My new favorite poem

Just thought I would share. My mind has been all over the place today.

This has been me lately

.

I do know some of my wants I guess. An apartment/studio in a state that's not California, in a place that knows seasons. A job that leaves me questioning and wanting to learn more. A job that I'm happy to tell friends "I can't, I have to work" when they ask me to do something. I want to live in a place with accents, accents that I can hear. Apparently we have accents here but they're lost on me.
I want this:

and this:

and this:

and maybe some of this:


I want something new and exciting that lasts. New friends, new views, new vintage/resale stores, new projects, new spaces, new stuff. New, fun, stuff.

All images courtesy of we heart it users. I wish I had kept better track of these. I apologize.

Sometimes a little, sometimes a lot

Again with the stumbling upon gorgeous things!

Delightfully found here
I wish, wish, wish there were carnivals this pretty by me.


Which reminds me, I must must must start learning Portuguese this year. MUST! I must also continue working on my Spanish.

I just found my new favorite website to get lost in: Polyvore

I might be super late to this game but I accidently came across it while looking for the perfect picture of a specific pair of Lavin shoes that Jennifer Aniston is wearing on the new cover of W with Gerard Butler.
Normally I'm not much of a W freak unless my stepmom buys it and I steal it for the pictures later, but her shoes just caught me off guard.

Gorgeous. The shoes... well forget it, everything and everyone in the picture, let's be honest.

So while searching for the shoes I came across a different, equally eye dazzling pair. It led me to this amazing collage that I guess can be made on Polyvore... who knew?! Not I!

....

I'm pretty sure the look on my face as I scrolled through some of the collages looked awestruck. I haven't found this feeling of inspiration in a while. It hit my heart.

I'll leave you with one of my birthday gifts to myself!

My Desk At Work. Decorated. yay birthdays!

When I walked into the office on Friday this is how I found my desk:





They couldn't figure out what freaked me out so they just decided printed cats, clowns and slabs of meat. They also left me a pretty little message that was someone mimicing the sound of throwing up. NO THANKS!!!
Puke does freak me out, the other things just made me laugh.
Oh yeah, and they spelled my name horribly wrong. They also did that on purpose knowing that it makes me a tad irritable. I mean, my twitter name is coreywithane... I am very fond of my e. (clearly not the drug, I don't own any of that kind of e)

So there's that, more later with birthday gifts and such.

I have some of the bestest friends ever!

YAY 24!

Great Birthday. Really great birthday. Still need to make the 25 before 25 list. Number 1 will be GET A TATTOO!!!!!!! Definitely. Here are my two ideas...

Style and colors of first picture, I like the pretty bow on the second balloon picture, I want to incorporate it somehow. This one will be on the inside of my left arm, one balloon above the elbow bend and one below. I want "such great heights" written above the top balloon. Favorite song!




These would be in a trail form as if they were blowing from my back, around my ribs right under bra line. Different fall colors. Again on the left side. For some reason I love the left side. I'm saving the back of my right arm and shoulder for a different tattoo idea... I want Kat Von D to do it, noooo joke.

Later I will upload pictures from the weekend.

BIRTHDAY WEEKEND!!!

I've been lagging this week I apologize. This past week (or past few) have been flying by. This one definitely. Sunday night I was at a show hanging out with friends, Wednesday night I was in Los Angeles for the same friends, stayed in Long Beach with a bunch of new friends, came back down Thursday afternoon to sleep and then get some food and put myself back to bed because Wednesday night was a party in an apartment.
Today I come into work and my desk is completely covered in paper cats, clowns, raw meat (I'm vegetarian) and my name spelled wrong. I LOVE BIRTHDAY WEEKENDS!!!! Today is just the start, well I could say Wednesday night was just the start. Oh it's great. But the cats are pretty distracting.

I'll post pictures soon.
