make a little birdhouse in your soul

I love They Might Be Giants. If you don't know about them, they make a range of music, especially alternative, folk, and sometimes electronic rock. They also make really nerdy songs, which are always quite awesome. Here are some of my favorite songs of theirs:

"Bidhouse In Your Soul"

"Particle Man"

"Can't Keep Johnny Down"

"You Probably Get That A Lot"

"Meet James Ensor"

"Meet the Elements"

"Boss of Me"

"Istanbul Not Constantinople"

See ya later!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :3

fancy 50s frocks

I've been thinking about prom again, cos it will be here in only a couple months. I really really really would love to wear a fancy 50s prom dress, like the ones from the dance scene in Grease. So I searched the internet for amazing vintage dresses as well as some accessories that you might love as well.
