On my own!

Yup, I was approved for my first apartment in my name and I will be moving in next Wednesday.

This means:

No more nagging parents.
No more computers to fix.
No more nagging.
No more curfews.
No more nagging.
No more nagging.
My decorating - coasters and color.
The food I want.


Heck yea. Of course, it means I need another job which means less of me on the internet but never fear, Real wont leave.

Plus Im going to order more posters of my pictures for the walls and frame them. Tis going to be sweet ;)

yep.. best to make a legal and binding commitment before sharing your personal space.. besides, sfmm homie, didn't you notice that "no nagging" was listed twice in his list of things to be happy about, don't you think the man wants to ENJOY his first apartment?

Nagging was more for parents than her. With her - its more tolerable. We will be together 5 years the 28th of this month. So, shes far more tolerable. Parents...not so much.

Ill sell personally to and from if anyone wants one...

www.real-coasters.com

Tell me which one you want, Ill personalize it and send you a quote based on where you live and what size you want with what type paper. Im very flexible and I could use to make a few bucks here and there now that I have bills.

real, can you make prints of photo's of older , defunct rides? i'd be interested if it's possible. i have lots of old rollercoaster postcards and i put them in those little frames from ikea, which was the reason i went there, they're perfect. anyways i 'd like to have some nice , frameable, prints of older, more obscure wooden rides for a space on my wall.

Dude! You need to retake that picture this year except make sure the train is more centered around the apex of the hill. I'd totally buy that picture!

I also really like this picture as well.... Bitchen[pshades]

That first image isnt supposed to have the train centered. why? Its not asthetically pleasing to the eye. Infact, most things shouldnt be centered but should be off center and have something else in the photo leading to that. It is much more visually dynamic that way. I was trying to capture the trains forward momentum and thus - whatever airtime you get in those back seats.


My walls are Dark Green right now.

Problem with that is if its a postcard, retaining an acceptable level of detail and grain is impossible when trying to blow it up to poster size. It already has to be in poster size for it to work. The pictures coming from my camera are default at 30" x 20" so they are fairly large to start.
