PAPER LOLLIES

I wrote this awhile ago. I'm finally healed.

The Truth Between My Teeth, The Lies Under Your Tongue

Between the smoke clouds that left my lungs I could see you taking sideways glances, ignoring my questions, fabricating something to say to make me silent. You never liked my honesty. You always preferred a version of me that didn’t exist. The little girl whose eyes filled with all the things you wanted her to see, who believed in you and what you could do to her. I’m looking at you now with a feeling and a soul and you’re at a loss with how to handle me. A girl seeking what’s raw and real but all you’re prepared to offer is something preserved, false, and unhealthy. A diet that could kill.

You proceeded to speak fragmented monologues about not wanting to become attached, about not being ready to love, and about being scared. Your eyes seem swollen with these ideas, it’s too much for you to bear, but not enough to choke you up. These words are kissed with an air of vagueness that shows you don’t think I can comprehend. You intend to candy-coat the truth so that the sweet, sweet girl you think I am can lick it up. Am I really that small?

The world sees me so little, and young but I’ve traveled far into the drowning depths of pure passion. I know the bondage that holds you when you’re in love. I know the loss of identity that at first feels like growth, before you’re standing in the mirror with stunted ability and a lack of resources to escape. But never for a minute did the alternative seem more appealing. Freedom is loneliness. Having a mind and a voice comes with a price. The cost is forever isolating yourself from who and what could really matter to you. Matter enough to become you, transform you, eat you up and spit you out.

Maybe that’s it. I’m standing here soaking wet after you took me into your mouth in slow, deliberate bites. You chewed me up into something beautiful, worthwhile. Creating the version of me you wanted so badly to taste. A stomach full of nourishment, which soon started to sour. My honesty heaved out of you, coughing me back up into the world and I am nothing but alone. Vulnerable and naked, still bearing pieces from inside you. You weren’t ready to receive what you had asked for.

from the archives of a poet.

Bad Omen

He was at the airline check-in
shackled at his feet,
and at his hands,
the chains attached to a utility belt.
He was being transferred
perhaps to another prison.
A runaway who finally got caught?
Sexual assault?
Tax fraud?
He could be innocent but
he could be one of the criminals
who really got what he deserved,
or even got off easy.
He looked at me with wide eyes
That knew regret, sorrow, and shame.
As he scanned me up and down
I felt compelled to smile
And there in that instant
The prisoner imprisoned me
And I spent my flight
Trapped in the shackles of my own mind
Unable to decipher the differences
Between him and I
Both innocent and guilty.

my new hair color! the pink didn't photograph too well, as it tended to want to blend in with the maroon... oh well. it looks dark red indoors and fuchsia in the sunlight.

and here are my new indian chief vintage pumps! (from LA Vintage)

i love the kitten heels, and how they go "click click" as i walk on the pavement to classes. classic.

once again,
happy thanksgiving!

a little bit of vanity never hurt anyone

i haven't done a what i'm wearing type of post since my days blogging with P!NK... but with that said, i just felt like a little bit of outfit documentation.

okay so mamda, my long-time bloggy crush, gave me a little blog award! i love getting these even though i'm awful at keeping up with them. but here are seven more tidbits about me :)

one. i should have learned a lesson the first time with the boy. that falling hard leads to falling apart... and yet, i can't say that i'll be able to keep my hands off him the next time he comes around.
two. today me and hannah, whom i have a lovely little radio program with, dyed our hairz and i gave us haircuts. mine is now maroon with pink and baby blonde highlights (it's subtle although it doesn't sound like it). hers is a dark, romantic shade of brown. tre lovely.
three. i'm planning on taking winter term off and spending a nice holiday at home in texas. it would be so nice to spend all that time with family and old friends, and a great break from the hustle and bustle of university
four. i have a bit of a shoe habit. or perhaps i should rephrase that to an online shopping habit. my newest score: vintage indian cheif pumps. promise to post a photo!
five. i love writing in my diary outside, in the sunlight, listening to my ipod. i'll write in it anywhere, but that's really my favorite way.
six. i'm super excited to do my second horoscope for the paper! i'm doing a winter solstice feature for our last issue before holidays.
seven. recently with my girlfriends i had one of the most wonderful evenings. curled up on the sofa, watching Saved! (with Mandy Moore) eating pint sized ice creams and swooning over Patrick Fugit. i wouldn't have had the evening any other way...

