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.
