I'm trying to make room in my closet. Not necessarily for more things (Lord knows I don't need any more....not that that will stop me ;) ), but just to, ya know, have room. So far I've gone through my shirts and cardigans and hoodies and have removed....5 things. Yes. That number is a little lackluster. I am indeed aware of this fact.
What you see as pathetic however, I see as progess ;)

Looking Back...
I love how many of my old posts are about "G". It's funny how much changes over time. Not that I don't like the kid, but he is sooo frustrating and when I went back I don't see how I didn't notice it earlier! I guess we're blinded by our infatuations with people. How you can be the one pushing for a relationship with a person, and then being the one to end it. We are flawed creatures that much I know, but that's what makes life interesting :)
There's a quote from MadMen that I've always liked that Don said,
"We're flawed because we want so much more. We're ruined because we get these things and wish for what we had."
This is paraphrased, I'm too lazy to look up the exact quotation, but you get the gist. He's a wise man that Mr. Draper ;)
Life moves on. Lesson Learned.
The lyrics don't necessarily pertain, but I love this song, and the title fit in nicely, so let's roll with it, shall we?

My Christmas Wishlist pt. 1
Lace Shorts :
I'm "watching" some on ebay right now....
Striped Things!!:
Blazer:
**both of these photos are courtesy of www.thedaybookblog.com
^^ actually just this entire outfit. She has the striped shirt I want. The blazer I desire. THIS exact blazer I need. NEED. And the light brown skinny jeans that are also on my Christmas Wish List. Closet envy at it's finest...
Shirt:
I also want a black peacoat. And a camel colored Scarf
Dress:
Not only do I want this dress, but also just Peter Pan collared dresses in general. Please :)
Camel Colored Jacket:
I need this jacket as well. Also, any and every chunky infinity scarf needs to find it's way into my closet. Please and thank you.
Sequins:
I feel like I need to have at least one moment of sequins in my wardrobe.... :)
Black Mini:
They have these at Forever 21 for like $6.50! Yay! I can always just get it for myself. So easy to layer with and make winter appropriate! The options are endless!!
Leather leggings:
That's right, you heard me. Leather leggings.
Maroon Skinny Cords/Skinny cords in general:
**courtesy of http://kendieveryday.blogspot.com/
Over the knee socks:
For my boots!
Beauty and the Beast Sweater:
I need to find this sweater!!! No questions asked!!
Scalloped Shorts:
So cute :)
These clock necklaces:
http://www.etsy.com/listing/79328867/pure-copper-antique-brass-glass-ball
SO cool...
And finally (for now)...
this one opens up to a clock...There's another one that is like a lock and opens to read "I open at the close". Either one is badass.
So ladies, what do YOU want?
xoxo Nicky
edit:: Sorry I can't give proper credit for these photos!!! They were all ganked off of Pinterest, but if they are yours PLEASE let me know. Also: I hate you for having the things that I want so desperately ;)

Another Short One
Totes did way worse on my Biometry exam than I thought. Just put it on my tab.
My roommates and I have started a "Selfish Cunt" Tally Board. Basically you get a tally everytime you're selfish. I have the least amount with 6, majority of which are highly questionable ;). Just throwin' that out there.
This looked better in person. Promise ;)
Gotta go read the Importance of Being Earnest now, wish me luck!!

Hola, Mis Amigos!
Long to no see, eh? sorry about that...I don't have a ton of time to update right now (sorry, school is lame and time consuming, currently trying to save the Javan Rhino, no biggie) BUT I come baring gifts! Several small posts! (And you claim I'm not a giver!)
This was my outfit the other day! My key to fall/winter is to layer like a fool. It also helps becuase currently my apartment has no gas, therefore no heat until Tuesday. To say it is a bit frigid in here is an understatement.
I was afraid you guys wouldn't be able to see the shoulder pads, which are obviously my favorite part of this outfit. I feel like such a college kid in it.
Jacket : Thrifted, no label
Shirt: just a plain white one from Lord knows where
Scarf: Thrifted
OuterCoat (second picture?): J Crew, thrifted
xoxo,
Nicky

Week in Review
So my first week of classes back is ALMOST done!!! I only have Stats today from 2:30-3:20. Not too shabby. Here's a rundown of my classes so far:
Stats 2110: My prof seems like a really cool guy, and the class seems really interesting. I'm just ecstatic to be taking a stats class honestly. Hopefully this doesn't bite me in the but.
Phil 1010: Dropping this class. a little too....I dunno, out there for me I guess. I feel constantly hated on in it because I'm a scientist lol
Biol 4090?: Principles of Biometry (basically Stats applied to Biology) LOVE this class so far. Professor is awesome and once again, it's stats. WOOT
Lit 2010: I think I'm really going to like this class. My prof is really nice and the class is really good at discussions. The books we have to read are pretty sweet too. Oh yeah, and I've already read most of them ;)
PopC2200: Intro to Folklore/Folklife. I love my prof. Really funny, very committed to his subject. He said the first couple weeks are slow because he only covers vocab which i was starting to see in class yesterday, but he also said we're going to be looking at ourselves and our heritage a lot which I think is pretty awesome! Pumped!
Biol 4???: Conservation Bio. Taking this class with my friend AND my prof is adorable and SUPER nice. Like, ridiculously nice. He made us come up with our own grading scale.
And THAT'S what my semester looks like so far! Not too shabby, eh?

