Funny story... I'm a slacker. Also, Leggings are a funny thing.

My last post was in April of last year. Apparently I'm better at the idea of blogging rather than the act of blogging. Good grief.

Well here's to the second time around. :)

My current situation: I am sitting on my front porch with my Macbook because today was such a nice day I thought this would be a good idea. Well guess what? It's February and its getting dark and its kind of cold. Also the guy who works at the gas station across the street from my house keeps coming out to smoke and is staring at me. It's a little awk.

Can I catch up on what's happened in my life since last April?

Here we go, in a nutshell:

-I got a pomeranian pup
-Bryan went to prison (he will be back in July)
-I got a new job (at a physical therapy office, say whaaat?!)
-I went back to school for the first time since dropping out of USC (and finished my first semester with the highest GPA attainable, not that I'm bragging...)
-I saw a lot of really rad shows like: Needtobreathe, Dave Matthews Band, Weenie Roast (Weezer, Fitz and the Tantrums, Fuel, lots of other bands...), Coheed and Cambria with We Are Scientists, A Day to Remember with Bring Me the Horizon, Motionless in White, and Chiodos, Brand New with Foxing, Anberlin, Saves the Day and Say Anything with Reggie and the Full Effect, and last but not least Motion City Soundtrack and Copeland with Better Off.
-I also made it to a Panther's game this season as well as a Checker's game. Carolina lost both.


In other news and completely unrelated subjects...

I think a rule book should come with every pair of leggings that are available for purchase.
I'll be honest, I used to be one of those people who were like "LEGGINGS AREN'T PANTS... PUT ON SOME PANTS."
I felt very strongly about it.
But then, after buying a new pair of leggings that I had every intention of wearing under a short dress, I changed my mind. I can admit when I am wrong.
Apparently you can buy a correct pair of leggings to wear alone. They end up looking similar to skinny yoga pants. They make your ass look great, even if you barely have one, as in my very sad case.

So I stand corrected and I am no longer opposed to leggings rocked solo.... UNLESS:

1) You are like the girl I saw at QT last week who had on tye dyed leggings (failure #1) that were basically stretched so tight you could see straight through the fabric (failure #2) exposing her white thong for all the world, errr, all of QT to see. (failure #3- who the hell buys white thongs??)

2) You are a woman I saw earlier today. She was rather large and while her leggings were not transparent, I saw way too much cellulite and way too many crevices. I shudder.

3) Leggings that are the same color as your flesh. You look half naked and ridiculous and there is no logic to skin colored leggings.

That being said, apparently there are people out there who just don't understand, hence the rule book.



Oh and hey, the Grammys were tonight.

ICYMI- my favorite performance of the night was Ed Sheeran and John Mayer Performing Ed Sheeran's "Thinking Out Loud", once CBS puts a video online I'll add it here.



That's all folks.

  1. First off: Let's how that user thingy is right. I can't remember my actual Wordpress USER name, so let's see how that goes. Whatever.

    And YES. To the whole rule book. See, I have to agree with what you said, but here's the thing: You wore them with a short dress. Totally makes sense to wear it because you didn't want to bare everything to the world. And I am on the slightly heavier side, so I say this: You heaver, you cover more. There is class in covering up so you don't see all the bumps. It is not flattering to see all the rolls, so make sure you cover them. I am a big girl and I can make Leggings look good, but I also wear a slightly longer skirt or something that at least covers the "ew" part.

    Like a skirt that has HIGH Slits (I mean, seriously... whoa) but it covers the ew parts and the leggings made sure I didn't flash people. The end.

    This comment was way too long and so I will not comment upon the rest.
    But hey! Welcome to blogging once more! May you do better than me. ;D
