Hands Open

hello. so i felt like talking about myself. (it is a blog :P) i thought i'd tell y'all some stuff that i love. i can't go a couple of hours without my i-pod. literally, i will start going crazy. music is the world to me. i love to sing, and secretly i dream of being a singer, but i only sing around people i know well. i love cats more than i love dogs, but that could just be because i grew up with them. i think the best sound in the entire world is the sound of a cat's purr traveling through the springs in your mattress as you fall asleep. i can identify which of my cats is which by the jingle of their bell before they're even in the same room. i like to go for rides and take pictures of the sun. everyone i know jokes that i have cat-dar. if they're a cat within 500 yards i'll find it and become best friends with it. my friends also joke that i have car-dar because i can find our car in a crowded parking lot without any trouble. i like german chocolate, and i adore drinking lemonade. i pretty much always order the same things every time i go to restaurants.i secretly love s-car-go but i feel really bad about it because i had a pet snail who was my best friend for a few years. i think my brother is the most brilliant person in the world, even though he doesn't really talk to me. i have a knack for writing songs, and i love glitterly lotion. old quilts are the best thing on any day, and i sleep under a million blankets even if it's 100 degrees outside. i love flannel nightgowns even though most people think they're for old ladies, and i can't function unless i sleep twice a day- once at night and once in the afternoon. that's a little about me.

Watch the sunrise, and fill our souls up

hello. i really needed a break from homework so i decided to blog. i just finished doing 100 bullet points on a chapter in my history book, which was extremely monotonous and boring. then i went to the store and got some mango lemonade and dark chocolate reeses. kind of random, but we had no food and i hadn't had dinner.. what else am i supposed to eat at 9 o'clock at night? i've been taking pictures of the sunset recently, which is tons of fun :) i love the way the sun can make trees seem like silhouettes, and clouds look like wisps of lace. i haven't done anything spectacularly special lately, i've just been hanging out and listening to music :) on monday i am going to an advanced screening of beastly. ya know how sometimes "they" have crowds of people come watch movies a month or so before it's released so they can poll the audience and see if they should change anything? well that audience this time is me and my friends, so it's gonna be fun :) supposedly we're supposed to get a big snow storm tomorrow. i'm half YAY and half NAY. I love the snow, and i'm not quite ready to give up my long sleeved shirt collection for the year, but i am really tired of my school being cold. of course, i'll be cursing the heat in a few months because my school has no air conditioning... that will be fun. today in judo, we sword fought! it was really fun but the helmet i was wearing was like a giant fish bowl. i just realized that i have not updated my "weeklies" in over a week.. *gasp* but i'm far too sleep deprived and lazy to do it now. something random about me: when i get sleep deprived, i get really hyper. so today was an... interesting day at school. that's all for me today, i need to fall deep into a dream lull to remove the bags and purple thumbprints from under my eyes...
until next time:
LISTENING TO: sing- my chemical romance

WISHING: i was at the beach
CD I WANT RIGHT NOW: begin to hope- regina spektor

Chocolate

well hiya. right now i'm listening to chocolate by snow patrol, while eating chocolate. i'm not sure whether i find this ironic or amazing. when i was little i was obsessed with foxes. the picture of today's blog is an adorable fox that represents my slumber state of this weekend. prior to today that is, my brother woke me up today. this annoys me. i can't even begin to guess how many days i've tip-toed around the house trying not to wake him up, but he was all- GET UP (insert my full name here but i'm not blogging my full name because you never know what creepers are out there :)- and he opened my door and my cat came bounding in my room and sat on me. fantabulous. i think he just wanted me to clean the house before my parents got home. I'm like HELLO? YOU ARE JUST AS CAPABLE OF CLEANING AS I AM? but whatever. we got a HUGE snowstorm and that was awesome. i was driving home and all of the sudden- BAM- blizzard white out conditions. i was like.... um... i should probably head for my house. then i had to go down the steep hill to my house at 2 miles an hour and i was still sliding. it was bizarre! i am in the mood for bones today, maybe i'll have an ALL DAY BONES MARATHON! that sounds awesome to me! this weekend was a 4 day weekend for me which was awesome! basically, all my plans for this weekend were canceled so i sat around and did nothing- which was actually really relaxing and nice- so it ended up being a great weekend :) today i must do homework tho, which is never fun when you're all in i'm relaxed mode. well, that's all i have to say for today
until next time,
LISTENING TO: Grazed Knees- Snow Patrol
FEELING: Kinda hyper
WISHING: It was summer vacation!

Here's my formal invitation

hello everyone! it's been a while since i blogged, but i'm finally not sick! it's been such nice weather here lately that on sunday i just rolled down my windows, sat in the sun and blasted relient k, letting the sun saturate each and every strand of my hair. it was heavenly. on to the what's new? portion of my blog. since i last blogged, the grammy's happened. florence + the machine should have won best new artist, but other than that i was pretty happy with the awards. for the most part. the pretty reckless's new album, light me up came out. it's really good. i do have to say, slightly mature content so if your ears are easily scar-able don't check it out. if not, youtube it and tell me what you think :) on even more spectacular news, maggie stiefvater released the prologue of forever. it. was. amazing. i cried when i found out sam was leaving paper cranes in the trees. i picked out what songs i think should be used for what scenes in the movie when it is made. another amazing thing that happened was the ocean grove e.p. was released and it is AMAZING. my favorite so ng is we're still breathing, but i also love grab your coat.
here is one of my doodles from the past few days that are related to shiver/linger/forever.



:) now here is a list of a few songs i think should be used in the shiver/linger/forever scenes.
wash away- matt costa- when grace is going to beck's alone, without sam
hide and seek- imogen heap- car crash scene
close your eyes- young love- driving to duluth candy store
star mile- joshua radin- heading to duluth in linger
the ice is getting thinner- death cab for cutie- very end of linger. not telling you what scene that is if you haven't read it yet.
that's all i have to say today :)
until next time..
LISTENING TO: get your coat- ocean grove
FEELING: slightly nauseous
WISHING: i didn't have school tomorrow

Love the way you lie.

hello everyone. i've been reeeaaallllyyy sick lately so i've spent the past few days in bed buried under a mound of tissues. but guess what! i felt well enough today to venture to the downstairs of my house with a new box of tissues, some ginger ale, and a paper bag for used tissues after i filled the trashcan next to the computer desk. it's been a blurred past few days, because mostly i've been out of it and sleeping. also, my taste buds are all out of whack. today, i had so me coffee and it tasted like toothpaste to me. it was a little weird. anyway, this blog won't be too long because i feel another nap coming on, but i just wanted to share with you an amazing cover of love the way you like (part II) by ariana grande. a. i think ariana grande has an amazing voice, b. i love this song, c. i love the way she covered this song. so, take a listen :-)

until next time...
FEELING: SICKKKKK
