Times They Are A-Changin...

So everyone should go see "I'm Not There," it was sincerely the most amazing movie I've seen since "Green Street Hooligans." Anyone who knows me, knows that's me saying A LOT.
But I basically had the most amazing day yesterday. I love happy accidents.
I've been mega sick lately, and Alex came over to take care of me on Saturday. Sunday, I felt better, so we decided to go see "I'm Not There" but got on the wrong el line. So we ended up walking to a different theatre and saw "Atonement." It was mega good, but I'm glad I've read like half of the book, or I feel like I wouldn't have understood certain parts so well.
After that we went to Border's and wandered for a while. I got "Brokeback Mountain" and "Wide Sargasso Sea." Alex got a French magazine.
After that we were hungry so went to this place called Soupbox. Well Alex couldn't have any of the soups there, so they guys there felt bad, and gave her a free salad. They were mega nice and we ended up hanging out and talking to them for a while. The one guy called Alex a loser and I thought I was going to die of laughter. We plan on going and seeing them again. They were hilarious. But while we were there we decided to go see "I'm Not There" since there was another showing at 10.
So we saw it.
And I fell in love.
I really think you have to see "Velvet Goldmine" to appreciate it, but even so, if you like Dylan, you will like that movie. I couldn't get over it. I can't stop thinking about it, or listening to Dylan for that matter.
I really want the soundtrack. I need it.
But yeah, so we walked to the red line stop, and the last train was leaving as we were walking up. So we had to walk a few more blocks to the next station, but I liked it.
I adore walking around the city at night, no matter how creepy it is.
And Alex and Jenna brought me cupcakes on Saturday. I felt bad I didn't really get to meet Jenna, but I know there will be more chances.

Swirlz cupcakes cure illness, I'm convinced.
2 movies in 1 day.

Love.

She's A Brick And I'm Drowning Slowly

I give up.
Congratulations universe, you win.

Cause I Was Tired Of Lying

I am so sick! This is horrible, absolutely horrible.
I cannot stop getting headaches. I hope I am better by the GirlTalk concert on Friday, I'll feel real bad if I don't go. And I'll be very sad.
But Jessy said either way she is going to visit on Saturday, which is exciting.
I really want to see Alex this weekend too, I'm actually going to ask her to come stay with me the first weekend of February.
And I need to find a good weekend to stay with Jessy.
Basically, my weekends are gonna be mega full for a while.
But I still really want a job. Badly.
But first I need to stop being so sick. I feel terrible. My head is constantly pounding. I hate it, getting up is a hassle. Like me head feels like it weighs a million pounds. I am currently laying here, typing this, it's awkward haha.
Oo oo! I got a lot farther in "Atonement" today, I'm excited.
I haven't eaten anything except Wheat Thins today, so I think I'm going to try to order a sandwich from Uncle Sammy's. I really hope they're open. I'm SO hungry.

Where Are We?

So this is about to be an obscenely long blog, I'm going to start with that, I can feel it already. I have so much to say and I only hope that I can get it all out.
Where to begin, where to begin?
Ok this past weekend, I was with my favorite Aunt (Lisa) and I had so much fun!
I spent time with my thirteen year old cousin, Sammi, she honestly reminds me of an exact mini version of myself, or at least me at thirteen. It's eerie.
But I had a really amazing talk with my aunt about a lot of things. She's honest, but in a sweet way. Honestly, she is exactly the type of woman I would like to be when I'm older. She's such an amazing mother, wife, and person.
We went shopping on Friday, and I shopped at Hollister for the first time. I got magenta skinny pants, for $9.90. Holla! I was mega excited, I got a lot of new clothes this weekend. I'm very happy. Oh and my aunt also bought my cousin and I the same Jonas Brothers shirt, hilarious. I actually wore my Jonas Brothers shirt and magenta pants today, complete with side ponytail, mainly because I could. Haha.
I also miss Alex.
Endlessly. It didn't really hit me until today. But I truly miss her.
I talked to her on the phone for like an hour today, and it made it worse.
I really miss her. A lot. *sigh*
Oo oo! So my cousin Michelle and I decided to go to Border's today, which turned into an amazing adventure. We ended up walking all over the city, and it was FREEZING, but we still had a good time.

So this is why I should never be allowed into Border's with vast amounts of gift cards and money.

