It's Christmas Eve!

And I know I'm not alone when I saw that it does NOT feel like Christmas.

But whatevs.

I'm getting pretty excited to open presents tomorrow.

And again on the 26th with Tyler's family.

I have most of my presents done.

I got stuff for my mom, dad, sister, grandma, Luna Lovegood, Michelle, Baby Bear, Tyler's mom and dad and sister.

And I'm pretty content with my purchases.

I also really liked the way I wrapped everything. Haha.

Eets like peppermints~~~

Tyler's quilt took forever but it's finally done.

And he's already seen it so, here you gooooo.

Hell yeah it's as big as my bed.

Also, bet you can't guess his favoruite colour.

Hahaha.

I still have to finish his Steve Zissou hat and something for Luna Lovegood.

I really shouldn't have procrastinated but it's too late now!

I hope you have a peaceful Christmas Eve.

I'm going to be knitting aaallll niiiight. (:

Freaky Friday~~

Yeah, I'm super late but. Eh.

Last Friday Tyler's sister Makkael called me up and asked if I wanted to go to Fresno with her so I was like, hell yeah duh.

We ended up leaving at midnight and got to Fresno at 4am. So balls.

And yes, as soon as we got there we went to sleep.

The next day Tyler's parents were very happy to see Makkael and I.

We spent the weekend chilling and shopping.

Makkael left at 7am on Sunday but I stayed since Tyler was going to come down on Wednesday anyways.

It was awes.

So yeah, we've been here since Wednesday just chilling.

So yes, Freaky Friday will be a little lacking this week but. Eh.

1. Being John Malkovich

I saw this movie at Nathan's house this week and oh man.

Soooo goood.

It has to be the best movie EVER.

Like, the basic premise is insane.

It's really just something that must be seen to believe.

I don't want to say something and ruin it for you because you just have to see it, okay? Okay.

2. Chocolate oranges

Favourite candy ever.

And then they stopped making them a few years.

I couldn't find them any where.

And then Jessica was like, oh hey they have them at Wal Mart.

SAY WHAT?

And they soooooo diiiiiiiiid and oooooooooooh maaaaaaaaaan I wish I was eating one riiiiiiiight nooooooooow.

3. The Aquabats

Yummy ska.

I don't usually listen to ska but this week I've just been in Aquabats mode.

They are so good and they're lyrics are always super funny.

For example:

And yeah, that's all for this week.

Sorry dogs.

And sorry it's so late.

Have a good weekend and hopefully I'll see you before Christmas. (;

Freaky Friday

I've had a long week and I am sooo glad it's over.

Also, I just sold my guitar and I now have $130 in the bank. (:

I should be cleaning Laurren's room for $10 today and then I should be set for Christmas presents...

Hopefully.

I will totally clean your room and/or closet for $10.

I just need to clean one or two rooms and then I won't have anything to worry about.

So yeah.

THINK ABOUT IT PLEASE.

Anyways, here goes Freaky Friday tiiiime~~

1. David Bowie

Mmmmmmmmmm.

David Bowie is always gonna be my number one favourite singer but this week I have been listening to all of his CDs like crazy.

I just love him.

Like. I would die for him.

I LOVE HIM SO MUCH IT'S KIND OF CREEPY.

But I just want to meet him and be best friends and hang out and talk about John Lennon and eat British food and wear jumpsuits and play with cats and sing and fuuuuuuuuuuuuu.

I love him.

2. Gameboy Games

I don't know why I just really wanna play Gameboy games.

I used to have a Gameboy but I have no idea what happened to it.

I just want to play old games so bad.

Weeeehhhhhhhh.

3. Random Food Cravings

I have wanted all of these foods really badly.

Sometimes two of them at the same time. Like eggs and sushi.

I just want foooooooooooood.

Tons of it.

All of my favourite foods in a smorgasbord in my house and I could just eat as much as I wanted~~

4. Tea

I love tea but this week I was stressed out about finals so I have drunken, like, 10 cups this week.

It's just so tasty and it warms my insides and mmmmmmmmm.

I love it. (:

5. Harry Potter movies

Okay, I loooooooove the Harry Potter books and have totally hated the movies.

Because, well, they weren't exactly correct, duh.

So I totally hated them and I've seen like the first one and that's it. Maybe half of the fifth one, Idk.

But yeah, haaaaaaaaate.

And then this week I was hanging out with Luna Lovegoooooood and she just bought Half Blood Prince so I figured I'd give it a chance because Tyler and Max said they loooooooooved it.

And wow. I was super pleasantly surprised.

There were a lot of parts that were word-for-word.

So... I like the Harry Potter movies now.

Hahaha.

