Aerial Hooping.

I've been thinking a lot about how much I've taken my health for granted. I drink, and I smoke way too much. I'm on medication right now that forbids me to drink, but occassionally I have nights where that's what I do - drink. I drink to quiet my thoughts, to let loose, and be social. But then after every single one of those nights I am hung over, tired, and grumpy. I sit in bed and say to myself - " Self, why the hell did I go out last night?". Granted I used to do this 3 times a week, now it's only down to once a week. Baby steps, folks. I have been doing so great in school and would hate to mess that up now. I am the youngest of my group of friends, surrounded by amazingly talented people. Being the youngest, I've been thinking about just that...my youth. The years I've wasted inside my head. I've been in Dialectical Behavior Therapy for six months and I am beginning to awake from the slumber in which I've been for so many years now. All I want to do is run. Laugh. Love. I've been missing out on so much, which brings me to my next adventure...Aerial Hooping!! Yes, I have been wanting to learn how to aerial hoop ( a long with about a million other things ) for so long now and have finally found the person to teach me. This Saturday morning, the lessons begin! Wish me luck kids, I'm going to need it. xo

Summer's Coming...

Getting a bit sick of the cold, ready to break out my summer wardrobe. While browsing through Etsy I found this clean and simple white linen dress circa 1950. I enjoy simplicity, and especially LOVE anything within the 50's/ 60's era and wish I could teleport to back when things were...well, SIMPLE. Anyway, back to studying, listening to Devendra Banhart, and daydreaming...xo.

SXSW 2010

So I found this picture of Yasmin and I last year for SXSW at Red Fez. SXSW is my favorite time of year. Great shows, great people, beautiful weather ( well, er sorta ). Rain or shine, it's always a great time. This year's lineup includes MANY of my favorites, such as Crystal Method - who were supposed to play last year, but the party got shut down ( Boooo!! ). It's going to be study, study, study, until SXSW and then it's on....like donkey kong.

Drool!

When I get homesick, I order Mexican food. Of course none if it ever compares to my Abuelita's cooking and makes me miss her even more! What's her specialty? Chicken Mole', of course. Yummmm....

Fresh.

So thanks to my new partner in blog crime, Tran - I've been inspired change the subject of the blog... Some of my favorite things, and not so favorite things. Whatever tickles my fancy.