The End is Near...
** I will work Harry Potter references into any and every post that I can.
So today marked my first day of classes! I had Philosophy 101 and Principles of Biometry. Both of my professors seem extremely nice and laid back so I'm very excited about that.
My biometry class just made me realize how much I would just love to minor in stats though, so I'm really really really gonna work hard at getting as many classes in as I can before I leave. Which means trying to get into that class that I dropped again....
Clothes plan is doing well today! I wore a shirt I used to love but haven't worn in awhile, and realized I still love it! She's a keeper :)

New Beginings
hee hee, long time no see! My fault, I know it!
Anyway, as you can see by my title, this school year is going to be all about new beginings.
Starting with clothes!!!
I have a clothes problem. I can admit that. It's a problem though that is both costly monetarily and to the health of my body and mind. Clothes are piled all over the place in my room to the point that I can't even sleep on my bed anymore. I don't want to sleep on that couch one more night!!! Everytime I just look at the room I feel overwhelmed and get irritable.
So, when getting ready to move into my new apartment, I tried to pack on the lighter side. I seriously think I left about half of my wardrobe at home! (Granted, this still means I brought a lot.) It wasn't even the funky stuff I decided to keep back either! There were some pretty painful cuts. I'm hoping to take a lot out of this though.
I tried to bring some stuff I haven't really worn in awhile. I think the reason I sometimes gravitate to the same things is because I have SO much stuff that I just go with stuff I know I like. There's TOO much of a selection. So this will be their time to shine. If I still don't wear them, or realize I don't really like the way they look or find it's hard to incorporate them into my wardrobe then away they must go.
I think the best way to incorporate some of my funkier pieces is to pair them with really cute solid staples to balance out the look. So I want to try to experiment with this a bit as well.
I also want to really work on organization. I actually am pretty organized but I think I need to focus more on maintaining it. I let things get kind of chaotic then decide it's time to crack down and organize the hell out stuff.
I also want to work on following through with the ideas and projects I have in my head. I think if I actually do them and complete them it'll free up some space to come up with even more projects! I have so many I want to do right now I feel likes they're all backed up. Maybe focus on one project a week?
Continue reading!!! I got The Help, and the first Hunger Games book from my lovely coworkers at Dawson, not to mention all the books I already want to read, so I want to really try to keep that up. I WILL reach my 35 books benchmark this year!!
I know there's more, I'll keep updating this as I think of them. It'll be interesting when the school year is over to see how much of this I actually went through on.
xoxo

Packing my life into boxes. It's an odd feeling being done with this school year...I don't really want this whole college thing to end. I'm not ready to be an adult yet!

But My Good Friends is All I Need
I feel like such a college kid sitting here in the library with my laptop studying Genetics for my final tomorrow.
I even have my binder and highlighter out, this shit is about to get serious.
It's baffling to me that the semester is over come Friday...I can't even handle! In just 5 days I will be a senior in college. Then I have to be an adult :(
In other news...Osama Bin Laden is dead. Crazyyy shit! Me and the roomie were sitting in our living room, chowing on some AMAZING Myle's pizza (chicken with pesto and artichokes. YUMMO) watching a pretty intense celebrity apprentice when NBC scrolls at the bottom of the screen that Obama is going to be addressing the nation shortly.
Our initial impression was that it was going to be bad news. (Roomie was pretty pissed that it cut into Apprentice and he couldn't see who got sent home lol. He's so precious.)
You Brits can have your Royal Wedding, we got Osama Bin Laden's body. ;)
but I did enjoy the Royal Wedding.
xoxo
Wish me luck on my O.Chem and Genetics finals tomorrow....

Your Confusions got me so confused
Weekend with A was actually very successful! Here is a rundown of our Tolkien approved, Ke$ha insprired weekend :
Friday :
A arrives after a ridiculous wind storm. Too intense for words. I thought I was going to blow away. I show her the apartment and fill her in on my confusions with the whole G situation and we catch up until we have dinner with W and I at Red Lobster! I got shrimp linguini alfredo. It was DELISH! and those biscuits. Gurll I could eat 'em by the bushel. Someone the subject of "Things that make Nicky gag" came up over dinner, and I proceeded to, but that's alright. Cheddar biscuits make everything better. I also got the opportunity to take an awesome Lost picture. It was beyond epic.
That night we went back to my apartment and started playing with Microsoft Anna and leaving people voicemails. Hilarious. some of our best?
"Sometimes when I'm alone I touch myself and pretend it casper the friendly ghost molesting me."
"I love the feel of nice cool saxphone between my firy loins in the morning sunlight. It drives me to the point of physical exhaustion. oh. yeah. yeah. so cold. i'm cumming"
"I will never forget the night i woke up and you were molesting me. Never before have i so enjoyed being forcefully penetrated by another man."
all in all, a success :)
Saturday :
Went to Happy Badger because it's an awesome little store and I knew A would enjoy it. Talked to the lady there and she was so funny. Talking about how she framed a card she owns in her shop of some tree people as a gift to the trees in her front yard. Such a little hippie. Also found out they did Tarot readings so we scheduled readings for Sunday.
Then I took her to KA Kart to meet the boys without really meeting them. She got introduced by there wasn't enough time for people to really communicate and hate each other. Perfect!
Then we went to this antique mall in Maumee that I had wanted to go to. It was HUGE and had lots of entertaining things. One of them being a vintage embalming machine. Nasty. lol and some really creepy looking dolls. Had lunch at Cracker Barrel (a.k.a. Chicken Boquet) and it was both delicious, an insanely large amount of food, and dirt cheap. Possibly my new favorite restaurant. So good!!! We also had Logan as a server. He was tall. And cute. Bonus!
Then we went to Target, and walked out with nothing! That deserves a prize.
After that we went to WalMart to pick up materials for dying eggs! I also scored an ah - mazing bra. Forril, I'm in love. Then we rented the Godfather - turned out to be a really good movie! Who knew!
We decided we wanted to have Ke$ha inspired eggs, so we found an awesome kit that totally made our dreams come true.
Sunday:
Went to go get our tarot cards read, found out it costs 20 bucks for 15 minutes!! we decided to escape through the cafe entrance instead. it was awesome.
Then we went on a little nature walk with the roomie :). We discussed childhood memories, and it brought about many scaring youtube videos later. Most notably: the letter people, Mr. N. Look it up if you dare.
So then finally the night when we go to see G's band. First we have lunch with AfC, R and finally meet D. We have a good time and everyone seems to hit it off. Then we go to downtown to have a beer before going to the venue. G's band plays and they were really impressive! They sounded really good and I like their music a lot. AND I got to talk to him. Seemed highly successful. AND HE'S NOT SHORTER THAN ME. i think i wept tears of joy. we are seriously like almost the exact same height, A said he's like a centimeter or so taller. Huzzah!!
HOWEVER. Everytime i start talking to G for awhile, AfC pulls me away and tells me he doesn't think it's a good idea, and he believe that G would cheat which I honestly would never ever imagine. uggh. Granted I don't know where AfC's agenda is. Even though he has a girlfriend i know he likes me...so maybe that has something to do with it?
I HATE THIS GAME.
either way, G is coming up may 6th again. we'll see what happens.

whyyyy do i care so much? and now i keep going over everything that happened at the show and thinking maybe something changed? but if i'm realistic with myself i don't believe it...humph.
should it have to be this much work? this may 6th is going to be a make or break it point i feel. got a lot riding on it. fuck.

