Ah Elitches [Jun. 28th, 2009|08:27 pm]
[Tags|]

So I went to Elitch's today with Claire, mom, claire's friend, and Joooooordan, and had such an awesome time. I love Elitch's (Elitches?), but I really miss the old one, with the sweet log ride, and the gum tree, and the carousel.... Apparently now they have a Panda Express, which is unnecessarily expensive, and though tasty, still a little strange to find there. I rode the twister II twice, and after the tea cups I sort of regretted the combo of wine and tequila from the night before...
So, something also really ticked me off about today, and I'm going to whine about it here, because that's totally what LJ is for. When we got to the park there was a pretty big group of girls Claires age, and one of them started saying yelling, "Ewww Claire! Ewww Claire!" and Claire looked and the girl and said, "Hey______! ... What? Why are you saying that?" Or something like that... I didn't immediately notice any sort of animosity, I thought she was maybe friends with them.. Any way, I asked her what that was abot and she said she didn't know but that one girl was always sort of saying stuff like that to her. : ( How do you explain to a 10 year old that sometimes girls are just mean? And that she probably wouldn't want to be friends with them anyway because they're probably not nice to each other too, when they're probably the popular girls in the class? Uggh. I had kind of forgotten the whole thing had happened until we were in line for the "Ghost Blasters" ride (which was really lame) and the same girl came up and started saying it again, this time Claire and her friend were clearly with us, so it's totally inappropriate to say anything like that. I looked at the girl and in my stearnest, grumpiest voice said, "That is enough. Thank you." Joooooordan was there too, and totally saw the look of total shame, or embarassment or disappointment or something. Whatever I was it was awesome. I crushed a 10 year old. I feel bad now though, like I fought claire's battle, or like now she'll get teased more because I couldn't keep my mouth shut. Uggh!! It was just so annoying! I know I wasn't exactly nice to everyone in elementary school (there was one girl who wound up switching to a different class because we were so mean) but I cannot recall ever being mean to someone outside of school or like, the rec center, especially in front of their family.

Is it pathetic that I feel totally awesome every time I think of the look on that girl's face though? Hahaha...

Yesterday I was so sassy. We went to Burger King on the way to Megan's new place, with all the furniture in the cars and stuff, and we went through the drive-through. So we get our food, and I ask the guy for some honey mustard, and (very sassily) he turns around and hands me two packets. So I ask, somewhat politely, "Can we have a couple more? There's two of us..." So he sighs loudly, turns around to grab two more, and I'm thinking, "What a dick, are you kidding me??" I can't describe his sass correctly, but it was there. So as I'm rolling up my window, I sass back to him, "Have a nice day." And started to roll up the window, and I hear him go, "Ok, you have a nice day too..." And Megan starts busting up laughing and says, "Jesus Margot! That was sassy!"

I have it in me, it's just really lame. It was pretty much the equivalent of telling someone, "You know what? You are not very pleasent." or "Have a mediocre day, you jerk!"

Sigh. I need fabric. I want to make a dress.

So today was court day.. I woke up, but I was having a really weird dream that was like a movie, so I kept hitting the snooze so I could see how the movie ended, and finally I sat up (to Jared running up the stairs to give me a kiss) and realized I needed to get down to business. I needed to get dressed for court! I wanted to look cute, but not fussy, but respectable, but mostly cute. I went with my cream sweater and my green wool skirt and my black pumps. Very nice. I had this movie playing in my head that I was going to get to court, and it was going to look like courtrooms do in the movies, all paneled with dark wood, with a judge sitting at the head of the room. (In my head he was not wearing the white curly wig. FYI.) I had this idea that I was going to get yelled at, and Megan's mom had said, "I am extremely surprised that they didn't tow her car on the spot, so I'm sure she'll have to pay at least a $200 fine." Well shit, I'm broke... And I was nervous it would be even more than that. The tags were expired since March of '08. So I'm all about being ready super fast, working Megan towards the door, because I didn't want to be late, and we got there like, 45 minutes early. We were the only people there, so I was like, "Yes! This won't take long at all." Shortly after we sit down, a girl sits down next to us, wearing sweats. Surely, I thought, she wouldn't be going to court wearing a track suit, right? But more and more people started showing up all inappropriately dressed, except for maybe 4 other people. One guy was wearing denim, ripped up overalls. Another wearing cargo pants and a stained shirt. Uggh! Yeah ok, I know court is a hassle and no one wants to be there, but that's no excuse to look like shit. Unacceptable. Anywho, I wound up getting the young male attorney, who I caught looking at my boobies, and he dismissed my case, with nooooooooo fine. Woo! I attribute this to a) It really wasn't that big of a deal, and b) I looked cute, and looked like I cared about being there. And maybe I have a nice rack. Who knows?

