In no particular order:
1. Kate’s homemade bonbons
My super swell friend Kate (the tree climber, if you happen to look at my photography) made the most delicious chocolate wonders for The Chocolate Ball, a dance we had to support Lit. Club. They had sprinkles. And they were chocolate. Win? YES. Here’s some Chocolate Ball fun:

2. A Beautiful Mess
As in the art inspiration blog of Elsie Flannigan. Check it out! She’s one of the raddest chicks ever, and if I could have anyone’s life, it’d be hers. As in I’d want to be like her. Not that I would want to take her life as in kill her. That would be terrible D: Anyway, she comes up with all these nifty little crafts alllll the time, finds the cutest things everywhere, the best music, the best art, and is just oozing creativity in every post. Here’s Elsie, from a picture she has on her Flickr:
3. Cliff’s van, Dr. Katrina the Hostess
Who likes cruising? Dacoda with Clifford and Katrina!
4. Cleaning my room
I don’t have any pictures for this, but I do love how clean and homey it’s becoming :3
5. Billy Boy On Poison, Saybella, and The Virgins
I’m sure you’ve heard of The Virgins. So nevermind them (but still <3), Billy Boy On Poison was recently one of the Singles of the Week on iTunes with their song "On My Way" and apparently on Gossip Girl once, but I don't watch that show so I wouldn't know. And Saybella is a recording artist out of Portland, Oregon. Check them both out: Billy Boy On Poison; Saybella
6. Thursdays
Both classes I have end in ‘-ology,’ so of course it’s a good day. Mythology and Psychology? Fuck yeah. I get to sleep in and I go home at lunch and not have to come back. I never work on Thursdays either. Thursdays are my little slice of heaven (:
7. The squid dress I’m designing
Yeah, this sketch is nowhere near completion. Just you wait. And when I become a sewing master, it shall be made (:
8. My new boots
I chose new boots over gas. I totally think it was worth it. I may have to live like I’m poor while my bank account recovers, but at least I’ll be living poor in my new boots.
9. My plan for the last day of my senior year
It’s pretty simple. Creep out a shit ton of people, cos I’ll never see them again!
10. Realizing the widespread possibilities for my future
I could be a forensic psychologist, a coffee shop owner, a coroner, a taxidermist, a photographer, a writer, an interior designer, a small shop owner, or like a doctor. I doubt it. But maybe. But no.
Or I could be a hobo and live in a box. But I bet I’ll be a happy hobo.
Keep it real!
Dacoda.
I have this super awesome friend, Clifford. Srsly. One of the dankest people I know. He tokes like a madman and can pass a joint while having an intense conversation about Quantum Theory like no other. All of my close friends hate everyone they know, and Cliff is no exception. And he has the most severe rages. Ever.
Take a sample, why don’t you:
mmlxxxiv says:
Oh, god, can I rage for a second? I mean, I have been pouring out these things you have no concern for, but you seem to be at least pretending to tolerate it
Pesky meddling dacoda. says:
Go for it! I love when people rage
mmlxxxiv says:
FUCK
I hate this school
I’m ranked 3rd in my class
3RD!
The FUCK is that?!
Here’s my rant:
Pesky meddling dacoda. says:
I just said third out loud in a high voice out of shock!
go on
mmlxxxiv says:
Haha
The public school system bases academic intelligence on a grade system that’s generated by work
That’s an obvious point
You do work, you turn it in, it’s converted into grades and thus class rank
Unweighted grades, there’s about four in my class with 4.0 GPAs
Weighted, the fucking CUNTS that do extra-credit in the AP classes
allow two of them (not surprisingly enough the son of a teacher and the daughter of another teacher)
to be ahead of me
now
Put this into relative intelligence
I scored 2030 on my first round of SATs
Comparitively
The No. 1 guy
big, fat, farmer FUCK
scored like 1310
Pesky meddling dacoda. says:
whoaaa
mmlxxxiv says:
Class rank is supposed to reflect intelligence
yet
it doesn’t
The public school system doesn’t reward intelligence
It rewards diligence
diligence easily instilled by tyrannical teacher/parents
(they learn with Jesus)
That bit was a tad convoluted
my point is
Two people can get a 4.0 in a class
one person has to work hard to get that 4.0
the other person, with more innate intelligence allowing him/her to achieve the same amount with less effort, gets that 4.0 also
While everyone and their grandmother is going to pour OH HE/SHE WORKED HARD AND DESERVES TO BE HIGHER
No, he/she worked hard inside of a flawed system that rewards you for filling out paperwork
I tried to make that a point, it just kept going
Here’s it in one phrase:
Innate intelligence should be considered superior to achieved intelligence
Wow, Cliff’s an asshole
Yeah
But it’s sort of logical
Would you want the guy that knew exactly what he was doing to design your building?
Or the guy that had to work hard to pass basic structural engineering 101?
Nig has some major points. For sure.
(:
Dacoda.