I hate
how one thing can make me totally second guess myself and be self conscious about this whole G situationnnn.
He accepted a friend request and or requested the friendship of some chick named Jess and I automatically hate this bitch lol.
After some quick facebook stalking though this is what I've been able to uncover :
I have lots of guy friends and there's nothing to them. And her taste in music is questionable to alright.
I'm actually glad for A to be coming up now to distract me from overthinking this shit way too much.
EDIT: and now he changed his profile picture. what if it's for herrrr :(
EDIT EDIT: this bitch is nothing. heh heh. just overly thinking things! :)

- she's a freshman at Firelands (soo younger, but has home court advantage. skank.)
- she has sea of bears (G's band) listed in her music she listens to but of the members of the band she's only friends with G, meaning this must be how she found out about them. bitch.
- she is going to the concert on sunday, however I think this is where I may have the advantage since I will be sitting with all of G's besties. what now, whore.

GAHHHHH! Continued...
I repeat: Why is G so cuteeeeeee.
I was lying in bed last night, minding my own business when I got one of my texts from Facebook about a notification. So I check it says "G___ B___ has written on your status". Flailing commences.
My status had been pertaining to a certain song I had just discovered and fell in love with (Electric Six - Synthesizer) and of course, since we are personality twins, he not only knew about the song, but he's seen the band 17 times!! Crazyyy.
So I responded to his comment saying that I was impressed that he knew it and he FB chatted me right away saying that he had that as his status not too long ago! and he said it was badass that I knew them and that next time they're in cleveland we have to go see them! Then he asked if I liked going to shows and asked what i'd been to.
Of course I first admitted to The Killers, to which he responded that he met The Killers before they released hot fuss and that the drummer is awesome!!! I could have just died of jealousy.
Then I said I saw Brand New which he said he was jealous of. Then I said I had some pretty embarassing ones when I was little...and I admitted that my first concert was Hanson.
So then he said I could have a free pass, since I was little. I said I'd need another...but I wouldn't relinquish what for (ahem ahem GC ahem ahem) (even though that one isn't as bad) (I will come to you is still a good jam as well). ANYWAY I told him i couldn't keep divulging my deepest darkest secrets so he said he couldn't come up with anything as bad since he didn't start going to shows until high school, but that when he was little his favorite band was the spice girls. hahahaha.
to which i replied that i had teh barbie dolls. to which he responded " I refuse to let this slide into a debate on who's the bigger spice girls fan." and then he went on to add that he owned spice world on vhs somewhere. hahaha.
then he started talking about his band after i asked him about it and was telling me about what some of their songs were about. There's a love story told from the perspective of jack the ripper, a song about over fishing and wasting resources, materialism and vanity, cleveland/cleveland sports lol. random, but fantastic.
overall highly entertaining ugh. why must you live far away. oh well, more motivation for a car this summer

