Friday Fashion: New Year's Resolution Style

Remember my bucket list? Well some of those are actually things I would like to acclompish this year, New Year's Resolutions perhaps (I don't really like to call things that, because then I fail at them).  The thing that I am really working on right now is learning how to walk in heels.  I didn't tell you guys this but I am going to be a bridesmaid for the wedding of the girl who was my best friend when we were in high school.  So I would like to learn to walk in heels by then, which would be September.  Ideally, I would like to learn to walk in heels way before then because I really like my heels.  Of course my feet don't like them, because they're not used to wearing them.  But I've been wearing them all day until my feet hurt when I'm at home, and so far I'm doing alright.  A few stumbles here and there, but not much worse than when I walk around barefoot.  So here is me wearing my "New Year's Resolution" heels.  And bear with me, because my automatic shutter release hasn't arrived yet.

Shirt and lacey tanktop under the shirt are from Goodwill.  Jeans and heels are from Crossroads Trading Co.  And I'm starting out wearing socks with them so I don't get blisters and other fun stuff besides them just hurting my feet.  And just so you know, these pictures make the heels look shorter than they actually are.  They're 4 inches.  It's basically the equivalent of teaching someone to swim by throwing them into the deep end, only without the possibility of drowning.

In other news, the "u" key on my laptop keyboard is being slightly harder to push lately, and it's been driving my OCD crazy.

And, in more exciting news, I got some pretty much free belts on eBay.  I earned about $4 in eBay bucks from my Christmas shopping, and I found three skinny "leather" belts for 99 cents each, with free shipping, which I snapped up.  There's one yellow, one red, and one orange.  I love it when I get stuff for free, or nearly free.  They're basically letting me spend the same money twice.

A Guy Bought me Lunch Today

Yep, it's a two post kind of day.

So, what did you think of my title? Pretty intriguing, huh? Well, I tricked you. Although the title is totally true, it wasn't a guy my age.  It was this old guy in my physics class. He's like 60 or 70 and he goes to get lunch at the hospital cafeteria every day after class, so on Tuesdays, I eat lunch with him so neither one of us has to eat alone. He carries my tray for me since I'm incapable of that.  He helped me with my physics paper today by explaining the drag coeffecient and how to calculate terminal velocity and he showed me this really cool 3D vector modeling program that is free! So I know how I'll be procrastinating for a while. His wife died of cancer a few years ago and he never had any kids and he's retired so he's all alone. He didn't have much to do to keep him occupied so he decided to go back to school and learn physics. He used to be a doctor and he is baffled by my weird condition that causes me to be unable to walk. I thought it was kind of weird the first few times he talked to me, but he's just a lonely old guy and so now I think of him as sort of a grandpa figure.

Rest assured, C is still the number one guy in my life. I still haven't told him that I like him though. I asked two different people if I should, one guy and one girl, and the girl said that I shouldn't tell him unless I'm 100% sure that he likes me back and the guy said that I'll never know for sure and I just have to take the risk. Any advice?

Okay, this is completely unrelated, but for all of you guitar players out there, there are these brand new guitars on Ebay for just $70! I really don't need another guitar since I already have two, but if you're in the market or want to learn to play, here's the link. The seller has 99.2% positive feedback, so I really wonder how good these are. Must. not. buy. I miss my guitar. I am bringing him back when I come back from spring break. Maybe I can get C to teach me a song or two.  My guitar's name is Jack (named after Jack Skellington from Nightmare Before Christmas) and I just got him before I started this year of school. He is a beautiful blue color and I miss him soooo much.  But I did buy a new camera. It has 10 megapixels and is brand new. My current camera has 8.2 megapixels, takes noisy pictures, and doesn't have the aperture open all the way sometimes.  I am taking a design class next quarter and noisy pictures will definitely not get me a passing grade.  Okay, bye for reals now.
