Thanks for stopping by my blog. I hope you stay a while, and find something that tickles your fancy. Feel free to contact me via email, Twitter, and/or comments.
May is either going to happen one of two ways.
It's going to go by in a blink of an eye.Or it's going to go by so painfully slow, I'll want to stick pencils in my ears.
Yeah.
In order to prevent the latter,
I'm commencing a month long project.
Called
Monday to Saturday.
Then on Sunday, I will wrap it all up.
They will be projects that will hopefully make the month more entertaining, and hopefully make it go by faster.
And, as you might have guessed, they're all creative/artsy type of projects.
Would you like to hear about them?
Good.
WEEK ONE: PHOTOGRAPHY
I will take pictures of six days of my life.
I will try to take as many pictures,
Document as many memories,
Capture as many moments,
As I can.
Then, on Sunday, I will put them all in a collage.
And hopefully it'll go onto my wall.
WEEK TWO: VIDEO
I will film all week.
This one will perhaps be a little more artsy.
Close ups,
Out of focus shots,
Saturated colors,
Things of the like.
Then, on Sunday, I will edit it all together.
Hopefully to Team by Bon Iver, if I get appropriate shots for the music.
If not, the song will be chosen accordingly.
Then I'll post it to YouTube.
WEEK THREE: MUSIC
I will choose the three songs that I like the most that day.
(Except for on Friday and Saturday, when I'll choose four songs to make it an even twenty.)
And I'll write about why I chose those three/four songs.
Also, I'll make bad a-- CD covers.
Collage, drawn, printed out, what have ye.
On Sunday I'll put all of the songs on a CD, type up the reasons for choosing that song, and put it all together in the CD covers.
Then I'll distribute them to whoever requests a copy.
And anyone can request a copy!
I'll mail them if I have to.
WEEK FOUR: ??
I havent quite decided what I want to do on the fourth week.
I have a few ideas, but nothing I'm super excited about.
So,
I'm leaving it up to suggestions.
This will be the last week of May.
The 24th-30th.
School will almost be out,
The weather will hopefully be warm,
And I will be itching for something to do.
So leave a comment,
Or send me an email at ericka.adriana@gmail.com
And give me an idea!
If I come up with an idea, I'll let you guys know.
But I'd really like your guy's opinions!
By the end of these four weeks
It will be the last day of May
And the first day of the last week of school.
And also Memorial Day, I believe, so I wont have school that day.
So thats nice.
I'll let you guys know how the projects go, and I'll keep you guys updated.
I encourage you guys to tackle week long projects too!
They make time go oh-so fast.
If you do, let me know!
And if you want a CD from week three, let me know that as well.
And if you have ideas for week four, I'd also like to hear that.
Or if you dont want to speak of either of those things,
Just drop in to say hello and tell me how your day was.
I apologize in advance for the upcoming blog absence.
This friday is my AP US History test,
So I will be preparing for that all week.
But after Friday,
I'm home free!!
It will be positively glorious, I'm sure of it.
So I wont be able to blog this week.
I'm hoping that after the test, I'll have more time to update more regularly.
If i dont, though, only four more weeks till I will have time.
Because SCHOOLS ALMOST OUT.
*sigh*
I cant wait.
In other news, I have a crush on Peter Pan.
Yeah, I said it.
You do too, now, dont you?
I knew it.

I wish I was brave enough to carry around an umbrella.
To carry it around and actually use it, mind you.
I have an umbrella,
A cute one, even,
But I'm too scared to ever whip it out.
I'm afraid I'll look too silly.
I dont live in New York,
Where people walk so much they NEED umbrellas.
Or I dont live in Seattle.
Where it rains so frequently it would be foolish not to have one.
I live in Utah.
Where people dont commonly use umbrellas.
But I want to.
I just wish I had the guts to.
I wish I had an excuse to.
I wish I was going for a walk in the park in the warm April rain.
I wish my school was close enough that I could walk to, all the while shielding myself from those showers that promise May flowers.
(Though not the Mayflowers that promise pilgrims. Thats a different season.)
I wish I didnt need an excuse.
I wish I could just be brave enough to take out an umbrella during the brief minutes that I'm outside.
Walking from the house to the car, and the car to the school.
(Wow. That sounded pathetic.
"You need to get out more," right?)
Anyhow,
I sort of love umbrella's.
And I sort of hate that where I live its not normal to just walk around using them.
I also sort of hate that in Utah we dont necessarily have April Showers.
We have April Snow Storms.
Where's the magic in using an umbrella during that??
Tell me - do you use an umbrella?
Take a picture of it, and send me a link!
(I'll post a picture of mine later.
I'm too lazy to go grab it from my sisters car right now.)
-Adriana
P.s. Arent these umbrellas(/slash/the way they match their tights) adorable?
I want an umbrella with ears or eyes of some sort.
Like the first picture, too!
So to get you through the day:

So in addition to my mustache-post,
I need to blog about another blog today.
As I forgot to yesterday.
But since when is it abnormal for me to blog twice in a day?
Let me answer that for you.
Since never.
So today, I wanted to quickly direct your attention to this blog,
The last blog of the "Real Blogs" series,
(I've said blog about a million times in the past thirty seconds):
Like her banner says, its "your daily dose of kak, bad language and occasional sarcastic wit."
Reading her blog reminds me what being a teenager is all about.
Procrastinating,
Hanging out,
And complaining about school.
You gotta love it.
You also gotta love Run, by Vampire Weekend.
Which is what I'm listening to right now.
How could you not be absolutely in love with this band??
I know I am.