xoxo
photos of my hair & shoes to come!
and hopefully some type of photo collection of my trip to NYC this weekend.
happy thanksgiving

2009-11-10T18:07:00.001-06:00

i suppose my last post (the private entry) was a bit vague as far as information goes...
it was super personal and special, but i am not afraid to share that with the world.
when i admit my truth, my personal story and history, i own that part of me. it is mine. it's my little piece of the big picture and i can overcome it with ease.

what happened was the attack of my naivety... i ended up lonely and broken-hearted. it was a tragedy, despite starting out so well... i feel like he had good intentions, but sometimes good people do bad things.

it wasn't meant to be. which i say to convince myself that it's for the best.
i'm still having a hard time putting it out of my mind.

i still want to believe he is a good person with a huge heart, but he did something so heartless.
thats why i've been focusing on the positive first half of the evening, and the title was made in sarcasm, irony, hopelessness.

cheering up buttercups.

"i just get so bashful"

2009-10-30T01:28:00.004-05:00

i was tagged by a lovely reader (and hopefully future bloggy acquaintance) for a kreativ blogger award! i don't know exactly the criteria, but i know i'm supposed to share seven random tidbits about myself... (i'm a sucker, can't resist!)

one. two days ago i had one of the most brilliant nights. i rode bicycles with a friend to a nearby park. we floated high into the air on the swing set. a friend and a crush showed up and the four of us sat on the swinging bench, rocking back and forth. it was a high, looking up and seeing all the bright minnesota stars shining down on the fall trees. we lit a bonfire with some local kids and danced around mischievously. perhaps the absolute most thrilling was riding home on the handlebars of my bicycle, as he pedaled behind me. i could lean back into him, trying to balance, and feel our silhouettes melt together. it was scary. it was exhilarating. i felt like a child.

two. i actually REALLY like cold weather. i'm happy to be in minnesota instead of texas and be able to wear all the layers that i'm able to get away with. i feel fall and winter clothes are much cuter and since i'm quite modest, i find the summer clothes to be a tad revealing anyways. i like to stand outside and collect snowflakes in my hair. i like to breathe warm air onto windows and leave secret love messages. i like hot cocoa, and scarfs, mittens and thick thick socks. it feels like christmas every day.

three. i've been asked recently why i am single. this question infuriates me. i don't know why i'm single? perhaps because i don't click on the same level with the people i fall for? perhaps i'm not likeable? perhaps i'm aloof? but i think if i knew the answer, i wouldn't still be single.

four. i gossip. a lot. it's probably my worst quality. i don't get embarrassed too easily. the only two things that cause my ears to flush and my cheeks to pink is public PDA and hurting someone's feelings. most recently this was a problem with a new friend. i met him and just assumed by his behavior that he was gay. i told all my friends that he was gay and treated him so. turns out - he isn't gay. and i feel just god awful. he doesn't know that i said that about him, and i really hope it wouldn't hurt him. it was an honest mistake.

five. my best friend stella is the same size as me. it's perfect because we have similar style and taste and we can combine our closets to have tons of outfit choices! sometimes i will see her wearing one of my blouses the same day i'm wearing one of her dresses. it's ironic and brings a huge smile to my face.

six. i just re-arranged my entire room. things were getting a bit too cozy in my dorm room so i needed to mix it up a little. it's SO different. i promise to post photos on facebook when i get a chance to take some decent ones. speaking of, if we aren't friends on facebook, send me a request!

