I waited for your letter
City With No Children- Arcade Fire
oh dear, I haven't made a set in so long, sorry everyone! I hope you're all having a lovely night :)
enjoy :)
 
Well, I made this with the Ferris Beuller contest in mind, so now that the information is out, here it goes
 
If I had a day off, I'd want to just wander around town, spend a ton of time in the record store and just enjoy myself. I'd go with all my friends, and we'd have an amazing time just dressing up and going to different shops, just enjoying ourselves. It would be so nice, just taking a break from everything for a day, not worrying about anything and just having a wonderful time. It would be so lovely if every day was like that.

national park contest

national park contest
(sorry about this set..I was feeling really uninspired so I just threw it together..)
Park: Cuyahoga Valley National Park
 
Story: After taking a roadtrip to the park, we arrived. The trees were so beautiful, a deep forest of green hues all around us. We decided to hike on the trails first, taking pictures and exploring around us. Next we walked to the waterfall and just sat there listening to the sound of the flowing water, taking in the peace of nature.
 
Playlist:
white winter hymnal- Fleet Foxes
heartlines- Florence + the Machine
he doesn't know why- Fleet Foxes
 
(sorry everything was so rushed, I've just been busy, hope you enjoy)

forever is a long long time
Phoenix- Lasso
Hope everyone's having a lovely April fools day :)
enjoy :)
I was tagged by the flawless @quietcountrymouse :)
1.) Describe yourself in four words.
Oh dear...quiet, procrastinator, creative, me (I had a brain malfunction and couldnt think of anything)
2.) What did you want to be when you were a kid?
Oh gosh, I think I went through that teacher phase and the vet phase that a lot of kids went through..at some point I wanted to be a fashion designer or a writer
3.) Did you get pranked/fooled this April Fools?
I did not (considering that I was home all day due to spring break) unless you count tumblr
4.) Are you an optomist, pessimist, or realist?
It honestly depends...I really try to be positive, but I've always been pessimistic, and I am a realist too, I think in different situations I have a different outlook.
5.) Are you a science/math person or an english person?
I really love to write, but I hate the class, so a mix of both I suppose
6.) Favorite type of plant?
I love roses, and I think white birch trees are pretty and of course pine trees
7.) What would your patronus be?
Hmm..I don't know
8.) If you were ever chosen for the Hunger Games, would you survive and if so, how?
I may survive by running and hiding, but I don't know if I'd last for long
9.) Any suggestions for music? :)
I would suggest my all time favorite song-Time to Kill by Gold & Youth asdfgdsd I love it so much. I also really like the band Telekinesis (those are just random ones aside from bands that most people probably already know I like, like the Killers and Arctic Monkeys)
10.) What's one skill you wish you had?
I wish I was friendlier. I really respect people who can be nice to everyone and start good conversations, but I guess I just need to work on that haha
 
I was tagged by the gorgeous @almost-infinite
1. Lipstick, chap-stick, or lip gloss?
Probably chap stick, I don't really wear makeup, but I do think lipstick/gloss looks good on others, but chap stick=life for me haha
2. Favorite genre of music?
Indie Rock
3. Dream Job?
I would love to be a designer and make art prints, typography, posters etc.
4. Which song is the soundtrack of your life?
I don't really have one, but Time to Kill by God & Youth is always playing in the background :)
5. What character would you love to play in a movie?
Hmm I'd have to think about that one
6. Favorite number?
14 (haha)
7. Rain or Shine?
It depends, they're both gorgeous :)
8. Favorite vacation spot?
I'd have to say the beach, since it's really the only place I vacation.
9. Flats or Heels?
Flats. It's pretty rough when I try to walk in heels :)
10. Truth or Dare?
Truth probably
11. Celebrity Crush?
I could ramble on and give a really long list of perfect incredibly attractive people, but I'll just say Alex Turner
 
Another tag from @almost-infinite
1} Who is your favourite celebrity? You should show us a picture of them in all their glory in a set
I don't know if runners count for this (haha) because Chris Derrick is basically my favorite person ever. Alex Turner's in quite a few of my sets, so let's just go with him for now as well
2} What is your favourite fandom?
I love the wtm fandom
3} Do you have a favourite colour or many? You should add a lot of your favourite colours in the set, because you know, they're your favourite colour (s)
Grey, burgundy, dark green, baby blue
4} Do you enjoy food and if so (don't lie to me, everyone loves food and if they don't they're either lying, or they really don't like food) you should show us that food.
YESSS I ENJOY FOOD. I like lots of different foods, none are in this set though, sorry haha
5} Music. Who is your favourite singer/band and what is a good music line you think of?
I hate choosing, but I'll go with Walk the Moon, just because I've seen them live and they're amazing and I just love them. Hmm..too many
6} Do you have a fictional character you keep close to your heart?
MAX VANDENBURG ( from The Book Thief) will always have a spot in my heart, also Rudy from the same book