So the other day, I was thinking:
One day, I want to have enough readers to host a blog giveaway.
Then I started thinking:
What would I give?
The first thing I thought:
Something mustache-related.
So I figured:
I should probably explain my strange love for mustaches.
So today I'm going to blog about:
Mustaches.
(This is a poster featuring many famous mustaches that is in my room.
Or at least, thats waiting to go in my room.
My room is kind of in-between being decorated right now.)
I dont know why I enjoy them so much, but I do.
But first, lets clarify -
I do NOT like them on guys.
Wispy little hairs on upper lips just isnt attractive to me.
However,
I LOVE the novelty of mustaches.
(I got this little gem at a Party City, I believe.
And look closely.
It definitely says "100% Human Hair"
Hows that for dedication, yeah?
Ive had it for a couple of months now, and refuse to take it out of its package.
I'm waiting for the perfect opportunity.)
If you were to ask me where my love for novelty mustaches comes from,
(Which my sister, Amanda, does. Often.)
I really dont know what I would tell you.
Though, thinking back on it, Ive always found them humorous.
But I think what stemmed the open passion for them was this cup I found at Urban Outfitters.
(Hey, look! Its me!)
And ever since I got that cup, it sort of exploded.
My sisters, Ingrid and Astrid, understand and support.
Which I first realized during Christmas.
They got me mustache stickers, mustache notebooks, a mustache t-shirt, and that mustache poster I showed earlier.
(notebook)
(stickers)
(t-shirt)
(On rare occasion do I feel cooler than when I wear this t-shirt.)
When Bee and I were waiting for hours before the Vampire Weekend concert,
She nonchalantly grabbed my hand, and started drawing something.
When I asked: what are you doing?
She said, like it was no big deal: Drawing a mustache on your finger.
This is why we're best friends, Kolbie Anne.
I have this black-light pen, that writes invisble, but shows when you shine a black light on it.
What was my first course of action when I got it?
Draw an invisible mustache on myself, of course.
And then draw them on anything that came into my path.
(I may or may not be wearing an invisible mustache right now)
If one thing is certain, its this:
For some strange reason,
I am a mustachio nut.
For shiz.
And in the distant future I will host a blog giveaway.
And when I do, the lucky winner will be showered in mustaches-o-plenty.
Promise.

When Alpha The Beta Fish died, everyone immediately told me to get a new fish.
But I wasnt ready.
I felt like I would be replacing Alpha.
However, I very quickly realized how lonely it was without a fish.
I wanted to have a new fish-friend, but I didnt want to seem rude by moving on so quickly.
By now, though, everyone seemed to respect my decision of not getting another fish.
But what I needed was someone to tell me to buck up and move on.
Luckily such a person exists in my life.
Him: Have you gotten a new fish yet?Me: No. Like I said, I dont want to replace him so easily. But then again, its very lonely without one. I find myself constantly looking over at my bed-side table, where his bowl used to be. Its become habit, and its knd of depressing.So in short: no. Its all very confusing.Him: Ok... I'll help you! Get one!!!
{relief}
Well, if you insist.
So, after much consideration and contemplation, I decided it was time to get another fish.
I originally wanted a goldfish.
Then I was convinced to get an x-ray fish.
And I got really excited about that.
Then I went to the store and was convinced an x-ray fish was a bad idea.
Because I have a bowl, not a tank.
Apparently the only fish that lives super well in a bowl is a beta fish.
But I didnt want to get a replacement Alpha.
(It'd be too weird to have a fish that looks exactly the same.)
So, a bit disappointed, I opted for my original plan.
And I got a goldfish.
In fact, I got two.
Meet Clark & Kent:
CLARK
KENT
Though they're not x-ray fish, I'm content with my decision.
I missed having a fish.
And the more I watch them, the more I get attached to them.
But now I am once again in the stages of getting to know my fish.
When I first got Alpha I swear he didnt like me.
But eventually got he used to me.
So I'm trying to get to that point with Clark & Kent now.
Cause right now theyre skittish.
And Kent's a little feisty.
In due time, I suppose.
I miss Alpha, but I think this will be really good.
And luckily goldfish arent as delicate as beta fish.
Together, Clark & Kent will join forces and become indestructible.
