hello human, you're alive

Hey dudes. I really wish I posted more photos on this blog, but sometimes I'm just way too lazy and tired, and I just want to rant about my life to other teenz who get my pain.

Like today. I gave an impromptu class rep speech. It was a pretty big fail. I was super nervous. I said hello about three times, said that the student lounge (where me and my fellow 10th graders hang) needed to get a permanent air freshener, that there should be a gender switch day for spirit day, and that it would be cool to have a second microwave. Then I awkwardly was like, "yeah, um, thanks" and went and sat down.

And guess what. I WON!
Just kidding.

But it's okay. I wasn't expecting to win, and I didn't deserve to win either. There were kids who worked way harder on their speeches, and I wasn't even planning on running (I decided not to when I found out we had to make a video in addition to a speech). They didn't take my name off the ballad so everyone was like, "Eva, make a speech, just do it!" So guess what. I JUST DID IT. It turned out alright though. My friend Josh voted for me, and I voted for myself, and hopefully I got a few more votes on top of that. Maintaining the 'fuck you' mindset of Enid has helped me to overcome this cringeworthy experience. I must say, I can't fathom how on EARTH I will ever move on from this traumatic experience...

Here are some cool visual oddities to sooth your tortured soul.

Shoulda been an album cover for ze Beatles.

Roses are red. Violets give you luck. Now go shit your face cuz I don't give a fuck.

riot grrrl vibes part 1

I love Riot Grrrl. Like, I seriously LOVE Riot Grrrl. I started getting into feminism this year/my first year of high school/freshman year, and I've learned that feminism in general is just really confusing. You have those hardcore feminists who get totally peeved off when the male gender holds doors for them, and then I start to think "wait, if I'm a feminist, does that mean have to get peeved when the male gender holds doors for me?!"(btw note to self, the answer is no) and then you have those feminists who claim to be feminists but don't really seem to be feminists, and I start to wonder "can I still be a feminist if I just sit there and do nothing when males/women/humans in general put down/objectify/diminish/trivialize my girlitude?" and then you have the feminists who know where/what they stand for and I'm just like "DAMN, I'd love to be you." and then you have the confused feminist, which is me! So I guess this series of posts in basically going to help me explore and define my inner feminist a little bit more. So yeah. I have about 6 billion Riot Grrrl inspired images via this tumblr that I love and consume daily, so I've decided to break up my Riot Grrrl vibes into different vibe posts/themes and stuff! I'm very excited. I think I'm going to get a Riot Grrrl tattoo at some point in my life, because tattoos are cool, and clearly, I love riot grrrl.


























(does anyone know how to get these god damn pictures the same width? without having to deal with the html crap? just to somehow get the images to ALWAYS have the same width?)
