OH, CANADA!

I am such a bandwagon-er.
Or, I have a particular fondness for free paraphernalia.
Well, I'd like to point out: duh.

With the Olympics happening within the vicinity, practically, of "my" neighbourhood, it was hard to be apathetic about them for too long.
Free concerts, zip-lining, fireworks, need I say more!
"Yeah, I don't care. I'm indifferent and completely unfazed by all this."
YOU SEE HOW DIFFICULT THAT WOULD BE!?
And so goes my story.
Canadian patriotism was felt for the first time by yours truly.
Oooo, and Shane Koyczan was yet again quite superb, at the Opening Ceremonies. Youtube him. He's a slam poet. He's good.

In other exciting fashion-y news, last week I went to Value Village's 50% off sale! Some lust-worthy things were bought, some well-worth-it time was taken off from school. Rebellious? Hell yes. Stay tuned, I'll be wearing 'em in future blog posts. (Am I talking to myself, or not? Let me know; leave a comment. Why yes I am refraining from sounding desperate, yet again. Clever? Oh I know.)

Also, no one answered last time. I WOULD LIKE A PRETTY BLOG HEADER. IS ANYBODY IN CYBERSPACE WILLING TO BE KIND TO THIS 17 YEAR OLD (who very well may be a 45 year old for all you know). 'CAUSE IN CASE Y'ALL HAVEN'T NOTICED MY HEADERS CHANGE TOO OFTEN AND THEY'RE ALL AMATEUR-ish. Kay, thanks.

 Oh, and I know there are supremely creative people out there, so this may seem insignificant and sympathy-inducing, but huff puff, I DIY'd a necklace quite recently. I'm proud of this baby:

 

Born on January-something 2010, weighing a healthy 0.35 pounds. Its forefathers include: black duct tape, thread, needle, sequins, and an old chain.

Here, I wear her:

Now, get on out of here love.

RIP, AMCQ.

Nuuuuuu. This post is solemnly dedicated to a man of unconventional, aesthetically-appealing geniusness. 
My net income of $0 never allowed me to own any of your pieces, but I sure as hell enjoyed fantasizing about them. Rest in peace, Alexander McQueen.

I request red baby oranges. FANCY.

Oh hey, blogosopshere, fancy bumping into you.

On  December 14th, 2009,  precisely at 7:51 pm, an anonymous reader of Under Urooba's Umbrella...
made. a. request.
MY FIRST REQUEST.
Hardly a request, but nevertheless, a request.
Not a large request but not a microscopic one either.
Not an infinite request yet not a small finite request.

 This is me, fulfilling said request:

In an attempt to alleviate my rather inconsistent mood swings, (what with being a teenager and hormones and all) I decided to dress up one of my bedroom walls with pictures of other people.

UROOBA SOUNDING SANE: 0       UROOBA SOUNDING CREEPY: 1

 Oh hush now, by other people, I mean pictures from magazines/other places...
to go on my....Wall of Fashion Inspiration of Extreme and Utterly Inspiring Inspiration  (WFIEUI),
first heard about  HERE.
Anonymous asked me to put up pictures; I'm responding to this request only 1 and a half months later.
(You can always count on me ;) ).

WFIEUI is  always changing.
Proof:

                                                                                               WFIEUI ~2 weeks ago----

 

WFIEUI now----

  

Let's play a rowdy game of: CAN YOU SPOT THE DIFFERENCES?

She'll be forever changing.

On to more important things, like the fact that I'm not sure where I'm going with this blog. Like the fact that I'm not sure where I'm going with anything, really.  Like the fact that,

BABY ORANGES ARE MIGHTY DELICIOUS. I like peeling their layers. So vulnerable they are.

 

MAN, I SUCK AT MANAGING MY TIME. THIS IS REALLY STARTING TO MAKE ME ANGRY, I KID YOU NOT.

1, 2, 3, 4, tell me that you love me more.

5, 6, 7, 8, chocolate milk is really great.

OUTFIT TIME, dun dun dun:

  

  

Ignore the awkward expressions. Kay, whattheheck, get used to 'em.

Graduating in a matter of a few months. This insinuates feelings that are bittersweet.
