ABOUT ME.

Hey guys. I'm Coco and I'm 17 years old, and I'm going to be a senior in high school this fall. I live in the lovely city of Minneapolis with my mom, dad, and older brother. My most striking features I suppose would be my height (5'11") and my gross, tangly curly annoying red hair.
This is me:

 I've played classical violin since I was 5 but I really enjoy rock & roll a lot more (I can attempt to play some guitar but really I only know like 7 chords; but I also play ukulele and a bit of piano as well.) I mainly love to listen to old music from the 60s, 70s and 80s. I quite enjoy folk music, punk rock and everything in between, really.

 here is a playlist of just SOME of the songs that I consider to be some of my absolute favorites: 

Just What I Needed - the Cars

She's Not There - the Zombies

Starman - David Bowie

Half A Person - the Smiths

Kodachrome - Paul Simon

Lady, You Shot Me - Har Mar Superstar

Satellite of Love - Lou Reed

She's Got You - Patsy Cline

Rudie Can't Fail - the Clash

The Lovecats - the Cure

Sink To the Bottom - Fountains of Wayne

Autumn to May - Peter, Paul and Mary

I also really like to pretend like I know stuff about fashion and whatnot. Clothes are really fun for me but often I just like to dress up in jeans and a t-shirt and forget about it.

I would describe myself as someone who just wants to relax and be very calm and stress-free. I don't like big ordeals or drama. I try not to be antisocial and hate everyone but it's truly hard sometimes (I'm mostly kidding, I usually love people unless they're jerks). 

THAT'S BASICALLY IT. you basically now know everything about me!!!!!!!!!!!

see u l8er~

~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.

Lately I've been listening to a lot of ~classic beatles~ tunez and I remember why everyone loves them so much, including myself. They're just timeless, fun rock and roll songs about love and happiness. Things just seem like they were simpler back then in the 60s and 70s. But that's probably not true and I'm just romanticizing different eras because I happen to like that kind of music better than today's music.
In other news, I've been thinking a lot about happiness and sadness and how you can be in a certain situation where you're completely pleased with how everything in your life is going but then you think about other people and how there's so much sadness and devastation in their lives. We all kind of live in little bubbles that separate us from anything beyond our world of communication. I keep forgetting how everyone else's lives are just as real as mine and equally as important and how when I pass someone on the street, they're probably going through problems similar or worse than my own. I really feel fortunate and grateful to have such a cushy and fun life and to be able to pursue my own interests and have all these awesome opportunities. I'm truly trying hard to put myself in other peoples' shoes and recognize that the world does not revolve around me and sometimes I can't get everything I want and yes, life is hard sometimes.

Today was so fun. I slept over at my best friend Peaches' house last night and we had icees and pizza and took a walk at 11:30 pm and it was hot out and we wore cute outfits and it was a really fun time.

aren't we cute?

Then today me and my older brother went to target and bought a bunch of junk food and watched Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire and 'twas great! The rare times when we actually get along are actually so fun and he's awesome. even if we have completely different music tastes.

The heat is finally breaking and tomorrow should be just about perfect to take a walk around the lake.

Have some beatles-spiration: 

(I'm in love with them)
