Let's See Those Desktops!

@Newt: What made you choose that particular picture as your wallpaper? Kinda interested.

My response is probably not as interesting as you'd hoped. There's something about "creepy" that I've always been oddly fond of, and I've never known why. Not "scary." I've never had desktops or posters of things that were violent or clearly attempting to be frightening. With skulls, or blood. But images that are chilling? Something about it(And I really don't know what) makes me feel almost right at home. Hell, even my favorite kind of weather, is when it's so cloudy and rainy outside, you can't see the sun. I love waking up and having it be incredibly gloomy outside. All I can hear is the rain. And then I just sit in my room and read. I usually just play video games, but that soothing sound, with the gloomy weather, makes me want to read a book in bed.

Love it.

Anyways, all of my desktop images have always been some form of photography, usually black and white, of places that appear abandoned, or maybe a forest. If I knew how to do photography and photo edit, I'd love to take some myself. There's an abandoned hotel in my town people have always called "haunted." and I'd love to take some pictures of the outside and inside, and then edit them to be black and white, etc. But I never get the shading right.

As an aside, I've never been inside the hotel, but I've always wanted to. It being "haunted", to me, just means, "empty." When human life hasn't touched something in a very long time, it gets a sort of feel for it. Like it's meant to stay that way. And even though I'm breaking that bond with nature, by entering it. It makes me feel like. Really excited.

As an aside to my aside, I've always wanted to explore Chernobyl. As in the parts that we haven't explored since the whole disaster. The emptiness of the city intrigues the shit out of me.

Is what I'm saying making sense? Or do I just sound really weird?


Edit: If you were curious, this is an article of the haunted hotel.

Yes, I live in Byron, Ca. Feel free to stalk me, I suppose. The photography I'd like to do would look MUCH better if it wasn't for all the fucking graffiti. It ruins it. It's like defiling nature, you know? The hotel looks SOOO cool to me. Augh. I wish you guys could understand how I feel about this. Haha.
