SO, today I had an adventure with Friends With You! They’re building me a magical dream land as my belated birthday present:

Wait, no. Just kidding. They’re building a fun house for Art Basel this year and asked me to lend a hand. As soon as I saw the plans, there was no turning back. This is what my dreams are made of, I couldn’t say no!! And, yes, that is a bounce house in the middle of it all.
First, Xavier took me to the tent where most of the large pieces are being built and painted!

Next, it was time to get to painting with Sam! We painted most of the pieces and some friends came to help paint stripes on the pyramids!

Peeling off the tape after spending 8 hours painting every piece in there was the absolute best feeling in the world. Everything looked so dope. No other way to describe it!

I’m so excited to see the final result, and I bet you guys are too! It’s going to be amazing. Come to Art Basel, say hi, and explore all the fun! If you can’t make it, no worries! I’ll be taking tons of photos to share!

Her characters are SO adorable and amusing. I love them!

This girl can seriously bake up a storm. I would not mind taste-testing for her, and I’m not even vegan! Nomnomnom.

This guy is an amazing artist, and he’ll draw up some awesome custom shoes for you, too! Check them out on Etsy.

This has got to be one of the cutest things I’ve seen in a while. Who could ever get mad about this type of graffiti? So cool!

This car is always in my school’s parking lot. It never fails to make me laugh, so I had to take pictures with my phone to share with you all. One day, I’m going to wait by the car to shake the owner’s hand. Pure genius. I wonder what this dude’s about..maybe he’s a pimp? Maybe he really likes strippers? Maybe it’s a girl and she’s a famous stripper and these are self portraits? Any ideas? Either way, he/she is ballin’..

Yeah, I cried when Obama won. I cried like a baby…multiple times. Whatever, I don’t give a fuck! I think Obama is what America needed/needs. I’m so glad I voted for him. Anything but McCain! I’m proud of every state I’ve ever lived in for pulling through; Florida, New York, DC, Virginia. Go you! Seeing the number of people who went out to vote, no matter who or what they voted for, is absolutely amazing. America is a democracy, we’re finally getting back to that basis of practicing our rights and I’m beyond proud of what the people have realized they can achieve. I have hope in Obama bringing change to what we’ve been seeing for the past decade or so. If we can elect an African-American as President, then we can achieve so much. For all of you who believe in conspiracy, that’s totally cool with me! If you think the polls were rigged or the numbers weren’t true, that’s fine! But, please, believe in the strength of our citizens. If people can come out to the polls and demand change, then they will forever hold that power. Obama knows the responsibility he now carries, and the HOPE millions of people have invested in him. If he lets us down, then I know I won’t be the only one who will be angry. If our people have the power to simply elect him, then it’s only logical that they have the power to overthrow him, just as well. I stand a firm believer in Democracy. Shall the government betray it’s people, it will be largely out numbered with no where to go. That’s what our founding fathers built this country on, and I strongly believe that we’re getting back to those roots. Bush and his administration have seriously fucked America up the ass..without lube. I can’t wait to watch him walk out of the White House.
Obama addressed the people last night, he reminded us of our power, what we can achieve and how far we can come. We are beyond privileged to be able to even speak of change, to voice our opinions. Sure, we have a long way to go, but the fact that we’ve come this far already is astounding. I’m so proud of the country I live in, and feel incredibly privledged to live in such a diverse and open place. I think my faith in humanity has been restored, haha. Although change can never happen immediately, (especially with the political system we currently have) I think Obama is a symbol of the start of something drastic, and something revolutionary. To everyone who is upset about Obama’s victory last night, I’m sorry! Majority rules, our people spoke and they got what they wanted. Only time can tell whether or not we made the right decision, nothing else! I’m beyond inspired.
PS-Barack is one sexy motherfucker. I’m so glad we won’t have to look at McCain’s face for the next four years.

First thing’s first..I voted! Yay!

This was my first time voting and I’m pretty excited that I got to participate in such a crazy election. It only took me 45 minutes to wait in line and get it all over with! That’s pretty surprising, considering the amount of old people in Florida who normally operate like sloths. I guess this election was important enough to get them moving!

Here’s a mix of some goodies I’ve been listening to lately..

I’m a little anxious, but mostly just excited about the election results tonight. Eeek! I must get back to work now, so ENJOY!

SO sorry this post is wayyy late!

I was a raver for the first night of my Halloween festivities. Best part? I only had to stop at one store for my costume! Hot topic had everything I needed and a lot of it was on clearance. Super awesome. I made the bracelets by myself and everything! I don’t think I’ve ever worn so much glitter on my face before. Some dude thought I dressed like this on a regular basis. If I was a raver, I think I’d dress up as a Furry for Halloween, right?

For another party, I was a panda!  It was last minute but it worked pretty well even though people were confusing me for a cat all night, argh. I made the ears by myself but I lost them! Sad face. My friends were chongas, they obviously pulled it off well hahah.
I still hate Halloween, but at least it’s over with!

Ahhh, that familiar feeling is back. Once a month, I find myself asking the higher powers why I had to be a girl. Yet another day full of crying ovaries and raging hormones. Another day of irrational emotions which seem to miraculously disappear once chocolate makes an appearance. Why me?! I hate thinking that my options include, and are usually limited to: wearing diapers, pussy plugs, or hippie cups. I wish, just for one day, that the roles could reverse and men could carry babies and deal with their reproductive organs bleeding. Just one day. How amazing would that be?!

And why is taking a piss so god damn difficult? I’m sick and tired of hanging out with guys who can just casually whip out their members and take a piss when there’s no bathroom available. I mean, yes, there are times that I couldn’t care less and will pop a squat in the darkest corner I find, but it’s not the same! They can just unzip, pull it out and point it somewhere. Women, on the other hand, have to fully unbuckle their pants (unless they’re wearing a skirt/dress) and squat, all the while keeping their balance and aiming as far away from their clothing as possible. This is very difficult to do…especially while intoxicated. Actually, even simply going to a public restroom is difficult! Hovering over the toilet seat so your ass doesn’t catch some mysterious disease is not fun. It should be made law that Magic Cones are available (for free, hehe) in every public restroom. Am I right or am I right?

Okay, phew..I just needed to rant a little bit.
Oh..and just to make things clear, I absolutely love being a girl, but it can be inconvenient! I’m on your side, feminists. Please don’t attack me.

I know I haven’t updated in a while, but I’ve still been writing a lot which is more important, right? I write in my moleskine every single day now, I’m addicted to it. The other day I was walking my dog when I realized I could easily walk to this really amazing spot near my house. It takes me about 4 minutes from my backyard and it’s beautiful there. Between my house and the highway, you’d expect it to be an incredibly noisy and obvious little spot, but it’s so quiet and secluded. I’m pretty sure it’s an abandoned farm. Writing there is so relaxing, being able to unwind my thoughts into words that only I will ever read is absolutely amazing. I write about everything and anything: my days, my thoughts, my worries, my fears, my dreams, my questions. Everything. A couple nights ago, I woke up from a crazy dream and immediately started writing about it, I was so amazed that I even remembered it and cared enough to write it down instead of falling right back asleep. Please pardon all the corny words, but I’m kind of in the middle of unraveling something I never really knew existed in me, and it’s really awesome, haha. So, internet world, if you sometimes don’t hear from me for a while, I’m probably just hanging out in my secret spot, taking stupid pictures of myself and writing in my moleskine! =]
