Amarillo

Yellow, in Spanish. You see, today I went to my brother’s bowling birthday party with a thousand screaming six year olds. I was staring at the colorful bowling balls when I had an epiphany. Photo blog. It will get me loving blogging again, and make me want to update every night. It’s more or less a big compilation of everything that inspires me or that I see each day. First post–MK A Olsen. Second post–my dog sleeping. You get the drift?

Hmmm, I know it looks ugly right now. I’m only using a default layout until I have a proper idea to make my own. And yes, don’t mock me. It’s on Blogger.

Yet Again

Melissa — Sun, 26 Oct 2008 15:03:59 +0000

I’ve disappeared from the world again, and I’m so sorry. Again. I haven’t lost interest, but there has been nothing of significance to post. My dad stole my tripod, so outfit posts have been postponed. But I have DIYed up a storm, so you can see the outcomes soon. In the meantime, this is a picture my friend took of me for her photography class. Snazzy, no?

I’ve Fallen Again, Hard

They’re in my size, and too much to resist. Maybe studs and ankle boots combined are my weakness. If I were a superhero, the villian could lure me in with studded ankle boots. Especially these Topshop ones. $150 plus shipping. Is it Christmas yet?

Thursday, Apologies

Melissa — Thu, 16 Oct 2008 23:08:28 +0000

Oh dear, you will never know how sorry I felt for not posting these past days. I’ve been so busy–Tuesday night was just horrible, Wednesday was the PSAT, and today I need to catch up on math homework. I feel like right now is my only time to honestly sit down and breathe. But once I finish this post, I need to wash the clay off my skirt, which is Photoshopped out in the picture, and convince my parents to let me go to Spain next summer. Wish me luck on my suicide mission!

Monday

No cute rhymes or words today. My room is a mess and I’m dreadfully behind on sleep.

Sunday, Camping

Melissa — Mon, 13 Oct 2008 01:15:26 +0000

In case you noticed my strange absence this weekend, it was because of our two day camping trip we decided to take. We just bought a pop-out camper for the price of two YSL pumps. Let’s just say I’d rather buy the shoes. On the bright side, it was oddly warm for October and I’ve become addicted to hot chocolate with milk.

Dear God Almighty

Send me these shoes from their sacred place in heaven. I will be forever grateful, due to their studded-ness and bootie-ness perfection that can rarely be found for the low low price of $42.99. Or these look-a-likes for ten dollars cheaper.

Thursday, Dee Eye Why?

I’m am clueless as to why I became so crazy. Or even how it happened. Maybe one day I just woke up and was out of it. For I have lied to many about this shirt. It is so much easier to tell people it mysteriously appeared in my closet or my friend found it at a rummage sale and had to buy it for me. But I cannot face telling everyone in the world about my nasty obsession with scissors and cutting things. It’s unhealthy.

Tuesday, Rhinestones

Melissa — Wed, 08 Oct 2008 02:19:58 +0000

Today was the Official Dance Team Rhine-stoning Party, at which we completely bedazzled our competition pom costumes. My hands are covered in glue and shiny pieces, but it was fun nonetheless. The only bad thing is that I’ve been craving beyond craving McDonald’s French Vanilla cappuchinos. Anyone have one to spare for me?

Monday, Both Hands

Melissa — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 03:09:08 +0000

I am walking out in the rain and I am listening to the low moan of the dial tone again. And I am getting nowhere with you and I can’t let it go and I can’t get through…
The old woman behind the pink curtains and the closed door on the first floor. She’s listening through the air shaft to see how long our swan song can last.
And both hands, now use both hands. Oh, no don’t close your eyes. I am writing graffiti on your body. I am drawing the story of how hard we tried.

Music makes me so much happier when I do homework.
