let's just take a moment to smell some daisies

Why are you stupid.

Fuck off.

Unimpressed.

My room is messy. I think it adds character to my bedroom. It's realistic too. The clutter in my room represents who I am: a person with a cluttered, jumbled mind who hoards things and collects stuff, and is obsessed with the prettiness of tiny pieces of paper she's found on the ground. I'm currently working on writing a letter to my penpal Katia. We bonded over blogging and Rookie and decided to partake in the ancient pass time of writing and sending mail to friends and acquaintances, i.e. each other.

UGH. These photos are semi-pixelated which is annoying. I can't tell if my camera is just really cruddy, or if it's because I cropped/zoomed them. I feel like it's both. 

I'm going to be a flower garden for Halloween! I'm pumped to the bone. 

I'm reading Hamlet by Chuck Norris in English. Wow just kidding it's written by William Shakespeare.

Let's just hope you knew that.

I went to my first Environmental Club meeting today! It was my first time going because it was the first time I remembered to go. It was really fun and everyone was super nice! We are doing some environmental related project right now, but I spaced out when they were explaining what it was so I don't really know what's going on.

Hello Hello Hello!!
How's life everyone?
Lately, my life has consisted of school, friends, tumblr, and food.

I kind of love school. I just love being around everyone and making friends and having so many people to talk to all the time. I can't imagine just staying home everyday, I'd get so bored! Even on the weekends, I'm out 2/3 days usually. Then again though, I do love being by myself sometime's, and just making cool stuff and listening to music and watching TV.

I haven't really done a blog post in a really long time. It's because recently I've been taking most of my pictures on my film camera and I haven't had the chance to develop my film yet! I can't decide if I should get a disk, prints, or both. Both costs like, $15 and I don't know if I want to spend that much. I could just scan all the prints, but that would take a while. I think I'll just do that though, because I love having tangible memories.

Some photos of what I wore to school a few days ago. I realize now it would have looked awesome with my Bikini Kill pleather jacket. If you notice my feet/shoes, you will see some incredible black Doc Marten mary janes. You probably recognize them from other posts. I got them for my birthday in May and I kind of love them more than anything in the entire world. I think I'll wear them until the day I die.

My style has been evolving really weirdly. I'm obsessed with environmental-looking outfits, as in lot's of browns and rusts and reds and neutral colors, as well as flowy shirts and woven fabrics and brown beads and shells and wintery coats for warmth, as well as vintage and quirkiness and stuff. What I'm currently doing at school is a perfect representation of my style, since I'm in the Environmental Club and doing costumes for the school play. Wahoo, life!

I'm also getting really interested in photography and film. I think I'm going to make a short film soon, just for the heck of it. I don't think it'll be scripted or anything, but mainly just me creepily watching people and documenting what they do, and/or filming my friends, and/or actually writing a script of SOME sort, and just doing something funky and fun!! I'll probably include/do it with my amazing friend Maya who is kind of my other half!

For a while/earlier this year, I didn't really care about dressing really crazy and stuff, I was just too lazy, but now I'm really focused on dressing fun and just loving what I wear and feeling all unique!

so whateva cya layta.

soul train

Don't mind me I'm just busy livin' the life of someone on a soul train lookin' for home.

OMG that was so lyrical.

I got this hat at Goodwill! I felt like roarin' in honor of the tigers. That's cause I'm a fighter runnin' through the streets.

my friend and I went to a music festival and ate some sausages courtesy of her chef dad.

me and my chums on a hot summers day. I think frizzy hair is so pretty.

my friend is a photography prodigy.

Don't be sad, just kiss the air, kiss the sky, get high on life. 

Soak in nature and devour the trees. 

Let the breeze of life encompass you.

Maybe I'll use this incredible syntax to write a song that my future band can play! I'm the tambourine player. PUMPED.

