I recently felt like I didn't have enough selfies. I went through all the pictures I have uploaded to the computer via my iPhone (up until 2013), and put all of the "selfies" that weren't makeup less, super close, or intentionally ugly into one folder. I had 32 pictures. I kinda wished I had more as selfies are pretty normal now a days. Taking them doesn't necessarily make you vain or self obsessed, in many ways it's a part of our social culture. Maybe it's the other way around? Everyone is so self obsessed we don't even care enough to notice other people. Personally, I'm voting for the second hypothesis. I might just be negative towards the whole thing as I'm not a talented "selfie artist". I blame my underdeveloped arm length. A photo of an oblong face on an oblong screen isn't really a good look. My "problem" areas are; long face, big nose and oily skin. What my selfies accentuate; long face, big nose ,and oily skin. Whenever my friends take photos of us it's a whole different story, the angle is good and my face looks more proportionate. I guess this indicates that I should buy a selfie stick, but I don't want to be a part of "it". But here I am fixating on my appearance. Not only am I fixated, I'm actively blogging about it and posting it for whomever to see! I'm not gonna sugarcoat it or try and make myself seem all deep and poetic by saying I'm a paradox. Stating that you don't like how shallow society is just to turn around and complain about you appearance, on the internet nonetheless, is hypocrisy. So here I am, a fucking hypocrite. I'm not saying selfies are good or bad, but I am saying I'm a hypocrite. Good VS Bad: opinion. Hypocrite: fact. I guess in conclusion it's only natural to post some of these said selfies... So that's me, or at least pictures of me, and roughly what I look like (without the good lighting and angles). But I also look like this: I guess like in all things balance is key.

I recently read (online) that bangs shorten the appearance of a long face. I have a long face, not very, but I've always wanted a short, rounder face (think Mila Kunis). Honestly I've even considered surgery to shorten my jaw, but at the same time I feel like thats taking things to the extreme. Everyone wants what they can't have. I want something kinda messy, straight across with longer parts on the side. In other words; I WANT BRIGITTE BARDOT BANGS! I want them a little shorter, but you get the idea. My eyes are also my my best feature, and since I have dark/deep blue eyes and fire engine red hair, I'm thinking it might work. I also feel like this will make my lips look fuller, but it's probably because Brigette Bardot has a perfect mouth... A friend of mine took this of my eye a while back, she put it through an Instagram filter so it's a little darker than real life, but just to give you an idea of what my eye color is.
My brother recently turned 23. That fact is extremely uncomfortable for me, and in hopes of clinging on to the past as hard as I could (and to make a sweet collage for Facebook) I headed to the nearest and dearest item in my possession, of course, I'm talking about my baby book. I normally don't dive deep into my nostalgia, because I've left claw marks from being dragged up and down memory lane for as long as I can remember. I don't cope well with inevitable change... But I did find some cute pictures of me and my brother. Please note someone holding Pat back so he doesn't attack me like the savage beast he is I'm pretty sure the picture above and the one right below are from the same day as we are wearing the exact same clothes. I remember getting that stroller from my Norwegian Grandma and Grandpa for my birthday. And if that is correct, and the pictures are from my the same day, I'm betting I had a pretty cool birthday. Brownies and present days are often good days. Side note: Santa had me fucked up
I miss Thea. I really miss Thea. She's my older brothers girlfriend and she is studying at Berkeley for a semester, so it's not really someone you would expect me to miss, but I do. We have this weird kind of relationship where I used to hate her, like really DESPISE her, and one day I pretty much realized I had just been a stupid, jealous teenager and she was actually pretty cool. They've been together for about 7 or 8 years, and my brother has had a crush on her since the first day of middle school (,he actually came home and told my mom he had met the most beautiful girl in the world). The only reason I didn't post a picture of her and me together is that there really aren't any where we're sober (not totally shit faced in other words), or where we have makeup on, sometimes both. Just the kind of relationship we have, and I'm all about it. A few reasons why I love Thea: -She has delt with my shit for years -She's the good-cop to my brothers bad-cop (and I'm always the criminal) -She's always nice and caring -She's a goodie-two-shoes, up until alcohol is involved, then she morphs into this free spirit hippie -Whenever she's in her "hippie-state" (and I'm around) she always ends up telling my brother something along the line of "Katie is a free spirit, you can't control her, let her do what makes her happy" So in conclusion, I really like Thea, and I miss her. Love you like a sister in law! Patrick (my brother) and Thea canoeing in Utah
I am the messiest person I have ever met. I lose my keys, wallets, and headphones all the time. My dad hates it! He used to have a special spare key he'd give me whenever I'd lose my real ones, this was very handy until I lost the spare key too... Yep... On the bright side I recently found some keys I lost last spring (they were in a empty flowerpot?!?!!? WTF?!). So yeah, whenever you see a movie and they make a joke about someone putting a phone in the fridge, I would do that, actually... I have done that... and the dishwasher. I am everything you should strive to be as a person. About two days ago I had to order a new credit card and debit card from my bank. I'd obviously lost the previous ones, and two weeks without a debit card sucks (especially since Norwegian debit cards function as I.D.). I can't wait to get my cards as I need to get some stuff online and I can't put it on my Paypal as my old card is deactivated. But it's okay. I picked up a few things at the post office today since Urban Outfitters had a sale a couple weeks back. I've also had my eye on this really cool crystal that was for sale at an interior store right by Aker Bryggen for a while, and my dad was nice enough to get it for me. The lady who worked there said it was a type of quartz crystal Heres the stuff I picked up at the post office today Because nothing says "I am a responisble adult" like buying a flamingo pool floatie A tiny little christmas tree "The Watermelon Bowl" And last but not least, a snoopy mug
