jane: the closet hipster.

here's another of my obsessions.
HIPSTERS.
for real. especially men in plaid button ups and glasses. mmmm yes please.
and indie music. i'm rather fond of that.
so, for halloween, i decided to be a hipster (well, originally i was going to be a cat lady with my roommate, but...who knew DI could be so uncooperative??) out came the sock bun and old 3D glasses and skinny jeans and plaid shirt.
     *(side note, i texted penelope about my costume and her response was: "haha nice. So          skinny jeans and a scarf? Oh wait. That's what you always wear haha.")

fabulous, no?

you KNOW i will be wearing this to class tomorrow. what UP.
i'm really excited.

also, in response to penelope's post yesterday, i am posting my new indie album.

in short, halloween this year is going to be fabulous.
sincerely,

ps, if you feel like being a hipster yourself, just not so sure how to go about it, watch this tutorial. i found it rather informative.

Jane Is.

i like collages. collages are fun. i like picture collages, but i like word ones, too.
i am...

I am the first strains of a piano piece. I am the subtle change from night to morning: blue to orange and pink and purple… I am the sun on an early summer morning. I am taco soup on a cold day (replenished with sour cream and Fritos.) I am the smooth underside of a rock, the mountain firm in its ways: strong, steadfast, hopeful. I am the first snow of winter. I am a good book, one whose cover gives nothing away. I am a mystery and the revelation. I am the listening ear and the observant eye. I am the surprising comment.

One day. If I can ever justify spending so much money on a remote.

This is the chosen one.

 

cuteness overload.

I went to the zoo on my way home today to see the zoo's latest addition. This darling little creature doesn't have a name yet, but she is 11 days old and was put on display yesterday.

 She is tiny and wrinkly and perfect!

as if that wasn't enough my mom showed me this today. I died.

hey girl.

basically, i have an amazing roommate who knew i was having a bad day. and decided to make me this.
it almost made me cry from pure joy. i mean, my own hey girl?? what more could you ask for in life??
not much, my friends. not much.
i am feeling very grateful for friends who make my life a little bit more enjoyable on those days when it may be too much for me to handle.
other things that made me smile today:
-i remembered GENERAL CONFERENCE is this weekend!
-penelope is coming to see me. happy day indeed!! i have missed that girl. too much.
-the new Regina Spektor album. in particular these songs:

oh, how i adore her. she can do no wrong.
that is all.
