Hello, blog. It's been a while.
Wow. It's been a month since I've last posted. Eh. Well, I've had a lot going on lately. A lot of caroling, caroling near and far.
I'm very organize-y this month.
I cleaned my room! And you guys get to see the almost finished product!

| My desk/sewing/drafting table I got for Christmas. It's truly a drafting table, but it's serving multiple purposes for now. |

| This is my jewelry cabinet :) |
 |
| This is my room in its entirety (ignore the stuff in the corner.) |
 |
| My room! |
This is my room! It's not done yet; I still need to add quite a few touches like new shades for my french doors, a new valance, a rug, some more pillows, a new soap container for my bathroom, some towels, my dress form... But hey, tis a beautiful work in progress :)
And Happy Christmas!

Just because I'm in Theatre doesn't mean I enjoy doing projects on Macbeth.
I have an excuse for not writing for 3 weeks! I really do! Lately I've been up to a lot in the theatre department! Two weeks ago we just finished up an original musical we've been writing and working on for a year; it was performed by us and it's over! I was an understudy for the lead (I got a night!) and in ensemble. It was one of the most eye-opening experiences I've ever had. Show choir and caroling has also been taking over my life... For show choir we're singing "Hot Chocolate" from The Polar Express and songs from How The Grinch Stole Christmas it's going to be AWESOME. I'm very excited. And with it being the season to be jolly, it's time to start caroling! I'm in a group of about 16 High-School kids and we're caroling all over our area almost everyday this entire month! It's really fun, but quite cold!
Now, you're probably wondering about the nature of my title. I'm refering to my plentiful mound of school work. Right now in English we're reading Macbeth and due tomorrow I have a nine entry character journal that I haven't started and an analytical essay due on the 3rd assigned on Wednesday. Happy Thanksgiving Break! Right? Another fun thing we're doing is studying kabuki in theatre. It is honestly not very fun. We have the option of writing a 6-9 page essay, creating a dance with full kabuki makeup, a mask and an explanation for it or an analytical book of masks. I'm not excited about this whatsoever.
But I am excited because we're almost to Christmas Break! My father and I are going to Disneyland, because my birthday is on Christmas and I'm turning sixteen. YAY! I'm also getting a DSLR camera, which I'm super-excited about, because a passion of mine is photography.
But with the Christmas season not only is apple pie, ham, presents, family, friends and love included... Winter formal is coming up! I was considering not going, but the theme is amazing; it's Yule Ball.
What is Yule Ball you may ask?
It's only the huge winter ball in Harry Potter. Although our school may not have the magic or the budget to come up with a carbon copy; I'm still incredibly excited. My friends and I are playing Muggle Quidditch as a day activity after we carol in the morning; I anticipate it will be quite fun! Though, I do need to find a dress in less than two weeks and I cannot start looking until next Sunday! I'm quite nervous about finding one as I'm going to have to start looking as soon as the stores open to the moment they close!
If looking fails, I have a beautiful cream dress with blue flowers on it that should fair quite nicely. I'll just have to buy a shrug and some new shoes to go with it. I've just worn it so many times before it's getting somewhat old.
Enough of my rambling, I've got to go finish that Macbeth journal. I am now Lady Macbeth!
Pit pit cheerio!

Today I had an epiphany.
I found my style again.
For the past month or two I haven't been blogging because life was catching up to me and pulling me, clawing the sand, back into the sea of confusion.
This is the first time in a month I've worn a skirt, which is my usual bottom.
But after last night, when I felt pretty to be showing my legs and pretty in general; well, just cute in general, I decided I should start trying again. So last night at 2:40 AM, I texted my dad and asked him to pick me up for church. It was time I started making time for what I wanted and less time people-pleasing. So, I got up this morning right at the time my alarm was set to go off, hopped out of bed and did my make up. Sparkles for eyeshadow, brown eyeliner and a hint of mascara. Of course foundation and for the first time in a long time; blush. I even put some lipstick on.Then I curled/volumized my hair a little, shushed it, and got dressed. I picked out a skirt I hadn't worn yet from UO, a Lush slouchy black pocket tee and my favorite Kersh cardi. Once I put the outfit on, I looked at my finished product and smiled. I felt pretty. So, I'm going to document that right now, I feel beautiful.

My blog is having a systematic failure; I swear.
Well, maybe it's just me. I told myself I'd make time for my blog everyday, but it's just so hard! I don't get home til' 9 or 10 most nights, then I attempt to do my homework and I'm in bed at 2 or so. I have too much on my plate; it's pathetic. But I really am going to keep this blog going strong, because I enjoy blogging. Nomatter if it's blogging something I'm wearing or if it's talking about a trend or something I see that annoys me or things going on in my life, I'm going to keep writing!
But for now, I seriously need to go clean my room. My clothes are taking a serious beating right now. Dirty carpet + clothes does not go well.
Eek.

we've come so far, but we've got so far to go.
Wow. It's been a while since I've posted! (Yes, 7-10 days is a while to me.) Let's go over what I've been up to.
Right after I ended the 30 for 30 Challenge, I went to a camp with a few of my friends. It was extremely fun! I got to go canoeing and it was freezing (a change from the one hundred and twenty degree weather here), but some things I am so grateful for now that I am back are comfortable beds and long hot showers (Heck getting any showers at all.) 5 days of pouring rain, dirt, mud, physical activities and ONE shower. That was pretty miserable.
But now I'm back and scarily enough, school is starting next week! I started shopping this week for school stuff and went to Charlotte Russe, Gap and Goodwill. I got a bunch of basic stuff that I previously lacked, so glad I got them! I'm so excited to be going to H&M on Monday with one of my best friends too; I need a few more skirts!
I'd be excited to go back to school, but that entails a lot of homework, finishing my summer project and giving up all this AWESOME free time I have. I'm seriously gonna miss summer. Speaking of missing things... I cut my hair really short! Before it went down to my waist about and now it's all the way up to my shoulders. And it's BRIGHT red. But even though people say long people never like short hair once they get it all chopped off; I love my hair! I'll post pictures with the next outfit I take a picture of.
I'm excited to be back for good now and to continue blogging regularly. If you're still following me, thank you so much; thinking that you're reading this means a lot to me. And I hope I have some new followers too!
I love you all (:
