$up,
The past couple of days have been super hectic and an emotional roller coaster ride. I moved to London on Tuesday. Even though it's only been a couple days it's felt like weeks. I know I just touched on the move in the last post, so I guess I could go more in to detail. For some reason I can jam more things in one hour over here then back home in America. I have had ups and downs, but each day the downs have gotten less and less. Today I actually didn't really feel upset or home sick which is really cool. It is fairly lonely though, because I have yet to meet some people my age or people that are going to go to my school. I met some really nice younger kids yesterday and they invited me to a surprise party in one of the dorms. Even though I am only 2 years older than most of the people here I still feel a little too old to do some of the stuff they are doing. I think reading this back, it sounds really strange. They all went to a club last night part of this thing called freshers week, which I think is like Greek Week at big name universities but for the UK. It just doesn't really sound like my scene, I'm not saying that I don't like going to clubs or anything because I do, but something about sweaty bros and girls wearing clothing that is really inconvenient for the weather drunk out of their mind dancing to techno music doesn't really sound like something I wanna be a part of. Where is the underground stuff? Thats what I am after, I wanna go to some cool shows or areas. Today one of my Aunts friends, Mel, showed me around an up and coming area. We walked around for I think 2 hours, and it was super nice, she is really welcoming and friendly. I am really happy that I got to meet her, she really showed me a lot today. I can't wait till more people move in so I can meet more people. The dorm is only half full its divided into 4 different blocks, block B is where everyone is living right now because they are all going to Central St. Martins and they start school on Monday. School for me starts on September 24th, so I still have a while to wait (That's also why my block is empty).

90s goth

The past couple days have been strangely difficult for me. I have had a horrible feeling in the pit of my stomach like something bad is happening or about to happen. I can't seem to feel okay about myself and the things I am doing (or not doing.). Its bizarre.

On the 4th I went to a party for this record label called Mother Turf. My friend Lauren is really into all the bands and the people that go to their parties. She's been telling me about them for a couple weeks, so I went with her to this party. When we got there, there was a mix of people that were super open and friendly and then there were people that looked at you like why the fuck are you here. Really though, there are those type of people everywhere. The people I did meet were very nice and I had some great conversations with them. I spent most of the party talking to my friend Gino though, if he wasn't there I don't think I would have had as much fun as I did. I always enjoy sitting down and having a deeper conversation with someone at a party instead of drunkly running around shallowly talking to 30 asking them if they are having fun. I like to really get to know someone, and I think a lot of people are actually taken back by that. Anyway Gino and Zoe (my other friend) were dressed 90s goth, and I loved it, so It inspired me to dress 90s goth yesterday.

I am wearing a black dress that I am pretty sure was sewn wrong, that I got at forever 21. Not a huge fan of that store, but I have found some gems there before for pretty cheap. The material of this dress is really comfortable, but I have to wear a bra with is, because its the kind of material that just shows everything, if you know what I mean. I am wearing my black club kid heels that I got from Sun Thrift. I can't get enough of them lately, they go with everything! This flannel that I have tied around my waist I actually don't remember buying. I actually don't really remember how I got it. Its very warm though.


Music- This is CHVRCHES - GUN (GROUNDISLAVA REMIX). I found it on my favorite music blog. I love wedidit collective and all the friends of friends boys. Their music always makes me feel something which I think is kind of lacking from most electronic music. I think a lot of electronic music sounds really cool and its fun to dance to, but it doesn't make me feel anything. Beat music produced by these guys kind of changes that. Give it a listen see here.
