For Good - Wicked |

Sooooo... I've been back to lj for a few photo communities i've fallen in love with. heh. And i've rediscovered my love for photoshop. So i've made myself like 6 new layouts and now i'm using one of them and it's purty. I just like looking at them. If anyone wants a new one let me know and i'll whip one up for you :) And shana, the one we were making for you died because my computer spazzed but I can start it again if you want!
yayness.
Did I mention I love semester break?
And that I think my mom and I are going to start browsing through prom dresses this weekend. I might die of excitement. I love being a teenage girl. Except for, of course, when I'm having conversations with David Martin and a bunch of my friends, and I happen to mention that he's got it good as a guy since he doesn't have to give birth. To quote exactly: "Your part is easy!" And then Shana elaborated. Ah, yes. Good times.

Summer reeading owns my life. And I hate the MVA. So basically, nothing's new.
I had to go to Georgetown today to pick up some forms from the registrar's office and it was soo sad :( I miss good ol' gtown. But the really exciting part was how I couldn't see shit because I went to the eye doctor this morning and they dilated my pupils to the size of Kansas. I kept thinking everyone was going to think i was on drugs cause I kept hiding from the light, not walking in a straight line since I couldn't see right, and, of course, the cause of all this trouble, my pupils were huge. All signs of drug use! Because of course no one believes you when you say "I went to the eye doctor" even though you really did. Fortunately, I don't think anyone had me pegged for a druggie and I made it home on the metro and bus without being attacked in my state of poor eyesight, so it's all good. Maybe I scared people off by wearing my sunglasses on the metro. I tell you, those lights are BRIGHT.
Someone save me from The Human Web. Please?

Until You - Dave Barnes |
] |
Another day at gtown. More French Boy watching and more lecturing during psych. But we got out early! yay! and kelsey and I went back to the dorms and she introduced me to some people and I met the famous Zander I kept hearing about and yeah it's pretty clear why he's famous. We ran into him and some people in the hallway and he immediatly acknowledged me, introduced himself and even cutely shook my hand afterwards (finally, someone with manners!). Quite the charmer. Also had a lovely run-in with, well I'm sure Shana can guess who I'm talking about. It's beyond awkward, which makes it all the more fun. Shana, I really need to call you, lol.
Also, everyone go check out Dave Barnes on iTunes and do the whole 30-second-preview of all his songs. Or go to his website (www.davebarnes.com, pretty easy lol). I love this guy's music. I really want to get all his CDs. Shana, I especially think you'd like him since he kind of reminds me of carbon leaf. Either way, he's really good so I'm just sharing the love/spreading the word.
I listened to the entirety of HSM this morning on my iPod. That's right, I listened to it, not watched it. No I don't have the soundtrack, lol, I just didn't watch the screen. And the sad part is, I knew exactly what was going on at every single moment without even looking. Heh.
OH! And on the metro today I saw Will Junkin. EXCEPT it WASNT Will Junkin! Just this guy who looked EXACTLY like him except for a tiny bit older and in a suit. I did a huge double take, lol. It was kinda freaky.

La Tortura - Shakira |

Did I tell you guys how yesterday Katya and I followed her French boy? Well there's this girl in my psych class at gtown (Katya) who is also taking Political Systems and there's this really cute French Boy in her class and she dragged me outside to see him yesterday cause she wanted to show me who he was. Needless to say there was much giggling since he is really cute and he dresses really nice. So now I get the lowdown on French boy every morning. It's really quite amusing and reminds me of Laura. <3
Anyway, class was fine today... it felt really long though cause it was just a really long lecture. (And shana I really have to remember to call you and tell you my story about you-know-who because now my friend Kelsey is plotting and I won't say anything more haha). I had to go to the dentist afterwards, which was utterly boring but at least the people are nice lol. and my mom bought me a really yummy cosi sandwich for lunch beforehand. Plus, I'm a dork and I love it when they give me a new toothbrush and floss and stuff. Hehe. Then we went to Safeway (I know, sooo exciting. *sarcasm*) and i drove home.
Hasn't it been a really excitnig day, lol? *sarcasm again*
And not that anyone cares but I had really great dreams last night. I don't really remember what they were about, but I remember being pretty happy with them. That makes two nights of great dreams followed by two of no fun dreams followed by one with good dreams again. Perhaps a pattern is forming, lol?
I could have sworn I had something else to type up here but it seems to have slipped my mind. Well, I'll put it up later if I remember...

