I am Nobody. Who are you?

But I stand in California with my toes in the sand.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GCdwKhTtNNw - "Sweater Weather" by The Neighbourhood. Because @unicorn-whispers reminded me of the song and now it fits perfectly. :)
 
Ain't nobody got time to spend money on expensive sea salt sprays when you can just make it yourself with stuff you got already. I can attest that this does work. I have super-limp, super-straight hair and this doesn't tangle it up at all. It just adds the perfect amount of volume and grip so I can actually do something with it, haha. I love this stuff. Just keep away from the roots if you're prone to dry scalp. It's still the same stuff you'd find in nature, so there's not danger of chemicals or anything. Anyway. I like this stuff. Thought you guys might too.
 
I'm done now. :)

Do you know where the wild things go?

Do you know where the wild things go?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rVeMiVU77wo - "Breezeblocks" by Alt-J. I could not get this out of my head for the life of me the first time I heard this, haha. Mostly because the "Where The Wild Things Are" reference ("Please don't go, I'll eat you up, I love you so...") pleased me so much.
 
Tried something different this time with the layout. But this is for the #combatboots contest.
 
About to go to my Baccalaureate now and then hang with my family and friends for dessert after as a kinda-sorta graduation party. I made cupcakes. And forgot to add oil so I had to stir it into the batter after pouring them into the little cupcake liners. Yeah, I'm ready for adult life, haha. xD
 
Also, I may or may not have stayed up til midnight just watching random youtube videos of Benedict Cumberbatch. I REGRET NOTHING.
 
Haha, oh lord. I'm done now. ;)

I'm breaking in and shaping up / I'm waking up / Welcome to the new age
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ktvTqknDobU - "Radioactive" by Imagine Dragons. Because of that inhale part. The best, haha. xD
 
This set could also be called "The one in which Emily mostly types in all-caps because EXCITEMENT."
 
STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS. SUCH A GOOD MOVIE. BENEDICT CUMBERBATCH BREATHES AMAZINGNESS. AND CHRIS PINE IS SERIOUSLY ATTRACTIVE.
 
Haha, I saw this with my friend the night it came out...and it was incredible. I got the references this time too! I was proud of myself! Haha, like Captain America: "I got that reference. I got it." But I really did call it all. I kept elbowing her, like, "It's coming! The hand thing's coming!" Haha, if you haven't seen the movie, it'll make sense if you see it.
 
Whoever did the costume design for this is great. All of the butts in this movie looked fantastic, especially the guys'. I know it's bad, but during one of the fight scenes when Kirk is thrown across the room, the first thing my brain said to me was, "Well...at least we get a really nice shot of Chris Pine's backside." What is wrong with me??? Haha xD
 
Also, I love how Cumberbatch's trek-shirt almost acted like his purple-shirt-of-sex in showing his, er, well-kept upper body. I mean, I didn't even realize his upper body was hot (or at least THAT hot) until he started throwing people around and shooting massive phasers with it. It was sexy, not gonna lie, haha. xD
 
Oh and watch this interview. Even if you haven't seen the movie or anything, it's just Simon Pegg being awesome, as always. And Alice Eve's laugh is freaking adorable, haha. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=20v1OxUXcQY
 
But in other news: OHMYDEARLORD. DOCTOR WHO SEASON FINALE. WHAT EVEN. I CAN'T. JOHN HURT AKA OLLIVANDER AKA THE DRAGON IN MERLIN? OSWIN BETTER COME BACK. I WILL RIOT IN THE STREETS IF SHE DOES. OKAY MAYBE NOT REALLY. BUT STILL. SHE OWNS MY HEART. BRING HER BACK.
 
Okay. DW rant over. Haha, tell me your opinions on both Star Trek Into Darkness and the Doctor Who season finale. I'd love to have a conversation with y'all.
 
I'm done now. ;)
 
P.S. These hashtags are still weird, though. I'll give it try, though. Uh. #startrek #benedictcumberbatch #spaceywacey #spaceage #HISUPPERBODYTHO #DEMBUTTS #DOCTORWHO #OSWIN #WHAT #JOHNHURT #IDONTUNDERSTAND #WHATEVENISGOINGON

This is my kingdom come.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mWRsgZuwf_8 - "Demons" by Imagine Dragons. Because everything about this is beautiful. Just...yesssss.
 
It took me a bit to figure out who to do, but I finally went, "Okay, British, elegant, poised, skinny brunette. Ohhhh. Duuuuuhhh." Haha, Kate Middleton is so beautiful and so well-put-together, it just made sense, haha. Also, something about Jenna-Louis Coleman also reminds me of Kate Middleton, but that's another story, haha.
 
I'm done now. It's late. I'm trying to figure out Daughter concert tix and I have grad stuff this friday and sunday. Also, Ren faire. Which will be hot. Ugh. Haha, yeah. Alright. I'm done. xD
 
P.S. We do this # things now...? Um. Alright? #audreyhepburn #katemiddleton #classic #hashtags?? #idon'tevenknow??? xD

When it gets loud, I turn it up / oh, shake it like a bad girl up in Harlem
http://youtu.be/NVOUTkFkMNU - "Harlem" by New Politics. Because it rocks. And you will not be able to get this out of your head for a loooong while.
 
First ever iPhone set. Because Chloe Moretz is awesome. And yes, I did buy this month's Nylon magazine because she's in the cover, (among other reasons like it just being a really kicka** magazine. Also, this is a totally different style of clothes and set than I'm used to so I don't really know how well I did it. But eh. It's done.
 
