So Sorry

I'm terribly sorry I haven't posted in quite some time. I've been extreamly busy, and in the past week I was actually quite sick. I never get sick, and it was quite hard to realize how sick I was and cope with the fact I was sick. I'm all better now though, even though I'm still really tired.

I wear dresses a lot, and in the winter, I am perpetually cold. To overcome this, I just wear a lot of tights, but latley, I've discovered that all my tights have runs in them because they're getting so old. Tights are something I wear all the time but hate buying because I feel they are too expensive for my tight wallet and their tendancy to be ruined in a second. Especially since I do things I probably shouldn't in tights.


I have also thought about buying knee-high socks. I play soccer, so sometimes I just pull out my soccer socks, but black ADIDAS socks are quite obviously made for pushing people around, and sometimes don't look right.


Oh well. I suppose it will be something I'll man up and buy eventually, because I really do need to keep myself warm just throw away my old tights.

Rain rain, come today

It was raining a bit this morning before I left, so I grabbed my little sister’s umbrella and realized that umbrella’s are fascinating accessories that are virtually forgotten about. I loved holding that umbrella. After poking around a bit today on the internet, I also realized how many different designs and patterns umbrellas have. There are millions of umbrellas out there, just waiting for consumers to use them! It’s so weird, I even found a glow in the dark umbrella, so that as you are walking in the dark rain people will see you. There are people in this world who design umbrellas for a living, and today was the first time I’ve ever willingly taken an umbrella to actually use.



Also, thinking more about them, I pictured what it would be like to stroll along a private beach in the summer with an umbrella. I could have it either opened, like a parasol, or closed, just swinging it around.


On top of that, I can’t stop thinking about how umbrella is such a weird word.

To read or not to read.

I am terribly sorry that I haven’t been posting more, but due to the fact that I’m in several different activities, not to mention school and especially scholarships (I have been doing at least a million a day... or at least that's what it feels like), I haven’t had much time to devote to myself much less anything else.

All that aside, I was reading a few Seventeen magazines the other day, and I have decided that I hate most fashion magazines. I think the ideas are just so old and recycled. They don’t have a spark of originality, and don’t go nearly into enough depth. Now, I realize Seventeen is for a younger reader set then say, Glamour or Vogue, but still. That isn’t an excuse.

Fashion magazines either go way out of their way, trying to find the most up-to-date item at the most unreasonable price to just trendy, average items, that didn’t take any thought into picking out. I just don’t see any creativity anymore, and it makes me sad.

I just want something different and something real to look at in a magazine.
