Broken Flowers

today i went out to lunch with my mom. There was a guy there who kept trying to get the waiter to change the T.V above their table to a sports game so he could watch it. i have a question: why would you go out to lunch just to watch T.V? isn't that some sort of blatant diss to your family? isn't that just like saying i know i'm with you but i'd rather be watching T.V? it kind of pissed me off. then he took his contact out and started licking it. it kinda freaked me out. but hey, i don't know how contacts work. tonight was a chick flick night. i really needed to cry, so i watched the last song. it made me bawl, basically. i love that movie. even though miley cyrus is in it, i think she actually did a decent job on it. the book is way better tho, if you've never read it. nicholas sparks is amazing. everybody always asks why i read that "chick lit crap" which kinda makes me angry. why should they care what books i read? it's my choice. anyway, then i watched the proposal, which is also a great movie. who doesn't like sandra bullock? now i'm watching blue crush, which i've never seen before. and, saturday night live. i adore saturday night live.
that's all i have to say for now, because i want to watch snl :P

well hello. so, let's get right to the good stuff, shall we? the third book in the hush,hush series has a new title. it is now named silence, and i have to say i love the title. it comes out in october, and you can bet i'll be counting down the days until i can have it firmly in my hands. maggie steifvater (author of my favorite series, the mercy falls trilogy) is not only releasing forever july 12th, but she has a secret, untitled novel coming out this october. i can't wait for that! it seems like this is the year for books. new sarah dessen, new gayle freeman, 2 new maggie stiefvater books, and a new becca fitzpatrick :) not to mention, that in a mere 19 days the snippit of forever is being released. this all makes me quite happy. it seems i have come out of my funk, my rants, and my anxious nature for the week. sometimes all it takes is a good book and singing at the top of my lungs to clear my mind. almost. bones is new tonight, and it is supposed to be a great episode. there's a new serial killer, and he is supposed to be the "anti-booth" sort-of how the gravedigger was the "anti-bones." excited. on another note, i am going to dye my hair again soon. this time, i'm going to go a more vivid red. the red i have now is nice, but it only turns unnaturally red and copper-ish in the sunlight. so, back to the hairdresser with me. This photo is my inspiration this time around.




i kept trying to find a picture of the perfect color, and this is what i selected. i'll wait for my roots to show a little more before i go in, but i'm looking forward to the new color.
that's all for me, for now.

Darling, I miss you.

hello everyone. this week is spirit week at school, so i got to wear my PJ's to school yesterday. today was nerd day. over the weekend a bunch of my friends and i got together and made shirts that said .... NERD. so, i was a MUSIC NERD, obviously. it was fun. i put lyrics and songs on the front, lyrics on the sleeves, and bands on the back. my friends were a tech nerd, anime nerd, math nerd, and art nerd. then, we all wore 3D glasses with the lenses out, so they were just big black glasses that looked incredibly awesome. i also wore my hair in lopsided ponytails, with mismatching scrunchies. tomorrow is blast from the past, and i have no idea what i am going to wear. i might wear my dad's old grateful dead t-shirt. :) apparently my teachers all decided that nerd day meant -let's assign lots of homework- day. my english teacher has some idea that if he assigns us an essay and calls it a mini essay, he can give us one day to get it done. his expectations are extremely high, and now i have to write a multi page mini essay overall, this week has been hard. so far this has been pretty much the hardest week i've had for non-school reasons in a while. plus now there's a thing about germs on the tv and it's freaking me out. sigh. i really need a vacation. from life. i need to be able to go lie on a beach, all by myself and soak up the sun. that's what i would love right now, but it is freezing cold and snowing outside. not that i don't appreciate the snow, i do. technically i live in a desert, so the snow= water and water= no drought this summer, which rarely happens, that we DON'T have to conserve water and let our lawns go brown. it's kind of ironic, the whole we get TONS of snow yet we live in a desert thing. but, hey that's just how it is. i got sick at school today, and had to walk home. which wouldn't have been a big deal, except for the fact that i had no jacket and i kept falling down on the slippery, non-plowed roads. which is also, ironic considering the snow plows wake me up ever morning. sorry, i'm a little bitter today, so that will be my mini rant. I re-read linger- again. i love that book SO much. favorite series? the mercy falls trilogy. i can not WAIT for valentines day when the excerpt from forever is released. :) something that i mentioned, a few posts back was the pretty reckless's album, light me up not being available in the u.s yet. well, it was announced that it is being released february 8th! this excites me. if you're looking for a great song, or two, check out my "lyric of the week" song and my "song of the week." if you really wanted, you could also check out my "album of the week" because they are all amazing :) i guess, perhaps i should start on my "mini-essay" and my chem homework... so until next time...

