Stars at her heels

So this is what I'm walking around in these days.

 I've had these shoes for five and a half years, and the soles were coming off at the toes. They're really great shoes. I didn't want to part with them. They had yellow curb paint flecks on them (thanks to a community service project on a windy day) that reminded me of stars in a dark sky. So I duct taped them back together. Then they looked trashy, so I painted them. I started with the stars, in honor of the curb. Acrylic. The rest was just whatever came to mind. Left heel's still my favorite. Replaced the laces. The left one won't stay tied. They're conversation starters. Strangers comment on them. I feel like an artist when I wear them.

Probably because I am.

A... GIVEAWAY?! (not exactly)

Well, the first day of fall came and went and I didn't blog about it because I've been so stinkin' busy. 
But there's been a real effect on the weather. It's been breezy and kind of cooler and it gets dark earlier and I've really liked being outside.

I got some sweet new shoes thanks to a sale:

and I've gotta find something to make out of the old ones:

I've had them for several years and they're now uncomfortable to wear cuz they poke me and I don't want to just plant plants in them but I'd hate to throw them out. Any ideas? Leave a comment!

I've been watching Skip Beat whenever possible (and I love it) but the manga is better.

It's so corny and ridiculous and typical but at the same time it's original and hilarious and keheheheheh.

I actually learned more about acting from reading Skip Beat than I did from my homeschool co-op theater class...

By the way, speaking of the converse, I got a coupon with the new ones for free shipping on the kind that you design yourself on the website, but there's no way they're tricking me into buying another pair of shoes. So if there's anyone out there in the wide, wide world who was ALREADY planning to get design-your-own converse, leave me a comment with a way to contact you or something, and I'll gladly give you the coupon code. c: FIRST COME FIRST SERVED HEHE
