brightened my day

Oh well in five years time we could be walking round a zoo
With the sun shining down over me and you
And there’ll be love in the bodies of the elephants too
And I’ll put my hands over your eyes, but you’ll peep through

And there’ll be sun sun sun
All over our bodies
And sun sun sun
All down our necks (?)
And sun sun sun
All over our faces
And sun sun sun

So what the heck

Cos I’ll be laughing at all your silly little jokes
And we’ll be laughing about how we used to smoke
All those stupid little cigarettes
And drink stupid wine
Cos it’s what we needed to have a good time

And it was fun fun fun
When we were drinking
It was fun fun fun
When we were drunk
And it was fun fun fun
When we were laughing
It was fun fun fun
Oh it was fun

Oh well I look at you and say
It’s the happiest that I’ve ever been
And I’ll say I no longer feel I have to be James Dean
And she’ll say
Yah well I feel all pretty happy too
And I’m always pretty happy when I’m just kicking back with you

And it’ll be
Love love love
All through our bodies
And love love love
All through our minds
And it be Love love love
All over her face
And Love love love
All over mine


Although maybe all these moments are just in my head
I’ll be thinking ‘bout them as I’m lying in bed
And all that I believe (?) might never really come true
But in my mind I’m havin’ a pretty good time with you

Oh

Five years time
I might not know you
Five years time
We might not speak
Oh
In five years time
We might not get along
In five years time
You might just prove me wrong

Oh there’ll be love love love
Wherever you go
There’ll be love love love
Wherever you go
There’ll be love love love
Wherever you go
There’ll be love love love
Wherever you go
There’ll be love love love
Wherever you go
There’ll be love love love
Wherever you go
There’ll be love love love

4/20...more like 1 Corithians 6:20

So my birthday came and went. i hate those kind of birthdays. God really opened my eyes to many things though; things I knew I needed to act upon but just needed an extra push I suppose. Well, I got it. And if having a rather disappointing birthday means ultimately doing what's best for me, then so be it. BUT, my outfit was wonderful, so that put a smile on my face. I wore a coral colored scoop neck shirt, with my jean jacket and for my skirt, I cut an old black and white polka-dotted dress I wore for a play sophmore year with a black braided belt, black tights, and some tie-up heels from DSW. very pleased. The skirt has wide pleating in the front and was looser towards the bottom, very comfortable. I'm probably going to wear that outfit at some point this weekend when I go home so I will definitely make it a point and to take a picture.

Tomorrow my class got cancelled(so...sad...yeah...) so I get to go home a day early! I am taking the greyhound bus which makes me slightly nervous but mostly excited. I get excited by random things the majority of the time. I love driving and listening to my ipod and just thinking. wooo molly time. This weekend I'm going to see my sister's play; she's doing willy wonka and she is Veruca Salt(if you knew her you'd realize she was exactly type casted-but she's my sister and I love her none the less), I'm going to a cookout at my friend's house, and hopefully at some point getting my hair done and going to the cheesecake factory for my birthday! I can't wait to see my friends and family. They have NO idea how much I miss them all; I never thought it would be this hard to be away from them. But they truly can not be replaced.

I really, really, really need to start keeping up with my designers. I've been slacking so bad and I say this in almost every post which means it's completely true. These next 3 weeks I am going to have to work until I can't see anymore, or function due to lack of sleep. Lovely. 4 tests, 4 finals, 2 weeks, AND finishing applications for transferring, ANDD FAFSA. Lord be with me these next few weeks...

I'd more than love to get this bag from Urban Outfitters for my birthday. I can dream... Oh, and these pictures are just from another adventure Lisa, TJ and I took about 2 weeks ago.
XOXO

twenty!!

Tomorrow, I will officially have been alive for TWENTY YEARS. crazy! Today's one of my best friend's birthdays(and how weird is this: her birthday is the 18th, mine's the 19th of april, her mom and my mom both have feb 17th birthdays!) and i wish I could be with her to celebrate it. We've been together for about 15/20 birthdays thus far. Getting old is zero fun. I was talking to my mom yesterday and i was telling her that I don't think my birthday is going to be that great this year due to me being stuck at college with little money and class on monday. She told me that's what life's about, sacrificing and doing what needs to be done before thinking about yourself sometimes. :( Maybe I don't want to be mature, maybe I want to skip class, drive home, go to high school again and have everyone shower me with "happy birthdays!" and tons of balloons, have my dad make my favorite salmon dinner, and spend time with my family. Sad thoughts. On the other hand, my dad always taught to have a pessimistic attitude about these types of things: "A pessimist is never disappointed." He's right. So if I just tell myself not extraordinarily exciting is going to happen, when something semi-exciting occurs I'll be caught off guard and overjoyed!

