Listening to: For the Girl - The Fratellis

Edit: Ok so the whole e-commerce thing is under construction but hopefully *crosses fingers* it will work and you will be able to purchase layouts and such!!

Ugh I am mentally beating my self over the head.. It’s been so long since I wrote a blog!

So you will notice a few changes around the site.. My life is starting to get a lot more straightened out so I can get back to the important things.. Yes, I did change the font in case you were scratching your head trying to figure out what’s different. I just think that this one looks better and the old one was bothering me.. Another change you might notice is I am fixing up the sidebar a little. It’s wider and I updated my about me page, it was seriously bugging me! I am also working on creating some more wordpress oriented content. Also I am looking for some great new plug ins.. I have a few in mind I just have to find again. I am still working on those themes but I’ve kinda hit a wall so I thought I would work on some other content.

Schools been pretty good lately.. I have started hanging out with KC and Phillip lately. It’s just so much easier to get along with guys than girls. Everything is so much more straight forward.

I have been in a very rock-ish mood lately. Not like emo heavy metal stuff but perky summery stuff. I am do ready for it to be summer, I have my window open today which is a first in months and I’m loving it!! I cannot believe how much I missed nice weather and how big of impact a little bit of sunshine can have on my mood. Back to music, I have been listening to Augustana, The Fratellis, U2 (I finally got the last of my U2 put on my laptop, thank gawd. I had no clue how I survived without it!) Mana, and Beck.

I have also been writing more lately thanks to a comment from McKenna. Here is the latest thing I wrote, I have been actually been working on it for a couple of weeks but I am finally satisfied with it enough to post it:

Once a man who was filled with wealth but also filled with woe, he decided to use his wealth to build a gilded home. The gilded home soon drew a crowd of golden girls, begging and pleading to be allowed in. As long as he kept the beauty in his world would never end. Once they came they soon discovered the home was not all they believed. As soon as they discovered this they all began to leave. The man watched as his world shattered in his hands so he turned the home into a cage. Over time the gilded cage faded into grey. The candles were extinguished and the music no longer played. As they watched their home disintegrate the golden girls also withered away. Accepting this as a grave carved in stone they began to live once more. They brought the joy back into the cold walls and the music echoed through the halls. The cage had changed back to the home and finally the golden girls were free to go.

Any feedback is welcome and greatly appreciated. Also any ideas for new content would be awesome.

Luv you all and really you don’t know how much your help your support has been for getting through all this.

Listening to: On The Radio - Regina Spektor

Edit: Ok so I have been informed by one of my hostees that they no longer want to be hosted so if I emailed you that I cannot host you and have ran out of room please email me if you still want to be hosted. If nobody emails me in the next week or two I will open up the applications again.

The revamp is going pretty good.. I have reorganized the way the pages are and I am working on updating the site content page and reorganizing it.. My todo list is lengthy so I have no clue how long this will take. I wish I could say that it would be done in a week or two but I doubt it will..

So my last post was extremely long and I am going to try to match my length lol.

Vacation has been good the first day we got here I was pretty much dead. I just sat and slept a little. (red eyes will do that to you..) The next day we went to Macy’s after xmas sale. It was crazy, I did get a new coat though and my first coach bag! The coat is blue and grey and black and it’s about knee length. I am seriously in love with it! It’s perfect and it’s DKNY which I have no problem with lol. The purse is little and black and it has this wide silver sparkly band around it. It’s really nice though because it’s coach but it doesn’t scream coach at you. It has the little Cs on it but they’re really discreet. The next day we staid in Queens and went to Century 21. I really could live there!!! I got two juicy swim suits. One was a blue one piece with white polka dots. It’s really nice to find a one piece that isn’t grannyish.. I also got another juicy swim suit and a brown coverup. Then I got a pair of orange pajama pants and a white pajama top. Plus a new blue scarf that matches my new coat and a green DKNY skirt and a black BCBG dress. The dress is really pretty and it should fit for a while (it’s stretchy and a little to big but it was 50% off so who cares!). That was about the extent of my shopping..

The nutcracker was amazing.. The set for the second act was beautiful it looked like a giant doily. The dancing was great but the female ballerinas were no better than the ones in the version I normally see. Clara was really young though she couldn’t have been older than 10.

Yesterday we went to some museum my mom wanted to see and just walked around. We had dinner at this really good italian place in the village. A bunch of my relatives came too I think there where 17 of us. We took up like half the place.

I got The Sweet Far Thing the day it came out (the 26th) and I am only on page 435. It’s really good but it’s moving really slowly. I am kind of disapointed that Kartik isn’t in it more. I am a little over half way done (and by a little I mean like 27 pages..) the book is about 820 pages long which is about twice the length of the first.. I am also reading The A-List which is pretty good.. I am only like 40 pages into it but it’s pretty good.. I like the writing style a lot better than The Clique or Gossip Girl.

One book I would recomend to most anybody is The Queen’s Soprano. It’s really good.. I’m almost done with it and I am really liking it.

Well I should probebly go back to my revamping.. Sadly this post hasn’t matched the last one in length but oh well..
