" the recognition that the world was becoming more complex, and that the old "final authorities" (God, government, science, and reason) were subject to intense critical scrutiny."

it's fascinating to me that people of the beginning of the 19th century knew what was to come

I am sad to say that the Jeffrey Campbell sandals I posted below are not worth the splurge! They're adorable but sadly, the quality is shit. The hardware detail fall apart more and more each time I wear them. Boo. Well here are my two most prized recent purchases

Jeffrey Campbell tie dye wedges, $30 from Nordstrom Rack

Fairly large cat purse from a hoarder/cat lady who has a garage sale every week in Kailua. I scored this for $2!

"Third World countries have many more people than do First World Countries. However, First World Countries often consume more resources than do Third World Countries. India has over a billion people while the U.S. has only 300 million people. Indians per capita, however, consume 1/16 the resources that Americas consume. Each American added to the world population has a greater impact on the ecology of the planet than each Asian that is added. The reason is that Americans consume many times more resources than Asians. In terms on conserving resources perhaps population growth is more detrimental to the environment in First World countries."

So I've been dying for these Jimmy Campbell gladiators since I tried t

hem on at 88tees in Waikiki but I just couldn't justify spending $90 on them. I've been looking for knockoffs or at least a website that sells them cheaper but it looks like I'm just going to have to make a trip down to Waikiki and buy them. Hopefully they still have my size and color I wanted.

They're $113 on revolveclothing.com

I found these Aldo knockoffs but they're $60. I could never justify spending that much money on such shitty quality. And they're definitely just not as cute. Jeffrey Campbell is the shoe god....

I can't tell these two apart for shit but I need the dress on the right, OMG. I'm assuming that's Ashley? When did she get a cute little booty? Love it, dress looks awesome on her. I'm particular towards short girls, since I am one myself.

I have been a total recluse for the past 4 weeks. I wish I were someone important, with places to be, people to see, things to do.

cute things that make me smile

I had a garage sale today and my girls came over to keep me company in the cold. the only one who bought anything was Kassie, haha. Big fail. Next weekend we're going to have another one at Corrie's, hopefully it'll be more successful.I can't believe I'm moving to Hawaii! I am so lucky

WE DID IT

December 28, 2009 my baby and I got married! Fuck everyone's two cents, we are beautiful!
I am STOKED that I am spending the rest of my life with this guy. Haha I got the cutest text from him yesterday after he ate at Panda Express - "COOKIE FORTUNE SAYS: 'Joy will come with a return of a good friend.' Baby! That's you! You're my best friend I love you"

i swear

Since I was little I've loved digging up old photo albums and looking through them. Here are some of my favorites. I have a beautiful family. Don't steal these, please :)

The older photos of my gram and gramps in their 20s are from this album, as well as all the army photos taken in Korea

My grandpa is on the left, handsome little devil, isn't he?

He looked like a movie star!

Baby Korean soldier

LOL

I wish I lived during this time period.

I wish I had the money and style to look sassy and fashionable wherever I go. Too bad I'm poor and lazy. I need a hobby! I realized that buying new clothes all the time is a complete waste of money because things go out of style too fast these days. I have all my basics...pencil skirts, good jeans, and racerbacks. Now can someone just buy me these Sonia Rykiel pieces?

random things i've right clicked+saved

Here's my wedding porn...we will have our big wedding when we can afford exactly what I have in mind, haha

disgustingly cute

2009-09-09T13:39:00.000-07:00

Colt randomly flew me up to San Diego again to see him. I already miss him so fucking much. I can wait until things are normal again, whenever that will be...

I'm going to make a wedding picture porn post soon. He proposed on the 23rd (i'm guessing)!

something memorable

2009-08-13T02:18:00.000-07:00

The day Colton left for bootcamp I laid in my bed and cried. I went through his things and looked for shirts that still smelled like him. When I rested my head on his pillow I felt something in the pillowcase, pulled it out, and realized it was a goodbye note from him. I think I ended up throwing that note away out of anger on one of my real bad days.

Anyway, so I'm sobbing and listening to Jack Johnson (I never listen to that guy) and I accidentally and unknowingly called Corrie. She said it was one of the saddest things she has ever heard. I didn't see him for five months after that day and I only got to hear his voice three times during this period. It was really fucking rough. God, I'm so glad that's over.

things i want

2009-08-06T14:02:00.000-07:00

after second trip to california i'm treating myself to at least one of these things

bad bitch

2009-08-05T13:41:00.000-07:00

I guess I made this blog because my best friend got a boyfriend and she doesn't really have/make time for me anymore, so now I have no one to talk to. This shit reminds me of junior high and updating my livejournal every day after school, hahahahah. I'm just going to post pictures of clothes I want, pictures of my baby Colton, sweet things he tells me, etc. I have no life, I'll admit it. It's just work and school, I don't trust anyone so I guess that's why I roll "one deep". I cried to Colton about how I have no friends and he told me "It's because you're a bad bitch baby, your the coolest chick I know, actually the coolest person I know, you're just intimidating to approach". If only people knew that I hung out with my dogs all day. And if I'm feeling lonely I'll pick up my niece and nephew and take them to the beach or to watch a kids movie or just spoil the fuck out of them.

I'm just a lonely ass girl and I know it's because I push everyone away. And if I make exception, in the case with my best friend, they end up pushing me away. So fuck it
