Dead Wrong

Oh boy, now you didn't see that one coming, now did you? You just thought this was a place to look at pretty pictures and read words that are essentially meanlingless text. But you were wrong, weren't you?

Dead wrong.

Forgvie Me

Forgive my general rant-like, rude before yesterday. I don't know what came over me. I'm terribly sorry, I feel as if I slapped you in the face. Pardon me, pardon me.

Ha! You think I was being sincere? Ha! What a nimkimpoop.

What is your purpose?

What are you really good for? Hm? Why do I feel a responsibility to this blog, when I can't even figure out your purpose? Hm? Tell me, tell me that.

And Rainbow, who is this Rainbow character? Who are you? And what are you doing?

Halloween Costumes: Vamps

As the days get closer to Halloween, I'm scrambling to figure out what to be. I think the obvious choice, with all the Twilight mania, would be a vampire. Here's some vampire-themed items (via Etsy) I've been mulling over. What do you think?

Warm clothing time!

It's gotten so cold these days, so I really need to find some warm, pretty clothes for the fall and upcoming winter seasons. Here's what I'm eyeing today:

Etta Hat

Cowl


Tea for Two Jacket


Sailor Dress


Scrunch Boots


(I think we can all tell what colors I like, no?)


*Rainbow*

Baby-time!

This post is inspired by my new job at The Littlest Birds (TLB) (read about them here!)

TLB sales many local baby products made by local artists. Among the artists sold is Roly Poly. Check out their stuff on Etsy:

Pocket Diapers

Lunch Packs

And so much more!

Decorating my new apt...

In less than a month me and my beau will be moving into a new place. Where exactly, you ask? Right now, it's all up in the air. We are frantically searching for one before we get booted out of our current apt. But when I'm not running around in circles looking for something affordable and decent, I'm dreamily wasting time on Etsy looking for items to decorate my soon-to-be-new home with.

Blue Mason Jars

Parisian Pillows

Vintage Coat Rack

New theme!

The theme of this blog (in general) will now be...drum roll, please...

Arts & Crafts! (Most likely mostly from Etsy, the most awesomest store EVER!) To start off the new theme of this blog, we'll start out with...clothing because I am most certainly in need of some new clothing.

Bamboo and Cotton Camisole and Pantie by Sandmaiden


Vintage Jumper from Paramount Vintage


Hot skirt made by Laugh434 on BurdaStyle

Having a job

(Source.)

Yes, indeed. I'd like to have a job. Many jobs, if need be. And my specialty? Writing. I can write with the best of them. Ok , that may be a bit of an exaggeration. But I can write about anything! I've had lots of experience writing about whatever, so give me a job! I'll write your wildest dreams! :)

*Rainbow*

some changes

(Source.)

I'm thinking about changing the theme of this blog. Any ideas or comments?

*Rainbow*

Herbs

(Source.)

I'm interested in herbs and all of their possible uses, medicinally, in cooking or for their [not so] pleasing aromas.

*Rainbow*

Laziness

(Source.)

I dislike laziness and being unproductive. I must be doing something worthwhile, almost always. Or else.

*Rainbow*

Astrology

(Source.)

I am interested in astrology. I'm just such a sucker for it. And while it's not my Bible, I think quite a bit of lays true for me. I'm a Pisces and it's simply in my nature to buy into it. And I buy into without an ounce of shame. :)

*Rainbow*

Cleaning

(Source.)

Today is a like and a dislike.

I like and dislike to clean house. It's a great feeling after you do it and it can be quite therapeutic (sometimes). But it can also a terrible annoyance. I don't know about you, but I would rather watch a good film than clean the toilet.

*Rainbow*

Naps

(Source.)

I like to take naps. And yesterday when I got home from eating a picnic w/my parents and the beau, all I wanted to do was take a nap. Food=nap. And nap=peace.

Sweet dreams
*Rainbow*

Tinker

(Source.)

I really like the word tinker. It has such a musical sound when it is said. And like the idea of someone who "tinkers" in different hobbies. I think I may have the makings of a tinker. ;)

*Rainbow*

Fireworks

I like fireworks! And on this 4th of July who doesn't?!

(Source.)

Happy 4th!

Kite Runner

I'm reading the Kite Runner currently. So far, it's absolutely brilliant and heart-breaking. It's a must-read.

writing over computer typing

(Via flickr.)

