Of art and jello and cake!

Hello my friends! How are you all today? I'm very happy. :) I had a wonderful day yesterday!
My 16th birthday is on the 7th, so we had a casual party. And I had... the most incredible cake. As I've mentioned many times, I have a thing for dinosaurs. So when my parents asked me what kind of cake I wanted, I told them I wanted a dinosaur cake. With real dinosaur figurines. And... they got me one! It. Was. Beautiful. The best cake I've ever had! I don't know what the people at the store must have thought. That I was six, probably.

Okay, I know you're just dying to see it. Well, lucky for you, I took an insane amount of pictures:

RIGHT?? RIGHT???

What else has been going on? Hmmm. Well, I've been inspired by a very lovely blog  called "Sincerely, Kinsey" and as a result I have been making a lot of stitched canvas pieces. Want to see some? No? Too bad. :P

This one is inspired by Jane Eyre....

And this one is inspired by Edward Sharpe and The Magnetic Zeroes...

Aren't they cute? I have so much fun with them. If you'd like to try your hand at it, I would definitely encourage you to do so. Check out the DIY on "Sincerely, Kinsey" to learn how!

Now there's one last thing I'd like to share with you. I went to a Mexican restaurant yesterday and I got the most incredible jello. 

At first, I thought they put a flower inside the jello, but they didn't! The flower is MADE of jello!! It's incredible! But I can't bring myself to eat it, so I'm not sure how it tastes. Ho hum. I think I'm off to eat it now. Goodbye!

An exploration into the hipstamatic.

I don't know if you've ever tried it, but do you know that artsy camera app they make for the iPhone? The one that's called "Hipstamatic"? It basically makes the camera on your phone act like an old analog camera. You can mix and match different parts and it's really very cute.
As someone who adores film photography, I think the app is a very fun way to take photos when all you've got is your sad little camera phone...

So without further adoooo, here are some pictures I took with the app on a beautiful trip to the beach:

THIS IS MY DINOSAUR, FERB!!! (He'll get his own post later.)

 Why build sandcastles when you can build naked mermaids??

My gorgeous bike! :D

Mmmm, sparkly nails.

MORE DINOSAURS!!

I love love love dinosaurs. So so so much. RAAWWWRRR! One of my favorite things to do is scour tumblr for awesome dinosaur related pictures!

Here are some of my favorites of the day:

Probably one of the greatest images in the entire universe.

Poor dears...

I NEED ONE OF THESE SUITS. These girls have no idea how lucky they are.

I HAVE TO HAVE ONE OF THESE TOO!

So cool.

But these are way, way cooler. What can I say, batman riding a dinosaur is a BOSS.

He's got no idea what's coming... 

AHAHAHAHAHA :(

It's like Night of the Museum!

SO. CUTE. SOOOOO. CUTE.

I feel ya, bro.

This might also be the coolest thing ever. I realize I can't actually drive it, but I still have to have it.

So there! Hope you enjoyed all of these T-rrrrrific pictures! Heh. Heh. Heh. You see what I did there? I'm so good at bad puns. :)

Big Dino, Tiny Kite.

I really cannot express to you how utterly ecstatic this makes me...

Cats and friends and seatbelts. We're going to cover a lot today.

Hello friends! Or acquaintances... (I guess I don't know you all too well.) Oh what the hell, let's just be amigos! We'll see where this crazy friend-SHIP takes us! Gosh, I hope we don't hit an ICEBERG. AHAHAHAhahahahahaaaa I am just sooo funny...

Moving. On.

I am very happy and very sad. Want to know why? First off, I'm very happy because I have a bunch of friends all visiting right now from various places out of town, which makes me all smiley. (Polethene Pam, Miss Mixie, the glorious sister of Miss Mixie) :) I am sad, because one of these aforementioned friends (Miss Mixie) is terribly ill with suspected food poisoning... :( I feel so sad that she's all sick and icky feeling while she's supposed to be enjoying her vacation!! You know in the Peter Pan movie when tinker bell gets poisoned and everybody claps really hard at the same time and thus render her healthy and glowing again (still don't understand the science behind that btdubs)? Well I figure our dear Miss Mixie is quite an awful lot like a sparkly, flying fairy thingy herself, so perhaps if we all clap really hard, she might just get better? So clap, my minions, CLAP YOUR HANDS!! This is totally going to work.

Now that I've shared with you my ingenious plan to restore Miss Mixie to perfect health, I'm going to share some stuff with you! First off, an adorable cat picture. Because I am a very original blogger who posts very original material. I mean, please, name one other blogger who posts cute cat photos! I dare you. Bet you $5 you won't find one. Oh. Oh, really? You found one? Well I guess I owe you $5...... What a surprise.

Anyways, here's the photo:

Heehee. I took this pic of a cut out magazine picture that was hanging on the wall in this really cool barbershop. Miss Mixie's sister got her hair dyed today (AHH!!! :D) and I was chillin' out with her while she got it done. We got it done at the "original rock & roll barbershop" which is this super cool place only a few blocks from my house. It has magazine clippings and stickers and stuff literally plastering the walls and it's super cool. So yeah. That's the explanation behind my discovery of this adorableness.

The next thing I wanted to share with you is the purchase I made earlier this same day. It. Is. Spectacular. I probably haven't mentioned this before, but lately I have sorely needed a fun, casual belt. I probably have mentioned my love of dinosaurs. Yes, now that I think of it, yes I have. Well today... I found the greatest belt in the whole wide world. Or at least a pretty cool one. 

Feast your eyes upon it's glory:

Since you can sort of see it, do you like my shirt? :) My brother gave it to me for Christmas. <3

IT'S A SEAT BELT. COVERED IN DINOSAURS. IN PRIMARY COLORS! <3 I just love it so much! And it's super adjustable and comfy and awesome. While it holds up my pants quite well, it really knocks of my socks if you know what I mean...

Now it's super late, so I best be going. I've got SO MUCH to do and break is fast coming to a close, so it's best that I get my sleep. Don't forget to clap for my poor, sick Mixie! Pozegnanie!

RAWR!

AHHHH I'm sneaking 5 minutes to write a post. I just can't help it, I miss it too much and it hasn't even been a day! It's just knowing I shouldn't makes me wanna procrastinate on my blog so baaaadd!!
Okay, I just wanted to share an obsession that's been creeping up on me for a while now. If you read the title, you've probably guessed. Dinosaurs. :D

They just make me so happy!

You know I think it may have really started with Frank. You know the Black Keys, right? Well with their album "Brothers", they made some REALLY cool music videos that are stupendously awesome. A couple of them feature the sort of new mascot of the Black Keys. Frank. Frank... is a Funkosauraus Rex. And a puppet. And a playa. And the greatest dinosaur in the world. See for yourself:

Make sure you read the yellow writing.... It will make your day.

And you know what I did that I am actually super proud of??? After I was officially obsessed with Frank, I made it my life's ambition to track down the identical puppet. And. I. Did. I eventually found him on Amazon and it's by this company "Folkmanis". Or at least, I'm like 98% sure it's the exact same one.

Folkmanis dinosaur....

...and Frank! SEE???

Then, a couple of days ago, I found out he's now available on Barnes & Noble's website!!!! Get your own, here! I actually want this little guy SO BAD. Ahhhhhh. He will be my pet dinosaur and HE SHALL EAT ALL MY ENEMIES!!

Okay now I really must go. Sorry if this post is weird or has any typos or anything 'cuz I didn't really get to work on it as long as I usually do... Oh well, dinosaurs don't use proper grammar, neither shall I.
