Check out that clean face! I am absolutely amazed that there is no branding on it. In the past, I have been attracted to watches with minimal branding like Movado, but now I have an even better option! No, it's not double strapped like I originally wanted, but this style is more classic.

Screw that boring fossil wallet. I want this one by hard graft.
but at 119 Euros I won't have anything to put in it after I buy it. Sometimes, good taste just hurts.




I might even be okay with this wallet by Sandqvist for 40 Euros. After looking through the European wallets, I'm not sure I need indidvdual pockets for each card. Does this make the wallet bulkier? Seems that way. I guess the question is if I would need the zipper pouch. If I'm stuck in America, I'd say no. But other countries have higher valued coinage. I guess I should hold out on buying a wallet until I hear back from NHH.

 I heard about the five item challenge on MUA. Basically it is a limit of five fashion purchases over a period of time not including foundation garments like undies and socks. This period of time depends on the challenge issuer. It can be per season as defined by a winter/summer split or a winter/spring/summer/fall split. For the more advanced individual it can be a period of a whole year.

The limit of five items is truly arbitrary. Some may find this number to be too small or too large. There is no real reason to stick to a set number rather than only purchasing what one needs. However, it can simplify process for beginner minimalists and makes it more difficult to justify going past your limit. So here I go!

I'm going to start off with the four season split as I'm still experimenting with my style and also can't afford the highest quality clothing.

My five items for winter are as follows:

okay. here is my spur of the moment well thought out list of resolutions! I was inspired by Jamie to be more ambitious with my list.

• Read less no fanfiction and focus on better written literature. I'm kicking this off by not reading hp fanfiction for a whole 7 days! Also, I received a subscription to The Economist for Christmas and picked up a copy of John Lindqvist's new novel, Harbor. So I'm well on my way to breaking a very time consuming addiction :D
• Write more letters!! No excuses! I have new pens and cute stamps to make them all frilly and special.
• Continue my journey to minimalism. I will destroy ALL the unnecessary things! And by destroy I mean sell and donate. I'm even going to pare down my costuming wardrobe since I can't see myself going to a convention any time soon :( Also, I will tackle my eyeshadow collection as I hardy wear any of it. This will be ridiculously hard. Don't judge me!
• ^ Additional to above, I will participate in the 5 items challenge (only 5 fashion related purchases per season) which I'll make another post about
• Start a food themed tumblr to make me more mindful of my eating habits
• Join a yoga class and figure out how to pay for it
• Workout 3X a week (kicked this off with a 21 mile bike ride today!)
• Look for a weekend job to save up $ for travel

Edit: I thought of more!

• Always dress at least semi-nice. Cut down on sloppy clothes
• wear my hair down more often
• bead more, but focus on projects that are either super artistic or pieces I would actually wear
• make a few more attempts at miniature food or give away all the polymer clay
• listen to a wider variety of music

I haven't posted in OVER A YEAR! I fail at life.

updates...updates...updates...updates...updates...

well I... MISS RI.

What the hell. I'm so hot and cold. Except only hot right now 'cause despite being November its in the bloody 80's outside. GAWD. I hate TX weather.

The final week of classes for the semester is upon me and jesus christ look at all these fucks I do not give. I just want it to be winter break so I can run off to San Fran and do FUN things FOR ONCE. I'm so burned out on school. NO MASSSSSSS! Just let me get my acceptance letter from NHH and GRADUATE! And then on to NORWAY! Where it's not fucking HAWT. But hopefully the men ARE. and YES i will RANDOMLY capitalize ALL THE WORDS!!!

so yes. my life will get exciting at one point in the future. just not now. poop.

Okay... Onto the process of streamlining all my usernames.... Caffeine Inhaler has just stuck longer. And is a tad less silly than Brandy BandShoe. Although, you shouldn't take me seriously. That would definitely be a mistake on your part.

What will I be posting here???

Mostly, nonsense. But possibly things I write... which consist mainly of crazy things... but meh.

ONWARD AND FORWARD!!!

Today's post shall contain my discomfort at being a Texan in Rhode Island. What were you expecting people??? Just 'cause I'm from hickville doesn't mean I'm going to have a Southern accent. But I kinda do... And people pick up on it all the time. I just hope it doesn't mean like I sound like an idiot. Although I did have a woman laugh at me in my face for addressing he as "Ma'am". Well FUCK YOU! I was just trying to polite. If you can't handle that, well then...

Every time I have to explain to someone that I have no idea what random pube in some small ass new England town is they're talking about 'cause I'm from Texas, they're like "Why would you-? I don't even-?" Like RI is the worst place to be in the world and why would I CHOOSE to be here instead of someplace else.

Yeah, well...

There is a good reason I chose to go to URI.

I just can't remember it right now...

Oh, yeah. To study Environmental Economics. Which is obviously grossly lacking in TxState curriculum. Fancy that.

RI is the duckpond of America. There is almost no subculture and it's all rather tame. YOU PEOPLE ARE BORING. There. I said it!!!

GAH. I'm almost glad to be going back to Texas. I never thought I'd be saying that.
