Random is good.

My thoughts are everywhere. Oooookay. FIRST. Listen to this song while you read. 

I've been on a Mumford kick lately. 

So. Today while I was sitting in the library sipping a Starbucks my brother so thoughtfully bought me, I noticed this girl's hair. And it occurred to me how bad I want long hair. Then I thought back through my WHOLE life, and I realized, every time I even get remotely close to having long hair, I always cut it. my excuse? "I can always grow it back out." 

Ok, confession time. I look dreadful with short hair. So I have no idea why I always fall for my lame excuse.

So, I am making it a goal of mine to actually grow it out. I can't even wait. 

Work. I love my job. I love working retail. I love being around clothes and all that. Even though most of it isn't exactly my style, I still love it.

My back is feeling better. The stitches itch like its a joke. And I'm a little sad I don't get crazy on Lortab. But such is life. 

So I really just love seafood. 

I secretly want a boyfriend. Sometimes I think about all the reasons why I shouldn't. Then I just forget all those reasons and say I want one really bad. Having one by Christmas would be nice. I've always wanted to try kissing under the mistletoe. Plus there are like a million shirts I want to buy. But I have no boyfriend to give them to. 

Now because of the Holidays coming up...

mmm and the original too.

This song always makes me think of Eskimos. I have no clue why. Love it. Looooove. Love it.

Oh oh oh oh. Moving is not anything like what I was hoping. I just wanted to move in all in like a weekend. But this is probably going to take forever. I never even realized how much stuff is in my house. It's almost disturbing. 

And then SOMEONE got me stuck on City and Colour again.

 Last song, I swear.

Yeah. That's it. That's all. 

Oh ha, besides the fact that I am way too glad it is Thanksgiving break. 

Me and my bed are getting reacquainted. I can't wait.

Success.

Where to start... well? I will save the best for last. So let's start at the beginning.

This girl? She is darling. 

Happy belated Halloween to you.

So me and Erin decided to make homemade Caramel Apples. For the first time ever. Delicious.

The only problem? We didn't cook the caramel long enough. It was a little runny. So we ended up rolling a ton of it.

After that, Halloween got super crazy. YOLO.

Anyways.

Today. Today was amazing. I am working on another piece. This is my test run for it...

I'm going to change a ton of things. So it will end up being amazing. It is supposed to be showing how when people look at you, before they really see you, they see how you dress. Yeah, this was definitley a test run.

 Now for my big news.

I GOT A JOB!!!

 I am officially an employee of Rue 21. "My name is Alexis and I rue, do you?" That's how we answer the phone.

Haha, sooo cheesy I know. I know. But hey, its a job right? 

I have been trying to get a job for a while now. Not super hard or anything. But still. It finally got to the point where I was determined to get one. And with in three days, I had one. 

Not a super ideal one, considering it's only seasonal, which honestly, is so devastating.  But right now, that's all anyone is hiring for. So you know what folks? I'll take it. 

Plus I'm pretty sure I'm already two of the managers' favorite. And they know I want to stay on more permanently. So let's cross our fingers. 

I just want a real job. Where I get paid real money. And can have a real life. With a real boyfriend. And soon, move out into my real apartment. And have a real life. Did I mention that already? Yep. Well there you go. 

Punkin' Chunkin'

It's fall. And in fall, people carve pumpkins. So hello. This is me and my pumpkin.

And this is everyone else.

 

 And these are the delicious pumpkin seeds that I made from everyone's pumpkins. 

They are sort of addicting. And I now have a ton of them. I'm soooo going to be sick of them by about... oooh tomorrow. 

There's an App for That.

So I happen to love my phone very much. Well sometimes. It's kind of a love-hate relationship. My phone can be very temperamental. But's it's mine. So I love it. See how that works?

Any who! So lately me and the app store have been getting to be very close friends. And I had the genius idea to find a daily yoga app. You should all be quite proud. I've been doing yoga daily. And I am in love with it. This morning however, my body wasn't. Today I was so sore. I never really thought yoga would make my body ache and hurt so much. But that means it's working right? Or it just shows how lazy I've been. The truth hurts. Literally. 

Today my Horoscope says, "Get started on something new today, your energy insists upon it! You should find that things start to go your way pretty quickly." (Yes I love my horoscope, and yes, it's another app I use almost daily) How right it was. I started this pretty thing.. I'm quite proud. I completely made her up. All by myself. She obviously isn't finished, but still.  

Oh by the way, I looove hiking. If you haven't yet been up to see the leaves, you are missing out. I went over fall break, and I loved it way too much. I've never been so excited for it to be fall. Ever. All I can think about is the leaves, pumpkins, spiced Chai lattes, and the fact that Christmas is coming. I've heard Juice N' Java has a yummy pumpkin spiced Chai. I really need to go try it. 

My First Piece

I know.

It took me long enough right?

 Basically my whole Fall Break has been devoted to my art. Between research, brainstorming, trial and error, hiking to locations, and taking self portraits. It's been interesting.

As far as the thought behind it, it obviously is about my journey through life. That's all I really want to say. I think pieces should be left open to interpretation.
