Embarrassing

Whoa, over two years old. So, um, I'm at violetthursdays.tumblr.com.

Monday Madness

Well, I've accomplished quite a few of my goals since my last post (achingly long ago). I live in San Francisco now. I didn't exactly go to South America to rebuild indigenous villages, but I worked for a non-profit whose sole goal was to raise the quality of life in Guatemala. I worked for the Obama campaign! I worked for Equality Virginia, trying to bring about a little more justice. I pierced my nose. I dyed my hair several times and moved its length about. I owned a pink scooter for a bit, but sold it (to a good friend) when I moved to CA. I began hula hooping and weaving and doing bikram yoga. I am going to college in Boston starting this fall and I'm transitioning from vegan to raw.

New Goals.
-Do the Icing Transformation Challenge
-Move to at least 50% raw
-Exercise every day
-Put myself in new, wonderful situations as often as possible
-Set up my etsy shop (homemade hula hoops and hand-woven scarves, ahoy!)
-Begin posting more regularly to the blog
-Dress with a sense of beauty and artistic intention
-Spend more time at the beach
-Work on long-distance relationship with the boy
-Live my dream life.

C-C-Christmas!

The Royal Tenenbaums isn't exactly the picture of perfect family cheer, but I still love it and I watched it for about the 6 millionth time right after we finished opening presents. Sometimes I forget how much I want to be Margot; she's ridiculously glamorous (something that is really hard to be as a high school student). Oh, a big faux fur coat and a long cigarette holder. I wish, I wish. Merry Christmas.

Monday Mania

Not only is this a fabulous song, but there's a bunny hopping around and everyone looks too cool to breathe.
