Saturday Night

Another Saturday that I will no doubt be doing nothing. And by nothing this time, I mean playing SSX Tricky by myself all day. I should probably have prefaced that by saying that I'm not at all disappointed or frustrated at my current situation. I think I'm like a sponge when it comes to people. Most of the time I love to absorb interaction, but after a while it becomes too much and I just need a break. I've seen it happen before to myself and others, and it usually plays itself out within a week or so. My problem is that I'm ridiculous in social situations and very "to the point" about breaking things off. I just don't like dragging things out.
So it shocked me that I was genuinely sad when I woke up
this morning. I was thinking "December 1st. This is my last full month in Illinois for at least a year, maybe 2." I'd like to think that I can adapt fairly quickly to change even though I absolutely hate it. So that's not why I was sad at all. It was because I'm going to miss (mostly)everybody and everything I have been introduced to while here (which would be the entirety of my 21 year life). I've been out of the state, and even out of the country. But never for an extended period of time like this. And especially not to a big city like New York. To live. That's crazy talk! So we'll see how that goes. And I think that that's when this blog will really be about something. Because right now I can't think of anything else to write about. Since I'm going to fashion school, how about I put up pictures of fashion related items that I'm going to buy in the near future? Ok, well first and foremost, I need a new coat. The one I have is adorable, it's your basic puff coat from the Gap. But I feel like I should take something classier and edgier to NY, so I want this one from the Nord.

I like it because it looks like a dress and I think it's cute. Cons: No hood, which is idiotic for a Chicago or New York winter, even though I don't ever get cold, I'd just feel more comfortable for my mother's (whose constant nagging will affect my own) sanity if said coat had a hood. But pros: all the hat/glove combos I'll be able to choose from.
I know I've lost all my credibility by turning this into a fashion related post, but rest assured that when something of substance comes up that I care about, I can string together ridiculously pedantic prose as well. But honestly, what did you expect? It's called "The Hauteness" for a reason. It's a thinly veiled reference to the genre of clothing which I hope to design in the near future.
Completely unrelated, I should add that it snowed and rained ice today, and the doors to my house are iced shut. I'll take pictures tomorrow.
