Nothing new has really happened. I'm doing the one thing that I've always done and fear the most- waiting for things to happen. Taking control and making change is hard, but so very necessary. For now though, I'll relax because soon the change will come and it will be overwhelming.

I've tried to connect with people who are starting to drift away, and held a dinner for my friends last night. It was really fun, they were loud and energetic and just what I needed them to be. I made a great salad, a friend brought cold soup, and I made chocolate cake for dessert. Everything was gluten free for a friend (well almost everything, I just put goats cheese on her salad but breaded the rest of ours with panko crumbs.) which was different because you had to think around the normalized way of usually eating. We also dressed up, so I had an excuse to wear some of the clothes that I usually don't get a chance to wear. In a small way it was like I did take charge for once, I planned and baked almost everything for the evening and it was a great way to bring the few of us that could come together. The new and the old before we all head off in various places with different life goals in mind.

I'll leave off with some pictures from my 'insparation' folder on my computer, and a (reassembled) quote from a poem I wrote last year.







I'm not really sure where most of the images originated from, most are editorials that I've downloaded to my computer and where they came from is a secret of cyber space.

I fear for the future because I don't know what will happen
but the past sometimes happens again
and all of the moments that are now memories, remembered or forgotten
were sometimes better off not repeating
and fortune cookies don't always tell the truth

Love to all of you,
because every single person has beauty in them, and we don't see it all the time.

Flowers and Videogames

So the other post ago I promised to put up some pictures of my new dress. I really like how cute it looks, but just as a lesson learned: if a dress is lined, make sure the fabric is breathable for humid and boiling hot days. Next time I might just stick with my denim shorts and lightest possible billowy tank top routine.




After a few hours out in the stickness that is outside, we decided to cool off in my friend's basement. Also decided to create some pretty freakin' awesome Miis. This one was going to be Lady Gaga, but then we got side tracked.



I hope everyone is enjoying the summer and it's scary to think one more month before I move away! Hugs to everyone!

Once again, I'm just a complete mess and I'm sorry. It doesn't feel like time is really passing, but it is and at such a speed that I find it hard to even realize what is real and not. There isn't much that I've been doing that is interesting and maybe that is the problem. I need to push my own boundaries and find joy in that instead of what I've been doing. I need to find the easel I have and go out and paint, or take out my beaten and wonderfully used sketch book and finish it. Just something. I went shopping with my friend, and hers the other day, and bought this adorably cute dress that I have real pictures of myself in! WOO maybe a second post of what I wear? I'll try to post it when the pictures are on my computer, but I'm going to try my best to not do too much on this one as the anti-virus has expired and I am going to buy a new one for school. :)
Sorry for no visuals, but my computer kept freezing! Next time, I promise!

Long Time

Wow! I'm sorry for the lack of me updating. Life has been crazy, then so boring that all I want to do is sleep all day.

So here is something as my forgiveness. Just look at that hair and forget all worries.

I haven't found an image I love this much is such a long time. Its just a mix of the lighting, clothes, expression...everything that is working for it.

Peeling Paint

The frizzy hair is something I can relate to, but I doubt I can make it look this glamorous.

Just listen to the Rhythm of ma heart

I've been addicted to listening to The Darkness lately, but normally don't watch the videos. I somehow ended up watching parts of it and noticed something that reminded me of a hot trend right now- pink hair.



Oh yeah, and one piece outfits. (Although his is a one piece jumpsuit, rather than a romper...)

Honestly, this is, has been, and will continue to be my favorite website. Everything I've made so far is delicious, and this is the only reason why I am excited in the kitchen. Cupcakes and cookies. MingMakesCupcakes

Witchcraft

I love this video from Wildfox, its mysterious, fun and really beautiful all at the same time. The potion bottles were a brilliant idea, and large crimped hair can never go wrong.
