{that's blogtastic}

58 days...

but who's counting?! :)

I just read on Jordin Sparks' website that she's playing One Splendid Evening on the eve of the cruise. Woot. Come onnnnn March.

i'm not dead.

iIm back from my island vacation (aka watching harley at Jenn's house). It was a good week. Got to spend some quality time with Juno Chester Tessa. Started classes . . . kinda. Two of my three professors didn't show up on the first day of classes, meaning I got up at 6:30am for absolutely no reason. It's all good though. I crocheted my little heart out and my scarf for Belle is now over two feet wide. WooT. I just finished unpacking all of my goods and should really be doing some laundry right about now. And I should be snuggling up with my puppy-dog who I totally have been missing. My packages from Lush UK arrived *almost* completely safe and sound. And now I'm laughing about this song. Genius. That is all.

this one's for you, bobio.

heck yes.

i'm pretty pumped for the new lily allen cd. i'm just saying.

she's both clever AND funny. i want this to be out now. that's all.

I want to be rich and I want lots of money
I don't care about clever I don't care about funny
I want loads of clothes and fuckloads of diamonds
I heard people die while they are trying to find them

And I'll take my clothes off and it will be shameless
Cause everyone knows that's how you get famous
I'll look at The Sun and I'll look in The Mirror
I'm on the right track yeah I'm onto a winner

I don't know what's right and what's real anymore
And I don't know how I'm meant to feel anymore
When do you think it will all become clear
Cause I'm being taken over by the fear

Life's about film stars and less about mothers
It's all about fast cars and cussing each other
But it doesn't matter cause I'm packing plastic
And that's what makes my life so fucking fantastic

And I am a weapon of massive consumption
And it's not my fault it's how I'm programmed to function
I'll look at The Sun and I'll look in The Mirror
I'm on the right track yeah we're onto a winner

I don't know what's right and what's real anymore
And I don't know how I'm meant to feel anymore
When do you think it will all become clear
Cause I'm being taken over by the fear

Forget about guns and forget ammunition
Cause I'm killing them all on my own little mission
Now I'm not a saint but I'm not a sinner
Now everything's cool as long as I'm getting thinner

I don't know what's right and what's real anymore
And I don't know how I'm meant to feel anymore
When do you think it will all become clear
Cause I'm being taken over by the fear

(remaining) answers to my movie quotes :)

1. What? Friends listen to "Endless Love" in the dark. HAPPY GILMORE

2. Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again, but life goes on. BLOW

3. We got a human penis right there by the curb. Somebody's gotta be looking for that. 11:14 

5. Ohh, wow, not so good. I lost my schedule at the beginning of the semester, and couldn't find my classes for like a month and a half. I end up getting three D's and an F, I mean, it's not that bad. considering I passed. HAGGARD

6. How many pots have you smoken? 40 YEAR OLD VIRGIN

10. I used to like to play with my Ken and Barbie dolls. Ken was my favorite. Then one Christmas I got them a camper and all they wanted to do was hang out in it by themselves. So I wasn't too upset when they took that wrong turn and went over the cliff. MY GIRL

11. He isn't my gift to you, he's your son. RAY

15. I'm sorry, but, could I get another one? I... uh... signed the wrong name. GHOST

16. I don't know... But some people without brains do an awful lot of talking... don't they? THE WIZARD OF OZ

17.I guess when you combine mass quantities of cough syrup with yodels... you get acid. CLICK 

whattttt.....

so i was poking around on youtube looking for a sweet video of 311 to post, because i've been on a 311 kick the past few days ... and i realized i have TWO youtube accounts. and i also realized that the hanson video i tried uploading eight billion years ago actually DID upload. sweet! dear baby camera, i love you! (this was taken from the back of the club :)

p.s. i totally love zac hanson. love. love. love.

Melissa seriously needs to get out of my head. It's starting to creep me out.

While she is choosing not to pick OLW for the year, or to lose weight, OR take a photo a day (all of which I am doing) she is still stealing my thunder.

My word is try.

 

Takes four days to get to like me
But two to wanna leave
But the part that really gets me
Are all the moments in between
Now I lie to get a little
And laugh at every little thing
She's high on information
But now I'm low on self-esteem

I'm gonna try, try
Gonna try
Try to be myself
Although myself will wonder why
I'm gonna try, try
Gonna try
Try to be myself this time

I'm a hundred kinds of crazy
But I only wanna find
The one sweet little angel
Who's gonna let me speak my mind
All I ever do these days
Is dumb my process down
She's making her decision
Now I'm losing all of my ground

I'm gonna try, try
Gonna try
Try to be myself
Although myself will wonder why
I'm gonna try, try
Gonna try
Try to be myself
I'm gonna try be myself this time

Easy does it now
Just keep your damn mouth shut
She thinks you're hot already
Don't go and press your luck
No news is good news coming
You gotta wait to find
Don't go and blow it, you knew every single time

I'm gonna try, try
Gonna try
Try to be myself
Although myself will wonder why
I'm gonna try, try
Gonna try
Try to be myself
I'm gonna try be myself this time

things that are on my mind today.

• i want one of these necklaces. i'm not sure which one yet. ali posted a promo code for the month of january, so i will figure it out before february :)

• my goal is to be here by september. fingers crossed.
• i need to pack a stamp in my bag for stickles. because i'm a slack-ass and didn't get it to the store last weekend. it will be there for you today, janice!

fan-tastico (part two!)

 

I picked up this shutter at a little antique shop with Melissa in Falmouth. My plan is to clothespin on photos and cards and notes and such that don't have any other home.

 

Arggg! A pirate chest filled with the best booty around (lush!) and a signed Hanson poster.

 

My current obsession. Dexter.

   

TV stand. TV. More candles. Books. Dvds. NKOTB pin. Doobie Brothers drumsticks.

fan-tastico!

my.room.is.finished.

Everything is painted. Everything is hung on the wall. Everything is where it should be. And I freakin' love it.

 

I really want another one of these shelves. I'm not sure where I would put it, but that's another story... It's the perfect home for some pictures frames (including a little collage of the many-faces-of-mlpro), the cute little birdies Er got me for Christmas, and Jenn's Christmas gift from last year (the {creative chicks} vase). Oh, and one of the creatures from Where the Wild Things Are. Little known fact: that monster is tattoo'd on my Dad's arm. True story.

My bed. My window. My photos (which I personally took!). MayerX2 and Hanson. Love.

 

I had a love affair with Target while I was redecorating my room. My sheets, my comforter, my curtains, my TV stand, and this audio pier (which I'm using as a massive night stand/printer station) all came from this fantastical store. Hell, I even bought new underwear at Target while I was in project-room-makeover-mode. TMI? Ha!

 

What's not to love about new printers AND Yankee Candles? That's what I thought ... nothing. I got this bad boy at BJ's for only $50!! Love the quality of the prints. Go get one. You won't regret it.

 

You may collect things that would sell for thousands on Antique Roadshow. I, my friends, collect shot glass. Who's classy? Me.

 

Giant Christmas Cookie candle (my faveeee!). Me and Dad. Me and Mom.

 

My *dirty* mirror (also a Target purchase) and some Lush staples.

 

   

 

A photo wall inspired by the one and only Shurkus! Not all black and whites, but just as lovely :)
