Vampire Weekend ~ Campus

The Fashionista in me

I never had a certain kind of Fashion style. I usually dressed up in a T-shirt and Jeans. A cut up (usually punk) band T-shirt and old tattered patched up skinny jeans and and old black patched hooded sweater, studded belt to get into detail. In brief I will say that I dressed punk. I have mentioned before, I am still punk at heart, I just don't dress it.

So my latest way of dressing is a more vibrant, brightly floral patterns and clean make-up which is coming a long way from the punk look. Almost the opposite of before. But I'm liking it. I enjoy wearing dresses and showing my feet more wearing sandals and flats rather than having them all covered up with Chucks or heavy boots.

I found many stores that carry awesome clothes for the plus size mamasitas so there's no more making excuses for dressing up. I like how I learned how to dress and flaunt what I got.

I'm just starting to dress up like this I have to re-stock my closet with nice pieces and nice shoes. It's exciting. Now when I go to the mall I don't just stop to those few stores that only carry dark colors, I now shop at all the other stores.

Oh, did I mention I also started collecting purses and hand bags??? Oh, yea! LOVE IT so Let's Go shopping ;)

Day 7: Drugs and Alcohol

I'm one of those "Drug Free is the Way to Be" and "Lose the Booze"  people. But ask for my outlook about the matter 3 years ago, I'd say "Whatever, it's your choice, and if I want to have fun, I'll do it" . That's not the case anymore.

One day I was thinking about how drugs and alcohol change the person that you are and turn you into something totally different, and it's not good change either.

Drugs can literally fuck you up for life the first time you do it or try it. That's a major lose. The same goes with alcohol. I'm glad to say that I know how to have fun as much as drug and alcohol users do without the extra ingredients. Besides, it's nice to have good memories that one can actually remember.

I don't really want to get too into this right now. Which I should, but I just don't feel like it.

Day 5: Nightmare

An entry about a nightmare I had.

I hardly had any nightmares as an adult(I'm 21), at least non that I can remember after waking up. However when I was a kid(about 4 or 5) I would have night tremors.

I remember seeing a black dog most of the time. For what I can remember it looked like it was either a big, fury, Chow Chow or a Husky. I remember sometimes seeing it viciously biting my brother or one of my sibling and me yelling and everyone around me to help but no one would help. According to my parents and older sibling, I would be kicking and screaming and crying and I wasn't able to wake up. I would eventually wake up crying and no one being able to console me and then eventually falling back asleep.

On one occasion, I remember having a similar dream except this time when I woke up I wasn't crying I was just calm, as if nothing had happened, and I saw my entire family just starring at me. Their eyes wide open all freaked out looking, and one of my oldest sisters crying. She then told me that she feared for me and was glad to see that I woke up calmly. After that my mom took me to the M.D. nothing was diagnosed. I guess everything was normal, so then my mom started taking me to prayer group and I would enjoy it(still do). After that, they went away.

Weeeird Ain't it??

Day 1: About Me

About Me?  Well I am definitely Human. I have emotions. Some emotions I chose to share, others, I prefer to Hide. I was born and partly raised in Los Angeles, CA which would explain some of the 'toughness' I may have to show from time to time. I am of Mexican decent, but I'm not all 'Brown Pride/Chicano Pride' status.

I currently work in a small business office as the office administrator. Since it's a small business, it would explain why I have so much computer time on my hands..BLOG BLOG BLOG...I don't go to school anymore. I'm one of those people that never cared much for school but never had trouble either. Eventually I'll go back.

In my free time I like to blog, write, read, draw, paint, play guitar & bass, cook, play video games and chill with friends. And I can listen to music ALL DAY! Free time or not I'm either listening to music or I'm singing a song in my head. I love writing. Sometimes I just write whatever pops up, even if it's just a thought. If I don't have a pen and paper available I'll put it on my draft so that I can write it down later on. I've been able to write songs(I yet have to develop them fully) and poems that way.

Music is a great huge part of me. I grew up listening to Corridos, Oldies, Gangsta Rap(N.W.A, Wu-Tang etc), Underground hip-hop, and some pop. It was usually music that either my Dad or Bro would bump on a Saturday morning while they washed up their car. Now, I'm more into folk, Indie and Punk. I'm a huge fan of M. Ward (talented sweetie from She and him and Monsters of Folk) and I am LOVING IT! Sometimes music is the only thing that keeps me sane. I can't see my life without music.

I'm also one of those people with a mental health problem. I have a Panic/ anxiety disorder, You know the one that some people don't take seriously. I was glad when the M.D. suggested I do more Yoga, take bubble baths and listen to music for therapy. I'm getting better now and I'm happy to say that once again MUSIC saves my life from those stupid, annoying/horrible attacks. I don't get them as often or as bad as before.  

I'm also the fat chick. I've been Chubbs since I was born! It's another little obstacle I have to over come sometimes. Yea there's those mean people who try to talk shit, but that's when I use my bitch, tough inner self to put them back in their place. But the one thing that bothers me more is when I can't find clothes that fit .But I have been able to manage during the years and I'm glad to say I have found my fashion style. I do well now.

There's plenty more about me that is to be said. It will have to hold for another time. In the mean time. Let the Challenge Begin!
