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!

*Sigh*

so yesterday was pretty flipping amazing.

but it's SUPER late...

should've BEEN in bed!

but i have a buttload of work to do.

i'll guess i'll just have to race through it all the rest of this week...

an econ test today, a HIGHLY detailed paper due thursday,

art project, art club entry project...

once friday comes along.

i'll be hyped for more than just the tailgate and 1st homegame...

What the Heck is a Hookah??

oh yeah,

P.S.- i found out that what the caterpillar smokes in cinderella is called a hookah!

some kids in my honors english class were talking about it.

and i was like, "is this some smoking craze??"

i googled it and found it.

i saw some kids on facebook use it.

apparentley a lot of people use it in my peer group.

well, @ least it's legal i guess...

=/

i don't smoke,

but i found it intriguing, haha!

learned something new today.

what the hookah was and who uses it.

YES! I Like Yogurt!

so instead of talking about my blah monday,

where i did absolutely nothing productive...

i'm going to talk about yogurt instead.

believe it or not,

i'm one of those weirdos that wants to like to eat something

even though her tastebuds disagree with that particular food.

i don't know why, but when a certain food attracts me,

and i wanna eat it?

but i don't like it?

it'll frustrate me, haha!

i always think of yogurt being a healthly little snack...

but i've always HATED it.

i've tried and tried...

i just don't like it...

BUT, since i don't like fruit

(which sucks cause i also think it looks so neat when someone can bring in an orange or a bag of blueberries and just dig in to something so healthy and enjoy it so much!)

i have to @ least like yogurt.

i tried dannons...

...bleh.

then i got yoplait in harvest peach

and took it home and froze it.

it was delicious!

i'd perfer it creamy though, as opposed to ice-y.

it was good though.

and i looked on the site, and the cancer caps

(where you mail in the tops to donate cash for breast cancer?)

is coming up verry soon-sometime this fall.

i killed two birds with one stone!
ha!

i'm a champion!

now, i must go.

i need to get SOME work done!

as well as eating my kosher dog with chips and dip.

now, the dip i use is philly cream cheese called, "onions and chives"

it's SOOO good with ruffles!

sooooo creamy...

yummy!

does anyone else use this as a chip dip??

well, toodles!

night.

Get Down Oriental Dude!

hahaaha!

i love this video!

i've seen this asian man more and more lately in commercials.

it's about time his hilarious butt get out there some more!

this it the first commercial i can remember him doing-

loved it!

raise the roof, raise the roof!

WEEKENDWRAPUP!

my head was in the clouds this weekend.

nothing much happened...

i went to the mall looking like a bum.

cause i thought we were just going to my aunt's house.

guess not.

oh, and of course, i saw a bunch of people i knew!

naturally.

hahaha!

got invited to my first slumber party in YEEEARS.

can't wait.

i believe it's next weekend.

i haven't hung out with friends in about a year or two.

sad i know, haha.

let's see...i told you guys about falling in love with the two pairs of shoes...

and on friday my boyfriend's team won against several odds.

yay!

get to see my lovely boy play for the first time this season

@ his first home game.

and it's with a top ranked school.

they're probably thinking, "gulp!"

but i have faith!

oh, and i got glass stuck in my foot on friday as well.

i'm okay now of course.

it's all good.

then my mind's been racing.

like CRAZY!

like this:

" i miss Jules (my boyfriend) this weekend, it's so chilly out we could do something cozy i wonder when we'll get to do our apple pie-baking and scary movie/video game home date? it'll be so fun and the whether ugh chilly and sucky that means fried apples, apple cider, hot cocoa yummy! it'll be a fun autum geez i need some moolah to get everything i wanna obtain in life i wonder if i'll ever get that tattoo or a simple rook piercing? that would be lovely i need to get my blog going too need more followers! but how? and i'm missing my boyfriend again-need to go to his homegames and have breakfast @ original house of pancakes food food food food food food yummy! i want to cook now and play guitar hero but no one will play with me! oh a slumber party, hope i have fun i'm hyped...."

so yeah, along the lines of that ALLLLL weekend!

haha.

okay, i'm done.

one more video and i'm gone.

and now monday's approaching.

ta da!

SMOSH Rocks-Pokemon Theme

probably after this

i'll post one more for the night

and do a wrap-up of my weekend.

and thus, start the week over later tonight.

this one has over 7million hits!
i love this video-these guys make me laugh!

i really want one of their tshirts!

but it brings back memories too,

of still having: the pokedex, that same hat, the same pikachu, pokeball.

i'm a pokemon maniac!

enjoy!:

Pokemon Parody: Teh Pokemon

another video i'd like to share

is a pokemon parody.

for both pokemon lovers and haters alike!

it's one of those videos that are so stupid, that it's funny.

SORTA like charlie the unicorn

i personally think this is funnier though.

i found this one around 2 or 3 years ago:

Spice Up

so since things have been so

blah

i decided to look through my "favoirtes" on youtube,

and share it with my readers!

some are popular,

others are my own versions of funny.

while others are Joel Michale-related from the show,

"Soup"

which i love because they make fun of celebs and reality shows!

a good weekly laugh.

the first laugh you'll recieve is this video my cousin sent me MONTHS ago.

of a man snorting wasabi:

Murky Monday & Rewind

okay,

so monday's coming up.

not really prepared haha!

that show, "modern familes" is coming on soon!

and sooner or later ANTM w/the shorties!

otherwise, i didn't really get to much this weekend...

i got quite an arm workout earlier this week.

i decided to make alton brown's version of hollandaise sauce.

took about 30-45 minutes of nonstop stirring...

ugh!

then sawing in jewelry, grinding away @ my viola in orchestra...

so much tricep and bicep workouts!

i meant to write about how a few weekends ago i fed the ducks.

and how everyone should give it a go.

it's fun to watch the ducks,

most of the time i talk to them, haha!

well, that's all for now.

HOPEFULLY i can write more later!

cause i have a few more things to say.

for now, i've got to get ready for school.

bleh...
