My Lovebird Zoey and Inspirations

this is my lovely lovebird, Zoey!
she's about 5-6 years old.

isn't she cute?!

and quite the fiesty type, haha!

she growls when you mess with her toys...

dances

plays around
i just love her so much!

i ended up youtubing videos about lovebirds

in a frenzied passion,

and i found a girl who taught her lovebird some amazing

(and VERY cute)

tricks!

This Heart, It Beats [for This Blog]

http://this-heart-it-beats.blogspot.com/

another blog that makes me have a short term memory when loging onto blogger.

i'm ready to write when i get on...

...but then i check out an update or two...

then i'm like, "oh! new post from_____!"

then i'm distracted, haha!

i love emily's blog though!
one of my favorites to read,

for sure.

i love the fact that she always take these awesome pictures

for us to gaze

and be jealous at.

haha!

so true!

he blog is down-to-earth.

reminds me of emma's blog too!

(earlier post)

check BOTH of them out!

there's more to come!

No Such Classier Fruit

during one of my classes,

i was looking through a magazine

filled with food.

and i saw pictures of baked pears similar to this picture.

(which also reminded me of baked apples-pictured above)

this food just looks so elegant, sohpisticated, and warm.

like, it was meant to be the classic autum fruit food.

like, it's whole look just says, "oh yes, once i return from my day @ Tiffanys,

i think i'll prepare a baked pear on my finest china

by the fire

in my lovely rich candy apple red cashmire sweater...."

it just looks so rich.

eye candy for me.

am i the only one that feels this way about baked pears??

Ohmigosh! I LOVE the Blogs I Follow!

i was planning on taking a nap before work,

but we've just got home not too long ago.

no nap for me...

oh well.

i've just had this rush of things to write about!

rush i tell you!

when getting on blogger,

i usually check out the newest updates of my favorite blogs.

so that's what i did as soon as i got home...

and i see this beautiful owl necklace

as a thumbnail picture from emma's lovely blog:

http://beautifulcornersfilled.blogspot.com/

i-almost-passed-out...

i-love-owls.

very. much.

and she's giving out this golden owl necklace/clock!

...do you have any clue how hard it is to find owl jewelry?!

...i have to make a fricken owl necklace in jewelry!

i like my owl piece i'm making,

but emma's giveaway runs laps around my pityful thing.

what is a better time than now to write about emma and how much i love her blog??

i promise this isn't a suck-up scandal.

but i was planning on writing about all the bloggers' posts i just

cannot wait to read!

so i'll start on emma's now,

since she's made my heart skip a beat! haha!

her posts really did catch my eyes,

she became an inspiration for me

with photos,

her amazing writing style (jealous!),

hence my new leaf-turning...

and her thrift finds!

makes me wanna hunt in thrift shops

once i have moolah in my pokemon wallet.

her blogs are amazing though.

despite her giveaway.

if i comment on about five of your posts

on my first visit to your blog,

then you have won my heart.

5 Things

i haven't done a, "5 Things" in a looong while!
here are a few more things to get to know me better:

1. i looove buttered pasta-cooked angelhair with butter and that popcorn butter i mentioned was heaven many posts back
2. the elderly tug @ my heartstrings
3. i love the smell of fresh soap (like original dove or leaver 2000)
4. i keep recipes everywhere to someday try
5. i cannot go without lip product-i CANNOT-NOT-STAND when my lips are chapped! P-E-R-I-O-D.

i've gotta act fast for now.

my mind's bursting with blog topics!

Some Day...Call Me Jimmi

someday,

my pictures will be on this level.

the fashion pictures on lookbook.nu

are like art!

once i start taking awesome pictures

like this and others on lookbook,

i'm definitely making an alter ego name for myself:

Jimmi

i don't know if i had mentioned it earlier.

but that would mean so much if i could get up to that level

in the art industry (personally)-

especially with something i admire so much!

Brain Fart

well this sucks...

i'm out of things to write about!
maybe because it's getting late...

i don't know.

but i do know that it sure does suck!

i wanna show people what i can bring to the table!

...and as of now, it's not much, huh?

can't think of polyvore sets i'm inspired to make...

don't have time to "photoshop" pictures @ home...

ugh.

i'm just gonna add blogs i read and call it a night.

well, night.

Outfit Gaga

kinda fuzzy...

sorry!

i saw this outfit in seventeen magazine,

and was like, "i must put this together!"

i just need to find me a BRIGHT plaid top...

and i want a zebra scarf cause zebra's my signature print, haha!

it's hard to see,

but the girl has a studded purse.

must-have!

i could live without the high-wasted shorts.

