well

Well, since I jipped you guys out of a post today, I'm gonna help spread the word about this fantastic website called The Unslut Project.
High school is pretty much the prime place to hear the word slut smack your eardrum without a thought. I think it's time to put a stop to this and give people the freedom to make their own decisions without being judged!

Here yah go!: The History of Braids

You're on your own in the real world

Fourth of July made me think. When I went to go see fireworks, there was a ton of smoke left over once the light sparked in front of our eyes. Now, it's not like I've done my research, but I was pondering whether fireworks were harmful to the air and to the planet. This got me thinking how there always to be a bad thing that comes out of a good thing. For instance, you can leave a relationship with good memories, but end on a bitter note. Lovers betray each other all the time. Our world is full of contradictions.
(Not juicy contradictions, I am not sponsored by Starburst.)

Anyway, this is from July 5th not 4th.



I wore this shirt backwards and tie the "front" with a ribbon and made that into a bow. Yes, I took awkward pictures today.
