Freaky Friday (An Apology)

I'm sorry I've been gone so long!

I feel bad about it, really I do.

I didn't do a blog last week because I had nothing to talk about.

I can't believe I am saying this, but I think I've run out of things to talk about!

And I never announced the winner of the workout competition!

So I guuuuessss I'll do that right now~

~*~*EMILY PARKS*~*~

She lost a whopping 15 pounds and 10% of her body weight!

Second place was ~*me*~ having lost 7 pounds and 4.6% of my body weight.

Third place was Francesca, who was very close behind me, who lost 6 pounds and 4.5% of her body weight!

And I am proud of Veronica, Jessica, and Max joining this and trying their best to lose weight!

I am so proud of everyone, really. (:

So Emily, we must talk about your prize~

Text me soon!

So as you may have heard I've been super duper busy having a job.

It's pretty cool.

I just sit all day making the minimum wage.

And at the moment I have $650 in the bank!

Such an awesome feeling.

I'm going to try and stretch this money for all of summer so that I don't have to ask my parents for any money for at least 2 months.

But it's hard though because I can totally buy a new lens with that money or a whole new camera.

Or just other various expensive things, haha.

So next week I'm gonna super clean my room and hopefully have a yard sale some time this summer.

Oh and also the idea of starting an Etsy shop is worming it's way back into my mind.

But I haven't sewn in a really long time so yeah...

But I am starting a baby quilt soon!

So hopefully that will motivate me to start being creative and sewing and making stuff again.

Not that I haven't been making anything.

I'm currently knitting 5 separate things.

Yeah, it's a bit much.

One needs to be done before next weekend, one by the end of July, and one by the beginning of August.

The other 2 are just whenever. But I should probably finish Roseanna's hat soon, heh.

Oh and look at these cute knitted toys!

Pigs in wigs!

Bed bugs~

And a television!

Which are all from Mochimochi Land's new book!

Which is now available on Amazon.com and I'm probably going to end up ordering it as soon as I'm done with this blog.

(Along with a camera remote (finally).)

But gosh, all of these patterns are adorable.

I can't wait to make them. (:

In case you haven't heard, I got a Pro account on Flickr!

 Because of this I have gotten a lot more views and a lot more comments and it feels soooo gooood. (:

And I've also made a bunch of new sets and have been uploading a lot more than usual.

You should probably check it out sometime...

In other news I've watched a couple of movies~

I really liked this a lot. I don't care that it had super low quality green screens or that everyone has known the twist ending since before it even premiered.

I liked it. A lot. The acting was good and looking at cute actors and the trippy flashbacks/going crazy parts.

It was awesome.

I hadn't even heard about this until Max asked me to go see it with him.

If you haven't heard of it you should look up the trailer on YouTube.

It was seriously funny and awkward and I loved it.

John C. Reilly starts dating Marisa Tomei only to find out her 22 year old son, who is Jonah Hill, still lives at home.

And Jonah Hill is slightly obsessive about his mom. And they do some weird stuff moms and sons should never do ever. Haha.

But I liked it a lot and I laughed quite a bit.

I definitely recommend it.

This movie was amazing.

Absolutely amazing.

It's about this man, Colin Firth, and his whole day where he is planning to commit suicide at the end.

You find out he's gay and his partner died 8 months ago and he hasn't been happy since.

The film is directed by Tom Ford who is a costume designer so all of the design elements are super beautiful.

It's a sad and beautiful movie and I loved it.

I also love the soundtrack which I have already listened to about 10 times and I only downloaded it two days ago.

Max and I watched this yesterday and it was hilarious.

I love the Coen Brothers already so I went into this movie knowing I was gonna like it, haha.

And I did. 

It's about a guy who wants his wife kidnapped so he can get some ransom money from his father-in-law so he can get out of his debts.

And then everything goes horribly wrong.

This movie is hilarious and full of Minnesotan accents and dummies.

Last week I read all 5 volumes of Scott Pilgrim.

The sixth and final volume won't be released until July 20th and I'm dyyyyyyying!

Especially because Volume 5 did not end on a happy note.

The whole series is about this guy named Scott Pilgrim who falls for this girl named Ramona Flowers and comes to find out that to date her he has to defeat her 7 Evil Ex-Boyfriends.

And the novels are about him fighting the Evil Exes, his relationship with Ramona, his band, and just Scott's life.

I loved them.

I definitely recommend these to anyone who likes graphic novels.

Alright, last thing~

I'm getting a hair cut today!

So this is your last chance to take in and appreciate my long hair.

And prepare for another very short boy hairstyle~

Well that's all for now.

Have a good weekend and keep having an awesome summer.

And I'm definitely going to try and blog more!

I promise!

Bye~~~

Freaky Friday~

Hello, how are you?

Did you have a good week?

I didn't do much, just school, the usual~

This weekend there will be no workout at all because on Saturday I'm going to Pet Adoption Day at spcaLA. (:

Here's the link if you're interested.

