Sorry guys, The Killers are my guilty pleasure. Don't be too upset....
Enjoy!

Apologize
Once again, I'm really sorry for not posting very frequently [old swan song...]. I think it'd be safe to advise you to check the blog once every other day, or once every two days. I don't see myself posting every day, but if I do, checking every two days won't be a big deal [my posts are hardly earth shattering].
Now that I've got a few somewhat productive posts for you to check out, time for a personal rant! [These rants are really for my personal sanity, I seem to feel better after getting this stuff off my chest. I don't expect you to read these, or comment about them. If you do, POWER TO YOU! If not, I won't hold that against you. By writing this down, I feel like I'm confronting my problems....when really I'm avoiding them. GOOD JOB, G]
I'm feeling alone. I wake up every morning, get ready, go to school, go to practice, come home at 6, play violin, eat, do homework, shower, go to bed. Honestly, adding in a few computer breaks, that's my day. Every.Single.Day. I miss this boy I used to like. We had an immature relationship [in fact, I really don't even count it as a relationship]. We fought all the time, we broke up all the time, we hardly ever hung out. Now, three years after we stopped talking, I miss him. I miss him terribly. It's a really horrible situation, because I'm not someone who is all "lovelovelove" when it comes to guys. I avoid relationships, I avoid romance because it just distracts me. [I'm like some bitter 40 year old virgin.] Anyway, I miss him. I want to knock on his door, apologize and just have him forgive me for everything. BUT, reality isn't that easy. He will never forgive me, I won't get the courage to knock on his door and apologize, and we won't live happily ever after. "You guys should be friends, stop being so dramatic". Nope, we had a huge falling out, things were said. Plus, looking back at it, I treated him horribly. Never once did he push me away, never once did he deny me anything I asked for. I was the one who pushed, ran away from everything, and broke up with him every time.
I don't deserve another chance because I'll just do this all again. It's sad when you know you have a problem like that; it's like being an alcoholic and expecting people to invite you to their New Years Eve parties. You won't be because you're not trusted.
Wellwellwell, enough groveling for today. Thanks for reading, or not, and I promise I'll try to keep these rants to a minimum because you don't need to read about my insanity.
Be good,
xo, G

Favorite trends of Spring 2010
Wellwellwell, Spring fashion is starting to pop up in a lot of stores, and I'm excited! I LOVE winter because of the bulky sweaters, and the layers upon layers and scarves. I really love piling on clothes...i just feel so comfortable.
Usually i'm not excited for spring because it seems so uneventful, BUT, that's not the case this year! I'm looking forward to mixing some of those great bulky sweaters from winter and throwing paper thin t's and tanks under, in great colors [soft lilacs, vibrant blues...]. I'm sad that I'll have to put most of my boots away once spring comes, but I've saved my Fryes for the spring, so all is not lost!
I'm also really looking forward to the nude color trend. I've always been a fan of nude, on the right people [haha, doesn't that sound naughty...] unfortunately, I'm not someone who looks great in nude. BUT I STILL LOVE IT! <3 I am looking forward to getting some cute suede, nude pumps.
Feathers!!! I loved how feathers on headbands and earrings became a great trend this winter, peacock feathers were my favorite! I thought last spring/summer was a little tooooo tribal, but I enjoy some cool neutral prints mixed in with a few crazy pieces.
Overall, I just love most trends, minus insane plaid pea coats, button down shirts and scarves. [my eyes have bled from all that plaid...] Every year I hope that UGGs will go out of style...but they never do. Every year, they come back with vengeance. I'll keep my fingers crossed, but I won't get my hopes up.
Tell me what you love and hate, maybe we'll agree [or better yet, we'll disagree]

Mode
Recently flipping through Vogue France online, I stumbled across these amazing pictures from various shows.
If I could duplicate these outfits exactly, I would. The colors, patterns, mix-matching, EVERYTHING. I have to say, I love this insane, psychedelic look [the more psycho it looks, the better...]
What have your fashion inspirations been lately? Show G!

