I've moved!

I'm nervous that people I might know have seen this, so if you want it,

comment below, and i will send it to you. Or if you want me to follow yours, let me know!

It's a wordpress blog, so it's a bit different than blogger.

I'm keeping this up momentarily, until I can transfer my good posts to that blog.

happy blogging!

I love you to the moon and back.

Well I don't care too much for anniversaries, but the firsts ones are always important. I also love crafting for almost any occasion.

I decided to make his gifts only, except for the picture frame obvs, and it turned out really well.

I made a homemade card. I always thought those were better than any in the store.

I made him a journal of our "firsts" along with other things, like quotes, movie stubs, and pictures that he thought I deleted (mainly embarassing photos of him). Not only will he enjoy it, it was fun for me to make as well.

However, the main event, was the mason jar full of surprises that I thought of on the way to work on Monday.

A jar full of little things, like "I'll buy dinner" and things like that. I also put that he is a butt sometimes. And other phrases.

Once I finished that, I used transfer letters and transferred a phrase (I love you to the moon and

back) on the jar. It was tedious and took some time, but scotch tape is a big help.

Then, I did the same thing, on the top, with minimal instructions. 

I also took some ribbon I had lying around and tied it around the jar. I figure he can use it to put his spare change in once he's done with the surprises. 

I think the best thing is that these gifts give you the freedom to pretty much do what you want. 

I am totally satisfied with the results. I would post them on my other blog for everyone to see, but he follows me on those, so that probably wouldn't be ideal. I'll have to wait until Monday, when he gets to see them.

I  generally hate all things cheesy, but these were really fun to make, and the fact that I didn't have to go on pinterest or whatever to create these really gave me some hope on my crafting future.

If you have any other cool ideas, let me know; I love crafting, especially if it's for others.

Incendiary

"People must of taken pity because I scraped together a fiver. I spent it on a Happy Meal for my boy and an extra large Fanta and we sat at a table in the corner of McDonald's. My boy was sulking and I couldn't blame him Osama I mean no boy should have to see his mum on the cadge like that. He wouldn't touch his Happy Meal and in the end I had to eat it for him."

I don't know why but that part really opened the character for me. A woman going insane upon the wreckage of herself, and the death of her family.

I'm terribly obsessed with this book.

Back to Black.

Current inspiration for the upcoming purgatory stage between summer and fall (class time ick), with a mood to match.

happiness.

I believe that this is something that everyone deserves, no matter what you have done or said in your life. For the past year, that's what I've found. Someone who make me happy in every which way, even when he's being an annoying little dick.

I try my best to be discreet about it, because no one wants to be the girl who is just obsessed with her boyfriend (cough cough almost everyone I know who is in a relationship). To be honest though, I'm not obsessed. We have a good understanding of things, and we are both too busy getting our lives on track to be obsessed with each other.

This month might be the only month where I get to see him more than two days a week, and actually it's just two days, and an evening. He's quiet here, and he even helps clean. He stays out of everyone's way. But, because it's a Monday, my roommates don't approve. They make him feel unwelcome. It's actually a pile of bullshit because I've dealt with them and their boyfriends for a while. They may not stay the night all the time, but it's because they live 5-10 minutes away. It's frustrating because they don't understand, and they just think I'm hopelessly in love, because I'm the one who has the shortest relationship so far in the house. Sorry I didn't meet my boyfriend my junior year of high school, and sorry I didn't meet my love in a retail store fairy tale. Everyone has their own time, and this is mine. They will never understand.

I also wish they would tell me whats up instead of posting passive aggressive tweets, or saying passive aggressive comments to my face. That just upsets me more. For example when you tweet that you forever wish you live alone, after I walked downstairs, I will like, comment, and RT that shit, because sorry I walked down and opened a couple doors. Ridiculous.

One even accidentally mention that they liked when I was alone, single, always home. No, sorry I am not going to sulk in my misery while being alone just so you can be happy. I'm sick of always doing what makes other's happy all the damn time. I try my best to be the best roommate/friend and I am just supposed to be there on call for them, while they are in love and hopeless and happy? I am so happy that they are happy, really. Everyone deserves it. But, I don't think someone's unhappiness should contribute to that.

I DESERVE TO BE HAPPY. I AM DONE PUTTING MYSELF LAST.

I am in love with my room. I am i love with my house. My roommates, eh. I think it's time to move on soon.

21.

