Good God.

Make it stop.

Stop the world, I want to get off

I can not believe how quickly this year has gone by. I remember in September thinking how the weeks were dragging on but once October came it's been a nonstop roller coaster ride through life. And now I'm sitting here with two weeks left of school studying for finals. Is the rest of my life planning on flying by this fast?

I finished off my casework for Urban Soc by spending time at a crisis center for women who were victims of domestic abuse, child prostitution, trafficking, the list goes on. In the center, there is a room specifically designated for crying. It is completely unfurnished except for blue matting on the floor, reminiscent of my gymnastics days, but used for those who prefer punching out their frustrations. These women will go in there for as long as they need to and scream, sob, and bang their heads until they've exhausted themselves and feel like they have achieved some sort of release. While I find this rather upsetting to watch (it's not every day that you see a bunch of grown women sobbing like children), it is entirely necessary for their healing process.

Doing casework has really changed my outlook on life. The world is a pretty fucked-up place, and I'm not sure if I'm going to be ready to leave my perfect college bubble of keggers and theme parties in two fucking years.

Obviously I can't just bury my head in the ground and hope my problems go away, but is there a fucking pause button for life? Or at least a crying room for the rest of us?

Happy Holidaysssss

What a week.... 4/20, my birthday, and Easter rolled up into 5 days. I've been MIA for a while, mainly because juggling work and finals has been driving me to drink (a lot) during what little free time I actually have. Enjoy my combined theme of 420 and Easter picture. I worked very very hard (10 minutes tops) on it. How cute is that little stoner bunny??
Happy Holidaze Everyone! Talk to ya soon!

WHAT...the fuck.

Please tell me I'm not the only one that has to put up with the absolute bullshit that amounts to Blogger's formatting.

I was looking through my "50 things I hate" post and saw that I made a miniscule typo. So I went to edit the post, literally changed two letters in a single word, and published it. Now the entire post is a complete mess, and I honestly don't even know where to begin in fixing it.

The post was laid out and numbered 1-50, but now instead of a long list it's one giant clusterfuck of a paragraph. I went back and pressed enter after numbers 1-50, but when I published, nothing changed.

This is not the first time I've wanted to punch my keyboard because of blogger. The line spacing issues are complete bullshit as well, and if I'm trying to post pictures, I won't be done fucking around with my post for a good hour.
I am seriously becoming miserable because of these formatting issues, and if this keeps happening, I'm so switching to Wordpress.

I have but one question...

Why the HELL didn't this shit show up in my life until now?

How to Make Every Other Girl's Boobs Look Boring.

Yep, I've finally hand-bejeweled my very own bra, and it only took 2 nights and about half an eighth. I've got to say I'm quite pleased with myself, there is definitely nothing out there like this unless you're willing to drop a pretty big chunk of change. I ended up gluing a design in the center between the two cups as well, but this is a general idea of the end product. If you want your own bedazzled boobies then I can show you what I did and you can figure the rest else for yourself.

So obviously, you need a bra to start off with. I wanted a black background behind the jewels so I

bought this black demi from Target. You don't have to get a new one, you can just use any old

one if you wanna save cash, but all my black bras were too meshy or too lacy to use.

I just went down that aisle in Michael's with all the rhinestones and grabbed anything I liked. I tried to go for a variety of colors and shapes, and yes I bought more than you can see in the picture. I just took out all the doubles and triples so you could get an idea of the variety.

I used a glue by Loctite that the guy from Home Depot recommended to me. I was about two seconds from just buying Gorilla Glue when I saw this shit. I'm so glad I did because this stuff has awesome hold, but is still really flexible, which is good considering there is going to be some

substantial movement when this bra is actually worn.

I started by lining the outer edges of the band with these square shaped crystals (see below) in white to give

the bra somewhat of a border.

Surprisingly, I actually did start off with a general pattern despite how chaotic the end result

looks. I placed the larger jewels in diagonal lines and then tried to place the few shapes around and in between to look random. Then I basically just worked my way with smaller and smaller jewels until the gaps were filled.

Don't ask why I decided to do one cup at a time, I guess it would have just gotten way too

repetitive.

It took me the entire first night to do about 3/4 of the first cup and then the second night I had more of a hang on my technique which made me finish the rest up in less time. I recommend using a pair of jewelry tweezers (or a cosmetic pair you don't care about getting glue on) and squeezing a drop large enough to expand only slightly larger than the bottom of the gem when pressed into the bra. You want the glue to expand out slightly because it will ensure the jewels are secured on not only by their foil backing, but the actual plastic as well. If you don't, then the plastic will eventually fall of and all that will remain is the foil. Trust me. Other than that, good luck and enjoy your blinged boobs. ;)

New Grinder.

It glows in the dark. Dope sauce.
