bizarre.

so i'm going to throw myself into this blogging thing yet again, in the vague (yet definitely present) hope that something positive will come from it.

i'll most likely just rant, stupidly, and inform my absent readers of inconsequential things, but i need to start forming words again. my brain has grown sloppy.

inconsequential business #1: m. butterfly
Would seriously consider relocating, on an international scale, for the ability to shop here regularly. Their dresses are beautiful -- and they don't ship to the US. I miss Cambridge/I miss Cambridge/I miss Cambridge.

I love the typical British casual dress -- incredibly short, modest in the cleavage, generally floral, feminine, and ultimately classy (all whilst being unbearably adorable). It's a certain aesthetic Americans haven't quite grasped, and frankly, I hope they don't. It would sully it all somehow.

I've stored "Decidedly British Dresses" in the same parts of my mind as Strongbow cider and jacket potatoes. I don't wish to see them drug out into my everyday culture. They're part of a fantasy of sorts, my summer abroad, etc...

inconsequential business #2: tanning
or, rather, toasting. burning. bronzing. whatever. i rely upon silly things to keep me distracted from reality. to the depressed over-thinkers out there, get yourself a really silly hobby. the more the merrier. when mindlessly shopping (but rarely buying) wasn't enough to keep me distracted from a rather bleak reality, i took up tanning. it's a good distraction hobby because it makes you prettier, at least for now. don't give me skin cancer and wrinkle lectures, because i'm well-educated and disinclined to give a shit. and yes, i encourage you to find activities full of meaning and purpose. those help you feel better too. but, damnit, sometimes you just need to be silly.