After being a writer for many years and more recently becoming an online writer addict, I have decided that I like to write with a pen on a paper more than typing on the computer.

There is an organic and natural feeling about it. It feels like what I'm writing is incredibly more important and intelligent than the snap thoughts I convey on the computer. The main drawback, though, is that it takes way more time. I write slower than I type and then if I want to put what I wrote on paper on the computer it takes even more time to transcribe the text.

Nevertheless, I like writing with pen & paper. :)

Link Lovin'

I like me some link love. I received an email just the other day from Michelle of HiEyeglasses praising my blog and asking if she could link to my blog.

(Via we heart it.)

"But of course," I said.

And that's that. Check out Michelle's site, I need new glasses, so I might have to take a longer look at HiEyeglasses.

Photos

I [really, really, really] like photos and photos of peeps taking photos and polaroids. All these things I [really, really, really] like (i.e. love). Here are some examples:

I'd like to not say this

(Source.)

I'd like to not say this but I've got to take a short break from here. It should be just a week. I've got to get my life a bit more organized. Have to find me a job - or some source of income. So bye for now, but not for forever in the least.

*Rainbow*

Hungry w/out adequate supplies

I dislike being hungry but having nothing in the kitchen to eat. It usually happens near the end of the week for me.

(Source.)

I make a grocery menu/list for the upcoming week on Saturdays, and then we buy our groceries on either that day or Sundays. So by the time Saturday comes around, I'm looking around the fridge and pantry, looking something to snack on, but - alas - there is nothing to be found. These are sad times when they occur.

*Rainbow*

Tumblr

(Source.)

I am interested in Tumblr. I just discovered. Literally, just right now. It seems akin to Twitter, which adore because it's so easy, smooth and pretty to look at. Oh, and it's also been a great networking site for me to meet new awesome people. So we'll see.

*Rainbow*

Intelligent conversation

(Source.)

I like having intelligent conversations. Something stimulating. Maybe about poetry? Or the war? Or how about how to save the world? Or maybe even about Anais Nin and Henry Miller's fascinating relationship?...Yes, please.

*Rainbow*

Complications

(Source. I'm really digging Dorellana's photos this week.)

I dislike complications. But who does?

*Rainbow*

Sunshine's warmth

(Source.)

I am interested in it being consistently warm again. I love spring and summer and the warmth one feels when the sun shines down on you. It is glorious. It is inspiring. It is energizing.

*Rainbow*

French music

(Source.)

I like listening to French music. My beau is French, so I'd say the influence is quite obvious.

Some of my favorites are:
-Manu Chao
-George Brassens
-Carla Bruni

*Rainbow*

Not saying "thank you"

I dislike when people don't say "thank you." I encountered this multiple times today. I don't know if it's this weather that are putting people in a rude mood or what.

(Source.)

But I did hold the door open for this guy today and looked right at him and smiled as he walked in, and he didn't say single word. Hurrumph. See I hold the door for him again.

*Rainbow*

Writing [a] book[s]

I am interested in writing a book (or 2 or 3).

(Source.)

I have somehow created this image of myself as being a writer (mostly in newspapers and blogs). But I do actually have aspirations to be a real "writer." I have many book ideas that I'm trying to explore. The 1st one I'd like to write is about how to go Sustainable DIY-Style. How's that sound to ya?

*Rainbow*

Harry Potter

I like Harry Potter! (I've been feeling a bit Harry Potter-crazy lately - I can't stop talking about it!).

(Part of the cast & crew. [source.])

If you haven't read/seen/listened to any of the Harry Potter series, I strongly recommend you do it - NOW.

*Rainbow*

Wasting

I dislike wasting things. And I don't like seeing people waste either. I was raised in one of those families where you ate everything on your plate, you took full advantage of everything you had and you just didn't throw away anything (unless you absolutely had to).

(Source.)

So when I see my boyfriend not finish his food or see him throw away something that could have gotten a couple more uses out of it, I inwardly pitch a fit. It's something I'm working on. ;)

*Rainbow*

My own business(s)

I am interested in owning my own business one day. There are so many ideas floating around in my head, it's hard to pick one that I like more than any of the others.

(Source.)

Beer & Laundry? Local craft store? Green product store? A combination thereof? Only time will tell.
