i suck at commitments.

the weather outside is frightful... and rainy.

sometimes i wish i lived in England. or at least Canada. it just seems as if everybody there are just a ton more....






oh, how do say it...






INTERESTING???






i mean, really, all of my favorite bands are from there, and i wish i could talk in that amazing accent, plus it actually SNOWS there!






maybe i'm overreacting a bit.













anyways, i've been listening to the Killers...

i can't seem to find any of their other albums here, though.

i've only listened to 5 songs, and i'm in love.

human and spaceman are my favorites so far.

funny thing is, this was my dad's christmas present.

so i got a lot of nice stuff, but the big kapow is gonna come today or sometime this weekend. i've been saving up my money for a laptop. it's gonna be the dell inspiron. in either white or black.

i also got this super soft robe (which my dad made fun of since it's only 5% cashmere, but it still feels like heaven.)

plus, a ouija board, which i've been wanting for about 2 years now. (eeeeviilll!eeeeviilll!!!!!)

ouija said my husbands name will be paul brebrak. what kind of name is that?

anyways...

did some after christmas sale shopping at crate&barrel, restoration hardware, and pottery barn. my three favorite stores (that's a joke) with my mom and grandma. my mom got really mad at me for no reason. that wasn't fun. then we had pei wei though. the best chinese food were ever gonna get in Texas.

this is our christmas tree ( i know it's sideways). it's pretty bare and wimpy if you cant already see that. but it's pretty when it's dark outside and the lights are turned on.

i'm afraid that this blog is becoming a "life" blog. the one thing i was scared for it to become. i just don't know what else it could be though. i dont have that many interesting clothes, so it couldn't be a fashion blog. i do cook, but not enough for this to be a solely cooking blog. i'm not creative enough for this to be an art blog, and i'm not musically cultural for this to be a music blog.

i'm all mixed up.

au revoir readers.

i'm baaa-aackk....

i know that there's been a massive, huge, colossal, carvernous amount of space here where i haven't been writing, but fret not-- there is hope on the horizon. during this span (dex) of time, i have spent it in Washington D.C. (our, or my nation's capitol) and the wonderful, incredulous (i think i just made that up) New York City. i'm gonna start a few new things on here, like:

1: RFOTD
stands for: Random Fact Of The Day
comes from: The Book Of Useless Information
why i love it (and you should too): nothing in there is useful, but you can turn to any page and find out something you didn't know.
why it will last: there are three other similar books, all over 200 pages filled with amazing useless knowledge.


2: My D.C./N.Y.C. travel journal
what it is: while i was away, i kept a journal (religiously, i might add.) (no, not in the name of God, but yes, the other definition.) of what i did, ate, and did more of.
comes from: directly from the travel journal i kept close at hand 24/7.
why i love it: because its miiinnneeee!!!!!!!!
why it will last: it won't, but that doesn't mean it won't be interesting.


3: Endless lists of lists
what it is: obviously, it is a list of lists of whatever i like.
comes from: my head, and what i write down in my listography book.
why i love it: you will now have access to whatever i'm thinking of in the organized form of lists!
why it will last: as said above, it is endless.


4: MPOTD
what it stands for: My Pick Of The Day
what it is: whatever i see, hear, or taste that i love will be recorded one at a time.
comes from: everywhere imaginable
why it will last: there is an everlasting source of discovery everywhere you look.




all this starting tomorrow!

stew is overrated

it honestly is.

grandmother (really its grandma) made her "treasured" (i use that term lightly) beef stew. yuck.

i was therefore forced to eat this because she is just so nice to make us this. now, i am not saying that she's not, but i do so terribly hate her stew.

i, as i do every time i eat it, doused it in salt and pepper so that i could not taste the tomatoes or celery, both which i cannot bear.

moving on...

i have no pictures (BIG SURPRISE!). *hit i am getting so bad at that. i do not like to write out profanities (but i do say it a shameful amount of times) so i put asterisks on at least one of the letters.

also, just some other little grammar pet peeves:

• i hate it when "like" is written out when used as a spacer


• it irritates me when someone spells something incorrectly on a sheet of paper (or anything else) then does not change it (i have way too many examples.)


• i dont read books i dont understand. (not really a grammar thing)


• incorrectly structured sentences bug me. a lot.

HAPPENINGS:

• so, as recently, twilight has been getting some major free ad space. they've been in (as far as i know):

Vanity Fair

Teen Vogue

Entertainment Weekly

an infinite # of Seventeen and CosmoGirl! issues *oooh, edward is soo hawt!* *scream**swoon*

yes, i was making fun of tweenie boppers.

• i'm going camping this weekend starting friday so dont expect many posts until after we all give Thanks, my few, if any readers.


• that's all folks!

How much do you love carrots?

I love them a lot.

So do these guys.

(thank you cupcakes and cashmere)

So, heres whats on my mind (there's quite a few):

• I am sick. I feel dreadful. I feel like a lonely low-life because the only thing i did today was go to Costco. But i got to wear my slippers in there. But i got free coffee in there. But i got delicious pumpkin cheesecake samples at least one million times even though it had that eewy orange jello junk on there (wonder where all that's going.)

• i am starting to love american apparel more and more. i REALLY love:

all the innovative costumes

the circle scarf

slim slacks

shiny leggings (in black lame)

jersey skirt

and lots more....

• my favorite drinks at starbucks are:

chai tea latte no water

peppermint white chocolate mocha

pike place

breakfast blend

signature hot chocolate

caramel frappacino

caramel macchiato

I AM SO ASKING FOR STARBUCKS GOLD FOR CHRISTMAS!

• why doesn't dog food have calories? calories are still calories no matter what they're consumed by.

• i cannot freakin wait till thanksgiving and christmas!!!

random ramblings...

i feel like shit.

i dont usually have a 'potty' (i hate that word so passionately) mouth, but i think that word describes what i feel like pretty vividly.

my nose has been running nonstop all day long and none of the classrooms had a single box of tissues.

the one good thing about today is that we had a wrap party in drama. we had block sched. today so it was xtra long.

megan's mom made her oh-so-verry-yummy cinnamon oatmeal cookies.

the best.

pretty boring.

also, my dad showed me his old holga camera that he'll be letting me use.

going to watch ugly betty, the office, and 30 rock tonight.

eating barbeque chicken sandwiches.

i wanted chinese.

tomorrow night.

starbucks tomorrow morning.

will have more soon....

post-halloween desires

yes, i do fully realize that this holiday has had its moments in the sun (really, the moon) but i am still having fantasies of costumes. as i did not dress up this year, i have had more costume cravings than should be humanly sane. today (and the past week) i have been wishing i had been a ring director. i promise danny devito, i am not copying (Danny Devito was a ring director in Big Fish, for those of you who are not totally obsessed with midgets and Tim Burton). not slacks and a top hat, but more of a fanatical ring director. im thinking tutu, crazy patterned tights, red sparkle vest, assymetrical shrunken blazer, crimed frizzy hair and a black silk top hat. just like frosty. not.
