Weekend Project - An Ohio Canvas?

I want to make an Ohio picture like this:  here we go!
With a border like this: go here!
 
That will be my project this weekend.  To try to do that, then proceed to give it to my Sister for her Junior Recital!  
 
I just have to decide on which city... Maybe I can just have Ohio and put a nice thing saying  "The Heart of it All" in script all in scarlet and gray.  
 
That would work.  
 
Thanks for talking this out.

What I'm Dating

Chet Porter published an article a while ago, the "5 Inanimate Objects You Date in College"
 
He lists the five following things:
1. Homework
2.  Fast Food
3. Your Computer
4. Alcohol
5. Netflix
 
Which I totally agree with...  If I didn't live at home, I would probably have eaten a lot more fast food this past year.  Which I totally don't need. 
 
I would add my bed though.  I have a pretty close relationship with it.  I tend to do a lot of my homework here, writing, thinking, even eating and drinking. Sadly that is an accurate description of my life.  
 
Sad, but true.

I am not an Object.

I do not enjoy getting catcalled. 
 
I do not want to be called "baby" when  I walk down the street.
 
I do not deserve to have to feel uncomfortable when I am just walking minding my own business and I get repeatedly called on by two guys to come up with them and drink.  
 
I do not deserve to have sexual comments made about me by two complete strangers.
 
 I do not desire to hear how some guy who has seen me for 2 seconds wants me.
 
I do not know you.  
 
Why would I want to drink a beer with you?
 
Who are you?
 
Why would you want to invite me up there to drink with you?
 
I am overweight, I don't look that pretty, I'm not desirable by today's standards.
 
I'm just the only one out walking on the road at 11:30 that night.
 
So when I ignore you because as a lone female walking at night, when you're making sexual comments and offering me alcohol, I have every right to ignore you. 
 
You seem preditory. 
 
Out to get me.
 
You seem to be a safety hazard.
 
 I do not deserve to be called a bitch when I feel very uncomfortable by everything you've done and I have not been given the opportunity to say hi back.  
 
This article, by Anne Gus from Thought Catalog, in her 5th point is why a a lot of guys become undatable - at least in this girls humble opinion.

Life Update?

So I wanted to be more artsy and take more photos every day.  Which is why I tried the 365 image challenge.  It didn't work out. But one could dream. 
 
This past weekend I went to Dayton.  And there have been some things surrounding it.  And so I actually will be doing....  a mini series?  of different things that had happened that I just want to talk about and who else but the good ol' internet wants to listen?

Well... Whoops. Happy End of year?

So I had a goal to post a picture a day, beginning in November.  But clearly I failed miserably.
 
It's about to be a new year... So a new start - Right?
 
Here  is something that popped up on my newsfeed that encorperates something I just love!!!

December!

 
  I am continuing with this 365 photo challenge by Positively Present, and this month's color is "garnet".  I will just be using Red though.

November 12th :)

When I woke up this morning, I was going about my business.  Finally I looked out the window and realized that it had snowed!!!  That pairs perfectly with the pumpkin spice latte (yes, I'm one of those girls). So I made one, and upon finishing I realized that there was the cocoa color on it!  I was barely up for fifteen minutes before I had my post for the day! Heck yes!!!

What a way to start! Soon I'll have to get ready to meet Danielle to work on stuff for school.  Silly school.