Anyway, since I was so appalled at the dress code people let themselves get away with for formal and semi-formal events. I understand that it depends on the audience, who you're there for, who you're with, whatever, but still. No jeans at weddings, funerals, or court. There were a whole bunch of other things that I thought of, but I forget them now.

After court we went to get Megan's mom for lunch, we went to the Olive Garden, and it was actually pretty good. We came home, and I bummed around on the internets watching ANTM, and falling in love with one of the girls' style. She's kind of weird but she wears such god damn cute clothes. I've had a long day...

“To be nobody-but-yourself — in a world which is doing its best, night & day, to make you everybody else — means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; & never stop fighting.” — e e cummings


I can not stop reading this website, and I cannot stop thinking this girl is amazing. I wonder if she ever has a bad day. Thanks Joooooordan for showing me Gala love.

I also love this, despite how disgustingly cheesy and mushy it is...
"You are this incredible treasure, a shining jewel in the shape of a girl or boy (or unicorn), & you have no idea. You are a gift. Your presence here is important, your thoughts & dreams & loves & heartache enrich the world. Realise how cherished & amazing you are, right now. You will not be any more wonderful or valuable when you lose ten pounds, or become a millionaire, or get married.

Recognise what you are & make a promise that you will be a love letter to the universe forever, a valentine to all the people & all the stars. The more love you give away, the more true it becomes, & while it can be hard at first, it gets easier — I promise, pinky-swear. You & I are in alignment. This is our secret pact. Write it down & keep it close. I will do my best & you do yours, okay?

Decide to fall in love with the world & it will swoop you up in its arms & smother you with kisses. You will get all your joy & excitement back a million times over. This is real, this is how it works. Even when you feel hard & cold & angry, you have more love to give away than you could ever believe possible. It is infinite like galaxies. Just give it away. Imagine cartoon hearts in hot pink & vivid red floating out of your chest & popping over the heads of everyone, showering them with hope & blessings & encouragement, & your life will begin to change. It will become this sparkling carousel of magic & wonder.

I love you & I believe in you & you deserve to be happy, always."

Goals for week of mar. 29-apr. 4: [Mar. 29th, 2009|10:37 pm]
[Current Location |the couch.]
[music |Wake Up - The Arcade Fire]

(and 1 goal for life, not this week, haha.)
1. Finish applying to CU Denver
2. Take more pictures
3. Fill up my Moleskine I've had for too long.
4. Keep track of things I need to do, a la the sweet community Jordan showed me on lj.
5. Keep reading cool comics, and cool books, and cool fashion blogs.
6. Keep making things with my sewing machine. Any ideas/requests?
7. Someday attend Holi, the festival of color.
8. Not be so stupid with money... : (

Ooooook. Had a pretty sweet birthday party last night though. I had a pretty awesome costume, and so did almost everyone there. Those who didn't dress up can suck it. Haha, and it was extremely well documented.
Turning 21 was really weird though. After 18 (cigs, porn, and voting), 19 and 20 are so anticlimactic. For 20 I had a really fun birthday party, but it was much different than being 19, except now I'm in a different decade. For some reason 21 feels a lot older than 20. I was really worried almost, to go to the bars, and have people pressure me into getting a lot more drunk than I wanted to. I guess I was given some shit for not being like, plastered, but I guess that's just not my style. I'm a classy lady. And going into my first liquor store was so weird. I wasn't harassed for being under age, and I kept expecting someone to yell at me, like, "Hey you, kid! Get outta here!" Um... That's kind of awkward, but I couldn't help thinking it. I reeked of "Fresh 21" or something.
So at midnight we went out, I had a car bomb, a red(ish) shot, one that was on fire, a whiteish/champagne colored one, and a "bday cake" one, but it was probably just a bunch of crap a guy threw in a shot glass. I think I remember everything, and I'm ok with that. We came home, went to bed, and by the time we woke up in the morning there were 10 inches of snow on the ground. Needless to say, Pasquini's wasn't happening, and I was pretty bummed. We made a pretty good dinner at home though, and watched a movie and hung out. On Friday we actually went to Pasquini's, and I was so stoked to order my first beer in a restaurant, and she didn't even card me! Story of my life... My first pack of cigarettes when I was 18, the guy didn't card me then either. Oh well, I guess.
Last night was intense. Pictures are up on facebook already, but yeah... The mess is still here. Maybe I'll work on that tomorrow.