30 Things
1. I have a completely unfounded obsession with the Kennedy's. I really don't know why, but if there is a history special on them or anything pertaining to them on, I'm in for the night ;). Maybe 'cause I have an odd obsession with all things tragic.
2. Whenever people make fun of Lost or say they hated the finale a little piece of me dies. It came on at a very emotional time in my life and the themes that it is about honestly helped me through a lot. Turns out Lost is excellent therapy. Haters to the left.
3. The Killers are my favoritest band and I get really excited when other people listen to them too, and bummed when all they really know is Mr. Brightside. Not that I don't love that song, but they have soo many others that speak to me more lyrically. Mr. Brightside will forever and always remind me of Summer '05.
4. In sixth or seventh grade I watched the Fellowship of the Ring every. single. day. Literally. I woke up, started it, got ready for school, came home from school and finished it. Now I only watch it like..once a year, but it still holds a soft spot in my heart.
5. I think people think I'm much smarter than I actually am.
6. My sister and brother are two of my best friends :) I realize now that that's not always the case. I enjoy hanging out with them and going to concerts and movies with them. They both make me laugh till I cry and handle standing in my shadow reasonably well ;) Not everyone can be the favorite!
7. I know Harry Potter pretty much better than anything else in my life. Don't judge! I've read the books more times than I count and everytime I love it more and more. It kills me a little knowing I never got my letter :(
8. I've known my best friend since I was 2! I can't remember a time of my life without her in it and I hope it stays that way :) We have some pretty awesome stories and adventures and although I can talk a lot of shit she has helped me through a lot and done a lot for me for which I will always be appreciative.
9. I think only the people in my family understand the true significance of the phrase "Turtle Power" but I still smile everytime I get a text from one of them that says it <3
10. I love my family. I feel like it took going to college to truly appreciate them. Even though we have some ridiculous traditions that we were embarassed to carry on for as long as we did (I'm pretty sure once they started recruiting us to dress as Santa we should have ended it ;) ), I always look back on them and laugh and realize I'm extremely fortunate to have them. After talking to a lot of people about what their familes do for the holidays I never realized how badass we were and how many memories we have together!
11. I have always called Santa "Ho Ho." Apparently this also is not common. It's just what he was always referred to in our house.
12. I'm a dog person. I like cats, but they don't like me back. When I'm around them my body pretty much starts shutting down. Why would you want a pet that doesn't always want your love and affection? One of my favorite parts of going home is walking in the door and seeing how excited Fred is to see me! I love my pup :)
13. I don't know why I didn't declare biology as my major straight off the bat. We were clearly meant to be.
14. I've only left Ohio twice :( Once sophomore year of high school to go to Disney with band, and then last year to go to Chicago. I wouldn't mind spending an extended amount of time in Chicago, I've thought about applying to grad schools there.
15. I'm terrified to graduate college.
16. At least one member of my family has owned a trailer in Marble Head Since before until my senior year in high school when we sold ours. I miss it :(( Some of my best childhood memories are on the lake.
17. I feel my eyes are overly moist. I cry when I laugh a LOT and really just a gentle breeze makes 'em tear up lol.
18. I get called Pam so often that I have responded to it a couple times in a class then felt really awkward afterwards.
19. I fear I may be a hoarder. I have at least 10 memorie boxes stashed under my bed at home that I can't part with. I guess I'm sentimental.
20. I am very trusting. I'll trust you before I know you but if you fuck me over you'll pretty much never get it back. Sorry.
21. I know I'm a pushover, and I'm okay with that.
22. Damn it this is long. ummm..There are several philosophies I believe in. Everything happens for a reason. Good things happen to good people. Nothing is irreversible.
23. My biggest turn off is pessism. I can not handle debbie downers.
24. I love the 1920s -1970. It's my favorite period to learn about in history. Roaring twenties seemed badass, and as much as the depression sucked it's interesting. If you don't love learning about WWII there is probably something wrong with you. 50's are my favorite decade, and then the JFK/Civil Rights stuff of the 60's I love to learn about. I blame my love of history on my sophomore history teacher. He was awesome. Not to mention all the stories Amber has taught me and the trivia my Dad spews out all the time :) Oh yeah, I also love the Romanovs.
25. I love music! All genres. I don't think I would be able to walk to class without my jams. If the right song comes on I like to picture myself walking in a movie during one of those montagy scenes where the character is just lost in thought or something. I find this perfectly normal.
26. I never write lowercase r's. They always, always, always have to be capital, even if it's in the middle of a word.
27. The only details of my wedding that I know are 3 songs that I want played at some point during the reception.
28. I've had a stuffed animal pig since the day I was born named Piggy (original, I know). It's all his fault that pigs are my favorite animal.
29. Middle school was the worse period of my life, until 2010 came along. If I could ever erase an entire year from my life it would be that one.
30. I'm am terrified of fire! and ice. polar opposites but equally frightening.
these may be edited. or moved to facebook. i dunno.

Gah!
Why is G so cute! Hung out with him Friday with CA and the singer in his band AL (Why must everyone's name start with an A?!!) and we had a good time. He is definetely shorter than I am, but the biggest issue is the PC thing. If only I had a car....
either way, I'm excited for his concert Sunday...If only A weren't coming up this weekend ;).
LOST shirt came in, it's a little too big :( but I think I can still rock it.
Also, it's beautfiulllll today. GORGEOUS!!! It makes me really happy.
Oh, and my ass still hurts from the beating it took on that Genetics test. Just sayin'.
Hung out with C the other day and he bought me Starbucks. I was telling him about G and he was getting jealous, it was kind of cute. Oh C. Still trying to figure out how to get out of A meeting him this weekend...

It worries me...
...how little I care about this genetics test that I have at 11:30 today.
Like forril. Need to really step up my game for the final.
UPDATE as of April 7th at 3:37 p.m. : My ass still hurts from that beating it took on that test.
Also, I really hope the LOST shirt I ordered online comes in today. I am in LOVE with it. Bonus? It was only 9.99. IF that isn't a steal than I don't know what is!!

The Flaw.
I'm begining to think that THE flaw is MY flaw.
What is THE flaw you ask?
Why, it's simple. It's the thing I use about other people as an excuse as to why things wouldn't work out between us in a relationship. Confused? Let me give you an example:
C: Lives in another state, too immature, in a relationship, likes to create awkward situations etc.
K: too clingy, lives in another state, always always always has to be right, hairy as a bear
D : too serious, smokes, doesn't like harry potter
B: Man whore
A: always thinks he's right, likes to use his knowledge as superiority, very critical of others
Let the record show: I LOVE all the above mentioned. Except B.
Anyway
Get the picture?
I know, I know, it's awful! I don't mean it in a judgemental way. I love that C is immature, and the fact that he makes situations awkward is just what he does, and in most cases it can be entertaining. These just so happen to be reasons I feel like it wouldn't work long term. make sense?
Good. Moving on,
New boy, G. I'm looking for the flaw AND I CAN'T FIND IT. yet. While normally, this should be exciting, instead I find myself looking harder for it. The only things I can come up with is he's shorter ( I know, I'm really pushing it) and he lives an hour or so away.
That's it! and those barely even register on the scale of flaw. Perhaps a combined reading of .000001 out of 10. And it's only that high because the distance thing could be difficult due to my failure as a human being existence (meaning no car).
Maybe once we hang ot more I'll find it. He's coming up this weekend, and then next weekend is his concert that I'm going to. Maybe the flaw will rear it's ugly head. Maybe.
Oi vey. There seriously may just be something wrong with me.
On a good note though: I am both not dead and not deaf. phew. I was nervous last night.
Speaking of last night, I went out with roomie A and our friends KK and I to a pizza place in town. It was both delicious and a hilariously fun night! Then they started talking about a "shock video" they remembered from their middle school days called two girls one cup. They had me watch it. I all at once wanted to gauge out my own eyes, and puke. I seriously watched maybe 1 second of it. Couldn't even handle.
basically, if you are ever presented with a video entitle twogirlsonecup and are asked to watch, punch the person in the tooth and run for the sake of your precious, innocent eyes in the opposite direction.

aw! G just sent me a cute message on facebook! damn it!!
update: 4/7/2010 at 9:04 a.m. I may have found some flaw contenders, but we'll see what becomes of them.

