The Lady of the Lake


Your eyes don't deceive you. These are indeed my new and first ever pair of Jeffrey Campbell shoes which I originally got for homecoming, although later decided that I didn't trust leaving their awesomeness off my feet whilst boogieing it down. I love these shoes. They are awesome and make me feel like I could stare at a rock and move it with my mind and make it hit some bully being mean to a kid, who would then look over at me.

____"You throw that rock?" The bully kid would say, throwing the pathetic nerd (aka me) to the side with his pure idiocy.
____"Yeah," I'd say. "I threw that rock. And I threw it at you. Got a problem?"
____I would stand with my hands on my hips as the sun rose behind me in a dramatic fashion, creating a shadow that loomed over the bully kid like a dark raincloud amongst a sparkly, firefly-filled forest of tender love and joy.
____"Yeah. We got a problem," the bully kid would say, taking a step forward, his eyes never leaving mine. As he would walk closer, I could only envision how perfectly my evil plan would work out. Oh, yes, I would think. Oh, yes indeed.
____"I'd like for you to leave that kid alone," I'd say.
____"That won't be happening," the bully kid would say. I would nod, acting as if I understood his side in this dispute. Acting as if he had good reason.
____But of course, I would never truly see eye-to-eye with him. In fact, once able to see the whites of those corrupted eyes of his, I would flail about ever so wildly and stick my hands in the air as if I were to take off and fly. That bully kid would laugh so very hard at me, but little would he know what was to come. With my hands in the air (waving 'em like I just don't care) and my Jeffrey Campbell shoes on, I would move the earth below him with my power of epic proportions. The earth would tear apart and he would be swallowed into a dark abyss, his face contorted into an expression somewhere between confusion and astonishment as he fell. Just before the earth closed over him, I would use my mind powers to bring the bully kid back to safety.
____The earth's surface would return to normal. That would be when the only sound heard would be the cheers from the kid who was being bullied earlier. Other than that, silence will reign dominion for a few breathtaking seconds. The bully kid, shocked into remission and unable to utter a single vowel, will only be able to look at my shoes which will be glowing like majestic glow worms. Then and there is when the bully kid will decide on his own that being a bully kid was never that fun, that being a bully kid was the last thing he ever wanted to be, let alone think about being. And that is my story of how I will one day save the bullied kids of the world.



Yup, so rather than starting the introduction to my research paper on King Arthur or at least replying to my poor friend's e-mail that she so diligently sent me, I decided to write a story about what I see these shoes being able to do. I do hope you enjoyed it, for now I must go and write about a less interesting topic. I kid, I kid. This research paper shan't be too terrible to scribe about on parchment, ohohoho. Farewell, citizens! See how in the picture below I'm waving goodbye to you? No? It looks like I'm contemplating life after picking up a pebble that fell diagonally from the sky? Dang.. you're right, it does.

I Heard You Found a Wishing Well in the City


Yet another strange middle of the week post. I have very little time to speak --er, type-- today, but I will let you all know that I got the senior discount at the Rave theater with my brother and that I am very glad they are aware I am 55 or older. So, have any of you ever been mistaken for an age you are not, whether that mistake was younger or older than your actual age?

The Crystal Which Held the World Intact



I'm not used to posting during the middle of the week. The middle of a school week. When there's school. And school is going on. And school will be going on tomorrow as well, and was going on the day before. Like, I'm gonna wake up tomorrow having to go to school. You see, on Wednesday mornings, our school works in the way that we go to school later, an hour and ten minutes later to be exact. It's very exciting but also very strange that I can wake up and take pictures at a time when I would normally already be at school. You know what? I'm just going to go do homework. This is too odd for me (but hopefully more outfit posts will occur on Wednesdays). Methinks it's time to take some government notes, yay laws!

Before I go, I shall ask you lovely people a question: what one is your favorite pieces of jewelry? I think one of mine is this necklace, 'cause I feel like after putting it on I'm the half blood prince or something.

Number 51


This is another one of those pictures taken when I was bored in the looming hours of the night and found makeup conveniently located in the area which I was being bored in. One day, I'll get one of those makeup pallets that are stocked to the brim with ridiculously magical colors and I'll have the prime time of my life turning my face into a majestic sea sponge type creature. That'll be the day.

After taking this picture, I have concluded that I posses the rare but fabled ability of shower curtain stealth mode. You see, I didn't even have to increase the brightness that much in order to make my face blend in with the white shower curtain behind me, which enlightened me since I felt that my sun avoidance techniques had finally paid off. Do any of you have a unique ability that only people like you and I are able to appreciate?

The Day I Met the Aztecs



Aweee, look at my snakey ring, he's so happy in his natural habitat, crawling up his little branch like he was meant to! When me and momma took these pictures, it's was raining slightly, hence the spots on my skirt and mud splotches on my shoes. It was difficult to balance on a slippery rock with five inch heels, but somehow I did it. But snakey loved the rain, of course.

Jah! So the other day as I was browsing the internets, a pair of adorable clog heels magically appeared on a website that I spazztastically sent to my mom, who spazztastically ordered them the next morning. They were on sale for $25.00 the night before when I sent them (it was 11:00pm and not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse) but the next day they went up to $35.00. Still affordable, but that made me a little mad that I could have saved ten bucks. Once the clogs arrived, though, they were surprisingly good quality. I was expecting this thin material over the shoes but it's actually really thick, and the heels very sturdy. They are five inches high and make me over six feet tall, but they're still rather rad.

I noticed that I tend to not smile very much in my pictures, for when I seldom do, I end up looking like a crazed hyena who just ate a very big cob of corn. That is not the impression I would like to give. Not at all. Maybe just a little bit. I also tend to turn my head to the right (left on the screen). Do you guys have any picture-taking habits or poses you always seem to utilizeee?