Never thought I would say that ever.

And then Luna said I'd probably like the third movie because she loved it so I was like... Okay.

And yesterday I watched it while I was knitting and double wow.

Pleasantly surprised again.

Like the third book is my faaaaaavourite one so I didn't want to ruin it with a bad movie but wow.

It was super good. And had everything.

And a lot of parts were word-for-word.

So it was awes.

Alright. That's been my week.

I hope everyone has a good weekend. (:

I'm done!

This ridiculously long week is dooone.

I am so excited.

Here, I'll prove to you that I'm super excited.

This is when I realized I can eat the Hershey's I've been saving to motivate myself to get through the week.

And this is me when Luna Lovegood gave me my favourite food ever yesterday (but today).
And I'mm eat these too.
They also match my sweatshirt.

I'm done.
I'm so happpyyyy.
I wasn't, like, super excited until yesterday when I was hanging out with Luna and I was talking about how I only had two things left.
And now, I'm just super happy.

I don't start school again until February 22nd.
So ridiculous, right?
I am super excited.
In that time I want to:

* knit a ton of stuff
* sew wallets
* sew pajama shorts (with the awesome fabric Roseanna gave me)
* work at the Covina Playhouse? (it's not for sure but I need money~~)
* clean my closet out once and for all
* be awesome, duh

And I don't know, what ever else comes up.
I'm so excited.
College has drained the life out of me.
I don't want to get up in the morning and I don't care about anything.
I hate it.
I am ready to get my mojo back.
Hahha.


So yeah, here is a blog as I have been lacking and don't worry, Freak Friday is on for tomorrow.


Last thing, still trying to sell my guitar!
Please tell your friends.
http://losangeles.craigslist.org/sgv/msg/1495491385.html

And I need money pretty fast so let me clean your room or organize your closet.
I'm fast, cheap, and efficient.
Please think about it.


Alright, have a good day.
I think I'm going to try and take a nap.
Bye~ (:

I have no motivation

Today I need to at least have all of the pictures for my Fashion final found and cited and have all of my notecards done and finish my Math pre-final on coursecompass.com

I just don't want tooo.

Yesterday, I woke up early to fix my sleeping schedule but then I couldn't fall asleep until 1am last night.

Like, wtf? That doesn't even make sense.

So today I woke up at 11:30am and am kind of screwed.

I have zero motivation and I feel kind of sick.

Everything except for homework and studying and projects is so very appealing right now.

I want sushi, cupcakes, cats, to knit, to draw, to sleep, anything. Anything but this.

So thanks high school for making me think college was going to be this easy.

Max 1 hour for all six of my classes every day for studying and homework (but more like 20 minutes) and in college you're expected to devote 3 hours outside of class for every 1 hour you are inside class.

That is insane.

Like. Holy crap.

So I need some motivation ASAP!

So wah wah wah this is me complaining. Hahaha.

But look at what I did accomplish:

My New Year Resolutions for 2010

• buy 0 books
• does not include craft books or textbooks, only novels and such
• read 1/2 of unread books I own
• knit at least 50 projects
• learn to screen print
• learn to crochet
• get ears pierced
• get in shape
• not about pounds but being happy
• get a job
• get rid of 25% of possessions
• build a respectable wardrobe
• so I can stop looking in my closet and seeing nothing

I'm trying to keep them easy and something I'd actually do this year.

So yeah.

Oh, and I've also cleaned my room pretty well, too.

I'm thinking about starting a load of laundry.

Hahaha. I just hate homework so much.

So yeah, here's some sort of blog for the past couple of lazy ones.

No Freaky Friday~~

I am working on finals, duh.

Hahaha. Tyler is so mad right now.

I am so excited!

NOT.

My finals start next Monday.

Here's my schedule for next week:

Monday 12/7

10:30am-1:00pm - Math Final

Tuesday 12/8

10:30am-1:00pm - Drawing Final Part 1

Wednesday 12/9

8:30am - Fashion Final

(Project is due and test)

Thursday 12/10

7:30am - English Final

(I just have to come and turn in my essay and I can leave~)

10:30am-1:00pm - Drawing Final Part 2

I guess it's not that bad but still. I don't wanna!

Hahaha.

But wow, I'm almost done with my first semester of college!

And I'm glad I'm finishing so early because then I'm going to have a ton of time for Christmas presents.

I have to knit 3 scarves (one is already started) and one hat.

I'm buying most of my presents this year because, well, it's easier, and also next year I'm going to finally be knitting all of the things I've been dreaming about!

And I'll probs just give them all away because I don't really like scarves or shawls or mittens or anything.

So yeah, if we're close, expect a random present next year. (:

I'm still trying to make money to buy presents so please spread the word about me selling my guitar.

