I hate macs... with a passion.

My name is Aurora. (Aura, Aurrie, Nika, etc.) Obviously. 15, live in Utah, Sophomore at Skyline High School. No one is fascinated by that stuff. Except for those creepy stalker people.

One of the most important things in my life are my friends. My best friends most of all. They keep me insane. I love them so much.

If Kenny was here, this is what he'd say:
"Cheers, mate. ~raises imaginary beer mug~"

Sorry, that had to be added.

My personal opinion is that if life is mean, or something doesn't work out, or a tragedy happens, that's life. Be upset, be depressed, but don't forget to live. You can get through it and it does you no good to continue to be depressed about it. Honestly.

Onward.

I wont say music is my life, because...well, that's melodramatic and its not. I do like to think that I love music enough for it to become my life; I love creating it, listening to it, and learning about it. I start to twitch after too long without music. I wont put up a list of my favorite bands cause there's too many, and I've been too harshly judged because of them before. I like to believe that I have a good knowledge of music and different influences. I love Canadian and Finnish rock. I know what Russian bands are good. I love rock, techno, metal, symphonic metal/rock. Anything. Of course, there are genres I don't like. Namely country and rap. But even then, I have to admit, there ARE a few good songs from each category. I'm not going to shun those songs because I don't like the general genre its in.

I know I said I wouldn't, but I'll list a few of my favourite bands;
Lovex
Linkin Park
Paramore
Nightwish
Silverstien
Deus Sceptrum
ATB

And a few others.



I'm very open minded and I don't judge. I've heard some pretty odd stuff in my life. My friends have this bad habit of thinking I won't love them or I'll love them less if I find out something about them that most people don't know. That's simply not true. I love ALL my friends, and I always will. The bad doesn't change the good.


I extend that open mindedness and non judgefulness towards everyone. Friends and strangers alike. I am always open to everyone.


There are things I want to say, things I should say, and things I shouldn't say. Maybe I'll get around to updating this eventually.

Writing is a socially acceptable form of schizophrenia. ~E.L. Doctorow

Substitute "damn" every time you're inclined to write "very;" your editor will delete it and the writing will be just as it should be. ~Mark Twain

And don't start sentences with a conjunction.
If you reread your work, you will find on rereading that a
great deal of repetition can be avoided by rereading and editing.
Never use a long word when a diminutive one will do.
Unqualified superlatives are the worst of all.
De-accession euphemisms.

Avoid trendy locutions that sound flaky.
Last, but not least, avoid cliches like the plague.

On Photography:
You don't take a photograph. You ask, quietly, to borrow it. ~Author Unknown

It's weird that photographers spend years or even a whole lifetime, trying to capture moments that added together, don't even amount to a couple of hours. ~James Lalropui Keivom

I think a photography class should be a requirement in all educational programs because it makes you see the world rather than just look at it. ~Author Unknown

A photograph is memory in the raw. ~Carrie Latet

There will be times when you will be in the field without a camera. And, you will see the most glorious sunset or the most beautiful scene that you have ever witnessed. Don't be bitter because you can't record it. Sit down, drink it in, and enjoy it for what it is! ~DeGriff
(I need to remember this one.)

If I could tell the story in words, I wouldn't need to lug around a camera. ~Lewis Hine

One photo out of focus is a mistake, ten photo out of focus are an experimentation, one hundred photo out of focus are a style. ~Author Unknown
