Bothersome.

A lot of things have been bothering me, and most of it is semi-fashion related (YAY!). But, I hope I don't sound like I'm PMS-ing because gosh, wouldn't that be embarassing?

a) NO ARCTIC MONKEYS ALBUM IN BOOKSTORE! I like to buy the CDs in the bookstore, so I have it on hand. If I know I'll never find it, I'll buy it online. But, I was very upset on August 25th to find no "Humbug." Boo-hoo.

b) One of the things I hate about bloggers, fashion bloggers specifically, now-a-days is the desperation to be famous. And I've seen this a lot. They'll start dressing to what they think is "avant-garde" (note the quotation marks). I know a lot of bloggers have recieved from fame (case in point, Tavi and Jane), but nobody can be like them. If we all were famous, that'd be, well, dumb. I hope I don't sound as though I want an equal class society or something! It's just that you should be yourself and not cater to others in order to become famous.

c) Last year, this girl, who says like more than necessary, in my school found Paramore to be her ultimate love and decided to add bird's nests to the sides of her hair to look "scene." Figure A describes it.


Figure A: Where the Blackbird lived before she took her broken wings and learned to fly
Now, it seems as though she found Cory Kennedy and tries to be like her.

Figure B: The shirt is a men's medium, obviously, can't you seriously tell?
I don't mean to poke fun. But really, don't follow what other people do. Cory Kennedy is not a fashion pariah. Hayley Williams most certainly doesn't one either. Follow the beat of your own drum. Be a Ringo Starr. Or Phil Collins. Or something...

I really hope I don't sound like a bitch. I'm not. I have a lot on my mind, and why not write it on here?

I also hope you enjoy my obviously protegic paint skills.

And thanks for all the comments! Sorry it took a while to get another post in!

Simple Question

If you could see on thing on this blog, what would it be?

I'm feeling like a criminal...

I actually got no gifts today except for some fudge from my friend. My mum said she wants me to go with her tomorrow to get my gift...wonder what it is.

But, whatever. I'm now sixteen. I'm happy. I'm listening to Downtown Train. Yet again, I'm happy.

Otherwise, I have no great big birthday post. Sorry kids.

I'll post something better this weekend. Like what I got. And other stuff...pinky promise.

EDIT (3/22/09):

Okay, here's what I got:

- A cell phone (!!! it's been 3 years! But, it isn't here yet. I'll see what happens)

- Diana F+ Camera (Yes, 2-3 years as well...I got the 35 mm back because I have no darkroom which would make it impossible to develop 120 film)

- Bob Dylan's Blonde on Blonde

- 30,000 Years of Art

To twit or not to twit?

So, I was thinking of getting a Twitter to get to know the bloggers on here better. Is it a good idea? I have no clue.

And also...

JUNE 16th - JUNE 18th

Yes, I'm going to New York! We're doing a lot of the tourist-y things (bleh, but hey, it's part of a choir trip; what would you expect?), but there will definitely be a ton of free time for shopping regular stores, not outlet malls. I'm so excited!

Hair obsession

If you saw my hair ever, which you will hopefully soon, maybe, who knows, you will know that I have huge curly hair. Well, no afro, but it's Erin Wasson on volumizing steroids.

But, those who read Drop Knowledge Not Bombs (ah-hem-BRIT-ah-hem) know I'm so obsessive over haircuts. And I'm thinking of maybe getting one in a month or so or whatever, but I always seek advice from the fashionable crew first. Yes, that means you.




So, what about this bang? It's similar to what my hair is...?

Okay, POINTLESS POST. Respond if you'd like.

Biz-say

I think teachers are so uncaring of their dear students. They won't even let them get off without piling them all with crap before 2008 ends.

Yes, I am writing my paper at the last minute of forensic sculpting. So what?

But, I probably won't be able to post properly until maybe even Christmas sadly. I have tests all next week...yes, it may be a two day week, but still, look to the first sentance. AND musical auditions are on Saturday, and I may have to be there at 7! IN THE MORNING. Call this world pathetic.

But, just bidding you all well until I return.

M.O.D. = me?

So, I saw this on Le Fashion a while back, and I couldn't help but thinking how closely this relates to my style.

Considering that I've secretly been pining a PS1 bag for a while...

So, appreciate my style. *sticks out tongue and waves hands beside face*

PS: I realize that my blog's been quite a bore. It's just over 2 weeks 'til Christmas...bear with me...

New Favorite Selby

So, I've been posting just of stuff I love/have fallen in love with (yes, Jim Sturgess will be on here sometime soon), and you must be getting sick of it by this point. But I have no camera. Boo me.

It's 3 weeks and 1 day until Christmas. Be patient!

But, here's the point of my post. I found this amazing Selby of an actress named Alessandra Torresani. Why does this Selby stand out from others? Well, the Hello Kitty memorabilia might play a part in my love of the it.

I only can wish...

I never really wanted to have children.

Then, I saw this picture.

How adorable.

Art History Much?

This really is a pointless post. I have nothing to write concerning fashion. Nothing's going on in my world; I'm sick, I'm studying, and I'm writing several pointless papers, including one on forensic sculpting. It's pretty gross once you look at it in depth.

But, I thought I would like to point out the new Art History game on freerice.com. If you didn't know, I love Art History, and I hope to study it in college. But, point saying is that your knowledge of art (and even fashion references) improves because of this game. I now know the difference between a painting by Camille Pissarro and Berthe Morisot, two painters which I got confused with often.

Remember when Klimt was suddenly all the rage in the fashion world about a year ago? Pretty much all his paintings are on there.

And it's Thanksgiving for God's sake. Give to those who don't really have food right now. And yes, feel guilty that you're pigging away on stuffing leftovers.

(Just kidding.)

So, I have nothing to say. Hopefully, I fulfill your somewhat need for a post.

Hope you have a nice rest of the weekend!

home sweet home

I'm too tired and sick (possible bronchitus?) to make another post.

Definitely tomorrow.

And thanks to those who actually cared to comment on my going away post.

On The Road Again

So, I'm heading to visit family in New York.

I won't be home until Friday, so I'll get back to all your comments then.

But, thank you all so much for the support! I didn't know what type of feedback I would recieve, and I am so glad it was so positive.

hmmm...

Funny how people change, isn't it?

(Also, OBAMA WON! I'm not going to make an entire post on it though. I'm far too lazy)
