Hey Strangers, just jammin' out tonight...dancing around the living room apartment, as you do. Here's what I'm dancing to, the sexiest ginger alive.

and just because I have an insanely obsessive personality....

Come on, more obsessive than that even!

Alright, have a goodnight guys!

Separation Anxieties

Have you ever felt that feeling of an  almost overwhelming sense of loneliness or loss? Sadness brought on  by an indefinite separation of you and something awesome? Well that's what it feels like when you have one semi anti-social twin living in gloomy Seattle, WA and her more outgoing counterpart staying with her boyfriend in sunny Orlando, FL. I know I can survive without her, after all we lived in separate states while we were off "studying" at various Universities. This is different. This feels almost permanent.

 

I was telling my co-worker the other day that it's as though my left arm has been amputated. I don't need my left arm, I don't even use it that often considering I'm a rightly. But I feel off balance and ugly without it. She left on Sunday morning and now I'm sitting here wondering whats next for me. I'm craving change as I usually do after about 8 months of routine. And I'm thinking it should be a drastic one!

 

I'll let you know what new experiences are in store for me in the future, what decisions I make, and when! Granted I'm absolutely broke right now so it will be a while before any action is taken. But I look forward to planning and day dreaming about what's to come.

When I'm Lost in my Bedroom

There are many little luxuries that go along with some quality time spent alone. For example, there is the liberty of walking around with no pants on, or breaking into wild, manic dance at any given second, there's the ability to think aloud and not worry about how it looks or sounds, and of course there is always the pleasure of wasting precious hours on Tumblr. No interactions with actual humans, yet still feeling a little social; I can spend hours endlessly scrolling through Tumblr. Pages and pages of beautiful pictures and quotes hold my mind and imagination captive. Most importantly though, I get to blast music while "surfing" - does anybody "surf" the web anymore? Is that still an acceptable term? Whatever, on tumblr it sure as hell exists! 

Here is a link to my Tumblr page !!!!!!!!!! - although the real magic resides in my "hearts" or "favorites" section that as we all know is completely private. That's actually what I like most about it. I always say that my actual Tumblr blog is for the pictures/posts that I like enough to reblog, that I feel say something about who I am and what my aspirations, goals, and personality are like. Then the other section, the private one, is for the posts I feel truly speak to the deepest part of my soul; the part I wouldn't share to the public because they may not understand.

Anyway, moving on from this awful rant about Tumblr...

Having these little breaks of solitude really allows you to reach deep within yourself. It's a reflective time and at the very least a time that allows you to draw on a little inspiration. One thing that always gets my creative juices flowing is music. I listen to it while I'm in the shower, while I'm looking for new apartments, while I sleep even! I imagine these impossible day-dreams that only make sense when set with an amazing song. Does anyone else do that? I mean really day dream, dream so hard that you build this entire life experience filled with friends you've never met, in a setting you've never lived, wearing clothes that you may never own!? No? I'm sounding a bit like a schizophrenic aren't I...Ah well, that is the beauty that is my imagination. I get lost in it more than I'm comfortable admitting to. But enough mumble-jumble. Here is one artist who's music has been feeding my dreams for a few weeks now!

Last Time I'll do This....I Promise

Happy Thursday everyone! You know what Thursday means? That's right, just one more day until the weekend!! Unless, that is, you're like me and taking this Thursday off spending it out of the office. Hey, I have my reasons I promise! But I thought I'd seize this opportunity to do something that I normally find insanely annoying and redundant. THROW BACK THURSDAY. You hate me now right? Don't worry I won't blame you for closing out of this window now. 

For those of you sticking around here are some pictures from the past. 2013 was a long year! The early half was spent in New England with my sister and her boyfriend, then the later half in Seattle - my new home. All in all it wasn't an extremely eventful year, I worked a lot and learned a lot but am looking forward to experiencing more this year! Here are some photos you might remember; most were published on the domain my sister and I used to share before parting ways in the blogging world. 

Many train rides from New Haven to New York this was early January last year

"This is my rock look!" haha have you seen Jennifer's Body? 

This was an outfit I wore to a concert in Poughkeepsie NY

...Then there was Nemo, the blizzard that drove us to cabin fever in early February

Burrrr.

Later that month when the snow melted my roomies and I found this amazing trail not far from our house. The view was gorgeous! New Haven, Connecticut February

After several months without a computer I finally made the big purchase. Boy, did it hurt my wallet. 

