Tying up loose ends.

Elephants are the cutest. No joke, they're my favorite animal. A couple years back in a biology class we
watched a video on elephants and they are so much more complex than anyone could have imagined.

This is kind of my motto in life. A way to live by of sorts. "It is what it is". A lot of things you can't do much about and you have to let it roll off your shoulder. Sometimes when conflict arises, the only thing you can do is to just leave it alone rather than create loads of unnecessary drama. I hate drama.

I love polaroids. I love theme parks. I love the colors sky blue and yellow. This picture is amazing.

Personally, I think a theme park would be an awesome first date. Or any date for that matter really. There are things to do, many distractions so if it gets in the slightest bit awkward you can divert the attention away from yourselves and onto something else. Theme parks are also great fun for friends... or... anything really. Honestly, I think I might to go one by myself. Who cares if no one wants to join me! Theme parks are a symbol for: summer, fun, sugar, friends, and awesomeness. I can't wait until the next one comes around. I'll make sure I can go. The past couple of years I haven't gone because I either don't have the money or my parents didn't want to go because their not much of the spend money or ride amazing rides type.

I've recently become aware of Polyvore the website. It's AMAZING. You can look up any article of clothing you might find on a clothing website and people have put up possible outfit ideas. Genius. You can also create an account and do the same. I haven't quite got up the guts to do it. I really wouldn't want any hate on my pieces.

Oh! For future reference, a lot of my inspirations come from Threadbanger. They also have a lot of awesome videos on youtube. That's actually where I came across their videos because I was looking up a tutorial for something. I can't quite recall what I was looking for but I found it and so much more! They have a whole website that includes the tutorials and forums where other threadbangers post their creations and you can comment on it. At the moment I'm a long-time lurker on the forums. One of these days I'll get the guts to actually post something.

Has it really been that long since I've posted? Good gracious that's too long! I have a feeling this might be an extra-long post, just to make up for lost time. I suppose I'll start off with music this time...



Yeasayer. To be honest... the first time I listened to them I wasn't too keen on it. But, I knew I should give them another try because the friend who introduced me to them really likes them. Not to mention they're coming to town in a couple months. I took the time to listen during my ridiculous late nights where I really should be in bed, but I wasn't at all tired so I just piddled around online. Now I really like them! I can't wait to see them live. It really is going to be a great experience. That friend (who by the way is new blogger http://vomnik.blogspot.com/), Nick, is really bummed he's not going to be able to see them since he's going to be in HAWAII. Ugh, I wanna go somewhere tropical. I dont care if I have to miss a million concerts. I wanna go! But, he and the rest of his friends are going to the Sasquatch Festival. Which, by the way, has an awesome line up. At least to me it is, there are a lot of artists that I'd love to see that are going to be there. OK Go, Massive Attack, Passion Pit, Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, Neon Indian, MGMT, The New Pornographers, MIIKE SNOW ( I'm really bummed about that one), those are just to name a few. So... I don't feel so bad about going to the Yeasayer concert without him.

I think the reason why I haven't posted anything is because I spend way too much time on facebook. I swear, it's like a black hole that sucks all your time.  I dont even mean to be on that long! But then I end up staring at my homepage thinking that if I stare at it long enough something miraculous will happen. Nothing ever happens. All I've been doing is sleep, eat, facebook, eat, facebook, eat, sleep. I haven't even been doing schoolwork! I've pretty much given up. I can't WAIT for next quarter. It's going to be as easy as cake. All I'm taking is History and Ceramics.  I am so stoked. Especially since it's going to be spring... which means more sun!
It's been sunny lately. I should've taken advantage of it. But I didn't. I totally could have taken the opportunity to take pictures of my projects out in the sun. I did go to Goodwill though and scored some awesome records: Grease! Pat Benatar! The Commodores! and I found Earth, Wind, and Fire but then realized there was no record in there. UGH worst day ever! But, I think I might make some super sweet notebook or something out of it.

Currently I'm making a playlist for that friend Nick. It's so hard! Especially because I feel as though his musical knowledge is superior to mine. I really want him to like it! Not go, "ugh, I hate this song" *click -- next song plays* "Dude, seriously? She knows nothing about music!!" That would suck if that happened. I'm also trying to think of people he may not know of. Which is hard in itself because he knows A LOT of artists. I swear, I'm spending so much time on this. But.. I think I finished it and I really hope he enjoys it.

So, I'm kinda obsessed with Comic-con... I don't know why... I might talk more about that later.

And now! I'm off to go get some PHO! I finally had it for the first time not too long ago and I LOVED it.