Absence makes the heart grow fonder...
Once again here I am, on my knees, begging for forgiveness. Unfortunately...my schedule hasn't eased up. After realizing I've earned a solid C in math this term...I've been groveling in self pity [seriously]. So, a few days after my little pity-party, I've decided to let out a nasty rant.
Here's the thing. If you don't like what I have to say, stop reading. Don't leave me negative comments, or bad mouth my ideas. On my blog, I get to write what I like, and you can easily "walk away". By complaining to me, you only make yourself look like the fool. If you have something to say though, a rebuttle or a different view, TELL ME. Support your ideas, don't just say "uR St00pId". Try to change my mind. Here goes...
Diversity, equallity, racism, religion, etc, are things we hear about constantly. Frankly, I'm done hearing about it.
What people forget is, talking about diversity (whether it be race, religion, sexuality, geography, cultural backgrounds...) we're not making the situation "better". No matter what you say, it can be construed as a negative remark, you can't please everyone. Instead of trying to be inclusive, we should work on being fair. There's a difference. Fair means if an Asian student has the same grades as a Native American student, they should be given equal opportunity. Inclusive, to me, means trying to give the person you believe is "less fortunate" the greater opportunity. I agree that if someone has had a hard life, and they have risen above and beyond what others "expected" from them, they should be rewarded. But, there needs should not be put in front of someone who worked equally hard. In a nation that boasts "all men and women were created equally", giving precedent to some people and not others is NOT giving that message; inclusiveness had led to exclusion. You can't make everyone happy [hell, we can't even make ourselves happy] so we should stop trying. We should be judged on our character, our morals, our ideas and work ethic. If an institution has members of all races, all cultural backgrounds, sexual orientations and areas, it will be insignificant if they don't have different ideas. Difference in ideas is what sets apart the United States from other nations; not the color or our skin, or the god we do or don't believe in. I don't believe in diversity. I don't believe in putting a Catholic student ahead of a Jewish student. This doesn't mean I think everyone should be a Caucasian, middle class, catholic. I don't believe in diversity because I believe everyone should be given equal opportunity. Totally and completely equal [for people who have learning disabilities I have different opinions]. Judged by our character, not our characteristics. Our ideas are what will shine through at the end of the day. You want world peace? No more wars? First we should focus on our mindset. Until we stop talking about it, equality/universal acceptance is not going to be a reality.
If my ideas have offended you, I apologize. This may not be the politically correct attitude that people are used to seeing, but I'm an individual, I have a brain, and I will draw my own conclusions. From now on, I'll stick to pointless tidbits of my life, with the occasional collage.

Well, well, well...
A few days ago I promised a polyvore of my "ideal" knocking around Europe outfit. HERE IT IS!!
I know it's not especially "stylish", but I want to be comfortable. The weather could be anywhere from 75 degrees to 50 degrees [plus I hear it rains a lot?]
Anywhoo, hope everyones alive and well...if not, hope mostly everyone is alive and well.

Pointless Folly
I'm not sure why I felt compelled to share this...but if you're reading my blog, maybe it's because we are similar [if so, i'm so so so sorry :p]. Either way, this just made me laugh and I thought the video game part was interchangeable with blogging... Whatever, judge me.
If that didn't make you laugh, you're much more sane then I am.

Where in The World is G?!
First off, I need to apologize for my lack of posting. Here I go, starting up a blog my junior year [that was my first mistake], promising tons and tons of blog posts [second mistake] and I can barely post once a week. FEEL FREE TO SHUN ME! [I would shun me too...]
Second off, to those of you who continue to read my blog [someone out there must...anyone?] I really appreciate it. I know that after a day of classes, reading other peoples blogs really relaxes me. Hopefully somewhere between my horrible music taste, meaningless content and dry sense of humor you get a little entertainment in [it's okay to laugh at me instead of with me]. I'd just like to say that November-January are the hardest weeks for me and it'll start looking up when February rolls around.
I've got some very excited news!! This April, I will be doing some international traveling and I am SO excited! I'll be heading off to Poland and then to England. Needless to say, I'm so excited even though this isn't my first international trip, and if anyone has any tips they'd like to share about the weather or anything, I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE IT.
I'll include a polyvore that I made of my "touring" outfit [really I should shove on some nikes and sweats, but i refuse to be the sloppy American that the world thinks we are!!!]
I hope everyone is dealing with life alright these days. Some days I definitely want to hide under my covers and pretend it's not time to wake up, [ "What? My alarm went off? Nonsense."] others...I can sort of roll out of bed. Well, what do the wise men say? 75% of life is just showing up? Maybe I should use that line when applying to colleges...think they'll buy it? ;D

Oh Dear
Well, this week has been insane [to put it nicely]. I found myself up past 1 every night because of hours of homework and then rising between 5-7 the next morning. I must say that I am completely and totally exhausted. It feels like I just posted on the blog yesterday, except it was actually days ago [shame on me]. I think after the end of the month my schedule will be dying down a lot and I might be able to eat, blog and sleep at least a few times a week. I pwomise I will be better nwext week :D
Anywhoo, for those Jersey Shore, fans out there Ronnie got arrested! The shores resident sensitive, self-proclaimed "guito" got thrown in jail for a few hours for punching someone in the noggin. He was let out a few hours later and nothing big happened afterwards except for his explanation of why he went on the "attack". Wonder what his sweetiepoo Sammi has to say about this...
Over the weekend I purchased a Killers CD with a montage of 30 of their best songs [im in love]. That's my biggest purchase [and did i mention i used a gift card?]. I'll be sure to be interesting sometime this week and do something other then calc. homework and chemistry. Girls just wanna have fun, right? ;D

