</div><div style="text-align: center;">Oh, The Right Hypotenuse. It's been a long time, Old Blog, and I'm sorry but I think we should break up. It's just that we were so young when we met, and I think it's only natural that as we grew up, we also grew apart. I have to leave you; it's over. Also, I met <a href="http://ape-z.blogspot.com/">someone else</a>. Someone<a href="http://ape-z.blogspot.com/"> new</a>. <a href="http://ape-z.blogspot.com/">New Blog </a>and I have a future together, and you, Old Blog, you and I just don't. I'm sorry. I loved you but it's time to move on.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">No, no, you didn't do anything wrong. It's not you, it's me. I've just become a different person than I was 3 years ago, and I have to move on.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">What's New Blog's name? Oh, it's <a href="http://ape-z.blogspot.com/">ape-z</a>. Yeah, it has the same name as my <a href="http://apez.etsy.com/">etsy shop</a> and my<a href="http://www.facebook.com/shopapez"> facebook page</a> and my <a href="http://twitter.com/shopapez">twitter account</a>. You were just the odd one in the bunch and I had to change that.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Look, I'm really sorry. I hope we can still be friends. We can still get together sometimes and look back on our years together. I love a good trip down memory lane. Like, remember our <a href="http://therighthypotenuse.blogspot.com/2008/07/yo-its-ape-z-and-my-first-photoshoot.html">first post</a>? Crazy.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Okay? Are you going to be okay? Okay good.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Please don't stalk my relationship with New Blog, <a href="http://ape-z.blogspot.com/">ape-z</a> by following the blog with bloglovin' or subscribing to its feed. That would just be creepy.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">........</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">That was weird.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">But seriously, I'm moving to a <a href="http://ape-z.blogspot.com/">new blog</a>!! I hope that this one will be prettier and funnier and better and smarter and generally more attractive than my ex-blog. Just like all boyfriends should be in relation to ex-boyfriends.</div><span id="goog_2131277972"></span><br />

I still have them and I still love them but I can't wear them as much because they get very gross very fast.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">So I've been on the hunt for a new pair for quite a while, but every pair I found was either weirdly shaped, too expensive, or had some strange feature that I just didn't understand (like being metallic or bejeweled or fuzzy).</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">UNTIL.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Target saved my life. But it wasn't just any Target. Out of the four Targets in my area and target.com, only ONE Target had these shoes. Seriously. They weren't even online!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTRqk4ycSzmfyaAPWpKe5yoH_G4mjHJXPu7A-D4slOr1kRG4wEwt_puyY2RGKEOdOb2NUy8G5xd6ONVAAhCbmfw_nzD0IrMIoRBBbMgjbi1mLUAXnaIrOL29818M58vJLa4AleqvK65MY/s1600/IMG_3350.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTRqk4ycSzmfyaAPWpKe5yoH_G4mjHJXPu7A-D4slOr1kRG4wEwt_puyY2RGKEOdOb2NUy8G5xd6ONVAAhCbmfw_nzD0IrMIoRBBbMgjbi1mLUAXnaIrOL29818M58vJLa4AleqvK65MY/s640/IMG_3350.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Given the mysterious elusiveness of not only these leopard print flats but of all leopard print flats known to mankind, I had to buy them, even if I had to shell out a whopping 25 bucks. (kidding, though I never really spend that much on shoes)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I took the opportunity to wear my romper to work training today since rompers are really ridiculously impractical for wearing in many other situations. PLUS, it's finally nice and warm and sunny and August-like. Wearing boots and tights in August is just not meant to be.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-h0BIM98xxbI8RqqW1MO2yW7J-0YVZrp7UFeTG-a0KzM7bXwqsdvKuakaoelMEljcOgOUYr41yNfT-fQXGBjck3LpcOc5oGMPmDMi-dGcKR7I3M1dMTadBFmk4TwBvnX8aoSPRrZJMYo/s1600/IMG_3342.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-h0BIM98xxbI8RqqW1MO2yW7J-0YVZrp7UFeTG-a0KzM7bXwqsdvKuakaoelMEljcOgOUYr41yNfT-fQXGBjck3LpcOc5oGMPmDMi-dGcKR7I3M1dMTadBFmk4TwBvnX8aoSPRrZJMYo/s640/IMG_3342.JPG" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuElrgPzaOKXUfTHWLAWGvCtYe6EN8kxsZmT7rZ7NuDWvpJ5TIzspXI02hk5jo17UyWNlTd83i2hExLJxtMzGLXEyO67m8etDUTTqEhHLMAxN27MDKFnK2_h_iYozuefjyO0NaEUfU27A/s1600/IMG_3344.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuElrgPzaOKXUfTHWLAWGvCtYe6EN8kxsZmT7rZ7NuDWvpJ5TIzspXI02hk5jo17UyWNlTd83i2hExLJxtMzGLXEyO67m8etDUTTqEhHLMAxN27MDKFnK2_h_iYozuefjyO0NaEUfU27A/s640/IMG_3344.JPG" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibQbv5QTRK_fxptbVWghkIJwJtU5ghdLvAKJzngsUzWHOz6m1vDlOrfGTuMHxOnK_5bM0Mo93cSclKBfti2QPoLn6pQLiRN5kcwejqq7ce4RlS9yn3wGEYNkOwNC5yy_NXdgcm7zYEE8c/s1600/IMG_3347.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibQbv5QTRK_fxptbVWghkIJwJtU5ghdLvAKJzngsUzWHOz6m1vDlOrfGTuMHxOnK_5bM0Mo93cSclKBfti2QPoLn6pQLiRN5kcwejqq7ce4RlS9yn3wGEYNkOwNC5yy_NXdgcm7zYEE8c/s400/IMG_3347.JPG" width="300" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Lexy at <a href="http://quirkyexplosion.blogspot.com/">Quirky Explosion</a> (one of my most favoritest blogs) requested a tutorial on my nails.