Tonight, Not Again - Jason Mraz |
] |
Okay. So I just heard about the best babysitting job ever. Going to freakin Disney World for a week with two of my favorite children on the planet and their parents. DAMN I WANT TO GO. Apparently it was mentioned casually a while back but I didn't know about this! And then the kids told me they were going last time i saw them and they wanted me to go with them but i was all like "yeah, that's unrealistic" cause i didn't want them to get too excited over something that probably wasn't going to happen. anyway, I told my mum to drop as many hints as possible even though i dont think i can go, haha. would have been fun, though. Man, I'm such a sucker for WDW. Talk about being a kid on the inside *rolls eyes at self*
Anyyyywaaaayyyy, I did really well on my psych exam! yay exciting! and today we took this really odd questionnare thing that was anonymous for some study and it asked really odd and personal questions. i mean it was for extra credit and they warned us about it ahead of time, but when they said you could leave some blank if you didn't want to answer I didn't expect that I would be doing so myself.
Afterwards Kelsey and I went around gerogetown and had lunch at Johnny Rockets (can you say DELICIOUS? i love it.) and then we hit up Urban {urban outfitters, that is, for all you cool cats ;)} but we only browsed because it was waaaay to expensive, as usual. they had really cute wallets though that were priced well and were a good size, so i may go back for one of those.
Then we went back to campus and i was asking kelsey about the dorms and so she took me back to them and showed me around. we went to her room and the bathrooms and everything and they're actually pretty nice. at least the ones i saw, which are freshman dorms but still nice. anyway, that was fun except her roomate and friend didnt even introduce themselves, even though kelsey introduced me, and then they were all like "nice to meet you" (and i was thinking, "except i dont even know your names...?"). So then she took me upstairs to the boys floor and we could hear Robert's voice throughout the entire hall he's SO loud (and obnoxious at times, but actually pretty nice) and we were trying to figure out what room he was in. Anyway, then Kelsey knocked and opened the door and they talked at the door for a sec and were like "why don't you guys come in?". So by this time Alex (who i think is gay?) had joined us and I'm thinking "Ooookay, awkward. A room full of guys I don't know and have never met. I think I'm going to opt out since I'm really supposed to be going home by now anyway and kelsey has class soon." so I basically told kelsey i had to go but that maybe i would drop by the dorms in the mornings and ran away. That's right, I ran away. I made it look normal, but I ran away. I'll confront the room of unknown males at a time when I'm feeling more prepared, thank you very much.
Oh and Shana, I have another story for you about that blonde friend of yours who i seem to run into everywhere that I don't want to post here out of sheer emabrassment. remind me to tell you, lol.

St. Patrick's Day - John Mayer |
] |
Today has been a good day.
I went out to breakfast with Shana and had a delicious Giant Malted Waffle and BACON!!!! I know, amazing (hehe). Walked around Bethesda for a while, avoided some sketchy latin dudes, hit up Hollywood Video, and went to the pet shop. Fun, huh? Anwyay, I continued my lovely day by saying farewell to the lovely Sha-Kay and taking the metro, as usual. Well, I get to my stop and I'm running up the escalator so I don't miss the georgetown shuttle and this other guy runs past me and we're both running after it and it drives away. So usually this would suck. But I got lucky and the weather was nice and I studied for my exam while I waited for the next shuttle and the guy who ran with me went and bought some starburst that he shared with me and we talked. Real nice kid, he goes to Emory and lives in rockville so he's taking orgo at gtown for the summer. I was like WOAH orgo! and admitted my chemistry-dorkiness and we had more starburst. He knew about some people from whitman, having gone to school nearby back in his high school days, and I felt bad that he had an orgo exam. I mean, organic chemistry is some real tough stuff. So then we got to georgetown, said goodbye and I went and sat on the bench at the end of Healy Hall to study. And study and study. While listening to Heavier Things on my iPod.
Then Kelsey and all them other folks arrived so I went to review with them before class and Kelsey beat me to asking whether we wanted to hang out tomorrow afternoon. Yay, plans! So then I took the exam and it was easy and our Proffessor told us he had made a mistake on the last test and had marked one question wrong, so I got an extra two points. So things were going pretty happily. Then, during the lecture I made myself look all smart by reciting back to him a long list of random words he gave us (just a fun memory example, and I made up a story so I wouldnt forget. hehe sneaky me) and recieved some high fives and general happiness for my achievements from classmates. Then class ended and Kelsey and Natalie said bye and I walked cheerily off to my shuttle to the metro.
Well, the way things were going I half-expected to run into Rupert Grint on the metro or something. Nedless to say, I didn't run into Rupert Grint, lol. But I did make it to Bethesda close enough to the arrival of the bus so that I didn't have to run or wait forever. And then something funny happened. I was the only person on the bus. On the 29. I didn't think that was possible. Anyway, then some chick I recognized from school got on the bus, but I have no idea what grade she's in. Then at Whitman she got off and just guess who got on? Harsh got on. I laughed my ass off. So I got off at my stop, after spending my bus ride with only Whitman kids, and walked home. And it wasn't tooooo hot and a hot guy on a bike passed me on the one-lane bridge and smiled.
And I got home, made my driving test appointment, found out there was CHICKEN for lunch (SCORE!) and now I'm typing this up.
Pretty sweet, eh?

