Tissue paper terror

I always feel like spending money when I'm upset, so I went shopping today. I bought a skirt, some notebooks, post-its, moisturizer and index tabs.... tomorrow I'm going out again for more office supplies and perhaps to Anthropologie, because I'm still a bit sad. I really, really, really love office supplies.

Last night I just got in my car and cried all the way home. I don't want to go to school, I just want to stay home baking macarons and making paper lanterns.

I hate liars and people who ignore conflicts.

I've come to a realization, but I have no one to tell it to. It's making me crazy.

HOLY CRAP

I have SO MUCH food to take to New York. Luke will get off in the city and I will still be on the bus eating.

#104 Girls with Bangs

"If you see a white woman and you are trying to figure out whether she is liked or just merely tolerated by white people, the best thing you can do is get a quick look at her haircut. It is a known fact that white people love women who wear their hair with bangs that hang straight down.

A number of very popular white women have worn this hairstyle including Joni Mitchell, Jane Birkin, Jenny Lewis and every girl ever photographed by Vice Magazine or the Cobrasnake. (Note: it is a good idea to familiarize yourself with these two things as they are both beloved by cool white people. Follow up note: these same things are hated by cooler white people).

Many people associate this type of haircut with children and people looking for the most efficient way to get hair out of their eyes. But for white people, this simple haircut makes a bold declaration by saying that the wearer is artistic, deep, and has probably dated a guy in a band you like. Of course, as with many things loved by white people, simple often means expensive and these haircuts usually cost upwards of $100.

It is essential for you to know this haircut is more than a mere fashion statement– it is an important cultural marking. Throughout the world, many cultures feature ceremonies to announce that a girl has become a woman. For white people, the haircut-with-bangs is an important symbol that a female has completed her transformation from a nerdy girl to a cool woman. In fact, if you went to high school with a nerdy white girl who moved to a big city, there is a good chance she will show up to your high school reunion with this haircut.

When you are introduced to a group of white people, it’s a good idea to befriend the girl with the bangs. She’s probably the most popular."

I find this to be mostly factual. Except for the part about being popular. And the part about being artistic.

I had a dream that Jolie, Justin, Luke, Ashton and I went to Mexico. We ended up having to solve a murder/perform an exorcism. Because someone sunk our blue convertible into the swamp. It involved dead ostriches in porta-potties, red Parmesan cheese, glowing spoons and fertility voodoo dolls. I woke up before we solved it though, ugh! One guy ate the cheese and died, so it wasn't him... I think once we found the voodoo dolls, we knew it wasn't the boy who shot the priest and were honing in on the bar owner.

I love dreams, they are the best.

There are many things I need to do before Luke and I go on our Grand Adventure™

1. Assemble a variety of New York appropriate outfits
2. Wash each outfit
3. Attempt to fit everything into two carry-on bags.
4. Once step 3 fails, convince Luke to let me use one of his two allotted bags.
5. Buy tiny shampoo bottles
6. Fill my Hello Kitty sandwich bags with bus snacks
7. Sharpen all my pencils
8. Charge everything electronic and remember to bring all their cords
9. Remind self to update blog so Jolie knows what we are doing at all times
10. Alter my Holga camera to take 35mm film, or buy the crazy film it requires
11. Put mo' money in my checking account. Also, try to remember PIN number...

Crap, I know there's more than that...

Horoscope don't fail me now

The past two times I've gone to Goodwill I've found the CUTEST shirts among the trash. Within the first couple things I lay my hands on. I must have some kind of gift.

I also bought some cute vintage dishes and found a pair of awesome Fire King mugs that I was just looking at this morning on Flickr/ebay - coincidence? If you said yes, you are wrong. It's because I'm awesome.

One is red and one is blue. I really do have old lady taste (owls)... but I just love mismatched dishes.

Now I just need my own apartment to put them in.
