cupcakes Blog and Journals

I had a dream where I was smoking a huge cigar.
I felt like a huge badass.
I do not smoke, for the record.
Everyone thinks I do.

O hai, I haven't posted anything in forever.
Over this last month, its been that instance that many things have happened, but not the kind I would publically post on here.
Drama, medical woes, extreme stress etc. So I will try to skip around all that.

Last night I slept over at Afton's. I went to bed at the same time I usually do over break, and woke up at the same time I would usually, too.. so I'm not sure why I'm so tired.
Its actually the very last day of break, so its kind of ironic that I'm writing this now.
I really do not feel like going back tomorrow and dealing with all the stress.
Soo, on with the updates

Break has been fun, and pretty busy, which is good.
Christmas Eve was more fun than usual because I spent time helping wrap presents in our newly redecorated room. Its red! It makes me happy to just be in there. I also made Christmas cupcakes, which I was pretty excited about:

Devil's food cake with vanilla icing and crushed candy canes on top. Mmmm. We ate all of them but 4. I was still bummed to have to throw those 4 out after a week.

Christmas was good aswell. I got 2 awesome pairs of shoes [the ones I posted in my last journal!], a huge ring, some feather earrings, a scarf, 4 CDs, a Marilyn Monroe belt buckle, and plentyy of money and giftcards to spend. :D
I've already gotten Lady Gaga's new CD, Say Anything's new CD, a red beret, and some new clothes. Next I really want some Lady Gaga sunglasses. I have been obsessed with the Gaga CD.

A few days after Christmas we went up to New York state to visit the rest of my family.. like Lauren!
That proved to be an eventful visit..
One of those instances where I don't think I should post everything that happened..

New Years was pretty lonely.. I went to Target for the VERY first time on New Years Eve, though. People always think I'm crazy when I say that. It was pretty cool. That was where I got my red beret. Alex and I saw earphones that were rasta colors and underneath it said "Smokin' Buds." I found that quite entertaining.
New Years day I was sparkly. <3 Sparkly eyeshadow with a grey tiger stripe dress, dark purple leggings, and vintage sequin jacket. I changed into something more warm that night when I went to First Friday with Alex and his friends.

As you can tell I did another shoot since my last journal. I'm not sure how much I like it just yet. I really wanted to do the Billie Joe Armstrong themed one, but it was raining again. I will have to wait until it gets warm again to do that one unfortunately. :[

I got my hair cut the day after that. Its reddish brown with blonde underneath, and I have almost straight across bangs now!
My mom approved.. which was a miracle.

I tried Dance Theater, like I said I would. Learned the dance and practiced it for like 3 days straight. Apparently that wasn't enough for them to let me in it.. I'm not a "technical dancer," and never have been. I was told that if you tried and were serious, they would basically take you. I did that. I guess they're becoming more competitive. I mean, they took Alex a few years ago.. Oh well. My parents are getting me dance lessons.

Okay, I went kind of in retrospective there.. now I'll go to the future..
Is it me or are the days after Christmas until, like, mid-February the most depressing part of the year?
January in its entirety is the most depressing month.
Its after Christmas, its cold, nothing is really happening.. and I know, personally, that I look back on the past year and think about everything that happened.
I should not do that.. I would like to avoid doing that. Count it as one of my resolutions.
I haven't thought about resolutions too much, because they are never really kept up with, admit it..
So, simply, I just want to keep up with all the art things I want to do, and be more outgoing and a better friend and generally a better person to be around.

Just as a note!: I have a formspring account: formspring.me/lvcylobotomy. Ask me anythinggg! I don't care who you are. :P And its anonymous. So do it!

I have been obsessed with pokemonbattlearena.net for the last few weeks. Playing it nx. I am such a nerd. It was up when I was in like 6th grade and I played it alllll that summer, and was super bummed when they took it down, but its back up again. <3

Sunglasses I plan to get! Psyched.
I do love her lately. You love her or you hate her, it seems

Next journal I do, I will probably talk about things that piss me off. Because things have been pissing me off lately. Get excited for it.

so, throughout this weekend, I've learned three things, Hanna Beth is my idol, cupcakes are the most amazing invention in the world, and my cousin has to be my bestfriend. so, two days after christmas and I'm completly infatuated by the fact I got a laptop for christmas! it's pretty exciting, and from my dad i got DJ Hero, which is totally badass if you ask me.

