Fashion. The Gist.

People just don't understand the world of fashion and how important it is to existence. I don't know why I said "people" because I meant to say "people who don't understand the world of fashion". So...People who don't understand the world of fashion just don't understand the world of fashion and how important it is to existence. Whatever, forget that. Basically, the purpose of this post is to get you to recognize your inner fashionista, and embrace it! Also, I think a lot of people have a small tinge of curiousity for what style they are...So let's start with the basics.

Types:
Classic
Prim and proper.Jewelry is muted and doesn't carry a bold statement.Well groomed, jeans and a sports blazer make a regular ensemble
This style reminds me of New Yorkers, sophisticated, but kinda boring and asking for rain.

 Preppy

Collared button-ups, polo shirts, khakis, argyle prints and a clean-cut look. People never seem to get this style right. Just think prep school.
This look reminds me of golfers...pretentious golfers. But it's nice








Bohemian

Romantic, carefree, free-spirited. Layers. Textures. Patterns. Tunics, flowing skirts, Ugg boots, flared jeans, fur, ethnic jewelry.

They're called UGG boots for a reason....














Chic
Clean lines, tailored, and ACCESSORIES! All the volume of chic comes from accessories. Bags. Hats. Jewelry. Ties.
Kind of classic's cousin
















Whimsical
An extension of a creative persona, fun, flirty, romantic, youthful, one-of-a-kind accessories that match a playful style. Unconstructed outfits.
Fun! I LOVE this!


















Avant-Garde (ah-vong-gard)
Fashion forward. No apologies. RISK. Ultramodern style that favors black, but will wear a bold and unusual piece that catches the eye of ALL who look upon it. (hee)
I always get conflicted when I see ensembles that are avant-garde...












Goth
Dark, morbit, eroticized fashion. Black is the new black...and the old black...and  just always black.
I think if you can pull off sexy goth, DO IT, but basically no one can...so don't.












Hipster

Too much controversy in this style type. Grunge. Skinny jeans on guys. T-shirts. Facial hair. Hats. I dunno. It's too crazy.
If you always wear jeans and a t-shirt, just tell people your hipster even though you're probably not.


















That's enough for today. Go. Fly away my little fashion divas!

Moral of the Story

There once was a peacock who very much wanted to fly, but due to the fact that peacocks are completely flightless, his wish was impossible. One day, a bull approached the miserable peacock.

"I want to fly, and I'm not sure why I can't," the peacock said, "all the other birds seem to fly just fine".

"Perhaps it is because you are too beautiful" said the bull.

Moral: Animals are idiots.

A caveman and his gay caveman friend were sitting around a fire. Eventually, the fire began to dwindle. The straight caveman poked the fire with a stick until it roared once again. This happened several times before the two cavemen realized they were rather hungry. 

"I kill food. Dino steak." Said the straight caveman.

"Mmm, I am just starving! That sounds faaabulous!!!" said the gay caveman.

While the straight caveman was out tackling dinosaurs, the fire began to dwindle once more. The gay caveman picked up a nearby stick and prodded the fire. Suddenly, he was straight.

Moral: Prodding a fire with a stick makes you feel manly.

Betty and George were best friends. One day, Betty didn't like George's sweater. After several hours of debating, Betty stabbed George in the heart.

Moral: True friends stab you in the front.

Cassandra was terribly ugly. She was so incredibly ugly. She was just really really ugly. One day, a group of slightly ugly to attractive people walked past her. A boy stopped in front of Cassandra as the rest of the group walked by. He stared into her eyes for a while. Then, carefully, he reached into his backpack, pulled out some air freshener, and sprayed all of the contents onto Cassandra's face.

Moral: Ugly people are associated with being smelly

A farmer and his wife had a goose that laid a golden egg every day. They supposed that the goose must contain a lump of gold in its inside, and in order to get the gold they sliced the goose open. To their surprise, the goose had the insides of any other goose. 

A man in a suit witnessed the incident and approached the couple.

"I know a goose that does have gold on the inside." He said, handing them a picture of a man, "This goose is at the Golden Casino every weekend"

Moral: Don't kill for money...unless the Mafia tells you to.

