Don't Save Us From The Flames...

It was bitterly cold today. I had class as usual and went straight back to my apartment for some reading and internet-ing. I really really want to go thrift shopping but alas I must spend my money on more useful things like text books and electricity bills. Ugh! It sucks to be an adult. Or something like it.

My school work is starting to pile up and I'm thinking that maybe I should get a head start on some of it. We don't want a repeat of last semester.
I am my own distraction.

I love catching up with old friends. It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.



Right now I am inspired by Youtube video comments and lint. I started making art out of it.

He is such an amazing designer.
It wouldn't even matter if I'm not his "type".

Gun Hip Swollen Lip Bottle Sip Yeah I Suck Dick

The 2nd Annual Sorin Reel Film Festival has been announced and I am oh so excited.
I've been itching to make a new video and now I have a good reason.

Today was an okay day. I went to classes. Presented a speech. Finished unraveling a knitted hat and made two hand woven accessories. I also read a musical called The Pajama Game for my Costume Design class.

It was so foggy today and on my walk home from classes I found a little dead frog.

Am I the only one who's still into Savage Garden?
"Truly Madly Deeply" and "I Knew I Loved You" were probably the truest lyrics I ever heard when I was ten years old. I like watching music videos of the songs I liked as a kid. They are always hilarious...what was I thinking?!

I saw the movie "Smoke Signals" when I was younger and totally thought this guy was Kocoum from Pocahontas in human form.
I love the whole Native American look but unfortunately he's less mystical looking now.

Don't Sell Your Shamanic Star Stones on eBay!

It has been said that I live a charmed life.

I wish I had more time in the morning to get dressed.
I have more top halves than bottom halves.
I washed a bunch of shoes today. And dried them.
Smelly shoes can mess up your whole outfit.

School is going well. It's not getting any cheaper though. My classes ask us to buy a lot of things but I'm reluctant because I have a feeling that we will not really use them.
My Costume Design class requires that I buy watercolor paint but I don't know how to watercolor. So I feel as though a whole other class is needed just for that medium.

I had a bad dream recently. It opened up a lot of wounds. And then I went to someone's Facebook/Myspace profile and hurt myself even more.
I need to stop doing that. Looking at old flame's myspace pages and re-opening scars that are healed. Well maybe they're still scabs.

People are really starting to notice my hair getting longer. I don't know how I feel about that. I kind of want it to be a secret thing. Like my hair has a mind of it's own.

I want to start a correspondence with someone. Things are so easy now with e-mail, text messaging, and social networking sites. I think it is more thoughtful to send someone a letter in the mail than leave a comment on their page.
So I pretty much want a pen pal. I want to write letters to someone regularly like I did in high school. And send mix CD's and magazine clippings and random findings. I don't know who I would write to though. I would like it to be someone that I don't know too well but well enough that I could tell them personal things. Or maybe a complete stranger.
If you are also interested in this I suggest participating in Postcrossing or Post Secret.

Right now I'm really inspired by Wikipedia and Youtube.



Sometimes there are just things and people that are much more important than you. There is something bigger than you.
I have yet to meet my niece Genevive but I wish the best for both of her parents.

If you've ever heard his voice you would understand.
He is a magical child.

No Man Alive Has Earned The Right To Save Me

Anything I could have come up with about sleepless nights and wakeless days has already been penned by Oscar Wilde.

He knows how I feel about being a vampire.

"A dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight, and his punishment is that he sees the dawn before the rest of the world."
-Oscar Wilde

He also knows a thing or two about fashion. You can agree or disagree with this as much as you want but I wish I lived during a period of anti-fashion like punk or grunge.

"Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months." -Oscar Wilde

Sometimes I wish I were a patron of the arts. Because then I would be able to commission music from some of my favorite bands and performers. Right now I'd really like to listen to an album about "the love of God". And I would want only my favorite vocalists and musicians to be a part of the compilation in some way. I would even commission my favorite graphic artists to do the album art.
But I would come up with the title on my own. I'm thinking "Young and In Love".

Future Husband:

Dan Hunter of PlayRadioPlay!

He's one of the first Straight Edge/Christian performer's who's music I actually enjoy. Too bad he's not Christian anymore. But who am I to judge?

We let our hair grow long and forget all we used to know

What could be better than one cat vest?
The answer is two. Two cat vests are better than one. Which means that I am the owner of not one but two cat vests. Yes!
I only have Ingrid, Sonny, and Rebecca to thank for this. Thanks guyz.