This is quite possibly my favorite ring EVER. All its limbs move, AND it has a rhinestone shell, AND it was only 8 bucks at Target, AND I used to have a turtle ring whose limbs also moved (but didn't have a rhinestone shell) in middle school, but it broke after an unfortunate incident in which its shell was ripped off its back by an aggressive carpet. So I think this ring and I are meant to be. And my friend took the liberty of naming it Georgie Porgie.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgK7SvWtaTmlMZPNqiDL-Xf2pPVJuolo_0uWbxF73OMWkXqj3UODebmaA4hBE-fc4wNiwKjjRIO6mev5GldFb5n3i1tdiiEHcBA0NwvmhFv1kLEYZN9sSUl2mHpwIzLNForqwsIWqTwjD4/s1600/IMG_3272.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgK7SvWtaTmlMZPNqiDL-Xf2pPVJuolo_0uWbxF73OMWkXqj3UODebmaA4hBE-fc4wNiwKjjRIO6mev5GldFb5n3i1tdiiEHcBA0NwvmhFv1kLEYZN9sSUl2mHpwIzLNForqwsIWqTwjD4/s640/IMG_3272.JPG" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinIHdudb4_Y7VIyjIJhZGG0hPthrdIm0LNN1u2t1KnWTGBNSOtQQwH45JvvzZ8yzsR5VULfBBtE8T0p4SfWjX-g6rv2m8EIKBkQrqnH-a86L_-wRhsH0oU-tzkXiPbGU8vasfmt7iMySQ/s1600/IMG_3273.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinIHdudb4_Y7VIyjIJhZGG0hPthrdIm0LNN1u2t1KnWTGBNSOtQQwH45JvvzZ8yzsR5VULfBBtE8T0p4SfWjX-g6rv2m8EIKBkQrqnH-a86L_-wRhsH0oU-tzkXiPbGU8vasfmt7iMySQ/s640/IMG_3273.JPG" width="480" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">I whipped this outfit together this morning real quick so I'd have something decent to wear on my last day in town!

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Making skirts from the crazy thrifted shorts I find at the Salvation Army definitely deserves a spot in my top ten favorite pasttimes. Sometimes they are awkwardly poofy in the front, but I don't really mind. And if you find knit shorts, then the poof doesn't happen :) And like I said, I've done this many a time: see examples <a href="http://therighthypotenuse.blogspot.com/2010/08/quicktastic-update.html">here</a> and <a href="http://therighthypotenuse.blogspot.com/2010/06/another-interview-but-amazing-day.html">here</a> and <a href="http://therighthypotenuse.blogspot.com/2010/05/new-shoes.html">here</a> and <a href="http://therighthypotenuse.blogspot.com/2009/06/its-starting-to-feel-like-summerfinally.html">here</a> and <a href="http://therighthypotenuse.blogspot.com/2010/06/another-day-another-dollar.html">here</a> again.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

