but I don't really have any favorite books. I like all of them pretty much equally except certian boring textbooks :P (Philosophy textbook...), The Secret Garden is such a cute book!
