Walkin' on Sunshine

 There will be a thirty second long TV spot for The Last Airbender during the superbowl. The full two minute theatrical trailer will be released before Percy Jackson and the Olympians: the Lightning Thief Februrary second. Yesss. That is going to be a VERY good weekend.

Meanwhile, I've been listening to the Glee soundtrack alllllllllllllll day long. And I must say...




Remember those walls I built
Well, baby they're tumbling down
They didn't even put up a fight
They didn't even make a sound

It's like I've been awakened
Every rule I had you breakin'
It's the risk that I'm takin'
I ain't never gonna shut you out

Everywhere I'm looking now
I'm surrounded by your embrace
Baby I can see your halo
You know you're my saving grace

You're everything I need and more (I'm walking on sunshine, wooah)
It's written all over your face
Baby I can feel your halo (I'm walking on sunshine, wooah)


And don't it feel good!

Yeah. I'm that happy :)

Cloudy With A Chance of Shindigging

I hope you had a good weekend 'cause I know I did, especially on Friday when Hannah and Katy came over and we had an awesome shindig. Katy came over earlier and we played some Rock Band 2 until Hannah got there. Then Hannah, Katy, Jenni and I sat down to watch Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs, one of the best, funniest movies on the planet.



Following the movie, Jenni went to her boyfriend's apartment on the third floor and the rest of us played Truth or Dare because I got the app on my iTouch. The two best things that came of it was the open dare I got, which meant Hannah and Katy got to pick instead of letting the iTouch (Gertie) choose. So Katy suggested I go to the neighbors (none of which I know) and ask to borrow an ice cube. So I did, taking a frying pan to carry it. Unfortunately, of the three doors I knocked on, no one answered. Then I realized we knew that Steven and Jenni were upstairs. So I went to Steven's and asked to borrow an ice cube, pictured left :)

Then Hannah got a dare that said blindfold the person opposite and have them feed you a glass of water. So we blindfolded Katy with my sock. She did a good job, but it was funny anyway ;)

Oh, and I passed that Spanish test that nearly killed me. I either made an 88 or a 94, depending on whether or not she checks her math (yes, I pointed out the error...ugh. But I still did a lot better than I thought! And only three other people made As, aside from my possible 94).

Ghostbusters

Okay so the lovely Symantha mentioned something about a project 365 in which people (her sisters) post a picture for every day of the year. I thought it was a really cool idea and wanted to do that too. But I'm making up my own rules because that makes life more interesting. The pictures that I post will usually be by me, but maybe not ones that I took that day. Sometimes, such as the picture today, will not be by me. And I probably won't do it every day, but I'll try to get 365. So the picture of the day today is one my awesome roommate Jenni showed me, and it's one the only two people who might read this will enjoy. So feast your eyes upon it if you haven't already:




Yesssssssssss. This is also very fitting because new episodes start up tomorrow!! Yay for TV shows coming back. Although, it's almost too much. Monday: How I Met Your Mother, Big Bang Theory, Chuck; Tuesday: White Collar, Wednesday: Leverage, Psych; Thursday: Supernatural. Nothing on Fridays? Legend of the Seeker during the weekend. Whew. In other news, tengo un examen de espanol manana y... I don't remember ANYTHING. I haven't taken/practiced Spanish since my junior year of high school (I feel old) and not so much even then because my Spanish teacher was a git/alien who didn't speak ANY language. So speaking of Spanish. Has anyone heard of Laura K Webb? Apparently she's a country/Christian/acoustic singer. And she's in my Spanish class. She's probably not famous, but it's cool anyway. Just found out haha.


Uh yeah so I wrote all that last night/this morning but never published it because I was studying so hard for Spanish and then I went to sleep at 6:15 planning to get up at 9:30 so I could finish my Spanish assignments by 11 when the test was. But my alarm somehow got on PM instead of AM. So I woke up at...10:48. Naturally, I FREAKED OUT, got ready insanely fast, parked in visitor parking and somehow made it to class by 10:58. Took the test, which didn't make me cry, but who knows how many sleep-crazed mistakes I made, and moved my car, luckily before I got a ticket. Then I was a horrible student and skipped the rest of my classes. I'm supposed to be in acrylic painting right now. Took a nice nap instead :) But not too long so I can't get to sleep tonight.

It's my grandmother's birthday today too. Happy birthday Mimi!

Looking Forward

I'm not sure exactly why, but I have a good feeling about 2010. Maybe it's partly because of all the awesome movies coming out this year. I'm dying to see Prince of Persia, The Chronicles of Narnia: Voyage of the Dawn Treader, and The Last Airbender. So many of my favorite things all at once!