I'm asking for $160 or best offer.

Here is the Craigslist post.

Please please please look at it and tell everyone you know.

I don't think I'll get even close to what I need from a pawn shop but I'm probably going to have to end up doing that. :/

So yeah, I'm really excited for December 10th 1pm.

Hahha.

Have a good week, I'll see you Friday. (;

Freaky Friday~~

1. Tofurky

I really don't care if you think it's stupid or looks totally gross or wah wah wah.

I love it.

It tastes soooo good. And it's never dry like real turkey.

And leftover cold tofurky sandwiches are my faaaavouriteee~~

2. Christmas lights

 I read a lot of blogs but I get a lot of inspiration from this one: http://www.abeautifulmess.typepad.com/

Her name is Elsie and she had some photos of her and friends wrapped in Christmas lights.

I thought... Hm. That looks cute. Maybe I could put some around my desk?

And then I did! Hahaha. As you can see from the top picture.

It really helps a lot when I want to sew because that side of my room is the darkest. Hahaa.

And then this week Jessica and I cleaned her room and I put lights on her bed too!

Hahaha. I like hers a lot~~~

3. Hoodies

 I really only wear one jacket and that's my Tegan and Sara jacket.

Meagan and I got matching ones at their show at the Glasshouse and I loooove it.

It's warm and  it's not really tight on my arms and it's red and has raccoons on it!

But I really need new jackets.

I put two on my Christmas list and I'm excited. Haha.

What I really want is a grey hoodie and then I'm going to sew red accents on so it kind of looks like the hotel jackets from The Royal Tenenbaums.

 This is a really bad screen-shot but there are three red stripes on the cuff and red piping on the lapel.

And it's inspired me to make a badass hoodie.

Can't wait~~

4. Embroidery

 I have always loved embroidery.

I got a ton of embroidery floss last year for Christmas and some embroidery hoops.

But I didn't even attempt to do anything.

Hahaha.

But I am feeling very inspired by all of these pictures so maybe I'll finally make an attempt at it.

Haha.

Eeehhhhh. I can't think of a 5th one.

At least one that I am content with.

So I'm gonna leave it at 4, even though I hate even numbers~~

So anyways, this week Jessica and I finally cleaned her room.

I don't have before pictures but I don't really care.

It was disgusting.

But look at it now~~

There's a floor!

It's still messy under the bed, in the closet, and in the drawers but whatever.

It looks clean and that's all that matters. Haha.

Looking back at this week I realize it was a lot of fun.

I hung out with Laurren, Casey, went to a party (lol), had Thanksgiving, and got stuff done.

And I am very happy about that.

And one last thing:

Today is my anniversary of becoming a pescetarian.

It's been 5 years.

Isn't that so insane?

That's like a child that's ready to enter kindergarten.

INSANE.

But just goes to show, I am way more dedicated than Krista.

BEEYATCH. Hahaha.

Have an awesome weekend. (:

Happy Thanksgiving

You know. I've never been a fan of Thanksgiving.

It's just another holiday that I was forced to spend with people who don't like me, and I don't like.

They act like they aren't assholes. That they are nice people. That they care about each other.

None of this is true.

They all act like highschoolers.

They gossip and back-stab and try to be the trendiest family.

And the main thing I am thankful for this year:

I NEVER HAVE TO SPEND ANOTHER HOLIDAY WITH THEM AGAIN.

Every year was just torture.

I had to sit and listen to them all gossip about everyone who wasn't there or, at least, wasn't in the room.

They all think they are rather witty and smart and they all have iPhones.

They are very cutting edge.

Some highlights of past Thanksgivings:

Being told I'd get pregnant before my cousin Jader who is at least 10 years older than me.

And after I started crying, saying it was more of a jab at Jader.

I guess that makes it better.

Being followed around by my younger cousin Mikayla, who was obviously parroting something her mother about me, saying I had on too much make up.

Going to Huntington beach and eating dinner in a parking lot on paper plates.

Getting ganged up on by my younger cousins Travis and Ryan and not letting me play basketball with them.

The past few years I have either spent in the car or in a corner with headphones on.

It's hard growing up. And trying to figure yourself out.

It's much harder when the ADULTS in your life don't accept you.

But the person I hate most of all is the Devil that spanwed these hellish children.

Robert Hanes.

He and my grandma are "separated".

He comes over several times a week because he knows he will make her dinner.

They go to the movies every Friday and, generally, she has to drive so he doesn't waste gas.

And just in case you didn't know, he has cheated on my grandma.

BUT NO IT'S TOTALLY FINE.