...high-wasted anything for that matter!

i'd just swap that for...ripped skinny jeans

(black, dark, or light)

ahhh yes...

i went gaga for it.

I'm Ready for Ink Right Noooow.... I'm Ready for Ink Right Noooow

the time is coming near

and i'm panicing!

i don't know what i want a tattoo of anymore,

or where to place it.

of course, i want the tattoo to be meaningful...

but cute and unique too!

i'd also like a peek-a-boo tattoo sometime down the line.

my tatted role models are Angelina J. and Rihanna.

especially Rihanna!

like the picture above??

i thought about getting a vertical tattoo along my side like that,

but from end of ribs, toward beginning of my hip.

i think that would be sexy...

but what to put?!

i thought about japanese of some sort that says, "living jewel", "gentle spirit", "sweet soul"

i don't know...

somthing along those lines!

and i've also thought of a pokeball (and MAYBE one or two pokemon)

because i truly think i've been brainwashed by them!

it's a huge part of my childhood.

and definitely more on the unique side, hahaha!

overall, if i like my first tattoo (whether: foot, behinf ear, finger, wrist, side, or hips...maybe one day all of these if i really like my tattoos!)

then i'd be more than happy to add an addition!

i think this one is cute!

very sophisticated...

but i don't wanna feel like a copy cat.

and ya know...the whole society thing too...

jobs/careers....yeah.

the finger, "shhh..." is genius!

but celebs start copying it!

and i definietly don't wanna be a follower!

i do love it though...

and thinking down the long run...

a, "on-top-of-shoulder" tattoo of sorts

(if i end up really diggin' being inked)

i'd definitely get something up there!

i think as long as they trail, and are vertical or horizontal small tats...

i'd be very happy with the outcomes i get.

Not Asking for Much

it's ridiculous how a simple day can make me happy.

don't get me wrong-shopping sprees and elegant restaurants are all fine and dandy.

but simple days can be just right for me-especially if it goes right.

i'd start my day getting up in the morning and turning my boom box on
to some crazy 1940s jazz.

you know, when it's only a sax playing

and symbols being rubbed together.

very...blues like and calm.

i'd wear something saturday-worthy.

like short shorts...which wouldn't really be too short on me.

due to my arm and leg ratio, I can't wear almost any type of short

but bremuda shorts @ school due to the fingertip rule.

bleh.

so that weekend i'd let loose.

try to be comfortable in some shorts

(since i rarely wear them).

with a long-sleeved top to balance out my attire, haha!

get a few to go cups of Dulce de Leche creamer

and head out to the used bookstore.

in the mornings, they have three different types of coffee brewing.

and it smelled sooo good while i was trying to choose a book for english!

quite distracting.

so i'd grab me a cup of joe

once i sat down with a few book nominees
and choose one or two to buy

based on reading the first chapter.

then,

for breakfast i'd head across the street to Original House of Pancakes.

and buy some milk, pancakes with strawberry syrup and whipped cream

(yummy!!!)

and some bacon.

their breakfast makes my day!

just recently, i've started mapping out places to prowl

for nifty thrift-type shops.

in my area.

because the more blogs i read,

the more i hear about amazing finds.

so i'm about to find some treasure for myself
in second-hand shops.

there's one right next to the bookstore i haven't looked in yet.

so i'd shop around in there.

now, just a guesstimate...

breakfast........$15.00
book(s)........$9.00

thrift shopping........$30.00 (?)

total: $54

not a bad day @ ALL!

might even head to my local sushi bar with some peeps, huh?

Pictures Included

of course,

when i have all the time in the world

on someone else's computer...

i don't have my USB cable

NOR

my book of blog topics i've been jotting down.

perfect.

they will come though,

not to worry!

You Wanna Stand on Your Tippy Toes in Ballerina Shoes THAT Bad?!

i saw these on ANTM last week.

they were white though.

same rediculous 90 degree angle "heel"...

but just in white.

the girl who had to pull them off

inspired Chanel Iman

(!!!)

her picture was AMAZING.

i guess the positive attitude,

and courage to wear these heels

really paid off

to inspire a supermodel!

Thanks Y!A, for the Bittersweet Egg in My Face!

yahooanswers

is like a life line for me.

period.

hahaha, no lie!

that's seriously where i find most of my recipes,

reviews...anything just about.

my boyfriend can predict when i'm about to mention it.

that's how dependent i am on it, haha!

well, i used it for an exciting purpose early this morning...

i got into the lookbook community!

all i did was type in, "recent invite code lookbook.nu"

and someone gave it out for the world to see...

so i took it and rand with it.

used it,

and got, "congratulations! you're in the lookbook community!"

i got SO excited!

typing MY OWN "about me"

and MY OWN title for fututre pictures...

