Listening to: Underdog - Spoon

[Edit] Ok so I am going to be working some on a new layout for the next hour so don’t freak out if the site looks messed up. I am just trying to figure out some new css codes..[/edit]

Ok. So I am totally addicted to this song! It’s so fun to run around and dance to like crazy..

I got another itunes gift card so it looks like my itunes library wont starve for a very long time..

Since I last wrote I have downloaded:

Underdog - Spoon
The Scientist - Coldplay
Hang Me Up To Dry - Cold War Kids
Merry Happy - Kate Nash (Ok if you like Lily Allen then you will love Kate Nash..)
Breathe In Breathe Out - Mat Kearney
All These Things That I’ve Done - The Killers
Where I Stood - Missy Higgins Big Girl (You Are Beautiful) - MIKA

Not quite as much as last time but don’t worry people I’m working on it.

So my friend Maddie is going to be Clara in the Nutcracker! Me and my other friend Katherine are going to see her perform tonight. I am really happy for her, she has been practicing every day for like 4 months because for the second week she is doing Snow, Waltz, Chinese, and something else I can’t remember. I guess this year I’ll be seething the Nutcracker twice! (Once for Maddie and once in NY). This year my family isn’t going to Europe, we just don’t have time this summer We might remodel our upstairs though! I am going to plead with my mom so I can kick one of the walls out in my room. I also really need to get a new bed and desk. My bed creeks like crazy whenever I roll over and I’ve had it since I was 3 or 4. My desk has all these stains on it and it’s pretty dinged up I’ve had it since I was like 7. My dressers fine though I got it the summer before last.

This week I have staid home from school a lot. I had a temperature of 99.6 yesterday and 99.3 the day before that. Today though I’m feeling better which is good. I am still chained to the tissue box :P.

As for the updates, I made a few more icons in illustrator I just have to upload them and I added a new tutorial, how to be a good web designer. The icons should be done this weekend.

I am sad. There are no new episodes of my shows until the new year :P. Gah. Darn TV people you are killing me!

Well TTFN I need to go take a shower.

PS. Is it just me or is the visual/code editor thing in WP a pain in the butt??!!!

Listening to: Hi - Psapp

[Edit] So just for fun I added this little map thingy at the bottom of the page.. I wont leave it up for long I just want to see how much data it can get in two or three days.. So well enjoy. Oh it’s a map of the exact location of each visitor.. Cool huh.? Don’t worry I got rid of the thing that says like the city and state so you just get to look at the picture so yeah. :p [/edit] 

Heyy peoples.. I really was starting to feel guilty for my lack of blogging so this should be a pretty long post so go get a cup of hot coco and start reading.

So for my birthday the one present I actually got on it (well technically two days after) was a $50 itunes gift card!!! I am so excited.. So far I have gotten:

Timebomb - Beck
Life Is Short - Butterfly Boucher
Never Leave Your Heart Alone - Butterfly Boucher
I Feel It All - Feist
My Moon My Man - Feist
Sea Lion Woman - Feist
Fly Me Away - Goldfrapp
Number 1 - Golfrapp
Breakable - Ingrid Michaelson
Overboard - Ingrid Michaelson
Far Away - Ingrid Michaelson
Around You - Ingrid Michaelson
Knock ‘Em Out - Lily Allen
Everything’s Just Wonderful - Lily Allen
Work That - Mary J. Blige
Mercy - OneRepublic
Cosy In the Rocket - Psapp
Hi - Psapp
Silver Lining - Rilo Kiley

And I got 4 episodes of Bones 1 episode of Ugly Betty and 1 episode of Grey’s Anatomy..My itunes library is no longer on a diet lol. My dad actually forgot it was my birthday though so that kinda sucked.Lately I have been listening to lots of techno-pop-ish music. I am still totally in love with Ingrid Michaelson but but Feist and Psapp have been added to my total obsession list.. I would recommend all of these songs to anybody lol. 

You may be wondering about the title of this post well I have found that my parakeet, Azul, is actually quite picky about music! He like Psapp. Whenever I play Hi he starts tweeting like crazy it’s so funny. He also likes Respect yep. No joke. Oh and he likes Fidelity by  Regina Spektor. Personally I like his taste most of the time he likes really bubbly pop stuff but he seems to have a thing for Coldplay go figure.  

So as for updates I am working on the brush set as promised. It’s kind of a hard one to make, I have to trace all of these flowers in illustrator. I only have a few more to got though so it should be done soon. I am finishing up with a new free layout or two so those should be up soon. Also I am working on a couple of new AP tuts. Oh! We have gots us a new hostee! Alex has her site up so be sure to go check it out Alex Gets Real @ Abelinda.net .. I still have some spots left I think but I got an email the other day from someone who wanted to get hosted so if that works out we will have another hostee.

I am kind of glad and kind of sad that my dark room class is over. It can be so much fun but it can be really boring it all depends on your negatives.. I really enjoy taking the pictures more that developing them though.

I am getting really frustrated with ballet I am seriously getting nowhere and two of my friends are changing studios. I kind of want to change too but I would feel so guilty since so many people are changing.

Oh. I have a book for you. Ender’s Game. It’s one of the best scifi novels ever.. Seriously. It’s little gorey though so don’t read and eat… I am so so so so excited. Under a month until A Sweet Far Thing comes out.. I cannot wait to find out what happens gah. Well enough book rambling I better go work some more on those update I promised you all..

TTFN
