You must not forget about me! I'm beck! (Whale rider love forevah!)

Sorry errbudy (all...one or two of you?)

I have been suupa busy with school and all, and on top of that I started this ballet class and I'm going to be in my schools dance production. (with the amazing part of group ensemble!) I am not so great at dancing, so its strange that I want to dance a lot now. Ballet is really more technique at this point than free, uninhibited self expression, so I don't see it as the same as moulin rouge...we'll see how this goes.

Fashion wise, I have not been in a rut per se, however, I never have exceptional enough outfits to warrant picture taking...or i'm just lazy. Maybe i'll set up a camera by the door so I can take a picture every day on my way to school. The most daring thing I have worn in the last few weeks was a plaid shirt, floral two-tiered skirt, and green tights. It worked, you'll just have to trust me on this.

There is a very interesting trend in Taiwan. It seems much more popular here than in the states. There are all these young fit twenty-somethings wearing baggy jeans and sneakers, along with (usually) fake glasses. Its very...gangsta chic. I must admit, I like it.

AND! I CANNOT WAIT FOR WINTER. I bet I say this every summer, and by the time it is winter I'm miserable and cold, but I really can't wait this time. Ill eat my words later, but right now sweating profusely from running around the track once is not fun.

And this concludes my string of consciousness welcome-back-post. (I'm welcoming myself back, of course. )

OH! And I now have a year long subscription for Lula. My life may very well be complete.

Farewell!

Done too much, much too young

This post has been delayed by...mostly my apathy. I have been sort of busy as we moved hotels and then found that the new hotel was a little strange and Taiwanese for our tastes and so we moved again. Were now in the Hotel Eclat, which means something in French...Anyways, it has all this strange artwork and chic little rooms. Our TV is at the base of the bed and there is a remote to bring it up from the little box it is in. And theres one over the bathtub. Our parents actually gave us the bigger room cause it is pretty much half bathroom, and they don't like bathtubs. Well, pardon that digression.

I have been in a fashion rut lately; I think it has to with it being summer, so I don't see anyone except my family very often. I have literally been re-wearing the same outfit over and over again for week stretches. Its weird cause when I do get together with friends I have to think about what i was wearing the last time I saw them so as to not wear the exact same thing. Although I doubt they would notice. Anyways, my fashion rut. I have spent all my clothing allowance except $20, so I have pretty much my full wardrobe for the next few months. Which wouldn't be so much of a problem, but I don't have one of those wardrobes full of stylish basics that I can mix and match, I just have all these patterned skirts and patterned tops...and some jeans. But jeans aren't my thing. especially in 100% humidity. Which is what Taiwan has all year round practically. So I need to start planning outfits that I actually like so I don't a) throw on something really boring that I regret all day or b) wear something I second guess all day. If I have some ideas all the time that I can use, It will be easier to get dressed when school starts and it might be stranger to wear the same thing every day.

Which sorta leads me to my next topic of ranting/lecturing/blabbing: personal style. Which may not be the correct wording, but I mean the idea of someone wearing things that follow an idea and all work together and knowing exactly how they like to dress. Because I get this feeling when I wear something that is associated with some demographic or character, I feel like I'm pretending to be something I'm not. Which may be ridiculous, but all the same, I feel this urge to wear something uniquely me all the time, that I feel like is something only I thought up and people can associate with me. Or, the latter part really doesn't matter, since what I think should me more important to me than what other people think. I still have no clear idea of what my personal style should be, but I have some thoughts, and I'm trying to draw what I like best out of my wardrobe and see what goes with that. I'll keep you posted. :)

Anyways, I think that is all the blathering I have, for now. Wait, on more thing! I feel like I'm thinking about too much and I'm about to start the school year with two APs and an honors class, and two language classes, and I am being over ambitious to think so much about what I wear when I'll probably be just doing homework all the time. And if I make the cross country team, thats even less time that I'll have. We'll see how this goes.

And now I fell like listening to the Specials.

See ya!
