I could never be your woman.

I was in Chicago for the weekend! Let me tell you, I may be 15, but $140 is not enough for shopping in Chicago at all. I didn't even go anywhere designer. Do I look like I can afford anything designer? No. I can afford Elle magazines in the mail every month where i flip through the pages dreaming one day I will be able to afford designer. Ha. I was so excited to actually have more than a hundred dollars in my wallet, but the first night we go to Michigan Ave, where I head into Top Shop and I want to cry. I felt so poor. You know what I need? A job. This weekly allowance is not enough to pay my bills! Well, not my bills. My shopping habit. Stealing is not really something I want to pick up, either. Even the stores that they have where I live, don't carry the same things in Chicago. This is the first time I've been to Chicago and could actually appreciate what was going on and where I was. I think i went when I was 7.
I'm so excited to get started on painting, because we went to the Shedd Aquarium and I took pictures of Jellies that I want to paint!
Aren't they, like, super cute?
I just love Jellies so much! My favorite part is calling them "Jellies" and not "Jellyfish". I took this from my iPhone, which did a waaayyyy better job than my camera. That makes me a little sad inside.
One part that I dislike about Chicago is that I get so tired walking everywhere, yet I can't call my mom to just tell her to pick me up really quick. No. Bitches don't drive in Chicago. That doesn't change the fact that I'm still too lazy to walk any further, though.
I don't think I appreciate art as much as some people do. If I think it's ugly and boring, I can't stare at it and be like "WOW. Look at dem brush strokes. Oh gosh. Ooooh gosh." It won't take me long to go through an art museum because I don't need to look at one painting for ten minutes. I do, though, enjoy modern art. It catches my interest a lot more. I, myself, enjoy drawing and painting, but I prefer to look at people's sculptures. Those are so much more interesting to me. But If I had to choose something to look at for hours, it would be nature. I like looking at the ocean, and the sky, and animals. Animals are just so cute and do the darndest things! My computer shows that "darndest" isn't a word but I swear I've heard people use it before.