...made my heart flutter

*sniff sniff*

now mind you...

this is where the bittersweet pasrt comes into play...

i am SO excited to even have the opprotunity to post on there.

(and have an easier access to hyping things and favoriting

without it feeling like i'm on the outside looking in)

but i just googled, "lookbook.nu"

and just looking @ those pictures gave me literal chills.

i am not that good.

i am an ameture.

i am aware of this-

and the fact that i have B-I-G shoes to fill.

...this scares me.

i mean, i like getting inspired...

and taking pictures

and editing them (thankyouphotoshopclass!).

it's just that i think they'll stand out like a sore neon thumb.

soooo...

i'm keeping my account on the DL.

cause i have plenty of good finds i'd love to share!

...just not right now.

not too confident

to be standing with the big kids

on that site.

i am grateful for it though.

i'll just stick with my blog for now until those photos are ready, okay?

coolbeans.

Cell Update

i have been starting a lot of drafts in my photoshop class & have pictures to edit! can't wait to actually get through it COMPLETELY though. later!

Cell Update

i wanna blog so bad! but everything is stoping me from doing so...i hate that all of my readers have to go through this BS. i'm not @ my best potential.

Eat Your Heart Out Dakota Fanning

believe it or not,

this is the girl from

"Orphan"

i can't remember what started it...

...but i reeeeally wanna see the movie again...

...NOW!

i researched more on the little fireball.

her real name is: Isabelle Fuhrman

and no, she is not some foreign Russian actress,

she's American.

(i know, amazing accent, right?!)

and she's only 12!

i have fell in love with her!

she's SOOO passionate about her work as an actress.

i looked up some interviews of her on youtube.

it's like night and day.

you see? actors and actresses that

completely

become someone else in a film

or on stage

steal my whole entire heart.

it really inspires me to want to become an actress.

...although i've never acted before...

...because i become a puddle in front of people...

(fail.)

but it is a beautiful thing.

yes yes.

Isabelle Fuhrman

is up there on my favorite acting preformances

along with Heath Ledger

playing the Joker.

it still blows my mind even to this day!

good job girl,

keep it up!

i'll be waiting.

Cell Update

i would write a blog right about now, while i'm waiting for my ramen to cool off... but mom's nagging me to death. so it's not gonna happen soon. ugh.

So This is Where it Begins

wow...

how long has it been??

over a week?

thank you all that follow!

my follower count has been increasing,

and i really appreciate the readers!

especially since i haven't been giving you anything new to read in awhile...

it's gotten to the point that so much has been going on,

i've had to resort to writing blog posts in photoshop...

which is what i am doing now, haha!

SOONER OR LATER, i'll be writing a wrap-up.

i've wrote just about a page of things to eventually write about.

so there shall be fresh stuff.

fo sho.

peace for now!

xoxo

P.S.- the picture is of a falafel, a story i was to write last wednesday!  more to come!

now, back to photoshop.

toodles!

P.S.

the Blogger birthday cake makes me hungry everytime i look @ it!

i don't know why...

but cartoon pictures on yellow cakes with chocolate icing

always seem to have an ideal taste to me.

even though it is just a cartoon.

haha i always have this same idea of how it would taste if it were real!

haha, i don't know.

i'm goofy,

but it's the truth.

okay, NOW goodnight all.

got in too late to tell the story of my day @ work. no worries though! i WILL get to it and i must say, i'm quite blessed. note to self: falafel, DQ, puppies...

i hope this works...it's mobile blogger!

Turning a New Leaf

yay over 90 posts!

thanks everyone who follows and reads!

i'm thinking about making some changes with my blog though...

like, my writing style.

i want it to be intriguing,

and it's not.

well, in my eyes it's not.

so i say it's time for a little leaf-turning.

time to change ny writing style and everything.

i'm even gonna be a beast and try to make a kickass banner!

woot woot!

wish me luck on this blog project!

...aaand on getting up tomorrow for school.

*yikes*

self note: STILL need to write about work, falafels, and puppies...

okay, i'm about to grab some milk and a chunky dark chocolate and pecan cookie.

then hittin' the sack.

toodles all.

give me feedback whether or not my writing seems different.

better or worse.

thanks,

night!

Charlie Brown "Hey Ya" Remix!

if you haven't seen this...

....then you've been missing out!

i love this video!
it's the perfect remixed video!!

