Summer: Life's What You Make It.

I was kicked out of summer school.
Super rad, I know. Summer really has been rough. I can't seem to get it right. But that right there is quitter talk. I have too many people relying on my success to indulge in quitter talk.

So what am I going to do about it?

1. Look into BYU summer school courses
2. Call my counselor and let her know the awesome news
3. maybe contact Edwards and tell her (? this option actually scares me)

What am I not going to do?

1. Mope
2. Get stuck on it

I am an immovable force of nature and honestly my summer school was really bad. My teacher wasn't there half the time and I'm pretty sure they had me help falsify documents. Also Major DB was exactly that, a major DB. I know that what's happened isn't good, I have three classes to fix and a limited amount of time to do so. I also have to find a mentor and figure out how I'm going to pass next year.

I really am better than this. I'm kinda super disappointed in myself because I F'ed up this badly.
This certainly isn't the end. But a good general knows when to make a tactical retreat.

So folks, this is your general, sounding the alarm.

Day Sixty-Three: Of Mind Melds and Fruit.

"Day (-------): Summertime Blues.
Hello and welcome to the ghost town that has become of this blog.
I promise I've not been dead, I've just been extraordinarily busy for the beginning of summer. I've been watching two kids, who are absolutely lovely. While also attempting to circumnavigate the awfulness that is summer school. (Pay attention in class kids, lest you become the seventeen year old with three classes to re mediate.) I've also been attempting to find a mentor for senior project.
I did, however, manage to write a blog post at the end of the year.
"Day Fifty-Three: Holy F*#k.
Today is an amazing day.
I'm more than a little proud that I am passing all my classes and my google history was not displayed for the entirety of Ipoly to see. It's been a beautiful, chaotic last week. Everything seems to be happening at a million miles a minute. That's okay though because we're figuring it out one day at a time.
A look back on the week includes

• Another bout of habitual lateness
• Two lovely migraines
• The urge to commit homicide at least twice
• Actually doing my homework ahead of time
• And the feeling of hazy nostalgia of a year better spent trying

Yes, this year has been a wild ride (like I've written in every yearbook) and I didn't think that I could be any more content. Despite that, I am. I'm so pleased and I feel so damn elated that I was able to do better. I was able to make a huge improvement in my mental, physical, and emotional health this year. As well as my grades!

I'm incredibly proud of all my friends who did amazing things this year, I'm proud of the friends that I had and lost this year. Most of all, I'm proud of my survival. My Slytherin spirit and determination not to lose. Tooth and nail, blood and tears, thick and thin. It's been a magnificent year and I can't wait for my next big adventure.

Have fun and Enjoy Summer!"

See, wasn't that lovely? 

We'll return to regularly scheduled blogging soon enough. Once I get my head on straight for sure.

Have Fun and Enjoy Life."

Y'know it's pretty funny when I write several drafts and forget to post them because I've been so busy doing other things. Hi, blog that I've let fall into ruin, how are you?

I'm doing okay, been having pretty awful migraines as of late and I haven't really had the funds to have any adventures. I have, however, been able to work on my other blogs and social media. Fun stuff I know. I've also dedicated a small chunk of my life to Critical Role, a Geek and Sundry show about Dungeons and Dragons. The show features an array of voice actors and actresses and is just awesome.

I also had an adventure in child watching, which was fun. I got to take them on random travels and give them ice cream and not tell their mom. I felt like the super cool kid watcher for awhile and was able to get some summer school done in the mean time. I've also been in my constant struggle with Major Douche Bag, my evil summer school "advisor."
Over all it's been a pretty grand adventure for the start of the summer. I hope to get back to some semblance of a schedule with this blog, but I make no promises.
That's all from me folks, I'll see you in the next round.

Have fun and Be lazy.

Day Forty-Nine: Fitness and a Long Week.

It's my last week as a Junior.
Oh my what a year it's been! Plenty of ups and downs. Changes coming in from left and right. My first prediction of 2015 as a 'weird' year has been pretty accurate up to this point. I know at some point I was ready to call it quits, now I'm here.

What does this have to do with knitting? Nothing, knitting still hasn't happened. I'm scrapping the kitty hat until a better day arises. That does however lead us to to more changes. I'm switching up the tides.

First things first, Anime Tuesday is now Watch It Tuesday. Also It's been moved to Wednesday, therefore I dub it Watch It Wednesday [;)] Fashion posts are now being moved to Tuesday, and come summer I'll be doing more writing Wednesdays.
Yes, this horrendous year is coming to a close. From crazy groups to unexpected friends, this year has given me the full "Grown Up" treatment.

Rad. 