About Me

Nikole, Nikold, Kodie, Nikki, all me...preferably not Nikki, but whatever. I love the things I love and hate much less than I love. AND kisses from me to you (not weird cyber passionate ones, just fake cutesy kind.)

The World of Hot Somewhat Fictional Characters

I approve of videogames. Why? 

I will answer that question with a question.

Why not? 

Some may say "Because they are violent, pointless, addicting, stupid, not fun, not real, waste of time, etc."

To them I say. Shut up. No one asked your opinion, now let me say mine.

Apart from games being really fun, because they are,  there is one reason to play them that trumps any reason not to:

Hot Somewhat Fictional Characters.

I say "somewhat" because they are real. They're real to me. In my heart. 

Examples? Yes please.

1. Link from The Legend of Zelda Series

 Look at that.

 Though Link has appeared in many different incarnations in his games, we all know that this Hyrule hero will always be the same at heart. He is a hero, holds multiple responsibilities, saves the world,  has a deep caring factor....and he's gorgeous. *sigh of love*

2. Ezio Auditore Da Firenze from Assassins Creed

This guy is just so legit. He does such wicked, awesome, kill moves. SOOO cool. Which makes him attractive. He was a Florentine noble during the Italian Renaissance and, unbeknownst to most historians and philosophers, a central member and Grand Master of the Assassin's Order. sweeeet. 

3. Desmond Miles from Assassin's Creed

DIFFERENT from Ezio, just for you unknowings, Desmond Miles is one of the protagonist in Assassin's Creed. A bartender, Desmond was kidnapped by Abstergo Industries and taken to a secret laboratory, where he was put into the custody of Dr. Warren Vidic and Dr. Lucy Stillman. Although Desmond can be considered the protagonist of Assassin's Creed, the game is centered around his ancestors. But he's HOT. 

4. Kaiden Alenko from Mass Effect

Kaidan is a human Sentinel and a Systems Alliance Marine. He's a biotic wired with the controversial L2 implants, which are known to cause severe neurological damage to the user, but luckily, he only suffers from occasional migraines. As multi-talented as he is intelligent, Kaiden is cautious and self-controlled. 

He's lived a tough virtual life, and he is not bad looking, my friends. 

5. Roxas from Kingdom Hearts 2

Okay, I don't wanna be one of those weird anime-obsessed creeper girls, this guy is cute, like "ahhhh" cute. You know? Okay maybe not. Anyway, Roxas is the nobody of the main character, Sora. There's a lot of background to this, but basically if someone gives up their heart they create a heartless and a nobody. Sora cheesily "gave up" his heart to his lady friend, and Roxas poofed into existence as Sora's nobody. 

I just like him.

6.Nathan Drake from Uncharted

So, I've never actually played this game, but you gotta admit, he is FINE. I like his hair. But anywho, Drake frequently makes sarcastic quips and taunts, which is excellent because sarcasm rocks. Matt Casamassina of IGN commented on the character's interactions during gameplay that reveal Drake's nature: "it's lighthearted and amusing, but it also demonstrates that Nate is aware of how absurd his predicaments sometimes are. It's a small, unimportant communication, but it makes sense that the two would behave exactly as they do."

Sounds goooood to me.

7.Alan Wake from...Alan Wake

This is guy is sssweeeeeeeet. Why? He defeats evil axe-throwing demon spirits with a flashlight, a flashlight..and a gun, but whatever. He has a nice voice too, which kind of gets annoying with all his crazy narration, but, again, whatever. I still like the game, and I still appreciate this writing ghost fighter.

8. Sam Fisher

Sam is a real straight-forward guy. Though fully aware and confident of his abilities, Fisher understands that his survival has often been a gift of chance. He's Bad-A.  Fisher possesses a distinctly dark sense of humor, which is great. Personality-wise, Fisher is abrasive and honest, and has little patience for niceties and even less for lies, especially when the immediate problem presents itself. 

9. The Prince of Persia from Prince of Persia

This prince is more accustomed to blood and battles than thrones and theocracy. He is a mysterious character, with a rough exterior and a good heart. His facial scars do not detract from his perfectly chiseled jaw line, and his lucky scarf combines with his tousled hair to give him the look of a playful rocker from the rough side of town. Mmmmmm.

