FOB Time :)

Yes yes yes...it is common knowledge that I wish I was a FOB - fresh off the boat, although if you don't know what it stands for, you probably shouldn't be using it. Meaning, I wish I had been born in some Asian country, allowing me to be uber cute and silly with an excuse..."Oh, she's a fob."

But anyway, I'm getting into that mood again....because it's getting closer and closer to that time...TAIWAN TIME! My dad pretty much lives in Taiwan now, so we'll be staying with him in Ling Kou, but we'll be spending much of our time in and around Taipei, Taipei = :D pure happiness. We also might be taking a mini trip to Japan, particularly since one of our party has never been...and of course, that ups the cuteness factor :) If we do that, we'll be staying in Tokyo, and I'll probably get in my fix of asian adorable-ness. And don't even get me started on the food...there will be many. many. many pictures.

the only saving grace...

This past weekend, I went back home to take a breather away from school and drama and such. With a friend, I went to go see Watchmen which i had only heard lukewarm reviews about...and now i understand.

Watchmen seemed like the longest movie i have ever seen, which is strange, because i didn't even think it did well in conveying the plot clearly - afterwards I had to wiki/imdb it because i was still a little confused. i just didnt feel that the characters were understandable/relatable...i'm surprised at myself for not falling asleep!

I will say this though, jackie earle haley as Rorschach was A-tothe-MAZING! i think he was the sole reason i stayed awake (stayed in the movie theater, even!) because toward the middle/end i really sympathized with his character. i wanted to see this twisted guy, made such by his past, emerge victorious, and just the way that he took down his enemies....just WOW.

Although watchmen was a total failure IMO, haley definitely has a new fan :)

it was a bad decision...

legal studies kicked my butt. no more polyvore until i can bring grades up :( - along with facebook! yikes!

Question: Can you, or should you, be friends with someone you know you can't trust? Would you put in the effort to maintain a relationship if you know you can't confide in that person?

Legal Studies...or polyvore?

I thought I had gotten my polyvore-ing out of my system during my bio session, but apparently not. I let it cut into my legal studies study!

I was doing so well; I even refrained from watching the latest episode of boys over flowers! But unfortunately for my gpa...I was sucked in once again to Polyvore. This time, I got a little more creative and started adding backgrounds.

Here is one from my bio craze -

Although this outfit makes me drool, as a set it's a little on the boring side.

Sooo, being inspired by some of the sets I saw on the site...I present you with one of the sets I made during what SHOULD have been Legal Studies study time!

Much prettier, yes? I really think I'm in the spring mode, because I keep seeing these adorable floral, brightly-patterned pieces and feeling the need to build outfits around them. I'm planning on going Spring Break shopping with a friend this weekend, so I guess we'll see what this spring-like itch brings me :)

Okay okay, I shall return to my diligent studying...

Polyvore addict

I just spent the majority of my bio class polyvore-ing...and realized I have a problem.

For those of you who have not stumbled upon the miracle of polyvore, you really have to try it - and by you, I mean people who take interest in fashion and colors and pretty, materialistic things :)

Basically, you start off with a blank slate, and polyvore supplies you with multitudes of clothes, accessories, shoes, etc. to pick from. You can create exciting outfits - you know, those ones that you would want to wear, but never have the courage to - within minutes. It's super easy, and you can easily find many of the items there for purchase. They have stuff from forever21 and wet seal as well as designer clothing, so it doesn't matter what your budget is.

This is my very first polyvore set:

And thus began my fascination with gold jewelry - I used to avoid the stuff like crazy!

Here is my first set from my polyvore craze in bio class -


Happy Spring - by debbiethadork on Polyvore.com

I started off with the dress, which I LOVE, and built the rest of the outfit from the various colors and patterns.


....as you can see, very addicting.

Happy Polyvore-ing! Friend me so I can see your sets :)