College is expensive. My books for this semester are so pricey that I contemplated dropping my entrepreneurship class just so I wouldn't have to buy the books.
I'm going to try and find a way around the expensive book prices. A few of my friends have been nice enough to give me the books I will be needing for one of my classes. And the rest I will buy on eBay or Amazon. I have also checked some of the books out from the library.



I thought this was a pretty good post secret card. I laugh every time I see that Romeo + Juliet movie with Claire Daines and Leo.

I bought some socks today from Wal-Mart and I'm pretty excited to wear them. They aren't awesome or anything but sometimes you just crave a pair of thick wooly socks. They were pretty inexpensive as well. I noticed that Wal-Mart is upping their game when it comes to the types of clothing they sell there. They have a few higher priced labels now. Jen and I were very confused whilst shopping today.

Ingrid is totally on board for creating a zine about being mystical and doing How-To's on Youtube. We want to feature others who are mystical as well so contact us if you're interested.
We are going to do a limited run of the zines and have a weekly Youtube segment on what you can do to be more mystical.

American Idol is on again. And I might be slightly addicted. Jason's younger brother Michael is a contestant on the show aaaaand....he's pretty good. I wouldn't go as far as to say he's better than Jason but ... he's good. I will support him as best I can. Because what else is there to do, get high?

I want to start a Hanson cover band. But let's get one thing straight: I'm Taylor.

His songs are fun, magical, and a little gay.
I'm not sure if I'm his "type" exactly but I would marry him no matter his "preference".

Play Me Those Songs That Remind You of Me

Today I attended my Tuesday/Thursday classes. I have Costume Design first and then Entrepreneurship. They seem very intense but I think I'm going to learn a lot in them. And both of my professors seem really cool.

I also watched a couple of Youtube videos on how to knit and hand weave. I didn't have knitting needles so I just attempted hand weaving from what I remembered. It was quite easy and seems like a simple hobby. I'm going to be experimenting with new weaving techniques. I'm also going to try and internet teach myself how to make interesting friendship bracelets. I will try and document my successes and failures. Everyone should learn from their mistakes.

I would like to add more videos to my Youtube channel. But I'm not sure what direction I want it to go. Comedy, Informative, Drama, Music...they all seem great but not very new. I don't want to have one of those channels where they just talk in front of the camera for five minutes. Or they edit it so cleverly that there's like two seconds of them making a weird noise between clips. That's so cliche.

Well I also want to start a zine soon. Anyone interested? I want it to be about all things mystical and awesome. I want to make a zine that I would love to read. Just thought I'd put that out there.

I just want to say thanks to who ever leaves me comments on my blog. It gives me a reason to update. But who am I kidding...I would update it anyway even if Ingrid didn't read it.

Dev Patel
He was kind of amazing in "Slumdog Millionaire" and more charming with a British accent on the TV show "Skins".
And he totally looks like the dorky Mexican boys I've always gone to school with.

Friendship Bracelets Are Hard To Find

I have so much to update you on. Today my older brother Albert had his first child! Her name is Genevieve Bustos and I am so excited to meet her. This is not the first time that I am an aunt but it is the first time that my father is a grandfather. How cool is that! We have a new addition to our family and I have officially become the only one of my mom's kids without a child.

Today was my first day back to school. It went well. I like my Monday/Wednesday/Friday classes. They seem very chill. I was so excited to see all my friends again. I forgot how much I missed seeing everyone's face on a daily basis.

I received one of the best gifts recently from my old roommate Ingrid. She gifted me with a beautiful hand made cat vest. I will upload a picture as soon as I wear it. It was such a thoughtful and mystical gift. Thank you Ingrid.





I'm not a furry but I do enjoy wearing this rabbit costume I own. It was free from the costume shop and keeps me warm in the cold months.

I went back to San Antonio this weekend and caught a free show at Music Town. Frank and I went to see Marcus Rubio and the Gospel Choir of Pillows. It was a pretty freaking epic show. There were colorful kazoos being passed out and lots of guitar string breaking. For some reason Frank and I have become addicted to listening to this kid's music. He sings about everything we're thinking about.



I know I said that I've given up on fashion and trends, but what about anti-fashion? What about clothing that you'd never actually wear out in public? What if you find something that totally redeems the world of fashion? I present to you www.starstyling.net.

He's adorable and soft-spoken in this movie.
He made thumb sucking look cute.
