Shower Thoughts

Streets of Athens, Greece

(Athens on a nice, sunny day. ☀ Unrelating to showers, I know. )

Shower time is my personal thinking time. I’ve become a pro at questioning the most random of the random while I’m scrubbing my hair, as I’m sure it is a good thinking time for other people as well.
So here are some random thoughts I’ve had while being here in Greece. Only have been here a full week and I’ve had a lot on my mind already questioning the differences between Europe and America.

The Wrath of Mercury

Mercury In Retrograde

I have landed in Athens. Been here for a little less than a week. Still adjusting to the time change, have obtained wifi, figured out adapters and convertors that work with my electronics, and I’m slowly making my rounds to visit family.

Everything is fine and dandy now, but I can’t even tell you the hell I went through to get here. All I kept hearing from everyone was “Mercury must be in retrograde“. After I have arrived, I Googled it, and yes yes, Mercury is indeed in retrograde. I don’t know much about astrology, but whenever a situation occurs in which the alignments of the stars and planets affect my everyday day life, I do my research. I read that Mercury affects travel (along with other things), and my travel was affected for sure.

Why Is Alanis Morissette So Good At Covering Songs?

Alanis Morissette Fan Art

You know, I strongly believe that Alanis Morissette does not get the credit she deserves. She’s got an identifiable killer voice and knows how to create amazing and memorable songs. And I feel people don’t appreciate her like they should. She plays an important role in music today. She also took on the role as God in the movie Dogma. So basically, Alanis is God.

Late Night With David Letterman Poster

Did any of you tune into Dave Letterman’s final show last night? It was a show full of montages and a fun top ten list featuring an awesome batch of actors (I may or may not have squealed when Bill Murray appeared). It was definitely an emotional show. I mean, the guy has been on air for 30 years, it’s kinda a big deal.

My Constant Battle With Bangs

Posted on

I want them and then I don’t. I consider chopping them off but want to try and grow them out. I miss them, cut them, and then immediately regret it. I’m affected by the issue of wanting something I can’t have, or immediate gratification that eventually expires or backfires. Whatever the case, I seem to have found myself in a permanent love/hate relationship with my ‘fringe’.

Lost In Translation Fan Art

The past few weeks have been rough for me since finishing up night classes. I guess I’m just anxious for my extended vacation coming up in two weeks. Time has never moved so slow, and it’s been rough trying to fill my days with activities. It’s hard for me to get bored, like, difficult, but I’m really craving change (I’m trying really hard not to take it out on my hair) and this waiting game has gotten me a bit down. Like other human beings, I develop bad habits during moments where I feel down and I’m probably not doing myself or anyone else any favors by feeding depressing things, but since this is appropriate to my life right now, I’m going to feed into it anyway.

Sewing

My Guide To Resizing Shirts

Posted on

Learning to sew really made life easier when it came to shopping. I love thrift shopping, and coming across a shirt that didn’t fit me right was always disappointing. Years of practicing and experimenting eventually helped me look past sizes and buy whatever I liked if I was down to put in the work to fix ’em up.

I thought I’d write up a post sharing my method of resizing shirts. This post was written to downsize, so if you came across a shirt you want to make smaller, carry on!

Upcycle

Veruca Salt Bottle Top Magnets

Posted on

Reusing, upcycling, diy-ing – all things I like to do. Mix that with pop culture, and BAM – me.

My brother for the longest time has been saving bottle tops for reasons I don’t really know of. Kinda made me question how much beer he used to drink, but whatever, it was more surface area for me to work with. I played with bottle tops first with these Gwen Stefani magnets I made. And then I carried on and made these fun Veruca Salt magnets.
