While there is life, there is hope.

Cicero in Ad Atticum

Uniplorgs.

then my blog got deleted. I’ll be randomly posting some of my greatest works here :D

Go ahead, share this with someone you love. It’s 30 seconds of their life they will never get back.

I randomly stumbled upon this photo on Nasa.gov. It’s a photo of some land mass on mars that makes my skin crawl. Maybe it’s the weird worm shape or it’s resemblance to rollie pollies (I am deathly afraid of rollie pollies.) I tried googling how to spell “rollie pollie” but I freaked out 5 seconds in. Damn Google’s image search mixed in with web search! It will be the end of me. :(

I will try to keep jewelry to a minimum, but I can’t promise anything.

1. GP Feather Necklace.

I love feathers, birds, and natural themes in jewelry. The one above might be too big for me as I like petite pendants, but I love the use of open space.

2. A Pack of Leggings

Black is good. But colors are nice too.

3. A CD book voiced by it’s author.

Can someone recommend something to me? I’ve wanted to listen to a book for a while now. Don’t say Glenn Beck.

4. Pink Wig (Already coming in the mail! Gifts to self rock.)

5. Patience Pattern Tattoo

Probably won’t get this for a looong time. But isn’t it beautiful? I found it on a sewing website. I love the balance of lines and negative space. /nerd

6. Ice Cream.

Any of these flavors will do. Actually, any pink-colored ice cream is alright by me.

7. GWS Septum Pincher.

8. Libby Edelman Shoes!

I already have a similar pair of these in yellow and I love them to death. Plus, they’re on sale. Moar pls!

9. But really all I want for my birthday is a sunny day and twenty hugs and Dary & my family.

I don’t remember where I first heard it. It’s probably a combination of the famous Cool Hand Luke quote and other mumbo jumbo that’s been hanging out in my brain.

I went ice skating in Aliso Viejo. It was really fun! I fell like 4 times and got a pretty good workout. I also did a lap without leaning on anything (or anyone) or falling. Yay me! Now, for some poorly-lit photos:

me!

ice skates!

dary!

I don’t want alot of things, I actually have pretty modest tastes and have no problem with cheap clothes and stuff. But I’m materialistic and I still want things – like a pink wig. I had pink hair and I loved it. I don’t really know how to explain it, but it just makes me happy. When I look in the mirror with pink hair it feels as if I was born this way. I know, I know. This already sounds idiotic. If I could explain it better, I would. If I could not want it, I would. But I do want it. Maybe I should try to control my impulses better. Maybe I should manage my retail impulses, maybe I should listen to myself.

Whatever I do, I need to manage my wants and needs. Like set a limit of discretionary spending. I really really don’t spend that much on “wants”. Maybe 20-40 bucks a month, but I still end up beating myself up over it. It’s a psychological road block I can’t get passed.

For example, I waited over a year to buy a ring I wanted. I checked the product page almost every day for a year, hoping for a price reduction. After a year, they took ten dollars off the price and I bought it. Looking back, I would’ve been a lot more happier with my purchase If I would have gotten it then and payed the extra ten bucks. Don’t get me wrong, I like the ring, but I kind of over-analyzed it to the point where I feel guilty if I don’t wear this ring enough. I feel as if though I’ve ruined the prettiness of this ring with worrying about the money.

Noemi has issues. Noemi does not have a pink wig. Yet.
