Fluorescent, neon glow-like opera. Wait, what?

I have a new type writer. Well, it's old. It was my sister's.
Very 90's. But I love it.
There's nothing more whimsical than a type writer. It's nostalgic, yet fashionable.
And very useful for the art projects I'm doing. I spent the whole afternoon getting used to it and wrote a little.

I found this the other day in a notebook and I typed it with it.

Ice cream...She just ran after and across the bridge getting soaked of operas and overtures. Photographs and boxes were hanging from the windows, slowly dangling to & fro -
French opera rang through the spaceless universe, high-pitched, black, splattered everywhere. Then everything became fluorescent neon glow-like.

Very, very weird. The thing is, I don't actually remember if I wrote it or I found it somewhere.
I think I did, because it's something I would write, and there are several words I like there, like operas, overtures, and neon.
Goodness, isn't it queer?

I've had a busy week, I'll write about what I've been doing later!
We've been having high school queen elections events and it's had us quite busy, but it's been a lot of fun.
Also, I've been able to catch up with some art.

I have a few things to write here, really, but I have lacked inspiration, I just have random scribbles in a notebook.
I think this Blog's been changing a little even when it's like a month old!
I'm trying to figure out the direction I want to take, but I guess life itself will guide me.

Oh and since it's Wednesday night...
  • I love Jackie Onassis (Jackie Kennedy). I've always loved her style, but today I watched a movie about her, and I'm head over heels! Not just for her classy and proper style, but for who she was. So whole and strong in every minute and aspect of her life. Well-mannered, and noble. I'm going to do some research on her...do I hear "role model"?
  • Wreck this journal.
    I found about this a few minutes ago and I fell in love!
    There's a big movement in Flickr, and it's all very inspiring.
    This is the "official" site, and while the link will not direct you to their home, you have to read that introduction!
    I've got plans for my moleskine.....
  • Expose yourself!
    This Wreck this journal, and the note. I loved what the user wrote about when you're an artist you peel your skin off completely. It's true. Most of the time, I feel reluctant of showing any of my artwork because I feel so utterly exposed. It's like standing naked in front of a crowd, while they peel your skin off and ask un-answerable questions.
    That happened to me today. A guy in my class grabbed my sketchbook, and when he saw my face he said: "Hey, if you're going to be an artist you have to be used to people watching and judging your art."
    He's right.

I believe...







"I believe in pink. I believe that laughter is the best calorie burner.
I believe in kissing, kissing a lot. I believe in being strong
when everything else seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls
are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another
day and I believe in miracles."

-Audrey Hepburn.

Hello, who's there?

Goodness!
Welcome to the capricious tales of M.B. Whimsical.
Tales about anything and everything as she travels through the nonsensical and unpredictable notions of life.
But who is M.B. Whimsical?

She is just an 18 year old girl, who's about to graduate from high school and is leaving home to pursue a career in visual arts. Since she was little she's loved stories, words, pictures, colors, unusual things and any form of expression. Being of such a curious and stubborn manner she's always had kind of a knack to find the extra in the ordinary things, and that's why she's fascinated with the most mundane stuff. (She's quite a hopeless romantic)
She also believes nothing in this world is ordinary.

In the future M.B., dreams of working in an important fashion magazine like Vogue, or Elle, as editor-in-chief or as creative director. She also dreams of creating a fashion line inspired in surreal and childish stories; writing and directing a movie; work for an advertising agency; being a photographer for the fore-mentioned magazine; paint as much as her hand can take and travel the world.

She believes that 2008 is going to be one of the best years ever because she is now aware of how much power she has to make things true and she has begun her journey on achieveing all these things. Also, one of her goals right now is to be a very happy person and being positive even when everything's going wrong.

At the moment she is trying to keep her grades up, focused on school's student council and on working on her little portfolio for college. She's trying to enjoy these last months home and make as many good memories as she can before she sets off for college.

M.B. Whimsical enjoys sunsets, art, The Beatles, fashion magazines, books, her ipod, iced tea, history, roadtrips, movies such as marie-antoinette and breakfast at tiffany's (don't forget about pride and prejudice), the word autumn, waking up early on Saturdays, midnight calls, yoga, rain and brand new black pens.

Oh and M.B. loves her big sis, her family and her friends.