And on Sunday I seriously need to study for my Science exam on Monday and French test on Wednesday.

This week I watched a couple of moooives~

This movie is just sooooooooooo funny.

"That's just, like, your opinion, man."

I forgot how funny this movie was. I was laughing as soon as it started, haha.

And James Franco is mighty sexyyy~~~

 My English professor made us watch this for whatever reason and then made us take a quiz on it and discuss it in class, and I was just like, I've seen this movie more than everyone in this room combined, no big deal, foooools.

And yeah, I've seriously seen this movie 10-15 times because of Laurren's stuuuupid senior project for drama.

But I love this movie, it makes me so sad and think a lot.

It's just really confusing and everyone has no idea what's happening in it, haha.

This week I also, finally, finished the worst book everrrr. 

I had to read it for my English class and I haaated it. It's just like Catcher in the Rye but with a girl.

"Wah wah wah I'm toooooo smart it's hard, wahhhh."

Seriously, bit conceited Mr. Salinger? You really think you're that smart?

Geeze just shut up already!

Yesterday I took some pictures of Veronica and her siblings for Mother's Day.

Soooo adorable right?
And today I'm going to take pictures of Emily, her brother, and her dad. (:
I looove taking pictures of people.

I also took some pretty nice pictures of myself, I'd say. Haha.

Out of extreme boredom I made a video last night~

These are my favourite lyrics in any song ever.
They are just so *~*~*~*~deep~*~*~*~*

 

My French professor loves this video.

And made us sing a long to it, it was kind of weird, haha.

But I will say that it is the cutest thing ever.

 Well that's all for this week.
Now I have to go clean my room, take pictures of the Parks family, make flashcards for my Science exam, and be awesomeee.
Have a good weekend. (:

Freaky Friday~

Wasssssup?

Have a good week?

Mine was kind of long and school was blerg.

I left Clovis on Sunday at 2pm and it was such a long trip. I hate taking the train and bus but Tyler always convinces me to just do it.

It takes way too long~

And Sunday night I stayed up late to do homework so of course school sucked, haha.

Anyways, did you read about my weight loss competition?

It's just one post down~

Basically I'll keep track of you weight for 8 weeks and then whoever loses the most weight wins a prize!

FYI

• I still need some peoples information: Name, weight, age, height, etc. Please give me that asap, definitely by 10am tomorrow
• There is no workout tomorrow but there will be one next Saturday the 17th
• I will post all information concerning future workouts here
• The weekly weight loss blog will be on Saturdays

I'm really excited to finally get in shape. (:

This week I finished reading No Country for Old Men.

Good read.

The end was really annoying, though. It should have tied up everything better.

I'm going to watch the movie today.

I'll let you know how that goes.

Want to give me $130?

Cutest moccasins ever found here.

But seriously, I need some moccasins.

Where did you get yours?

Cookies are serious.

If I was you, I'd watch this.

Or you may regret it for the rest of your life.

Yesterday I went to the Griffith Observatory.

It was hot and I had to park really far and it was suuuuuper crowded.

But it was pretty interesting and I got to see a real life Tesla Coil~

And the view of course is super awesome.

I really wanna go on a picnic here with Tylerrrrr<33333

Well, today I have some big plans.

I'm going to finally clean my room, watch Burn After Reading, and watch No Country for Old Men.

Maybe a bit of knitting too.

I hope you have a good weekend. (:

And come back tomorrow for work-out blogz0rz.

And I'll close with a weird-o video.

Freaky Friday~

Salut! Comment ça va?

Bien, merci~~~

Lol, look. I know some française.

I kind of want to incorporate more French into my conversations, like Spanglish but... Frenlish.

But then I remember how embarrassed I am about my accent. Haha.

I'll get over it someday.

Like when I can say real sentences, probablyyy.

So anyways, how was your week?

Mine was pretty chillllll.

Last Friday Tyler was herreeeee.

And it was awesomeee.

And Vance and his girlfriend are laggers/flakes.

Yeah, I said it.

So what?

Hahahhaa.

And on Saturday we went to Philippe's!

The birthplace of the French dipped sandwich.

Oh, and they also have theee hottest mustard I have ever eaten in my life.

After that we went to Little Tokyo and walked around.

I got some paper for paper stars and this awesome Totoro shirt~

This picture is also on my Flickr.

Then we came home and chilled and napped a bit.

We thought the play was 8 only realize it was 7.

So Tyler and I got ready really fast and went to GameStop so I could preorder Pokemon SoulSilver.

Then we went to Royal Oak and talked to Dillon Turnquist a little and went inside.

Btw the play is called A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum.

I thought it was pretty funny.

And I loved the sets and costumes.

Made me wanna sew some costumes~~~

I mean, there are some people that I'm always gonna hate but whatevs.

Hahaha.

So yeah, good work everyone! <3

Also, I talked to Graz and it made me sad.

It made me miss drama (a little).

Hahaha.

People always ask me if I miss drama and I don't know what to say.

I miss drama when Max was still there and there was LJJ.

