Be my friend.

Earlier today I got my color re-touched. I didn't do purple this time because although I really love it, it fades much too quickly. So I just did blue, and I'm LOVING it. It's a gorgeous cobalt/aqua color and we bleached a few extra chunks of hair for more color. It looks pretty awesome if I do say so myself. Tom is the best stylist ever. I'd never let anyone else touch my hair.

Sleep.

Everything is going to be okay.

I love Miss Katie James.

My little niece Katie Bug with her Curious Georges. The clothed one was a gift from me. :D

Things I Need: IT'S ALMOST SPRING! Edition.

It's spring and I'm in a pretty good mood.

For all of the dinner parties I'm always hosting.

Making dishes bright and cheery!

FUCK YEAH OCTOPUS

Dude I have so many different prescription medications that I really should get one of these. Thanks, Freud!

Better than my horrifying childhood clown nightlight!

I'd use this for an ashtray.

I'm totally a sucker for Sailor Jerry tattoo art.

Hell yes you sexy pizza-slinger!

Gotta put a lock on my diary!

This is just gorgeous.

Tarot coasters for my fancy totally not scuffed coffee table!

Yessss! ;D

I bought these babies a few weeks ago and it's only been warm enough to wear them recently. I can't wait for spring to get here!

Errands are calling my name, but I think it's time to start off my day by buying a pack of Camel No. 9 Menthe and a cup of coffee, and sit outside with the pup.

 KEEPIN' IT CLASSY <3

 THIS IS MY BFF 

 VEGGIE BOWL FROM CHIPOTLE NOM NOM NOM

THE SUPER CUTE SKULL RING THAT I ORDERED FROM ETSY CAME IN THE MAIL TODAY YOU GUYS OH MAN

This mini "photo dump" is courtesy of the wonderful last couple of days I've had. I've had an enjoyable last few days off, and this beautiful weather has really been putting me in a much better mood.

I also can't wait for pictures from the photo shoot that I did yesterday to be posted! I'm very excited about this. 

Life is certainly a bowl of peaches right now. :]

Do you guys know what's even worse than Valentine's Day? When Valentine's Day falls on a Monday.

Who's that fluffy bundle of love?

Things I need: Anti-Valentine's Day Edition.

Ever since I was a kid, I hated Valentine's Day. It was always the worst holiday, worse than Easter. It mean that you had to buy a Valentine for the kid in your class who purposefully spilled chocolate Jell-O pudding on your new tennis shoes.


I would rather have all of the blood in my body drained and then pumped back into my body again than get tepid drug store chocolates or a cheesy card for Valentine's Day. Even when I had a boyfriend, I didn't celebrate it. I told every single one of my boyfriends up front to not expect anything for Valentine's Day and that I didn't expect or want any gifts either. And it wasn't in like a passive-aggressive way either, like, "Oh my god, I hate Valentine's Day SO MUCH so don't get me anything, but that REALLY means you need to get me diamond jewelry." It was in a, "if you get me a present for Valentine's Day, I'll kick you in the balls" kind of way.

Anyway, I'm not too keen on relationships or shitty Hallmark holidays right now anyway, so here is my Anti-Valentine's Day list of Things I Need:

I don't like questions.

Is there anyone who understands your relationship status?
I'm pretty sure at this point that I'm the only one who understands it, and that's okay with me.



Is there a night you would like to put on repeat, and live it forever?
No. That would be so boring and I'd get sick of it. You can get sick of anything, no matter how good it is.



Is there someone you'd like to fix things with?
"Fixing" things is not easy.



What kind of mood are you in?
I'm in a pretty quiet, contemplative mood right now, I guess. Just chilled out.



Do you think you can last in a relationship for 6 months?
I've done it before.



Last time you kissed someone?
A while ago.



Were you up at 11pm last night?
Yes. I'm a night owl.



How many months until your birthday?
Seven or so?



Can you sleep in jeans?
I can, but I would probably just sleep in my underwear instead. Who sleeps in their jeans?



Do you think the last person you kissed cares for you?
In a way, certainly.



What do you want right now?
A cigarette.



How's your heart lately?
Still the size of a grape.



Is it worth crying over a boy/girl?
No one that's worth it is someone that you'll cry over.




Other than yourself, who was the last thing/person you took a picture with?
Charles.



Where is the next place you will travel to?
Pittsburgh in April! :D



Who is the last person that called you?
My mom.



What are you doing tomorrow?
Working and spending time with my mama.



Do you hate it when people smoke around you?
Only if we're in a really confined area and there's nowhere for me to get some fresh air.