Oh la la
As I said in my earlier posts, my Christmas holiday was fabulous. I have such a wonderful, caring family and I am beyond grateful to have everyone in my life healthy and safe. I hope most of you felt the same way about your holiday.
I have a few really nice purses because when it comes to bags, I prefer quality over quantity [I never buy purses full price because I'm broke most of the time]. When it comes to clothing, I like quantity [except in outerwear] but I like to have a few expensive pairs of jeans and a few expensive wool/cashmere sweaters. Most of the time I buy my clothes from Forever21, Marshalls, T.J. Maxx, Target, and Nordstrom. When I have money I'll go to some websites like net-a-porter, topshop, etc. I really don't use Sephora for makeup because I can't justify spending $20 on eyeshadow [if it's a color I use daily or foundation/face powder, then I will splurge occasionally]. Overall I'm careful with my money [except buying coffee is a weakness] and my parents have taught me how to be conscientious when it comes to saving [unfortunately, I tend to "forget" about that advice and if I spot a sale, I may start foaming from the mouth.. -.-]
This year, my mom was a ferocious [more life 5'1, 100lb] bargain shopper. Because of her "ferociousness" I got lovely gifts and I am so excited to get some wear out of them. I'm used to buying everything with my own money, so I look forward to a few free goodies during the holiday season [that sounds incredibly shallow but it's true, JUDGE ME]. My mom went to the outlets that are a few hours away, with some friends and they did most of their holiday shopping there. She also has a pal in retail who scored that killer Marc Jacobs bag [I think she paid around $250 for it!!@#$%@!~]. At the J.Crew outlet, the jewelry was on a major sale, [something like 30-50% off?] and the ae coat was around $50 [I really wanted a coat like this for mucking around in]. The Marc Jacobs Lola perfume was my sisters, but her boyfriend also got it for her, so I get this one [YIPEE<3]. The Frye boots were the most expensive gift I got this year, but I gave my mom a bit of dog sitting money that I had kept aroundso we ended up splitting them, around $150 each [yes...I dog sit] . I love them and I'm going to wear them everyday for the rest of my life [they'll have to pry them off my cold, wrinkled, yellow feet when I'm dead].
Overall, I'm really happy with everything I got and I owe my mom a lot [maybe, if I'm feeling really generous, I should make her one of those "kid coupon" booklets that include things like "one free day of cleaning" "four complimentary bathroom cleanings" ;D][kidding! ....sort of]. Feel free to share what you got for the holidays, or what you hope to get some day in the future!

I got soul but I'm not a soldier
Over the break, I've been revisiting a few of my former music flings and I stumbled upon a few of The Killers earlier songs. I'm completely obsessed. Previously, I thought they were overplayed and full of tween angst. Now I'm smitten. It's not that I think they're amazing musicians with incredible talent, more like I appreciate them at this point in my life. All These Things That I've Done, Dust Land Fairytale, When You Were Young, Read My Mind and Human are my favorites right now [I also love bopping around to their Girls Just Wanna Have Fun cover... o.O]. Honestly, I'm not knowledgeable or opinionated when it comes to "cool" music. Music isn't a large part of my life; I use my iPod when I'm traveling or I can't sleep. I never understood people who were really into music, that "mUsiK iZ mAh LyFee@#@!!" attitude was never mine [if that's yours...power to ya]. Most of my music taste is random and ridiculous, based on what other people give me.I'll avoid bringing it up in my blog because I know many people take music very seriously and I don't feel like getting someones knickers in a twist over the real meaning of Barbie Girl.
There is one more artist that I'd like to bring up, Amanda Palmer. Ms. Palmer is fabulous [in my eyes]. I think her music is fun. My favorites are Blake Says and Astronaut. I don't think her style is as timeless as The Killers, but I enjoy it for the time being.
If anyone has any favorite artists or songs, please let me know! I love listening to other peoples favorite songs [as long as I like the song...lawlz ;)]

p.s. Maybe you'll enjoy this?...or not.

Hallow der 2010
Well folks, I'm sorry for the long break I took!! Since Christmas I've been indulging [mentally and physically] and at this point I'm freaking out because I have school on Monday. My Christmas holiday was really lovely, and I hope everyone's holiday season went as smoothly as mine. I did get a bunch of things that I was hoping for, and a few unexpected things as well [I like being surprised]. Maybe later tonight I'll make a bit of a collage of a few of my favorite items.
Hmm, whats new, whats new...
Well, I stayed in the city for a few days and I was lovely. I live very close to NYC, so sometimes I don't appreciate it as much as I should, but it happens to be my ultimate, favorite place during the holiday season. For its reputation of being such a large, busy, bossy city, they have the most glorious holiday decorations and such. While I was there I did some fabulous shopping and drank way too much coffee [the weather was quite chilly so I found myself refilling my cup constantly]. Overall, I love NYC and I'll be applying to Columbia in the fall [let's keep our fingers crossed].
I'm happy to say my New Years Eve was very uneventful. This year I decided to trade in my friends for my dog, some popcorn, mineral water and lifetime movies [all of which I thoroughly enjoyed]. How did everyones New Year go? I'm still thinking of a few resolutions I can put into action for 2010, any ideas?
I'll be making a few more posts since I don't want this to be one mamoth blurb of boring-ness, so stick around : D
xo G
p.s. For those of you who didn't notice, I kept my sarcasm at bay: Hello, they call me G and I'm a recovering sarcasm-holic.... ;D
p.p.s. I don't claim any images on this blog as my own, unless otherwise stated.
