And now, school started again, I&#8217;m trying to give it a good start so I can set my first steps towards the end of college (which is still a good 2 years away)<br \/>\n<!--more--><br \/>\nOther projects are slowly getting shape as well. My photography is good, and I can finally be confident about the quality of my pictures. They&#8217;re not perfect, and they&#8217;ll never be, but I found the beginning of my style of photography. Now I just have to find more excuses to keep on shooting.<\/p>\n<p>And that won&#8217;t be a real problem, got a wedding coming up in October, sent emails away to a relatively local organization for concert photography. And I&#8217;ve got some other websites and magazines to mail as well. In the mean time I&#8217;ll just take any excuse to shoot for <a HREF=\"http:\/\/www.devorstin.nl\/\">de Vorstin<\/a>. See my latest photo&#8217;s for Hilversum on Air and Hilversum Alive <a HREF=\"http:\/\/wolf.a61.nl\/gallery2\/v\/party\/alive2007\/\">here<\/a> and <a HREF=\"http:\/\/wolf.a61.nl\/gallery2\/v\/party\/onair2007\/\">here<\/a>. Coming festival where de Vorstin is connected is going to be <a HREF=\"http:\/\/www.ilovehillywood.nl\/\">ILOVEHILLYWOOD <\/a>. No idea what I can expect there, but that is part of the challenge and what I like about photography.<\/p>\n<p>Now all this is nice and all, it shows that my life isn&#8217;t a complete failure (my words, shut up). But it&#8217;s all distraction from myself. Keeping myself busy and stuff like that.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m tired, I&#8217;m emotionally unstable. Sort of flailing around for anything to keep myself upright. Hoping for things to get better, which I know it will, trying to take it easy, while I actually need to put lots of energy in at least two of my current endeavers (school and photography).<\/p>\n<p>And besides this all, girls, shyness, old and new insecurities (mostly old though). Where as <a TARGET=\"_blank\" HREF=\"http:\/\/drama.danwa.net\/\" TITLE=\"voh\">voh<\/a>\u00a0had a good time last saturday (he hooked up), my night ended feeling very tired and sorry for myself. Thankfully I&#8217;ve learned how to not mess up other people&#8217;s nights when I&#8217;m like that.<\/p>\n<p>While feeling like this having a normal social conversation is difficult for me. I have the irritating tendency to just talk about everything that is bothering me. And constantly trying to get the attention to me, and only me. Attention whorish yes :). But that&#8217;s not what I want, and so I do try to ignore my own feelings and strike up small talk with other people. Sometimes it works, often it doesn&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve got too much hope for a situation I know won&#8217;t work out, not in the short term anyway. And the long term perspective is years at the least. And I can&#8217;t let it go, and I keep on feeling like an ass. I have difficulty chatting with her over MSN, because I&#8217;m missing too much non verbal information, so I can&#8217;t figure out what she&#8217;s thinking.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps I&#8217;m in love, perhaps I&#8217;m in love with the memories of that short period of time. I don&#8217;t know, and I guess that is what is eating my from the inside out.<\/p>\n<p>All I can do now is wait, and try to ignore those feelings. Which is difficult everytime I get reminded of her.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Funny how a simple thing as working too much can more or less destroy most of the zen I reached during the vacation in France.
