• About Me

    Athena, a mathalete cannot survive without her macbook dubbed Fred by her mother. A chocolate addict and music fanatic. She listens to everything from Beck to Ingrid Michaelson to U2 to Sia to Jem, just to name a few. She will never be caught without at least 3 books handy. (My parents have started checking my suitcase before we go anywhere after I brought 15 books with me to Seattle.) So that's Athena in a teaspoon take it or leave it.

    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

    Far Away - Ingrid Michaelson
    Around You - Ingrid Michaelson

    Hi - Psapp
    Silver Lining - Rilo Kiley
    Between the Lines - Sara Bareilles

    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
