No Guts

So it's a new year.  It's funny to think about, because I only started this blog a little while ago, and it's already something I did last year.

So a person I know mostly through online that I went to school with (there are a lot of people who fall into this category) whom I like very much did a 365 day project in 2010.  She took a picture of herself each day and blogged it, sometimes with accompanying text, which was sometimes related to the picture but mostly not.  I think I would like to copy this idea, which she copied from someone else.  But I sort of feel like I should have started it on the 1st...maybe I could wait until my birthday, but that's so far away I will prolly have forgotten about it already by then.  I also just got a new camera for Xmas, and I think this would be a good way for me to ensure that it doesn't suffer the same fate* as my last one did.  I'm pretty nervous about the idea of taking a picture of myself everyday, but also really excited about it.  I can see it motivating me in a lot of areas, so many in fact that I think I'll make them into a list:
1.  Photography (duh)
2.  Photo editing
3.  My appearance
4.  Self-awareness
5.  Posterity
6.  My desire to do something important, even if it's just for my own gratification
7.  Being more interesting
8.  Finding visually stimulating places in the surrounding areas of my home
Okay that's long enough.  Hopefully I won't flake out on this.  I'm sitting here thinking about how little time I have when I'm in school and how I don't want to get dressed up every day to take a dumb picture of my dumb self with a camera I don't know how to use yet...

Mostly I just need a good tripod.

*Being way too fancy for my overly ambitious self to learn to use and so never getting out of its case for more than a few minutes once so I could see if something else would fit inside of it.
