Frankie Says, "Relax"
Wooo. I am twenty. Hey girl, hay. That deserves two snaps up!
LOL I had a rather fun and fabulous birthday. I got my hair done and hung out at my aunts salon afterwards. We were done. We really were. Between the champagne and shots - we were ovah. OK? Haha.
Then we all went to eat at this restaurant in Staten Island called DoSi. It was really good and the waiter was really trying to get me on my way to the bathroom to wash my hands. He basically escorted me there - like I didn't know where the bathroom was. Even though there was a hugely lit sign that said "restrooms". I don't know. I suppose he figured that I could not read. Whatever. He was a little cute though, I won't lie but brains, manners, and common courtesey, beat looks anyday and he had none of the aforementioned. He lost.
He even came for my aunt. Telling her how beautiful I am and she was like, "aww isn't she??!". The first time he did that, I was embarrased infront of our table and the table next to us who, for some reason, felt like they were there for my birthday as well, and I just smiled and politely said "thank you".
Then he did it a second and third time and kept giving me this corny smile - ugh, I was so ready to deck him with my fork. Whatever though haha.
Anywho - Thank God for Wi-Fi right now! This no service business would kill me all week. Jeez.
But um, yeah..I'm going out with my brother. I'll be back laterrrr holmes.
kiss those teenage years good-bye!
So, tomorrow is my birthday. I will be 20/twenty/two-zero at 10:10 AM. No more "-teen". After seven years of being a teenager I will be bidding farewell to all of that - time to grow up, I suppose.
Anyways, I'm excited I guess. I have no idea what I'm going to do - everyone I shot ideas to has basically been ass and mia. Whatever. I'm going to Staten Island tomorrow morning to get my hair completely transformed. And I mean it. COMPLETELY.
It'll be about three shades lighter, heavily layered (I'm growing it out, but I want it to be layered a lot by that time) and I don't care what anyone wants to do with me. Why? Because it's my birthday and I am always solid on planning for such events and well, no one thinks twice so neither will I. I'd rather go out with my mother, aunt, and her friend (who also celebrated her birthday on July 7th - hey cancers hey!).
Anyways - I'm going to indulge myself, alone. The next time we meet, I'll be 20.
Aurevoir!
My heart is damaged..
And you can blame the one before.
That is all.

By the way...

decisions, decisions..
Okay, finally -- I am happy with the graphic I made to go with the Ikea-ish, contemporary wood floor background. I was going for a Pottery Barn/Crate & Barrel look. Did I succeed? Who cares. I like it. I've never made any graphic with polaroids as of yet; the header is a first in my seven years of self-taught photoshop sessions. I'm quite proud - the pictures as well as the brush splatters, came out pretty well as a .gif.
Anywho, we have a great deal to discuss; I've been lazy and haven't updated on anything that has been going on.
First things first - I am jobless, still. I'll find a job soon, I know I will; I always do but I am so sick of ass-end jobs where I either stand around and deal with the lunatics of the public or sit around cleaning after stupid ass losers. Sorry to be so blunt, but my past jobs have been those and well, I was pretty fed up. NO RETAIL and I refuse to sit at a desk all day looking at my reflection on the screen or building a caluse on the middle finger of my right hand from writing all day. Ew. Not happening. At this point I may just look for a daycare job. I am pretty sure places will hire me when they see that I work for the YMCA doing aftercare. So, we shall see what comes of my job hunt soon enough.
Last weekend, I went out to Montauk for the 4th and well, it was quite disappointing. It rained ALL weekend -- which it hardly ever does. However, that weekend, which I had also invited my friend Renata to come out for some beachin' and pimpin' on my dad's boat, Mother Nature decided to make the skies above cloudy and gloomy all day and pouring rain at night. The only decent night was actually the 4th, Friday. It was nice out, the sun managed to peek out here and there. There was no sunset, by the time the sun started going down the fog started coming in. Anywho, that night my brother and future sister in law, took me and Renata to dinner and this little place on the beach called Sunset Saloon; guess who sat right by us? Molly Shannon! Yeah, SUPERSTAAAAR! It was so cool - I was so suprised. I don't see many "celebs" out there. I've only saw Paul Simon and Mercedes Ruehl so far and I believe I'm the only one out of all my friends who would actually know those two..haha. But it was cool seeing her enjoying herself. She had her two kids with her - they were really cute, playing in the water and whatever. So yeah, it rained -- me and Renata hung out with my brother a lot -- and his friends out there. As far as I've seen, the only thing for people my age that live out there, to do is 1. Drink and drink a lot 2. Smoke weed, a lot of weed & 3. Surf . Out of the three, I only drink. But I don't drink as much as they do, by far. I believe they get trashed -- and I mean, completely obliterated, every single night. I'd presume that I'd be dead within a week if I tried to live that lifestyle. So - not for me. Even though my brothers friend is, in my opinion, painfully gorgeous. :dies: I'd never go for it though, haha. I would feel kind of weirded out -- he's really close with my brother...I dunno..just, ew. haha. Moving on, Renata had to be back in Philly Sunday night so we left Long Island Sunday morning. On the way home, I was charging my sidekick because we stayed in the trailer, not on the boat with my parents, and the trailer wasn't hooked up to electric so I couldn't charge in there. By the time I got to the Verrazanno Bridge I realized my dead sidekick still hadn't turned on from when I started charging it TWO and a half hours earlier when we left Montauk. By then, I was like, "WTF!?" So when i got home I unpacked and plugged it into the wall charger -- still nothing. I almost started crying. My poor baby had DIED. Can you believe it?? It was only 10 months old -- not even. So I rushed it to the T-Mobile store in the mall and they said -- "Oh, call this 1-877 number for support and they'll send you a new one by Wednesday.." Sure enough, I was still under warranty since it wasn't a year old and I have insurance on it so Tuesday morning my new child arrived all shiny, smooth, and beautiful as ever. Those two days without my kick, though, were SOO hard. I never realized how bad my addiction was until it died on me. It's really bad, haha.
Oh -- it's singing "Rock With U", I got a text.
On that note, I'm going to end it here. I'll probably write tomorrow -- there are a couple more things I'd like to get off my chest as well so, be there or be square.

