*seppie*

YOU GUYS.

sorry for the extra-long hiatus of keeping y'all upd8d on my life.

it's just that i've been doing TOO MANY FUN THINGS which take up a lot of time.

this week iiiiiiiii

1. saw mamma mia outside in a park. the movie, not the play. although the play would've been considerably more noteworthy, but only because i've seen the movie 129384 times. you're probably wondering if it was the sing-along version and yes, it was. plenty of ppl felt the desire to sing the entire movie in full voice, but i didn't sing along for two reasons: because i was too busy being cold, and because i don't like to overpower pierce brosnan's beautiful vocal talents.

2. went to sea world in san diego with my pal from shreveport charles~~~

AND TOUCHED A DOLPHIN. FEELS LIKE RUBBER AND MAGIC

3. saw dawes at the santa monica pier

4. and saw tonsss of bands at fyf fest yesterday. "fyf" stands for "fuck yeah fuck-all-those-other-bands-because-girls-killed-it" do y'all know girls>>>> you should because they're gr8999

also cults was rad. smith westerns. cold war kids. nbd

if you were wondering what other fun things i have planned for the upcoming week, i AM seeing band of horses on thursday and i AM seeing the national on sunday.

also i can never get the internet at my apartment EVER AGAIn because the wireless i sometimes used to "borrow" has a brand new password. rude.

this means i have to use the internet at coffee bean and other places.

i'll try to get here more often bbs

luv u miss u all y'all~

SEW LA

can't even believe i forgot to show you guys this bag i sewed at my first ever sewing class!

clearly i chose the most beautiful fabric

i really am quite the prodigal seamstress~

can't w8 2 make tons of gr8 itemz

cArMaGeDdOn~*~*~*~

hey all y'all!

this weekend, the one that just happened, while everyone else in the city gone completely crayyzay over the 405 bridge closure aka ~*~*~cArMaGeDdOn~*~ aka THE END OF THE WORLD BASICALLY*, i took advantage of the unusually traffic-less roads and did TONS OF FUN THINGS.

first, i went to the eat real food festival in culver city~*~

this was all food made locally and from locally grown ingredients

+ fReE SaMpLeS xoxoxo

also i got some pluots and cookies, you know, just the necessities. two of the five requirements for survival: food, water, shelter, pluots, cookies.

then basically i spent the entire rest of my weekend (not really.) at the renegade craft fair~*~

this was like the shreveport maker's fair x1,000,000. and also very similar to the one-of-a-kind show in chicago that i go to every december with the gurlz~, except it's outside and you don't have to check your coat.

if you aren't familiar with either of those things, it's just sort of a festival with lotz of booths/tents for ppl to sell art that they make because they are creative geniuses. art = jewelry, paintings, photographs, clothing, etc.

the prices were entirely reasonable and EVERYTHING WAS AWESOME.

here are some sweet findz:

these are so all perfect because i LOVE sloths wearing suits and i LOVE siamese cats and i LOVE zombie mugs and i really DO LOVE being #1

also you could MAKE crafts there! made this silly round fruit holder:

also i got a few rad gifts but duhh why would i post the pictures here, pshhthy who do you guys think i am, someone who would ruin surprises, no>>

hope y'all luv my bedsheet photo backdrop

*if you guys don't know about this BIG DEAL, "the" 405 is an interstate along the west coast. apparently it is always super-packed full of cars, but i wouldn't know because i never drive on it. N-E-way~~ the mulholland drive bridge was being reconstructed, which meant that part of the interstate was closed for this weekend only. some genius named it "carmageddon" which implies chaos and also doom and ppl were like I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU BUT I'M NOT DRIVING ALL WEEKEND LOL ;)

so even though the 405 construction only impacted a tiny area of los angeles, the majority of drivers opted to just treat this weekend like y2k. thus, the time it usually takes me to get anywhere by car was cut in half.