WARNING: GRAPHIC CONTENT ENSUES
So...this may be a farewell post.
I was cleaning my ears with a q-tip, trying to keep up on my hygiene, ya know, when by accident I may or may not have pushed it a little too far and for about a milisecond i felt a jolt of pain, then noticed blood on my q-tip.
BLEEDING EARS ARE A SURE SIGN OF DEATH.
So, just you know, I love you all. Gross pictures to prove it (I'll keep this one small because it's nasty):
If you don't hear from me in...say a week. Alert the 5-0. I don't want my corpse to rot too long before the photogs come.
xoxo
update as of 1:26 a.m. April 5th : still alive

Failure is in the eye of the beholder.
So the ONE day that I totally kick ass on my personal finance homework is the time that he chooses to postpone the deadline. Oi vey. Oh well, at least it's done and over with, huzzah!!
Also, lab practical had some hiccups but overall didn't go as poorly as I suspected. Yay!!
But on to the er, more important news. Something that I had been thinking about for awhile now and finally today had the courage to set the plan in motion.
I talked to my advisor today about at least taking next semester off from school. I need to make money, and get recharged. I find myself not caring enough to get my shit done and dreading going to all my classes. I just feel like this isn't how I should feel a year before I graduate.
We'll see where the road takes it. I do definetely plan on going back, but the timeline isn't set in stone yet. I'm still enrolled in all my classes for next semester and I have until the the first couple of weeks of classes to withdraw completely from them....but the more I think about it, the more I know this is what I need to do. :(
xoxo
p.s. April Fool's Day!!!!! ;P
y'all know I love school more than pretty much anything! I'm actually incredibly excited about next semester and I'm trying to make even more classes fit into my schedule! My time here is dwindling down :(

I'm Breezy
TWO cookies to whoever can tell me what the title to this post is a reference to. It's a trickier one, but still feasible.
So, basically I've been uber (I wish I knew how to make umlats? above U's. Those are so cool.) swamped with work lately (and indescribably lazy) I haven't posted much. Lo siento mi amors! I think I'm going to have a rather large update tomorrow. yay! I actually have a couple posts planned.
Snow white is on tv right now! I haven't seen this movie in ages! crazy.
Anyway, I have to keep this breezy because : (Choose the BEST answer) (I always hate these questions on tests. If there is more than one right answer than how can you say it's wrong because it's not the BEST?!)
a. I'm cooking dinner
b. I'm working on personal finance homework
c. I'm watching Snow White
d. I'm lazy

So, basically I've been uber (I wish I knew how to make umlats? above U's. Those are so cool.) swamped with work lately (and indescribably lazy) I haven't posted much. Lo siento mi amors! I think I'm going to have a rather large update tomorrow. yay! I actually have a couple posts planned.
Snow white is on tv right now! I haven't seen this movie in ages! crazy.
Anyway, I have to keep this breezy because : (Choose the BEST answer) (I always hate these questions on tests. If there is more than one right answer than how can you say it's wrong because it's not the BEST?!)
a. I'm cooking dinner
b. I'm working on personal finance homework

d. I'm lazy

Adventureland
So, after the crazyness that was my last post I can now share my fun adventure with my bbf (boy best friend), C! We started off planning to go to church and noon. I knew this would be an issue, cause boy loves himself some sleep. So 10:30 rolls around and I text him to remind him, church! At 11:08 I get this : "Poop! Ok! Noon right? Look up st. alususisisis something like that church" (St. Aloysius - we wanted to try out a new fancier church than our other one). Needless to say it just doesn't work out and by the time we get there we feel awkward about going in late. BUT the church looks beautiful! So we're going to try to go today for bonus points with Jesus. It took awhile to get there so I took some pictures of the trip there, and the walk back to campus:
Old Water Tower:
The Church!
Barber Shop:
So instead we decided to go to Starbucks and C bought me tea and a birthday cake pop. Looked adorable, but didn't taste nearly as good :( and we talked and got to catch up. C was talking about how he was going to be a coffee drinker, and how that was goign to start being his thing becuase it looks professional. Needless to say, I don't see this in his future. Coffee doesn't...er...agree with his system. he was very vocal about this.
So we checked out the book store and the art gallery in the union and were heading back (his tum tum hurt) when we chanced upon a gold man. It was a beautiful Sunday afternoon, and the larpers (people who dress up in medieval looking gear and battle with foam swords and shields and whatnot) had taken to university lawn. Score! So we watched them for much longer thanwe imagined (bow and arrow girl was a riot) when we chanced upon ANOTHER adventure. There was crime scene tape blocking off a portion of University hall. Naturally, we had to go investigate. After all of our expertise predicting of what happend (crimes of passion, suicide...) we found out later and a portion of the building had fallen off so they taped it off. Scandalous, I know.
So after all that fun stuff we were heading back forril when we noticed the education memorial museum was open!!! It's a little one room schoolhouse from the 20s/30s that's on campus that has all the old desks and artifacts and schoolbooks on display. It was actually really cool! And they had an old machine thing that makes pictures look 3-d. It was awesome!!
All in all, for a day that was supposed to be about going to church, it turned out to be quite the adventure.
xoxo
hanh! <--this is the noise C likes to make. A lot. It's from a song...but I can't remember which one.
Also, to get it out of the way: This is a really old outfit that I never posted (caught a case of the lazy.) I actually really liked this one.
Blue Tank Top: Gifted by friend
Black Lace Top: Thrifted
Brown Cords: Kohls
Necklace: Marc's
ALSO: The Pretty Little Liars finale was on last night, and there was not nearly enough Aria/Ezra!!

