Hips Like Cinderella

So*, if you'd read my previous post, you would pretty much think that New Orleans was just about seeing Remedy Drive and they're super hot band members. That certainly was the most exciting part, but I really appreciated how it was religious and they tried to promote being a good person and such. A lot of Christians forget that while they're being Christian it's important to be a good person too.

Ok! I'm totally going to try this whole "adding pictures to my blog" thing. Let's see...

Omg, it's my face! That would be my youth group shirt, and it has a flaming Jesus fish on it.

Ok, ya, so obviously I'm having a hard time with the whole picture thing. This was my totally awesome picture of the lead singer of Remedy Drive! I was amazed that I got a picture that was in focus at their shows... I was bouncing up and down and pretty much freaking out in general.

I will add more pictures later, presumably when I've figured it out better!

Designing clothes is sort of one of my "passions" so to speak. I may not be very good at it but I definitely enjoy it. Since I am in sewing in 4-H (ugh, actually sewing is a drag), I designed a skirt for my project. It is super cute and I've finally finished sewing it! Unfortunately I have absolutely no piece of clothing that really matches it. This is where I dramatically sigh but secretly hope I get to go on a shopping trip sometime.

I have totally been listening to Pixies nonstop. I love the song "Allison" by them, for some reason it just makes me so happy. Also, in other news, my brother Hunter, the one with the baby, started following my blog, mostly because he started his own blog and was all excited to tell me about it.

*Ignore the fact that the S is blue. I can't figure it out either. At least it's blue while I'm typing this.

Slender in a Fat Way

Weird Al will be playing in Wichita July 13. Unfortunately, because I have strict parents and all sorts of other complications, I can't go see him. If you don't know who Weird Al is, you really ought to Google him or look him up on Youtube or something, because he's hilarious.

Now, a list:

1. Don't stab yourself with the seam ripper.

2. Don't stab yourself with the scissors.

3. Try not to stab yourself with anything, really.

4. Do not sew your fingers, hair, or other body parts.

5. If you don't know what kind of seam you're sewing, ask.

6. All damage is probably repare-able. If it isn't, well, you're screwed.

7. If you don't have extra fabric, don't mess up.

That is my all-inclusive, comprehensive list of sewing rules. Just call it "Sewing for Nerds" or something. I'm in 4-H and one of my projects is sewing. I love clothes, which is helpful, and this time around I'm doing my own design for a skirt. I designed not only the concept, but the pattern as well. Fortunately, I love designing. I just hate it when I get all into it and then I realize that I hate sewing.
For some reason, I've still been listening to a lot of country music. Maybe just because it's summer. Anywho, there are these girls called the JaneDear Girls, and they're very good. (Their name is a take-off on the John Deer brand of tractors.)
Another good song is Grey Stables by Iron and Wine.
Don't sneak into swimming pools. Even if it's public property, it's still breaking and entering if the building is locked.
