aren't I nifty?

Please notice the horrible pooka  shells hanging on my BEAUTIFUL door handle (hey, I had to fight for that handle, I like to think it ups the classy-ness of my bathroom).  CAN YOU SAY I WENT TO HAWAII AND ALL I GOT WAS THIS LOUSY NECKLACE?

So I think I'm super cool when I layer things (I guess I feel like I'm actually trying. . .) and I felt extra-awesome putting plaid AND stripes together! I mean COME ON?! '90s grunge and Coco Chanel all in one outfit?! WIN, and people didn't even look at me funny. . . maybe I should have added some heels. . .

why oh why?!

Brand new pair of tights, ripped WHILE PUTTING THEM ON!!! Darn it! (That was kinda punny, get it darn, as in knitting and all that jazz, like tights? OK no? Well then maybe it's just me. . .)

I can actually get whiter. . .

So normally I am about as pale as can be, verging on vampire territory.  I didn't realize that I could be any whiter until I accidentally (or not) spray painted my hand while working on an art project the other day.  So, like the artistic and blog-y nerd that I am, I had to photograph it and post it.  IT'S JUST SO SHINY!

oodles of doodles

English class today was beyond boring; it was poetry, poetry, and more poetry.  While I do like reading poems, something about analyzing them in school just doesn't seem to give the poems justice.  Therefore: hand doodling.  It's faded a bit, but I think I like it even more that way.  If you couldn't tell I like to pretend I'm a hipster and draw mustaches on things :{]

ENSALADA

So this here salad is SO good, I just thought I'd share it with y'all; I make it almost every night.  The pear and the sweet toasted walnuts play off of each other so well, and the balsamic vinaigrette just adds a nice, unexpected ZING! It's sweet but salty and healthy.