seven. this week i was published in the paper. it wasn't a horoscope, but an article! and it ran the whole back page. i'm pleased with how it turned out. i feel proud and ready to hold my own in the newspaper world. (although - truth be told, i prefer to be the horoscope writer, as it really is my area of interest. they are still keeping me in that position, but it will not run weekly)

xoxo

for a girl i wish i didn't know

2009-10-28T16:57:00.002-05:00

I saw you
When you started dressing different
Wanting everyone to notice
And no one to care
When you slowly replaced lip gloss
For baggy jeans and over-sized tees
I heard you
When you delivered the monologues
You’d been practicing, for weeks in your room
About the life you pretend you lived
It rolled just a bit too easily off your tongue
And I think you noticed that I was the only one
Not buying into it
I pitied you
When you tried to convince everyone that
We were one in the same
That I am some kind of gender bender queer
With the outside of a femme
As you slowly betrayed every since of my identity
For a lie.

I was never meant to be like you.
You were never meant to be like you.
I am real. I am femme. I like boys. I like girls.
And my entirety doesn’t have to be established or retold.
I am self-evident.

But you will continue to reinvent.
Constantly clinging to self you always want to be
But can’t ever actually attain.
And for that I am sorry.
You’re just a girl with no real soul.

More more astro.

I promise to update something more substantial soon... but at your request, here is this week's horoscope! (I did get published this week, and my role with the paper has expanded to include interviews and stories!)

ZODIAC OUTLOOK:
The hyper-Libra influence this week will cause you to have a strong desire for balance and compromise within your relationships and yourself. Diplomatic relations in both the public and private sphere will be prevalent this week as we try to harmonize viewpoints and overcome differences. Remember that it is just as important to listen as it is to be heard. With Venus in Libra until November 7th (the sign it naturally resides in best), you'll probably find ease in your romantic life as intimacy grows with appreciation of one another and mutual respect. The New Moon this past weekend makes this a great week to start a new project or make a resolution, and the influence of the Moon in both Sagittarius and Capricorn later this week will motivate you to stick with it and finish what you start. We feel drawn to be social butterflies this week with such a strong Libra influence and the Mars transition from Cancer to Leo, but the Sun moving into Scorpio this weekend will help us keep private matters private, and shy us away from a procrastinating nature.

Zodiac Outlook

2009-10-15T00:08:00.003-05:00

Here was the horoscope I produced for this week.
**To clarify: This is a generalized horoscope outlook for this week. It does not go into specific zodiac signs, but instead is meant to be an overall week overview.

Happy Birthday Libra! The Sun in Libra this month will cause us to look inside ourselves for answers, using our relationships with others as a reflection of our character. Libra is all about balance of self and equality in relationships. (In fact, Libra falls on the Fall Equinox, which has equal amounts of daylight and nighttime.) You may be looking at your close relationships with a fine eye for details, thanks to Venus in Virgo until the 14th, perhaps edging on a stream of hyper-criticism. But Libra challenges you to internalize these conflicts and avoid confrontation. Social sensitivity is abundant during this time, and it could inspire you to share your political voice and join activist projects. You’ll even be inspired this week to dig deep into the emotional realms of your family, as Mars in Cancer until the 16th gives motivation to return home to your roots and nurture the ones you love. You may feel keen to playing the victim later this week as Mars forces you to second guess yourself. This month just calls for a giant case of self-analysis, so be careful not to be too critical of others, as this could be a response to the criticism you have of yourself. Remember progress can happen when you are able to balance your own needs with the needs of those around you. All in all, Libra encourages us not to settle, but to go out there and get what we deserve!

