Little Miss Outgoing

I am officially up on a publicly displayed wall now. Well, *I* am not, but my photos are. I can not tell you how nervous I am about this. I am not all that into being "Little Miss Outgoing" but this is a self-imposed test on me. Why? I dont know. I just feel as if I have to push myself out of my comfort zone because I have this feeling I am about to be asked to do so or given an opportunity in which I will have to be more assertive. So, the photo above is like a part of myu journey. Each arch I pass under, I learn something new. That might sound kooky, but it's all I got at the moment.


I need to get out and get more photos but I am so busy pushing myself to grow in other ways. Like, fitness, I am at the gym 3 to 4 times a week in an attempt to better my physical self so I can live longer and have more energy. It's working and I've lost some weight and my blood pressure  is down. At work, I keep trying to learn new ways of making things more efficient and accurate. I'm very scared of failure at work and beat myself up mentally every time I make a mistake. BUT, without mistakes, I can't learn. But I don't make mistakes on purpose for a learning experience. That's just silly. At school, I am not pushing myself as I think I should. I'm getting tired with it so I am taking the summer off. I have to anyway because no classes I need are being offered.


And here's photo 3 of 6 photos I am showing. =) I cant remember if I have posted them here or not already. I am also showing "Stolen Moments" and "Coffee Break" (both of which I know I've posted) and also "Twig" (see below). That's it I guess. Twig is Mom's favorite. =D I am not sure if I have a favorite.


I wonder if anyone actually reads this. I wonder if my photos will get attention. I left cards out pointing to this blog. I'm not trying to sound stuck-up. I'm just curious. Oh well... We'll see! This coming Friday I am meeting some friends up at Starbucks for a sort of "opening" party. I think it's silly and dont want to do it but I was talked into it. *sigh* - Just another thing I have to do to push myself "out there" so... I will be happy about it, darnit! I was able to hang the stuff today because the artist who was up took her stuff down early.

  2. Hi Andi

    I have been looking at your pics for a week or so now and well done for taking the step! As one who has just volunteered to put herself out there (Sept) it was quite a step. I think it was really the chaps and chapesses in Starbucks itself that pushed me in the right direction. I like the pipes of pan, she'd make a great Puck in Midsummer Nights Dream as she seems to be half laughing at us.

  3. Thank you to Sharman. =D I dont get email notifications of when someone comments. I dont know why now. I'll figure it all out one day. =D

    The fairy is "Twig" - she's always at Scarborough and also travels the Ren Fest circuit all year long.

    Isn't the crew at that Starbucks wonderful? I only really know the morning people but there are a few of the other shifts too. They are supportive!