Groove Yo' Body
Katy Perry songs are my guilty pleasure...I can't help it (and I don't want to, fool!)! My newest obsessions : E.T. and Last Friday Night. I don't know why, give them a chance and see for yourself!
As an update to my previous post, the corned beef ended up turning out pretty well! But there was definetely room for improvement. It wasn't nearly as swoon worthy as the ones that my folks make. But the cabbage turned out really well, and my potatoes (even though they took fo'evaaaaaaaa) were ridonk delicious. Yes, I just said redonk, what'cha gonna do about it?!
So after that my friend from school who's been in classes with me for the past couple years now invited me to go out for Patty's day. He's a really cool, chill guy we get along great, but then he always has to say something to make things awkward because he wants my goods. Anyway, he's asked me to go out with him a couple times and I always turn him down or say I'm busy or whatever, but this time he said he had some friends coming in from out of town that he wanted me to meet and that he thought I would like. I really didn't feel like going out, but I figured it would be a good way to get a hang out with him in, without the possiblity of it turning out too awkward since there would be a group of us. I will call this friend A.
So he picks me up and I meet his friend R in the car. He was pretty cool, but will get much more interesting later. Tall, skinny kid majoring in criminal justice, really good at telling stories. Gets really animated, and has photos to go along with everything on his phone and whatnot. Super nice as well.
We drive to A's apartment to switch cars and there I meet A and G. A was also super nice, and is going into teaching English so I talked to her a lot about books and whatnot. G is also in criminal justice, and he is basically my twin. I met myself in guy form, it was ridiculous. We have a good time then go back to A's apartment and start watching Muppet Treasure Island (becuase G was going into nastalgia overload) then once A's roommate came back and insisted we change the movie we started watching Labrynth, feel asleep and all seemed well.
WRONG!
I wake up before anyone and I'm just kind of chillin' in my chair cuddling into my blanket for warmth (it was coooooooold in that apartment) when I hear R shuffle. I see him stagger ( and I mean STAGGER) into the bathroom and then hear some projectile, excorcist style vomitting noises coming from the area and hear things crashing to the ground. R comes out and I ask him if he's alright but he ignores me and stag-gers to the kitchen where he then proceeds to fall backwards into a cabinet containing all the liquor, cookbooks, and pots and pans etc...then rebounds into the dining room table, knocks the leaf of the table down and everything on the table comes crashing down. All the while R is shaking rather violently.
One of the scariest moments of my life. Turns out he's diabetic but was able to calm himself down and once he checked his sugar levels he said he was fine he was just really drunk. (even though he was FINE the night before...)
and THAT was my Patty's day. Had the morning after never occured it would have been fantastic! Ah well, can't win 'em all.

St. Patty's Day
So today is St. Patty's Day, and in honor of which, I was hoping to impress my roomie with an awesome corned beef and cabbage dinner with potatoes - one of my favorite dinners!!
I busted out my crock pot (which may just be one of my favorite bday presents ever!!!) and started assembling it all around 9:30 this morning. Then the first problem arose....how much water do I add?! I text my dad...no response, so I go to that lovely thing we call the internet. Every site said so the meat is completely covered. So I went along and did as I was told. Then problem 2. WHEN SHOULD I ADD THE CABBAGE?! I always knew my family to just put it in at the begining...but this website said to put it in later so it doesn't get too soggy. So I wait, and get a response from my dad saying it's alright if the cabbage isn't covered.
Then, I go off to class, impressed with myself and pumped for my awesome dinner to come. After Genetics (which was particularly intersting today) I went to the rec ( I WILL LOSE THIS WEIGHT, ya hear?) and ran a mile. I don't know if it's because I've been add an incline ( a whopping 2 on the treadmill) but I have been struggling with it a lot more than I thought. I know it'd been about 3-4 weeks since my last good run..maybe 2-3 weeks, I can't remember...anyway it's been a battle, but I'm pushing through! (holler!)
I come home, and the first alarm goes off. I am not met with the awesome overwhelming apartment filling smell of corned beef. I look in my crock and my corned beef is grey!!!!!!!! Now I know that can't be normal. The little bugger still has about an hour left but I'm nervous. I'll post pictures of the result.
Outfit post to come!!!
update: alright, it's grey on the outside, pink on the inside, but hard as a brick. Corned beef you will be the death of me!!!! But, on a good note, the cabbage looks delicious!!! yumm-o!

Blast.
I thought I had DVDFAB on my computer. Turns out it was just the icon, and I don't have the program.
But I already bought 20 bucks worth of blank DVDs. :(
I guess I'll just return them.
That's what I get for not inspecting further....

35 Books n 2011
So I realized it's been awhile since I updated on the list of books I've read so far. I'm falling behind :( I foresaw this happening during the schoolyear, and I know I'll make up for any lost time during the summer, so I'm not too concerned right now. I'm going to start giving them a rating, the best being 5 stars, here we go!
Also, I do realize I gave HP 6 stars, but c'mon, it's Harry Potter. It felt wrong giving HP and Perks the same ranking (sorry Perks! I loved you, I really did!)
Any reccomendations?
xoxo
- Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (******) J.K. Rowling
- I remember first reading this book, and loving it but being SO angry at Harry for SPOILER ALERT: Sirius dying. The more I read it though, the more and more I fall in love with it. It has one of my FAVORITE chapters of all time (the one after Sirius dies where Harry and Dumbledore have their chat. So. Awesome.) I LOVE this book.
- Harry Potter and the Half- Blood Prince (******) J.K. Rowling
- This one was altogether lighter and darker than a lot of the other books (yes, that makes perfect sense) and I loove it!! There were lots of great scenes between characters that really loved and the memories added an interesting background into Voldemort which I feel was incredibly important. SOO good!!
- Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (******) J.K. Rowling
- What can I say, besides perfection. It's heartwrenchingly beautiful.
- The Perks of Being a Wallflower (****) Stephen Chobsky
- Very honest and simple look into the life of a wallflower named Charlie and his journey into finding friends and dealing with girlfriends, crushes, death and everything else that comes with life. Was a little concerned by the Mtv Books label, but it's totally worth a read, instantly became a favorite!
- The Tales of Beedle the Bard (*****) J.K. Rowling
- Quick, easy read but entertainng, stories none the less. I really enjoyed it and the sores themes and moral are not just relevant to the young witch/warlock! If you're a fan of Harry Potter it's a must read!
- East of Eden (*****) John Steinbeck
- The story follows two twin brothers, focusing more on Adam and the lives they lead. It is a loose parallel to the story of Cain and Abel, but not in the way that you're thinking. I couldn't put this book down, it was soooooooooooo gooooooooood. It looks big but it goes fast and the story and characters are so real and entralling you get lost in them. LOVE.
Also, I do realize I gave HP 6 stars, but c'mon, it's Harry Potter. It felt wrong giving HP and Perks the same ranking (sorry Perks! I loved you, I really did!)

