I started journaling. Again. I'll probably stop in like a couple of weeks though, hahahaha. I started writing to future kids and to whoever gets my moleskin. I just get bored in class and start staring at people and watch their actions. I then see something that I find interesting so I write it down. Few topics I've covered: friends, being social, becoming a "woke" and I think that's it so far? I think it was Doctor Who or something that had a scene where a daughter/son was reading a journal that their mom/dad made and it really stuck to me..kind of because I can't even remember where I got the idea from. Anyways, it got me thinking that it would be so cool if I left a journal and like my future kids or my brother would read it, y'know? I don't know. A lot of people get creeped and freaked out about the future, but I don't really mind it. I feel like, it's coming so might as well suck it up? I'm gonna get wrinkles. I'm gonna have a job where I work at everyday. I'm gonna be done with school.
OH, GUYS. TV AND MUSIC TIME. I finally caught up on The Walking Dead and just..it's awesome, watch it. I was obsessed with it when it came out, but then I lost my way, like I do for every show, but I actually started to catch up again (thanks to my sister) and I am so glad I did. I missed watching zombies growl and try to eat people. They're my favorite monsters. Do you guys have any favorite monsters?!
Lately, I've been listening to Girlpool, The Growlers, and saw The Orwells live. First: Girlpool. They're a cute pair of girls who semi-scream into a microphone and make music that makes you happy and think about your friends and stuff. At first, they seem kind of too much, but keep listening to them and you'll start screaming their cute lyrics. "I just miss how it felt standing next to you, wearing matching dress Before The World Was Big" [listen to Before The World Was Big, Ideal World, Cut Your Bangs, and Nora]. Now, Los Growlers. They are currently my favorite band and !!!!! They're so good. They're the ones that created Beach Goth, which is the festival I'm dying to go to and the lead singer is such a cutie. Ya guys gotta listen to them. [suggestions: Love Test, Humdrum Blues, Someday, and like..the entire Chinese Fountain album. And Hung At Heart. And Gilded Pleasures....I know..THEY'RE THAT GOOD!!!] OKAY. I saw The Orwells for the second time this past Wednesday and that was the craziest concert I've been to. I was like second row and basically on the border of where the mosh pit started so I was being pushed against the girl in front me the entire time. Sweating, pushing, getting pissed off because people were so annoying. I understand people are moshing, but there was this one chick who kept trying to get in front of me and I was gonna knooocckkk her out, hahaha. Anyways, it was overall SO fun. Screaming out their lyrics was the best, the lead singer made such cute facial expressions and OH, he basically jumped out of the balcony thing at the end of the show and I was so scared for his life. Overall, I learned new things about going to these types of concerts and I definitely need to see them again [pictures below are from the show]. Oh and I've been listening to Justin Bieber, shamelessly, ya gotta have your fix of pop sometimes man!!! And the first half of his new album is so so good, man, not gonna lie.
The lead singer had such great stage presence and he would make facial expressions that were so funny. It was just great to have him singing right at your face.
Cutie to the left is such a cutie. One of the most beautiful humans I've seen.
My friend, Jess (who just created a blog so you should definitely go say hi), took this after the show and you can't see much here, but you can see my messed up braid. My hair was a rat's nest, it was insane. Braids are the way to go for those who have long hair and want to mosh, although, your hair will still get pulled, sadly.
And here's my little SF family. We were all able to go because the show was free and no classes!!! It was so fun to experience this one with them because we hadn't gone to a real show together, except the little ones on campus. (Mal, the one standing to the left, has a blog as well!!!!)
Also, I was looking through my old notes on my phone and since I'm going home this week (AHHHH!!!!) I thought this quote was pretty relevant,
"Home is so sad. It stays as it was left,
Shaped to the comfort of the last to go
As if to win them back."
-Philip Larkin
It hit me. I don't know where I found it, but I loved it so much that I kept it. It made me kind of sad, but gave me comfort as well. Home for me is wherever my family is and they'll always be there. We discussed the topic of "family" in one of my classes and it made me realize that not everyone has blood related members that they would consider their family. Their friends may be their family, or I don't know, their dog! It just opened my mind to the idea that not everyone's family is the same as mine, including my mom and dad, sister, brother, etc. I just didn't realize it before..thanks to my professor!!! It's crazy how much college can open your mind (and make you broke). Here's a picture of my room that I miss very much (but it doesn't look this cute anymore).
One more thing: I'm sure you have all heard of what happened in Paris, big condolences to everyone who lost someone or know someone who was hurt or know someone there, etc. I don't want to sound like an inconsiderate asshole because that is not my intention here. It just amazes me that media covered this Paris attack massively, while other countries, for example Lebanon, El Salvador, Iraq, and more and more and more countries aren't getting any help from anyone and they've been killed, attacked, degraded, kidnapped for SO MANY YEARS. Why is that every time westerners are in trouble, they get the entire world's attention, but when it comes to third world countries, they're left for dead?

Okay, I've been trying to take outfit pictures and it just doesn't happen for different reasons, I mean look at the first one..MY EYES ARE HALF WAY SHUT! Hhahahaha, I just thought I would still input it. So, here's an outfit and a half and wearing the same jeans because these ones are so cute and comfy. Now, here's the next playlist of this segment!! This one was made by my roommate/friend Mal Plum: this is basically all of the music i've been loving as of this month. it's a bit different from what i used to listen to, like a month ago, but i dig it and i love that there is so much new music being introduced to me. thanks fam. i feel fly as heck now. (the 3 vampire weekend songs were not on purpose i just can't get enough lmaooo)
That's it for now!! Next time I post I will be home and I'm smiling so hard!!!!!! Hope you all are having happy days =^^=