I've finally reached the infamous 21. I was surrounded by people all day who basically wanted me to ditch my responsibilities and go get drunk. Not my style, but thanks. I did have a drink at dinner, but I drank it kinda quick, and I wasn't about to go down that road, so that was it. Lame, I know, but I worked all morning, and finals are next week. I can go crazy next weekend.

I am so grateful for all the people in my life. I got gift cards, eileen's cookies, headphones, and a record player. My roommates may drive me insane, but they really are the best roommates ever, overall. It's a Crosley, so it will probably destroy my records in the long run. So, all my rare finds will only played a couple times. I can't wait to finish my room, and build up my vinyl collection.

I went to the Museum of Osteology this weekend, for a bio project. It was in the middle of nowhere, but it was interesting, and I got lil something from the gift shop. I also went to Half Priced Books, for comic book day, and I found a Shakespeare collection, while my boy got a free comic book.

We also saw Iron Man 3, and for those who don't know the story, it's pretty awesome. For those who know the story of Iron Man, the first half was amazing, while the second half was shit, due to the "plot twist". But enough of that.

Here are my birthday weekend finds.

1. Bon Iver, Explosions int he Sky, Of Monsters and Men vinyl

2. Black leather journal

3. Hubler , Shakespeare collection

4. Skull bracelet, from museum

I am really pleased with my finds. I'm hoping that after finals, I can go thrifting/garage sale-ing for some cool things for my room. 

Happy Finals Week!

April obsessions.

This is my busiest month of the semester, with all my projects, tests, etc. coming upon me this month. I have at least 2 tests and 2 quizzes each week, not including all the papers. For all of you that haven't quite made it to college, here's my advice to you: Don't slack off in the beginning, because in the end, you will have to catch up and taking 19 hours per semester for 2 years isn't the bees knees.

But, one thing that keeps me partially sane is usually shopping, blogging, and music. Since I am extremely broke, and saving for my Hong Kong trip (which I will be blogging everyday for), I decided that music was my next best option. I have currently blocked UO.com, society6, and tobi.com.
I will open those up again in the beginning of May, when my birthday comes :)

So, here are my current music obsessions.

The 20/20 Experience//Justin Timberlake:I have loved JT since I was little, obviously, because which 90s kid didn't. But, I was never too happy with any of his albums. I always liked a few, but not all. This album however, exceeded all expectations. I never listen to radio music, but I occasionally will turn it on in hopes of his songs being on there. But then I caved and bought the album, so that solved that problem.
Favorite Song: Mirrors. This song is catchy, and it is very sweet. After watching the video, I wanted to die. First off, it's dedicated to his grandparents. Also the passing of the ring was my favorite part. It's so precious, and obviously referring to his marriage with Jessica Biel. They are just so in love and precious, it makes me want to die.

Era Extraña//Neon Indian: I remember that I had vaguely heard of them in the past, and I recognized some of their songs. However, after seeing them live at Lollapalooza (which I just remembered I never finished posting those. The photos are just lost in my computer that's why) I fell in love with them. First off, they are nice guys who just love to perform.   I remember how sad they were that their performance got cut short because of the rain. Since I've been weeping over the fact that I can't go, I started listening to this album again, and it is just so good.

Favorite Song: Polish Girl. The song makes me so happy, and it makes me want to have impromptu dance parties in my room. I love  listening to it anywhere, and it instantly puts me in a better mood, and it makes me think of Lolla. They have a little different sound to them, which I like.

My Head is An Animal//Of Monsters and Men: I saw them at Lollapalooza too, and they have that indie, but happy feel to them. I was slightly displeased when Little Talks made it to the radio, because then the little hipster want to be's appear, and I don't like dealing with them. However, their music is too good, and definitely going to be one of the first vinyls I buy (When I get a turntable one of these days).

Favorite Song: Little Talks. It's really hard for me, because I love all the songs on this album, but the video for Little Talks makes me love that song even more. The whole video is giant mindfuck. I mean for starters the director's name is WeWereMonkeys. C'mon now. Also the realistically paper cut out of the band was too cool for me. It basically shows them going on a trippy adventure. But when was the last time you saw an interesting music video that wasn't just singing, dance moves, and overly sexualized individuals?

So, with that being said, my current obsession is music, music videos, and making .gif sets of each video. If you want to see those, you can refer back to my tumblr. Just leave a comment with yours, and I will follow you, and you can follow back if you think that's cool. (I'm not really shamelessly promoting here right? I mean none of you, except 1 person knows who I am.) 

Oh, I'm also loving how music videos are finally coming back. By that, I mean non-crappy ones.
