Freaky Friday~~

1. Tofurky
I really don't care if you think it's stupid or looks totally gross or wah wah wah.
I love it.
It tastes soooo good. And it's never dry like real turkey.
And leftover cold tofurky sandwiches are my faaaavouriteee~~





2. Christmas lights


 I read a lot of blogs but I get a lot of inspiration from this one: http://www.abeautifulmess.typepad.com/
Her name is Elsie and she had some photos of her and friends wrapped in Christmas lights.
I thought... Hm. That looks cute. Maybe I could put some around my desk?
And then I did! Hahaha. As you can see from the top picture.
It really helps a lot when I want to sew because that side of my room is the darkest. Hahaa.

And then this week Jessica and I cleaned her room and I put lights on her bed too!
Hahaha. I like hers a lot~~~





3. Hoodies
 I really only wear one jacket and that's my Tegan and Sara jacket.
Meagan and I got matching ones at their show at the Glasshouse and I loooove it.
It's warm and  it's not really tight on my arms and it's red and has raccoons on it!
But I really need new jackets.
I put two on my Christmas list and I'm excited. Haha.

What I really want is a grey hoodie and then I'm going to sew red accents on so it kind of looks like the hotel jackets from The Royal Tenenbaums.
 This is a really bad screen-shot but there are three red stripes on the cuff and red piping on the lapel.
And it's inspired me to make a badass hoodie.
Can't wait~~





4. Embroidery
 I have always loved embroidery.
I got a ton of embroidery floss last year for Christmas and some embroidery hoops.
But I didn't even attempt to do anything.
Hahaha.
But I am feeling very inspired by all of these pictures so maybe I'll finally make an attempt at it.
Haha.





Eeehhhhh. I can't think of a 5th one.
At least one that I am content with.
So I'm gonna leave it at 4, even though I hate even numbers~~


So anyways, this week Jessica and I finally cleaned her room.
I don't have before pictures but I don't really care.
It was disgusting.
But look at it now~~
There's a floor!

It's still messy under the bed, in the closet, and in the drawers but whatever.
It looks clean and that's all that matters. Haha.



Looking back at this week I realize it was a lot of fun.
I hung out with Laurren, Casey, went to a party (lol), had Thanksgiving, and got stuff done.
And I am very happy about that.




And one last thing:
Today is my anniversary of becoming a pescetarian.
It's been 5 years.
Isn't that so insane?
That's like a child that's ready to enter kindergarten.
INSANE.
But just goes to show, I am way more dedicated than Krista.
BEEYATCH. Hahaha.



Have an awesome weekend. (:

Happy Thanksgiving

You know. I've never been a fan of Thanksgiving.
It's just another holiday that I was forced to spend with people who don't like me, and I don't like.

They act like they aren't assholes. That they are nice people. That they care about each other.

None of this is true.
They all act like highschoolers.
They gossip and back-stab and try to be the trendiest family.
And the main thing I am thankful for this year:
I NEVER HAVE TO SPEND ANOTHER HOLIDAY WITH THEM AGAIN.

Every year was just torture.
I had to sit and listen to them all gossip about everyone who wasn't there or, at least, wasn't in the room.
They all think they are rather witty and smart and they all have iPhones.
They are very cutting edge.


Some highlights of past Thanksgivings:

Being told I'd get pregnant before my cousin Jader who is at least 10 years older than me.
And after I started crying, saying it was more of a jab at Jader.
I guess that makes it better.

Being followed around by my younger cousin Mikayla, who was obviously parroting something her mother about me, saying I had on too much make up.

Going to Huntington beach and eating dinner in a parking lot on paper plates.

Getting ganged up on by my younger cousins Travis and Ryan and not letting me play basketball with them.


The past few years I have either spent in the car or in a corner with headphones on.



It's hard growing up. And trying to figure yourself out.
It's much harder when the ADULTS in your life don't accept you.


But the person I hate most of all is the Devil that spanwed these hellish children.
Robert Hanes.
He and my grandma are "separated".
He comes over several times a week because he knows he will make her dinner.
They go to the movies every Friday and, generally, she has to drive so he doesn't waste gas.
And just in case you didn't know, he has cheated on my grandma.
BUT NO IT'S TOTALLY FINE.
COME OVER FOR DINNER AND PARK IN THE DRIVEWAY LIKE YOU FUCKING LIVE HERE.
He is an inconsiderate asshole who likes to think he knows what's going on in the world.
And from what I've heard, he likes to send out very humorous emails.


I've tried my hardest to get pushed out of this family and I think I've finally done it.
My aunt JoDee blocked me on Facebook!
You know it's serious when it's Facebook.
And after she blocked me she had to find out my email address and start bothering me there.
Here's my favourite part of it.
You know why I blocked you from facebook and don't act like you don't...
Hahahahaha.
Oh god, so funny.

