Boyfriends

I was feeling a little rockabilly tonight.  The 40's inspired leopard job was found at Forever 21. Being the sucker for leopard print, I couldn't pass this one up.  Yes, it is a bit trashy...but what the hell...I have hips, let the world enjoy them.  Never mind the vaguely vapid expression...I probably had muffins on the mind or something...  

Twinkle and her boyfriend invited me out to see the Theater Fire play in Dallas tonight.  Apparently, the drummer is the brother of Twinkle's boyfriend (who happens to be a drummer himself).  The night went on with the usual wash of good company and music.  Twinkle seems so much happier these days; she and I can't help but to gush about our boyfriends.  We both have come to the conclusion that the people we are with are the most genuine, kind, and loving boys that we have ever had the pleasure of being associated with.  She and I are on the same wavelength. My name is Mary, but you can call me Serendipity.  

Baby, I'm your honey bee

I am noticing a trend in my wardrobe: black, white and yellow.  My inner-honey bee is screaming for release.  The dress was found at the local thrift store for three bucks. Actually, I already own a similar dress, but I have the tendency to be attracted to items that I already posses.  Doesn't matter, this dress is better than the other anyhow.  

On a side note, my mother has become increasingly interested in indie music. Just today she asked me if I have heard of Black Rebel Motorcycle Club.  Awwww mommy, of course I have! Recently I turned her on to Fleet Foxes and suggested some Rosebuds.  Although, I must be careful.  After introducing her to Flight of The Concords she has turned into a complete fangirl.  

All dressed up with nowhere to go. That statement needs to be tattooed on my forehead.  The dress was purchased at the Buffalo Exchange (well, more like I traded old clothes for it). Its a little big around the torso and bust, so synching it in with a thrifted belt does the trick.  I found the sandals at a Mervyns or something...I was actually looking for a pair of flat sandals, but I walk out with a pair of high heeled platforms. Figures.  

Music for 15 year old girls to be kissed by.

Sometimes I just need that unapologetically self indulgent music that makes me feel like a boy-crazy teenager.  Its funny, considering I never really went through that phase. I guess I get to experience it through the filter of a 23 year old who has a soft spot for sappy music.

listen for yourself

Reading and listening to Leonard Cohen makes me aware that I can never experience nor articulate emotion on comparable level.  In fact, his work highlights a certain emptiness that all who are not Leonard Cohen exhibit.  

This evening a beautiful storm blew into town; lighting creeping through the grey clouds and silent thunder. Made me realize how much I missed weather. Living further to the coast, I would experience some of the most wonderfully fierce thunderstorms. I would relish those dark mornings and wake-up to the subtle pitter-patter of rain on the trees outside my bedroom.  Sometimes this constant sunshine feels like one long, hot, day that drudges on all summer. A little variety would be greatly appreciated. 

Trying out Etsy again. Have a surplus of items that I need to free myself of.  Got some great boots, a belt, beautiful scarf and some truly 80's cocktail dresses.  Take a look-see!

I dreamed last night that I saw a rainbow in the night sky. It was like some beautiful harbinger of the end. Speaking of colors of the night, I am pleased to see my boyfriend picking up the camera and playing the roll of photographer. :)

Last night I learned that I am far too cool for my old haunt.

The dress was purchased from Forever 21 a few years ago. The strap on it has been broken for some time, but I have just now fixed it so I can wear it in this oppressive heat. I know it is entirely too hot for hats...but dammit, its my head and Im gonna put what I want on it.



Left to my own devices again.  Maybe with these idle hands I can do something beautiful. Maybe tonight I can have a little fun.  Maybe tomorrow I will wash my car.  Maybe next week I will call up someone and make a plan. Maybe next month I will be making some money. Maybe next year I will know something I didn't know before.
