As dumb as the ‘Inspired by Starbucks’ stores actually are, (http://www.psfk.com/2009/07/inside-starbucks-new-stealth-store-15th-avenue-e-coffee-and-tea.html), it’s totally brilliant. Because here I am thinking “Wow, I want to find a fake Starbucks and see what it’s like.” It’s so much more quaint and un-modernesque. And tea is in the name. It’s...

YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY.
i was so annoyed with God, because i was seriously begging him for strength and awakeness last night, and i did not get it today. i spilled my silver powder eyeshadow all over my outfit, we didn’t have milk for cereal, my coffee tasted bitterbitterbitter, i had bio (which is a 5 hour class), i’m super stressed about all these tests i have coming up (and am not prepared for), and my...
I was in the mood to listen to Tik Tok by Ke$ha
loveemusica:
I decided to turn on the radio jokingly thinking it would be faster than finding it online…. I was right. It came on 30 seconds after I turned the radio on.
hahaha, i did the same thing yesterday.
mornings come too early.
silver sparkle-dust covered me, not so subtly
it really was an accident, i’m wasn’t trying to be a fairy
and i didn’t cry because the milk spilled
i cried because it was gone and i didn’t know what to eat
it was a good day to wear black, except the fuzz that stuck to me
my shirt, my skirt, my coat, my stockings
i prayed for strength and i don’t think it came

Mozart and the Whale
such a beautiful movie. i smiled and cried through the whole thing. it was such an answer to prayer too, because today i was kind of in a “what am i doing with my life” mood and was telling myself that i don’t know anything about speech therapy and i’ll probably be awful at it and i don’t want to be in college for a million more years. but it reminded me what a heart...

I was watching last night’s Idol on the DVR and I saw Andrew Garcia and I’m like ”Hey, Josh! I know who that is! Well…from YouTube…” haha, such a dork.

draw you.
-if you would like a brilliant sale, go to Target where Rodarte Collection is 30%-50% off! it was very tempting. i got a grey sweater (ha, just what i need, right?) and i bought the raincoat a while ago. kind of annoyed that i could’ve saved $12, but oh well.

i have a conundrum, people
ok, so i get a phone upgrade with discounts in about a month and i’m trying to decide what to get. i have the Rant right now, and i love the color, but it’s not working that well and it freezes on me a lot. so here are my choices!
#1: HTC Hero. Looks very fun, has the zooming in thing that the iPhone does, SMUDGE-FREE SCREEN!!!!, and i wanted this one first so i’m more inclined....
Coffee at Midnight-Everlife
well, it is friday...
this week i’ve been trying to eat more healthy. healthily? health-like? well, whichever word it is…i’ve done pretty well. these helped a lot, haha.
but i’m done with school for the week and i want to sit in bed and eat chocolate ice cream or cupcakes and read and watch NBC via internet. and i probably will.

valentines coffee.
Lady Lissa and I used to drink Cinnamon Dolce Lattes around Valentines Day and write stories in the Village Mall. It was haunted. I don’t know what it is like now. Probably the same. Anyway, Julie and I went to coffee. I forgot they remodeled my Starbucks, I haven’t been there in so long. Coffee is expensive. Too expensive. Did it get more expensive? Cause it was $4.19 for a...

“Growing up in church, we were taught that Jesus was the answer to all our problems. We were taught that there was a circle-shaped hole in our heart and we had tried to fill it with the square pegs of sex, drugs, and rock and roll; but only the circle peg of Jesus could fill our holes. I became a Christian based, in part, on this promise, but the hole never really went away. To...

582. EVERYONE HATES WHEN YOU WRITE "ALOT" A LOT.
loveemusica:
(via gotwisdom)
ummm disagree. “ALOT” is not a word. It’s a lot. “Alot” just make you look ignorant and like a fool.
I think they mean what you’re saying actually. Like, people hate it when people say “alot” often/a lot/frequently.

I was so bored.
so good Bri!! wow, we wanted to have a web show a whole year ago?! haha, i’m excited we’re actually doing it. www.theblinggirls.tumblr.com starts tomorrow!

cleaning my room. all the dust from my newly arranged bookcase is settling in my lungs. i think i’m getting sick, but not from the dust. i hate being in bad moods. i’m glad my mom is patient with me…i think i would get annoyed having me around all the time, haha. back to cleaning =[
america should use the metric system.
I have finally finished my first week of second semester! French is the same but more interesting, I think. History will be a lot of work, but it’s online so I can get it done whenever I want. Education is pretty easy. It’s more like a discussion among future teachers (even though I’m not studying to be a teacher per se). I have to attend a school board meeting and do two observation on classes....
this house.
how does 38 degrees feel wonderful and spring like?? that’s only a few degrees away from freezing. but it’s pretty great. watching full house with my sister and then i’m gonna go meet the pavy for coffee.

project #2 of the year
there’s no way i would spend $60 on this shirt (if you would, it’s from www.shopruche.com) so i’ve decided to make it.
it probably won’t be as colorful cause i’m The Mist (my band role description/superhero name) but something along the lines of this. my first project of the year was to cover folders in pages from Urban Outfitter magazines. i feel like i’m...
