Another 'blah' post.

I'm sorry to update you on my life and for this lack-luster post. Its not really necessary.
I feel that by the time I get here, I've already been done venting about my life to other people, and I really don't even want to get into it anymore. Not that this blog really needs to turn into something of that type. Oh and also I don't need anyone that knows me and knows how to find this blog to be inside my head. (Like my tumblr O_O )

Progress
Numero uno: I've decided I'm going to make my dress for memorial. Also, that I have a giftcard to Joann Fabrics (Thank you Auntie 'Shelle! ) so I can go buy a new zipper instead of try to salvage one from a random scrap in my bin.
Numero dos: I'm halfway done with a tie. I was going to give it to a friend of mine as their really, really, really, very belated baptism present. But in the process of ironing the interfacing onto it, I burned a little spot on the front part of the tie. I'm so frustrated! This fabric was NOT cheap. I might give it to someone though. Just to see if it works out and then take out the interfacing to use it for another one.
Numero tres: I've started cleaning my room. It's miraculous! I never have that urge. I got rid of two garbage bags full of clothes and donated them to a fellow peer's senior project. Even though we had it last semester, her's is the kind that will (hopefully not) always be in demand. She was raising clothes for teen prostitutes in the Seattle area. Apparently Seattle has the highest rate of teen prostitutes and it's getting worse all the time. So when she gets clothes, they bring in the girls and have them live in a state-governed home (or something like that I can't really remember) but they try to give them the clothes so they remember they're just girls, not adults that have to sell the only thing they have to live.
Numero cuatro: I got two new jobs. Kinda. I got a pizza job, at least I thought I did. A friend of mine is a manager at this pizza place, right? So he basically gets me the job by mere association. I did all the work and came in a billion times to talk to the boss/owner but because he and I are friends, his boss hired me. But then a week later, my friend texts me and says, "Apparently Rob is still thinking about hiring you. So until I know what he decides then you're not hired" Greeeeaaaaat. So, I'm hanging in limbo waiting for the 'go ahead' by Rob. 'Til then, I quit Safeway because that place is a hell-hole. Oh, and I got a cleaning job too. I'll expand on that another time.
Numero cinco: I took pictures of some of my past projects. Things like dresses and other stuff I've found at goodwill that is amazing. Almost everything I wear that gets complimented has been something I've bought there. It makes me feel accomplished. I don't know if this is good or bad. So, expect a post on some of those things in the near, near future.


Blog - You and I are going to become very good friends. You seem to be the only one to care these days.

Oh... hey...

Fancy runnin' into you here! I haven't been here in months!

This blog has always been something that I tell myself I'll be consistent with... and much like the rest of the things in my life, I don't follow through. I have a good feeling about this though and I'll tell you why. Finally, for once in my life, I think I have all my ducks in a row. Now, I'm not saying that I've figured all those ducks out, or what each duck is supposed to represent in my life. The important thing is that they're there. Slowly, I'm finding out what I should be doing with my life and what I want to do with my life. This really helps with an overall peace of mind. Yes, my goals change from time to time, but that's okay because that's what normal humans do throughout their lifetime. What matters is that I have an end goal in sight that I can work towards. This being said, I can now work in things I enjoy doing... and actually do them. Believe me, this is quite the revelation.

I want to know.

I want to be an artist. I want to be wise. I want to be a carpenter. I want to lay in the tall grass. I want to be a fashion designer. I want to ride a horse bareback. I want to be an architect. I want to be happy. I want to be surrounded by people I love. I want to hang-glide. I want to be a bartender. I want to hope. I want to be a nurse. I want to have a shop on Etsy. I want to be a humanitarian. I want to go cliff diving. I want to eat. I want to be someone’s superhero. I want to be a chemist. I want to end world hunger. I want to listen to live music. I want to be a photographer. I want to love. I want to see the world. I want to be a fashion designer. I want to give. I want to cook. I want to be a part of world peace. I want to teach. I want to hear laughter. I want to help. I want to travel. I want to scuba dive. I want to be poetic. I want to drive across the country. I want to soar.




I want to know who I am.

M-m-m-m-m-muuusic Monday!

Late of the Pier. I can't quite recall when I heard about them, but not until recently did I actually look them up and spend time listening to them. Either way, I'm in love with them now. I just got the whole Fantasy Black Channel album and it's amazing. I really dont know what kind of genre it is, not even the slightest idea. But! Who cares. It's good stuff right there.


I just picked up my guitar again from a really long time, about two months or so. Surprisingly it wasn't as hard to get back into the groove of things. I enjoyed it. I just need to get a string because I'm missing one, it gets annoying.

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.

Signin' out --- As my bud Nadia always says "Peace, love, and buttermilk biscuits."

It's Blitz!

With school going on and actually getting invited places I haven't really had time to finish any of my projects or take pictures of previous ones. I swear they'll come sometime soon! The weeks go by way too fast now and I never feel like I accomplished anything.

I found this picture a while back, but I love it.
Everything about it really.
I like the yellow of her dress, I love the dress itself. The effect on the picture like it's realy old or partly sketched or something makes it awesome and I love the castle in the background. Almost a modernized Cinderella picture.

I've been putting off getting a guitar string for the longest time. Because of that I haven't been playing much and my fingers are going soft again. I'm sure I'll get around to it... sometime. I swear, I'm a hardcore procrastinator. One of the best out there.

So, I dont know how long Yeah Yeah Yeahs have had their newest album, It's Blitz!, out but I recently got it and I was pleasantly surprised. It took me off guard to find that the majority of the album is very chilled out. Other than Heads Will Roll, which is a really great song, they are all very low key in comparison to their past albums which had very angsty lyrics and overall was like that. Now, many friends of mine have said that they think its way more mainstream and what  public wants. But hey, I'm the public right? and I like it a lot.