Do you have a friend of the opposite sex you can talk to?
Yes, quite a few of them, actually.


Were you happy when you woke up this morning?
Noo, but I wasn't unhappy, either.



What were your first thoughts when you woke up this morning?
I didn't know what day of the week it was. Great start.




Do you think you will be in a relationship 3 months from now?
No and I don't want to be in one, either. I need a few years to myself to stay single!



Is your phone right beside you?
Yeah, it's on the coffee table.



Do you trust most people?
Generally, I only trust my close friends. They know who they are!



Have you recently come out of a relationship?
Yes.




Have you ever broken someone's heart?
Yeah, but it was for his own good.



Have you liked someone who wasn't good to you?
Yes. I'm embarrassed by this.



Do you believe everyone deserves a second chance?
Not anymore. Sometimes, there are no second chances.


Ever kissed two people in the same day?
No.



Ever liked someone else's girlfriend or boyfriend?
No, not like that.



Is heartbreak really as bad as it sounds?
Not really.


Do you mind sleeping on the floor?
Not as long as I can have a blanket and a pillow. But I'd rather not.



Who did you last get into a big argument with?
I'd rather not say.



Honestly, do you hate the last girl you were talking to in person?
What? Hell no! I love her!



How many people do you truly trust?
What is it with this question?



What time did you go to sleep last night?
Probably around two a.m.



What are you listening to?
Right now, I'm listening to Bon Iver. I've been obsessed with Fever Ray lately!



Explain the last time you threw up:
It was not pretty.



What is your deepest fear?
Clowns and birds, so probably a bird-clown killing machine.



A book ever made you cry?
No.



Is the world crumbling to pieces?
I'll watch it fall.

And I want to walk around with you, with you, with you, with you.

Juno playing in the snow at the park a few weeks ago. :]

...and her reaction to said video. Haha!

Juno likes her toys.

Your body may be gone, I'm gonna carry you in. In my head, in my heart, in my soul. And maybe we'll get lucky and we'll both live again. Well I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. Don't think so. Well that is that and this is this. You tell me what you want and I'll tell you what you get. You get away from me. You get away from me. Collected my belongings and I left the jail. Well thanks for the time, I needed to think a spell.

I had to think awhile. I had to think awhile.

The ocean breathes salty, won't you carry it in? In your head, in your mouth, in your soul. And maybe we'll get lucky and we'll both grow old. Well I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I hope so. Well that is that and this is this. Will you tell me what you saw and I'll tell you what you missed, when the ocean met the sky. You missed when time and life shook hands and said goodbye. When the earth folded in on itself. And said, "Good luck, for your sake I hope heaven and hell are really there, but I wouldn't hold my breath."

You wasted life, why wouldn't you waste death?
You wasted life, why wouldn't you waste death?



Modest Mouse, "Ocean Breathes Salty," Good News for People Who Love Bad News

These song lyrics make sense to me right now, with everything that's happened lately. It's kind of creepy.

Things I need: Weekend Edition.

OH MY GOD A JUNO CUPCAKE OH MY GOD GREATEST IDEA EVER

If I got a chest piece (which I never will, but if I did) I would get something kind of like the motif on this shirt.

This is just hot.

These just need little faces on them and then they would be complete.



Mama Bear & Baby Bear chillin' on the couch. :]

Why is this the greatest thing not on television?

Why is this the greatest thing I have seen in forever?

I like Etsy.

Since I'm never going to see my old skull earrings again, I bought these babies earlier tonight:

I also bought this guy, too:

Last time, you walked out on me. This time, I'm out like the sea. No more say you will, then you don't.

I just got my doubles done today.

My boss Alissa did my doubles today.

My next step is getting my nose pierced. Also, I bought a pair of black oxfords, two rings, and some socks today. Pictures of the other stuff later...but here's my new ring. $1.50, hollaaaa!

This is what I imagine Juno's stream of consciousness to be like much of the time. Also, this is going to be my summer project--building her a fence with a porthole. Just because.

I don't like not having electricity.

I don't care if I'm whining about being without power for two whole hours. It was dumb and it sucked. It came back on, but then it went out again. I'm sitting here on my couch, huddled by my laptop in the dark, typing this. I feel like it's 1838. It's really stupid and not fun at all.

Not having power is boring when you live alone. I can't even play hide & seek with my dog because she's...well, black.

Anyway, I have to be at work at 9:30 tomorrow morning and I'm still not tired. My laptop only has four more hours of battery life on it. SIGH.

I really don't want to drive to work tomorrow. If the power doesn't come back on tonight, I won't be able to get my car out of the garage.

This has been the dumbest night of my life.
