Sewing Sasquatch

Dresses to be recreated by my sewing hands:



Songs to be obsessed over:
  • Billionaire by Travie McCoy
I'm just... so excited. For some reason, sleep has been evading me during the night time hours but i decided to be productive last night/morning and made a list of my itinerary for today.

Here's the gist, Jeeves:
  • At 9am(when the stores open), go to JoAnn fabrics. There's a craaaazy fabric sale. I want a few yards of a wild pattern. Either flowers or poka dots. I'm currently undecided. And then i'll buy a solid color to match.
  • From there it is off to ze library to pick up three different sewing books. The little Black Dress sounds promising. It's all about how certain body types should wear certain dresses and how to figure out your own perfect tailored cute lil black dress and yay. so enthused.
  • Then off to make some dinero by sewing old jeans at Plato's Closet.
I still have a half hour til I can do any but YAYAY. productivity here i come.
Spock out. Wish me luck.

It's Almost Father's Day so...


HAPPY ALMOST DAY DEDICATED TO YOUR AWESOME, DAD!!
I love you!!

My dad and mom are the sole reasons I'm capable of study abroad in a few months. They don't mention it but I know they're killing themselves to make the money to allow me to go but the truly incredible thing about them is their selflessness, especially my dad. He works as a tuckpointer (if you don't know, look it up. it's a very physically demanding job) Monday-Saturday. Then he drives two hours home in a non-air conditioned car after working in the hot summer sun all day. He never complains. He never says a word. But I want him to know, I truly appreciate it.

LOVE YOU!!
<3

This is the end of my first weekend of summer.
A nice lil list of what I have done:
  • Finished altering an old white homecoming dress I was never planning on wearing again but now I shall get some use out of it :]
  • Went to Laura's cookout (lots of veggietable cutting prep and making dip. my vegetarian pals were pleased heh)
  • Drove home, switched out cars and then went to Linds'
  • We went to hang out w/ her babealic friend Tom and some of his friends.
Overall, this weekend was verrry successful. Hopefully more fun to come. definitely this weekend coming up.

Plans:
  • Themed bday party of fran's friend: A named people. I'm going as Audrey Hepburn. should be a fun time.

Everybody's Hands Go Up




Songs to be obsessed over:
  • All I do is win by DJ Khaled
I went out w/ Gma for her 20th birthday. She's so silly.
"If I could throw a boudler at him for you, I would."
I love her.


Yesterday was my last final of Sophomore year then I went home, got ready and went out to din with Fran.

I need to start working out and tonight Sarah and I are hanging out. woooo.

Tell me where it all went wrong

Songs to be obsessed over:
  • If looks could kill by Camera Obscura
I like the idea of listing songs I'm currently into then when i look back at this particular time in my life, these songs which will most likely be mentally associated with it will be able to be played by an older version of myself and enjoy heh.

On a completely unrelated note, it is the beginning of the end. I'm happysad about it. Tomorrow is my last final of my sophomore year of college. It has certainly been a crazy ride. It's weird/very surreal to wrap my head around the fact I will not be a student on this campus for another 7 months. Though going abroad will surely be a lovely experience, I'm a little sad. I know, as it always goes, my friendships will be altered by my absence. But it's a way of life and I can't worry about what has yet to come. Come what may, I do suppose.

OH! Speaking of study abroad, I need to turn in my Glimpse application. Balls. Must do that.

Off to fb and wait for ze Lukemeister to finish his Psych paper and then frolic back to ze dorms.

Love and Rain and Spock out.

Cooler than me.






New songs to be obsessed over:
  • Cooler than me by Mike Posner (but not the one with all the techno beats. no thanks)
  • California Girls by Katy Perry
I've been a crazy crazy busy cretin from ze sea. I'm moving out of my dorm and trying to finish papers and it's just pandemonium. But it's almost summer so silver lining.

I went to a house party yesterday. I didn't feel like drinking but I wanted to get babealicious for the party. The photoing before we left for the party was prolly the most fun. I left before everyone got super trashed, meaning I didn't get to see everyone hooking up, vomiting and being silly. Oh well ha. I'll hear stories from friends I'm sure.

I should be doing my Af Am Women's Writers paper... boo. Off to do that, I guess.

Hugs, kisses and spock out.
