so there's this little site...called polyvore. i'm in love.

i've never been a huge fashion junkie before, but i've always been creative. i like finding new things, old things, and wierd things. i like going out on a limb to wear something crazy, because i love it.

i have NEVER bought any top name brand clothes, nor do i ever plan on it.

i enjoy going to a thrift store and finding something special. i like mixing and matching. i can shop for cheap, and that's the way i like it.

but i definitely love making collages and such of things that represent me, which is why i love this site so much. so i decided to share my creations with you. it will give more of a meaning to this blog.

peace, love and tofu

"i ain't no damsel in distress, and i don't need to be rescued, so put me down punk."

dear body,

you are different. you've always known that. growing up, seeing images in the magazines, you've known you weren't built like that. i'm sorry you went through stages when you thought you weren't good enough, and tried to do all you could to look like the pictures in the magazines.

sometimes i look at you and wonder, what if i had been given a different body, maybe one like my sisters? but then i think...

i wouldn't be me.

i am who i am. you are part of me. you are curvy, short, muscular, not skin and bone. you are cute. you are not mainstream image. you have a horrible time finding jeans, because you are a dancer, with real legs. you might not have abs, but you have a strong laughing muscle. you are unique, and that's me.

you, body, are beautiful. and mirrors should not be your enemy. love yourself, and i promise i will too.

"i'm a shake you off though, get up on that horse and ride into the sunset, look back with no remorse."

hey boy
why you didn't call me?

A. you're gay
B. you've got a girlfriend
C. you kinda thought i came on too strong or
D. i just wasn't your thing

great lines from one of my favorites, the blow. as some people may know, i'm on a journey. i'm on a journey of self discovery, freedom, creative adventure, and finding me, my muse, my flow of uniqueness and that little ball of power within me. i've recently been reading, listening, and watching my idols. in no particular order;

ani difranco
julie andrews
jane austen
harper lee
audrey hepburn
emma smith
karen carptenter
sierra kusterbeck
helena bonham carter
barbara streisand

these ladies are my examples. they are brilliant, and i hope to meet them in the afterlife. i've never really declared myself a feminist, but the past year or so i've been finding that i have feministic qualities and beliefs, even if i'm not a full fanatic.

i used to think my personality was that of a hopeless romantic. i liked it until i got my heart bruised a little more than i wanted. i do believe i'll find "the one" at the right time. but i'm going to let it happen on it's own. and until them i'm on my own. and i'm ok with that, finally! i'm no longer dependent on any guy, and i don't feel a void that has to constantly be filled.

i don't date. nope. not anymore. i'm forgetting it. there's so much for me to do! and so many places for me to go, and so many things for me to learn. about life, and me.

i want to meet new people. i want to become friends with a foreigner. i want to have adventures and do spontaneous things. i want to run up to a cute stranger in the middle of a crowd, and kiss him, then runaway. i want to go skydiving. i want to go to ireland and meet a musician in a pub. i want to see the world, meet the world, experience the world, and become the best me i can possibly be before i meet that significant other. and i hope he does the same, so we can be the best us.

peace, love, and tofu.

"i thought of you and where you'd gone and let the world spin madly on..."

good evening blogging world. this is my first official "blog" even though i've been old fashioned blogging my whole life. with just my pen and paper.

i'm an old fashioned girl. ya know? i always imagined myself in another time, era, place. i always thought my personality was better suited for the a lady in the renaissance time, a flapper/jazz singer in the 20's, or a music/peace guru in the 60's. but i suppose i was put here on this earth for this time. and i'm loving life nonetheless.

my entries to this blog will be scattered. sometimes organized, but mostly a general idea of my thoughts, beliefs, emotional high's and low's, and dreaming vapors.

let me explain why i don't capitalize anything. one of my favorite poets of all time is e.e. cummings. he was infamous for never capitalizing anything. and i admire that. so i have adopted it and it fits me quite well.

i will also title every one of my posts with a lyric line from one of my favorite songs at the moment. if you can guess the song/artist without cheating (googling the line) then i'll give you a brownie.

or at least brownie points.

anywho, i've got relatives in the next room here to celebrate the weekend and i suppose i should attend to them.

peace, love, and tofu.
