Dry shouts pierce my broken heart

Well, crazy as it seems, it's almost next year, which means that I should probably start thinking about my application for the visual arts program. I think I'll be able to use a few of my high school pieces, but there's definitely room for improvement in my portfolio, so I'll be working on some new pieces over Christmas break.

This post is a plea for help.

I need photo references. Aunt Suzanne, if you have some pictures of Noah that you think are cute, that would be great, because my portfolio is severely lacking in boys right now. Also, pictures of Emma, Alyssa (sp?)... really, any of them would be great. I'm kind of trying to stay away from "look at the camera and smile" shots, though, which is probably something to keep in mind.

School's going great. Finals start in about a week and a half so the stress level is rising (incidentally, that's also the reason I haven't posted in awhile), but at least the end is in sight, and Jerusalem is coming up faster than I thought possible. Hope to see some of you again before I leave! And don't forget the pictures!

P.P.S. What does the title of this post have to do with anything? ...I have no idea. Maybe it's me, shouting out my pleas for help... dryly... oh, who knows :P Jordan should know what I'm quoting, though, if he actually reads this thing :)
