16 candles

So it actually took quite a bit out of me to sit down and not be a butthead and actually blog rather than rant about online scams. I don't know why I'm so awful at following up with things in general, it's in my genes I guess. Or jeans, whichever will probably work. I literally come home, get on tumblr, compulsively check my grades, and don't do my homework. That's about right. So last week was actually my birthday (FINALLY 16 BREAK OUT THE CIGARETTES AND-- wait nevermind) and I was planning on writing this post a lot earlier. But thanks to finals and the fact that we'll all be dead tomorrow, I decided to do it now whilst I'm not at school. The Sunday before my birthday, my mom and her boyfriend took me out to eat and got me the most wonderful Tiffany's bracelet a precocious teenage girl would most certainly enjoy. My mom told me she would get me a corsage to wear to school on my birthday cus apparently that's what they did when she was growing up. Instead, I made a wonderful, Rookie-inspired, flower crown! PICS OR IT DIDN'T HAPPEN.

It's really hard for me to take a picture with a serious expression as you can probably tell.

 I actually made this detachable collar awhile ago but never mustered up the ability to actually put it on. I really like this outfit because pastels and greatness and sequins and candy hearts. I have another detachable collar that's white with the same red hearts (seen on my dress in this photo) and little pinkish, ivory-ish, pearls lining the bottom of it. I put them on my tumblr and Rookiemag reblogged it which I was (and still am) very excited about.

Dress: from Charlotte; Collar: handmade

This'll probably be a really long post seeing it is that I have numerous amounts of pictures from various birthday events. Well maybe just one really awesome event. My school has something called open mic club where anyone can come and read poetry, sing, do stand-up, drop some mad beats, eat cookies, drink juice, etc. It's supposed to be once a month and I usually just bring my keyboard or guitar. Or I just go and watch and talk to people. It was really nice cus they all sang happy birthday to me and my boyfriend came and and and and it was just really amazing, what a wonderful 16th birthday present. I took a buttload of pictures there (along with some embarrassing selfies) of the various talents that went and performed. 

It was Christmas sweater themed and an all around spectacle. I brought my guitar and sang 'My Number' by Tegan and Sara which I was supposed to do with Megan but she got there kinda late. This was the first open mic I've been to where people actually read poetry which was incredibly rad because I would be way too nervous to basically read my diary out loud (.....that's what poetry is right).
