Tired.

I am quite exhausted lately, so much to do and so little time...

It took a few years to really understand what that meant.

now I know, and I wish I didn't.


So here's the scoop; I feel like this blog is..
Lacking something.
Which makes it difficult to want to post anything
In favor of what it is lacking...

which is people. Some body to read and respond...
because if I had readers, and feedback, I would know what to start talking about...
and I wouldn't be pulling things just out of thin air.

But I can't do that, because I have no response what so ever..
So what was the point of this?
I like to have goals, and do random things.. only problem?
I always want to expect great astounding things to arise from these goals

when most of the time I have to except that it just won't be the case.
you know?
I certainly have figured this out;
even though I didn't want to.

now I know, and I wish I didn't.

Until I feel like it,

Paige

You are all my slaves.

Not really, I just wanted to confuse/startle/piss you off a little.

I honestly, can not think at all. I have a myriad of things in my head but none of which would make any sense to share on here... one of those days when Paige world is a little bit to hectic even for Paige.

So, I leave you with this:

 

Try to look at it WITHOUT it appearing to move; that's the hard part. Usually, it takes a moment for the eye to be tricked and the image to appear like it's moving right?! This messes me up so bad. don't stare too long...
You'll get a headache. Goodnight.

Until I feel like it,
Paige

Why I'm thankful to have been born in the 90's

Seriously people?! I was looking through this book in visual art class today, and it showed the "transformation" of fashion over the decades... My goodness am I glad I'm from the 90's and live in the 2-10's now.. Oh My Gooodness!!!!


An Example of the 60's:

An Example of the 70's:

 
(yikes.)
An Example of the 80's:

(Her hair is eating her head!!!!)

An Example of the 90's:

 

You have to admit, they cleaned it all up a bit by the 90's.... and now, we have 'pizzazz':

 
Or... electronic gadgets that make us all anti-social. XD
Oh well. I'm happy that way for now....
good night,

Paige.

What's the difference: Llama and Alpaca?!?

Wondering how this subject came about? I was at a park with my family and there were trimmed bushes shaped like animals; but there was this one animal that was a mystery to me. I asked my mother to read the label that was placed near the shrub-mutt and my mother said it didn't say what the animal was, just the type of plant...she called in an alpaca. Then I said it couldn't be an alpaca if anything it was a llama..thing is, I didn't really know the difference I just like to argue. SO...

This is an alpaca:

This is a Llama:


___________________________________________________________________________________


Other than the fact that the alpaca might need to go on a diet... they are pretty much the same thing right?! SO...I looked up the difference via dictionary.com:

1. Llama: a woolly-haired South American ruminant of the genus Lama, believed to be a domesticated variety of the guanaco: often used as a beast of burden.


1. Alpaca: a domesticated South American hoofed mammal, Lama pacos, having long, soft, silky fleece, related to the llama and believed to be a variety of the guanaco.


Aha! So in a sense I was right; alpaca is just the fat lazy cousin of the llama.

Well, my mind is certainly settled about that... though the mystery shrub animal still doesn't hold much of an impression seeing as I couldn't tell what it really was; oh well. Maybe someday I will know, or I will forget to care.

Goodnight,

Paige.

Happy Heart Day!




My little sister and her friend are rocking out to a Taylor Swift song, singing at the top of their lungs...priceless.

My heart has learned that being single is really what is best for me until further notice, and instead of fighting it I feel content with it..also priceless.

My mom made our family polish pancakes with strawberries which is my personal favorite, and their were no dishes for me to clean up because she used disposable dishware this time...more priceless than you know.

Today is a good day. I hope you find someone to love, and if you are "single" please note that you have so many other ways to love... love a friend, family, a pet, even a stranger... just embrace the warmth of kindness today and you'll be complete.


Happy Heart Day everyone.

Love,

Paige

Hippopatamoose.



I thought it had the qualities of a moose...

Bronte M. Said it was a hippo...

We came to an agreement.

When I'm bored to tears and don't feel like sketching on actual paper, I turn to my good ol' friend the archaic paint program. It's not good for much else other than fun, which is what I use it for.

Until I feel like it,

Paige.



What sound do you think he'd make?

Impatient Valentiner's

$1 Candy Grams, Secret admirer love letters written on notebook paper all torn and wrinkled; balloons, chocolate, hugs... Teachers running around with heart stickers tagged on their backs. School valentine festivities; I will and won't miss them I am assured.

Every Valentine and Christmas that comes around, I carry the personal tradition of picking one deserving friend (amongst many wonderful friends so it's a difficult choice...) to give a creative little gift of gratitude. Alyssa E, looked like she was about to burst in tears of joy and surprise when I gave her my little candy 'plant' and it made my morning. Seriously, for those of you that don't know; gifts that are simple and thoughtful are so much better. They know you love them enough to put time into thinking of them, there aren't any awkward, fake, "thank you's" and you feel good giving it to them especially when they are beaming with joy.

Anyway, enough with my life lesson blah...
I took a picture of the gift because I wanted to share it with everyone! Ha, cute way of abusing the phrase "It's the thought that counts" which happens a lot...



Cute yes? Took a flower pot, set in tissue paper... filled the pot with dark chocolate dove heart chocolates, set in some lollipop "flowers" and put fake leaves in to finish. I'm such a dork...but I'm okay with that.

Buenes Noches,

Paige
