Why do I smile at people who I'd much rather kick in the eye

So I've been doing a bit in my moleskine recently, most of them are collages, but still. You guys like collages, right? 
 
 











 
And I also tried embroidery in art class (keep in mind it is my first attempt):


 
And I bought some new books and records (I'm super sorry they're all flipped):


Alice Munro books from a used bookstore-they were $2 each eeee!

The Smiths, David Bowie, Best Coast, Patti Smith yay they were all really cheap :)
 
 
AND.....
 
I just finished writing a short story for my ELA class, would you guys be interested in reading it? It's 7 or so pages long, so I'll post it in segments. Please tell me whether or not you would be interested, I'm planning on maybe pursuing a writing career, so give me your feedback. THANKS!

One Afternoon I Knew I Could Love You

Top-Gift  skirt-American Apparel  tights-Joe  shoes-thrifted



I got this shirt as a gift, and it has awesome pictures on it. This one is bunnies having a tea party.
 



Unicorns and balloons
 



Dolphins, puppies and a rainbow
 



Kittens on a swing.
 





Jacket & Skirt are both thrifted, top is Cat Power, tights are Joe. I wore my docs.

Skirt

Bowie pin, burger and person dancing.

I have been making pins a lot recently and I got a badge maker from my cousin. Top: Cat Power, Ice Cream, sparkly heart. Center: I didn't make this one, it was a gift, Arcade Fire, Ramones. Bottom: Lightning bolt, Riot Grrl, rose.

And I just thought I'd let you know I just finished this very excellent book by Miranda July. They are short stories, and I love her writing style so much. It's just so truthful and easy to read. She never uses quotation marks, either which is kind of cool. I think all of these stories were beautiful. Usually I read short stories and end up not liking a few, but I loved all of her stories! I would recommend it! I have also put it on my book list.

Does the moon play only silver when it strums the galaxy

I love this shirt SO much. IT HAS A NEBULA ON IT, PEOPLE.


tights



My new Frida poster!
 So last week my parents went to Toronto, and my mom picked up a few things at Urban Outfitters for me :) because we don't have one in Winnipeg. They also went to the art gallery, and got me a Frida poster! It is so awesome! I love her flowers and outfit.

I decided to become more ~organized~ (hahahaahahahhahahahaha-me, organized???) So I have my barrettes in my Smiths jar.

And pins in a box


And lipsticks and stuff in a box.

And sunglasses and bows in a box.




Me getting bored while studying for exams (blergh)



My cat lookin' a little evil.
 I just finished reading Joan Didion's book, Slouching Towards Bethlehem. It is so good and I would recommend it to everyone. It has essays that she wrote in the 60s. She is such an amazing writer. I'm also looking for some new books to read, so what are some books you like that you think I would like too?

UPDATE:
I've been getting a few comments about UO and some kinds of the t-shirts they make, and I agree that it's absolutely awful. I'll tell you that I only own about 4 pieces of clothing from there, and will no longer be giving them business. Thank you all for bringing this to my attention. I knew about this issue before, but I never really knew how awful some of their things were.

I just finished reading Alice Munro's latest book, it was SO GOOD, PEOPLE. Now I'm onto Joan Didion. She is SO GOOD too! Anyways I'm going to go and watch a movie now, tah tah!
Oh, and a special thanks to people who commented about my rant! It was really appreciated!

I am A Vampire and I have lost my Fangs again

Hello people who read my blog. I apologise for my frequent absences. I have been very busy with school and whatnot. It was my birthday ( which I share with AMY POEHLER from Parks and Rec) last Sunday and I went shopping with my mummy dearest and two friends. Then on Wednesday I left for a four day bike trip for grade tens elevens and twelves with my school. We stayed in tents for three chilly nights. We had all kinds of weather. It rained, hailed and even snowed. It was fun though. I think I'll probably go next year as well. Anyways, I am here sitting in my living room with my parents because it is my daddykins birthday today and we are having chicken enchiladas soon. Here are some of the presents I got last week: (sorry some of them are the wrong way, I have no idea why.)
A Ukulele! It's so much fun!

A Simon & Garfunkel tape

Just Kids by Patti Smith

The complete Weetzie Bat series

A thingy with pictures of the Beatles and stories and stuff.

It's a funny little quote!

Season 3 of Parks and Rec, Marie Antoinette and the Royal Tenenbaums


I just love all of their expressions!
YAY IT IS SO AWESOME AND COOL

All of the stickers are so neat and beautiful and I don't really want to use any of them because they are too awesome.
 And I've been making some collages too:


 


And My Mummy darling found a Dali calendar at her school, along with a cool poster that was a Rookie background one day:




And I FINALLY hung this poster from the Walker in Minneapolis:



And last but not least, what I wore today:

jacket and skirt-hand me downs  tights- F21  top and docs- thrifted


And I brushed my hair and put a barrette in it and felt like Margot Tenenbaum.
