JSU artists

Just fudged a knit stitch & immediately thought "Shit, control z." Didn't work, unfortunately.

Today after class, I walked around the art building and looked at all the art. The printmaking class made these pieces that were mostly animals joined with other animals and they were okay, but this one piece was different. I am in love. I wish I deciphered the signature so I could be friends with this person. I'm really bummed about the quality of the photos I took. They turned out really janky for some reason, but still. Still awesome.

The title was the best part.

My new favorite fashion thing

I love clothes. I love being able to express my moods through an outfit. Ususally, once I get paid, I blow my paycheck on clothes and food. Which is also the reason why I have to shop in the plus area of stores. That's beside the point. The point is that I've come across this really nice fashion thing that I really really like. Here are a couple of my favorites.

These are my #1 favorite. I would buy 100 pairs, if I could. I love the soft pinks and greens on the blue. Very vintage-esque.

These are also v cute. You can't ever go wrong with polka dots.

from Maurices

The ones below are a little shy for my taste. Mr. Loucks, my ceramics professor, is always telling us to NOT make a piece of artwork that whispers. Make it shout. I like for my clothing to shout, and these pants don't quite do it, but they're still pretty cute.

from Old Navy

Stars! I love stars! I almost didn't include these because I thought they were just polka dots again, but when I scrolled through some of the close ups I realized my mistake. I have included a photo of the posterior for posterity. Muahaha! Puns. 

from Forever 21

These are okay. The floral is nice. I think they are probably more cute in person.

Because I do not discriminate against skinny people, here are some honorable mentions...

I. Love. Damask. Best pattern.

I must note that the transition between "Women's" and "Women's plus" is really jarring. 

9. List 10 people who have influenced you and describe how.

I just want it known that it has taken me a    v  e  r  y    long time to finish this. Thinking about influences is weird.


10. Mr. Stiefel- Because of things I learned in his biology class, I actively think about adopting a child from another country besides the US.
9. Andrew- He was a huge influence on my quitting the job I had at the theatre. Some may say he was a bad influence. That's not for me to say. (I'm still bitter about him leaving me.)
8. CTR- He was the first boy I ever kissed so, needless to say, he impacted my life. He still does.
7. The Vlogbrothers- I highly respect these two men, and I genuinely look forward to their work as much as I do any movie or television star. I usually let their opinions sway my own and I don't feel guilty about it in the least.
6. MS- She & I are almost exactly opposite. I love that because it helps me remember that not everybody sees things the way I do. She is a great advice giver, too. I wish we hadn't drifted apart.
5. Mitsy- I think I became the person I am today because I met her. She really brought me out of my shell. I wish I wasn't such a loser and I called her more.
4. Dr. G- He has made me re-think lottery tickets, realize that Fargo is a weird movie, & that I suck at programming.
3. Rosh- She has always been kind of like my conscience. Always the mother hen. But also, she's the reason I started this blog. Talk about some major influence.
2. MJ- I have looked up to her ever since I can remember. I don't always intentionally follow in her footsteps, but I highly respect her opinion.
1. Mama- She is the reason I am so awesome. She really is. All of the things I like, it's because she liked them first. They say that mimicry is the highest form of flattery.

Like a Tattoo

Today since it's valentine's day, I got a 9 views on THIS POST probably because some nerds wanted to impress their significant others with a star wars pun for valentine's day. Sorry to those 9. You probably didn't find what you wanted.

I actually had a decent Garbage day this year. Which reminds me, it really is garbage day & I need to take the can to the road. AH it's dark.
MJ sent me a Taylor Swift ecard and my Jefe sent me a few christian ecards. My dear Madre sent me a "LOL forever alone" Bridget Jones valentine. So kind of her. :)
In ceramics, this cute couple gave out valentines to everybody and this other person made some scrumptious whoopie pies for class. It was cool.

Yesterday, I hung out with some friends and I thought we had a perfectly nice time. Before I left, one friend was like hey want to hang out tomorrow, and I was like sure. Because I am a loser and I knew I wouldn't have any other plans for valentines. I think he forgot it was vday. I think he remembered shortly after and regretted the hangout invite. When I asked him today if we would hang out he gave me some bullshit about having to go in early for work. Sorry if you're reading this Truck, but you know it's bullshit. (And I know you're not reading this so I don't even know why I bother.) It just annoyed me because I could've made myself some pancakes like 4 fucking hours ago. Geez I don't even know why we're friends anymore, all he does is piss me off all the time. I want to be his friend so badly, but it sucks feeling like I'm the person he can hang out with if his other friends aren't doing something. This could all be resolved if I just talked to him. It's so difficult to get him to be real with me. Plus I'm scared. Whatever.

Anyway, I've discover this week that I CANNOT wait to live on my own. I love having alone time where I can yell at the tv as loud as I want.  Don't judge me.

Feels

Episode 5 of My Mad Fat Diary was pretty heartwrenching. The thing that gets me so hooked to shows like this is that I wish I could just yell at them all the time. Like, HEY GIRL, HE OBVIOUSLY DIGS YOU, HE DRAWS SECRET MESSAGES INTO YOUR HANDS, THAT IS SO INTIMATE, YOU ARE SO BLIND. Of course, it's a television show and it's meant to be so obvious like that. It drives me crazy at all the secrets that are kept. The secrets are what causes all the drama!
That's why I like to keep the secrets that I have to a bare minimum.

RAE: Who do you like best Chloe, Morrissey or the lead singer of the Smiths?
CHLOE: Well, depends on what mood I'm in.
RAE & FINN: LOL

In other news, I have a freckle that I'm concerned about. It's on my hairline on the left side of my head and I swear it's getting bigger and weirder looking. I was thinking though, if I go to the doctor and it really is something... then it might not be such a terrible thing because I could try out one of those side cuts that's all the rage right now.

Graphic Design is hard.

defo perf

If this isn't the strongest case toward you watching my mad fat diary on youtube, then you're not human.  Look at Nico Mirallegro's handsome face, and how he scrunches it like Sharon Rooney does.
I'm going to watch Upstairs, Downstairs soon, because imdb says that he's in a couple episodes. His face is just that good. I know I'm not alone in this. The rest of the internet agrees with me. Also, he replies to a bunch of his fans on twitter in really clever, funny ways. Cute cute cute.