(I just submitted my scope for next week and I'm crossing my fingers about its publication.)
I really appreciate all your advice. I agree that I don't need to get my hopes up to be let down without fair warning, but I'm also willing to give it another shot.

kind of bummed out.

for my school newspaper i am the new horoscope writer (!!). i worked super hard predicting my own general scope for this week. i studied what signs the planets were in and the major aspects and used my knowledge of planets and the signs to formulate my own original forecast. it took a couple of hours and i was pleased with my final result. my editor approved and i was thrilled to be getting published this week. i rushed to the nearest newspaper stand and picked up a copy as soon as i had a spare moment.

i flipped the paper over to the back, where my scope was supposed to be printed. it was nowhere in sight. i thought maybe the editors made a last minute decision to include it somewhere in the meat of the paper. anxiously i flipped through the newsprint, looking for my guru advices and first publication. i couldn't find it anywhere. my next step was to consult the website... maybe they couldn't find a good spot for it in the paper but they uploaded it onto the website, like some type of extra tidbit for logging on to the cyber-paper. i clicked all the hyperlinks and read the site backwards and forward.

it still wasn't there. i wanted to cry.

guess they made a last minute decision to not publish a horoscope, and didn't tell me... i emailed my editor ASAP to ask about the confusion. i asked why it didn't get printed, because the scope was good for this week only, and won't be relevant to next weeks planetary alignments. she said they had it originally placed in the paper, and took it off at the last minute. she "promises" to publish my next scope. but she also "promised" to publish my first one.

so disheartened.

old blog, new readers

2009-10-09T13:29:00.002-05:00

i like to think of myself as one of the "has-been" bloggers. for awhile, when i was still blogging as mermaid at my "mermaid goes pink" blog, i had quite the subscriber list (averaging between 200-300). having the pressure to not let my readers down took a toll on me, and i became less and less inspired. however, i'm a firm believer in the power of blogging, so i just re-did my site and took a new direction, and suffered a huge loss of subscribers in the process.

in which case, i would say i'm a "has-been". i'm no longer filling the cyber-world with informative articles and how-to editorials. i don't claim to have the answers or even how to get them. i don't post weekly mixtapes or features anymore... i'm just a girl with a lot on her mind, a huge a heart, and a tiny piece of the web where i can be free.

with all that said, it makes me really happy when a new reader comments my blog now and then. i don't make a point to check my subscriptions anymore, or even really keep track of my "ratings". but knowing that i'm reaching new people despite my lax blogging style has brought a smile to my face. don't ever be afraid to comment here. it warms my heart.

"to be alive is to be vulnerable"

2009-10-07T22:18:00.003-05:00

there is a girl that is a year older than me, that i've always kind of envied. she lives the life worth leading. she has fabulous hair, perfect clothes, and amazing friends. she jet sets to fancy concerts and music festivals all over the country, always looks effortlessly put together, and is possibly one of the most brilliant, creative souls i've ever come across. i guess more than envy, i just admire her lifestyle, wishing for that freedom and easiness that seemed to fall at her feet. she never seemed troubled with money, or boys, or feeling uninspired. in fact, she just seemed dizzy with success and luck and happiness.

there have been very few times where i looked at my life and saw it in the same perspective... that maybe i live the life someone else would love to lead. today was one of those days where i felt right in my place in the world. that i was leading the best life i could be. surrounded by beautiful people, uptight intellectuals, and the colors of fall. that i'm giving myself to the world, whole-heartedly and vulnerably, not worried about the scandal or the whispers as they pass... just opening up, ready to be swept away.

maybe you can't be the dizzy with happiness kind when you're always brooding over someone else's happiness. maybe you have to go out there and get what you're missin'.

about the boy: its a dead end going nowhere, but a girl can dream right?

(click here to read more about that)

classes are taking over me, consuming my inner mental workings and causing me to become a communist, anarchist, liberal-minded, sociopath. okay, so i exaggerated, but seriously, how many times in the last few days have i spilled out "It's because we live in a fucking patriarchal capitalist society!" or "Globalization is the root of all evil"? haha too many to count.