This is it...
I don't think I'll make it through the night.....
If I should perish before I wake...I leave all my earthly possessions to Fred.
Not to brag or anything but I am just one of those people who don't get sick. So when the rare occassion rolls around, I can fully admit I act like a total baby. It takes a lot to bring this steed down, and I feel like I'm down for the knock out.
Wish me luck in fighting this demon. Also, Modcloth is having a 70% of sale, for those of you who do have some spending money I'd hurry over! There are some fantastic steals :)

'Cause Two Can Keep a Secret
...if one of them is dead.
So there was a Pretty Little Liars marathon on yesterday, and thanks to the weather being so drab and my tv being on ABC Family because of Titanic I was able to catch the tail end of it and I'mashamed surprised to admit that I'm hooked.
Thecreepier interesting part, my favorite storyline is the Aria/ Ezra one. I LOVE them together. For those who don't want (meaning the majority of you, I'm sure) Aria is in high school and Ezra is her english teacher. When you watch it though it's not as creepy. He just graduated college and they met before the school year and before they knew that they would soon be teacher and pupil. Anway, if you have time I would recomend it if you can get past the teenagery (Yes, that's a word.) of it all. Also, the acting is ridiculously superbly better than the acting in Secret Life of the American Teenager. (In my opinion at least).
In addition, it is cold out, and this week's Glee episode was ridiculous. Moreso in a good way though. It still bums me out how much I LOVED the first part of season 1, then it kind of went downhill for me with the exception of a couple highlight episodes.
Anyway, this is my outfit for today, pretty simple and straighforward. Excuse my hair, it's a hot mess :
Blazer: Thrifted, Forever 21
Shirt: Thrifted
Jeans: Thrifted, Paris Blues
My goal for March is to be able to capture full length pictures. Wish me luck!

For Those in Peril On the Sea...Pt. 1
So, those who know me know of my ridiculous, obsessive love for the movie Titanic. After watching it on ABC Family 2 times this weeknd (and I don't regret a second of it!) I thought I would do my first "Tribute To..." piece on my blog. Basically this feature if for things that I have an undying love for and/or were a major part of my life at some point (Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, Friends...) So to begin! aham
A Tribute to Titanic :
A Tribute to Titanic :
They Say That Things Just Cannot Grow...
...beneath this winter snow.
So, wonder of wonders, it's snowing again! Let this not be mistaken, I am not happy about this. It was soo beautiful this past week, and this is just a harsh reminder of what Mr. Groundhog fortold....winter is in fact, not over. Thanks again for that Phil. Ah well, such is life when you live in Ohio I suppose! My only problem is that it's not so much snowing as one huge solid sheet of ice covering the entire city. I can't tell you how many I saw fall walking to class, nor how many times I slipped on the ice myself. Luckily I'm as graceful as a ballerina and was able to catch myself.
This was actually my outfit on Valentine's Day. That's how on top of things I am.
blazer: Thrifted, Isaac Mizrahi
Top: Thrifted
Jeans: Thrifted, Paris Blues
Hair: Left over wavy hair, but originally slept with hair in braid, went over with 3 barrel waver the next morning. One of my favorite ways to do my hair :)
I know the quality of the pictures is questionable, but I was working with very little light. This has been my view up until a couple days ago when it melted away :
Hope you all stay warm and cozy :)

On the Issue of Weight
But first, a recap of my weekend!
Friday:
After the aforementioned hydrochloric acid incident in my organic chemistry lab, I got home preparing to go to the gym later on. Part of my preparations were to take a nap (obviously), and in the middle of it I got a text from gbf2 asking if I wanted to go to a concert of gbf1. So, I opted out of going and went to the concert which was...interesting...lots of "new music" which I can't say I'm a huge fan of. Afterwards we went to Dairy Queen, and the Dairy Queen in my town is by far superior to any other DQ in the states. I would bet money on it. After ingesting a butterfinger blizzard (yumm-o!) we went over to gbf1's apartment and watched some I Love Lucy!
Then I went home and talked to my sister. Fascinating.
Saturday:
Not a whole lot happened. Was on my way to the rec AND about to open it's doors when gbf1 called and asked if I wanted to go bowling or to the hockey game. Neither happened, and we ended up watching Titanic, playing Jenga and ordering cookies. It was fantastic. And we came up with many new uses for jenga pieces.
Sunday:
Went to the rec and had an AWESOME work out. Felt confident and amazing. Then I made the terribly tragic idea of going to weigh myself. Obviously by my statement of it being "terribly tragic" you get the idea that that did not go over so well.
So now I sit here, writing this, while watching Titanic (Yes, that's right, twice in one weekend. Don't judge) and asking myself...why does it matter the number so much.
I felt amazing and confident before I stepped on the scale. I thought I'd noticed a change for the better in the days prior yet as soon as I saw the number I felt sad and depressed the rest of the day. And all I could notice was the chub.
Basically, I'm not going to let the stop me from continuing my working out or being happy with the way I look, but rather use it for motivation to kick my butt into gear. I wonder if boys care this much about weight. Any way you spin it though, I can't let a number dictate how I'm going to feel about myself, or my mood in general.

I felt amazing and confident before I stepped on the scale. I thought I'd noticed a change for the better in the days prior yet as soon as I saw the number I felt sad and depressed the rest of the day. And all I could notice was the chub.
Basically, I'm not going to let the stop me from continuing my working out or being happy with the way I look, but rather use it for motivation to kick my butt into gear. I wonder if boys care this much about weight. Any way you spin it though, I can't let a number dictate how I'm going to feel about myself, or my mood in general.

