Opening an Etsy Shop!!

Why hello there! What am I doing you ask? Well my little blog schnitzels, I'm opening an Etsy shop based on my extreme lack of funding for my trip to England. It'll be full of cool little things I find at one of the four, yes FOUR consignment shops in my local area and things like newspaper flats and flowing sun dresses that I make myself! But because I am a faithful blog momma, I'll always post photos of what I find (or make) here! You can get a special Schnitzel Sale Price on everything that's posted here for up to a week, at the week mark it will be placed on Etsy, unfortunately then you'll have to pay full price, So check early and often!!

Exams? Natural hair.

Hahaha this is what I look like ter day

Addicted

Addiction - noun 1. the state of being enslaved to a habit or practice or to something that is psychologically or physically habit-forming, as narcotics, to such an extent that its cessation causes severe trauma, yes indeed I am addicted. The instant I know I won't hear your voice I start to see them, those little ones that you blow away just by speaking. Then as if those small ones open flood gates the rest of them pour out. My hair is greasy, my legs look funny, my skin is dry, I'm too fat, nobody will ever love me and hundreds more. You say we'll be together soon, but when is soon? Soon like I'll blink again soon or your test on Thursday is soon? Or soon like soon we'll be grown up or soon you'll be driving? Which soon will I be seeing you? When will I see you again?

Fundraising

Remember when you were little and you would go around selling magazines and candy for your school? Remember when you got a little older and you stopped doing that because you never saw the benefits? Well with the new age fundraising has a new face too, this new face is called Kickstarter. Though it's strange I like it. Now you may be saying to yourself why in the world would she be talking about fundraising? What's going on? Well this summer I'll be heading out to Southall, England now, as you may imagine this trip is not cheap..AT ALL! Currently I'm still left to raise $1,700 so I've come up with this super cool idea (with help from the fam' of course): You donate a certain amount of money and you get something super sweet! So here's how it works:
$1.00- A sweet paper crane folded by me!!*
$5.00-A five color Chinese ladder bracelet and one for a person in Southall
$10.00-A ten color Chinese ladder bracelet and one for a person in Southall
$25.00-A five color Candy Stripe bracelet and one for a person in Southall
$50.00-A five color Candy Stripe bracelet and one for a person in Southall and a Tie dye t-shirt**
Now this might seem like a ton of money but it is a donation to an amazing cause so just think about it

*This is a Blogger exclusive! Act now!!!
** Because of space limits I can't bring tie-dyed shirts to Southall with me

Churchy Masks

So I woke up this morning and started getting ready for church, all at once I realized, God could care less if we're wearing dresses and ties or if we're in our pjs! God could care less where we are, or how we look. Then why do we go to such trouble? Why do we go to such great lengths when singing Jesus loves me in the shower makes him smile just as much as us going into church and singing weird hymns nobody knows? Because we aren't going to church just to praise God, no we're going to show off our church masks. We go in to show how 'perfect' our lives are. Mothers pretend to laugh and smile about the messes their kids make, fathers act pleased about being in church at all, kids smile and act polite to all, teens pretend to not be rebelling against their parents who are pretending their marriage isn't failing. So why the hell do we kid ourselves? We aren't going to church to learn about God, we're going so that the Johnsons from down the road will think that we're normal. We're going to show off our churchy masks.

Bad Mother of the Week Award: Week 1

I was walking today and I saw two young boys playing. The big one was beating up the little one, their mother was sitting on the porch smoking a cigarette and drinking a beer. A man across the road yelled to the boys, now I'm not going to edit what he said at all, so a warning to the younger readers "Hey boys, please play nice!". I know them's fightin' words.The young boys mother responded by saying "Fuck you! He needs to be beat the lil faggot!". Well ma'am first off as that boy could have been no more than 5 there is no way you could know if he's homosexual, second off no five year should be beaten, no matter sexual orientation.And, well frankly you calling him a faggot says more about you than it does about him. It says that you are homophobic, ill-informed and ignorant.Using that word at all is disgusting, I swear and I'll be the first to admit it feels good! But using words like faggot or chink is just wrong. Words like fuck or hell, ya they aren't good but they're the lesser evils they aren't coming right out with hate for another group. So lady who called her adorable 5 year old son a faggot, congratulations you've just received our bad mother of the week award.

In the Beginning

So I've started my blog, I'm a restless teen who really should be doing other things. But I'm here so what the hell,  I'll tell my story. I haven't been able to focus on anything at all, my friends say I've started my mid-life crisis early. So I started to keep a diary it worked really well for me until I realized no one would ever read it, I wouldn't make an impact on anything, or anybody. I'm going to post a picture and a couple of paragraphs about my day. I'm going to be trying to do something cool everyday. I might not always do something awesome but I'm going to   try to change it up.