I've never liked JoDee, though.
She is a hairdresser, hence we had to get our haircuts from her.
Even though she charged us the regular price and, in all honesty, she's not very good.
Don't bother telling her how you want your hair done she does what she thinks will look good.
I am not lying, she said this herself.
But it's okay, because she has built herself the perfect American family:
Husband, a son who plays football, a daughter in cheerleading, a dog and two cats.
And don't even get me started on their first dog that they tortured to death.
I could actually go on for days about her. Trust me.




I hate Jeannie mostly because of her obsession with wine.
She specifically moved this past year to be closer to a winery.
Her daughter Jader got married at a winery.
It's a bit obsessive.
And the only thing they can ever talk about.
Also, she tried to confront me in email and then when I blew her away with my superior language skills she didn't reply.
Yes, you've tried so hard to reach out.




And you want to know something funny?
The "drama" this year.

My uncle Rob wanted to have Thanksgiving at Huntington beach again but HE DIDN'T SEND OUT EMAILS.
Dear lord, what was he thinking?
So before he got a chance, my aunt JoDee sent out emails saying "You can come to our house for Thanksgiving."*

My uncle Rob was very angry about this. But it's his own fault, of course.
But it's okay, because my family wasn't invited in the first place.
I have succeeded. (:




*Although, JoDee didn't cook anything. This morning Cherin was in the kitchen cooking turkey, ham, mashed potatoes, and pretty much all the food.
And while she was doing all this JoDee called and made Cherin drive to her house and bring her the salad she had to "make" a.k.a. put it in a bowl.



But there is a light at the end of this terrible story.

This year my dad, sister, and I went to my dad Aunt Rachel's and I got to experience a real holiday.
One where people like each other. One where no one is talking behind someones back. 
A happy one.
And I am thankful for that.
And I am most thankful for my Grandma Birdie and Grandpa Andy.
They are the kind of grandparents I want to be.
They are funny and nice and I love them.
I really wish I got to see them more.
It really sucks not knowing who your real family is.
I saw people today who I haven't seen in over 10 years and they were happy to see Jessica and I.
And easily made conversation with us.
It was really a nice day.
I had a lot of fun.






And before any of you Hanes start blaming my dad for my mom not coming, shut your ignorant mouth.
I am sooooo fucking tired of you all attacking my dad.
You don't live here. You have no idea what it's like.
You don't know the relationship between my parents.




And I am very excited for this blog to get emailed around and for you to all talk about me.
I'll enjoy it.
Because it just proves me right, once again.
























And this is why I am bitter. 
This is why I hate everyone.
This is why I am so fucked up.

I hate my English professor

And how he spends an hour and a half saying one important thing.
And how he gives us prompts meant for 6th graders.

Am I the only one who finds writing essays harder when it's too easy?
Yeah, probably.
Want to know what my essay is about?
How talking while eating is okay sometimes.
Yup. No joke.



So here's a little blog for you~~












And today I hungout with Luna Lovegood and it was awesome. And we basically want everything from IKEA and we ate sooooooo much cheap food. It was ridic. And then we got cupcakes from Dolissimo~~ Which is in, like Chino. And then we walked around "The Shoppes" and it was awesommemmmee.
And I just want everything from the Sanrio store. Seriously.
Especially this bag. But it's not on the website but I saw it in the store and I want it!
It's only $88 and trust me, that's good for Sanrio store.
So yeah, and then I took her home and we didn't watch Hot Rod but... Next time..






Alright, so I have a lot of hobbies. And I want mooooore so I need your opinion.

These are the hobbies I already do:
sewing
knitting
photography
building (like with wood and stuff)
drawing/painting


And here are the hobbies I am considering:
embroidery
scrapbooking
quilting
crocheting
building ships(and shit) in bottles



I mean, I feel like I have way too many hobbies already but I'm getting bored.
I mean, if you have an idea for the hobbies I already do I could try that'd be way more awesome.
Like, painting something specific or building a birdhouse, I don't know.
I'm just bored.
HELP MEEEE.



Btw, you can leave a comment without having a blogger or anything.


Thank youuu, have a goood weeeek~~~

Freaky Friday~~

1. The Cure
I don't know. This week I just started listening to them for the first time in a long time. And wow, I have missed them.




2. The Royal Tenenbaums

Back when I went to church and me and Paul Hamilton were bffz he told me to see this movie.
He was like, Jacqui, you'll love this movie! And I was like, lol okay.
And I finally saw it this week. And I am very disappointed in myself for not watching it sooner. It's soooooo gooooooood.
It's got so many good actors too. Like. Wow. I just need to see more Wes Anderson movies, that's for sure.