Hey everybody! I know you all lost interest in my page. I promise to be around a lot more. I moved into my loft in downtown LA. I have been in Philly though for the past 3 weeks visiting my Dads side of the family and My fiance Naija Blue's family too. Have been working on my website and plan on having it launch this New Year!  FINALLY! 

I Made a cupcake beret last night and I plan on making a lot more hats 

I got engaged too! To my sweetie Naija Blue

We just had our 6 year anniversary this month, ts been a crazy wonderful couple of years!

I have also been busy with getting my music together, i don't work as fast as other when it comes to my art. i like to take it slow and make sure its really good and memorable instead of something that will be popular for a month and forgotten. Don't get me wrong I like popular music and commercialized stuff. i think Madonna and Lady Gaga are great! BUt i want to be more than just a colorful act. I want my music to speak to the souls and the hearts of my fans. I want my music to make people feel more than just "I wanna dance", and that takes experience and talent. Not just looks, money and who you know. The music industry is tough but I know I will be successful!

So the other things I have been up to include making clothing. I ordered a bunch of leather for the 80s heavy metal inspired accessory line. Like belts, suspenders, Hair accessories, shoes accessories ect.  I will have a lot of items for sale in the next few weeks.

Also been designing latex outfits. Cute little dresses, skirts, shirts and lingerie. I am making latex that can be worn out to a party or for models who don't want to show off there assets too much but still want to look sexy. Lots or feminine colors and cute patterns. If you love latex you'll love what I have in store!

I am excited for this year. It will be the best year yet! I feel productive, Inspired, creative, motivated, and focused. Lets not forget loved. Without the love and support of everyone I don't find any reason to do any of these things. I love making people happy. i love making stuff for people and seeing them smile cause they love the way they look in what I made for them. 

Heres a pic of me from the other day

I am in Naija's little sisters room. She is turning 19 in 4 days. I watched her grow up. She is pretty much my little sister as well :) I love her to death!

Here's her facebook:

I have taken a long needed break from the spotlight (Internet). i have been sick a lot and I'm going to be real with you all. I don't think anyone should lie about themselves. Life is hard and things happen that no one can expect and sometimes plans change. I always like to be real with everyone. I focused on modeling for a while and did well, i decided to take a break form that to figure out what if is that I really want. I moved to Los Angeles to be a singer/songwriter. I lost track of that dream because of money life. You know bills and relationships. Even popularity got in the way. I love to have my picture taken but it wasn't what I wanted to do for a living. 

So for now thats all i have time to say. Ill keep on this more often  now

Happy Holidays

Happy Thanksgiving dears!

Now is the time to unbutton&unzip your jeans, stuff your mouth
and slip into a turkey-induced coma for the next few days!

That sounds so good right now. I'm celebrating my Thanksgiving at my
apartment, alone. My boy has gone off to celebrate with his family
and I'm stuck here with no family to turn to! I need to take a quick
trip back to Arkansas&Texas to visit my favorite people. [i miss you!].  

I was scouring this cute website [www.fredflare.com] the other day and came across the
CUTEST little trinkets that I WANT!

         black&white tea cup      /      cupcake floss       /         frozen hot chocolate

  heart shaped egg molder    /        "love" on toast!

I mean, cupcake floss?! What's better than having clean teeth AND cupcake breath? :D
Frozen hot chocolate is just.. genius, I must say.

Little Debbie Cakes- On October 18th 1,000,000 Cupcakes (coupon for a free box). Enter now. http://freakyfreddies.com

will someone explain to me what the big deal is about cupcakes?

everyone is like "omg letz go eat a cupcake!"... "i'm getting a cupcake tattoo!".. "look at my cupcake shirt!"

i used to think they were cute. now the whole community of buzznet has ruined them.

this must be why they call me ranting raven.

