New Orleans!
Me: Why you take until my face so fat!!!
Sister: Because I see the background ugly so I can't be bothered to make the picture look nice.
Me: ...

You shall read the following post with me staring at you.
New Orleans is mesmerizing! I've only been to the French Quarters, but still. The weather is amazing. My Polaroid 35mm point and shoot camera accompanied me through the trek through the neighborhood~ I can't wait to develop the photos, hope they turn out well. A bit iffy because of the flash (cannot be turned off, fires on every shot) and lack of manual focus... After all this IS a point and shoot, and not a digicam/manual camera! But if the pictures turn out the way they appeared in the viewfinder I will be one very very happy girl. The colors were so dreamy they have struck right through to my heart.
Coincidentally it is St Patrick's Day today and the French Quarters were even more crowded than usual! The merrymaking brought this festive atmosphere but it was not without its brawls and friction – witnessed people getting into fights and others getting high on weed as if marijuana was the final breath of air in this world.
Not that it's apparent in the picture but I got my hair dyed black! Got it dyed to this brown with a reddish tint midway through last semester, then the roots grew out and I couldn't be arsed to get them touched up (didn't love my hair color anyway...) So I just bought black dye and had Michelle manage it all for me on Thursday. Now my hair is darker than my original color – the blueness of it now frames my face and emphasizes the sallow, yellow undertone in my skin :'( my first reaction was derogatory ("Fuck now I look like an ahtiong"), but this is with no offense to ahtiongs out there ok I know the problem lies with my own natural skin tone LOL.