I haven't been writing a lot lately! Life has just been, not hectic, but...I think life has just been like "discover me! there's so many paths you can take, and here's what you have to do to get them. you ready?"...if that makes any sense at all. I 100% know i want to go in to fashion now, and I'm more than thankful God has given me that oppoturnity to excel in something I am so passionate about. Last night I went to my first toga party(man, I sound like such a stereotypical college kid right not)! Although it took me about 45 minutes to create a comfortable, somewhat modest toga, it was accomplished. Sorry lauren, I only managed to get one picture the whole night, and all I had available at the time was my Blackberry camera! I'm angry with myself for that one. It was fun to dance and have a crazy night, you need those every once in a while. The point of my story: as soon as I walked in a girl goes "That's not a toga! That looks like something I'd wear out on a normal night!" I know I have that fashion instinct in me, now it's up to me to channel it and take control of my life and not let life take control of me!



Tonight we're going out for my roommate's and my birthday as well! Don't know which restaurant we're going to, any suggestions? That's one of the nice things about Columbus, it's very ecclectic in the sense of food, except healthy organic food. The closest we have to that is Jason's Deli.

I Hope everyone has a wonderful week! And if it's anyone else's birthday who's reading this: HAPPYBIRTHDAY! And Lauren, I love you ridiculous amounts! You're amazing. We're such a lesbian couple.

XOXOX

holy moly

I haven't written anything in over a week. weird. I suppose my life hasn't been worthy of a post lately. In fact, I will sum it up in a short list:
1. boo allergies
2. MYBIRTHDAYISINAWEEK
3. awkward parties are awkward
4. i need to start eating healthier
5. as always, i can't contain my want for a new/revived wardrobe
6. i wish spring/summer didn't suck all motivation out of me

I think that is all for now.

ps. great movie:

xoxox

uh-oh, I've been thinking again

verdict:
It was you. All along it was you. Not me.

Let me explain myself:
You know when you meet someone and that instant attraction is there? For me this is a very rare occurrence because I am SUPER picky, so when the opportunity arises I usually go for it. Anyways, then you start "talking"....and "talking"...and creating more and more small "talk" but you get no where, but you can't give up. You just can't. You feel as if there could be something there, and you continue to think about the person and become in love with the idea of an "us" but as hard as you try to come up with something clever to say that will catch that person's attention and take your relationship to the next level, nothing happens.

Well after 3 years of this back and forth, ongoing confusion there's something wrong with you, not me. I kept thinking it was me who was boring, or me who had nothing to bring to the relationship and me who wasn't good enough(not that you're not good enough-you're just not for me). I need someone who I can laugh with, sing with, cry with, stay up all night with, travel with, go fly a kite with, and experience life with. I can't describe how good it feels to say that. My best friends Lauren and Kristen have helped me realize this and I am so grateful to have such amazing inspiration in my life. This is such a dumb-girl-high-school thing to post, but I felt like maybe other girls had experienced it too and it was worth a post. Every now and then people need a good pep-talk or else we'll get lost in the confusion of life, the hustle and bustle of everyday and forget how truly beautiful, amazing and unique we all are. Don't ever forget that! Everyone is here for a reason. Everything happens for a reason. We all have something beautiful to contribute to the world, so don't let anything smother that. You should be with someone who inspires you to want to grow and bring all your talent alive into the world. Positivity is contagious. If you let your light shine, others will quickly catch on. If you're Christian, think of it like this: God intended for man and woman, man and man, woman and woman, whatever type of relationship you have, He intended it to be 2 people united as one to glorify Him together. Find the one who helps you do this. From stories I've heard, you'll just know. So cliche; I hope it's that easy.


bleh, I hope this isn't disgustingly cheesy to anyone. I get to thinking every once in a while. Sometimes I think I'd like to write a book, but I soon realize I have trouble finishing my homework...how would i finish a 200+ page book?! Now that that's out of my head and into the web I can finish studying for accounting. Test tomorrow! Wish me luck! xoxox

Doo-Nanny!

The Doo-Nanny was awesome! Lots of previous, and current, hippies, music and love! It was fun to let loose and dance and experience life with people who don't take things too seriously.

As you can see, Goodwill kindly provided me with this lovely attire for the day. I really actually like both the shirt and the pants a lot, not together though. I was walking from our car into the festival and some girl said she almost bought that shirt at goodwill and was the last one to try it on before me. The shirt has built in shoulder pads; it was love at first sight. Shoulder pads are so flattering, I think. The pants were fun, I was very happy to say I officially own two pairs of high waisted pants(I bought a black pair too). I can't find any in non-thrift stores!

Sorry the pictures are kind of fuzzy, I don't have a wonderfully talented camera so my Blackberry tried it's hardest to be as professional as possible: The big fire picture is the actual Doo-Nanny(a big bush-type hand built structure) being burnt. It was really cool because it was kind of in the middle of a lake, I really am not blessed with descriptive detailing genes, and once it was lit the cool lake was letting off steam while reflecting the fire. The other picture is the light off of everyone's faces, I thought it looked neat. It was SO hot! I am so glad I went though, everyone was so nice and inviting. Yay hippies!

