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?
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,
"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!

the rules of attraction.
click here to see the best part.
I don't know what to wear with the boots tomorrow! I'm thinking a skirt (of course!), and blue knee high socks. It's still pretty cold out though, so i may freeze like that. Also, i'm not sure where exactly the socks are. Poo.

and today was a day just like any other.
There was a U2/Black Eyed Peas concert a couple of weeks ago, i went to it, with my mother. Originally (months and months ago), she was supposed to go with her hubby, but then some shit came up, and i went instead. It was pretty fun, we had floor tickets, although it took 4 workers to tell us that, idiots. Then we had to go through 3 more blue vested foreigners, and teenagers to actually get to the floor. I have no idea what that was all about, but it was pretty dumb. No offence to my mum, but i don't ever recommend going to a concert with a mother, especially not if it's yours. And especially not if you love to dance, mosh, and go crazy, because most moms don't like doing said activity, apparently. Also, maybe it's just mine, but she was slightly crazy over this guy who was "sliming" me, even though i didn't notice it. But apparently he was "rubbing up against me the entire time," then again, we were on the floor.
It took us 45 minutes to get from the stadium to our hotel, by then it was 2am, this included stopping at a 711 so i could get a slushie (i thought it was a smart idea at the time,) and my mum could get a microwave burger. We arrive, freezing and wet, it turns out the heater in our room is broken, and i forgot pajamas. boo. We were forced to awake at 5am, and catch a 6:30 ferry back to the island, this way my mum could pic up Noah and Lacey from their grandparents' house. I'm not sure why exactly, but i figured "what the hell?", and went to school. I always tend to do that, when Noah was born, i was woken up at midnight, went back to bed around 4, and insisted on going to school that day. I was in the 4th grade, btw.
I'm not sure, but i believe it was the beginning of October when i met a nice lady named Kristy. She sold me a brilliant breast cancer tshirt, and told me she would be willing to sell some of my things, depending on the quality. She soon sent me a message on facebook, although i still haven't replied, due to stupid reasons. Well, pretty much i never uploaded pictures of that blue dress i meddled with over the summer, and that was all i really had to show her. I just uploaded it along with some images for this post, so maybe i'll reply tonight, letting her know i'm not ridiculously immature for not responding to a business offer. Anyways, this is the breast cancer shirt she designed, and how i wore it.
I found the cutest dress, ever, at The Patch in October. It's a cream colour, with a peculiar lace. I didn't notice until after i bought it, and was sitting in English class playing with the hem, that the lace looks like millions of little spider webs. Too cute! I believe it was later on that night when i came upon the John Patrick (organic) Fall Collection on my search for some good fall fashion. My feet are always wet, cold, and i never have anything good for current weather conditions. Damn i'm unprepared. Anyways, i'm absolutely in love with the outfit on the right, in the 5th picture down. I attempted to reconstruct it with whatever clothes i could find laying in my dirty pile. (Pretty much everything was in the dirty pile at that moment, i still need to do laundry actually). My lace dress almost reminds me of the black lace dress to the left, also in the 5th image down. The last outfit is something i know i'll be wearing more than i should. That turtle neck is just so comfortable, and perfect for fall! I still adore that skirt more than nearly anything, and it goes with practically everything.
Holy crap, so i just realised it's 11:30 pm, and i have school tomorrow, as i do every other Monday. Although this past week i've received next to no sleep with the hockey tournament. We lost all of out games btw. I'll hopefully continue this tomorrow, although likely not.
Good night!

suffocated by stress, my life is a mess.
Today I also started creating my 'Movie Play list', yeah I caved, although I would like to admit that so far it's pretty awesome. For when walking to the bus stop I want bet that you look good on the dancefloor, by the Arctic Monkeys. If I ever got into a school fight (which I highly doubt), swing by Taking Back Sunday would be 100% perfect, luckily enough I have a back up plan for the very occasion. There was once when standing in the commons at school where one kid yelled at this other kid. What the first boy said I didn't catch, although what second guy screamed back was "I'm gonna kill the muthf*cka!!!" What followed was slightly scary, but more hilarious later on, and i couldn't actually fully believe that it really happened. It felt so American high school.
Anywhoo, my Art class theme song most definitely would have to be from the stars, by White Lies. While bent over drawing my 'Goldilocks and the Three Bears' scene, and listening to this song I completely forgot where I really was. Instead of the Art room, it felt more like a drug rehab, or a homeless shelter, kind of like in White Oleander, when Astrid is staying in the orphan's home, and practically lives in their 'art room'. If there ever was a movie about me(which would be completely, and totally awesome), I would make sure that there would be a fire drill, just to exaggerate how much teenagers really are like ants. That's a completely different story though. The song playing while all the kids would walk through the halls with blank faces, and nothing particular on their minds, this song would be perfecto. I first found this song on itunes, it was the free download of the day, and was(is) completely and totally awesome,bang bang,by K'naan, ft Adam Levine(from Maroon 5). Last song now, because every movie has the sad lover side story, no matter what, I think that two days old by Cash Cash would be pretty awesome for the very purpose.
Tomorrow's picture day(I don't know why everytime I say photo day in my head, it sounds so odd), so I really should have gone to bed hours ago. I also still have math homework, which I dont understand the slightest, and have a test on tomorrow. Gotta love highschool!

