As the wind hurls itself through the trees.

Yesterday and today have been very windy. Today was possibly the windiest day i have ever experienced. Oddly enough, it's sunny as can be. These past few days have been those kinds of days where your mind tells you the weather is lovely, but you realize this isn't true at all once you step outside. I felt a bit adventerous yesterday. I wore a plaid skirt from Forever 21 for the first time in months and months. Well, this skirt ended a few inches above my knee, and has a bit of a twirl to it. Might i advise you this is very bad if you're at school on a day when the wind is fierce. I'm sure you can imagine why not. But no worries, i spent my school day wishing i had worn jeans, all the while holding my skirt down the entire time.

On a seperate note, tomorrow is the last rally of the year. Also known as the walk out rally for the seniors. It's going to be a bit emotional, with a slideshow of their baby pictures, and just the thought of them leaving. I have become friends with a few of the seniors at my school, and i am afraid of drifting further apart from one in particular.

I am, however, looking forward to this weekend, where i will finally get the camera of my dreams. Or something along those lines, i'm hoping. Then i will be able to take lots and lots of pictures for all to see! Hooray!

I've been lusting after this dress from Urban Outfitters for the longest time.



This post feels unfinished without a goodbye, so:
Farewell for now!

My old/new purple hair

Remember how a few weeks ago, i mentioned that i was going to get purple in my hair? It completely slipped my mind to post a picture, so here you go:

How much of human life is lost in waiting.

I've been impatiently sitting around at home since 11a.m. That's when i was supposed to get purple in my hair, go to a thrift store for the first time, and buy a camera. But at 10:20a.m., my mom received a call from the girl who is supposed to do my hair. Apparently, the owner of the salon decided she should clean today, instead of Monday, as she usually does. My hair will probably have peek a boo streaks of purple by the end of today, but i'm not skilled at waiting. And this is why i've been wandering aimlessly around my house for the past four hours. I tried reading the play we're reading in Spanish, but that didn't last very long. So as not to have bored you, here's a pinch of randomness:

heh. My ultimate best friend and i drew this in our school library when we were supposed to be reasearching for our genocide powerpoint.

Let's go back in time

I want to show you readers a few pictures, and since i haven't taken any lately, here is what my spring break was made up of. Break for my school was one week late in March, so these are around a month and a half old.

My backyard. We've had this angel for a few years..not quite sure where she came from. I think my grandma and i found her at a yard sale, but who knows.





On the drive home from visiting my dad.


Poor abandoned recycling can..


And now it's time for me to shower and get ready to go to Sleeping Beauty ballet rehearsals!

The Painted Sunset was born..

Hello all. This is my first post in a blog i created just a minute ago. This is currently The Painted Sunset, but i might change it later on. I'm not quite sure what this blog will specialize in. I admire fashion, and those who have a passion for it, so it will be partly fashion. Art, photography, and dancing also occupy my heart, so it will have a taste of these as well. If my day went particularly well or horribly bad, you might hear of that, also. So here it is, my first post that i will look back on months in the future, and chuckle at. I'm hoping to develop my blog writing style soon enough.