scribble out the truth

well hello again. so chuck returned last night and it was an amazing episode! it was such a charah episode so that made me happy! but then it had a really sad ending.. and well... if you haven't seen it yet i'm not giving more away. basically it was just awesome. while on the topic of tv, this thursday bones returns and it's supposed to be THE brennan/booth episode :) soooo excited! so if you watch bones be sure NOT to miss this episode. today was the first day of my new term and it was strange. a bunch of my classes changed, and my friends aren't in a lot of my classes now. it's been unusually warm here (for january) and that's made me happy, it's been nice to have a break from the constant bitter cold. i really want to know when the pretty reckless's new cd, light me up comes out! it's been out in the u.k for a few months now, and i'm debating just ordering it off of amazon because this is getting ridiculous. i really want to start a new art project i thought of, but i don't have everything i need for it so i can't start yet. this is frustrating me. maybe i'll be able to find a notebook buried deep in some of my old school stuff.. i'll post pictures when i start working on it. well, i guess that's it for now...

I so hate consequences

i had a four day weekend this weekend, which makes me extremely happy. especially considering how hard last week was. it's a new term, which means i switch some classes. most of all, i'm excited for my psychology class. i think it will be awesome :) i haven't really done much this weekend, just relaxed, drove and hung out with berry. we made CAN'T STOP DANCING! shirts which are truly, amazing. if you've ever read keeping the moon by sarah dessen, a shirt norman wears in it says CAN'T STOP DANCING! and it cracked us up, and instantly became a inside joke between berry and i. so there you go, i have a CAN'T STOP DANCING! shirt. i got a really comfy new purple shirt today. just thought i'd share that. also, i think i'll be re-dying my hair red soon. brighter, more firetruck red this time :) so some exciting news. sarah desesn has a new book called what happened to goodbye? coming out. already preordered, don't worry :) also, gayle freeman wrote a sequel to if i stay, which i had no idea about. both of these books come out this spring, which makes me extremely happy and excited. i've been freaking myself out a little too much lately. you know all of those ghost story shows? well i watch them. and i adore them, but i get totally freaked out. once you've had a ghost encounter you tend to believe in these things ;) not that i don't think some of it is staged or just a lie but still. these shows fascinate me. i guess that's all i have to say for now! oh, i updated the weekly's on my blog, so check those out :)
until next time.

What the Hell?

So, avril lavigne's new single came out today. it's called what the hell and i love it. it's pretty great. so, you should check it out. plus, the phrase what the hell just sorta sums up my week. i'm super streessed because it's end of term, but i 'm dealing with it. today i went to starbucks with my mom and got some hot cocoa and a red velvet cupcake. for those of you who are wonder, the cocoa was great (duh) but the cupcake was meh. the cupcake itself tasted like cardboard. the frosting was delicious tho. for those of you who, you know really care about my obscure quest for the perfect cupcake. and i found it. THE PERFECT CUPCAKE, that is. at a little cupcake shop called diva's. they have these amazing lemon and cream cheese cupcakes that i could literally live off of. but they don't make them anymore. so i have to go through the search of once again finding the perfect cupcake. so guess what. maggie stiefvater is releasing a excerpt from FOREVER on VALENTINES DAY!!! oh my god. i am so excited! i can not wait for not only that, but the release of it! and also, sarah dessen's new book, WHAT HAPPENED TO GOODBYE.super excited. :D well, that's a bright spot on this dreary week. I suppose i should try to numb my headache and fall asleep at some point.. so until next time..

The New Year

so this is the new year... and i don't feel any different... the first lines of the chorus of the new year by death cab for cutie :) the first song i listened to in 2011. i kicked of my 2011 by snowshoeing at midnight and then promptly smacking my head hard on a tv in a truly me fashion. so far 2011 has been very hectic with the whole end-of-term-next-week-and-all thing. i think it's ridiculous that they bring us back from winter break only to have 2 weeks left in the term. it just feels frivolous and strange. and what was up with my winter break? some kids are still on their winter break and i didn't get out until late? just strange. christmas was good. i got some comfy and awesome stuff, but my favorite thing of all was the psych bobble heads. if you don't know what psych is, then you need to jump on the psych band wagon right now- you won't regret it. if you do, and you don't know what the bobble heads are, look it up on usa network.com right now. i couldn't be more happy that today is a friday. i feel so exhausted and in need of a break even though i've been back in school for only a week. this also appears to be a week for emotional breakdowns. not only a very hard day for me a few days ago, but for everyone around me seems to be bawling out of nowhere. so 2011 hasn't kicked of with a bang, but i'm sure that it'll even out. 2011 will be a great year. *knock on wood* with that said, i'm getting a killer migrane and i hear a good book calling...