Megan's birthday is coming up, and I'm giving my liver a break until then, and then (uggh) court on Thursday. I'm scurred.

+I saw the trailer for Where the Wild Things Are, and I'm so excited. It inspired me to listen to The Arcade Fire again. : )

"Breathtaking" [Feb. 15th, 2009|03:49 pm]
So AdAge had an article about this document that's been circulating recently, and supposedly it's the "reasoning" or the idea behind the launch of the new Pepsi logo, which admittedly is a cool logo. It's pretty, and the first time I saw it, I honestly was surprised. Pepsi has never really changed. All of the sodas go through updates every now and then, and while the colors and the idea are basically the same, it's... different. So anyway, AdAge posted this supposed document that's going around, and even AdAge doesn't know if this is a legitimate document from the depths of the Pepsi marketing team, or just some sort of sneaky ad campaign to get people talking about the new ad, or at least the stupid reasoning behind it.

I'm leaning toward the "Sneaky advertising" side. Unless the guy is from Boulder, in which case I'm sure he's dead serious.

My "quest" to write more entries is failing miserably. Boo. And I'm sick, which makes trying to have a lovely and romantic Valentine's date difficult, since Hapa makes it's shrimp tempura roll enormous, and my nose is so stuffed I can't really breathe. (That's what she said...?)

Soooo... Inspired by Jordan's newest post, I think I'm going to start jotting down little things about my day, too.

Today I went and exercised at the Y, totally rad, I know, and came home and got all cute and went to that cupcake shop on Pearl Street Kathy keeps telling me about. It's called Tees & Cakes, and it's perfect. It's like, this tiny hole in the wall and it has just 5 little tables inside and it sells t-shirts and (surprise) cupcakes. I had a delicious vanilla latte and a Coca-cola cupcake, and read that stupid Lullaby book by Palahniuk. I should really just start reading books that I know are going to be good, instead of starting random books by authors that I know I don't really like, but then I get sucked into the story and I just want to know how it ends. Whatever. I'll take any suggestions! I want to read all the classics I've missed. I know there are a lot.

Anywho, I brought a few cupcakes home for Jared and Megan, and I think tonight I'll start dying some of the fondant for the Superbowl cupcakes, so there's less to do Friday and Saturday.

And now, it's time for leftovers and Lost, Bad Girls Club, and finishing Dexter, season 2. Yesssss.

So Long, Farewell [Jan. 19th, 2009|07:27 pm]

[mood | excited]

It's the last day in office for George Bush. There's been a lot of talk in the media lately about Bush's legacy. What do you think he will be most remembered for?


View other answers



Dear LJ,

I will never deny that George W. Bush was dealt some nasty cards, but some of the decisions made while he was in office were pretty inexcusable, and sadly he will be remembered for those things. 9/11, the war, violating the Geneva convention, obscenely high gas prices, the Katrina fiasco, the economy... While all of these things are not solely his fault, he will be remembered for all of it. And some pretty awesome new additions to the English language.

Lets crack open a bottle of champagne tomorrow night, and celebrate some desperately needed change.

Love, Margot

Writer's Block: Wild Rumpus [Nov. 17th, 2008|12:50 am]
[Tags|, ]
[mood | tired]

A lot of characters in kids' books have it pretty good, from calling the start of the wild rumpus to ordering room service from their hotel suite. If you could be any character from children's literature, who would you be?

Dear livejournal,

I would be Milo from The Phantom Tollbooth, because he's so bored with his life, and he just thinks everything is so dull, but then one day a mysterious Tollbooth and a car show up in his room, and as he drives through the tollbooth he gets transported to a magical world where he has to save Rhyme and Reason, and he meets the Dodecahedron, and the Mathmagician, and he gets to taste all the different letters of the alphabet... And when he gets back to the real world he starts to see that life is fascinating and there is so much (almost too much) in the world that there is to learn.

I want to read it again...

Love, me.
