Ferb and Humphrey

All my life I've been obsessed with stuffed animals. I just can't help it. Their furry little faces... Their squishy little tummies... It's sick really. I am a stuffed animal HOARDER. And even now, when I find a cute stuffed animal, I have to buy it. Go ahead: laugh at me. No, really, I understand. I laugh at myself sometimes. (My mother thinks I'm insane.)
BUT, if you happen to share my weakness, please enjoy the following post. I would like to introduce you to two of my most recent and beloved fuzzy friends.
You might not know this about me, but for the past few months I have been obsessed with The Black Keys' dinosaur mascot. Welllllll, I FINALLY GOT MY VERY OWN FUNKOSAURUS! And he's absolutely beautiful!
Meanwhile, I also got the cutest little rhinoceros the other day on a lovely trip to the zoo with my beloved Polethene Pam. And he is... so cute. SO cute. I love him. No, you don't get it. I LOVE him. <3

My two new little buddies, the dinosaur and the rhino, are called Ferb and Humphrey, respectively. And you know what? They're really getting along! Yep, they're sort of BFFs now. It's very sweet.

And now I have photographed them! Please enjoy all the sickening cuteness:

Humphrey :)

Ferb the Funkosaurus. 

Cousin of Frank. Yeah, that's right. His cousin is in The Black Keys.

Ferb and Humphrey goofing off. Silly fuzz balls. Although I suppose Ferb really has scales, doesn't he? təˈmeɪtoʊ, təˈmɑːtoʊ

That's all, folks!

I just discovered the greatest webpage in the entire universe.

If you love 30 Rock and enjoy quoting obscure conversations from the TV show.... click here and ENJOY. I've just made your life. You are very welcome.

Das mah smug face.

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.

Okay, this time I really am back.

I've been feeling kind of sad lately, even though life is actually pretty good. Maybe it's because I haven't been blogging? AHA, that must be it. Well here are my goals for my return to the blogosphere:

• Post more photography
• Share more art
• Introduce you to Ferb, my DINOSAUR. That's right. I finally got one.

Okay, that's pretty much it. I think I shall now eat some delicious soup. Ooooh or make a pizza! Mmmm pizza. I'm so glad to be back!!

I'M BACK!!!

Just so you know I haven't forgotten you, my beautiful blog. I have to say, you are one of my favorite things. You're like my little private therapist who I pour all my problems and insignificant chit chat into! Thanks for that. Oh and thank you to anybody who reads it as well. :) I'm still on semi-hiatus, but I just thought I'd pop in and share some photos. Though it is nice to take a break, I feel really weird not having blogged for a whole... oh wow, it's only been a week!

So here are some pictures of various things that have been going on in my life...

SPRING BREAK! Admittedly, it was not very spring-ish.

My brother gave me this note with a bowl of flowers. <3

Lately I've been doing a lot of jewelry making:

It was also my dad's birthday recently! Yay! Another step towards death.

That's all for now! I have to go throw water in my little brother's face. Bye!!

I am going to make this brief.

Lately I have been rather unhappy. Great things have happened, and I have the most friends I've ever had... and yet, I don't feel any better about life. I don't think I'm really depressed. I've just never been one of those kinds of positive people. I'm great at smiling and looking happy and don't get me wrong--I can BE happy--I'm just generally melancholy a large majority of the time. Oh well. Anyways, I'm saying all this because I think I need to take a break from blogging for a few weeks, so I can devote some more time to staring moodily out rainy windows. I'm not saying I won't blog at all in the next month but I'm just going to take the pressure off of it. You see, I usually feel really guilty when I neglect my blogs for too long. My poor sketch blog is probably about a month behind actually and it's killing me. And my poor book blog is on hiatus before it even got to begin! Oh well...

Anywho, with this post, I am officially freeing myself from blogging obligations. Officially. So maybe the guilt will go away... Okay, I'm gonna go enjoy my blogging break now. Please don't forget me! I won't forget you!!

So I'll see you later. Eventually...

I really, really don't like homework. (But I do like dried up leaves boiled in water.)

Which is why I'm writing this super short post. In an effort to avoid it.

...

Argh, now I have to go back to my English essay. At least I have my tea! That's right I'm drinking tea and writing an essay. Like a bad ass. And might I add, not one cup of tea. Two. Simultaneously. One is jasmine and one is rooibos, because I'm very, very bad at choosing between the two. :P
Now if you'll excuse me, I must depart! Though I have to say I've really been itching to make another mix tape.... Maybe I'll take a homework break in an hour and do that! Heheheh, we shall see.
