Initials in the sidewalk

Hi! My name is Shannon Kathleen. I'm a lover of all things vintage and geeky. Please, take a look around!

I put up my Christmas lights in my room! I could hide in here forever. :3

I’m in such a Halloween/autumn mood tonight. I’m listening to Halloween Pandora, drinking apple cider, and trying to decide how to Halloween-up my room. Hmmm…..

Hot apple cider and indie music. Perfect way to spend the night on a horrid day. I’m just going to pretend it’s fall and that it is raining outside. Fall can’t come fast enough.

Ugh, School later today.

I should probably go to bed right now, but I really don’t want to. Maybe in a half hour. In like five hours I have to get up and get ready for sophomore year. Yay. So not excited. 

I just read a few comments on that post I reblogged about the girl punching the guy in the face and I have to say, I hope that things get better. I’m so sick of rape jokes. They’re not funny. They’re insensitive. You never know if the person you’re telling that rape joke to has been raped or not. And saying that these people are ‘tired of feminist’s violence trying to solve things’ is ridiculous. Yes, I am a feminist, but if I heard a girl saying that she was going to rape a guy because he’s drunk, I’d punch her in the face, too. I really would, without a second though. I don’t give a rat’s ass about gender with this shit. Rape is rape. IT HAPPENS TO BOTH GENDERS. This shit is getting ridiculous. Some people need a good punch in the face to realize what they’re saying. Yes, it is a bully’s action, but sometimes the passive aggressiveness isn’t enough.  

Sorry, rant over. 

I really want to open a speakeasy type bar.

I get the funniest looks when I say this when the high school asks, “What do you want to be when you grow up?”. I don’t really mind. Someone has to do it. Not everyone can be a doctor or a lawyer. I don’t want it to be too historically accurate, something kind of burlesque-y. But to me, this sounds really impossible. I don’t know how to get there. 

I’m watching Grease!

My neck is killing me! And no one will give me a massage! D: They want me to suuufffeeeerrrr! Thanks a lot, all of you people in my house. I’m bored out of my mind, too. Anyone want to entertain me?

Day 25 - Someone who fascinates you and why.

My friends fascinate me. I’m like them in many ways, but there’s more differences! Like one of my best friends has a new boy-toy every time I see her, and she dates them after only knowing them a few days! I haven’t even gone out with my crushes, I couldn’t imagine that! Or there’s my other best friend who’s soo different from me we both wonder how we’ve managed to stick around. But, as we’ve found, we can’t stay apart if we tried. She’s just so extremely different, I always wonder how she manages to deal with things and what it’s like in her world.

I don’t really have a celebrity who fascinates me. I figure their lives are too much for me to fathom, haha. XD 

Day 24 - Your favorite movie and what it’s about.

I have quite a few favorites. Every thing is so amazing, it’s hard to pick one of anything!

First, I love Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. If you don’t know this is and what it’s about, why are you on my blog? I mean, my blog is vintage and pin ups after all. >.<

I love almost all superhero movies. X3

10 Things I Hate About You- It’s a 90’s version of The Taming of the Shrew. And of course it’s got Heath Ledger in it. And some great one liners.

There’s a lot lot lot more, but I’m sure none of you actually care about the rest, haha.

I don’t know what’s wrong with me right now. Warning, rant.

My day has been a series of awkward encounters. First I was at Barnes and Nobles, when this guy comes up to me and asks if I knew where a book was. (He was only a few years older than me, but he seemes pretty clueless.) I pointed it out for him, but he told me, “Oh, that’s not the series I was looking for.” It was a book geared more for girls, so I’m assuming he was buying a book for his girlfriend..? He seemed really jumpy though. Like he had had one energy drink too many. Then, when my step sis and step dad were at Taco Bell, this couple walks in, the guy screams “Well, if you don’t want to eat it, DON’T!” Then storms out just as fast as they came in. She follows the guy outside yelling “Fuck you!” over and over. The whole thing lasted maybe thirty seconds, leaving us to wonder what the hell just happened. I think they were begging. (90% of the beggers here are drug addicts. There’s not a lot of actual homeless people who need money, so you know which ones are.)

Now, when I read people’s statuses on Facebook, every last one of them is pissing me off, and I don’t quite know why.

My laptop warns me to 'plug in or find another power source', so I make a mad dash for my room:

Me (running down the hallway):Ohno,ohno,ohno,ohno!!!
Mom:Why do you always wait until it's about to die?
Me:I like to live life on the edge.

I love watching the older Disney movies with all the random pencil sketch marks.

Like right now i’m watching the Aristocats and even when the characters aren’t quite moving, they are. :D
