Valentine's Day: Part 2

Maybe our girlfriends are our soulmates
and guys are just people to have fun with.
- Sex in the City

Off to go to a single lady celebration at my friend Cat's house. I'm super excited for wine, homemade truffles and appetizers, and some great friends. A lovely way to celebrate indeed.

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY:
PART I

Some people are settling down,
some people are settling
and some people refuse to settle
for anything less than butterflies.

My outfit choice today was a little limited as I had to wear a t-shirt, jeans, and closed toe shoes for shooting (no v-necks or heels allowed!). But I love this outfit, mostly because I get to wear the Cusack shirt in a cute kitchy way.

Stories like Say Anything are fucking people up. We don't need to worry about people unconsciously "absorbing" archaic secret messages when they're six years old; we need to worry about all the entertaining messages people are consciously accepting when they're twenty-six. They're the ones that get us, because they're the ones we try to turn into life. I mean, Christ: I wish I could believe that bozo in Coldplay when he tells me that stars are yellow. I miss that girl. I wish I was Lloyd Dobler. I don't want anybody to step on a piece of broken glass. I want fake love. But that's all I want, and that's why I can't have it.

My Elephant Obsession

Sooo... today I went thrift shopping with my girlfriend and bought yet another elephant pendant. I have developed an obsession and thought it's only right that I catalog it.

Left is my favorite ring, which I wear daily on my left thumb. I bought it from a local vendor during my campus's weekly "Market Wednesday." I absolutely love it. No matter how many times I've been convinced I've lost it (it is loose enough that with some water involved it can easily slip off) it has always found its way back!

Right are my pendants! Top Left: Can't remember where I got this! Probably Forever! Top Right: This is the pendant I bought today at a local thrift store, Avant Garb. Bottom Left: Forever 21! Bottom Right: I actually got this pendant (and a chain for it) at a craft store!

In western cultures, elephants represent good luck. Although most assume it carries over from eastern culture... it doesn't! at all! BUT most cultures appreciate their intelligence and respect them because of it.

Also... I have previously made elephant shoes, above!!
