Fotography Friday #25- Lauren's Grad

As you know, I spent Aug 4-12 in Texas. I used my Delta ticket voucher to go to Lauren's graduation, which was an awesome experience! I got to see her campus, and eat at all sorts of awesome restaurants, and make some new friends! We also went to the beach a bit, which was fun (I don't go in our beaches because the water is too murky and stuff constantly rubs against your legs). Lauren's beach was very clear and there's no "stuff" in the water. But I took a zillion grad photos, and these are my favorites!

Lauren and I, post-graduation! We're awesome, I know!

Check out the graduate! Lauren looked fabulous for her graduation!

An awesome face shot of my cousin... Her cap was incredibly fun. We couldn't decorate ours for graduation, so I'm incredibly jealous!

A nice backdrop, in my opinion... Lauren is very photogenic... much more than myself lol

This one is my favorite simply because of the awesome reflections on the building. The glass perfectly reflected the blue sky and clouds!

Georgia Nicolson Giveaway!

When I was in middle school, a friend and I started reading the Georgia Nicolson books together. Admittedly, I never had the opportunity to finish the series... However, I was surfing the internet last year and happened upon a listing for a movie rendition! I was so excited!!! Unfortunately at the time it wasn't available on Region 1 DVD, so I'll admit I downloaded it so I could watch it. A few months ago I saw it listed in the Red Box "Coming Soon" movies- it was coming to Region 1!!!! So of course I bought it immediately and I have to tell you- this is one of my favorite movies!

It's not a meaningful movie, and it has no intellectual content, however it's great for an evening of simple amusement! These books used to make my friend and I laugh for hours, and the movie is just as great (Seriously, I got my mom to watch it and even she enjoyed it!)! The language used is especially entertaining (nunga nungas, fabbity fab fab, and away laughing on a fast camel are a few of my favorites). Angus, Thongs, and Full Frontal Snogging by Louise Rennison is about Georgia, a fourteen year old girl navigating the mayhem that is being a teenage girl. Everything from boys and kissing to crazy family members and friends are brought up in this journal-style book.

I have decided to share my love for this series by doing a giveaway! One lucky winner will receive a copy of the book and the DVD (Both of which are in lightly used condition, considering it's all I can afford. They're both still in awesome shape)! Be sure to give your email address, so I can contact you if you've won! Winner will have 48 hours to reply and receive their prize! Giveaway ends on Sept. 10th at 11:59 PM!
