I am Fabulous.. And I intend to be even more fabulous.
I have much more work to do in order to update my fabulous-ness.
I have a few ideas/tips on how to do so.

1. Call everyone Darling.
2. I will need more hot pink in my life
3. sip champagne from a straw
4. never show nerves.
5. Don't be jealous.It only confirms your superiority.
6. Confidence goes a long way in the fabulous business.(duh?)
7. Never ever ever give up or hide your beliefs and how you feel for anyone.ever.

I can't wait.

Lately with all my thoughts of moving, I have been looking up quotes to keep and read for encouragement. Here are a few of the shorter quotes I really like.

"If we are growing, we always are going to be out of our comfort zone."
-John Maxwell

"Experience: the most brutal of teachers. But you learn, my God do you learn."
-CS Lewis

"In my dream, the angel shrugged and said, If we fail this time, it will be a failure of imagination and then she placed the world gently in the palm of my hand."
-Brian Andreas.

Sometimes we get scared and feel hopeless like things will never work out. But If you just let go and go for it, You will always always learn and gain something from the experience.

She had friends but never the kind who she could really talk to about everything.
I think that’s all she really wants. Sometimes she see’s herself in a place that isn’t like this at all.
And she isn’t ever really there. She never spends more than a minute. Only to look for the other sock and sometimes not even that.

Gahh!!

Here is a preview of Rodarte's line.



So so so pretty.

I have this theory

That if when something isn't going your way.. either keep it to yourself, or get over it.
The worst thing you can do is talk about it, share it, and try to get others to feel the same way. ewwww I am so sick of negativity.

so drunken hipsters are only fun to look at for a short period of time..
they do however, take some slick photos.

I'm craving chocolate covered strawberry's... YUM!
Also craving all sorts of fruit and all sorts of chocolate :)

Ohh my goodness

Sometimes

Life is hard sometimes
Sometimes I can't stop thinking
Sometimes I only dwell on the bad
Sometimes I get so anxious that I cry
Sometimes I pray
Sometimes I curse
Sometime I don't like to be touched
Sometimes all I want is to disappear in someones arms
Sometimes I forget about it
Sometimes I remember and wish I could forget

As I mended his sleeves he whispered he loved me
It took me by surprise and I pricked my finger.
The blood dripped slowly and quietly
as if to not interrupt
I turned to look at him and saw his eyes for the first time
They told me to love him back.
And I will.

Today I miss...

My old bedroom..

what I'd like to be wearing

Good lord this gal is cute.

oh my

so I just stumbled upon a quote that contradicts what I always say about wants and wishes..
"There is nothing like a dream to create the future"

what a lovely quote. Perhaps it doesn't contradict..I guess it just means you really have actually make it happen.. not just dream?

Yesssir.

Spring a ling.
Spring is so cool!
It lifts the whole world out of depression.
Spring is often the overlooked season. It's no ones favorite.
But today, I'm letting spring know.. you are my favorite.

Lost lost lost

I've moved out-I've been going to school and making a living for myself,yet I still feel no sense of motivation. I would loove to be able to work my ass off for something..but it has to be something I like. I need to find that, because in the meantime I'm just feelin blah and sort of lost.

A good poem indeed.

'The time has come,' the Walrus said,
'To talk of many things:
Of shoes -- and ships -- and sealing wax --
Of cabbages -- and kings --
And why the sea is boiling hot --
And whether pigs have wings.'

"Do stuff that people don't understand because those are the only good things"
-Andy Warhol

knees to please.

Today I recognize my knees :)
I love to rest my chin on my knees
The bees knees
I love when someone rests their hand on my knee
I kiss my knees-it's true. and fun.
I enjoy hugging my knees.. they probably enjoy it too.

This makes me want to dance.

During a conversation the other day with a friend, the topic came up that no one seems to be happy with where they are/what they are doing now. I can't speak for everyone, but I think this may be true. I know what all of my friends want in the future, what they are looking forward to..but I have never had a conversation about what we are please about in the moment. It's not often that I can sit down and talk about what I am feeling and appreciating now. When those talks DO happen, they tend to make my day. I should really recognize and appreciate the "now" more often.

what I'd like to be wearing

.. I was starting to worry that I may never like color again.

How do you say no to California?

maybe you can't and maybe I don't want to.
Yeah, maybe I'll go.

wantwantwant

I am so sick of wanting and needing and wishing and thinking.
I would say I wish I could shut off my brain, but that would be yet another wish.
But oh for some peace and quiet up there!
Can you live without wishes? And wants or needs??
I know that wants drive you.. but sometimes they overwhelm.
