I remember we were walking to strawberry swing...

ooo...the weekend has been lovely.
I slept over last night at the house of my vintage friend, Adel. We looked at Erte fashion plates and balanced apples on our heads. later we went to an art exhibit that was aqua-themed, where we critiqued a photograph of a water fountain and ate chocolate covered strawberries. today i finally iced the heart-shaped cookies so now they're pink and sparkly and happy. ^_^

♥♥happy happy valentine's day! xoxo

misty morning wrap me in your embrace

Misty morning

wrap me in your embrace

It seems so long sing I've seen his face

The sunlight sifts through the hazy veil

warming my face, lighting my heart

But the clouds close the sun -

leave the world pale

My body is cold and my hope falls apart

Through the mist I see him walking

I try to follow but I keep on stumbling

He fades away

gone

I wrote this poem in study hall. And also yesterday in school my friend penned that adorable star on my pinky. Last night my Scottish friend spent the night and we watched Some Like It Hot (one of the funniest movies ever!) and ate animal crackers.

I was looking through my old copy of Shakespeare plays and to my delight and surprise I discovered rose petals pressed between the pages of Merchant of Venice and Macbeth. I had pressed them last summer; must have forgot about them up till now.

♥♥Happy Day Before Valentine's Day! ♥♥

i can tell it's gonna be a good day...

Today was lovely weather. I adore the outdoor smell when it's wettish on the ground. went for a walk and enjoyed the breeze and the birds singing "pretty pretty day in February!"

I love wearing tights and shorts. I'm so glad the weather was nice today so I could get away with and outfit like this and not get wierd looks like "it's too cold...wear pants!!" haha, the stray sock just had to get in the picture...

peace.

kitty-diddy, fuzzy pictures, & dirt-cheapness

we are going to have a four day weekend because of President's Day...I can't wait for it! I have to make this brief tho, cuz i still have literature homework (a two-page essay on a selected scene from Pride and Prejudice)...



I got these betsey johnson tights for two crazy bucks at TJMaxx; it's two pairs: one fishnets and one hot pink. I'm not really into fishnets so I'll probably just rip 'em up and use them for some artsy project. The orange-y reddish ipod case I got for seventy cents. I already have a homemade case, but hey, for seventy cents...?!

heheh...kitty-diddy is fascinated by the wristband thing on my camera. look how big her eyes are as she mischievously reaches for it..

argh. the snow is all melted, but there's rumored weather reports that it'll come back. as much as i despise the cold depressingness of winter, i;m wishing it'll snow again so my sis and I can do that shoot in our backyard... we'll see.

peace.

busy busy but fun

Friday a bunch of friends and me went to a ski resort, but I didn't ski. I stayed back in the lodge with a friend who wasn't feeling well. We had tons of fun though, playing cards, Apples to Apples, Mad Gab, talking, exploring the lodge, and just hanging out.

Today my sis, and one of my LFs (little friends) went walking downtown.

my friend got me this vintage pin for Christmas. the eyes roll around..so cute!
yummy strawberry cupcake from a cute little bakery.

woohoo! spoon rings are the best!

i'm drinking a london fog tea from starbucks. interesting quote on the cup:

The Way I See It #284: You can't lead the people, if you don't love the people. You can't save the people, if you don't serve the people. -- Cornel West, University professor, Princeton University.

peace ♥

stripety socks

i got these homemade socks from my friend for my birthday last month. aren't they beauteeful? this is my second time wearing them. another friend gave me the dress/shirt thing, which has awesome enormous sleeves.

My sister and I are planning a photoshoot involving the christmas lights that are still draped over the bushes in our front yard, my old ballet costumes (maybe), and snow.

I cannot wait for Valentine's day! ♥♥♥♥ I've been thinking lately about real love and how much love and giving are intertwined. with a new (at least better)perspective on selflessness, I've been finding the desire to give to people to express my love, whether it be little pretty things that i made, a hug, a note, or just the time they want to talk with me. Love is not thinking "now what can I get out of this? what does this profit me?" It's "what can I do for this person?"

Happy Hump Day!!! hump days are wednesdays; the middle of the week. once you get over the hump day, it's easy coasting down to the weekend. :)

I'm afraid my blog is a day behind. If anyone knows how to fix it, please let me know...

la dee dah

'Tis Tuesday. I wish people other than me still said "tis." Much more fun that "it's." Well, today was school. homework. having my cat follow me around. going to a friend's house to watch an old Julie Andrews movie. drawing in my sketchbook. sharing an apple chai from starbucks with my sis. wearing a banana on my head. hopefully tomorrow will bring exciting-er adventures!
adios.

why does the top of this post say it's monday? cuz it's not...hmm...
