Traveling By Choo-Choo Train.

Hey all. It's meeeeee! This weekend has been crazy with fun, fun, fun. I went shopping with one of my buddies twice...once on Friday and the other on Saturday. We were trying to find the perfect outfit for our friend's surprise b-day party...only to end up having to return to exchange some pants that could not fit. THESE HIPS DO NOT LIE!

About seven or eight of us went to dinner, and the waitress overcharged me...THREE TIMES! So I have to complain to her supervisor this week :). But, I was sooo stoked because I wanted my friend to be really surprised when we all returned to her room. And she was. We brought her 20th birthday in the right way, with decorations and great cake...mmmm. Afterwards, we got dressed and headed everywhere to find a party on my campus...Don't forget this, remember when I told you earlier that my campus lacks livelihood when it comes to the party scene...well we walked through this snow stuff to a party that was not even that great. We went back to the beginning, and stumbled upon a really great party that both my friends dj'ed...woot!

I will for sure not be going out next weekend...as it will be a personal one for me. I've just been crazy busy with school. AGHHHH! Midterms are coming soon, btw.

Nonetheless, I'm happy with the way things turned out...just overall, I'm happy :).

"Baby, I finally know what I'm going after,

I'm learning to let in all the laughter,

holy moly,

you're so funny,

you crack me up,

you crack me uuuuupppp,

lookout for dreams that keep returning"

Summer Sunrise.

Ello mates. It's a beautiful Sunday morning...well this whole weekend has been dripped with sunrays; I can't complain. I feel so relaxed even if I got an art project + a paper in which are both due Tuesday. I don't know if I should feel this relaxed lol. But on another note, Friday was the bomb. Blu + Exile came to my school and rocked the crowd at my school's "club," called the Sco. I ended up getting a free CD from the guy named Sene, who opened the show for Blu ...He and Blu are both on this cd (A Day Late & A Dollar Short)... it was mad dope. The crowds were just doing a wave of liveness. After that, was the afterparty...boy oh boy....

"it's fun gettin' into trouble"

(that is all, i have to say about that)

But nahhhh, the party was crackin' too, everyone had fun dancing with each other at a rather much-needed...party at my school...which the parties here, happen to go kerplunk. (sticks tongue out, and thumbs down motion).

There were a few complications with townees at a party that I went to last night and the after-party on Friday. I don't understand how these people are able to come to these parties and people not notice that they're there. Last night, I tried to intercept an altercation...so that it would NOT happen. It was mainly a bunch of guys loud-mouthing...and here I am a little old 5"4 girl telling guys who were like 6 feet and strong as ever...to leave the problems at home. I just hate when you're having a great time and people want to ruin it by the violence. It's really unnecessary. Especially, when you see that everyone else is having a great time and going with the flow of the party...then some buzzkillington comes along and ruins it.

Yesterday evening, I went shopping in Crocker Park...which is sooooo freakin' nice. It's like walking through a little village when you're looking at the brick-paved road. The sidewalks were like some crystalline rock cement stuff...so every step you took, you'd see the sidewalk shining. It definitely made me feel like a star for the night. OOOOHHH yeaaahhh. But I went to a few stores, h+m, urban outfitters, and american eagle outfitters (i so hate that store btw...but my friends wanted to go there). It was really nice...it's great to get out of the bubble that my campus seems to create...socially. And, I just had an all around great time hanging with three of my friends...so hakunamatata yo!

but nonetheless. i'm out.

Modern Escape.

Hey loves. I just uploaded a graphic that I designed with photoshop. I was thinking of all of the whimsical things that every little girl's favorite disney movie "alice in wonderland" brings...I tried to bring my vision of what I thought this movie would be like if it were to meet fashion. I really love the trees that I placed in the background, which is from a simple brush that I have. In the background there are several lighting effects I placed to just peek through. If there is something that I really enjoy about fantastical movies...there's always that one scene where the morning arises and the sun is sparkling and the main character is looking for something to get into. I really dig the font that I used, just a basic Arial font and the block font is a font called "Impact Label." It's hella dope to me. I think that I will adjust the font area and bring it down a little more, because it just throws the center piece of the image off. But, IDK. tell me what you think about it. I personally love the colors, and the placement of things...But, I wouldn't mind any critique.

Wild. Wild. West.

Today's been interesting. I went to my religion + glaciology class. It sucks when you're sick and you have to miss a day of class to come back and find out that you have a test coming up (when you don't look at the syllabus regularly). Now, I'm not afraid of the test itself...it's just that I want to be really prepared. So...I will be doing some major studying tonight.


In the meantime, I will be working on my art installation. I have to create the doll out of this floral material that I have. It's really cool. And, I have to make four plaster molds for a mini-project my sculpture professor assigned our class. I'm excited about it, because I found four really quirky molds to use. I shall upload pics of both projects soon so you guys can see what it is that I am doing :).


But, yeah...I'm liking my blog and its simplicity. I couldn't think of any great idea for a layout. So, I decided to give that a rest. I don't know if it is the name of my blog that I feel uninspired by or I just haven't exposed myself to new things to feel inspired by. It's a process though...And, I'm trying to figure everything out.


HOWEEEEVER...I've been thinking lately, about stuff that I shouldn't think about. Things that I am confused on, people that I am confused about...situations that have occured in the past with certain people. Like, I find myself playing out why certain things happened with past friendships or relationships..trying to compare them and make some sense out of them. As I do feel stronger from these events, it still feels weird that things turned out the way that they did. I wonder why some people reflect on past relationships even when it was obvious that they weren't good for them. I mean sure, I've thought about the "great" times, but it seems like there were more cons to them than anything. So, I've been asking myself is it the person that I miss or the what-if scenarios that keeps playing over my head. I think it's mos def the "what-if" scenario. Just thinking what-if I took initiative and quit things earlier. But then, I don't think that I would have learned the same things that I learned when I did quit things at that specific time.


And it's crazy...because the video playlist is just a rough-draft of all of the emotions that I went through while after that post-quit process :). Ultimately, I feel like I took control and set myself free from something that I just couldn't handle and wasn't happy with. But, I assume that its normal to feel these post-quit feelings haha. I'm just really happy to understand what it is that I deserve and how to deal with a relationship with someone that I actually like, and figuring out if they are the right person for me...And, that's something that I am enjoying as I talk to my new friend ;) haha. But, YOOOO. that's for another story.
