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.

 

I wake up In my makeup it's too early for that dress

Back to Reality

 

Faces unfamiliar

Faces familiar

Faces that don't care about me

They know who I am

I know who they are

Some I've known since kindergarten

But I changed.

So that makes me uncool

And they would never talk to me

Never call to hang out

Is being different a crime?

Now people barely talk to me.

The idea to them is unfathomable.

Just because I wear a skirt means you can't speak to me?

Some are unfazed

And see no difference in me.

I thought people were used to me now.

I guessed wrong.

I've never been "cool"

And I understand in a haze of hollister and aeropostale I never will be.

I guess I'm just a nobody.

So I'm back at school. Unfortunately. I decided to start listening to Hole again, which I haven't done in months. It's nice.

David Bowie and some other stuff

Hi! Remember me? Maren? I used to blog here alot. But alas, it was summer. I was busy swimming and travelling and doing things at camp. Yes, I returned from art camp last week and it was SO much fun! I made a friend (YAY!) and I painted David Bowie! We did some other stuff, but painting was my favourite.

We had to choose a person who we admired, like a celebrity or a singer. It was funny because someone would come over to me and say, "who's that?" I would say, "David Bowie." to which the response was, "who's that?". Then I would go and see what other people were doing, and say "who's that?" "oh it's (insert name of pop star here)" and then I'd say, "who's that?" . Hee heeee. Yeah, I had a REALLY good time! It was so fun!

And then this week I am helping my mom organize an art room at the school she teaches at! Her boss told me that anything I wanted, I could have! So naturally I brought a huge box home.

flowers, disco ball and lace

glitter spray, glitter glue and mod podge

fabric

beads and rhinestones!

In other news, I chopped more than half of my hair off! (Actually, my hairdresser did, not me.)

 

 

And I'm getting total kind of 90's grunge vibes here, don't you agree? ( the photo is all grainy, i don't know why.)

 

 

Top- hand me down skirt-thrifted  boots-brash



 

 And school starts on Thursday. Bye bye summer. :(

I Can't think of a good TITLE.

Why hey there! Thanks for poppin' in! Obviously, I'm back from my trip. We went to Minneapolis! It was sooooo much fun! I got some new clothes and shoes and stuff. We also went to the Walker Art Museum! It had a thing on about the 80's! I got a pin and 2 cool posters! Here's what I saw!

I got a poster of this one!!!

So that was fun! We also went to The Mall of America (duh) and I hit shops like Urban Outfitters which we don't have. When I was in there, I got THESE!!!



THEY ARE AMAZING!!!!!!!!!! I love them SOOOO much!


And THEN we went to a Goodwill store and.........

DOCS FOR $ 4.99!!!!!!!! I was SO happy when I found these! IN the 1st picture the reason there aren't any laces is because I polished them and am looking for nicer laces because the other ones were crap and were fraying and stuff. THATZ ALL FOLKZ.

And We'll Meet on a Cloud

I have really been neglecting this blog, haven't I? Sorry bout that. It's summer! I've been busy. Anyways, I have a lot to tell. First, some outfits.

top and skirt-thrifted  shoes-Street Society

top- hand me down  skirt-F21  Shoes-Docs

Which one do you like better? My camera decided to go all funky and make it yellow and fuzzy I think it looks kinda cool.

Top-Parisian  Shorts-F21  shoes- Joe

So. There are my outfits. HEY LOOK AT THIS! IN # 40, there is someone with the same name as me! So cool! The only other Maren I've EVER met was in a Safeway. And pic #1 is of Charlotte and Gwen! So cool, yet again! Anyways, I've been doing some stuuufffff lately, like watching the Olympics! I like Synchronized swimming and Gymnastics because of the makeup and outfits. I have also been makin' stuff, LIKE THIS:

Bows!

Rose Crown!

I bejewelled my cat-eye sunglasses!

I MADE A CUSTOMIZED SHIRT.
Top row: Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots by the Flaming Lips, Funeral by Arcade Fire
Bottom row: In the Aeroplane Over the Sea by Neutral Milk Hotel, Abbey Road by the Beatles

I've been DYING to make this shirt for like, EVER. You have to buy special paper at Fabricland that you can print pictures on and then iron on the picture! I think I might make a Hole one soon. Anyways, we might be going on a mini road trip next week, so I'll be away for a bit! Bye!

~ENJOY YOUR SUMMER IT'S ALREADY AUGUST!~