And I miss the fun times where everyone is laughing, not the last minute times where everyone is stressed out and mean.

So yeaaahhhh.

On Sunday Tyler and I went and picked up my copy of Pokemon~

It's so awesome.

I chose Chikorita as my starter because she's my favouriteee.

I haven't played that much but that should change pretty sooooon~~~

Tyler and I hung out and ate the Hat and ice cream and then he left around 7pm.

It sucked. ):

And then I had to make up all the homework I put off which also sucked.

Monday I just went to school, you know.

It was boring.

But I did finish the book we've been reading for my English class.

It's called Play it as it Lays.

It's set in the 1960s and really weird.

It's about an actress and about her life and how she's pretty much insane.

It's a really fast read too. You could read it in less than a day. Maybe less than half a day. Haha.

I recommend it to everyone. Unless you're stupid. Because no one in my English class understood it and I can't figure out why. It's a really easy read...

On Monday night I fell asleep at 9pm still fully dressed and laying on my bed sideways, haha.

And then Tuesday morning at 4am I was awoken by an earthquaaaaakeeeee.

It was a 4.4 and a little scary.

But I didn't panic or anything because I'm a man and stuff.

Hahaha.

And then Tuesday I didn't do much, just homework.

Oh and I found out Tunng released a new CD on March 1st.

It's called "...And Then we Saw Land"

And it is really good.

Tunng is such a good band.

I really recommend you check them out.

This is Tyler and I's favourite Tunng song "Jenny Again".

It's from their "Comments of the Inner Chorus" album.

It's good, right?

Yeah, I knooowwww.

Wednesday was okay.

Another groggy school day.

But I got out of math an hour early and then had a strawberry milkshake and that was pretty tight.

And that night I finished watching "Freaks & Geeks".

It's a show made by Judd Apatow that aired from 1999-2000.

There was only one season.

And it sucks because it was such a good show and I know the second season would have been great. ):

Oh welllll.

I also watched the movie Trainspotting.

I don't know why I did that since I hate shots and the movie is about heroin addicts...

Hahaha.

But it was good, and I love Ewan McGregor is everything.

He is a sexxxyyyyy maaan~~~

Hahaha.

Yesterday I did quite a bit actually.

I woke up because Grace was here!

She's the 'house cleaner'.

She doesn't do much. Vaccuums, mops, breaks stuff.

She has broken a lot of stuff but she still keeps coming back! (:

Ugh.

Anyways.

I was chilling and then Laurren came over for a little bit because she was in the area and we got Rite-Aid ice cream and it ruuuled, haha.

Then she left and I took a shower and then hung out with Michelle.

We drove around and walked around and ended the night with some ice cream!

Hahahhaa.

Then I took my self portrait for Self Portrait Thursday and realized that that's what the majority of my pictures on Flickr were and was very annoyed about it.

So I took some pictures of Veronica and Jessica~~~

The rest of them can be found on my Flickr.

Please tell me what you think! (:

And today I've just been laying in bed because sometimes it's nice to just lay in bed. (:

Tyler is going to be coming sometime today and that'll be tiiight.

I hope you have a good weekend, I know I will.

<3

Freaky Friday (now with more cats!)

Sorry, I didn't mean to not blog yesterday, I just got busy.

Not that it matters, I have no idea what to blog about.

I've just been chilling at Tyler's this week and it's been a ton of fun.

Fun for us is just watching TV and eating and saying witty things to each other, haha.

---

Omg, look at how cute this shirt is.

It's like someone said, "Let's make a shirt especially for Jacqui Zebraskiin!"

(found here)

---

The greatest discovery of my life:

Maine Coon Cats

They are, like, the biggest domestic cat breed and can grow to be 10-16 inches tall and 10-25 pounds.

What's more awesome than a cat?

A really, really, really big cat.

---

So I registered for Spring Semester at Mt. SAC this week and it sucked.

I had my schedule all picked out and I only got 1 out of 5 classes I wanted. ):

But I guess it's okay because then I made a whole new schedule with four classes and they are only on Monday and Wednesday.

I'm pretty excited for all the free time.

And if all that open time isn't enough to help me land a job, I don't know what is!

---

Tyler and I made some of the famous Carbajal macaroni and cheese this week and guess what!

We didn't mess it up!

Even though there isn't a real recipe just guesstimates, haha.

(not ours but looks just like that)

---

These are the cutest headphones I have ever seeeeeen!

(found here)

---

Laser Cats 5 definitely deserves the Academy Globe.

---

I am so tired of my bangs being in my face all the time like some loser at Hot Topic.

I really want to cut them super short, like this~~~

I'm just not too sure if it'll suit my face...

What do you think?

---

This week I read The Giver by Lois Lowry for the first time since 7th grade.

This is soooo not a children's book!

But man, it's still a good read and it has such an interesting story.

If you haven't read it, I def recommend it.

---

Well, I guess that's all for now.

I'll try not to miss again.

I hope you have a good weekend. (:
