Entirely second-hand outfit today- also no school. This picture is from a weird angle because I usually have Amazon help with pictures but she is off babysitting right now. This is probably my favorite outfit of the moment- it's so vibrant I feel like a slaying beast queen.
Exams are finally over. They honestly aren't as bad as some people kept trying to tell me. I think most things in high school are like that. Everyone on the outside who hasn't been there, or who has forgotten make up these wild fantasies of intense drama, horrifying exams, and all around excitement. They make it scary and romantic and dramatic. The people on the inside (upperclassmen) don't want their boring lives to seem boring, even if they are, so they go along with it "Yeah, high school? It's the worst seriously. You will not make it out alive." It's scary for the freshmen, so when we get here it's actually a big let down. Maybe I did want a high school musical life. I guess not. I just won't go along with the idea that high school is so tough. Middle school- that's tough. I have nothing to judge about the stories that come from there- it's a bad bad place. But high school isn't really.
That's all today.
Have a slaying beast queen-ish week, readers.

I am currently in color love. I will go through my phases of black and white, all black, just neutrals, but away with all of that right now. I am dedicated to color and lots of it. It just makes me happy. Here are some clips of color from some of my magazines.

The photo is blurry today. it was cold out and I had to take the picture myself. I will call it artistically blurry, and we'll settle on that. How are you guys? I'm doing pretty good, today was my history exam. Bean is watching Wonder Pets in the background. I now have the instinct to start singing the theme song whenever a phone goes off.

Slice of Life: No Ideas Pie

Uhhghghg. It's the first day of exams, readers. My brain is too tired for a legit post title. uggghhgh.
The one cool part of exam week is that there are some half days, and in the time I finish my exam there is leftover time for me to read during. I have missed just having time to read. I used to never stop when I was in middle and elementary school, but now I just don't do it as much. I love the idea of reading that you can so well get to know an author or character through their art. You can tell that an author has a favorite genre or character. You can tell they like short choppy sentences or not, and if they see the best or worst in humans. It's the same with music, art, or pretty much any other created thing. We listen to music because we identify with or agree with the vision and opinions of the musician. I like getting to know writers and artists through their blogs and the work they create. That's why creation is so personal and why it's so important to do it for yourself, not for the public or for money. Money would be appreciated, sure, but it's not the driving force behind the best creators out there
 
Still not working at my usual level, guys.
Have a pie week readers