A little update on the whole workout/squat challenge thing. I feel better because I'm getting deeper, more restful sleep. Working out has become a huge steam burner, so if I'm angry or anxious, I just workout and feel a lot better. It feels good to be active and actually doing something. I never thought that exercise could be fun, but hey, I'm wrong a lot.
My mom has put a rule on me for the summer, I'm required to leave the house four times a week this summer. Where and who I'm going to be going with is up in the air. If you have suggestions for an outing, let me know.  I'm also not allowed to sleep until noon, so basically I'm not supposed to enjoy my summer downtime. 

I think that explains most of what's been going on recently. Hopefully you'll understand my absence. 

Have Fun and get wild.

Day Twenty Nine: Knitted and Things Have Changed.

CAASPP testing is dumb. That's really all I'm allowed to say about it, but it's super dumb.
Anyway, knitting.
We are doing a project this week. It's the first large project for this blog and for myself. I've been having trouble completing the smaller projects in the time allotted. Either due to misunderstanding the pattern, or inability to gather materials. Hopefully this project runs a little more smoothly.
This week we're making a cat ear beanie.

It's a cute hat that apparently knits up quick. Although the number of stitches needed makes me nervous.

The pattern can be found here (PATTERN) 

I will be using:

• My 6mm magic loop.(29in cable) US Size 10
• The pattern doesn't really specify the yarn you should use. I'm going to look in my stash.
• A tapestry needle

I am not promising this project done by Friday, but it will be done by June I'm sure!

On to another order of business. Summer is quickly approaching and I live in California. Hate to say that knitted wares are not good for heat, but I know that come the ultra hot weather, I'm not going to want to knit. Rather then scrapping Monday posts come June, I'm making another addition. 

Soon enough I'm going to start doing other crafts (like macrame, DIY's, other stuff.) I think that this is a nice compromise and it will keep me busy. Hope you'll agree

Have fun and Be ambitious.

Fashion is hard.

I've been wanting to go shopping for about a week now. That's what you get when you T.A. for a fashion blogger (thank you Edwards.) She keeps encouraging me to shake up my wardrobe from it's traditional all black state. While she's completely right, it would be nice if clothes were not outlandishly expensive.












My next aesthetic is going to be 'Pretty Odd' era Panic! inspired. A hodge-podge of that and pastel goth/grunge. I can't quit dressing like an emo kid all at once.
Because I've been planning on mixing it up, I keep coveting items. Target has become no-mans-land. If I went into Forever 21 right now, I'm one hundred percent sure I would end up in crippling debt.  
I'm going to show you a few things that have stolen my heart that I would love to own.

From Target

Honestly If I don't stop there this post is going to get way too long. I didn't even get to show the floral. Oh my gods the floral. 

Have Fun and Covet cute clothes.

Day:TGIF(On saturday!!)

Gotta love the fact that I think schedules are for chumps, and rarely follow my own!

This week week we:

• Lost Grooveshark
• Met Pierre (The best future mentor ever)
• Discovered our powers as the best spin doctor ever
• Finished an anime
• Started three more anime
• Wrote words
• Almost finished a knitting project by Friday
• Are changing the tides
• Are starting book club!!!

That's right, it's time for the Yarnshark Book Club!

This month we're reading:
A Dirty Job by Christopher Moore

We're also welcoming the advent of Sunday posts about food! I realised that I'm not actually watching enough T.V. or movies that aren't anime. On Sundays I'll be cooking some kind of vegetarian meal and telling you all about how I did it, what trouble I ran into and what I payed for it. I forewarn you that many of the recipes will be coming from my Pintrest board Vegetarian Delight. 

Here's to another week completed and filed away as a pretty enjoyable one.

Have fun and enjoy the weekend!

Day Three: Lazy Wednesday.

Today is the fashion day, and if I was a good little blogger I would have taken a picture of my OOTD. But I'm not, so I recreated it via polyvore. (link)

I was so comfy.

I love fashion because it can be so many different things. An extension of yourself, a way to influence other peoples thoughts, or a way to influence your own thoughts. I woke up this morning knowing that I didn't want to get out of bed, but I also had a really important presentation. I wanted to influence my thoughts to remain calm and comfortable. Kinda like I was still in bed. So I pulled out my trusty polka dot skater skirt, my grandpa's old Hanes tee shirt, and my Docs. With that I was ready to take on the day. 

I would also like to say this now, everyone needs to own at least one skater skirt, because they look good on anyone. If you're like me and on the chubbier side of life, or you have a square shaped body, it will look amazing. They are also super comfy and just perfect. Last summer I had a personal ban against pants. I practically lived in skater skirts. 

Today was my lazy day, but I still looked super cute and took the world head on. Which was all thanks to fashion. I may have felt like the living dead, but I looked like I could kill a man. Which we all know is the trademark of a good outfit.

Next week I promise to take a picture in all my glory. Maybe I'll even make Edwards pose for me? 

Have fun and Happy Dressing.