I cannot stress this enough. And I know I sound like a whiny drama queen brat when I say that packing is the worst thing in the world, because really there are tons of awful things happening around the world and in people's lives that actually affect them, and I know that. But when I pack, I turn into this snobby snooty whiny miserable brat. And according to <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2010/08/22/magazine/22Adulthood-t.html">this article</a>, I can expect to move EVERY YEAR of my 20s. UGH UGH. I hope you all feel my pain and aren't judging me for being such a <a href="http://thesaurus.com/browse/brat">whippersnapper</a> ;D</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Anyway, all of my clothes are stuffed away, and I stupidly did not think to set aside clothing for the next few days...mostly because I was going to sew new outfits, but of course, I have NO TIME because PACKING SUCKS. Anyway, now I am living in the same clothes until I do find the time to make a new outfit, which is admittedly gross. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">So instead of an outfit post, I've decided to do a nail polish roundup post (see above photo).</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Apparently I really like blues, greens and purples. Also, RAINBOW NAILS! my fave :)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I'm not much for prints, but I'm anxious to paint me some polka dotted, striped, and leopard print nails :D</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Organizational and other DIYs coming up in the next few days! Stay tuned, folks.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

No. The only times I've thought about my early death is 1. when I'm scared and paranoid about my life and 2. when I get into a very self-centered and conceited mode and think about how many people would show up at my funeral. hah.<br />
<br />
But I have never thought about giving up on life! That's just depressing!<br />
<br />
<b>Day 27 → What’s the best thing going for you right now?</b><br />
<br />
My friends have always been the best part of my life, and right now is no exception. Everyone always says their friends are the best, so it won't do me much good to say that mine are actually the best - but I mean....they are. Especially now, in summer, when I'm spending time with my high school friends after having been away for a year - it's awesome to have so much love to come home to.<br />
<br />
what about y'all!?<br />
<br />
love and right triangles,<br />

<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Day 17 → A book you’ve read that changed your views on something.</b><br />
To be honest, I don't read that much. I wish I did. I love going to the library and I always end up getting TONS of books but I never find the time to read them, and then it's time to bring them back to the library! It's a dilemma.<br />
<br />
But one book I do adore is <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Pedro-Me-Judd-Winick/dp/0805064036">Pedro and M</a><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Pedro-Me-Judd-Winick/dp/0805064036">e</a>. It's a graphic novel by Judd Winick about his time on one of the first seasons of MTV's The Real World, when one of the cast members, Pedro, was gay and had AIDS, and back when the Real World started, AIDS was a big deal. I mean, it's still a big deal, but back then it was new and no one really knew a lot about what it meant to have AIDS or be HIV positive. I first read it in middle school, and I was just like the people 15 years ago who had no idea what AIDS meant. So for me, it was eye-opening, and I learned a lot, and it made me want to do something to change the world. I still read it over and over to this day; it's one of my favorite books.<br />

Gay marriage is a really big, big deal to me. This is the only issue I care about 110%.<br />
<br />
<i>GLBT people should be able to get married. End of story.</i><br />
<i><br />
</i><br />
It is physically impossible for me to understand any other opinion. With other issues, I can at least see from different points of view; I can understand both sides. But with marriage equality, I believe that opponents of it have NO BASIS WHATSOEVER for their arguments against an extremely basic right that all people should have. And it frustrates me to no end that people are so ignorant and our government can't and won't do something to <b>fix this.</b><br />

I am not a religious person, and I never have been. I love the idea of community, so I can see why people attend services to be with other people who have the same spiritual sense.<br />
<br />
But for me personally, I have never believed in a God, and I never will. Maybe there's someone out there, God-like, so for now, I'll be agnostic.<br />
<br />
For politics,<a href="http://therighthypotenuse.blogspot.com/2010/07/flowers-for-you.html"> read my letter</a> to the US Government.<br />

<b>Day 20 → Your views on drugs and alcohol.</b><br />
I used to be such a straight-edge, goody-two-shoe type person. But summer after senior year, that all changed. Hah. I mean, all my friends were so innocent. And then we all just went crazy. I only have a couple friends who are still law-abiding citizens. I'm not saying I'm a drug addict or an alcoholic by any means! But come on, I'm a college student. I've got to have at least a bit of a wild side! :D<br />

