My Dearest Margaret,

        I've decided to make the inaugural post on this here blog because I have some stuff to tell you.

I just finished moving into my dorm room today. It's still looking pretty barren because I decided to play it safe and pack really light. Here are some crappy cell phone pictures of the room:

Haha my side is kind of sad looking...

Before I left, I mostly procrastinated. Like super procrastinated. Like I packed up at 9:00 last night.

So instead of packing, I started a few projects! I'm working on the hand embroidery part of this skull piece that I'll probably turn into a pillow (again, crappy cell phone picture):

Also it won't rotate! Blargh.

I started machine embroidery again, which is how I did the skull part. Good for hours of putting things off!

I also got re-hired to do costumes for the hair show, obviously not in the same capacity as last year, but I am PUMPED! It's a good excuse to come home on the weekends. LeighAnn asked me to make some dresses from magazine pages, so I started on that. And I forgot to take pictures before I left. I'm working on a zigzag accordion folded bodice that looks sort of like this:

If you want to see it, look on my desk in my room.

Did you know Ben Howard is coming out with a new album?

I got these sweet as heck rollerskates at the Mission Thrift the other day:

I put rainbow laces on them for style AND functionality.

They are also on my desk. Try them out in the dining room. They are unbelievably fun and Joey is very intrigued by them.

ALSO, Jessica and I got holes poked in our bodies! Guess Where?

Don't tell Dad, I'm going to see if he notices when I come home on Labor Day.

Here is a SUPER creepy snapchat of mine:

Have fun sleeping now!

It was an ordeal to get them done. Jessica went first and she said it didn't hurt at all, but it bled a lot. Then I went and the piercing lady stuck the needle halfway in and then dropped the earring and had to pick it up and I was sitting there with a needle stuck in my nose and Jessica's like "OH MY GOD DON'T TOUCH IT IT'S OKAY IT'S OKAY" and I had to sit on my hands so that I wouldn't pull it out and stab the piercing lady with it. Anyway, she finally got it through and then said that it was super hard to get it because I have a "puggy nose." I guess I can't deny that. It hurt like crazy. BUT now it's done and for the first few hours I was absolutely sure I was going to take it out, but it has grown on me. I had to get a big rhinestone stud for it and I can't wait to change it for something really really tiny. What do you think? Samantha reprimanded me for it and Mitch said it was "good?" He hates it. Anyway, I like it and it reminds me of Jessica!

 Oh my god I just wrote a giant paragraph about a hole in my nose. Get back to me. I miss you ver ver much.