♥

Seth Green: : Leave Chris Crocker Alone!!!

this is a parody of that Chris Crocker guy that told everyone on youtube to leave Brittney alone!

it's hilarious.

and so is the show, "The Soup"!

they make fun of celebs, TV shows, people, and news...

kinda like BMZ but funnier @ times.

especially the host, Joel Mchale!

LOVE him!

Oh! One More Thing...Item of the Week!

my lemon earrings!
they used to be my mom's.

but they're mine now!

i'm actually wearing them in my default picture right now.

makes me think of summer

which makes me think of lemonade!

yummy!

zesty, right?

Continued...DQ, Tailgate, AND A Sprinkle of Doc Martens

hey all!

these are the last of my pictures i wish to share...

...for now, haha.

so these are pictures from the tailgate!

usually the school-ran tailgates SUCK.

like, "hey I'm the priciapal-wanna hot dog?"

then you dance

and sit

and call it a night if you're not going to the game...

*yawn*

but THIS year,

they had

caramel apples,

chips and pretzels,

lemonade shakeups,

hot dogs,

hamburgers,

DJing from our radio station,

competions like hoola hooping and dance marathon,

charity money-rasing,

face painting,

and dressing up in a super hero theme for the game later on that night...

ALL of that AND the game for a measley $5!!!

i was blown-a-way.

it was SO much more fun than past tailgates though.

ESPECIALLY with Tracy T. there! She MADE the tailgate!

along with awesome Lindsay G.

they're both awesome!

loved it,

and the game.

never again will i stand with the juniors section though.

sooo irritating!

it was all fun though!

now about DQ :

i'm working two days next week!

my first job-i'm pretty optimistic,

but i guess that'll pass.

i don't know though,

it IS moolah!

i was told not to be discouraged

if the work becomes monotonous.

cleaning bathrooms, dipping dilly bars, putting ice cream sandwitches together...

but i'm pumped!

whoo-hoo!

Doc Martens:

now i KNOW i could get them cheaper if they were used...

but I wanna breathe life into them.

a new pair just screaming to be broken in.

and have a story to tell,

just like a diary...

...but w/shoes.

that's what i think will count in their long lives with me.

once i get my hands ont them!

♥

okay, i'm done w/personals for now

haha.

Back on Track #1-Praying Mantis

i named him Casio,

due to his constant attacks to my camera he attempted

wheneve i flashed the camera in his face, hahaha!

isn't he tiny and cute?!

watching him hop onto my CASIO camera

(hence his name)

and seeing him follow my grandpa's bright orange shirt with his head!

get this:

he wouldn't get in the grass,

so i set him down into a bush

and the next day he was there!

and even the FOLLOWING night,

eating a fruit fly on the porch.

it was a fufilling moment

...moments, haha!

i just LOVE praying mantises!

LOVE!

ahhh...

Oldies Toys: Hit Clips!

alrighty...

who remembers these??

lol these things were HUGE back in the day!

it was SO half-a**ed...

yet it sold! hahaha!

only ONE ear bud,

30 seconds of a song...

i think they made new extended versions sooner or later, right?

but yeah,

it went from the micro mini,

to little boom boxes,

and even a robot!

that "danced" to the music...

(i had them all, haha).

crazy toy though,

whoo N'Sync!

You Shall Soon Be MINE

Dr. Marten Inspired by minimouse2105 featuring Monsoon accessories



Autum and Martens by minimouse2105 featuring Vince

sooo,

i made these sets on polyvore...

i would SO wear this stuff!

...just a few outfits i'm thinking up

for when i can FINALLY get my hands on a pair of

dr. martens!

since i have a job now,

(don't worry Mike, i'll turn in my papers ASAP!)

sooner or later be able to pay for them.

and once i can, i'll start with a black pair

and build up from there

with a white pair and a red pair...

yes, these ACTUALLY came with pictures (the sets) from lookbook.nu,

but they didn't show up right.

ugh.

yes, YES muwahahahaha!!!

*ehem*

can't wait!

they were made to be broken in by me!

Friday Night Lights and Such-To Be Continued...

there's been SO MUCH going on the past two to three days...

i have SO much to share!
i've been just jotting things down until i could find the TIME to talk about it.

...i still kinda can't,

because i have to upload my pictures from the camera

so you can be visually amazed while reading, haha.

so here's a quick recap of things i can remember but need pictures for until next time:

i got a job @ DQ-FINALLY A JOB,

the tiny praying mantis with lots of moxie that has STAYED by the house for three days straight,

our first homegame plus the BESt tailgate party by the school EVER,

this holiday's plans,

ummm...

i KNOW there's more...

i WILL remember.

until then, i'll write about things i DO have pictures for!
