It started with a doormat.

Okay, no that's not true. It started with a wooden door, and beneath that wooden door was a doormat, it was causal with a 'Welcome' written on it in white letters over the bristles to scuff your dirty shoes on. In the middle of the wooden door was a doorknob, some brass, screws. Beyond the wooden door was a boy, leaning against the window with his arms folded over his chest.

In front of the wooden door was a girl, her hands trembled against the doorknob, still unsure if she would make the small motion to reveal what was inside.

She twisted the doorknob to the right and the door creaked open. The boy looked up from his dirty shoes, even though he scuffed them along the doormat. Her stomach twisted into knots she didn't think was possible.

No conversation was exchanged between the two bodies.

Finally, she turned right…

Trust me, that song defines me. Listen to it.

Well, it's that time of year again... time for New Year's Resolutions. I like to make and start mine a few days before the New Year so that I can tweak them before it's too late!

And this year I have one simple goal that will probably not need changing...
DO BETTER.

You see, I am a good person, but I want to be a better person. I am not exactly sure how it's going to work out over the course of the year, but I am going to start by keeping a diary. So I went to Barnes & Noble this morning and bought this environmentally friendly journal (ecojot.com) to keep track of my thoughts. The cover is as simple as my New Year's Resolution...
RETHINK.

We're celebrating Christmas with my dad's side of the family today. This is what I plan on wearing (give or take the antlers).

Interesting tidbit about the antlers actually. I got these ones at a dollar store a few years ago, so nothing special. When I was younger, I used to have a huge pair of brown antlers with ornaments hanging off of them. I used to wear them for probably all of December, so much that people would occasionally call me Antlers. I wish I still had those ones, they were pretty bamf. Yeah, I'm awesome XDXDXD

... and almonds.

I love cuisine photography.

Firefox is acting up, so I had to go to the ~dark side and return to internet explorer for a moment. I made this one black and white, and my sister helped me out with the editing, so the skyline would show up, but I really like it!

I know it's late and it isn't Christmas anymore in most parts of the world, but I might as well squeeze a picture in while I can.

caroling time.
