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,

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

Jealous of the Animals

You ever wish you were a certain animal? Ever wish you could be any animal besides human? Animals have a lot of cool quirks about them and I will admit I get jealous on occasion. Here are some animal facts I found that explain reasons why I wouldn't mind magically changing to an animal:




There are only three animals with blue tongues: the black bear, the Chow Chow dog and the blue-tongued lizard.

-Having a blue tongue would be amazing.
Look at that lizard...he's totally rubbing it in my face. I just know it.





No two zebras have the same striped pattern.


-I tend to go out on a limb to try and be TOTALLY different and unique from any other being (though, in most cases I don't have to try to do that.) But to be a zebra I wouldn't have to try. :P





A beaver can hold it's breath for 45 minutes.

-I can't hold my breath for 1 minute; Beavers are awesome. The talking ones from Narnia are the best though.








An electric eel can produce a shock of up to 650 volts.


-I find it somewhat curious and unfair that all animals have some sort of self defense or "weapon" that they have on their body...and humans don't really at all. What's up with that?




I'm going to stop there, seeing as I'm in need of eating some dinner. PIZZA!

Goodnight,

Paige

First day of what I like to call "Sugar Fast"

I like things that are sweet; unfortunately, most sweet things I tend to eat are pretty much junk food. I am probably the second most unhealthy vegetarian alive.. I say second because I'm hoping that there is SOMEONE on this planet who is veg and less healthy than me. There's gotta be at least one other before me right?

ANYWAYS.
So... this is difficult. 36 days. I don't know why 36...I just liked the number.

My friend McKinley was eating a cookie during visual art class today and I wanted to ask for a piece sooo bad but I didn't..high five me! Seriously though, if only one day is torture...

what the hell will 36 days be??? I can't even fathom.

It's not THAT bad I'm just joking around but; I do like sugar. and sugar likes me too. So... we're just taking a break in the relationship for a little while you know?



Seeing other food groups; like I don't know...vegetables? Legumes? Nuts? Dairy?
It's only 36 days...how hard can it be?

I promise to discuss more interesting topics as I get used to this blog thing. I swear. Maybe tonight when I'm awake at three in the morning (Insomniac speaking) I will tell you about the series of twisted nightmares that I had last night during the half hour of sleep I accomplished. It was pretty bizarre...but probably would be neat to read about. Maybe. We'll see.

If there is anyone that is vegetarian and crappy at being one too, let me know...
It will be nice to form an alliance.

... and maybe for those of you that are the 'righteous' vegs, maybe offer me up some recipes that are quick and awesome?

Until..I feel like it,

Paige.

Cheez-its and Chocolate

I'm tired (again. This is not normal, trust me... it's my teachers' fault)

So, I will leave you with a "recipe" that I still have no recollection as to how I discovered it...


Cheez-its dipped in melted milk chocolate

It sounds unappetizing, repulsive in fact but trust me...

If you like Cheez-its



and if you like chocolate




You will like cheez-its and chocolate.

Melt milk chocolate chips in a pot heated on low until it gets all liquidy and 'fondue-ey' then take a cheez-it, dip it in the vat of sugary goodness, close your eyes and fearlessly pop the creative confection in your mouth.


If you don't like it then you are a picky eater and I'm sorry but your condition currently has no cure. If you know you are a finicky snacker before hand maybe have a glass of milk or juice handy just in case; But other than that, you'll just have to trust me.

Goodnight,

-Paige

Why my brain is exploding:

Or rather, why this blog exists and what it's really for...

-My thoughts are trafficking through my mind 24/7.

-I figure since I have a lot of thoughts, ideas, opinions, questions, etc. that it might be helpful to share them with the world via web.

-Even if no one ever reads this, I have a good enough imagination that I can easily pretend all of this babble matters.

-I am often told that I am so random, intricate, and confusing that I have my own planet; and though that phrase is common, I'm pretty sure they are dead serious in this case

- If people do actually read this blog in attempts to enter the wacky world of Kylie Paige, I would love to have feedback from those out there that may understand my mental workings...or don't understand at all and would like to.

-I want ideas to grow sky high instead of building up relentlessly inside of me


So here I am. Hello strangers.





I'm going to begin my blogging "adventures" tomorrow because I wasted a good portion of my young life in search of an eye catching layout for this blog page and I have been having technical issues. My eyes are burning and I'm quite honestly zonked. SO...
I bid the world farewell, even if it doesn't know I exist yet.

Goodnight
-Paige
