flashcards

i've combined studying with arts&crafts to make 135 flashcards for my birds midterm next tuesday. it's a lot of work so i hope it pays off with a juicy A+. i had to cut my favorite bird book into pieces in order to make these. besides the stresses of school work, my life is looking pretty perfect lately :) also, i want to learn how to do this lauren conrad updo. it's so pretty.

this is how i'm studying for my ornithology quiz today

reckless abandon

i'm supposed to be academically focused but instead i'm constantly daydreaming about kissing and hand holding. charlotte, your outfit was a success :) i had to switch the jacket to a black cardigan and the boots to grey chucks but i felt good and it seems to have been a hit. i'll have to handle outfit #2 on my own for today's encounter :)

homage to america

time for another music video post like kenza and iain do. this one contains my favorite songs aboot america.

first up is my love, my obsession, my muse, mr. david bowie. this song reminds me of roller skates and childhood summers and milkshakes on warm evenings. which is really all i want at the moment. this video gets even better when he dances.



next is another favorite, tom petty. this is by far my favorite song he's done and always reminds me of fast times at ridgemont high (which is a good thing). the beginning of this song always picks me up when i'm feeling down. also reminds me of summer time and a life free of worry and responsibility.


American Girl (Live Midnight Special 1978) - Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers - Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers

keeping with the title theme, last year's estelle and kanye team-up. i realize the song got a little played out but it really reminds me of my trip to thailand last summer and brings nothing but good feelings and incredible memories.


American Boy [Feat. Kanye West] - Estelle

lastly, a long time favorite, murphy's law. this band embodied young america in the 80's. my pick for this post was America Rules but i could only find a video for three songs together. this doesn't bother me because they are all great and all about america. this band has a lot to do with the person i've turned into ironically enough.

love, love, love

happy valentine's day lovers :) last night was intellectually romantic. a glimmer of hope perhaps.

dress forms

i want a dress form just for personal use but all the ones i have found are like $200+ the only option i've seen that has made any sense is the duct tape homemade dress form but that's so budget. do any of you fashion makers know of good dress form deals?

farm sitting

life is continuing on and i think i'm dealing well. my heart feels heavier in my chest and i think about her every second but i don't think i show it. thank goodness for oreo and for billie's baby, opal. i've been spending a lot of time with the two of them. i'm living at the farm for three weeks at the moment. i'm one week in (and what a week it's been). i didn't like it at first. the nights are quiet and lonely and spooky, but i'm getting used to it. i'm supposed to be out here writing my thesis but i haven't done a thing. i applied for a job yesterday but that's all i've accomplished. maybe monday :(

it's been 72 hours since she left. the only reason i believe it is because i stroked her face and there was no life inside. i miss her.

rest in peace

this morning i lost one of the best teachers i've ever had. i'm going to miss her more than i can describe.
