Starting Again.

Okay, it is SO SO SO time for some major spring cleaning; lifestyle edition! I am so fustrated with the lack of muse and lack of hope in my life right now that I feel like I need a new start (to a certain degree)! So as far as my Blog-baby goes, I shall be changing a couple things around and working on some new entries here and there. I shall be back to posting eventually, for I am quitting my muse killing job and working on a lot of college stuffles (which are somewhat inspiring I think). That is all I have for today, ado!

Bifday and a New Feature!

I don't want to linger too long on the subject of my birthday so I shall sum it up!

The Good Part 1: I got A LOT of polymer clay stuff in the mail from my grandmother. She almost made me cry which was nice because I have been frustrated with family problems lately (mostly around my spoiled cousins). But anyway, she was FANTASTIC! See, See! I AM her favorite! I also got a wonderful box of chocolates, and when I say wonderful, I mean it had my FAVORITE chocolates in it. Aside from the coconut one. I also got a big Hershy kiss and bracelet (which were for Valentine's Day, but whatever. X3)

The Good Part 2: Didn't have to work because my mom called in and said I had a migraine. I went to a chinese bistro for dinner and got tickets to see Lord of the Dance. I also got a flower arragement from my aunt that was in the shape of a birthday cake. It was wonderful. We also watched hook and had Key Lime Cake.

The Bad: I might get in trouble because the phone (we called on a cell phone) was still on and they could have heard my mom and I talking (loudly) and my estatic Yay. If I get in trouble for this I am going to cry... Even though I did actually have a headache and still did even after dinner. Especially since when I got my cake, my grandmother seemed miffed at me. Come to find out she was mad at me for not calling my aunt about the beautiful flower arragement, when I told her myself that I had sent her a text about it. WTF? Thats like saying I lied. Ontop of that I had to deal with evil people at school...

IN OTHER NEWS! I have a new feature coming your way called "Inspired." It is about things that inspire me that I have found in my cyber or other travels. I will provide a collage of pictures from the subject, my thoughts, and an Etsy based collage of sorts, as well as a question or two for you my Lovely Readers! <3 (Oh and just so you know, that feature is why I have not written much of anything. xD)

That is all I have for you today, ado!

P.S. And I almost forgot, I might be spamming your notices soon (being some point in the next few weeks) with double posts if I can, Sorry! I have a  lot of new things to show off! <3

Chinese New Year

Chinese New Year has always been a sort of wonder for me. The abundance of reds, golds, whites, creams, and other warm colors, the beautiful envelopes, and of coarse the dragons! This year is the Year of the Rabbit which starts on February 3rd, and I want to start looking at how I can adapt some of this holiday into my life in the near or far future even though I am not of Asian decent. (Mostly because there are no festivals around me for this holiday...)

I, like I said, love the Chinese New Year Dragon costumes. They are so awe inspiring, that I can't imagine a new years celebration without it. So, for the celebration, I would have a dragon themed project. A mask or a puppet, or even jewelry would be perfect for my own little celebration.

I could also send my friends handmade red envelopes with a little goody inside to spread the excitement. I love the red envelopes and such that are created for the celebration as well. Then maybe go out to some place that serves awesome Chinese Food. Yum Yum! :D

I find that events and celebrations should not be limited to just the people that the holiday belongs to, but to everyone who wants to be a part of it. Now oogle at y favorite chinese food and I bid you Ado!

P.S. Oh and here are some of my dragons that my Grandfather brought back from China for me when I was little. As well as my origami crane that my best friend made me a couple summers ago.

A Little Bit

Welcome to my second ever Blog! My first one failed badly, due to me putting a subject on it. Soooooooo...this one obviously will not have an objective! Yayright?! I hope you like what you see!

So a little bit about me, My name is Shelby Nicolae Demona and yes that is my name. My favorite alternate names are "Shelbs," "Shelbymonster," and "Shelbyvonne." (I may, or may not, have made those up for fun hinthint) I don't mind nor care if you just call me Shelby or one of those. I am a seventeen-year-old-crazy who dwells in one of the most amazzzzzzzing states in the Americas, New York. I love the New England states and that is pretty much it. I care not for the government and know very little about it, instead I care for adventure. I would love to travel in the New England states, Britain, Scotland, Ireland, Holland, Romania, New Zealand, and Japan. I am also an artist of many talents! What do I do? I make Chainmaille, like the medieval armor yes, jewelry, ceramics, and other misc craft projects as well as sketches (mostly werewolves until I perfect humans), and write fan fictions, poems, and random writing pieces. Yes, I make a lot of art! Art is a way of life! It is addicting like the drugs other people my age spend their time doing, but much more healthy. All in all, I am an over decorated and hoodie kinda lass who loves making and collecting art, cute yet bizarre things, adventure, writing, and jewelry.

Well, that is enough about me, I am going to go eat a bagel now and get back to this later! I hope to see something come of blogging in round two! DINGDINGDING!
