stop. why are you wearing that still?

there's always those people walking the streets, and you look at them and think "tha fuck were they thinking when they bought that...?" yeah. here's a list of items that no one, EVER, should wear, or buy. 
-jump suits.
cute, right? no. 
- high heeled jordan's. i just. i don't really understand. the point is, it's not there. 
- bolo ties. just put a noose around your neck and call it a fashion statement. 
- ugg boots with shorts. in the middle of the summer. 
uggs are winter boots. what are you trying to convey? 
-button down shirts tied up past your navel. no. stop. 
-extremely flared jeans. 
-jeans with "paint" stains/writing all over them. we're no longer in fourth grade. stop that.
-high water pants/capris. 
-chunky flip flops
-capes/velvet, floor length dresses. unless you're at a masquerade ball. or you're a vampire, stop. 
-socks with sandals. ew. 

those things just really piss me off. and for some odd reason, people like to wear things like that A LOT around where i am. just stop. do you realize that you're hurting people's feelings and eyesight because of your "style"? stop. k.

the unanswerable?

what if the hokey pokey really is what it's all about? since toast always lands butter-side down and cats always land on their feet, if you strapped the un-butter-side of toast to the back of a cat, will they just spin about two inches above the ground forever? why doesn't glue stick to the inside of the bottle? why are circular pizza boxes squares? why is chicken the only animal we eat before it's alive and after it's dead? why does sunlight make our skin darker but our hair lighter? have you ever actually seen a chicken cross a road? if someone with multiple personalities threatens to kill them self, is it considered a hostage situation? is there another word for synonym? what was the best thing BEFORE sliced bread? if you try to fail, and succeed, which have you done? is the alphabet only in that order because of the song? if jimmy cracks corn and no one cares, why is there a song about him? why do they call it an 'asteroid' when it's outside the hemisphere, but call it a 'hemorrhoid' when it's inside your ass? why is the third hand on a watch called the second hand? if webster wrote the first dictionary, where did he find all the words? why is 'abbreviated' such a long word?

important questions.

look at this fucking hipster.

"The name itself was coined after the jazz age when hip arose to describe aficionados of the growing scene. Although the word's exact origins are disputed, some say it was a derivative of  'hop,' a slang term for opium, while others believe it comes from the West African word 'hipi,' meaning 'to open one's eyes'. Nevertheless, it gradually became a noun, and 'hipster' entered the language."

we've all seen them, and despite the fact that we might not want to admit it, a great deal of us ARE in fact hipsters. classified by pabst blue ribbon, ironic tattoos ,newports/kools/parliaments/marlboro reds, choppy hair, moustaches, different clothing choices, under-ground music, and bicycles, hipsters are slowly taking over the world. everyone tells me that i'm a hipster, i refuse to believe them, but i know that deep down i really am. a lot of people claim to "hate" the hipster sub-culture saying that it all started because some weird kids wanted to be different. in actuality, the hipster movement started in the 1940's and has been progressing ever since.
MUSIC:
most hipsters associate themselves with bands like: arcade fire, bright eyes, arctic monkeys, foxy shazam, black lips, baby shambles, wombats, joy division, never shout never, beck,chester french, editors, feist, franz ferdinand, hockey, the pink spiders, klaxons, the kooks, the libertines, modest mouse, the moldy peaches, matt&kim, mystery jets, passion pit, rabbit, the shins, the strokes, the traps. and other such bands and artists that most people haven't heard of. they take great pride in knowing a band before they become popular.
CLOTHES:
anything urban outfitters, vintage, american apparel, home-made, forever 21, or good will. anything off beat and not usually worn by "average" people.

i honestly have no idea why i decided to write about hipsters, i guess it's because most people have been calling me one lately. so i thought i should get the facts straight. turns out i am one, therefor i'll be writing my name with a superfluous triangle today to prove my "hipster-dom".

People and their damned feelings.

You know when you're talking to someone, just an everyday conversation, and you know something is wrong with them but they constantly say "it's nothing"? Yeah. That's got to stop. People need to start saying how they feel. "never apologize for what you say or how you feel, that's like saying sorry for being real". Yeah? If you feel a certain way for someone or about something, then VOICE that opinion or feeling. Don't keep quiet about anything. I think the world is scared of change, and THAT needs to change. When we keep quiet about things, feelings will build up inside us, and those things could be the very thing that ruins you in the end.

