Last Night

Last night was one of the best nights of my life. My best friends and I walked up to this mountain cliff and laid down blankets on the ground. We all laid down on each others' laps and looked up at the big black sky and at the twinkling stars that watched over us. We talked and talked and laughed and smiled and sat there, thinking for an hour and a half or so. We also listened to music like Breathe by Pink Floyd which inspired me to listen through the whole album, which I am listening to right now. And, we all made it our new spot to runaway too every now and then. I love it up there. It looks over the whole valley. And it also looks over all of the nature that laid beneath us. It really is something and it's my new place to go with my friends when we want to be alone and just think. It was very windy and cold up there, so we brought blankets and tons of jackets. It was just something else. (: It was a great thing to end the year of 2011 will all of my friends. I loved it. <3

Fashion Inspiration: Skeletons.

My best friend did this last week, and I thought I would do it as well. (:
ASH

Amazing inspiration of what to wear my docs with:) AND sunglasses amuse me.

This reminds me of the Christmas sweater my best friend go me last year for Christmas. <3 And the braid is amazing.

I am literally making my mom take me to the dollar store to get butterfly tattoos to  put on my legs. I am not kidding.

Cheetah print jackets are my loves this season.

Look at the shoes behind her:) And, who doesn't love this picture?

CREEPERS.

Lavender docs(:

Beauty

omgomgomgomg

This picture speaks beauty. She is seriously one of my favorite models. She is so beautiful.

Reminds me of something my grandma would wear.(:


her hair<3

I am going to be a skeleton for halloween next year(:

From Rookie.

Why am I so obsessed with skeleton things right now?

This sweater<3

I love this. so so much. 


She is so pretty. Her hairrrrr. and outfit.


And, there you have it. (: All pictures from Tumblr except for one.

Today was a fun day. And weekend, so far. On Friday, my best friend and I went thrift shopping and then went to a holiday party, but, since her house was next door to the party, we ended up leaving early and going back to her house. And played Chutes and Ladders and Twister with another friend. And it was fun. (:
Today, I went to a school club 'meeting/hangout' and made pajamas (I will explain the pajama thing later) and then my mom, her friend, and I went to Target at 10 at night just for the fun of it. I got a black scarf and reindeer slipper socks which I am not getting until Christmas....I am so excited for the holidays!! : )

xoxo Chandler

P.S. Now go and listen to the She & Him Christmas album. Please. go. Because it is amazing. <3

Is this it?


The first paragraphs of the book I am writing...

Heaven has always been in my religion. But, really, what is religion? Is it believing in something you will never know, or is it a segregation that has boundaries where they should not be. Religion is something very important to me. But, then again, if you think about it, religion is just something humans want to grasp on to, to keep themselves from getting scared of what happens after your heart starts beating. But, maybe it’s the other way around. Maybe when your heart stops beating, your heart starts to beat. Maybe,  there is no such thing as religion, or life at all.
In the act of living, humans think of the afterlife as either nothing, good things, or bad things.  This is all based on the religion in which that person believes in. Every human believes in some type of religion, whether its not believing in God, or it is believing in God, or it is believing in your mind or philosophy. Philosophy is a religion, since you are believing in something that you don’t know is there or not there. But where is this so called ‘there?’ Is ‘there’ just a place that is made up in the mind, not brain, of a person’s thinking. Maybe we are all just crazy. Maybe nothing happens after living or maybe something does. Not knowing is just an excuse for not having the religion of philosophy. Philosophy is the religion of life and death, it is why we are on this planet called Earth, it is why we may not be on this planet called Earth. We could be on a planet or not any planet at all. We can be on a grain of sand or a star or Mars. We can all just be in one’s mind. Not the mind of ‘God‘, but the mind of one’s own. And know one ever knows until the ‘after-life’ or maybe we know now, but we just can’t wrap our minds around it.

Wants in life

I want to be a good writer.

            Therefore, I have to build up my vocabulary

Goal? Read The Book Thief and Breaking Dawn over winter break.

And, that's just the start of it. I want to read as much as I can

and become the fast reader I used to be.



I also want to make all the clothes I have ever dreamed of making.
This starts with my final in Beginners Clothing.

I will also make something out of satin fabric. To show the people who say "beginners in sewing can't sew satin."
And what I have to say to that is...
F*** you.

Another thing? I need to post as much as possible on tumblr.
because tumblr is in my blood

With all these wants in life, I sound stubborn with all these 'wants' in life
But without wanting something you can't achieve something.

I will make second semester of high school better than the first and try to not get as stressed as I am now.
^^^That is one of my New Year's resolutions.

Okay, I should go.


I also want to paint my nails nude. No time for that, I have to do so much homework and studying and annotating this weekend.

Okay. Bye.

--Chandler

I shall go write the first paragrah of my new book now. Or at least attempt at it. Then I have to go get ready to buy a book in which I have to deface thanks to Honors English classes in high school.
Who wants to annotate/deface a Nicholas Sparks book? Ugh.

What the Hell?

Music of the Week 5! (I think?)

Okay, so this is a teenage song. I am pretty sure every teenager can relate to this song. And, who doesn't love Avril Lavigne?

You know when you get asked the question "What is a song you dance around to in your room when no one is looking?" on surveys or something? This is my answer to that question. What the Hell by Avril Lavigne. I will jump around my room while listening to this song anytime. And you should too. See how much fun it is. You will be amazed by it. : )


Okay, I am writing horribly write now so I better go.

Flower Power.

Lately, I have been crazing over boarding doodles of flowers on every paper that is placed into my hands. The reason for this? Drawing flowers make me happy. Flowers have to do with sun and the outdoors, and sunny days make me happy. If I could border my blog with flowers, then I would do it, unfortunately, I don't know how to...

I even wore a shirt covered in cartoon daises yesterday because it made me happy. And, everyone knows that floral patterns never go out of style. They never have and they never will. Whoever thought of putting the pattern of flowers on apparel was a genius. Wow, I should really take a textiles class. Unfortunately, they don't have the textiles class in my period of the design program, which makes me extremely sad.

I remember the days in elementary school when every girl made flower necklaces out of the little white flowers that grew within the grass. I thought it was weird, but now I want to make 1000000 of them. And wear them as crowns, stick them in my hair, and wear them as necklaces. Not all at once though...that may be a little over done. But isn't society over done anyway?

These pictures give me inspiration while I go through my 'Flower Power' stage as a teenager. I wonder what the next stage will be...






pics all from tumblr.


Oh, and I want a backpack like this for school next year.


But one that will hold my books and not rip.

For my Beginners Clothing class in school, the final is finding something in your closet and decorating it or making it into something else. I think I will take my mom's old vintage denim vest which she gave me, and paint a green stripe running vertically on the back and paint it. My mom used to do this to her clothes and it looked so cool. I might also add pictures of cats to the vest, from my fabric which I used for pajamas in the sewing club I am in. 

It seems like a lot of work, but I hope it will be fun.

Besides, I am getting more and more stressed from school. Finals are coming up, and I am buried in homework every night. I hope this will end during winter break. I need a break where I can just sit back, relax, and not worry about a thing. I want to sit by the fire place over winter break and put fuzzy socks on, and read The Book Thief and Breaking Dawn. I have been wanting to read those so bad. In fact, I want to read any book that I don't have to f***ing annotate.

Sorry, I had to rant about something, or else I would have exploded. Okay, I better go do some homework and draw flowers on my papers.
