Lithos, History and 5000 Degrees




I'm totally going through this superficial teen-age girl phase where I'm attracted to all things shiny, and have an odd fascination with lithos. I became a fan of photo editing awhile back, and have dabbled in it ever since; the litho feature is my favorite.

I couldn't tell you the precise denotation of a litho without looking it up, but from what I gather it's the inversion of light reflected off of an object in a picture; correct me if I'm wrong. The funny part is that you have to add color to shapes you want to show up. In my case if I want my lips to show, I just wear a 'dark' lip color. The same goes for eyes, cheeks, nose, ect. The originals of the photos all look like stage makeup gone horribly wrong. I mean hiedously retched! While I haven't managed to get the lines of my face to show up, I've included a nose, and lips, which helps to make the image look a little more 3D and quite a bit less animated.

At a very disoriented 6:20 this morning, I woke up wondering if a. I had school today, b. what I was going to wear if we did end up having school today, and c. what time school started. After deducing that it was Manwear Wednesday, I got dressed, did my makeup, and discovered an uncomfortable stabbing directly above my left illeum. At first I thought my appendix had burst, but it was the wrong side. Then on my way to school the contents of my stomache seriously threatened to escape. While taking my history final, I managed to retain my breakfast, but almost Turrets'ed my way out of class and directly into the Psych. office. Luckily I avoided that one as well.

When I came home from school I was inexplicably exhausted, to the point that I'm starting to think my Mono. is flaring up again. After playing social with my 'rents, sister and her kids [which I absolutely adore! :D ], I crashed rolled up in several blankets, comforters, sweaters, and courderois, argyle knee socks on. An era later, I wake up groggy and cranky that my room is 5000 degrees, demanding that my brain stop thinking I'm in a cauldron of pahoehoe. After emancipating myself from wads of fluffy fibers and bondage, my head cleared 6.022 x 10-22 of a degree.

Happily, there are only two more days of school this week, and the government decided to grant us with a three day weekend, thanks to Martin Luther [the] King, Jr. How nice of them. Cheers! :D