SO. MUCH. SNOW.

the snow, quite frankly, needs to go away. right now. it's gross, cold, wet, and it's keeping me stuck in my house. BUT. i took some purty pictures of and in it. :3



yeah, i'm cute. but besides the picture taking, snow sucks. my sister and i got our golf cart stuck in it. it's still currently sitting by the river where we abandoned it to walk home. by the way, ice hitting your face with lots of wind hurts. a lot. OH. i wore my eternity scarf today. i made it muhself.
it's blue tie-dye. i likes it a lot and i made it outta my sister's dress :3

pay it forward. gettin' some serious heaven points.

in 2000 a movie came out starring haley joel osment (yeah, that's a guy..), helen hunt, and kevin spacey. i just watched it a few days ago, and honestly i cried. a lot. but the title is 'pay it forward' and the idea behind it is really moving. hold up. picture time.
that would be haley.. creepy.
anyways, that's the basic idea. one person starts, they do a HUGE favor for the betterment of three different people's lives. and instead of those three people paying that one person back. they pay it forward. they then go out and do a huge favor for three different people. and so on and so forth. get it? OH. and there's some rules.
  1. it has to be something that really helps people
  2. something they can't do by themselves
  3. you do it for them, they do it for three other people.
the favors can be anything. in the movie haley's character got two people to fall in love and be happy, brought his family together after 12 years, and saved his friends life by sacrificing his own. i don't really suggest the last one, unless you want to die a martyr, but something vaguely similar would be nice. help an old lady cross a street, help someone with an addiction, care about someone who looks as if they've lost it all, work in a soup kitchen, help out at a pound, fall in love, DO SOMETHING. the world would be such a better place if everyone would pay it forward.

slutty lumberjacks, dragon bracelets, and daily occurrences.

today, i wore clothes. ( if you don't want to read about this, then scroll passed the next two pictures). they consisted of a high-waisted, navy blue, mini-skirt, a white v-neck that cuts off right above where the skirt ended, a lovely red flannel-esque shirt, combat boots, and a dragon bracelet.
i wear combat boots, but all i want is peace.
BUT. my dragon bracelet is the shit. when i feel like standing up, i'll upload a close up of the head of it. i really like it :3 OH. but it cuts the hell out of your arms :c
PICTURE.



LIFE LESSONS FOR TODAY:
find out who your true friends are, they'll be the only ones to always be there for you. no matter what. don't cry in really quiet rooms. people stare a little bit a lot. never call aj zimmerman gay, i'll kick you in the mouf. it's best to fake a phone conversation to avoid awkward eye contact. don't trust anyone who doesn't have their story straight from the beginning. vocabulary is for champions. just because you have sex with someone doesn't mean you love them or that they love you. k? k. the hallways at school are too crowded for you to be stopping and making out. stop that. it's vial. ALWAYS wear shorts under short skirts in the winter. the winds are perverts. don't throw teddy bears at cops, they WILL record it as a chair hitting them in the head and you will be arrested. don't get your hopes up easily. give everything time. and most importantly, tell people that they mean something to you, if they do. you never know when you'll get that chance again.

i hate everyone.

i was going to write about something interesting. but i'm not currently thinking straight. so here's something you can relate to, i guess. a list of things i hate at the moment.
  • bad hair and poor wardrobe choices on a daily basis
  • liars, cheats, theives, players.
  • fat bitches who think they're thin, and therefore wear EXTREMELY tight clothing.
  • stupid piercings and tattoos. especially piercings on the chin, elbow, or eyelid. and tattoos on the bottom of your feet.
  • the saying 'smh'. who's actually shaking their heads when they say that?
  • the movie "teeth". creepiest. shit. ever.
  • high heel sneakers. lolwut?
  • adults who you've never seen before, that somehow knew you when you were a fetus.
  • lowlifes, creeps, stalkers, rapists.
  • the color puce. it doesn't even sound nice.
  • and west virginia.
k? k.

starting over.

HAY. so i realized after a month of not blogging, that i was bored. so in to cease this boredom, i've decided to start all over. i got rid of all my past posts, seeing as they were slightly lame, and very aged on how i feel about things. k? k. so, i'm caitlin. i'm young and opinionated, i love a lot of people, but i hate everyone. i'm very contradictory. don't like what i have to say? don't read it. i type like a four year old very occasionally. i think i'm going to be mainly writing about fashion and world trending topics. so i guess, if you like those things stick around? yeah? here's muh face from the past.
here's muh face nao.