This week I was on my period. And I was more depressed than anything so I can't think of anything else.
Sorry. I'll post some pictures for you, though. (:









 




Yeah, I went crazy on Tumblr this week.

Complaints.

Most people annoy me. Whether they know it or not.

My room will never be at the point I want.

The state of the economy is really annoying.

All I want is pet. I want a friend. A companion. Someone who's always there.

My room is always freezing.

None of my clothes fit. This isn't an exaggeration.

I wish I could open up more to people.

I love my car but I hate that dent on the back left tail light.

I hate when Greg Chidley tweets song lyrics.

There is never food in my house. But I'd rather not eat and save money.

I have a roll of film that needs to be developed from this summer.

I can't get a job. It sucks.

Why the hell does Tyler have to live so far away? There are people in abusive relationships and they get to see each other all the time. Tyler and I are happy and we never get to see each other.

I suck at knitting.

I wish people could just say things to me. Not to my parents, Jessica, or friends. Just tell me you like my blog or ask me why I hate you. It's childish.

I hate that you couldn't just say no to a cat to my face. It sucks that no one in this family knows how to communicate.

Also, the cat I wanted is probably going to be put down and Matt Lynn's mom is going to blame me forever.

I want long hair. I want to be bald.

I hate college. It's just like high school. I think I'm wasting my time. Next semester should be better, though.

I hate people who say "Obama has done nothing."

I mostly just hate Republicans.

I hate how ignorant people are.

I hate how gay people aren't allowed to be marry. Especially since 50% of straight marriages end in divorce. Gay couples are probably more successful than straight couples.

I need to go to the dentist.

I need to lose about 20 pounds. How am I even 145? When and how did that happen?




I'm selfish and complain too much.

Freaky Friday~~

Wassup, doags? Hahaha.
It's been a pretty good week, I'd say.
I've gotten a lot done and I hope to maintain that.
Tomorrow I will post a blog with everything I am selling so keep your eyes peeeled.

Alright, here we goooooo~~



1. Taylor Swift on SNL
Well, so far this season I was rather disappointed. Nothing made me laugh like Justin Timberlake does but then, Taylor Swift arrived.
She is so funny. I loved every sketch, seriously.
Except for the one with Kenan because I hate him.
Seriously, here's the collection if you wanna watch it, and trust me, you should.
http://www.hulu.com/collections/323
Btw, a video will start playing and that's the digital short but if you scroll down you can watch the videos.
And oh man, the digital short was hilarious!
Just think, they went to some great lengths for this.
THINK ABOUT IT.





2. Babies!
Connor~

Catherine~

I just love babies~~ But this week I'm like super love baby time wowowoww. Laurren and I went to Jen and Ren's this week and we got to play with Connor and he has gotta be the cutest baby in the world. But also the funniest. He makes me laugh so hard. Harder than I make myself laugh, I know, seriously.
Also, he is just always drunk. Hahaha.

Hahahahhaha, you have no idea how hard I am laughing right now. Hahaha.

And then Catherine is sooo cute and Tyler sent me a video of her today eating peas and I wanna go to Clovis right now and play with herrrrrr.
So Laurren and I talk about babies all the time and our plan is that I'm going to have twins and then give her one and then never tell them they're related and then they're going to fall in love like Luke and Leia. Hahahhahaa.
But seriously. I love babies!





3. Silk screening

I just love how crisp it is.
And you can do it on fabric or on paper.
I'd love to make my own shirts and stationary.
I bought some embroidery hoops and was going to do it this really cheap-o way but I haven't gotten around to it yet.
But I love it so much. It's so cool.
And... jafdjajsdfla. Yeah, I love it.





4. Harry Potter
I mean, hell yeah, I've loved Harry Potter since it first came out back when I was in 5th grade or whatever but lately I've been looking at Harry Potter Tumblrs like mad.
And I kind of want to see the 7th movie now, even though I totally hate those movies.
And to Veronica Snell: Sorry I spoiled it for you but come on, the book has been out since 2007.
You can't get mad at me for you being slow.
But anyways I really want to reread them AGAIN but I've done that way too many times.
Especially when I have a ton of books that haven't been read at all. Hahaha.




5. Sphynx Cats

I really don't care if you think they're ugly. I love them.
They are soo pretttyyyyy and I want one so bad.
I just want to knit it sweaters and little hats and dress it up like a little house elf and omg I want one.
I mean, I'd like a regular cat too but that ain't happenin' either.
So I can dream if I want to!
Soooo cuuuuuuuuuute. :3




Well, I've got to get back to sewing. And expect an awesome-o blog tomorrow with things for sale.
Have a good weekend. (:
