May
Hurrah, I’m officially over half way through this project! April has been a mad month, absolutely mad. I joined a gym with Fiedi, and the first few weeks of that were pretty painful. I fainted in my first gym session, which wasn’t at all awesome. I accidentally broke some hearts, too, and ended all my nothings. So that was a painful lesson to learn. I worked behind the bar (for what I’m pretty sure was the last time), which was brilliant (though, not the work part. The party part was awesome). I fell madly head over heels for Dub Fx, and have been thrashing his brilliance to the exclusion of all else. I’ve been slowly getting myself organised for possible adventures, which has been a lesson in patience and organisation. The last week wasn’t so brilliant, with two funerals to attend. I was closer to those that grieve than those that passed, but still, funerals aren’t particularly easy.
Apart from the last week or so, things feel more stable this month. Like I’ve finally found my footing, and I’m not grasping for handholds, and I don’t have to hold my breath anymore. It’s kinda nice :)

I love your 365 project!! That last shot is just adorable :)
@Emily Jane – Aw, thanks! That’s my Second Cousin in the last shot. He’s a great little kid, I <3 him muchly :) - elly x
I like your face. :) And I like this project! You got some awesome shots there.
@Sleepyjane – Ha! Thanks hey :) – elly x
So explain this 365 Project. I arrived late in the game and didn’t come across an explanation. :)
@MindyKnows – There are so many variations of this, but they all tie together the same: You take one photo a day for a year. The project I picked was a self-portrait 365, the idea being the more photos you take the better your photo-taking skills will become, and with self-portraits, as a subject I’m available 24/7 for myself, and I’m forced to keep taking different kinds of photos of the same subject. Well, I’m meant to be taking different kinds of photos, anyway :)
I started in October, with an attitude change about committing to things, and committing to fun impulses and the spontaneous. :) You can read the first post here, if you like. Or all my 365 posts are tagged here.
So thats it, in a nutshell. Quite a few people are doing it, it seems every second person I come across is doing or has done a 365 project. Its helpful that way, we all kind of motivate each other along :)

Thanks for the tutorial. Sounds ambitious and the commitments you’re making to change are admirable. Keep it up, girl! :)
@MindyKnows – No problem, hey :) It is kinda ambitious, but I’m more than 6 months in now, I’d be so gutted if there was a reason that I couldn’t continue after I got this far in! Thanks for the comments! – elly