10. John Marston from Red Dead Redemption

Not gonna lie, this one was a toss-up for me. He's really not that hot looking and his voice sounds like Billy Ray Cyrus, BUT he's an upstanding guy that is pretty dang sweet. His loyalty and dedication are what really makes this rough gritty guy attractive and sexy. 

Failure to Launch

WELL. I have written many posts. All of them are pretty stupidly entertaining. But you know what? I've had a lot of stupidly stupid ideas or difficult ones that never made it out onto the actual blog. I am gonna share those posts with you.

Right now.

The italicized purple text is what I was thinking. 

Yeah. That's right!

Okay. Here we go.

1. Realizations

Here I am, bored out of my mind and procrastinating homework/studying for as long as I can, when I started realizing stuffs.

1.

People are...no. Er...in college there are...crap. Snap. I can't think of anything. Screw it.

2.Love: The Silent Killer

Almost all...meaning all, of my posts are basically dumb. Me being dumb. Let's take a step back, get a little serious, and talk about love.

You might be wondering "Nikole, what do you know about love?" My answer: nothing. I've never been in love. I've liked people, sure, but love?

What is love? Welll...some say it's friendship set on fire, others say it's like luck, and still others say it doesn't exist. I honestly have know idea. But I've heard talk...and I think I've gathered a few things about the realm of love that I would like to share.

1.) Attraction. You can't love someone you ain't attracted too. That doesn't mean ugly people can't fall in love, it just means that even they

What am I even talking about?  Ugly people can fall in love...with other ugly people that that ugly person finds attractive...which is less rare than you think...and, i'll work on this later.

3.)Plan for the Universe

I've come up with a plan for the rest of the universe. Trust me!

1.) Everything is free

This sounds good at first, until you realize the seemingly terrible downsides.We can't really have infinite desires with finite resources. Correct? So we need some sort of merit system, which would most likely cause a lot of tension on the planet. I say, let there be tension!!! Survival of the fittest. The very few survivors will be very happy with their seemingly endless resources til the planet dies.

This could be so epic! I'm gonna come back to this when I have enough time to give it the attention it needs!

(I never did)

4.)Curdled Milk, Rubber Hashbrowns, and Cheese Sandwhiches

That's all I wrote. The Title. I don't remember what it was about. 

5.) Love vs Hate

Love: V8 Fusion. It actually does taste good. AND there's a hidden serving a vegetables. It's a 46ounce Pomegranate-Blueberry Liquid Miracle!

Hate: Carbonation. It always burns my throat. I know, I'm a huge sissy...but it is what it is.

Love: Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

For a moment, nothing happened. Then, after a second or so, nothing continued to happen.

You're one hundred percent positive that the ship which is crashed on the bottom of this ocean is the ship which you said you were one hundred percent positive could one hundred percent positively never crash?

In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move

The ships hung in the sky in much the same way that bricks don't.

Hate: Twilight

I can do this, I lied to myself feebly. No one was going to bite me.

I stared because their faces, so different, so similar, were all devastatingly, inhumanly beautiful.

In a lot of ways, living with Charlie was like having my own place, and I found myself reveling in the aloneness instead of being lonely.

Gag.

Wait...no one cares about this stuff. I'm gonna go play Zelda. 

6.) Not a Slander

I was walking around today, hurryin to class and what not, when I saw this girl. Whatever, I see a million people everyday on campus. I looked up with my "I-am-so-bored-and-not-wanting-to-talk-to-anyone face" when she said "Hey! I LOVE your earrings!"

Wha? My face morphed from I-am-so-bored-and-not-wanting-to-talk-to-anyone to surprise to a smile. Being so polite and awesome, I replied, "Hey, thanks!"

"You're welcome!" 

And we just kept walking. 

Okay, not an exciting story, I know. It happens everyday. I know. Some people are just more outgoing than others. I know. 

BUT it made me want to compliment people. So, to followers and non-followers, here we go:

Seth: I like you're dark wash jeans. They are uber hott and make you look like Channing Tatum, but more awesome.

