Andrea Racine

Andrea Racine is fly paper. She catches bugs that no one else likes and sticks them to herself. She never lets them go.

Andrea Racine is making fun of everything that she is. She is a human and a girl and goes to high school and goes to parties.

Andrea Racine has straight across bangs, wears scarves and Ray Bans.

Andrea Racine is scene. (what a rhyme)

Andrea Racine speaks in strange accents and speaks to her cat as if he were human.

Andrea Racine is proud of the statement above.

Andrea Racine gets on facebook at least once a day but she really, really shouldn't.

Andrea Racine says "I love you" quite often through text messages but, again, she really, really shouldn't.

Andrea Racine lives a life for show.

But at least the soundtrack is really good.

I Do Not Wear Ugg Boots

Lets pretend that we are something bigger than what we are. We can think that everyone is watching us, even if they aren't. We could have been friends with great people. We could have known the world better than we do. Let us pretend. Let us pretend there are lions in the den, having dinner, having supper by the fire. They are lounging, holding hands and playing cards. They are free and as much like people as you or me. There is a rug, in the den by the fire, where lions lay and pretend to play, they roar. Calling to us, calling to us, they pretend to be in pain.
A ROAR.
And I am gone. In the belly of a beast. With you by my side, we were the feast. We could have been friends. Maybe, we could have been friends and gotten along. But you came along, you came along, and your life was wrong, we couldn't be friends. We could have, maybe, if you had had a brain. An idea. A thought? What exactly did you need? A pair of glasses and sunscreen? What did you need? How many times can you run around the circle, it looks the same. How many times can you pretend you aren't insane? You aren't insane. How many times can people humor you, pretend you are correct. Pretend.
It is all make believe.
You made me not believe, and I blame You. You made me not believe in anything. So thank you, I hate you, I'd gladly see you run away. I would feel better if you weren't in my life at all. I have barely even known you and its ruined. The lions took us away and it is ruined. Its thanks to you I can't believe. Am I fair to pass judgment on you? I don't even know you but you made me stop believing and I tried to get to know you and now I know I shouldn't have tried to get to know you because nothing good came from knowing you I just wanted to throw you out the window of that car.
Sorry. Let me try to breathe. It is a tight fit in the stomach of this beast.
You wear Ugg boots which seems so unlike you but if it makes you happy it is what you have to do.
Rewind, rewind, rewind.
No one wears Ugg boots.

Happy Thanksgiving.

I just slept on my sister's shoulder for the majority of a two and a half hour movie.

Boots

The world I live in is funny and it doesn't make any sense, but I don't make any sense, so me and the world work well together. I like clothes that I don't buy. I wish I had more money. I really love shoes a lot. I've decided that I am going to start documenting shoes, everywhere I go, the pretty ones at least. I like shiny things, and shiny things are hip, therefore I am hip. That is how it works right? I am a hipster, right? I really like boots. Hipsters like boots, or something like that, so I'm hip, right? I hope so. I hope people like me. I hope I fit in and people think about me when I'm not there. I hope that they wish I was there. Hippies are the original hipsters, or something like that. Hippies started hip. Before hippies nothing was hip. Everything was Leave it to Beaver or a desperate housewife strung out on Valium and fumes. Oh, those were the days. Innocence and whit picket fences. I hope to never have a house with a fence. I like rainbows a lot, as well as gay people. Gay people seem to really get along with me. Men and women alike. I enjoy their company. Everything feels safer in the company of a fag or two. They are nice. I still really love shoes. If they were cheaper or I were richer I would own more shoes. Life is not so simple. I don't even like to wear shoes. I just like to have them and look at them. I really like winter, but I also really like bonfires and the weather is getting to be just a bit too chilly for bonfires. I could never wear thigh-high boots, I would feel silly. But I should never say never because one day I'm sure I will. They are wild. I'm bringing the 30's back, the fashion at least. Everything was cool. Beck is cool. He's the coolest guy I've ever seen. I wish I was more like him.

You there, with the iron mask.

Once upon a time, no one existed. I was here, and you were here, but no one else existed. I didn't know you. And everything was dark. You were somewhere in a world of your own. I wandered
and i wandered
and i wandered
and one day, you were here. I met you. And i liked you and i touched the sadness on your face. you were drunk.
but so was i so it was okay that you were too
and then the dark got brighter
and i could see things i had never seen before
and everything was beautiful. more beautiful than before. you would tell me stories when i wanted to be able to hear. and you would show me things when i wanted to be able to see. and life was better. and things started to exist. and real life was real life, but so were my dreams. everything was brighter. you washed the sadness off your face, and i washed mine. i could see. there was a sun and at night the brightest moon i could ever see. everything was brighter. and everything really loved to exist.
too much existed. too many people and faces all with sadness on them. i had trouble seeing you. you had a harder time seeing me. i screamed for you in a crowd, a crowd for hours with me screaming to you. screaming so loud the clouds could hear me. but not you.
you went to lunch, in the daylight, with other things that existed
you all fell in-love. i sat beneath trees hoping you could hear me. but i lost my voice, so i sat silently.
and then you stopped existing. everything else existed, sort of. it got dark again so i couldnt really see. maybe everything was gone. but i am sure you stopped existing. and i sat beneath dark trees
silently
hoping somewhere you could hear me.
and we all lived separately ever after.
thats why we invented telephones.

and that is the story of how we fell in-love, mister.