We Used To Be Friends - The Dandy Warhols |

Meh. I don't feel like studying anymore for psych today so I've stopped. Oh well, I mean I probably should study a little more but I'll have plenty of time tomorrow before class and we're doing an extra credit questionnare thingy anyway. Yeah, excuses, excuses, but whatever.
I just had a longer than usualy phone convo with Mollie, which was nice, because FOR ONCE there was no one waiting to use the phone after her! So we could actually talk! YAY! except then someone did show up to use the phone, but hey we still got to talk.
So Allie and I had fun last night doing absolutely nothing (my favorite activity!) because we were supposed to watch HSM but then were distracted by LJ and icons and homemade pizza (which was delicious btw) and ended up not having enough time. But it was nice because I had a really bad driving (parking, really) experience earlier yesterday and I had been really upset so at least it kind of helped me forget about that and feel better and such. Yeah, parking is so not cool. I definately need more practice with it. As for general driving though I feel pretty good. So I guess we're progressing at a good pace.
So what has everyone chosen out to wear for their senior portraits? I need to reschedule mine but I keep forgetting. I don't know what I'm going to wear, especially since they want us to wear something with long sleeves and I had been considering something with short sleeves. Grr. I guess I'll find something, but I'm going to ask around and see what other people are wearing/have worn in the past. Oh and are you guys getting nail/hair apppointments and such? It threw me off a bit when the letter from the portrait people mentioned them cause I hadn't really thought about it, but it makes sense...
|
|
| Ah, good times, good times... |
[23 Jul 2006|12:21am] |
Well. Since Allie made me come back and all she also inspired me to make a new layout. This is for all the pencil inc.-ers out there who haven't quite gone into retirement. For old times sake. And for fun.
Don't forget to aim at Will!

Such Great Heights - The Postal Service |
] |
So I'm back to the world of Livejournal, at least for this week. And there's a freckle theme, in case you haven't noticed! I don't know why, but I've been in a freckley mood lately. Anyway, to go with the freckley mood we have a freckley journal layout decked with my own freckles at the top of the page. I'm also working on a new fic, very freckle related, and 15 points if you can guess who the freckled star of the story is (except mollie, cause she already knows!). And, of course, my current music mentions freckles (I was attracted to this song, by the way, when I heard its lyric about freckles and thought it was so utterly and fantastically endearing that I had to find the rest of the song).
So yeah, [moving on from freckles] I wanted to share with you guys some of the photographs from the photoshoot I did with Shana for my calendar. For those of you who don't already know, my calendar is for my photography class and it's going to be comprised of black and white bare-shouldered portraits of some lovely gals who happen to be my good friends. I'm going to start by posting Shana's pictures, and then maybe I'll post Mollie's [and then the other girls' once they're ready].
I'd love to hear your comments on these and which ones are your favorites, etc. That is, after all, the whole reason I posted them here.
( Follow me... )
Please, please, PLEASE do not save these, do not copy these, do not link to these, basically do not use these or alter these IN ANY WAY. They are my personal property and I'm sharing them with you guys so I can have some feedback on them.

