Before we were bruised, before we cut loose.




Man oh man.


So, earlier as in five minutes or so ago, I read my friend Steven's blog. He had these really sensational boots posted and it certainly made me want to find some new boots. I've been wanting a pair of ankle boots for awhile minus the heel since I'm not a huge fan of them. Pictured above are a pair I found only minutes ago and I'd die to have them.



I'd also like to have a pair of these.



And these would probably be the only heels I would wear.




Ok ok.
Enough of shoes.



Side note #1: I watched a silent film tonight for one of my classes. Well, we watched two films actually, but the second was a Hitchcock film. It was entitled The Lodger. And usually silent films are accompanied by music, but this film was completely silent. No sound whatsoever. It was certainly an accomplishment staying awake. I don't recommend it. Not because it was silent, but the plot and cinematography weren't too appealing. Certainly not one to spend your free time on.


Side note #2: I'm applying for a job at AA either tomorrow or next week.


Side note #3: I saw MAN MAN last night. I think it was by far the best show I have seen this year, if ever. This is certainly something I recommend. The things these boys use to produce sounds amazed me. At one point, they poured water into a metal bowl. I know that doesn't sound amazing, but trust me. It was as if they incorporated every aspect except the kitchen sink.

Make you notice with purpose.


History is so time consuming.
However, I have become extremely interested in the Black Death.
Abandoning relatives to save oneself to merely come back to a village and starve to death.
How ironic.
Pictured above is a physician taking precautions before examining a patient. Covered from head to toe along with a bird-like mask, the doctors believed the virus was spread through touch.



Side note: I'm thinking about transferring.

Tell me all the rules, girl.

I think I'm going to paint my bike.
Possibly purple, but not a lavender shade.
More like a royal purple.
Well, now I'm not too sure.

Don't speak to me about where I lay my head.

As of lately, my time has consisted of Lifetime and hot tea. Of course there is the occasional Bravo network program, but mostly just hate-filled feminist movies/series. It certainly rekindles the nostalgia of eighth grade and the years of high school as my best friend and I would spend our Saturdays watching Lifetime movies that normally consist of teenage pregnancy, rape, physical abuse, or some other catastrophe plaguing women. What a week.
-------------
My friend told me this evening [SATURDAY OCTOBER 25] that a study was taken and it showed that people at an event who felt as if someone was listening to them, i.e. paying them attention, generally had a better time at said event. Now, this is relatively easy to grasp I'm sure and for the most part it's common sense, but think about how often we're at events or in a crowd and we just simply exist without interacting. I know I am clearly one of those people more than I would like to be. Such as earlier tonight for instance.

There was a bonfire at a friend's house with a good many people I'd say. I knew, for the most part, a good number of people in attendance, but I think I talked to maybe a handful if that. Also, by talking, I mean the casual 'hey' and 'how are you' conversations that normally lead to you just standing there idly by or with the other person walking off to converse with someone else. Now, I think if I really felt as if someone was going to listen, I would probably talk more. And perhaps I should be the one engaging people and stop existing. I just have to get out of that tiny box.

I listen more than I talk. Sometimes I wonder how bad that trait may be.


I need more hot tea.

I can hear the insects buzz...




Well, I think this is what I'm shooting for.

I think those leggings are just what I need as if I need anything.

Maybe then, you'll see.




Goodnight.

It's back.



So, the scarf I have been craving is finally back in circulation. Now, I just have to pick a color. I'm thinking the top scarf, navy and white, rather than the other two. However, green and yellow is a nice combination. Oh, and it has "You'll never rock alone" on the other side.

Oh, but to make things better, it's five feet long and seven inches wide.


In any case, my day has been made!
