i watched and i waited til she was inside.

Merry (belated) Christmas!
I recieved and gave some amazing gifts. We're heading up island to my Nana's in about 20 minutes, so this'll be a short one.

First of all, i want this, SO badly. By this, i mean Emma Watson, and everything she's wearing.

Secondly, she is officially my newest fashion icon. I've loved her for a while, but now it's official.

She's just so gorgeous, and has her own style. I've been into a more grungy look lately, she tends to lean that way sometimes.

who's there, who is, stoppin for a visit? is that you santa claus?

Christmas is in two sleeps, and i'm ridiculously excited. Tonight i found out that i'll be receiving a pink plush housecoat, and i'm pumped. In my defence i was not snooping, it was behind the couch, which isn't even next to a wall; not very well hidden. I'm hoping that my mother will see this, and let me have it now, enabling me to wear it all day tomorrow. I dyed my hair today, it's so dark, darker than i planned, or wanted, but it's nice. Close to black, which is slightly weird only because i'm 99% sure i dyed my hair a year ago today with the exact same stuff. Shortly after starting my hair i was nervous about not having nearly enough dye. Once all of my hair was finished, i was still left with half a bottle. I used the rest of it as hair gel, putting my hair in funny shapes.

Next to no makeup today. I only got dressed around 4:30 for a short trip to the Salvation Army, i still need winter clothes! I told my mum that i was hoping for some winter dresses, and she practically begged me to wait till Christmas - i wonder what else i'll be unwrapping Friday morning. Sadly, as usual there were hardly any dresses at the local Sally Ann, although i did find a cute 90's vest for $3, and a wool coat for $7. My new coat is gray, much too big for me, missing a pocket, and my mother says that it makes me look homeless. I absolutely love it. Also, my response to her shot at my coat was "you look homeless," brilliant Shaelee, brilliant.

Also i've made a daily booth, it's so much fun. It kinda like twitter, only for photo's.

the fact that this is my 70th post makes me laugh, simply because my last one was my 69th,

So, i'll skip any apologies about being absent for so long. Oh well. Yesterday was our school's annual "Winter Semi-Formal', held in the commons. Being able to even hold this dance was a big deal, seeing as a large percentage of students were caught drunk out of their minds at the last dance. Because of this shadowy past, our school made a big deal over letting everyone know that there would be breathalyzers, and any one under suspicion, or 'at random', would be tested. Me and my two friends were tested when we walked through the doors, thirty minutes late, although they are both in grade 12 this year, and one was caught drunk last year. As we walked in the front doors, after klumzily going the wrong way a chill teacher, a new councilor guy, and a lady cop confronted us.
"Alright, random breathalysing test, who wants to go...you(?)." Pointing at the twin who knew the police officer personally.
"Uh...sure," throughout the process of watching her blow on the plastic tube, me and my other friend were laughing quietly.
"Oops, didn't work, try again"
We continued with our laughter.
Anyways, the usually exciting, over-the-top school dance, was a complete fail... maybe not complete, but now what i had expected. The school's hang out area was filled with an awkward squish of scene ninth graders, still very excited tenth graders, a few handfuls determined to have fun eleventh graders, and very little why am i even here grad students. Not exactly a complete success. Our school also purchased about 300 breathalyzer tubes, and 190 students showed for the occasion.
J-Hump didn't play Party In The USA either, i'm not okay with this. A good ninety-seven Miley crazed students joined a facebook group in petition, too.
I wore a black and pink dress, with black floral lace, i found it as Sirens with Bri the day before. It resembled the dress i 'made' for the last formal. I borrowed a studded belt to go with, found myself a matching bracelet, and a chain-like necklace. Black tights and shiny black pumps from Super Store completed my look, making me feel extremely bad-ass.
The funniest part though, instead of going to the school dance, it's rumored that some students vandalized all of the school buses. There's no proof that EMCS students had anything to do with it, but i think it would make sense. While all the cops in town were at the local high school dance, there were none anywhere else in town on a Thursday night. Some seats were torched, doors ripped off, tires sliced, and spray paint everything. Bloody genius, it seems well thought out. On the plus side for anyone wanting to go to another school dance, the school board shouldn't be able to blame it on the school / dances. Anyone that had anything to do with the dance, was obviously at the school, so they couldn't have had anything to do with the vandalizing.
For the past couple on nights, i've been barely surviving the cold, so i've practically been living in Tia's American Eagle sweater / shirt. I slept in this morning, though i still had an hour to wait until my step-dad would be able to drive me to school. The opportunity was just too good to turn down, today i wore black jeans, Tia's cosy shirt, and red converse. It was a good day, sorta.
At this moment i am sitting on Mariah's couch, boiling from the heat of the laptop, heater, and fake fireplace. Mariah is snoring on the fold out chair. It is about three am, 2:55 to be exact, and i'm wide awake. Likely only because i'm writing, once i stop i'll probably crash. I just finished watching Home Alone, and i'm so glad that it's the Christmas season. I honestly don't think i've ever been so excited for this holiday, it's supposed to snow tomorrow too.
yaaaaaaaaay!
