A okay.

so when i was in sixth grade,
we would have to write books, and we were required to use each page as a letter of the alphabet.
each letter would have to stand for something about us or something we love.
here is the "ABC's of me" ten years later
let's just take this one day at a time.

 A

Audrey Hepburn.

"I believe in manicures. I believe in overdressing. I believe in primping at leisure and wearing lipstick. I believe in pink. I believe happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day, and... I believe in miracles."

precious.

i should've seen it coming.
after watching the six hour pride and prejudice with jeff, i had to know i was going to get payback.
and i did.

that's right.
me and mr. elsey spent our memorial day watching all of the lord of the rings movies.
oh not just all three of the movies.
all three extended versions.
we started at noon, we ended at one o clock in the morning.

i tend to be a movie sleeper. so i closed my eyes for a little bit during the second movie and when i opened my eyes again, jeff was staring at me and the movie was paused.
"ready to start watching it again????"

i really didn't think they were that bad. i'm not a mythical kind of person.
but orlando bloom sure got my attention.

however.
sadly.
having one o'clock being past my bedtime.
i was watching the men fight the orcs and all of a sudden the hobbits were back in the shire.
i missed the ending.
i missed the destroying of the ring.
but all in all.
great memorial day.

decoration

i can't wait to decorate my own space.
this is what i spent my sunday doing
future room.

S, S, D.

winged out.

i'm going to be a make up genius i just decided.
i'm tired of not being able to do all the cute make up things because i'm too scared.
not anymore.
thanks to the beauty department, i am slowly on my way.
i've always coveted the winged liner girls.
and now i'm one of them

wooooooooo
when my mom came home she told me my make up looked cute and then asked where i got it done.
i got done in my room mom.

 we're seniors

 we're friends.

ohhh the places we'll go.

i really want a vespa.
because eventually i'll live in the city.