COME OVER FOR DINNER AND PARK IN THE DRIVEWAY LIKE YOU FUCKING LIVE HERE.

He is an inconsiderate asshole who likes to think he knows what's going on in the world.

And from what I've heard, he likes to send out very humorous emails.

I've tried my hardest to get pushed out of this family and I think I've finally done it.

My aunt JoDee blocked me on Facebook!

You know it's serious when it's Facebook.

And after she blocked me she had to find out my email address and start bothering me there.

Here's my favourite part of it.

You know why I blocked you from facebook and don't act like you don't...

Hahahahaha.

Oh god, so funny.

I've never liked JoDee, though.

She is a hairdresser, hence we had to get our haircuts from her.

Even though she charged us the regular price and, in all honesty, she's not very good.

Don't bother telling her how you want your hair done she does what she thinks will look good.

I am not lying, she said this herself.

But it's okay, because she has built herself the perfect American family:

Husband, a son who plays football, a daughter in cheerleading, a dog and two cats.

And don't even get me started on their first dog that they tortured to death.

I could actually go on for days about her. Trust me.

I hate Jeannie mostly because of her obsession with wine.
She specifically moved this past year to be closer to a winery.
Her daughter Jader got married at a winery.
It's a bit obsessive.
And the only thing they can ever talk about.
Also, she tried to confront me in email and then when I blew her away with my superior language skills she didn't reply.
Yes, you've tried so hard to reach out.

And you want to know something funny?

The "drama" this year.

My uncle Rob wanted to have Thanksgiving at Huntington beach again but HE DIDN'T SEND OUT EMAILS.

Dear lord, what was he thinking?

So before he got a chance, my aunt JoDee sent out emails saying "You can come to our house for Thanksgiving."*

My uncle Rob was very angry about this. But it's his own fault, of course.

But it's okay, because my family wasn't invited in the first place.

I have succeeded. (:

*Although, JoDee didn't cook anything. This morning Cherin was in the kitchen cooking turkey, ham, mashed potatoes, and pretty much all the food.

And while she was doing all this JoDee called and made Cherin drive to her house and bring her the salad she had to "make" a.k.a. put it in a bowl.

But there is a light at the end of this terrible story.

This year my dad, sister, and I went to my dad Aunt Rachel's and I got to experience a real holiday.

One where people like each other. One where no one is talking behind someones back. 

A happy one.

And I am thankful for that.

And I am most thankful for my Grandma Birdie and Grandpa Andy.

They are the kind of grandparents I want to be.

They are funny and nice and I love them.

I really wish I got to see them more.

It really sucks not knowing who your real family is.

I saw people today who I haven't seen in over 10 years and they were happy to see Jessica and I.

And easily made conversation with us.

It was really a nice day.

I had a lot of fun.

And before any of you Hanes start blaming my dad for my mom not coming, shut your ignorant mouth.

I am sooooo fucking tired of you all attacking my dad.

You don't live here. You have no idea what it's like.

You don't know the relationship between my parents.

And I am very excited for this blog to get emailed around and for you to all talk about me.

I'll enjoy it.

Because it just proves me right, once again.

And this is why I am bitter. 

This is why I hate everyone.

This is why I am so fucked up.

I hate my English professor

And how he spends an hour and a half saying one important thing.

And how he gives us prompts meant for 6th graders.

Am I the only one who finds writing essays harder when it's too easy?

Yeah, probably.

Want to know what my essay is about?

How talking while eating is okay sometimes.

Yup. No joke.

So here's a little blog for you~~

And today I hungout with Luna Lovegood and it was awesome. And we basically want everything from IKEA and we ate sooooooo much cheap food. It was ridic. And then we got cupcakes from Dolissimo~~ Which is in, like Chino. And then we walked around "The Shoppes" and it was awesommemmmee.

And I just want everything from the Sanrio store. Seriously.

Especially this bag. But it's not on the website but I saw it in the store and I want it!

It's only $88 and trust me, that's good for Sanrio store.

So yeah, and then I took her home and we didn't watch Hot Rod but... Next time..

Alright, so I have a lot of hobbies. And I want mooooore so I need your opinion.

These are the hobbies I already do:

sewing

knitting

photography

building (like with wood and stuff)

drawing/painting

And here are the hobbies I am considering:

embroidery

scrapbooking

quilting

crocheting

building ships(and shit) in bottles

I mean, I feel like I have way too many hobbies already but I'm getting bored.

I mean, if you have an idea for the hobbies I already do I could try that'd be way more awesome.

Like, painting something specific or building a birdhouse, I don't know.

I'm just bored.

HELP MEEEE.

Btw, you can leave a comment without having a blogger or anything.

Thank youuu, have a goood weeeek~~~
