Can't make no sense of this.

Today we celebrated Casey's birthday. It was on Monday, and I got her a present (an awesome one, by the way), but we didn't get the chance to hang out. So today, we chilled at her house for a while before walking to Katz 'n' Jammers for lunch. We wandered the Boulevard, got books from the Friends of the Library sale, had cupcakes (hers had a sparkler and everything), and sang all over the place. I would call today awesome, and I would be right.

My cupcake looked like an egg, but it was lemon.

Dress from Torrid, shoes from Payless, bracelets from
Claire's and Casey, sunglasses from Tilly's, thrifted
bag, shoes from Payless.

Also, we found a blue wall and a patch of Astroturf, as you can plainly see. It seemed like a good idea for an OOTD post.

Gotta love the age of stupidity.

I went to the mall with Erika today. We spent a lot (a lot) of time in Sephora, got dinner at Red Robin, and went home. I got a few things (nail polish, mini things from Bath and Body Works), which is weird for me. I didn't spend much, though, so it's all good.
Even if I wore the exact same skirt/tights/boots yesterday. Thug life.

Shirt is thrifted, belt and skirt from Fashion Bug, headband (which you can
hardly see) is from Forever 21, bag is from Ross, tights are from WalMart,
boots are from Payless, sunglasses are from Tilly's.

DIY necklace.

Erika, who serenades me in the car. My hair, who hates me today.

We all sleep inside of this machine.

So it's been a while. Well, it hasn't been too long, but you've missed out on some things!

I spent New Year's Eve sitting on the computer, which wasn't that exciting, but it was nice to just chill and have a solid internet connection. I feel like it's a real luxury.

I didn't do anything on the first, but on the second, I went to the Glendale Galleria with Casey and her dad. We then went to Thousand Trails to visit with people and play pool. We do love pool.

I went to Tucson with my family during the three-day weekend, and that was fun. I forgot how beautiful that desert is. It's not like ours; it's just so green. It's like another world to me.

We didn't do much. We spent a lot of time with my family (the family we were visiting. It was like a reunion). We spent a bit of time at the mall there, which I like a lot. I'm a mall rat, I really am. Oh, and Casey and I wandered the Arizona desert in the rain.

Family portrait! Excuse my horrible hair.

We came back on Monday night. I can never travel enough.

Last night, we went to a show to support a few of the bands we've been promoting. I would post photos, but, alas, I don't have any. I'm a bum.

And that's about it. The semester starts on February 6th, so I have that to look forward to. And by "look forward to", I mean "dread immensely." Dear everything, I hate getting up early.

Oh, and I'm doing Fa(t)shion February, so expect a daily post. Hopefully I won't disappoint.

And now that's about it. I hope you enjoyed your New Year's/the rest of January!

I went running to the road.

So on the 30th, Casey and I went to Castaic to watch a band perform. Locked & Loaded. They're some of the coolest guys ever, not to mention immensely talented. We took some pictures and got an interview, which I was woefully unprepared for. My future interviews will go much more smoothly.

Anyway, it was a nice day and the music was great and the drive was pretty.

On Halloween, I just stayed home and watched The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Casey had gotten sick, so we postponed all happy fun times for the next day, which we did.

Then, a lot of time spent at school, farmer's markets, and various modes of transport.

Last Monday, I ditched math and got back into town at around 1:30. Casey and I wandered around town, finally got our 99-cent pupusas, and went to a city planning meeting (or whatever it was) in support of the Industry Theatre. We're so excited for them to open! A real, fresh music venue for the AV! Plus, it's beautiful.  There's this phenomenal artwork everywhere. There are walls and benches covered in graffiti-style murals, there's a wall with these 3-D pieces composed of, like, chain-link fencing and pipe, and a smallish mural of these fragmented cities. I can't wait to get some pictures.

Since then, it's been school, commuting, and not doing homework.

Tomorrow, I have to go to this tea at my aunt's church, so that promises to be...interesting.

And, the biggest and best news of all: the semester ends next Thursday.

Finally.

I'm excited about the break, if only for the napping opportunities. I fully plan on catching up on as much sleep as is humanly possible!

Oh, I know you understand.

Life is boring. Except it isn't. It just seems like it.

Staying true to myself, I'm partially in adoration with this cute guy I see twice a week. Let's call him Dapper Boy, because that's exactly what he is. I love it. I actually went so far as to ask him out once. Unfortunately, he couldn't go. But Casey and I could.

We went to an ACIDIC show in Hollywood on the seventh. The band rented a limo for us, and we essentially partied with rock stars.

Casey took this. And Mike destroyed Mike's shirt.

These are the two who went with us to, and from, the show. They also drove us home, along with two of their friends, in what can be described as the most dangerous car ride ever.

What else.

Um.

Yesterday, Casey and I were going to go to the Boulevard for 99-cent papusas, but that plan failed spectacularly. They're only 99 cents on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Essentially, every day that we don't go. So instead, we got 99-cent burgers and an order of chili fries, wandered a beauty supply store, looked at makeup in Rite-Aid, and got all kinds of stoked to see that the Rite-Aid had a Thrifty's. We both got ice cream cones (Medieval Madness is the greatest flavour of all time. Pupkin is odd.) and felt tremendously nostalgic.

Thursday through Tuesday will be fairly busy. Thursday is the Farmer's Market, our weekly ritual. Friday will be a relatively chill day; the most exciting thing will be setting my hair in pin curls. Saturday is the Boolvd, a small Halloween festival on the Boulevard where we will be dressing up. Sunday is an out-of-town show, where we will be seeing Locked & Loaded. Monday, I will be turning nineteen, and we will become zombies and go to another show. Tuesday is a mall trip and my birthday dinner.

I am stoked, even if I have to miss dissecting a crayfish to become a zombie.