Water - Jason Mraz |
] |
I'm listening to some of Jason's older stuff, his homemade/old/no-longer-on-sale CDs and such. Alas, this stuff makes me feel happy. And I'm now really excited because apparently he's coming to DC again on Dec. 12 (to the 9:30 Club)! The only problem is that it's on a sunday night, but I think I'll be able to convince my parents to let me go. I just have to find someone to come with me... I hope mollie and/or shana can come. That would be great! But yeah, since my parents paid for my ticket to the last (very recent) Mraz concert I'm paying for this one myself, so the money I made on saturday night babysitting is going to that. I really hope I get to go, and hopefully by that time he won't be as occupied with promoting the new CD and maybe he'll play 0% and FMGOAQ the faster old way. And maybe he'll talk more and share his silly, wonderful sense of humor. That'd all be fantabulous.
Anyway, today some people from Verizon came to our house to offer us an upgrade to Verizon FiOS. Yay, faster internet! Anyway, the point of the story is that it was this really nice girl and a nice guy. And omg. The guy reminded me SO much of Jim (except for a bit chubbier). But I swear, the way he acted, and the way he handled business, and EVERYTHING. And the girl and him interacted like real good friends and sometimes reminded me of jim and pam and it was so cute. I was extremely amused. They also took a picture of chicco with their camera phones, because as well all know, chicco is adorable. They had fun playing with chicco while the verizon people on the phone put us on hold, too. It was fun.
Well, that's all for now. Gotta go because the parents are home and mum's gonna take me to the mall after dinner to get a new sweatshirt (my old one got a big hole in it) and to get a black button-up shirt for my halloween costume (YAY for Alex Kapranos! Woot!)

The Geek in The Pink video premiered!!! You can see it on Launch. It is so amusing... and I thought Jason couldn't get any more insane. Man if I was one of those people on the street I SO would have grooved with him, whether it ended up in the video or not. And you gotta love the pink cotton candy and the pink flip flops; so cute. Best part though, is when he's silhouetted and dancing around to 'unoriginal dum-dums' and all. Definitely the best part with him shaking his skinny bottom. So amusing. Now I just want to see the video on TV and hear the song on the radio!

[11 Oct 2005|03:57pm] |
I just found out that Jason played 0% Interest at the concert the night before ours. I may cry. And I wish I had my license. If i did, I could drive out to see him again this Friday. Well, actually, I proabably couldn't because the PSAT is saturday morning. Damn standardized tests and damn the MVA.
I've been kind of annoyed with the weather recently, since I have to shoot for photography and it's been overcast and raining. Basically, that means I have to wait until the weather is better so I can shoot with good lighting, because I really want these photos to come out well. See, there's this Coca-Cola sponsered contest that I want to enter that gives recognition to people who enter it and not only would it be great for me but it would also satisfy my contest credit in photography for the quarter. So I'm going to have to wait for good weather and maybe turn this assignment in late (AGAIN). But it's not too big of a deal, because Mrs. Scott barely takes off any points for lateness. That is, when she even remembers to take any off. It might help that I never put the dates on my assesment sheet, and just make her think it's on time... lol.
As for tomorrow, I really don't feel like taking that practice PSAT, but oh well. I guess it can only help. Standardized tests are awful. At least I get Thursday off, unlike my Jewish buddies who have to go to services. Unfortunately, I'll be writing my English essay and studying for the real PSAT, but at least I get to sleep in.
And Homecoming grows closer! I think we've finally decided on Olazzo's for dinner (yay Italian!) and that we'll go to Tastee's for shakes/ice cream after the dance. Now we just have to figure out rides (eek!). I'm so glad Matt finally asked Maureen out; Shana and I gave him manly high fives during lunch today. And now Laura has to ask Tomas if he'll come with us (at least to dinner)! She says she 's going to call today or tomorrow, but we'll see if she chickens out. She's asking him to come as a friend, of course, so Matt won't be the only boy and because Tomas is awesome, but we all like to tease Laura about it anyway. Everything's finally working out. Except I'm not going to have a date this year, but that's nothing new. At least I won't be the only one, and I love going with my friends.
Now I've got to go do my lab write-up for Chemistry. I hope all that wasn't too random...

I've got a lovely new layout to accompany my concert-high. I've been in such a good mood.
Now, I'd love to give you all the details now, but I'm waiting for Shana to load up the pics and I'm also waiting until I download the concert. Got to go sit with the parents; they're off work today.
Oh, and Shana found an article in the newspaper about how immigrants refuse to use the dishwasher. It made me laugh.

I have so much reading to do, and it's all the fault of Ap English. I hope at least the articles are interesting, because I don't have too much faith that Thoreau will be interesting. GAH. And there's that stupid math packet and the fact that I keep screwing up in chemistry and my mom is putting a lot of pressure on me to do well in that class. Damn Junior year. I want it to be the weekend, I want to watch Smallville, I want to see Mollie, I want to hang out with people, I want to listen to music, and I want to dance with someone. I don't want to do my homework.
And I haven't had time to finish my little present for Amy. Or my get-well creation for Mollie.
Sorry if you read through that POINTLESS rant. It only served to further my procrastination.
