December 2011
I just made Chris watch the Notebook with me.
And I cried like a damn fool.
Just finished the Hunger Games.
Now, I need to get my hands on the second one!
Until then, I am going to be reading Neon Angel: A Memoir of a Runaway by Cherie Currie, watch Criminal Minds, wait for my records to arrive, and avoid going outside.
- Parents: get off the computer
- Me: excuse me, I'm a professional blogger have more respect
New Years Resolutions
♥ Save money.

♥ Be a better friend and make more of an effort to get out and see people/places/things.
♥ Write more letters to friends and family.
♥ Take a burlesque class!
♥ Stand up for myself more and work on being a little less of a pushover.
♥ Become more informed and active in my beliefs.
♥ Try new foods and cook more.
♥ Read more and keep better track of the books I read.
♥ Meditate and work on harnessing my attitude/occasional anger.

“May your coming year be filled with magic and dreams and good madness. I hope you read some fine books and kiss someone who thinks you’re wonderful, and don’t forget to make some art — write or draw or build or sing or live as only you can. And I hope, somewhere in the next year, you surprise yourself.”

Dream dangerously, everyone.

back home in chicago.
it feels good.
i also started reading The Hunger Games and I am already so hooked. Ahh, I will probably be done with it tonight and I need to find a way to get my hands on the second and third ones!
Christmas questions?
http://kittenroar.tumblr.com/ask
tell me what you got! tell me how your day was! ask me anythang.
obligatory "what i got for christmas" post.
- a kindle (which I am so torn about, you have no idea)
- corpse bride DVD
- two cardigans
- ballet flats
- a hand mixer
- cookie sheets & cake pans
- a cupcake scented thing?
- just dance 3
- money to get a dresser (!!!!! this i am most excited about. i can’t wait to start organizing our room and making it more cozy)
And from Chris, he ordered me a record player and Abbey Road on vinyl, which I am also really excited about. It will be placed upon my dresser with my cupcake scented thing and I will spend hours in there.
I am so grateful for everything that I received. I think though, that the BEST gift this year, was being able to come home, spend time with my family, and my dad has stayed true to his word and is staying away from alcohol. Last year, his drinking caused a lot of problems for us, and this year I asked him to please, please, please stay away from the beer for the holidays. And he has. I love it.
With my Christmas money, I am signing up for burlesque classes. I am so stoked.

“My advice is to do what you can this second. Big plans that rely on other people, new equipment, long periods of time… they’re no good. What can you do right now? Delve under the anxieties until you get to a place that’s mysterious enough.”

skrillex then vs now
- me: i think it's funny that i used to love From First to Last and no one gave a shit and now sonny moore is one of the most popular dubstep DJs around.
- sister: who is he?
- me: skrillex.
- sister: SERIOUSLY?! weird.
- me: yes. weird.

what are your favorite stores to shop in?
For clothing, I try to go as cheap as possible. H&M, Forever 21, Old Navy, Urban Outfitters Outlet store, etc. If I feel like “splurging,” I hit up American Apparel, Urban Outfitters, Modcloth.
For anything else, I can’t go into target without spending at least ten dollars. and I LOVE crate & barrel and other stores with home goods.