Keynotes about my plans for this day and age (as in this month):
-buy a tambourine: paint it, add some ribbons, become a pro
-start a band
-dye part of my hair purple (as in the back-underside part)
-tie dye some high waisted shorts
-stay out all night soaking up the moonlight
-become a good skateboarder
-get more dresses and high waisted shorts

****OMG. And I'm going to join the Environmental Club at my school. I feel like embracing my inner nature gal. As well as becoming a vegetarian. SHIT. I was totally vegetarian today! This is a major accomplishment I feel proud!! I don't want to eat meat, because although I love it to death, I don't want to support an industry that raises animals for slaughter. Grass fed beef is obviously less cruel, but it's the same principal. If you do choose to eat meat, make sure you eat grass fed beef/poultry, as well as fish that hasn't been farmed! Animals are people too!

animals are people too!

I've noticed I've been getting fatter lately. This isn't to say that I'm upset about it/think I'm fat, it just means, "yo, i've been getting fatter lately" hence, "yo, i'm gaining weight."

I honestly don't give a darn. This is a girl who likes to eat and will eat now and for eternity! As long as I'm healthy and happy life is fine.

Also, I'm trying to clean up mah profanity via the blog, because I applied for that Teen Vogue blog thing, and I had all the right requirements, other than I wrote words such as SHIT FUCK BITCH HOEBAG BUTT FACE TWAT DICK HEAD and stuff like that, which I suppose could POTENTIALLY go against their rule of "no profanity in blogs." Then again, if they don't want me for what my blog is then I don't want them either! So FUCK IT. I'll swear if I want to via virtual pixels that represent letters! I ain't changin' fer anyone.

Been getting intensely obsessed with environmental politics lately, which is to say just the whole preserving of the environment/stop cutting down trees/stop polluting(air, oceans, all that great stuff)/which all ties into my obsession with animal rights/just taking care of the environment! It's literally something I really, really believe in. I'm trying to stop using shampoo/conditioner/acne creams/all that crap that ends up going down the drain and into our oceans! It's a small thing, but I could seriously just put some mayo/lemon/olive oil/avocado/vinegar in my hair and get an even better shampoo. Of course, I'd have to figure out a way to get rid of the food smell, so I'd probably buy some organic, eco-friendly conditioner and stuff. I've also been super obsessed with really natural looks. Minimal makeup, earthy clothing vibes, natural hair (hence no straightening or curling) and wearing my awesome vest that says SAVE THE ANIMALS on the back! made it mahself cuz im the shit.

I guess overall I'm just trying to reduce my output of toxic waste. Which sounds like I'm talking about my poop, but no worries, I'm not, because poop can actually be a REALLY good fertilizer (har har.... failed attempt at being funny.)

Anyway, yeah. I think a lot of times, us humans, being annoying, put ourselves and our needs, no matter how trivial or materialistic, before that of the environment/nature/animals. I swear on my LIFE, that at least one product in your shower tests on animals, meaning that your Pantene shampoo that you love so dearly because it just makes your hair look fucking AWESOME (it doesn't. The food I listed above could do even better. Suck dat) tested that shampoo on animals, meaning when it was yet to be safe, they'd put it on animals, and in animals eyes. This could cause the animals to experience painful blistering and burns, and BLINDNESS. I know it's hard, and we all slip up a shitload and buy those animal tested products, but fear not! For I found a list of products that tests on animals! It doesn't list all the products, but it lists a lot! So hopefully my persuasive, inspiring typing skills will have encouraged you enough to carry this list around with you when you go buy important stuff like nail polish and eye shadow and shaving cream so that you don't support those annoying fucking companies that torture animals to make money! Because THERE ARE ALTERNATIVES. Like synthetic skins and stuff that doesn't hurt anyone, but still produces safe products! List To Stop Buying Shit That Harms And Hurts And Tortures Animals So We Can Have "Pretty" Hair And Smell Like Bubble Bath (To Smell Like Bubble Bath Try Taking a Bath.) Unfortunately this list is very long, which makes me sad. Feel free to call all these companies and give 'em a piece of your minds! Hence, anger!

*By the way, if you have a pet, don't feed them IAMs pet food. IAMs tests on animals.

Here is the speech I wrote and read in front of half the school+parents and faculty. It was really great spreading the word about fur farms. I felt empowered.

Sorry it's kinda blurry and gray. I had to photography it because last time I used my dad's scanner I temporarily broke his computer. Hopefully it's still legible!
