Attempt #2

So it's obvious my first blog didn't work. Honestly? I just wasn't inspired because my layout was fugly and the pictures i'd upload were way too big. But with the help of my sister, a new banner has been created and I am in love with how it looks. I'm inspired now. And now that it's almost time to go to college in 12 weeks (but who's really counting) I need to seriously start a blog. I was going to wait until I had my own computer, but I keep on thinking of things that I'd like to journal before I leave. I'll be a state away and I want to document my adventures and pour my feelings onto this page... I mean computer screen.

You know how when you open up a new notebook or journal it's hard to decide what your pen will write first? Well, that's how this post is right now. But who am I trying to impress? This blog/journal is for me. So let's get personal here.

Current likes:

1. My Morning Jacket's new song, "Circuital"

2. Sliced apples with almond butter

3. My seven month old pup, Gypsy:

Haha tender.

4. Etsy. This will always be a current like. I can honestly spend hours. Literally several hours on it. Etsy consumes me; and I can't tell if that's a good or bad thing.

5. Rollerskating on the Marymoor trail

6. Online classes. It's. been. awesome.

7. My 14 dollar chest of drawers from Value Village:

I'm trying to replace all of the knobs with cool ones from Anthropology or wherever I see a good find. Did you read that right? Yeah, I said 14 dollars! holla.

8. Girl bands. For example, Warpaint and Stealing Sheep

9. Ellen Degenerous. Enough said.

10. My beloved typewriter that I ebay sniped. I'll let the picture do the talking:

Isn't she perfect? Her name's Charlotte. I'm really excited to type letters and scrapbook with this bad boy (or girl?). I'm tempted to buy more on ebay and sell them for twice as much on Etsy because it's been done. But i'm too poor to buy them in the first place so maybe later.

So there you have it. First post second attempt, accomplished. And I think I nailed it.