Alright, now that I have procrastinated every which way possible trying to put off studying for accounting, I think it is time to start this seeing as my test is on Tuesday. I get to go home for Easter, mmmm home. It's so nice going home. Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend and has a beautiful upcoming week! xoxo

Doo doo doo

I don't really have a lot to say in this post, other than to describe the picture above: We went to an indie club called eighty five last night, and no one was there. Needless to say, we left. But I did manage to take a picture of my outfit, sort of, and my friends that went with me, Ashley and Lisa. I took it on my phone, that's why the quality is out the window; not like I have a fancy camera or an ulterior way of photographing...yet. After eighty five we just went back to a friend's dorm and hung out for a while then made a trip to waffle house at oh, 3:00 in the morning. Oh, college. Haha.

Tonight there's a few of my friends playing an acoustic show at a local venue, so I'll probably go to that. Who knows. I've been in such a meh mood. I blame the weather. BUT, my birthday's in less than a month!! It seems like it gets more and more depressing every year though, the celebrations have grown smaller and smaller. I'll only be 20 this year, but you better believe I have big plans once the "teens" and through! Have a great weekend!

did i hear the recession is over?!

It won't let me embed this video, but it's a great review of Paris Fall 2010 RTW fashion week highlights.

Okay, so this weekend, mainly Saturday, wasn't quite what I had intended to result in my "fun weekend". But I definitely am pleased with my thrift store purchases. The one in the middle is from Goodwill and the two on the outsides are from Rag-O-Rama. The one from Goodwill reminds me so much of Zooey Deschanel, I thought she would appreciate me buying it. The collar is super 60's and retro, all that needs adjusting is the hem line, it's a little long. Anyone want to teach me how to sew?




The weather was SO incredibly, beautiful today. It was 70 degrees today, thankfully my 4:30 class was cancelled. Lisa and I went running on the Riverwalk along the Chattahoochee later on and I literally felt like I could run forever. Tomorrow and Thursday are supposed to be 76 degrees. mmmm. I will make every activity an outdoor activity.

This weekend I'm going to the Doo-Nanny, an "outside art and film festival" with food and bonfires and such. If you're in the Alabama-ish area you should definitely try and come! Hope it doesn't rain :/

Here are a few of my favorites from Anna Sui and Diane von Furstenberg's Fall RTW 2010's collections:






Have a lovely week, enjoy the beautiful weather! xoxo

atlantaaaa

Was so great. The weather was PERFECT. Traffic...it's Atlanta...honestly what did I expect? It took us an hour and a half to get from little 5 points to Lenox(about 20ish miles). ridiculous.

Anways, so we got there and parked and such and the first store we went into was Rag-O-Rama. It's a thrift store, somewhat cheap(about $14.50/item) and I found a cute blue floral dress and a more modern black and white dress. I also found some really cute red boots but it's about to be summer and I know my feet would prefer sandals over boots in the ga heat any day so those didn't come home with me. I found some cute grandma looking glasses too that I had to get; I usually am not into the whole glasses-that-one-wears-so-one-will-look-trendy-but-secretly-the-glasses-don't-have-prescriptions, except now it's not so much of a secret because everyone has them. Anyways, I really do enjoy them and yeah yeah I may be jumping on that band wagon, but you can't avoid them all.

So after Rag-O-Rama we went in a few other stores then met up with our friend who lives in Atlanta and went to Ru San's. If you love cheap sushi and ever happen to be in Atlanta, go to Ru San's. Your tummy will thank you 500 times over, and your wallet. I got the spicy salmon maki for $1 and it comes with 3 sushi and I got the chicken fried rice. Their fried rice isn't dripping with oil like most places either, it's very fresh and delicious. mmm. Then we went to Lenox for my friend's agency audition. That went well. To kill some time we took a long stroll through some stores I couldn't even spend money in even if I won the lottery like Ralph Lauren and Calvin Klein. I suppose they're not really that bad, but I still wouldn't spend $85 on a plain white shirt. The Ralph Lauren store was so beautiful, it was set up like a rich polo man players house. Even I didn't particularly get anything out of their spring line, I really did enjoy the store. Urban Outfitters is getting up on that list too. I love their clothes and everything, it's just WAY too expensive. I'm not looking to spend $58 on a tank top, ever, no matter how cute it is. Sephora is always wonderful though, but always forces me to spend way more than I should. I'm super super pale(at one point in time I used white powder for makeup) so it's really hard to find anything that doesn't make me look orange. Instead of looking for some fancy shmancy foundation I just got some face primer/tone corrector(that is white haha) for $30 and it works beautifully.

After Lenox, we went back to Little 5(another hour and a half drive) and did some more shopping ate at the Vortex and headed down to Newnan for our friend's show. We were afraid we were going to miss it but we actually got there just in time! It was really good, they're awesome. If you like screamy, rock, christian music check out Night After Dark. I haven't listened or been to this kind of show in a while and it is so strange to me how pushing each other in a circle is entertaining or "fun" in any way, but anywhooo. We headed back to Columbus after the show and got back around 1:30 that night. It was a good, good day. Made me realize how bad I want to live in Atlanta in my own apartment. It will happen soon enough.

Tonight will be a long night, if all goes according to plan. Like I said, I'm determined to make this a fun weekend, and so far it's delivered. oh yeah and IT'S OFFICIALLY SPRING! How can I not go outside today?!