I have adjusted pretty fairly. My allergies are still in their peak of adjustment, but emotionally I feel very much at home. I finally have that group of girls that I can refer to as "my girls," something I've secretly always wanted, but never actually had. I'll summarize them the best to my ability:

P: she is my half roommate. we have side by side singles, and are pretty much connected at the hip. she makes me smoothies and keeps me in giggles. we bond over our hatred for hot weather and our obsession with reality tv (more specifically, Toddlers & Tiaras). We can watch YouTube videos and talk about food for hours. she feels like a sister to me. most impressively, we've developed a method of talking that involves no verbal activity. we can read one another's minds.

H: weirdly, H & P were next door neighbors, so thats how i was introduced. H lives on my floor. drunkenly, I named her "Helen of Troy" but this isn't her real name. i need this girl in my life. she builds me up and makes me feel a sense of stability, and i think i do the same for her. we like to take long walks around campus talking about boys and we are starting a radio show together. she plays guitar, and sings. i fell in love with her when she played iron & wine's Naked As We Came, in the quad outside in the sun.

S: She is the ultimate best girl friend. she is protective and nurturing. she is a complete hippie. raised by radical hippie parents, i would call her a new generation of the earth generation. ultra obsessed with the environment. she drinks lots of coffee, owns the cutest clothes, and shares with me a love of Gilmore Girls. S is also H's roomie.

and THAT is my new little family. we all live on the same floor, so it's kind of a giant love fest.

beyond cultivating a community, i'm working hard to cultivate a sense of self. i have discovered the best courtyard in a church, about a block from my building. its perfect for reading, afternoon flirting, and late night cuddles. there is a beautiful quote engraved into the stone of the church that reads:

"Love is the fulfilling of the law. Love never faileth".

I read this quote over and over, and have it ingrained in my heart forever. Here is my spot: the church.

that is the church, with the courtyard not quite in the photo. it would be on the right side. the quote is visible in this picture, but not readable.

so it goes

suffocated by the ones you love

2009-08-25T00:28:00.002-05:00

enough is enough & i’m reaching my breaking point. moving is a bittersweet feeling, but when you’ve anticipated it for SO long and yet still are in the waiting process it just creates an icky environment. everyone at home seems to be driving me up the walls and out of bounds and i can’t seem to keep a grip on why i’ll miss things around here.

“I love to see a young girl go out and grab the world by the lapels.
Life's a bitch. You've got to go out and kick ass.”
- Maya Angelou

these past days have been filled with parties and colorful nights out, in which i singlehandedly consumed the weight of my peers in alcohol and regretted it the next day(s). i can’t say it’s bad though, because i come home, sweaty from a night of feverous dancing and wicked laughing, and i feel this chummy kind of swell. like a night well spent.

(this is the boyfriend of my dear friend, who hosted a party for the end of the summer. the picture is a little blurry, but a lot cute! my sheer joy, ahaha)

tomorrow is a new era for my hair, which for now has been a redish blonde color. i will be dying it some new shade of something – not sure what yet.

i did start the grueling torturous art of packing my life into suitcases. so far, i’ve got my pictures, dvds, blankets, and fancy shoes squared away. and i’m amazed that those things took an ENTIRE suitcase. :[ how will all my beautiful garments fit into my bags? if you have any packing tips – please share! i am in desperate need.

updates and news.

2009-08-12T04:54:00.002-05:00

a lot has changed recently. i am no longer doing the quad room. basically i thought it over with my parents, and agreed it would be a VERY difficult adjustment to go from living solo to living with three other girls on top of all the other adjustments that i will need to make. so – the alternative? i’m living in a single-room. so it’s just me, myself, and i. i am kind of bummed because having a roommate would be kind of cool. but at the same time i feel a huge sense of relief.

i’ve also changed a lot around here at paper lollies – and if you’re using a reader, you might not realize it. i have added a private blogging section to my blog. the reason being simply that i cannot control who reads this blog, as it is public. i will be using private posts as diary entries, but will also be posting on here with my usual subject content (fashion, inspiration, style, life, pictures, ect.) if you want access to my private blog (and by all means, you are welcome to ask!) go ahead and jot me an email. for the most part, i want my readers to have access to these posts, as a lot are emotional troubles that i’d love input on. however, there are some people whom, perhaps the posts are written about, or i just simply don’t feel comfortable with sharing a piece of my heart to.

