I Know You Want to Look at My Feet

So, I was talking to my dad about some of the fashion blogs I read, and why I like them. I honestly have no idea why he was with me while I was reading fashion blogs, but anywho, we were talking, and he told me that I should do a fashion blog. I played it all cool, like, Oh yeah, pshh I guess I've never really thought about it except like all the time and I wish I could do that do you think I'd be able to I mean yeah that's a neat idea. But seriously. When your DAD says you should make a fashion blog, it makes you think.



Not that I would. I live in a rural Midwest town. Anything fashion-wise gets to my town about two years late. My dad, being the funny person that he is, suggested I call it "Fashion Isolation." It's fitting. But still, I dunno. I might edge towards fashion-y with nerdy tidbits and boy rantings at normal intervals.



Anywho, picture time! Just because. :)



Sorry for the funny curled-up toes. I wasn't really prepared for when the butterfly opened it's wings... So my toes were in this strange position.

These are the shoes that I love and that my mother hates. Honestly, they're a bit tacky, but still. Who doesn't love red patent-leather five inch heels with a platform? Oh, right, my mother. That's who.


You know I actually have a list of things I want to do this summer? I'm just that cool. Hopefully I get around to doing it! Everyone always has this idealized version of the summer, eating pizza with friends, cruising around late at night for no reason, sleeping in, going to the pool, getting tan, doing awesomely adventuresome things, that sort of stuff. You insist to your best friend that "This will be the best summer, I swear!" and you vow to make plans and do stuff and just cause trouble in general. You smile and have a pinky promise that you'll be super cool and epic this summer and meet a boy and blah blah blah. But basically, if you're me, you spend a lot of time doing stuff for your parents, working on geology related projects (I have stories for later), reading books, and all around not having opportunities to hang out because your friends are working or on vacation, or you're busy or out of town.


This is what summer looks like to me. :) I'm still hoping for bonfires and picnics with my friends, and summer camps crushing on boys.

He's Kind of Fruity

Ok, good. I just saved you from listening to (or reading, whatever) a long spiel about why I have misgivings about blogging. But since I was going to post that rant on my blog, I figured it wasn't worth it and I just spared you a bunch of whining. :)

Amazingly, crying babies don't upset me. I mean, they upset me in the way that I'm sad because something is wrong and they're crying, but the crying itself doesn't annoy me. I think the crying doesn't get to me simply because I'm cold hearted and unfeeling, but I may be wrong. Anyways, a friend was babysitting a, what else, baby, and she was freaking out because he wouldn't stop crying. I came over and calmed the baby, somehow destroying the home owner's refrigerator lock in the process. I didn't even know they made locks for refrigerators!

School is starting soon. I hate to say it, but I can't deny the truth. I'm disappointed, though... It feels like the summer has just begun, and I regret not doing a lot of things. When the summer starts, I'm always thinking that I'll read some important books, work out, be creative, become a better person, and maybe make my face pretty, but it doesn't happen. I have, however, blown a lot of bubbles, used up some of my sidewalk chalk, drawn trippy mushrooms, had picnics on my roof-porch, gone to New Orleans, and listened to a lot of music.

Also, since school is starting, I'm going to be subjected to my usual self-deprecating thoughts in full force yet again, and insecurity will become a way of life. If this sounds depressing, it's not, really. I find it kind of funny, actually.

Even though hardly anyone reads this (I got another follower, whoo!), I'm sure you are all wondering about the title. Too bad. I'll leave you with a couple of ending thoughts:

The new English teacher better be fat and funny like the last one.
Why do guys insist on wearing short shorts?
He had the best snake bites...
I hate to compare music, but The Cure is better than the Smiths.
It was really freaking hot today.
I'm watching my language.
I want to watch the Boondock Saints again.

Mario Kart: Rainbow Road

I'm the kind of person who wants to write, but I'm like, "Write? Who, me? I don't have the time!" Well, guess what? I have the time now! Do you think I've written anything? Nope! You'll notice (if there's anybody reading, that is), that I also haven't written in my blog for a while. This is because.... It's summer! Woohoo!
Unfortunately, I have to go through driver's ed this summer. Boring. And it starts tomorrow.
I love summer. I even love that bored feeling you get because you don't have anything to do. In fact, I rarely get that bored feeling anyways. Sadly, I'm not one of those girls you see at the pool tanning, or at the lake. You see, I can't tan, and as a nerd girl, I tend to be reading BBC online or listening to bands I've never heard of. It's not that I can't go outside and sit in the sun. Oh, no, that isn't it at all. I am literally the whitest person in my town (it's a small town, so it's not that hard to figure out). I go outside, I burn, and then I'm white again.
I don't know of anyone who doesn't love Mario Kart. Rainbow Road is my favorite track. They had that on the old Nintendo 64 version, too, and it was my favorite then. It doesn't matter that I almost always fall off at least nine times, I still love it.
I need coffee.

Dancing on the Roof

So... My spring break is almost over. I didn't do anything for St. Patrick's day, at least not really, but I did wear green. But I was having fun not being at school! I don't really want to go back. Not that I have a choice. I still have today and tomorrow though!
Ok, so it was really warm here two days ago. It snowed yesterday. Ugh. I just want it to warm up and have winter go away! I am so looking forward to long summer days and just sitting outside (with lots of sunscreen, because I am so white that I'm practically luminescent) not worrying about school.
Have you noticed for every genre of music, there are about a billion subgenres?
If you don't mind a little (or a lot) of profanity, listen to Tenacious D. They're hilarious! Specifically, listen to "Classico." It made me laugh, a lot. Also, listen to Heart-Shaped Box by Nirvana.
Also, dancing on roofs is fun. It's even more fun if you count how many cars wave at you and your friends.
