Family, Interests, and shamless advertising of my hobbies

Good Morning Bloggity, it's been a while hasn't it?

4 days! I'm shocked at my ability to hold myself back from posting on you.

But I’ll leave whispering sweet nothings into your ear for later. For now, I would like to continue sharing with you my life.

First off, I would like to introduce my family to you:
This is my lovely mother. She's the one who convinced me to make a blog (three years of convincing, to be exact). It'll probably turn out different than what she expects, but then again I pride myself in being unpredictable~ I am eternally striving to be as classy, unique and stylish as she is.

Here's my daddy! He's an amazingly intelligent, funny Scott-Irishman native to my state. He loves trivia just as much as I do; I hope he loves this blog!


This is my sister. As any older sister should, she terrorizes me daily, in the most loving of ways of course. Her laid-back attitude is something I admire. You'll be seeing more of her here!

I realized in my earlier post i failed to mention all my hobbies and interests. Here I would like to spam you with them.

One thing I enjoy waaaay too much is webcomics. I'm constantly found on Smackjeeves webcomic hosting, reading such things as Vampire Fetish, Hell Kitchen, Beast Hunt, Penelope's Far Out-Maniac, etc.
You should check them all out, or the site in general, since it's filled with amazing comics and artists.

Another hobby of mine, if not obvious by the background of my blog is reading. My reading list at the moment consists of Re-reading some old favorites; for example the Series of Unfortunate Events books and The Harry Potter Series and of course brushing up on the classic's like All of Shakespeare's tragedies, The Invisible Man, Dr. Jeckl and Mr. Hyde, The Prince, Candide, etc.

And I don't blame you if you were lost at Shakespeare.





Another obvious one; I love fashion. Clothing, accessories, purses, shoes; and the general thrill of taking multiple pieces and putting them together to form an outfit that gets compliments wherever you go is something I do and love practically everyday.
(And yes, I definatly wear pretty things JUST to get complimented;
I also have a thing for sarcasm.)

Sadly, this post will be lacking in any outfits of mine, since my camera outlet that allows me to upload pictures seems to have displaced itself. Poor thing has a terrible sense of direction. These pictures are from Style.com; Spring 2010 Ready to wear collection of Chanel, Ana Sui and Betsey Johnson.

Lastly, but not leastly, Art. Drawing, painting, sketching, inking, watercolor, oil, pastel, everything and anything I love. Yes I'm not very well practiced in ALL mediums, but I hope to be eventually, Art is something I love so much, I hope to make a career out of it. The above is Gustav Klimt’s The Kiss, one of my all-time favorites.

Thanks for reading through this post of text-walls and scattered pictures. I promise to upload recent pictures as soon as I can!
Well Bloggity, this is goodbye.
Parting is such sweet sorrow.
With Love,
ARK

Hello, Interweb!

Good Evening any and all friends/strangers that have stumbled upon this page!


This is my new blog, and you may call me ARK.


In said blog i hope to convey to you all of my current interests, opinions, and pictures. I'd like to think of this space as a home away from home; my watchers as my quirky but charming family.
As a beginning, I'd like to show you some of my pictures:
This is me, just yesterday afternoon in one of my favorite skirts. A comfortable, but retro outfit of mine. I plan on trying daily outfit posts, to share my style with you.
Here are some things I Like:

I like Teddy, she's been my buddy for 14 years now.


I like my best friend, and her adorable cats. For our purposes, her name is RedRobin; My loyal sidekic--er friend.



I like my boyfriend. In most pictures he appears as an amorphous shape, so this is as good as it gets. His name will remain unknown.


I like henna tattoos. Unhealthily so. Haven't gotten one done in a while...



I like teasets, teacups and tea parties. And tea, too. This particular cup is RedRobin's.
And for now, i shall leave this as my first blog post to you. I feel as though this is the start of a beautiful relationship. Be writing again soon,
ARK
