I spent way too much money last weekend on clothes. Unfortunately this seems to be a common occurrence. At least I look good, right?
I spent all day making MyShape outfits on Polyvore. It's so much fun (and helps out the company.. yay!). Seriously, if you havent used it, do. It's super easy and it fulfills my dreams (and probably yours, admit it) of being a personal stylist.
I had meant to write a post that was meaningful and I remember that I thought of a really good topic at work today but alas, as usual, it's completely gone. I'll probably think of it again at some other completely inconvenient time.
Also, I changed my profile playlist so enjoy. They are three of my favorite sipping mojitos and snacking on lady fingers songs. Not that i do that often. Or ever. But if I did (all whilst floating around on my pink polka dot pool floaty) these would be the songs I'd be listening to.
Currently replaying anything JEM. This one's particularly fresh in the memory due to Sex and the City
Also I'm obsessed with Polyvore.com
And Nordstrom. It's so much nicer than Macy's. I never find anything in Macy's. And since Bloomingdale's is so far away, Nordstrom is like the best friend you can always depend on :)
Today was Jessica's Bday dinner. It was nice to see some friends. Working nonstop kind of sucks. I need to move to a city where driving isnt necessary and you can see all your friends by taking public transport/walking. Not too far of walking, though. I need to be able to wear killer shoes.
Work in the A.M. means sleep in the P.M. so I better make it in these last 15 minutes.
I watch Breakfast at Tiffany's way too much. I took a break for a while after Jessica confirmed to me that I AM just like Holly when it comes to love, but since I've accepted my ways I am back to watching it constantly :)
This is one of my fave dialogues from the movie. I wish youtube had the excerpt but I've only been able to find longer segments. Doc Golightly: I love you Lula Mae. Holly Golightly: I know you do, and that's just the trouble. It's the mistake you always made, Doc, trying to love a wild thing. You were always lugging home wild things. Once it was a hawk with a broken wing... and another time it was a full-grown wildcat with a broken leg. Remember? Doc Golightly: Lula Mae there's something... Holly Golightly: You musn't give your heart to a wild thing. The more you do, the stronger they get, until they're strong enough to run into the woods or fly into a tree. And then to a higher tree and then to the sky. <3
Working 9 to 5, what a way to make a livin'. Okay so I'm working 930 to 6 but theres no song for that..
I got really lucky with this internship. It's fashion related, but not so much so that feel like I'm in The Devil Wears Prada. I pretty much get to blog surf all day and talk to bloggers who write about the coolest things, so that's amazing. I'm also doing some writing. The people in the office are all very nice. And they are so dedicated to the company. Especially my boss, Linda. She is a superhero. Working during vacation? Now THAT'S dedication.
Hopefully I can blog about the interesting blogs I read at work, but I usually have no time.. so we'll see. I've added a lot of them to my follow list so I guess people can go there to check them out. I just need to be more on top of posting here as well as on twitter and facebook.
People don't understand me, and I like that. I don't fit the mold that many of my friends do right now.. they have different wants, different needs.
In high school I never, ever hung out with the group of girls who were always in relationships. I was ALWAYS with the free spirits, the independent leaders. The women who did not compromise any part of themselves for men. Not that they didnt have boyfriends, but they never whined about how much they wanted one (one of my biggest pet peeves) nor did they become sappy no-life-ers once they got em. I am very much an independent person. I hate depending on others because they tend to disappoint. I also find it hard for people to hold my attention for long periods of time. It is quite rare for me to find those people who are so secure with themselves that they dont compromise themselves for others. I havent found some of those people in a looong time.
I had decided to become more like normal people in my position (age, sex, location, etc) and be more open to relationships --whatever the hell that means (i really couldnt even say the phrase because i knew there was no way i knew how to accomplish it). But I'm not anti-relationships, no matter what people may think or how I may come off. The truth is that if I met someone who captured my attention, was a unique individual, had something to contribute, and i was attracted to them (which is the biggest problem, i amnot easily attracted to people) I would have no problem calling them my boyfriend. But, with the same token, I am unable to meet someone halfway. That is why I don't work like most. I understand that relationships are supposed to be able compromising and meeting the other person halfway, etc, but I think that is bullshit. If you can't accept me 100% exactly as I am, then we aren't meant to be. Plain and simple. I know I am not perfect. I am far from it. I know I'm wrong a lot of the time. But if I disagree with someone, I tell them. If I think someone is being shady, disrespectful, rude, etc, I tell them. Or I distance myself. And my partner needs to acknowledge that and accept it. I'm not changing anytime soon.
There is a reason that I am posting about this today, but I'm not going into it because I'm not going to place blame on people for being the compromising type. Most people are. I don't think that that is a problem. However, I have never ever understood how people disregard their friends, family, and whole entire lives because they get a boyfriend/girlfriend. Unless you are married, I don't excuse that behavior. If you don't make me a priority, you will not be made one in my life.
In the Gaga interview, I like how she says shes not "looking" for anyone. I'm not looking for anyone either. I'm very content being alone. I'm over pretending that I like people when I really don't. And i'm over trying to make things work that I know aren't going to. I just want to have fun (not be a slut, which people tend to associate that phrase with).
If you have ever read the wikipedia page for "Hipsters (contemporary subculture)" you have probably also laughed so hard milk came out of your nose. Just saying.
I love hipsters. I think I may qualify as one simply because of the myspace photo sesh. One can only dream.
I have a love/hate relationship with the Travel Channel. Everytime I watch it I want to get awayyyy.
I have been wanting to go somewhere nature-y all month but unfortunately it seems I will be in LA all summer. I'm supposed to go to Seattle with Mayra in August but we havent settled any details yet so I don't know if thats going to happen. I'm also planning to go to San Diego in a few weeks to visit V & Karolyn but that doesn't count. I want to roadtrip to grand canyon again or to the redwood national park (lol, yes, that is what i am watching on TV right now because of course I didn't know that existed). Ooo now Yosemite is on! I've never been there either!! Who wants to be my travel buddy?
Perhaps I should take that full-time job so that I can afford these excursions... However then I won't have any time for the trips. Boo.
