I sadly did not make my goal of 50 for the first time last year. I only got to 40 books, due to some extreme busy-ness in the school portion of my life. My goal for this year is again 50 - I am VERY busy in the spring but I hope to be able to make up for it elsewhere.

Ever. When I do, it's random and sporadic beyond belief. I figure, who has the time to blog, really? And why? Don't you have friends?

Well, yeah, but I felt like blogging.

Life feels beautiful right now, and Christmas is coming. I feel like next year is going to carry the kind of power I can't even begin to understand right now. And that's really awesome, and really frightening at the same time.


Our faces reflected in separate windshields and all our body hair pricked up in elephant eyelash.

Another year of books ahead. Fifty remains my minimum goal, but I hope to far surpass that this year. Here we go.

stirring next to you
first breath, fresh air

dark french coffee
warming rays of sun illuminate the room
bouncing off of walls
colliding into you

out the door to the corner stand
crisp, sweet pink ladies will follow you
around the corner, down the block

bright pink ladies

looking down
this is the only place that i
touch the ground

then we tried to name our babies
but we forgot all the names
the names we used to know

!!

I want to thank two people.

One of them had a horrible day today, but as a result I was able to tell the truth to the other one.

And so bad things happen.

But it's going to be alright.

That is insane.

I am in California now. We went to the Farmer's Market this morning, and oh my god, I always hate going to the Encino Farmer's Market for two reasons:

1. I love farmer's markets, so I get terribly excited.
2. I always meet at least one hot, enviromentalist boy that I want to marry.

There's a stand there - it was there last year, too - called Maggie's Farm, and they have the best salads. Well the two guys who were working there were killing me literally. Anyway, onward, ho!

Brittany is making me put this in:

1. Reply with your name and I will write something random about you.
2. I will then tell you what song/movie reminds me of you.
3. I will pick a flavor of jello to wrestle with you in (or for the PG-13, eat with you).
4. I will say something that only makes sense to you and me.
5. I will tell you my first memory of you.
6. I will tell you what animal you remind me of.
7. I'll then ask you something that I've always wondered about you.
8. Put this in your journal.

I was thinking about next year's theatre crap, and my mom was asking me what I wanted to do and what I thought of the dinner theatre play choice (flipping weird), and I was talking about musical and suddenly it hit me like a ton of bricks.

I am going to get screwed into doing lights. It's strange that I never considered that that might happen but jesus christ did it ever hit me just then. I seriously almost gasped aloud.

I think I'm just going to run off now and watch Big Brother. Have a nice day.

Snowy Days Today (11:32:44 PM): omg judas was so hot

Because that's not fucking creepy at all Brittany.

1. Take you username and replace each letter with the corresponding number (A=1, B=2, etc.)

L - 12
A - 1
M - 13
P - 16
P - 16
O - 15
S - 19
T - 20
O - 15
F - 6
D - 4
E - 5
A - 1
T - 20
H - 8

2. Add all the numbers together to create a kind of super number.
171.

3. Make a note of the first digit of this number, then add the digits of the number together.
9.

4. Find the post of this number in your blog. If you don't have that many posts, add the digits together again. Keep doing so until the number is smaller than your pathetic number of posts.

5. Take the digit you noted in step 3 and count that many words into the post.
And.

6. Use the resulting word in a google image search and select any picture from the first page.


This is my African green pigeon sitting on a fig tree. I have no idea what this has to do with the word 'and.'

But, I would like to add, it pretty much kicks ass as a bird. If I ever have a bird (which I won't because I hate them) I think I will call it Fig, in honor of these strange African green thingies.

It is tragic.

I have, of late, frequently felt the need to post. Unfortunately this is sadly pointless for several reasons. No one reads this besides Brittany (not that that is bad) and my complaining is more often than not completely unacknowledged. My life is not particularly interesting, at least not any of the bits I can share here.

No one wants to talk Harry Potter with me either, so I am forced to seek out innocent people and berate them about it. This makes for very bad PR.

ME: OMG!! SQUEEE! REMEMBER IN HARRY POTTER WHEN...OMG LIKE WTF?!!!
RANDOM PEDESTRIAN: *tasers me*

Ah, alas, this is my life. And now I have to work every damn day until I leave for California. Jesus.

I need to start writing on it again. I'm not sure how I'm going to adapt it to the HBP canon though. Well, I mean, I have ideas, well...anyway. We'll see. Maybe tomorrow afternoon I'll adapt my newest chapter and send it off to be beta'ed.

Ah, I need me some fic I think. Harry Potter <3 <3 <3.

He loves me, yeah, yeah, yeah.

kathryn/remus

a girl can dream

And now it's real.

Lupin/Tonks.

Their love is so canon.

EDIT:

I just found the best meme ever, by the way.

Ten Fictional Characters I Would Sleep With (Books or Movies)
1. Remus Lupin - HP
2. Henry DeTamble - Time Traveler's Wife
3. Sirius Black - HP
4. Paul Mua'dib - Dune
5. Ian Malcolm - Jurassic Park
6. Luka Kovac - ER
7. Julian Bashir -ST: DS9
8. Neo - The Matrix
9. Lucius Hunt - The Village
10. The Weasley Twins - HP

This is ridiculous. I am going to die.

I am so conflicted right now. I really want to exchange overseas, but I feel like I owe too much to a lot of people here and to theatre here as well. I'd like to go the year after I graduate from high school, we'll see how that works out.

I just want to go over there so bad.

Next summer.

God.

Just...god.