Sorry I've been so M.I.A. lately. Senior year is ending in less than two weeks and I've had college stuff to sign up for. Eeee. It's getting close. Haha, well, I'll see what else I can get up (if anything). Maybe some DW stuff because SEASON FINALE THIS SATURDAY. HIS NAME. OSWIN. WHAT. GAAAH.
 
Haha, I'm done now. ;)

Can't change all the things I've done, I know / I'm chasing the reason and my soul / I've been waiting for the right time to begin / I'm feeling like the cold, cold wind
"There's nothing left of this,
What use is innocence..."
 
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ib_9acAoXJw - "Cold Wind" by Black Rebel Motorcycle Club. I just now realized that both of my latest sets are named after songs from this band. Huh. Well, they're good, alright? Haha xD

Thank you to @her-heart-attack for creating a collection in which I could find this gorgeous masterpiece of a dress. (seriously, I may or may not have haunted your collections for a good amount of time this morning...you just find the best pieces, haha, I'm jealous xD).
 
I've had this in my drafts so long now I'm just like, "GET OUT. GET OUT DAMN SPOT." (Shakespeare quoting ftw, playa). Haha, I really do like Morgana's look after she turns evil. And she makes a great bad-girl. She reminds me a bit of Bellatrix with the spells and tight, dark clothes and fantastically-crazy black hair.
 
But I'll let you in on a secret...I've only see about half of Merlin so far, all out of order. I've seen most of season 2, most of season 4 and half of season 5. Haha, we don't have Netflix (or time, really), so we got seasons 1-4 on DVD, but we haven't gotten around to watching them the right way through. We've just caught whatever reruns are on TV, hence the wacko list. But I also read the Harry Potter books out of order and I love them to death, so it doesn't mean I don't like Merlin (I made a freaking set over, like, two weeks now so yeah I like it, haha). We're just special. xD
 
Ah, I'm done now. I have my AP tests this week and I REALLY, REALLY, REALLY need to work on my AP Studio Art portfolio. It's due Friday. And nothing will upload to the website and I've only got about three finished pieces out of 24 now and asdfghjkl WHY DO I DO THIS TO MYSELF.
 
Sigh. So if you don't see me for a while this week, just know I'm probably dying a slow, painful AP mental-death, tearing my hair and cursing collegeboard. I got 99 problems and APs are all of them. :P

GA) Here's to you, my little love, let the day begin...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mmtQwtcaqLM - "Let the Day Begin" by Black Rebel Motorcycle Club. Because I love playing this in my car before going to class. It just starts the day right. This and "In Your Light" by Gotye are the best songs to start the day with. I like that they're both happy but not in-your-face with optimism. It's just enough to work, but still be believable. :)

EVENT 1
Welcome back to Grimwood Academy! Hope you enjoyed your holidays. It’s time to meet with your friends again, pick up the new schedule and prepare yourself for nine more months of the battle called sometimes high school.
The headmaster announced that at the end of the year three most active and successful students will be able to gain some job experience in the workplace of choice. The best laboratories, law firms, advertising companies and banks in the country are open for them. Members of The Clique are also interested in this offer and will do anything to eliminate other good students fighting for a chance of their lives.

Gabe will be straightening his room and then wandering the halls like an ancient philosopher, trying to see if anyone will help him with the ending of his short story. It's about a girl whose obsession for a boy that doesn't know she exists will be her downfall, loosely based off the story of Ophelia in Hamlet singing herself insane with her lost love for the prince. And then drowning herself. Because Shakespeare. But he doesn't know whether to kill the girl in his story or not. #writerprobs
 
Haha, y'all know what to do for inclusion (I go by first comments until I start writing...I'm pretty flexible, haha). Plot ideas are much-welcome. I usually try to read most all your other stories in the group to keep a consistency, but tagging me would also be very nice if you have something specific you want. Thanks, loves. :)
 
@petronelle, @staring-girl, @glamourizerrr, @catknap, @glittercupcake, @unicorn-whispers, @mia-loves-you, @her-heart-attack

 
P.S. This is only Gabe's set. Gen's hiding out in her room because she hates people. She does this every beginning of the school year.

We got a shirt yesterday for Renaissance student (like, not quite-honors, but we still get stuff anyway because our school is surprisingly loaded) that reads, "I got 99 problems, but my grades aren't one." My friend sent me a photo on snapchat today of her pouting that said, "I got 99 probs and my grades are all of them." Accurate. So freaking accurate.
 
Haha, just a quick little story. I'm done now. ;)

"Wound up / Can't sleep / Can't do anything right / She's coming closer now / I can feel her / Fire woman, you're to blame"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ydEt4b64QDs - I actually made my first ever tutorial inspired by Clara's hair in the episode. First video to feature my face. Please be nice. :P
 
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=raql_Hh_NmU - "Fire Woman" by The Cult, which was in the episode. Which is why I chose it. Haha ;D
 
This was an...interesting episode. I really liked, though. It felt more like the old Who, but with a different twist. And I'm not sure if I want to know his name. Maybe I do. Maybe I don't. Not sure. But we'll see won't we? :)
 
I'm done now. It's late. :P

GA) "You're from the 70s, but I'm a 90s b*tch (I love it)"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rkA6PMaxpWU - "I Don't Care (I Love It) by Icona Pop. I know it's so stupid. But I DON'T CARE. I LOVE IT. It's also pretty much the best song ever to sing along to in the car. True story.