<b>Day 21 → (scenario) Your best friend is in a car accident and you two got into a fight an hour before. What do you do?</b><br />
Completely forget about the fight. Most definitely. Car accidents are scary stuff. Fights are trivial.<br />
<br />
<b>Day 22 → Something you wish you hadn’t done in your life.</b><br />
I don't believe in regret, as long as you learn from your mistakes. Because if you learn from it, then there's a silver lining in every mistake - you become a better person, smarter, more experienced - so maybe the mistake wasn't great, but it's nothing to regret.<br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">No outfit to post today, since I spent the morning feeling exhausted, and the evening starting my new job! And at the new job, dress code is the staff teeshirt and comfy pants or shorts, so no outfits worth photographing. Dressing up for an office job is probably the <i>only</i> thing I will miss about my receptionist job.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">And PS: the new job is WONDERFUL!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Day 10 of the <a href="http://therighthypotenuse.blogspot.com/2010/07/30-days-of-truths.html">Thirty Days of Truths</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Day 10 → Someone you need to let go, or wish you didn’t know.</b></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;">Damn these are hard. I..don't know. Hmm.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;">Probably ex-boyfriends. I mean, none of my past relationships have ever ended awfully, and I'm still friends with all of my exes, but I always have a secret thought in the back of my head saying, "what if he was the one?" Which is SO romantic-comedy-wah-wah-wah, but what can I say?</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;">In particular, there's one guy. We dated for a few months, and he was my first love. And you know what they say, first loves never die! ha. But really, it's not that I want to date him again or anything, I just miss what we had. And we are still great friends. Which sometimes makes it harder to forget the past, but it's definitely better than the alternative.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;">God, I'm such a girl.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Day 09 → Someone you didn’t want to let go, but just drifted.</b></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;">This one makes me super sad and nostalgic, because I miss people super easily, even if I don't really like them all that much. If they were a part of my life because I loved them or because they provided entertainment by being the class clown in 8th grade math class or something, I still miss them.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">And going to college has been rough, only because of the <i>many</i> goodbyes I have to say multiple times a year. End of the summer: bye, friends from home! End of the semester: bye, friends from school! End of winter break: bye again, friends from home! End of the semester: bye again, friends from school! I hate it.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">There are lots and lots of people I wish I was friends with, but I'm still grateful for the friends I've kept and the friend's I've made.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Once again with me not really answering the questions! I'm so bad at this!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">so perfect, so gorgeous, handmade, leather, and on sale for $115.</div><div style="text-align: center;">And she's closing her <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/zhenunleathers">shop</a>, so it's likely that I'll miss my chance to get one of these! :(</div><div style="text-align: center;">I'm keeping my fingers crossed though, and will probably look at them every day until I can afford one.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Of course, I'd never object to getting one as a gift<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"> (hinthint)</span> ;) haha, kidding!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">But seriously, they look gorgeous, come in great colors, and would be PERFECTION for toting around my books and laptop during the school year.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">And now for Day 8 of the <a href="http://therighthypotenuse.blogspot.com/2010/07/30-days-of-truths.html">Thirty Days of Truths</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Day 08 → Someone who made your life hell, or treated you like shit.</span></b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;">I'm always paranoid of being <i>that</i> girl in the TV shows and movies who gets taken advantage of and used, but I have no reason to be. I have the greatest friends, as I said on <a href="http://therighthypotenuse.blogspot.com/2010/07/new-york-i-love-you.html">Day 7</a>.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">But thanks to those movies and TV shows (curse you, media), I'm still pretty fearful. </div><div style="text-align: center;">So my first answer would be: the media.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">My second answer would be: my mother. Whew. That is a scary thing to say. My mother made my life hell? Well, last year she did. I don't think I know a single person who didn't absolutely despise their parents during senior year of high school, when all you wanted to do was end high school with a bang, and all your parents wanted you to do was think about <i>college</i> and <i>the future</i> and <i>scholarship applications</i>.

</div><div style="text-align: center;">And saw live music at the South Street Seaport, </div><div style="text-align: center;">and did lots of shopping and eating, and stayed entirely downtown! We were in the East Village, SoHo, Chelsea, and stayed near Union Square at my friend's NYU summer dorm room at the Brittany Residence Hall. SO MUCH POTENTIAL SHOPPING that I resisted...but I did buy a pair of sunglasses off the street on St. Marks Place, of course. :)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I want to live there so badlyyyyyyy eeeeeee.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

I'm half kidding, but I'm also sorta serious. I'm extremely concerned about my personal financial situation. Now, I live under the protection of my parents, and if I ever need anything, they can cover it, which I am really thankful for, and lucky to have. And I'm sure that when I am living on my own, they will still help me out when I need it. But I don't want them to. They're already paying a shit-ton of money for my education, and I want to be able to afford everything and support my lifestyle on my own.</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br />

Oh wait, I'm doing that now.</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br />

This is intense. I don't know if I can pick a single person! Seriously, I live for everyone I love, and I love a lot of people. My family, my best friends from home, my best friends from school...I live so we can be friends/family forever. I don't have a single best friend - I would consider myself best friends with quite a few people. In fact, I know already that I will never be able to choose a single person to be my maid of honor, so I plan on having all my bridesmaids split the role! Hah, except I really don't plan on getting married any time soon.</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br />