Yeah, that's nine new books. I'm pretty excited, they're basically motivation to finish "Atonement" and "North and South." But If you look closely, "About A Boy" is an autographed copy. Yeah, I'm a nerd. Whatev. Haha. I honestly find myself updating my goodreads account more than facebook. It's an obsession.
I love reading more than anything. I need to find a job that suits this. ASAP.
I really do need a job, I want to work at Border's so bad, I probably should have checked to see if they were hiring. Zut alors!
Okay, on to the elephant in the room: Heath Ledger.
I am endlessly sad about this and feel like crying. I truly believe it was an accident, I think that he wouldn't do something like that in the middle of filming a movie, and more importantly, to his two year old daughter. And I think it's so sick that they took pictures and filmed video of his body leaving his apartment. Honestly, that's such a private matter, no one needs to see it. It's just so sad, they're making him out to be Anna Nicole Smith, when I think he should be compared to James Dean. Heath Ledger was only twenty-eight, he was gone too young. He was also an incredibly talented actor, I mean "Brokeback Mountain" anyone? Alex and I are going to watch it together and bawl our eyes out. *sigh* It's just all really upsetting.
Well I have a feeling I had more to say, but now I can't think of it.

GO GO GO

Ok so I have about a million and two things to get done today, all before 1.15 pm. Haha yeah right...
I'm leaving to go stay with my (favorite) aunt and uncle for the weekend, I'm mega excited. Though they're mega Christian, which also makes me mega nervous, but oh well. I always have fun with them, they're crazy. And it freaks me out that my cousin Sam is thirteen, let me tell you. This girl is gorgeous, comes from a mega Christian family, and will probably be the one showing up at my doorstep one of the days because she's been kicked out or something crazy. Oh Samantha...
I really do have to go get stuff done now. So, here I go, maybe, perhaps, hopefully...
Oh oh! Before I forget, my digital camera is finally working again!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't know what happened, but it does, I took pictures of Kelly actually doing laundry yesterday. It was momentous.

Resolutions...

I never gave my New Year's resolutions, so here goes...

+make dinner at least twice a week
+explore someplace new in the city once a month
+don't get hung up on the little things
+learn something new
+read more often
+keep a regular blog
+do something amazing

It's not a long list, but it's enough for me.
Wow, I'm so tired. I could not for the life of me fall asleep last night. I don't know why, I guess I'm kind of stressing out pretty bad lately.
I'm considering taking only 2 classes this trimester, but taking like 6 next semester, but I'm a little concerned about being considered a part time student, and losing my housing. We shall see.
Oo oo! I cleaned the kitchen and did the dishes today, I was so proud of myself. I still have to finish taking out the garbage. But it's still semi early. That and "The Office" is on, and I'm currently typing this during commercial breaks, so it's taking a while. I honestly do not know what I would do without this show, I'd probably feel like something was missing in my life.

My friend Carrie may come out and visit me tomorrow. That would be nice, I don't think I've seen her since Prom, so you know... I still haven't heard from my favorite Aunt about visiting this weekend, but I did get the birthday gift from her today. I'll put it this way: there's a reason she's my favorite. =] hahahaha.

You know what would be super fab? If my digital camera would start working again. I hate not having a camera. It makes me sad.

Oh boy, there's so much I still have to do tonight, I didn't even realize. But I did cross a whole bunch more off of my to do list today. I love when it gets smaller.

So I'm simultaneously reading two books, "Jane Eyre" and "Atonement." Anyone who knows me, knows I adore the Brontes, so you know. But I really wish "Atonement" would pick up, I really want to see the movie, but I want to read the book first, and my dear Alex LOVES it, so I am going to finish it. Soon.

That and she lent me two other books, and I'll feel real bad if I don't finish them in a good amount of time.

Ok, ok I'm going to finish some stuff up.

Love.

Nineteen

So I turned nineteen a few days ago.
It's pretty exciting. My final year as a teenager, aka my final year to use "teen angst" as an excuse. It's also pretty strange because it has occurred to me that after this, I enter my 20's. Yikes. But I'm fairly optimistic for this new year, I want to accomplish so much in my life, and I'm finally feeling ready to get those things accomplished.
Oo I also am pretty excited about the money I should have by the end of the week, my last paycheck from work is finally coming in.
*excitement*
But I promise I'm going to be better at saving, and since I'm all stocked up on food, I really have no excuse to waste money. Even though I need new clothes, and could use a good spree at Border's. I really want to try to get a job there, I think it would be perfect.
I also really want to drop my philosophy class, but I'm scared I would be considered a part time student and I wouldn't be able to stay here with my Kelly. =[ sadness.
I'm going to call tomorrow to find out. Wow, there's a lot I need to get done. I wanted to today, but I'm beyond the valley of exhaustion. I did get some stuff done though, I love crossing things off of my to do list. It makes me feel good, and like I'm actually accomplishing things. But I have a ton of stuff left.
I could also really use some quarters. I need to do laundry like nobody's business. I still have underwear, but socks are starting to lack. Hmm, time to go shopping?