Andrew: Your voice is like audible platinum. I'm not just saying that. 

Dan: 

This is gonna take forever! I give up. Plus...it's a retarded stupid idea.

(Dan, nothing against you. I would have put Dan: Your hair is SO HOT! All lengths!)

Easy A....my life.

So, I've watched the movie Easy A a couple of times now. 1. I LOVE it. 2. I want to be her. Therefore, I'm gonna do my best to do so....right now.
Here's the beef of the movie:
After a little white lie about losing her virginity gets out, a clean cut high school girl sees her life paralleling Hester Prynne's in "The Scarlet Letter," which she is currently studying in school - until she decides to use the rumor mill to advance her social and financial standing.
That's it in a nutshell. So the protagonist, Olive, tells her side of the story with a big ol' webcast, in an effort to smooth out this nasty rumor. My "webcast" is going to be my blog. My losing the v-card story will be a rather upsetting tale about a couple of roommates and our inability to get along. She splits her story into different parts, from "The rumor-filled totally false account of how I ruined my flawless reputation" to  "Not with a fizzle, but with a BANG"

So enjoy, dear reader who could probably care less.

Part 1: Tears of Joy and then REGRET.
Yes. Joy. I got into a somewhat prestigious college close to home, and with full tuition. FULL tuition. Well, this college "strongly encourages" incoming freshmen to move into the dorms, so okay. In addition to my scholarship, I got a good chunk of money from the government. It's called a grant. Very useful...college goers? Look into it. So, I logged on the university's website and picked a corner bed in a corner room of a corner apartment...an empty apartment.
A while later some random girl added me as a friend on facebook. Sophia...with a little message "Um..I think we're roommates" How did she know?!?!?! So I looked it up ASAP. hmmm...Sophia, Nikole, Jenna, Elizabeth (Ashley)....Amy and Holly.
What?
I knew them.
I went to school with them.
But wanna know the real down to earth secret? I never really liked them. Holly was kinda "meh", but Amy was not a grade A friend. I always found her rather egotistical in a disgusting way. Sorry. Bein' frank. Anyway, I'm not holdin back here, I cried. In absolute utter frustration. I CRIED. My mom will totally back me up on this.
After I wiped away my not needed tears, I called Holly and Amy, and told them to please move in so many words. My "window" of moving had ended. Theirs hadn't. I was belligerent when they denied, I told myself, I guess I'll make the best of this....until it blows up in my face, because I know it will.
It did.
Part 2: Making the Best out of a No Good Terrible Gross Situation
Looooonnnnnnnnngggggg story short: it was hard to get along. I tried to in the summer, but it was a no from day one. I was even giving them the benefit of the doubt in my own personal journal. "Amy is kind of condescending," "I'm having a bit of a problem with Holly....," "Amy has a tendency to be egoistical," etc. I was even putting it nicely in my own private journal with my own private thoughts.
So we moved in. Exciting day!!! I met my other roommates, and in a non-gross lezbo way, we were a match made in heaven. But after a few days of happy go-lucky jazz with my hidden annoyance, it all changed.
Part 3: Maybe a Match Made in Hell (Sorry if that offends...)
That's right. Why? Because eventually it was clear my extreme annoyance with the two girls was shared by my other roommates. That was good. Really it was. Because we could share our feelings and anger with each other. Unfortunately, those feelings grew like a huge-o forest fire. Big whoop. Right? Then Holly went and made us all mad in the most despicable way.
That trick turned me in.
I like how Ashley words the situation.
" Nikole walks in, obviously upset. Apparently a CERTAIN roommate was uncomfortable with the fact that Nikole occasionally spends the night at a friend's house, so she went right ahead and talked to our RA to "see if it was against the Honor Code" without even talking to Nikole about it first!! (And just to clarify, Nikole and a group of her best friends have been having sleepovers with each other for a while now at this house, and yes, there are a couple males involved. They do everything together...they even formed a band a few weeks ago :) But she never knew this was against the Honor Code because she wasn't doing bad things or even doing it on campus. Just a group of besties hanging out at someone's house.) So the RA went to the Head RA, and they're going to talk to the Honor Code office about it. This is worse than it sounds. The Honor Code people take their job very seriously, and if they feel the Honor Code is being broken, serious measures will be taken. Nikole could very easily lose her scholarship, and if worse comes to worse, she could even be kicked out of the school."
To say I was upset, is a steep understatement. So, we talked to them. After our discussion, it was supposedly understood that all Honor Code violations be brought up with the person before the H.C.O.
Remember that. It's important to the story.
ANYWHO, we were all frustrated with the two (fill in a variety of insults). So, in all honesty, we weren't exactly nice to them. In our defense, we never did anything terrible and they were hardly home anyway. PLUS, they did stuff back, like walk in two minutes after guys are supposed to leave saying "Do you kids need help moving to the lobby?" Gag.
Mostly, we just talked about them behind their backs. We are college girls. It happens.
Part 4: Deny Me Once, I Try to Get Along, Deny Me Twice, You Gotta Get the H*** OUT
It wasn't long before we were all sick of the situation. We talked to them, as straight up as possible, the four of us told them why they do NOT mesh in this apartment and why they should move. They denied again.
You know...Amy kept on talking about how she doesn't need acceptance to be who she is blah blah blah won't change for anyone blah. Amy. Girl. If you ever read this, frankly, you're an idiot. No one wanted you to change, we wanted your butt out of our place.
Fine.
Whatever.
We decided that we're sick of all this stupid stuff, and made an agreement to be nice from now on. No backtalking. No pranks. No nothing. Nice.
Part 5: A Broken Promise
Remember how we would take up Honor Code stuffs with the person first? Yeah. Those girls don't know what an agreement is.
Jenna, Sophie, Ashley, and I all had meetings, individually, with the Hall Advisor and the head of ALL housing at BYU to discuss our "disregard of the rules".  Here's the deal. My best friend ever, Sophie's brother and Jenna's brother have been in their sister's bedrooms. NO ONE cared. Well, untrue, someone did, but they didn't have the lady balls to come talk to us about it. They told their mother. Their mother. Who called the head of housing and complained.
Time out.
We moved out. We are living on our own. We are legal adults. Is it really appropriate to get your mom involved in something like this? No. It's not.
GROW UP HOLLY!
Anyway, so because my "offense" wasn't family, I'm in even more trouble. I do have to move out. Let us hope that the behavioral contract I now have to sign tomorrow doesn't involve me paying for housing anyway.

