Yesterday & Today & Tomorrow: Shaving Cream & Warhol & Strangers
Posted by teenagetimes in D.I.Y., Miscellaneous, Shopping on June 24, 2011
Hey there.
So, since I didn’t post a post I meant to post yesterday, which was quite long, I’ll sum it up for you quickly. I realize now that it isn’t exactly worth an entire post, for it’s just a small way to make something look more interesting, like a wooden plaque or white notebook. After this, it’s Andy Warhol time! And after that? A website I found.
I recently acquired some small wooden plagues. Obviously, these plaques were plain and ugly. I made them look less plain and ugly(in my opinion) by mastering the art of shaving cream mixed with food coloring. The result and how-to is below, mathematical form.
Alright, moving on to today. After weeks of anticipation, I finally got to see the Andy Warhol exhibit! It was rad. Super rad. My love for him grew tenfold. Anyway, the gift shop wasn’t as rad, but had some rad items for sale. Rad rad rad.
A paperweight/super magnet, a little notebook (the famous Campbell’s Soup photograph, with a quote on the spine/top: “Everyone and everything is interesting.”), and a quote sticker set(which I’ll make into magnets). The experience was incredibly rewarding, mentally and materially.
Arriving home, I found a small package that came in the mail. Inside was a full-size lipgloss…I hadn’t ordered anything online, though. So after some brief thinking, I realized that I had entered for this, it was that Jordana lipgloss that Seventeen was giving away to the first thousand people! Jeez, it was from April. They sure took their time. (: I’m super grateful, though, obviously. It’s a color I’ll wear and everything, so I’m excited.
I might do a review, since it’s not a well-known brand yet.
As for the Tomorrow bit of this post, I just have a website to keep you entertained for a short period of time. Ever heard of Omegle.com? It’s where you “Talk to Strangers!” And strangers they are. I love the no-commitment, total anonymity of it. Problems? Of course. Occasionally, there are some FREAKY FREAKS on there. Hey, it comes with the territory.
Anyway, I guess that’s the post. Sunday’s the True Blood and Leverage premiere, and Monday’s Weeds. Not much else going on, except next Thursday I’m getting braces (the dentist said they’re pretty late on it; I feel old), Friday’s a haircut, and Saturday we might go canoeing for the first time? Oh…no.
And with that, I leave you with this:

Let’s Launch Summer
Posted by teenagetimes in Miscellaneous on May 28, 2011
Howdy.
So, it’s officially summer break. Not summer, but summer break. And I couldn’t possibly be more excited.
This year, I have several events and projects I’m taking on. My projects list is absolutely overflowing, due to the lack of events(oh, Journey’s Backyard BBQ, where art thou?) that’ll be storming through. Mostly, though, I wont be going to any concerts, besides a freebie one at Universal in July. Why? Because I’m going to a super epic concert in August, and since it’s my birthday present(July 30th is the big day:), I got backstage passes. It was the most expensive gift ever, since my mom is tagging along, too. The cost? Censored. The artist? KATY PERRY. ❤ Annnnnnnnnnyway, I’ve listed my summer outline below.
Annnnnnnnnnnnd away we go…
***Projects
Learn to crochet.
Learn the ukulele.
Become better at the trombone.
Bake macaroons properly.
Bake properly, in general.
Renovate my room.
Get a “look”, as far as make-up is concerned.
Be more “daring” with clothes and hair.
Get a legit tan. No farmers’ allowed.
Re-do eating habits.
Turn my movie shelf into an 80’s classics archive.
Appreciate what I have, not what I don’t have.
That one above? Consider it my passageway into becoming a better Buddhist.
Enjoy all types of music. Even that crappy crap.
Um…yeah. Pretty hefty list, but I think I’ll survive. I’ll try to do blog posts updating my success and failures with all that.
***Events
National Donut Day – June 3rd
Free Krispy Kreme donut. You’re welcome.
Andy Warhol Exhibit Opening – June 24th
He’s absolutely, without-a-doubt my idol.
Orlando Vacation – July 5th to July 12th
Harry Potter theme park! Free BoysLikeGirls concert! Manatee snorkeling! First trip to an H&M! YAY!!
Harry Potter & The Deathly Hallows, Part 2 – July 15th
Brother’s Birthday – July 18th
My Birthday – July 30th
Summer Break Ends – August 3rd
Katy Perry Concert(MEET and GREET?!? Holla!) – Late August
So, not very many big-deal events, aye? Good enough, though. (:
~~~
So, so. That’s it for now. Yesterday, I saw Hangover 2. Best sequel ever, obviously. Tomorrow, I’ll see Kung Fu Panda 2. Can’t wait. Today, I didn’t see a movie. However, I did finally get a Streekers and a TokiDoki Unicorno (blindboxed). Yes, yes.
Oh my god, I’m so SICK of these low res pictures!
I’ll keep you updated. As always. (;

Zoe
….And please excuse the mess of a layout we’ve got going on here. It’s a total, pukey-color mess. I’m totally wigging out about it, but never fear, it’ll all be over soon. (Points for that ’90s terminology. You know it.)
