Well, it was my birthday 6 days ago ( April 20 ) and I got some good stuff, including a Bannana Republic boyfriend jacket, a new Marc Jacobs purse, two MJ bracelets and a necklace, "No Room for the Blues" from OPI, a really nice easel, and some other stuff.
Today I got my prom dress :)
Good god, I never thought I would wear a fully beaded dress. I'm usually not that flashy, hahaha. Anyway, it's turquoise with some lime beads interspearsed among the turquoise and blue ones. What's really funny is that the poor alterations woman is going to have to take off like, 30% of the bottom because I'm so freaking short.
Even looking at the dresses is overwhelming for me because they're taller than I am.
My best friend is going to college at Ohio University.
She's been gone since March and won't be back until the end of May.
I miss her, because Facebook messenger is just not the same.
Phone conversations are alright, mostly because we can(and have) sit on the phone and talk about nothing for two hours, but it's not like hanging out, and actually being together.
There are no Dirty Jobs with Mike Rowe marathons, or episodes of What Not to Wear/ the really awful wedding show that comes on after. We haven't had bon-fires in 30 degree weather with Grape Crush and s'mores. There have been no nights spent laying on our backs looking up at the stars on her dock, no terrible golfing. So serious cooking, in which we pick recipies from bon appeteit and gourmet and then make them into delicious meals.
She's only a year older than me, but started school early, and so is two grades ahead of me.
Let me reiterate; I miss her.

Helllllllloooo again!
It's been an awfully long time, hasn't it?
Well, I was deathly ill for a week, and two weeks later, still sick.
I went back to the doctor today, still no idea what it is that i have, but I now have three new prescriptions WOOHOO. not really.
I've had cortizone shots, prednizone, i'm on a decongestant and a cough supressant, and now they're giving me anti-biotics of some kind, an inhaler to clear up my passages, nasal spray, and something different for the cough. I'm going to walking around as a giant medication.
What was really sad about all of this is that since I'm brazillian and usually don't burn ( Though unfortunatley, I don't really end up that nice golden color that some people get. I'd describe it more as ... a less red terracotta. Ce la vie.), I wore a sunscreen with an spf of 6. It did not, however, occur to me that the medication would cause a change in my tolerance to sun. It did. I have never burned so badly in my life. I could peel skin off of my nose in sheets. When my shoulders started peeling, instead of being normal underneath like it usually is, it was burnt still.
Awful, awful, awful. My deepest sympathies to all of you with fair skin, it must be miserable.
In any case, I visited SCAD ( Savannah College of Arts and Design ) while I was down there. While Savannah is one of my favorite places in the world, and I obviously like it so much more than Detroit, I was all in all not very impressed with the school. If I do decide on art school, I think I could much more justify the cost by going to CCS (College for Creative Studies). All I can say is that the program looks stronger, even though it's a smaller school.
No school today! AND it was 84 degrees out! The weather in MI is so A.D.D. it was like, 45 the other day. But anyway, hows that for a Things I Love Thursday?
I have pictures of Savannah that I took for a photography competition, so after they're developed, I'll upload. It's such a beautiful place.
ALSO.
I can now cross two things off of my "I've been looking for this forever" Checklist
I bought the cutest bf jacket from Bannana Republic, it fits beautifully. The only downside to it was that the fabric will catch lint, but I can find a little lint roller for my purse. :)
And I scored an adorable and SUPER comfortable pair of wedges.
As this one woman on What Not to Wear said, (who by the way was great) (and imagine this in a Jersey accent) Thay're freak-in comftable!
I loved that episode, she was hilarious.
I really want MAC lipstick in Vegas Volt. I <3 coral! It looks really nice with every skin tone :)
