eat my shorts

Eeeee!
I literally edited these for so long.
Sorry this was a lame and short thing earlier. Augh, I've just been super swamped with doing literally nothing everyday...
AP art is actually consuming my life, we're already supposed to be done with our second project next Wednesday (and I'm so behind already!) But I'm getting so excited to do my concentration. My idea is essentially shrine inspired portraits of people in my life whom I care about that also care about me (it's supposed to be the idea of saints watching over you, that you also worship). Anyway, Theres a lot of candles and fake flowers and general awesomeness and I'm super excited to post them here/just be done with my concentration! (I'm really worried about time...)
I'll post some when I get about half way done.
Also I've been meaning to post so much recently and I just havent been because I always feel like I have to majorly edit all of them and it's too difficult/takes a REALLY long time to do...
But I'm gonna do an inspiration/outfit post soonish and try and fix that.
I just really wanted to talk to you all, but I didn't have a new post ready, so here are my thoughts on an old post...
My nails matched my shorts matched the crosswalk

***BAK 2 SKOOL***

Ah! I'm back to school for a few weeks now.
Apart from stress, tests, and homework, school has actually been really fun. It's forced me to actually dress in a way that's not like, sweats and a t-shirt and I just feel really awesome lately. Especially since my tattoo chokers came from Cobra Snake and I can finally dress like a true ~*90's Queen*~
School has been okay so far. I haven't had nearly as much homework as I had last year, mostly just keeping up with my AP art Concentration and COLLEGE APPLICATIONS (holy shit I'm, like, almost an adult and shit AHHHHH).
So basically just as much stress as before, just in different ways. At least I've been spending most of my free time with stuff I love--like art. I can't wait to show my art concentration! We just had to turn in our first of twelve pieces today and I actually finished it almost exactly on time! (I have one small thing left to do) so that feels really good.
I'm gonna do an AUTUMN INSPO post soon including like SKOOL INSPO too. EEk. I hope you are all doing well
(look at how soon after my last post I am posting!!) (I hope this is a good year)

Summertime Sadness

With the school year starting for most people, I figure it's a good time to make a really summer-y post. This is a group of photos I took of my friends a week or so before school started when we went up to Tahoe for the weekend. These make me so nostalgic for summer (even though I've only been in school for like two weeks) I miss biking and swimming and jumping off of poles into the water, and eating ice cream. All the exercise I enjoy is summer exercise. I am preparing for the impending doom of winter constantly sitting on my butt doing nothing. Though I actually am getting pretty excited for Autumn. Just so I can layer clothes and not sweat and die of heat and what not. Eryn's most recent post is making me really excited for just sitting inside when its raining out wearing a sweater and drinking hot chocolate and doodling in my journal. Since I did this post on TPZ I've been realizing how much I love journaling so I've been trying to do it more. I'll have a journal post up soon (including but not limited to what I posted on The Pulp Zine.)
I was going for a sort of eerie quality with these photos, with the sort of contast-y shadows and stuff. Idk if it came across or not but hopefully it did.















I hope you're all having a lovely beginning of the school year, or if you haven't started yet, a lovely end to your summer :)
