I totally got mad when my email composer wouldn't show the "Set Custom Time" option. So gullible.
It's make or break
And so draws to a close my spring break.Thoughts of neon, florals, college, high heels, and tiaras float through my head.I recently discovered how to use bobby pins. Call me pathetic. Look at the ridiculous pile of hair on my head! And the flyaways! And the lumpiness! And the glasses that are too big for my face that I wear anyway because they make me feel very Yeah I Know I'm Wearing Really

WetSeal kind of makes me laugh. Case in point: the necklace below, which, while not inherently ugly, has a terrible name:Above, Ethnic Donut Necklace, $8 at WetSeal
I want to be a Bruin
I want to be one of 38,000. I want to celebrate blue and gold. I want to participate in the Undie Run. It would give me an excuse to find ruffled boyshorts.Y'know I just realized that I am one out of the 60ish (I say 60ish because I know the final class size will be around 65, but I don't know how many students they accept and how many students decline their admission) applicants chosen for UCLA's undergrad theater program. Out of 1500ish applicants. Uh, that's a 4% admit rate. Uh, EXPLETIVE. While most of those 1500 are acting applicants, that 4% still scares me.My mom still wants me
Disappointment never smelled so sweet
So I bought a copy of Lucky at the airport because the last page had a sample of The Beat (new Burberry perfume of which Agyness Deyn is the face) and because I have a girlcrush on Aggy and I really like Burberry London. I rubbed it all over my wrists and waited.I am disappointed. It smells way too sweet.
An Open Letter
Dear David Archuleta,Despite your really strange song choice last week, and despite my being in the bathroom puking just as you came on, please, take me to prom. Marry me. Serenade me outside my window. I turn eighteen in September, but you're only three months behind. Take me to a fifties'-style diner. We can share a milkshake and curly fries. In case you ever read this, here are pictures
I am dry
I need lotion.Please watch the One Semester of Spanish Spanish Love Song video.I want to write technical manuals. My first one will be a guide for blue-collar workers. I will call it The Manual Labor Manual.I just had a very weird experience in the shower. One of our shower doors is broken (they're the sliding kind), so my mom stuck a sign on it that says "Do not touch this door!" She used the back of a bad copy of my APES field study draft, so when you're in the shower, you can read my field study taped to the shower door. It's especially weird when it's slightly fogged up.I also accide
Question
Is it a blogger courtesy to reply to comments in your own comments section? Is there a blogger code of conduct?In other news, Obama is leading in current Gallup polls.And this is probably the best sweepstakes I've ever heard of: "Awkward Moments" sponsored, I think, by NBC.And here's an outfit:Above, turtleneck: mother's. Necklace: Urban Outfitters, gift. Green slip: FCUK, vintage. Pants: Gap
need to sleep
Y'know, San Francisco is an awful lot colder than LA.I got into Cal. It came out before 5 PM. Just goes to show how all the speculation about when decisions come out is really just speculation.I got into Cal, but I think I'm going to UCLA.I can't stop smiling.I think I'm going to hack out a lung soon.Can I do theater for the rest of my life? Do I suck at it? Can I make money? I don't know. In the words of Miss Elphaba,"It's time to trust my instincts, Close my eyes and leap."[edit: This post did not sound so incoherent to me when I wrote it.]
To clear out my camera
Here are all my "it seemed like a good idea at the time" or "please forgive me for not sleeping" outfits, mostly from sophomore and junior years:Above, headband: gift. Dark green longsleeve: Old Navy. Chopped up t-shirt: Cirque du Soleil (Varekai). Belt: Old Navy. Chopped up maroon corduroys: something from Macy's. Pink tights: Hue, Nordstrom. This outfit is awfully chopped up. While the c

Or, I'm not dead.[edit: a post I wrote while still in LA. Forgive me. I have been out of the blogosphere for almost a week now.]Oh, I am a bad blogger already. So I've been sick since Thursday and in LA since Sunday. I started my antibiotics on Tuesday, so I am, like, conscious and not puking today (Wednesday). Excellent! I bought some stuff from Nordstrom Rack that isn't very exciting. An
I'm a disgrace...
...but I'm going to try to make up for it by posting an inordinate amount now that I'm back home and not puking.My friend said to check out Idol Vintage, but don't get excited because I haven't yet. Yelp makes it sound too hipster-y. And I prefer to dig through gross piles of clothing myself, not buy from a hand-picked stock. Where's the fun in that?!
Ridunkulous
I am sick, and I am in LA, and it is warm outside but I am cold.I might be visiting the UCLA campus sometime this week.Rehearsal isn't so bad.I am so sick.I love the airport.I am not dead.I forgot my laptop charger, and my laptop can't connect to the wireless here, so I'm on my brother's laptop.Tater (short for Tater Tot), my cousin's dog, has shed all over my corduroy skinnies.I am watching The Phantom of the Opera on Wednesday.Cal comes out Thursday. I have rehearsal on Thursday.Waste of a post!
Week's Worth
Here is this past week's worth of outfits.MondayAbove, scarf: mother's. Longsleeve: Target. Blue spiderman t-shirt: Target. Pants: Gap (skinny black pants). Socks: H&M. This was my St. Patrick's Day outfit. It made sense in my head that if I wore blue and yellow, I would be wearing green. Oh well. I had green panties on.TuesdayAbove, cropped jacket: gift, can't be bothered to check th

So tired
It's only 11:45ish and I am this close to dying. And I have rehearsal tomorrow. Oh EXPLETIVE. Here is an outfit post for taking-a-break's sake.Above, sweater: brother's, Old Navy. Longsleeve peeking out: JC Penney. Dress: mother's. Tights: generic drugstore brand. Socks: gift.
OUCH
Just like that time I bought these flats for Junior Prom:From some tiny store in the Haight-Ashbury for something like $55, only to find them on the now-defunct (I guess) girlshop on clearance for $15......a little while ago I bought this dress from some tiny store in the Haight-Ashbury for $75......and I just found it (above, Multi Tier Sleeveless Dress) on the Forever21 website for $32.80.Ouch.
Who would ever need to know...
...the carbon dioxide factor (pounds of carbon dioxide per unit) for urban vs. intercity buses? I hate APES.I cut my hair again yesterday and it looks a lot better. Less flat. Huzzah! I am not a hair-cutting failure!Sleeping late is bad for you. My gums have started bleeding again. This is bad.And I've been getting random severe vertigo when I walk.I am posting this now so that, for the record, I have posted today.Rumors are telling me that UCLA is coming out in two days, not nine. Oh my.
Oh yeah...
...and here's something fashion-related, because that was the original purpose of this blog.My American Eagle for Payless flats, which I never wear despite how cheap they were because they hurt like the shiz:And an outfit that totally involves me not wearing pants. Scandalous!Above, turtleneck: mother's. Jumper: bloom (Is that just some minor brand? I'd never heard of it until I bought this).

HOMG I haz comment from Noel at MissCouturable! I can sleep happy now! I should really track my comments instead of manually checking them! Exclamation points! I should stop complaining about college! I spent 8 hours making a 3-D version of a 1Up mushroom (from Super Mario)! A graph rotated about the x-axis cut into 25 slices! I hate calculus! Mr. Chan, I hate you! (But not really!)Oh ye
