TheTale of My Tat

My tattoo behind my left ear.


My monroe. Not a tat, but I love it:D

Mary, Nancy and I had made plans awhile back to all get tattoos together over winter break. We had agreed on getting tattoos in matching places because we each had a different idea of what we wanted. So that was settled. Until winter break actually came. Apparently no one saved up any money besides me... so I wasn't going to do the tattoo anymore because it was supposed to be a special thing between me and my two best friends. Luck was on our side though when Mary got her paycheck and therefore had the funds to pull through with the plan. Nancy, on the other hand, still didn't have the money so Mary and I said we'd split the cost of her tattoo so she could still get it with us. Lady luck struck again though when a lady paid Nancy to watch her birds for a week. So now we all could afford our special tats. So last week we looked up a few tattoo shops in the AV and were planning on going down to get them done sometime this week. Well, over the weekend, Nancy visited the swap meet, found some items she just could NOT pass up, and spent all her tattoo money:( So I'm super Bummed by now. This was so special to me. I really do keep to my word when I say I'm going to do something and I usually expect everyone else to keep to theirs too. I was super stoked for this tattoo, you know. So Nancy breaks the news to me but says me and Mary can still get ours if we wanted. Well I wanted. I wanted BAD. I said when she gets the money again we'll both go with her to get it. That way it's still like we did it together. The three of us. BFFs yo. Anyway, Mary and I got ours done today. We go on over to Nancy's afterward and show her. She doesn't seem to excited. I kinda just wanted her to say they looked good or cool or something. But nothing. I don't know. Is it ugly? Is she mad at me for getting it done without her? She told me that she didn't even want it behind her ear anymore(that's where we planned on getting all of our tats). It kinda makes me upset that she said that. On top of that her little sister says that its ugly to get it behind the ear. To be honest, it really hurt when they said that. This actually meant a lot more to me than just getting tattoos. It was like a marker of our friendship, which I cherish with my heart. And all Nancy was going to get was a small music note. Which, in fact, is quite cute. I've seen a few pics of people with music notes tatted behind their ear and it's freakin' cute. Not to mention that she has a new hair cut that would totally flaunt it. It just seemed like the ideal situation. I'm sorry for the long rant. I'm just....bummed I guess.

Obsessions

Lately I've been obsessed with these shoes. I really want a pair of crazy heels like these, but sadly, I can't afford not one single pair:(



My second obsession: Sequins. I'll admit, I'm addicted to anything flashy and glitzy, but now that there's so much more, I just can't help myself!

I tried to curl it...

I was pleased with my hair.... for one day. Now I don't really like it at all because it looks horrid unless it's straightened. I didn't want a cut that I would be forced to straighten everyday because I've become increasingly lazy with my hair since I started college. There just isn't time to make it look all cute anymore. And since I can't leave my hair in it's natural texture, I thought I'd try curling it. It kind of worked if you look at the webcam pics (which by the way, I'm sorry are so shitty) but I believe the webcam actually makes my hair look better than it actually is. I tried to take a picture with my actual camera and the only one that came out is this one. I'm seriously considering cutting my own hair to make it work better with my natural texture. Oh yah, my bangs are hopeless, but usually those are the least of my worries. If need be I'll just cut them really short to match the right side and move on. They usually grow faster than the rest of my hair anyway. Haha sorry for the rant. It's just been bugging me.

Post Secret

The only good thing that came from my room mate was introducing me to post secret. It truly is amazing some of the things people hide from everyone else, and even themselves. My R.A. set up our own little post secret wall in our hall and we each took a square of paper and anonymously wrote a secret we wanted to get off our chests. It's so interesting to read them all and try and figure out whose is whose. The thing is, you can never pinpoint exactly which one belongs to anyone. And that's why I think post secret works so well. Each secret could belong to a multitude of people, which in effect, remains a secret, even though its out in the open now. Oh the wonders of anonymity. Go write to post secret. Relieve some stress or just go read some of other people's secrets.

New Hair and Fuschia Lips

So today Mary, Nancy, her sister Daisy and I took a trip to the salon. Nancy and I got our hair cut. We went in there knowing for sure what she was going to get and not knowing at all how I would cut mine. Mine was completely random and to be honest, I didn't even care what the lady did with my hair. I just wanted all the dead stuff cut off and my bangs back. I gave her full reins of my hair. If it turned out ugly I could fix it myself. I'm quite handy with scissors. Anyway she put my hair into a bunch of ponytails and like cut it in the ponytails. It was so cool. Haha. She layered it that way and then she textured my whole head including my bangs. I love texture:D She textured the right side of my bangs really thin and there were a few longer strands of hair there so when I got home I just got cut them off and I like how the right side is shorter now. I dig the asymmetrical look. All in all, I'm very satisfied with my new hair. Who new going in the salon today I'd come out with short hair again haha:D Nancy's was more planned out and she knew exactly what she wanted. She did a drastic change and chopped off ALL her long hair and got a pixie. She has pics of it on her blog at: www.thoughtsthoughtskoo.blogspot.com

Christmas

I had planned to dress better for Christmas this year but that plan fell through as soon as I felt how cold, windy and rainy it was today. Living in the desert isn't exactly the best environment to be around when you're wearing 4 in stilettos. I'd much prefer the city, where there is no mud, but I'll have to suffice. Today was a day for wide leg trousers, a black blouse with gray sweater vest over it and a brown plaid jacket, along with my cream fingerless convertible gloves/mittens, a gold locket with charms necklace, and my black croc pumps. I stayed nice and warm thank you very much. I wasn't about to freeze my tabooty off just to look cute on Christmas. And besides, I found it very appropriate.

Thanksgiving.

I know this is a bit belated but I totally forgot to post a blog about Thanksgiving. I went home, yay! Saw my besties Mary and Nancy. On Thanksgiving night we saw Twilight together, and I must say, Robert Pattinson is one freakin' hot vampire. Like too hot. I want him hahaha ok here's what we wore.. well me and Nancy. Mary didn't dress up. She doesn't share our love for fashion. Not YET.:D hehe






Also I forgot to write about my beloved Mary's 18th birthday. We went downtown to a Fumari's, a Hookah bar, and we were going to go to a club called Static Lounge in downtown San Diego, but we ended up just going to In n Out afterward and chilling in my dorm room because her cousin who was supposed to tell us how to get there couldn't remember for the life of her where it was. That was dumb, but I had a great time with my bestie, Mary. And hell, the Hookah was good haha never thought I'd say that:D

Comm Speeches

They're pretty much the only reason why I dress up in college. Every other time I'm either too tired or too lazy to put something cute on. But for those rare occasions where I have to give a speech, I get off my lazy ass and get put something shnazzy on. Ok so they're not so much shnazzy as kind of boring and plain, but I enjoy it nonetheless. Here's what I wore for my last speech. Those trousers kept riding up. What poop!! haha