So that's that.
The entire story.
That's my side of the story, the right side.
I didn't exaggerate the truth. I didn't lie.
Questions? Post 'em. I'll answer full heartily.

Amy, Holly, I wish you luck in your life. Because in all honesty...you're gonna have a rough time. Four people are moving out, and changing their lives completely, leaving their new ward and neighbors....because of you. I have to move home. I don't wanna do that AT ALL. Because of you. I'm sorry if we hurt you. But talk to the person next time.
From,
Me.

Tooth Fairy: Leading Kids to Gehenna

Little Candice Harrison finally felt the wiggling sensation in one of her central incisors. After hours of tugging, and shimmying(?) her little baby tooth, it lost its grip on her little pink gum and fell out. Carefully, she placed it under her pillow, and the next day, awoke to a shiny new quarter...or two...or twenty bucks (inflation). Oh. How sweet is that?!

But, what happened to Miss Candice Harrison?
Meet Candy. That's right. Candice grew and chose a less-than-desirable occupation charging $30-$150 an hour for her "services".

Stay with me. Prostitution is often referred to as the oldest profession, dating back to the beginning of time. Women were totally gypped and had no way of earning money. Well, it is said that men have always been at the mercy of their urges, and so women learned to sell their bodies for food, clothing and shelter.

Bull.

Prostitution started because children like Candice learned they could sell their body parts for money. The Tooth Fairy taught them this. Eventually, (after a short phase of hack-sawing enemies and selling those body parts) girls, like Candice, realize they can sell their entire bodies.

So, remember the next time you tuck in your little toothless girl in for a sweet night: That mythical Tooth Fairy you told her about, could lead that little girl into the very depths of Hades.
