i'm on a pretty strict goodwill diet and that suits me just fine. i love walking in and leaving with something i had no idea i wanted. lil things that excite me. some people fear change. i can't help but change all the freak'n time. probably why people fear me. unexpected is home.
and when i don't have enough randomness things get dark in my mind... and then people fear me more. such a damn vicious cycle i am in with humans.
i've worn this quite a bit lately. was running errands yesterday and realized i was rollin down yolo st!!! wth... yeah... so i had to snap a few photos in my current favorite lazy cadet outfit. and yes i am wearing a tie dyed bra, shorts, socks and laces... cuz tie dye makes me happy.
i mean you only live once right??? hahaha...
so life has been interesting. the truth is i've vacillated on disabling comments or even not blogging. because i've attracted a hater and at first it was kinda bugging. but then i realized some of the greatest things have happened to me recently because of my blog. i've made some really talented, smart and kind friends through this lil piece of the internet. even if i never hung out with them again they have changed my life. truth is i've never had many girlfriends. i know that makes a lot of girls skeptical but it's true. i grew up for the better part of my childhood with my dad and siblings. i was an outcast, different. didn't have the tender hands of a mother to braid my hair or make sure i didn't look crusty. and then in high school i had a really hard time with the cattiness. boys liked me. we got along. it was simple. but i've always felt somewhat alone. so just knowing that all the fucking amazing humans i've met are out there being themselves no matter what the world tries to impose on us makes me smile. and it makes me more me in a weird way. it's like i've found the rest of the freak show. thanks for being brave. thanks for not changing because it would make life easier or make someone else feel more comfortable with their pathetic thoughts.
so go ahead and hate and tell me that i shouldn't dress the way i do and that karma is gonna get me... but in the end i think karma might give you a lil surprise for being the kind of foolio that stalks strangers on the net.
peace out
i'll leave you with this. you only live once.
Oooooh
Some people think they're always right
Others are quiet and uptight
Others they seem so very nice nice nice nice nice oh oh
life has been so strange. but it's odd that i expect otherwise, it's been strange since the beginning for me. what an odd human trait... that we hope something against all odds. have faith in people that have consistently let us down. think things will change when they haven't for years.
the only thing we are in control of is ourselves. why the need to control anything else???
i wanna change my hair... this always happens when i feel this way. soooo question is what should i do???

today i made homemade marinara... and it was a success :) and it was easy :) i don't cook by recipe but since this was a first for me i loosely followed this one. i am in the process of trying to minimize my processed food intake... i think i may start making a big jar/pot and use it throughout the week. it's perfect to spread on bread, over your favorite veggies or on a sandwich. ok, now i'm hungry.
quite often lately blogging has made me feel yucky... yet another place where i didn't belong...
BUT i really have been quite surprised and inspired lately. i've found some bloggers that really inspire me and not just with their clothes and style, but with guts, ideas, individuality and most importantly daring to be unique in this world of fashion blogging. they are feminists, activists, thought provoking and real. and i no longer (or at least at the moment) feel like i shouldn't be blogging. i'm just going to blog about what i want to. i'm not the best writer... i mean i can hardly contain or organize my thoughts in any kind of cohesive flow, but whatever. i'm pretty much a crazy space cadet... that daydreams of mermaids, burritos and painting water color bunnies with wings... sooooo yeah.
for a long time i've been thinking of having a clothing swap. i've never done more than think about it though. it just seemed too hard to put together and i didn't really know anyone who would want to do it. but i thought i'd throw it out there and see what you think. specifically l.a. grrls. i mean i love thrifting, flea marketing, ebaying and etsy, but it seems like another way to promote 2nd hand clothing in a different forum. we all get bored of our clothes and most of us have more than we need right? anyhow let me know if you'd be interested. i think it'd be fun.
still...
dying over this romper.... thanks casey. 12 freak'n buckaroos
ok. i'm done.
