Woah, KSL...

So...yeah. This fundraising thing is going well, I suppose? I don't really know if we've raised much money or not because HELP doesn't update us on that stuff. So, as far as I know, we have 3 definite donations. BETTER THAN NONE!! Thanks to those who have donated, or who are helping to get the word out there. I have to say, it's been stressful thinking about spending all of the pennies I've saved since we've gotten married to go to El Salvador for the summer, but I have to keep telling myself that everything will work out and that it'll be worth EVERY hard earned dollar.

Anyway, enough of my financial "woes"...onto the reason why I am posting right now: some JERK on KSL! Oh mann! I mean, seriously people... You see, I'm selling my apartment contract online (which has been crazy...in a good way. A lot of people have responded, which is good), so I decided to put a few other things on there (btw, KSL is the local newspaper/website for Provo/Salt Lake/Ogden areas. They have a classifieds section online where people post stuff for sale...it's a lot like Craigslist). I placed an add saying I'm doing photoshoots for $25 donations to our trip. I put a few of my pictures up (because it's good to have some type of "portfolio" for people to check out and see if it's worth their money or not) and just waited. Of course I hadn't gotten anything because there are a million and one photographers in Utah who are trying to get their name out there and sell their stuff for way cheap (kinda like...ME! oh yeaaahh). Well, much to my surprise I got an email from KSL classifieds (which usually doesn't happen because my email address is up for people to email directly and so people will just use that over the KSL mail) and it was from "photopro". It said:
"Molly,

Find another way of paying for your vacation. Don't peddle your awful photography "skills" to people with taste. We wont pay!"

haha! Oh my goodness. Some guy/girl took the time to write me an email to tell me how much I suck at photography and that I shouldn't be using photography to try to pay for my trip to El Salvador. Yes, it did hurt my feelings at first. I got defensive in my head and was like "You butt crack! I'll SHOW YOU AWFUL PHOTOGRAPHY!!!! You come over and I'll shove my camera up yours and make you cry, jerk." ha...yeah, I felt like that. But then I decided to chill out. And then I was just confused. If you don't like some random person's work, why would you go out of your way to tell them that you hate it? haha! Beyond me.

So, that was my experience of the night. Got me all riled up. Still riled up, kind of. Mostly just tired, for no reason...other than stress and work. But I've realized that stress is really great. I mean, it's NOT great, but it's helpful. It makes me get things done NOW. Which is helpful because I stop stressing and feel productive.

This is way too long. I'm done.
