Shit I Want

1: Black/White Leather Jacket // NastyGal

2: "Aaliyah" Beanie // Karmaloop

3: Acid Wash Jeggings // LoveCulture

4: See You Monday Velvet Dress // Karmaloop

5: Cosmic Pumps // Forever 21

6: Heart-Shaped Sunnies // Shop Wasteland

7: Velveteen Skater Dress // Forever 21

8: Neon Sweater // NastyGal

This is what I get for telling myself to not buy any clothes. I peruse sites to get some inspiration and then I see stuff I want.

UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

Granted, I would never be able to afford that See You Monday dress and that Aaliyah beanie is FORTY FUCKING DOLLARS. Like, seriously though? Who the fuck would pay FORTY DOLLARS for a BEANIE? The only things I could reasonably get are the leather jacket and the neon sweater from NG and only because they're on sale. 

Does anyone else have this problem? I HAVE to save money so I can afford an apartment. Buying clothes all the time is not good. It's important to work with what you have in your closet before buying stuff.

Me and my ex-boyfriend Steven (RIP), 2012

Please do not ask me why I am reminiscing about shit as if I'm about to die. For some odd reason, Beachwood Sparks' "By Your Side" is playing in my head while I recount the trivial markers of my youth. My first boyfriend, going out for once on New Year's, my first plane trip to California, Halloween--which me and my friends take VERY cereal--and even checking out the school you're transferring to with the guy you have a massive hard-on for (he's the blonde kid on the left in the Manifest photo. There used to be a nice little explanation as to how I felt about him, but I must have deleted it. :( Shit. That was good, too.

Anyways, I feel like I'm not doing enough with my life. It kind of sucks to hear everyone else talk about how they're going here and there and moving into their new apartments and whatnot. I want to reach a new milestone in my life. I want to leave Chicago, at least for a little while. Get new opportunities. Meet awesome people. Fall in love. Have sex. (Yes, I said it--er, typed it.) There's so much awesomeness in the world for me to experience and I want to soak it all up, because I honestly feel like I act like I'm way more interesting than I really am.

I'm just in a sad state of upheaval. The guy at my job I told you guys about before seems into me, but I can't seem to believe it because he's so conventionally attractive and I'm not. I'm more secure at my job because I've been kept on past seasonal. Pulled good grades this semester. Applying for internships. Still music blogging and whatnot. Fine. But I need more. Boredom can easily crush me like a fat bitch. 

Me Gusta Music of 2012 (In No Particular Order)

Me Gusta: The Best Shit of 2012

I did the same thing last year before I declared my blog officially dead. You can check that one out if you'd like. It's a lot more succinct than this one will be. I want to give you guys a little more than one grammar-error filled sentence about some good music. Unfortunately, this list is a bit shorter because I was out of the music loop this year thanks to laziness. Here's my list of the good shit, in no particular order. That'd take way more work.

I Fink U Freeky - Die Antwoord

From Stereogum

Die Antwoord is probably one of the weirdest groups to come from a random foreign place in a while. Yolandi Visser and Ninja--who bears a crazy striking resemblance to Hitler sometimes--made a rave-worthy single that perfectly aligns with the increasing popularity of the Eurodance/Eurotrash movement. And as usual, no Die Antwoord video is complete without a weird video to go along with it. I mean, if you saw a roach in your breakfast, I'm pretty sure it'd kill your appetite. Great song, even if critics gave the album Ten$ion shitty reviews.
