A couple swing dancing, some nerds playing with light sabers. Artists drawing artists, musical competitions. I was feeling a bit glum today, and I thought a walk in the park would suit my moody perfectly, little did I know that it would remind me how beautifully strange this city is, and slap me across the face and say "hey! you're in NYC!!!!" what a perfectly perfect place to be. Ya know, I think this city is slowly stealing my Midwestern heart. And I couldn't be more charmed. ♥

(beach house - walk in the park)--wish the light saber one was easier to see, guess the force wasn't strong enough.
I've slowly been getting out of my funk, its taking longer than usual. I think it slightly has to do with cabin fever. NEEDS TO GET OUTS DA HAUUS, i might go exploring today. 'Tis tuesday and the MCA has its free day today...we'll see, i'm not dressed for the museum. Do you still "get dressed" to go places these days? I do, maybe its my french and/or southern upbringing, but some places you don't go looking like a hot mess, and a mess of hotness I am today. So i think I'll make an effort to go to the Art Institute on Thursday...
Music has definitely been my vice this week. Music and films. I rarely take time for myself to do absolutely nothing. I always feel like I'm working, whether it be personal projects or at work work. I rarely have time to paint my nails. So I took time to watch Whip It again. I really like that movie. It made me cry. Movies about mother daughter relationships always make me cry because as much as your mom makes you outraged, you'd do anything for her.
Not all has been "bad" or "sad" or "meh" I did get new shoes. I really needed new shoes, desperately. The steve madden combat boots i have had are dying dying.
They have wholes in the bottom, and etc. They aren't talking but something happened to the bottom where it makes my arch of my right foot numb. IDK...so new shoes it is!
Luckily I found these bastards at UO for $20, not bad for real suede, they are one of my favorite colours (oatmeal) and have that tomboyish look. They did have them in magenta which the old me would have liked but this new me was like "too loud" and I want something to go with all my coordinates. I cannot wait to wear them with my knee highs scrunched down (sorta like this look in VIVI 3/2011)
I need to suede prep them before I really wear them, so in the meantime I've been wearing another pair of torn boots that don't at least hurt my feet. I hope these new ones will last until the big snow fall of 2012. I want some really nice leather boots, but I don't have enough money to drop for it right now, so these are a great shoe for the meantime, and they are kinda springy as well. I think so.... (my mom would disagree.....)
ps. i believe its time of a new mixtape. full of beach house cause beach house is perfect escaping music.
Am I the only one who felt that 2k10 left more to be desired, I think for me I nothing REALLY happened...or maybe it did, I mean I.....
was in two major motion pictures by Ron Howard & Steven Sodeberg. I mean they are small but I always dreamed to be in movies and it seems like my start is just beginning...
had a lead role in a chicago play...
went to see some bands I love live...
went to mexico...
got my own place...
Okay, okay, so maybe 2k10 was better than I thought, I guess when you take time to look back and count your blessings, you seem less cynical, less ungrateful. and theres nothing that annoys me more than bratty people. Sure we all have our bad days, & even if your problems may seem small compared to others, they are still important. but i know that some of us have had some wonderful experiences this year, even if it was just falling in love with the 11th doctor....(haha)
SPEAKING OF WHICH (no not the doctor, tho who watched that tear jerkin episode for christmas?? and yes Jenny, is did look like JJ directed it LAWLS) I did get some nice stuff from my family & friends this year I didnt really ask for much but, I am always happy that people go out of there way for me...
I got that velvet dress Ive been crying for LOL (its pictured backwards I just realized!!!) A free ppl-esque floral dress and sweater, sequin skirt, two new shorts, and velvet leggings. PLUS I GOT some make up, bath body works haul, those russian nesting doll measuring cups (woot!),lots of candy because my mom wants to make me FAT, a reflector because my mom worrys, water botter & thermol, & THAT HELLO GEEKS PLANNER!!!
I didnt even say i wanted this stuff and some how my family found out (hope they dont read my blog, lol, jk i mean what will the find out really?)
THANKS FOR EVERYTHING EVERYONE, I've been really excited for this upcoming concert tho yeasayer for new years eve!!! ACK! Ive planned out my outfit mostly, cant wait!!!
