inspiration

I saw this picture while randomly browsing posts from fashion toast's blog. not trying to find anything in particular, more out of boredom. But i found this, which totally inspires me. I needed some inspiration. Thank You fashion toast! :) i strangely wish this could have been a longer post, but that's OK, i just needed to get this up. Oh hey- i also should say that i really should be posting more often, and that it's getting sad. sorry!  Anyway.  Lets make a list! Things i love about this...

1-The Pants.  I'm not sure if they require much explanation, but still.  I love the way they fit her, and the dramatic flare at the bottom.  and this is coming from someone who hasn't worn flare jeans in years!

2- The Sun Glasses.  I've been excited about aviators for a while.  i mean it IS summer right? right.  The look just seams cool.  The way she paired it with everything just seamed to work. 

3- The Shirt.  One of the reasons that i love this, is that it really is just a pair of jeans and a t-shirt.  But she wears it in a way that makes it much more fashion-y and less jeans and a t-shirt. I love the fringe at the bottom and the loose-ness of the shirt against the form fitting jeans.  I've been looking for fringe-y things for a while, because you know, fringe is just fun! but where i live it's difficult to find cool stuff some times.  Sometimes.  This shirt seams to have kind of a DIY kind of feel to it too.  Which i like. 

4-The Accessories.  The overall look seams pretty simple, but the accessories (headband,bag,rings,bracelets,etc.) add something to it.  I'm not sure what the tail hanging out of the bag is, but that doesn't mean i don't like that too!

These guys make the coolest videos on you-tube! Tons of music videos that are fun to listen to and watch. This is just one of them. I was obsessed with this song last year. :) The link for their channel on you-tube should be in this post!

2009/2010

These are mostly if not all of the end of the year, but i thought it would be good to post on the previous year.  I mean, it was extraordinary.  In both good ways, and bad.  It was strange, it was new, it was an adventure, it was nerve racking, it was fun.  As much as it pains me to say it, despite all the idiots, and people that will just never understand, this year was a good one.  In the end, i had made some really great friends, some people i could rely on.   Amazing people, and you know who you are.  I met a few people i couldn't stand, who probably don't even know it, and a lot of people that I'll remember forever.  Maybe I'll even see them next year.  It was difficult to watch some go through pier pressure, and make, in the end, bad decisions, and amazing to watch some make amazing choices and do great things. 
  This year was full of excitement.  I learned so many good things from new people, and a few things i didn't need to know.  I had so many new experiences.  From playing leap frog down the hallways on my way to Phys. Ed, learning to play badminton ( and actually being alright at it), to meeting some of my best friends, to mourning over difficult times, and people that i feel I've lost, this year, the first of many middle school/high school years was full of memories.

Thefted

oh gosh. there have been strange men in and out of my house since eight o'clock this morning.  by that point i wasn't even quite awake yet. sad? ahh whatever. it's summer baby!  moving on-  he's been patching the freaking hole in the roof of the room i'm actually in at the moment, as well as another room, since that time.  He'll apparently be back soon too.  Fun fun.  My computer is also having issues, which is always great especially when you are trying to


7:41 pm- alright. this is just a bit depressing. a little (British accent) i don't even know why.  I feel that a British accent is acceptable there only because that's how i'm saying all this in my head.  So there.  Moving on...  That first blip at the beginning there was written some time this afternoon maybe 2:00-ish.  Until "Mr. Handyman" showed up once again and tryed to patch the ceiling.  Yet again- and just so you know, he ended up using the wrong paint.  FAILURE.  Ok, so the man tryed to tell me that i could stay in here and continue.  That i wouldn't bother him in the slightest, and i was like "oh, yeah i won't? well your bothering me- at least a little more than the slightest!  So there".  Well, actually i just said " no it's ok, i'll finish later.  Go ahead".  What's wrong with me?  I guess my mother did a bit too good of a job teaching manners, or something like that.  


so i've decided to do a blog tribute to girl i know.  Her name is Ashley, and she's really cool.  She listens to the best music, and is an all around fun and individual person.  She was my favorite babysitter when i was like nine, and a good friend later on.  I havn't seen her in a while, but she's great anyway.  I thefted these pictures from her facebook profile, but you know, that's not actually stealing, because this is a blog tribute.  So it doesn't count.  She does the most amazing drawings, and is very creative.  (examples below)  She's got purple highlights for crying out loud! 

I should probably write more, and i did have more to say, that i can't remember, but i just think this is a nice a to end, don't you?  yeah.  love ~ Meg

Boot Camp, Jump Street, Summer

I've had an extremely crazy and busy summer so far.  It's weird really because it feels like it's been summer for a while now, when really it's only been about a week!  I'm also really excited for girls camp.  We got together to work on that yesterday, and though the stake theme is Boot Camp (ie- army stuff) we changed our ward's theme to Toy Story (Plastic soldiers).  That kind of thing.  We've got flags and skits all planned out and i think this will be an amazing year as far as girls camp goes. 

I'm excited about this new Jump Street place or whatever it is.  Everyone seams to want to know what it is, but there was one in the city i lived in before i moved to where i currently am.  It was actually called Jump On It there.  It's basically a bunch of trampolines hooked together and up against the walls.  Simple, but really fun.  They also had bounce houses and other stuff.  I hear that the one near me though, has lots of other stuff too.  So we'll have to see. 

I've also got to find time for a movie day with some of my best buds and another day that i can hang out with the math gang.  Oh we'll see.  Some of my friends, and i have been putting together a list of random things we need to accomplish before the summer is over.  On that list is another list of around 20 movies we've got to watch.  I'm excited.  I've got a hunch that summer is going to go by way too fast this year.
