My July Snapshot

even with the heartache and the intense amount of stress that's still flowing, this summer has been UH-MAZING... so i'm extremely sad to see it go :(

i stole this from my lovely ladies Nikstar and Stephanie <3<3

Listening to: 

more rock music, and better rock music, oh and myself strumming horrendously on Willy's guitar lmao (i'm learning!)... weezer, foo fighters, incubus, mississippi man, yeah yeah yeah's, the white stripes, pity party, Panic!, My Chemical Romance, Cold War Kids, etc.

[Mississippi Man show @ the Echoplex]

Reading: 

soooo many books that i have yet to complete :( including Imajica, Kitchen Confidential, World War Z, Death: A Life, and A History of God.

Watching:

the Office, Entourage, Taboo, Dirty Jobs, the Boondocks, Robot Chicken, the Venture Bros., and waiting for the new season of Man vs. Wild!!! oh yeah and guitar instructional videos online lols

Buying:

shiiiiiit! lols mostly just food and movie tickets... this has been the brokest summer of my adult life, and funny enough it ends up being one of the best! goes to show that money doesn't buy a good time :)

Wanting:

some stability, a solution for this ever growing problem i have, to learn how to play an eric clapton song on the guitar, money to be able to enjoy the trips/events coming in the fall, to go to school this semester :(... breakfast! lols

Trying:

to stay optimistic, to find a solution, to progress, to run regularly, to blog more, to make the acoustic guitar my bitch lols

Loving:

this amazing summer! all the new friends and memories i've made! and those family and friends that have supported me through this shit i'm going through lols

Planning:

to make it the fuck out of this hole!!!!!!

Making:

MYSELF smile more :)... and HE does too... but that's a whole 'nother blog post lols

Writing:

more blog posts, doodles, trying to find my inspiration

Pimping:

HELLOOOOO! :)

helloooo my lovely lover pants! how i have missed the beautiful blogosphere! i have no excuses for my extended leave from my blog... none at all... but i will tell you guys that i have just been floating around doing everything that i never had a chance to do the last... well... i've never actually had a chance to do these things :)... meeting new people and just enjoying every day... even though the world seems to want to take a crapper right on me these days... i'm trying to find the silver linings and work my way to what i deserve... but enough about that! i thought i'd just upload some photos from the past month (trying to include mostly outfit shots lols)... enjoy!

 

[my denim shirt! finally! aaand an awesome leather belt :) woot!]

[LMAO, <3 people who keep me laughing!]

[new addition to the family, Oliver! Baby Ollie was born 7/7/10, therefore we played (lucky) 7's the whole time at Vegas ;)]

i'm so thankful to be surrounded by great friends and family now a days <3

triumphant return!

well... maybe not so triumphant lols but i'm definitely working on my return! woohooo! i have a sort of update post in the works... just of outfit photos from the past month and yadda yadda... but for now i'll just share a few random things... first is this outfit i wore on Friday... to run errands and actually be a hermit with some friends... i opted out of a night at the club on Friday and i wasn't disappointed with my decision :)... poker til 3am?! lmao sure! i threw on a necklace after i took this photo... i just enjoy how for some reason this "dress" added with the cut off denim bermudas make me feel/look really tall! i quite enjoy it :)

[dress - faith21, cut off bermudas - old flares, smile - LIFE <3]

and next i'd like to just quickly mention how much i reaaaaaally want this!

[photos from google]

it's the Joby Gorillapod mini tripod! and it looks freakin awesome! that is all :)

and last but definitely not least is just something i'd like to mention having to do with the gay and lesbian community... i've found myself having a lot of conversations with friends of mine that are gay, lesbian, and bi... about life, love and everything in between... and i just have to give my utmost respect and admiration to those who have to struggle with the stresses of a gay/lesbian lifestyle... i was just realizing today, imagine the difficulties we face in our lives as it is... working, living, relationships... just as straight individuals... then imagine throwing in the stress from friction and resistance from people in your life, as well as random strangers you don't even know, just because of who you choose to love and care for... i mean... the stress and pressure of making a relationship work with another person is hard enough... and then think about what it would be like if almost everyone else in your life was an obstacle for your relationship as well... that is a fucking insanely crazy thing to have to deal with... and i just want those of you who deal with that every single day... to know that I myself respect and admire the bullshit you have to deal with <3 (i know this is probably extremely obvious, but it struck me tonight so i had to mention it)

that is all my loves...

i'm happy to be back :)

What is one thing you would change about your hair?

VOLUME! ugh, i used to have such lovely and thick hair back in middle school... but then in highschool i started intense dying and bleaching... and that totally thinned my hair out :( if i could take something back having to do with my body/image... it would have been all that destructive hair dying :/

Ask me anything

Love you Iza...everything will be ok. Time is the best healer :)

thank you lovely :) whoever you are lolz... things have healed but i've also been reevaluating why i was doing the things i was doing the last couple of years, including blogging... i'm still in a weird transition mode... so i hope you all are bearing with me <3

Ask me anything

What is your favorite thing to wear? ex:shorts...dresses...jeans

i suppose it all depends on the season, even though i know California doesn't have the biggest weather variations lolz... i looove to wear dresses in the summer... its either dresses or shorts... just so easy to work with and always super comfy... during the colder times of the year nothing is better than a pair of great fitting jeans a loose top and a cute and well structured jacket :)
