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!!

Shirts - Kinloch's Angels!

This shirt was made in honor of our "big boss," the dean of Social Sciences.

After a long cold week, I am finally adjusting to the weather. AND after finally catching up on some much needed sleep I decided to be a little daring in my outfit today. Lovin' it. Hoping for Grace's approval :)

Life Lesson

This week has been crazy! Not only did Wednesday start the beginning of classes but because our secretary at work quit (without 2 weeks notice) I've been working extra hours (and NOT doing what I was hired to do). This has led me to a life lesson...

LIFE LESSON:
NEVER take it out on the person answering the phone.

There are many reasons for this, namely being a nice person, but others include:
1. I cannot remember the last time I saw a place where the person who answered the phone was the person IN CHARGE. They are almost always relaying information.
2. This may be true, but being nice and to the point can get you somewhere... People will go the extra mile when they can.
3. It's also true that although YOU think your situation is SPECIAL... it likely isn't.
