listening to- What I Wouldn't Do by A Fine Frenzy

heya peoples! how ya been? i'm not actually "back", i'm just popping in to say hai and tell you that i miss blogging and keeping up with your blogs!
i know, its only been 2 weeks, a beautiful-busy two weeks at that.
gah. so much has been going on, here are a few, erm, several updates!

1) i've gone almost completely off sugar.
2) i've started consistently drinking water whenever i get the munchies in-between meals. its really quite healthy and makes one feel a whole lot better about themselves.
3) last week i had my first band session! i *just* got done with all the editing today.
4) i'm trying my hardest to finish high school by may 2nd. i really think its gonna happen.
5) wednesday it was 80degrees out. today its 30. ah-la missouri weather. :p
6) i've completely forgotten how to blog. and i'm pretty much completely off pinterest now.
7) i finally ordered a new lens! i'm getting a 55-200mm, so. stinking. excited.
8) i'm going to start blogging "full time" again here in a week or 2. :)

not goodbye

 i've been thinking about this all week, and i've finally decided its time.

its time for a break.
i'm not sure how long it'll last, but it'll be longer than last time, thats for sure.

its not that my life has taken a sudden turn and i don't have time for blogging anymore. no, not exactly that. i am trying to finish high school a few weeks earlier, but my schedule isn't really hectic.
my life will continue to be a good mixture of peacefulness and productiveness that it normally is and i may post every now and then to update y'all on it.

so here's my not goodbye.

treskie over at occasional randomness {which is, btw, one of my favvveee blogs!} awarded me.
so. erm.
here i go!

le rules
2.) thank the person who awarded you.
2.) Answer the three questions. 

3.) Nominate four bloggers.
4.) Notify the bloggers you nominate. 

so, treskie!

and now the questions..

firstly:

What famous person would you like to meet?

i find this question amusing. because i dislike meeting ordinary people {only slightly kidding}, so of course, meeting someone famous is sorta out of the question.
i mean, can you imagine how freaking awkward that'd be for me?
i can just feel the pain thinking about it.
but, that said. if the opportunity were to because reality. then i'd pick Benedict Cumberbatch.

basically i'd hug him, get a picture, and then run away as fast as i could.
*sighs*

Seconds:

What's your favorite flower?

daffodils! these are the closest i could find to my favorite species of daffodils though..

thirdlys:

What is your least favorite food?

definitely peas and green beans. 

peas are like fungus pills and green beans are just plain evil. and they're both so disturbingly nasty that i'm not posting a picture of them. ha.


and now for the step i normally skip! the bloggers i nominate are...

sophie

meg

caitria
victoria

well that was fun! did you have fun? i did. :)

listening to: Watching You Watch Him, by Eric Hutchinson

i haven't done a 'what i wore' post in ages, huh? 

i blame the cold, the UN-photogenicness of my face and awkwardness of doing your own shoots.

but today i was brave,  its not very cold out, so that made it easier as well.

i've actually never wore this outfit out, but its pretty close to my usual kick back style. that shirt is actually my pajama shirt..
yes, you read that right.
i've only worn it "out" maybe twice. its one of my favorite 'i don't care what i look like' shirts and its sooo comfy.
and yes, my hat is a banjo hat. i'm fond of that hat, and i'm not sure at all why i'm wearing it in these pictures..i just, threw it on on the way out.
this whole outfit wasn't planned.

hah. obviously.
 

and thats all i've got for you today, folks!

listening to- Knighs Of Shame, by AWOLNATION

i have no original pictures today.

i'm not even sure what words i have. i'll just keep writing and see where this goes...

today was the sort of day were i barely drug myself out of bed, and an hour late at that.

i haven't had a drop of caffeine all day too, for some reason coffee slipped my mind this morning.

i feel asleep on the couch for 2 hours while trying to read. and it wasn't even noon yet.

totally unmotivated, artistic juices running on their lowest.

sometimes being artistic is draining, stressful. there's this natural urge to create. 

then there's this lack of passion and inspiration.

its almost like being physically sick. actually, its worse.

lately my passion and inspiration has been at a low, its honest to goodness, no fun.

-expectation is the root of all heartache-

~william shakespeare

the past few weeks have been full of expectation and longing.

they've been full of heaviness as well. waiting for answers, hoping and trusting. questioning my motives, why i ask for what i ask for.

hoping i can trust right. 

i've been learning so much lately, i don't even know how to soak it all in. much less explain it.

i've had to let things go recently, that i didn't want to let go. 

i've spent hours wondering whats going to happen, where i'm going, what i'm doing.

there are moments when i get so overwhelmed with happiness. moments where i build up the most wonderful castles in the sky. and even though those moments pass, and i give those castles over.

they're still there. and they make me smile, and they make me sigh. because i can't know for sure.

with love,

-noni

p.s.
this was my 401st post.
wow...

boredboredbored! only because i havta leave in a half hour for speech, and thats not enough time to really do anything..
so. bored.


i haven't been taking pictures lately.
i know, its sad.
:(
but, here are a few from the past 2 or 3 weeks that i did get!

my calendars from the past 3 years. i still need one for this year, i'm thinking a ship or DW one..

i did this for a speech i'm giving..tonight actually. its a persuasive speech. i hope to convert someone to the whovian society.

annd, i made this one night..

these are my favoritest necklaces i own. :)

my beauties!

and you know what else i haven't done lately?  i've taken *no* self portraits this year.
so here's me from sometime last week when i realized how long it had been.

and here's my first ever try at black out poetry!

life has been very lifey lately, last week was good, someone brought me a rock {err, artifact!} from Israel, we bought The Hobbit, still need to watch it. i worked out every single night, monday math class was canceled, and. well, other nice things happened, but i won't bore you with the details.

my weekend was just normal weekend stuff.
yesterday, particularly the evening times, was fantastic though.
wanna know what happened?
well, its not really *that* cool, unless you like 2 particular British boys.
my mum was watching netflix while i was in the kitchen working on a mini sculpture, and randomly, Benedict Cumberbatch showed up in one of her Miss Marple shows! so mum calls me in, and of course, that  meant squealing and gushing from me throughout the rest of the show.
it was good.
then, next up was some random british detective show, and guess what? none other than Tom Hiddleston made several appearances in it! gah.
you can imagine what state i was in.

so yep, that was the hype of my weekend.

i apologize for the randomness of this post. i wasn't planning to blog today, and. well, this always happens when i don't plan out a post.
but i hope you enjoyed it anyway!