This week (Sept. 21-27) is Cupcakes for a Cause Week, which is a nationwide fundraiser for kids that have cancer. As we all probably know of now - cancer sucks. So this is a good way to help little kiddies that have cancer and eat a yummy cupcake with a legit reason for doing so. There are over 300 bakeries nationwide helping out with this fundraiser (to find a bakery near you, check out the LIST.) Unfortunately, here in Indiana, some of us don't have a participating bakery near by. But don't go getting your cupcake in a twirl, you can send an e-cupcake and for every e-cupcake sent a $1 is donated to the fundraiser. To help myself get into the spirit, I'm going to be making a batch of cupcakes for Courtney for her Birthday. Of course that was already planned, but now I have a cool little reason to do it also.

I made cupcakes the other day. I have a total of 36..except I think I might have eaten about 4 or 5 of them...

Here's some pictures:

I'm being really lazy today. I think everyone I know is out doing something, but I'm at home. I have no idea if I'll go out and do something later.

Its been somewhat of a long time since I've written a journal. A lot has been going on, so I must rack my memory to make sure I get everything on here..

My grandma from New York came to visit a few weeks ago. I love her but all she talks about is bargains on clothing and healthy food..
Alex, Lauren, and I took her to this crepe place in the city called Rachel's. Its basically my favorite restaurant.

I also got my hair done that week. I really wanted to dye it dark brown with blonde underneath, like I did last time in April. However, multiple people were pushing me to get it dyed strawberry blonde, so I went with it.. My hair dresser told me that my hair would look bad if it were bleached and then dyed strawberry blonde, so I had to settle for highlights. I do not like it. But I have to stick with it until November. When November comes, I do not care what anyone says, I am dying it dark brown and blonde again.
Thanks to those wonderful people who are telling me that they like my hair now anyway. ;|

The day after my parents, grandma, and I went to New Jersey to visit family. Usually its a boring trip but I enjoyed myself this time. Reason being my great aunt actually has bins and bins of extra fabric in her house and she let me have as much of it as I wanted. I was actually able to get the black fur trim that I need for my jacket. :]
My mom, my great aunt, my grandma, and I also visited my great aunt's friend while we were there. She was one of those people who was so friendly and outgoing and straight out that it makes you nervous.. Atleast it makes me nervous haha. She had all these huge elaborate dollhouses in her living room. She gets all these artists and people to help her make things for them. It was actually really interesting. I actually got an old antique nightgown from her that she was going to cut up and use, but decided not to since it has such nice embroidery on it. It is light purple with white lace and is slightly faded. I have yet to decide how I'm going to fix it up so I can wear it.

The next Tuesday was a good day aswell, I will say that.
Mainly because I got myself a boy. :]

Last Thursday Ashey came over and we made cupcakes.. Or, she made cupcakes and I watched.. They came out slightly burnt but they had chocolate icing on them which I think makes it better.
I say "had" because as I discovered when I went into the kitchen this morning, my mom threw them all out. :[
I also taught Ashley how to deconstruct shirts and make hair bows. She's made more bows then I have now haha.
She slept over and the next morning we walked down to Rita's and bought a misto to share. I ended up drinking most of it.

Then on Saturday we took Alex back to school in Philly. He actually has a pretty nice house for Philly.. I'm allowed to spend nights there when I want to go to concerts there.
I'm going to miss him, but I do enjoy being an only child when he's gone.

On Sunday I went with Paul to Field of Screams.. which is like the local Halloween-haunted-house-park type thing haha. Its not open yet but there was a picnic there for people who want to work there this season. I'm not allowed to work there, but I still went haha. It was still fun to go with him. :]

School started for me on Monday. I'm not sure if its going to be a good semester yet or not. I'm already sick; I stayed home yesterday on only the 4th day of school. I woke up at 5:30 and felt really shitty so I went back to bed. I woke up again at 10:30 and felt a lot better after I had some chicken noodle soup. But then later in the afternoon I started feeling bad again, then it got better in the evening.. I feel alright now. I wish my body would stop being bipolar. :[
There's a football game tonight. I'm not going. I never go to football games. Atleast not for my own school.. I always end up going to other school's games though, haha. Not sure why that is.

Its a 4 day weekend and I'm not sure of my plans yet hmmm..

oh hai this is my favorite band.
Just found out yesterday that they're coming to my town on October 20th.
Even though its on a school night I'm going to do all I can to go see them.