Narnia has been one of my most favorite things since I was about six years old and read the books. I also remember watching the old BBC versions with my grandmother on VHS (By the way, that purple dress Lucy is wearing? I had the EXACT same one, by coincidence). I've reread that series more than any other. This Friday, my wonderful boyfriend is taking me to Narnia!! It could quite possibly make my year.

I also don't know why I'm so excited about 2010 because I am sooo not excited about school. I'm not taking any classes I'm particularly excited about (but I'm hopeful about photo ii), and I have to take summer courses, which means a) less summer and b) fewer money-making days at Anadarko and c) less vacation time. The summer classes are ones I'd like but since they're wasting my summer, I can't be excited about them either. On the bright side, Jenni will be my roommate over the summer too.

I think I'm also hopeful for 2010 because a lot happened last year and I feel like I changed significantly, became a much better person. This year will be my first as that person.

I don't usually make new years resolutions because I forget about them and also I can set goals for my self throughout the year as needed. Like to be less lazy and work harder on my school work, to eat healthier and exercise more, and to finish what I start.

I've also been a lot happier I've the passed 6 months due to a life changing event in July, a wonderful thing in October, and the effects of attending church a lot more. I'm really glad I finally found one in Magnolia I like (and when I say "I found," I mean, "David found").

I also turn 21 this year. Weiiird.

And that's enough rambling for today.

Looking Back

So I figured I'd try posting an actual blog, and what better time to do that than the beginning of the new year? A lot of stuff went down in 2009, most of it was good, but not all.

Let's see. In April, I got to meet one of my favorite authors of all time, Meg Cabot. She's most famous for The Princess Diaries, which I think is ironic because that's basically her only (teen) series I haven't read.

That was also the last weekend I saw my dog, Macy. She died May 9. One day before I got home for the summer. Definitely the saddest thing that happened that year. I still automatically look out the window for her.

Also over the summer, I saw one of my favorite musicians of all time: Butch Walker. It was THE most epic concert ever. He played for a long time, he played a lot of my favorite songs, danced around the awesome club, and stood directly in front of me for several minutes. Seeing him was one of the things I wanted to do before I die, so I thought I could check that off my list, but now that I've seen him once, I want to see him again!!!

Also, on July 5 (and 6), I broke up with my boyfriend of nearly seven years. Seven. S E V E N. Definitely a big deal that year. Also a sad thing, but at the same time, it felt like a huge weight I didn't know I was carrying had been lifted. It was amazing, like I came back to life. I was giddy while still thinking, "OMG I'm going to die alone" (more on that later). It was really weird.

I also got to go on an amazing two-week summer vacation to New York and Ireland. In New York, we stayed with my dad's brother's family on Long Island. We spent most of the days in areas around there. One day we went to Six Flags in New Jersey with my cousins, Chris and Mark. It was freezing and pouring down rain. We were soaking, but at least the lines were short. The last 2 days we wentto New York City and spent the night in the Waldorf Astoria! We also saw the broadway musical Rock of Ages which had some guy from American Idol and was very good. Then we we went to Ireland, which was absolutely amazing. We stayed at a beautiful manor most of the time but took a lot of roadtrips to the cities nearby. The last few days, we drove all over. When I say all over, I mean it - I don't think there was anything we DIDN'T see. I learned that mead is gross and I also went to jail. I freaking love Ireland.

What was I talking about? Oh, right, 2009. Another thing I thought was a big deal was that I moved into my apartment with my roommate Jenni! It sounds so adult, but I don't feel like one at all. She is an awesome roommate. Actually, I've had nothing but good roommates. Definitely lucked out in that department.

And then there's the event of 2009 that made me the happiest. On October 30th, what I still consider a miracle occurred. Prepare to roll your eyes. I'll try to make this short, but I'll probably fail. I had to rethink that "I'm gonna die alone!" thing, because David asked me out. I had been developing a crush on him since I don't know when because I tried to pass it off as a random, passing thought, then as me freaking out about being single. By September, I'd run out of excuses. It had grown into something much more than a crush, and I could no longer ignore it, so, one by one, I told my friends. I also wanted their advice about the whole situation because I wasn't sure if it was a good thing or not since we're friends. I've never prayed about anything more in my life, but apparently God was thinking ahead (but of course) because apparently David started liking me around the same time! I never thought he'd EVER like me back... Like I said: Miracle. And I deffo went on too long. Forgive me?

The other major event in 2009 was the addition of a new member to our family. No, not what you're thinking. We got a puppy, Daisy. She's some kind of crazy, unknown mixed breed, but she came out cute so it works.

Aside from watching Coraline, weirdest/creepiest movie ever, 2009 had and amazing ending, and 2010 had an even better beginning.

I get to have brunch and shopping time with my best friend, then I get to see my wonderful boyfriend and one of my other closest friends and favorite people, the beautiful and talented Lindsey Guerrero.

So far, so good.