Pieta by Michaelangelo
So, as the title says, this is Pieta by Michaelangelo (there should be a fancy accent above the a) and it is without question one of my favorite pieces we've studied so far in my art history class. I don't think you have to be religious in order to understand it's beauty, however speaking from someone who is Catholic, I may be bias, who knows!
The first amazing thing is that this was created around 1510. 1510! I'm not trying to single out Michaelangelo though; it's amazing to see any work of art created and when it was. (Leonardo, Raphael...you know, all the turtles ;) ).
Obviously this is a scene of Mary lamenting the death of Christ. Maybe that's why I like it so much. Everytime you hear about it in church, or in general, you just get told the story. Jesus died on the cross, he was buried, and finally ressurected. I guess you never really stop and think what it must have been like to be Mary, and watch your son die. Just the image of Mary having her dead son draped over her lap is terribly tragic to me, and I do have a lot for all things tragic (hello Titanic! - in the words of Joey Tribbiani "Those two only had each other!").
Michaelangelo depicted Mary to be much younger than she would actually be to symbolize her purity and innocence. It might be hard to see from this angle but her arm is a little awkward because the statue was attacked by a man shouting "I am Jesus Christ!" and they had to put it back in place (I believe it fell off...though I'm not sure).
It's one of Michaelangelo's few completed pieces. Boy liked to start something and then never finish it, not that I'm one to talk..heh..heh...moving on! The draping is very heavy and realistic and reminiscint of Roman structureswhich made a comeback during the Renaissance. Michaelangelo believed that all of his sculptures were already in the marble (or whatever he was working with) and he was releasing them from a prison. I just find it all terribly impressive.
Mary's lap is a little exaggerated in size in order to fully hold Christ, and I love how it's such a peaceful, calm moment between the two of them. Almost as though you're intruding on a very private moment.
Michaelangelo started creating another pieta that he wanted for his own tomb however he was unhappy with it, for reasons unknown (two cookies for those who got that Killers reference), and attacked it with an axe.
You can especially see it in Mary that it was never finished, and if you look closely you can see axe marks. From other angles it becomes more obvious that Christ is missing a leg also (perhaps this is why he didn't like it?) and it is believed it was left out because it would be inappropriately close to Mary's leg. Anyway, this image was obviously a favorite of Michaelangelo for him to want it for his own tomb, and I think it's gorgeous, so I thought I'd share :)
Hope you enjoy these posts, they're good for me to study from as well!

Ooooooooo
O. Chem may just be the death of me. For no other reason than I DESPISE the lab. For some unknown reason I just dread going to it! Even though I'm not all that awful at it. oh well, only a couple more months!!!
My friend is dj-ing the bg radio station right now! it's kind of exciting! Also, this season of American Idol is really pulling me in...I'm going to blame Stephen Tyler. Also, the Threat Level Midnight episode of The Office may just be the greatest thing they have ever done, and that's saying something!
xoxo
it's starting to get warmer!!!! yay!!!!
Edit: I came, I saw, I conquered that O. Chem lab.
Kind of. There may have been a hydrochloric acid incident.

I Am Not a Seed of Failure
Sorry for lack of outfit posts. I promise, once it starts getting more practical to look cute when you don't have to trudge through snow and fear slipping on ice in the tundra that is my outdoors, I'll be bringin' all the goods. Just you wait and see.
So, what y'all up to?
p.s. a free cookie to those who know what song the title of this post is a lyric to.

Better Late than Never?
So here they are, some of my January favorites! These are some of the things that have helped me get through the rather cold and dreary month.
January - I love you, but I'm glad I won't see you again until another 11 months. It was realfun painful when you dumped all that snow on us...(and that means you too Februrary!). This was also the month that my new semester started, yay! My classes aren't totally out of control like last semester! January was also the month however that my roommate had the Kitchenaid contest and therefore was making lava cakes by the dozens to perfect his recipe. Turns out, eating 5-6 lava cakes and more than my fair share of creamed nut horns ( my first baking experience in my apartment!) does not result in weight loss- who knew! I really need to kick it into gear this month as far as workouts go!
Anyway, that being the case, most of these things revolve around keeping one entertained when they are trapped in their apartment rather than beauty related products in any way.
First up:
This tea is fantastic and perfect for a cold, snowy day!
I LOVE this book. It is fantastic! I find myself more and more frustrated with having schoolwork to distract me from reading it! If you like Steinbeck, you should definetely, definetely read it. If you've never read him, this would be a wonderway way to dive in! (I'd also recommend Of Mice and Men).
Getting a little insirpiration from the 2011 Ikea Catalog. I will go there someday...
'Cause they're there for me too! Hands down my favorite tv show ever. I rewatched all ten seasons on DVD and let me tell you, it was time well spent. Monica and Chandler! Phoebe having the triplets! Joey and Hugsy, his bedtime penguin pal! Ross and Rachel have Emma! Love love love.
I also got this ring and really like it. Charlotte Russe - $4.
I got this image from a Harry Potter Tumblr, if it is yours let me know so I can give credit!!
Harry Potter should also be a favorite this month. I rewatched a good majority of the movies, stalked Harry Potter fanart on Tumblr, Finished up rereading the series and have had numerous deep Harry Potter discussions with my friends. Not to mention creating mixes on my computer that remind me of certain characters from the books (which I will share when they are more complete) and watching a JK Rowling special from the HBP Blu - Ray DVD. Are you scared yet? Cause you probably should be.
What are some of YOUR January favorites? Are you as happy as I am that it is over?

A Look Back in Time
Yay! I finally figured out how to make my pictures BIGGER! My word those teeny tiny microscopic images were driving me MAD! Good thing I know how to keep my composure, no? :)
Anyway, while trying to figure out how to make them bigger, I also made a little banner for myself! Not too shabby! It's a work in progress though.
Above is a photo of me when I was just a pup, making a face I often still make to this day. Ah, the life of a classy lady. For the record, I also loved that chair.