rihanna: eh eh eh eh eh..
Here's a temp. new layout -- I'm on the fence with it, real iffy. So just look at it for now LOL.
Re
-use -cycle -organize -design.
I'll be redesigning the blog soon due to the lack of updates as of late. So I figured I owed it to the readers - if any. haha.
So - yeah, hopefully tomorrow since I'm home all day.
I have some ish to tell you guys too.
til then, be safe. outtie 5000!
interior design
So I randomly disappeared for a while LOL - I know I know..I just left you guys hanging. See, I decided, extremely randomly and unexpectedly, to redo my entire room. If you have never seen my room or pictures of my room, then let me explain to you what this decision meant.
My room was cranberry red (paint by Ralph Lauren, lol) and the slanted walls and ceilings were an off-white french canvas (it had turned a bit yellow-ish overtime). Anyways, there were collages on my walls, and just a great deal of clutter and old furniture. Haha.
So, not last weekend, but the weekend before my parents bought a new bedroom set and that's when it sparked in me to take their furniture and upgrade my way of life within my room. I had my bedroom set since I was two (its a really nice set, it truly is but I'm going to be 20 in 21 days and well, it's time for a mothafuckin' change, okay?!) and by Lexington - but I need a bigger bed. That bed was twin and everytime I would throw myself on the bed or roll over in my sleep I'd basically come close to falling off the damn bed. Not cute.
I took my parents furniture (which included a QUEEN bed, UPGRADE!) and painted it black. I decided that I would paint my room a pale grey-ish/silver and keep the color scheme to black, white, and grey/silver. It took me three and a half days to paint the entire room - afterall, I had to paint over RED. That was a challenge in itself. While doing that, I decided that eventually I would go back to the paint store and buy metallic wash in silver and sponge two walls and the ceiling to add an effect to the room (didn't do that yet -- whenever i get a new job for the summer I'll get back to that lol 23 BUCKS A QUART - say what?!).
Anywho- I finally finished painting and went out and bought a new queen sized mattress and it's heaven if I may add. I used one of my brothers old quilts and sheets for a couple nights til I decided what exactly I wanted on my bed and in my room.
I decided on the modern, yet vintage damask design:
The challenge? Finding it. LOL. So last Saturday, mother and I travelled all over creation looking for items for my room. In HomeGoods, I found a silver foiled mirror with black damask designs on the outside edges, very chic. I found a mirrored jewelry box with again, black damask designs on it. Tre chic! And a damask designed throw quilt to cover my window seat cover.
Now seeing all this damask all over I figured, hey, why don't I stencil it on the walls in the metallic silver. So, that's what I'm going to do. It'll look a bit like this:
 I thought it'd be cute. But yeah. I finally, after many returns at Target, TJ Maxx, and Marshalls, found a summer quilt in black and white damask that matched the throw quilt on my window seat. PERFECT! I also bought a black and white damask throw pillow and fortunoff and....well, didn't return two black pillow shams to Target that belonged with a previous purchase - but they didn't notice so I didn't say anything. LOL. Aaaand I found a third matching pillow sham for the quilt. Hooray. My bed is complete until the fall lol.
In Bed Bath & Beyond, my mother found black and white curtains that are to die for. Just fabulous. The only thing that was missing was a hint of color and greenery. So again, I went to my trusty friends at Target and bought a vase for $20, some black stones, two grasses, and an orchid. It looks rather lovely.
So basically that's where I've been.
Now I need a redbull after writing that up. lol. TTYL.
