i just beat another level of Sly Cooper 2: Band of...
can you say - gaming queen?
just kidding. my whole family’s making fun of me. my dad was all, “what are you playing?”
“sly cooper!”
“what?”
“sly cooper!”
“and how old are you?”
love you, too, dad.

how i will be spending my new year's eve.
and it’s not with any hard-partying plans. at eleven thirty this morning, i woke up, put a blanket on my brother’s friend who’d fallen asleep on the floor, showered, then checked movie times. then, i took my brother, his friends, and my two stepcousins to see Avatar, which, btw, was freaking amazing. epic is the only word i can think of to describe it. we went to whataburger,...
Say Anything - Good Charlotte
two days ago, i took my PS2 game, Sly Cooper 2: Band of Thieves, over to my grandparants’ house so i would have something to play besides NCAA 08, NCAA 10, Tiger Woods 10, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, and Modern Warfare 2. i don’t like games like that. i like rated E games that involve talking animals and lame background stories :) anyhoo, i’ve never beat Sly Cooper 2...
hm.
according to my calculations (i really want to see Sherlock Holmes), i’ve been posting all my randomness for just over ten months now. cool, huh?
so it's almost 2010,
and i was really considering - as in, i’d typed out a whole intro for - a best of 2009 list, inspired by jenny. but i couldn’t bring myself to actually write the best thing that’s happened to me this year. i’m not sure i’m at that point yet, the point of trust needed, to completely spill my feelings to this blog. and i know that sounds horribly stupid and lame, but...
reasons why i love new moon :)
^^^alice’s outfit in her return scene.
^^^everything jacob says in the movie theater scene: “what a marshmallow!” ; “do you want me to put you in a hospital?!”
^^^my brother yelling, “NOT IN MY HOUSE!” in the theater the minute edward hits jasper.

my iTunes continue to grow!
i have 329 songs, now, thanks to the endless amounts of random cds i have in my room. mostly a mix i made from the young wild things tour, the dixie chicks’ fly, and legally blonde the musical!
“this man is gay AND european, and neither is disgrace!”
that’s what i’m listening to at this very moment!

i love that part!!!
my iTunes :)
i’m almost done. it’s gonna be around 290 songs, which is pretty good considering how long i’ve had these cds and such. i’m going to add in some Phantom of the Opera, which i’ve wanted for a long time, and i think i’m gonna use my new iTunes gift card to buy The Fame Monster. i think it would be a good use of my money :)
it was interesting, ripping all these...
my aunt just flew in :)
198 songs and counting.

so catchy, right?
i may or may not have just embarked on a Star Trek...
you’re free to judge at this point. but i’m almost to 100 songs, so i’m gonna keep going.
the red guys ALWAYS die!
105 songs!!!
SUBJECT CHANGE!
whiplash, much?
-
The sensation was unmistakable. I could hardly call it a sensation—it was more of a numbness. It happened slowly. I could feel myself—my soul, my spirit, whatever you wanted to call it—tearing from my skin, slowly, like snapping one thread at a time. As I retracted from my fingertips, I could feel them no more, until my hands were gone, my wrists, my arms, my nose, my...
70 songs. i can't do this anymore.
anberlin is love.
as well as death cab for cutie.
the hush sound is pretty amazing, too.
i love music so much, though, it’s all worth it.
plus, i just found all these amazing star trek icons that put me in a much more optimistic mood. i shall copy and paste :)
happiness factor multiplying by five :D
i'm only two cds in...
the nineteenth mix, and my decaydance / FBR mix. ohgash. this is gonna take longer than i thought, and enchanted is on. i’m gonna get DISTRACTED!!! btdubbs, i’ll be updating a lot in the next few hours / days. this is what i figure i’ll do while my computer is ripping the songs…
oh, dear.
and so it has begun...
i’m rebuilding my iTunes :) i downloaded iTunes, which, of course, was step number one, and the text box was all, “Congratulations!” now, i’m starting to rip the music from every single one of my bananamobile mixes - all nineteen of them. and people made fun of me for those suckers… plus the four full albums i had in my car (ben folds, hey monday, chicago, patd). ...
we're having crockpot spaghetti for Christmas...
anyway, i can’t get my words un-italicized, so here we go.
for Christmas, i also received a small bottle of Inis, my favorite perfume of all time, the previous bottle of which i accidentally dropped in the locker room last year and upon impact with the floor shattered and was drained of all delicious-smelling liquid. i put it on the minute i could get the box open, and...
Merry Chrismahanukwanzakah To You!
this year, my big gift was a new tv and a bluray player. both are absolutely amazing, and i’m super excited to put them in my room and, later, my dorm room. isn’t that fun to say? dorm room - in association with myself? yes, it is. i’m officially to that point where i’m excited about college and no longer stressed about it. thanks, tulane university, for making me...

Merry Almost Christmas :)
IT'S CHRISTMAS EVE!!!
the christmas spirit.
i believe i have it. i’m going to miss my family in the few weeks before christmas next year. i even bought gifts for our parents and didn’t take my brother’s offer of money. i put his name on the presents without hesitation - mostly because i feel like it’s our last christmas together, even though that’s stupid and completely untrue.
i’ll miss the little...

at 5:30 this evening, i was literally about to cry because of reasons i would rather not discuss. however, by 7:00, i was in the best mood ever because i found a pair of american eagle jeans for super cheap, found out i actually looked good in them, and then my grandpa said he would get me starbucks.
i’m so glad i’m a typical, materialistic teenaged girl.
:)
today, we were playing apples to apples. the only...
^^^despite its punctuation and grammatical errors, something to this effect runs through my head daily.
always in my picture posts: something twilight, something katy perry, something obama, some lyrics/cliche-internet-saying, something jonas brothers, something mitchell davis, something from the office, something really...
my mom's cousin just had another baby.
her name is audrey. their older daughter is named avery.
way to steal my two favorite names in the whole world.
FAIL.
i’m so mad! but happy for them. but so mad they took my names!
does anyone else ever feel this way? i hope so, or i’m weird…

i hadn’t read in a while.
i cried last night.
i never thought i would.
thank you, everyone, for making this year one of the best i’ve ever had. it’s not even over yet, but i have a feeling no matter what happens in 2010, i will never lose this feeling of friendship, love, and pure joy.
happy holidays, merry christmas, i love you all :)
^^^^^buy me this shirt?
lady gaga, how’d you get so cool?
hehe. “joe, as your brother i can’t let you do something this stupid. sorry for letting you down all these years, kevin.” :DDDDD

i'm very tired.
and despite the disaster that was tuesday night, we pulled it off. that’s what always amazes me time and time again about these people and also myself. no matter how many years i participate in this organization, the way things come together never fails to amaze me. people came on stage falling out clothes on tuesday, my mic got lost in my hair, people fell, people missed their cues, and...
well…
i went, i saw, and i conquered the tower of terror :) disney was amazing. i didn’t buy a single souvenier, unless you count my rain-soaked poncho, and i think my mom took, like, two pictures of me. but i will never forget my senior trip to disney world.
even though it poured at magic kingdom and i’m officially sick-ish again, and even though my young singers jacket and...
i kind of feel like i’m reliving this june, when i left for new york. i still hadn’t packed the night before, and we had to be at the airport at four-fourty-five, which is actually later than i have to be at the school tomorrow to go to disney world. i’m really excited, but i’m really tired, too. right now, i’m charging my iPod - just straight power, because i...