i know i have been lagging as far as updates go, because to be honest, i’ve been totally side-tracked with tumblr and it’s simplicity. but my true roots are here at blogger, and i really want to come back to it.

i have only a few weeks remaining till my big move up north. this is a busy bee time of preparations, good-byes, and hang-out cram-ins. i’m going to dallas for a couple days later this week to visit with my father, and my sister is traveling with me. it might be our last big event of the summer before she returns to manhattan, and i off to start my new journey in st. paul.

oh & for pure entertainment and the happenstance that this coincides with my paper-doll theme – don’t you just adore these paper dolls??

no longer available at the black apple shop on etsy, but i did stumble across these adorable girls on her blog inside a black apple. i’m obsessed!! and here is a link to the store.

i’m scared

sweden stole my bestie, now what?

2009-08-03T02:56:00.001-05:00

true story though. my best friend left for sweden this week to start university, and now i’m going through some serious downs. it kind of feels like a really bad break up. the kind where you wallow for a week eating really chocolatey ice cream while watching we-always-have-each-other-our-friendship-lives-forever type movies to remind you of the good ol’ days.

it’s the beginning of a series of goodbyes. one by one my friends are shipped off to their various locations for a variety of studies, and i’ll be the last one to leave. so i get to do all the sending off, and it sucks.

and while this rocks (because each departure is a step closer to my own travels, which couldn’t be more happily received) it is sad to do all the goodbyes in a long drawn out process.

i just hope the ice cream doesn’t serve as a remedy for all of them leaving or i’ll be in trouble!

Star-reading & inspiration

2009-07-27T02:05:00.002-05:00

this is sort of a hodge-podge of the looks that are inspiring me as i think about decorating my new dorm room. i absolutely love the paper usage on the wardrobe in the photo below, but all of these pictures contain bits of what i hope to make my new space feel like.

the biggest struggle is going to be balancing my personal design style and living habits while sharing a room with two other girls! i got my living assignments recently and i will be in a quad room (which means a room designed for four girls) but only three of us will be living there. i was a little bummed at first, because i requested a double room, but i’m trying my hardest to have a positive outlook on it. i know that if i go into the situation dreading it, then i will. so i’m slapping my happy face on and hoping to charm the pants off my roomies and hopefully all become good friends.

i’m also having a hard time down-sizing. i’ve started to prepare myself for the change i will have in college by cutting my closet in half. i got rid of clothes that i haven’t worn in the last month, because they just simply don’t get worn (except for out-of-season items and some personal keepsake treasures). i plan on donating/selling these items. plus, when i reorganized my bookshelf the other day i realized that i can’t take my entire book collection with me! i’m going to have to pick favorites – which is a process i loathe.

in other hobbies… i have always been a bit astro-obsessed, and if you follow my tumblr or twitter you’ll notice i’m often posting astrology related tidbits. however in my spare time - since i’m unemployed and on my summer vacation - i’ve picked up the art down to the tee. i’m getting really good at reading and creating birth charts and analyzing the aspects & houses, and i’ve organized it all via a journal where i will keep track of my astrological predictions and observations! (how pathetically nerdy of me, right?) for a good laugh and superstitious forecast, my favorite astro-bloggers are mystic medusa and sasstrology. highly recommend them both.

the moon is in virgo

2009-07-24T23:29:00.002-05:00

and wouldn’t you know it. today out of shear virgo-inspiration, i cleaned out my closet (sold some old jeans and scored $40) and re-organized the book shelf by color. what has virgo done to you this weekend?

xoxo

PS: we only have to panic until saturday night, when the moon will enter Libra (my ascendent) and have us all swooning over a someone special and pigging out on yummy foods.