"You make my heavy metal-heart beat, beat ooh"

Our last trip to New York City was a museum filled one. The MoMA and The Metropolitan

Then Grace and I moved to Seattle... to the land of plenty thrift shops, delicious coffee, and the most pretentious people you will ever meet. 

Sorry it was so lengthy. But That was pretty much my year. Tons of music shows, a little traveling, and too much working (obviously I didn't take photos at work zZzZz).

Just a Quick Hello

wearing Beyond Threads boucle tunic, Free People voile & lace Slip, Steve Madden troopa, Baggu medium leather tote. 

Yesterday was a very long day; filled with familiar faces, shopping, a big pot of fondue (lets be honest...there were two pots), some goodbyes, and ending the night with a hot bubble bath and me passing out on my sofa to the movie Mean Girls. I love Saturdays. This is a pic my sister took on our way out of the Melting Pot in Belltown. This cozy sweater nearly put me in a coma on multiple instances- cozy is a theme you might soon notice with me.

A New Year Brings New Beginnings

Good morning to all! I wanted to take a moment to discuss the future. It seems that towards the end of each year everyone starts to prepare for "whats next". I find that making plans and budgets, reassessing ideas or decisions, and reflecting on what is past, to be very relaxing and almost therapeutic. So I'm sure you can imagine that the prospect of a fresh start is very exciting to me! Now of course it's easy to get carried away with dreams of what is still to come - putting the present on the back burner and not enjoying the spectacular now (go see that movie), BUT that is why I try my absolute best to make room for both my dreams and my day-to-day life. I try to soak in the time that I spend with my friends and family, or walking around this beautiful city in which I live, and to really learn from it and enjoy it. But when I'm home alone, most likely staring out my massive living room window or listening to music, I consider all of the wonderful adventures I might have later in life; where I'll go next, who I'll meet, what I'll be wearing when I meet them. And those day dreams truly are what help me sleep at night.

I have many hopes for the new year. I'd like to get a cheaper apartment, that's on the top of my priorities. Perhaps I'll go back to school too, I still have one year left but this break from the classroom has been wonderful and I'm not positive about whether or not I even want to go back. But I have applied to transfer to a couple of places, just to keep my options open; I'll talk more on that subject later.  I think something that I'm really lacking currently is a girlfriend or group of girlfriends to share secrets with, get dressed up with and do all of the other lovely,girly things that I enjoy so much. I'd say making friends in Seattle is second on my list of priorities (after the apartment of course). Taking a trip or two would be awesome as well! I suppose it can't hurt to earn some more cash then too... 

With all of that said, I guess the main thing that I wanted to talk about today is this blog right here, if you're reading this then I am happy! And my only goal for this is to keep you reading and engaged for the rest of the year. I plan on posting a minimum of twice a week. I'd like to do one photo-heavy post and one writing-heavy post each week. I know not a lot of people are too interested in reading my lengthy rants so I will incorporate a video or pictures as well, but for the most part those sort of posts are meant to show you more of who I am as a person and to improve my writing and communication skills...I tend to be a bit of a shut-in. So there you have it! What do you think? What are your plans for the New Year?

Until next time, xoxo.

It's a New Year Strangers

And I am making it my mission to do this shit the right way. 

But first, How was your New Year's Eve celebration? Was it as awesome as mine? Whether you stayed at home eating comfort food and watching your favorite movie, went on a romantic date with your lover, or got down with your besties - I hope you enjoyed it. As far as my activities went, I wasn't able to take pictures at the party...I mean, I could have but I prefer to live in that moment completely rather than through a lens. But here are some pictures of my awesome outfit from the pre-pre-party at my tiny apartment in Seattle. 

^It was a...cheeky New Year Party^

And I do promise, I wasn't on my phone the entire night. It just happens to be that my sister could only seem to capture me during those times. Anyway, if you're my friend on the old Facebook you can see more photos from the pre-pre-party as well as the pre-party. And if you're not...well you'll have to wait until my next photo post to see me and my friends! Which I promise you will not be in July, contrary to my previous blogging habits this year I am going to try to be more productive with this. Tomorrow night I'll let you know my plans in a bit more detail, until then xoxo

ps. New Year Resolution #1....

No more of this.
