eight line poem

jacket: lucky, shirt: thrift, jeans: gap (from like a long time ago) pins: sex pistols, ramones, and obama!

(featuring my dumb calculus textbook)

i'm slowly getting into the groove of SENIOR YEAR! I have fairly competent teachers this year so I think I'll learn a lot, and that's good. I love learning but not when people suck. With this outfit I was kind of channeling Lindsay Weir/80's british punk rock vibes and I think I like it. 

Today I started my first PSEO class (which is when I get to go take a class at the university for high school AND college credit) and it was so awesome. People in college are so much more mature and the class is way more in-depth and interesting than high school. So I'm pretty happy!!!

DIY book earringz

I made a random little shrine of stuff that I have recently acquired, including my Hunky Dory bowie record (ONE OF MY FAVES), 2 really good books (The Murder of Roger Ackroyd and the Mysterious Benedict Society), a random envelope thing, my pencil case that looks like an ice cream sandwich, a bowl peaches made for me, my nice new backpack and a lil framed photo of BOB DYLAN!!!! ♥♥

Labor day weekend was fabulous, by the way. My friend mags and I made pins together, and then we drove over to peaches' house and we all went to target for hair dye and twizzlers and came to my house to dye peaches' hair and it looks SO GOOD. we ate pizza and watched shrek 2 (ha ha) and it was a swell time. Peaches slept over and then we went on a picnic with our friend rosie and it was adorable!!!!! I love hangin with friends. then my parents had a dinner party and so I hid in my room and listened to classical music which is actually one of the most underrated things IN THE WORLD. just pretend like you're drinking tea in London. it's perfect. maybe I'm biased because I'm a classical violinist, but whatever.

here's some music I've been digging lately:

I NEED A BETTER CAMERA OK

~smashing pumpkins tee: urban outfitters, used skirt~ wheeeeeee

I had a really bad morning. I desperately wanted to take a shower but for some reason I'm last priority when it comes to the shower schedule and the WHOLE FAMILY is for some reason allowed to take one before me. This always happens and it sounds dumb but it is extremely frustrating. Now I have to wait for like an hour so the hot water can restore itself.
ANYWAY, I really like this skirt. It's very retro. And the smashing pumpkins rule. I am also wearing my Obama pin today as well (and along with not one but two david bowie pins, I just realized):

THE PIN FEATURES OBAMA'S DOG BO WHO IS ADORABLE AND I LOVE DOGS.

Anyways, yeah. 

So later today I think I will post a more detailed 'about me' post just to let any ~potential followers~ know a bit more about who I am and what I'm into at the moment. I've realized that things I post make a lot of sense to me, but out of context I might sound like a crazy person. basically, y'all need the full lowdown. I just said y'all.

 IT'S TOO HOT TO WEAR MORE CLOTHES THAN THIS. I got the dress from Columbia and I made the flower crown. I was pretty inspired by combining black and colors and I love just being able to throw on this plain black comfy cool dress and then wear crazy shoes and a flower crown with it:

the fabulous tavi, of course

tumblr (or tumblah, as they say in britain, i suppose)

it's one of those long, hot, humid days of summer where all you can do is lay around and listen to bob dylan and think poetic thoughts about change and life and death and stuff. I guess I've come to realize that life is a certain amount of time that you get and you have to do something with it because really it could end at any time. wow that sounded depressing. I've also realized that change is inevitable and that it can sometimes be a good thing. For example, after listening to The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars 10 billion times, I guess listening to Highway 61 Revisited for a while couldn't hurt. 

a n y w a y,

CHECK OUT MY DANSKOS! they're iridescent and shiny and wooden and comfortable and wonderful. they put me well over 6 feet tall and I love it so much.

 

also check out the pins that I purchased at rewind the other day! 

 

~bob dylan, two david bowies, lou reed, the beatles, and the sex pistols~

Summer is so nice because I'll have days like today where I don't really do anything and I can just pursue whatever my heart desires and just have fun and be lazy and listen to records and take pictures and go to the lake and stuff. I never want summer to end.

Beginnings

In a year from now I'll be completely done with high school.
And while that's a very comforting thought (I freaking hate school, oh my god, let me die) it's also quite scary because I still have no idea what I'm going to do with my life at all. And that's worrisome because I've also realized that I don't know myself very well, either. I usually know what I like and what I don't like. But who am I? What should I do with my life? I've got this awesome opportunity to do something and change the world and I'm sick of just going to school, coming home, complaining, and repeating.

So I guess what I'm going to try to do with this blog is put my life down in visuals and in writing and try to make something of this crazy mish-mash that is my own teen girlhood. I want to learn more about who I am, the effects that the world has on me, and basically figure out who I am as I move from my high school years into *intense orchestral music* COLLEGE.

In a way this blog will get me to get off my butt and go out and do interesting stuff that I can document so that I don't look super lame.

I will leave you with a picture of the incredible David Bowie because I'm going through a phase and also because I happen to be in love with him.