with everything i've got.
So, today I did what anyone else in my predicament would do, stay in their pajamas until 3pm, watch last night's rerun of the VMA's, and sketch. As previously mentioned, I'm going to enter a fashion contest, wish me luck! I only have two ideas drawn out currently that i would like to attempt for the contest, both of which should hopefully be in this post.
These two are the same dress, just different designs. I already have a white dress like so, but it's too small for me, it fits and everything, but it makes my boobs look like pancakes. So, i was thinking if i added a strip of patterned material - such as zebra print- then maybe it would still look alright. The... blob i suppose, down the front of the dress is basically a scarf, sewed on three separate spots. I want it fading from super dark, to light, and back to dark again, though I'm not sure what colour. Suggestions would be nice.
Okay, well i'm heading out for dinner with my mum, and her mum too, and here's what i've got to show off. My Nana bought this shirt for me on our shopping spree, though she didn't like it much, it was my favourite. Don't mind the mess, or my feet.

I couldn't self describe, but you can't say I didn't try
I'd like to point out that Spandex Pony has been given an awesome opportunity! Some people somewhere, bought a cigarette vending machine - I know, weird right? Anyways, check out her page to learn about it, and all that jazz.
- Black empire waist from stitches, big bow at waist
- Indigo necklace Tia got me from London waaay back
- Black boots,
- At the moment i forget what shirt
- White almost 'hippy' like shirt, it makes me feel quite indie.
- Cream button up shirt, looks almost Victorian
- Purple and blue plaid skirt-literally looks like it was cut off a man's button up shirt.
- My 'army' belt, that makes me feel awesome, it has 3 small separate belt on it, one's dark gray to go with the rest of the belt, one is an old looking white. Something that was one white, 30 years ago, and is now aged. The last is a darker, more yellow shade of the previous.
- Gray leggings
- Brown boots
- Dark blue, 3/4 length shirt
- Gray vest
- Black boots
- Pink plaid headband
For the past couple months i have been trying to grow out my hair, but now i am really not liking it. I have two completely looking hair styles that i am thinking about, one extremely long that would take forever to get to. The other is very short, which i could go strait to, but then it would take me even longer to grow it out in the long run.
I had my first hockey practice of the season this afternoon, i do believe i may have died, and spontaneously came back. My back hurts so much, but I'm hoping i can get back into shape soon enough.
With school starting less than a week ago, i have to get back into the schedule of waking up so early, and remembering classes. My A block is pre-AP English 10, which i tried to switch into a different class for a specific teacher, no luck. B block is pre-AP Art 11, trust me, it's not as intimidating as it sounds, just kinda lame. Everyone else being in grade 11, and maybe a few from Grade 12, no one talks, or does anything. Hello next 6 odd months of my life.

head to toe, you know she's dressed to kill, and she could the way she's looking at me.
Friday, August 21, 2009
you said you'd keep my honest, but i wont call you on it.
On a small note, whoever has been following the at random, barely there posts, you will remember that I mentioned in my last post that I went to go see Harry Potter in theatres. I also mentioned that I had 'made' a dress. I have pictures from the event, and I have a picture of the dress before I found it, but it is on my broken computer. I was going to wait until that was fixed, but that is just taking much too long. When Emily arrived at my house in the afternoon, I was lounging in my backyard with Lacey, reading Harry Potter. Here are a few moments from the day.
Oh how I love Hermione.
Everyone knows about Warped Tour, right? Well, just in case for some ridiculous reason, like you live in China or something, It's an amazing concert/tour (obviously). They tour across the States, and hit up a couple of spots in Canada, luckily one of them was close enough to my location. There are too many bands to count, but if you care enough, hit up Google, and do some searching. While Stephanie, Hannah, Sinead and I were there, we also met Dallas Green (of City and Colour, and Alexisonfire), and Tegan (from Tegan and Sarah). In the following images, it may become noticeable that I am the only on with that shade of blond (or any for that matter), trust me, it was noticed by others there also. After only being through the front gates for about five minutes, we walked past a Vans tent, there was a man with a megaphone calling out funny comments to whoever he saw deserved them. As we walked by, he called out on his megaphone "Hey, why are you the only one without blond hair, huh?"
All of us girls after a long day of moshing.
On a final, ending note, I spent the better part of the last week volunteering with a group of teens around my age. Because of the fact that I don't have a camera that would be suitable for that type of work, I couldn't take any. Luckily for me, most people don't have giant Nikon cameras, and so they could take pictures. Hopefully whatever pictures have been taken will be up and loaded soon, and so I will have access of them soon also.
