hobthrush

{what's a hobthrush? nothing more than an amusing word that conjures up a terribly interesting image.}

Well, here I am, waiting for my turn onstage at drama rehearsal, watching two of my fellow thespians struggle through the twentieth repetition of an incredibly awkward stage kiss.

skirt and hat: goodwill // tights: american eagle // boots: timberland
// shirt and sweater: abercrombie & fitch
{my outfit yesterday}

Here I am, half-doing my homework, annoyed at the world for making me go back to school.

I wore my mustache necklace for the first time today and I've lost count of how many people said "why do you have a mustache around your neck?" I mean, what do you say to that? Because I feel like it? Because I'm just that manly? Mainly I just raise it to my lip and ask why they were staring at me.

Here I am, aching and tired (I don't think my new mattress quite agrees with me), hating the Victorian people who invented badminton, the curse I now must perform in gym class, my makeup smudged from laughing so hard that I cried backstage.

Here I am, back at school after a week of vacation, my messenger bag heavy and my Converse squeaking on the floor wet with slush and melted snow. People say today ought to have been a snow day, it was snowing so hard, but now it's all turned to nasty rain.

Also from yesterday. Sigh. Come back, summer, please...

Here I am, counting the days until April vacation, and it isn't even March yet.

Here I am, about to get up and go recite my lines.

Here I am, looking forward to going home so I can install the new look for March.

Here I am.

{Oof. I just read through all that and wow, that is a big potato sack full of complain! What can I say? I was having a bad day. Maybe I should just stick to posting on happy days, haha... *wanders off glassy-eyed to turn off the radio* ...or on days when I am not quite so tired.}

  7. *gasp* Oliviayouaresoamazingwithblogdesign. I am jealous. ;-)

    On the other hand, it's okay. Sometimes we just have bad days and need to let some steam out.

    By the way, my brother is Noah Estes, [wheelsfornoah.com] I saw that you donated a free picture from your Etsy shop...thank you! That was really sweet. <3

  20. Like your new design Olivia! And your awesome outfit! :) When people asked about your necklace, you should've said, 'Why don't you have a mustache around your neck?' haha, I wonder why people asked you that. What kinda question is that?! :)

  21. I just found your blog linked from someone else's. Great job on it! I love your pictures:)

  22. I have a name tag I wear in my hair, and I get lots of questions about it too :)

    I really like the skirt you're wearing! It reminds me of my kilt I have to wear when I dance {which weighs 3000 pounds! :P}

    Eek! A stage kiss would be so awkward!

    I actually used the sentence 'my converse squeaking on the floor' in a story once!

    I like the new layout for your blog! It's really clean and 'March'-y!
