Sorry for the random hiatus :(

I just finished watching Easy Virtue, and DIED. The story was great but the costumes were amazing! Jessica Beil's tango dress especially.

Cheese!

So sorry I've been neglecting you poor blog.

I haven't been terribly busy but the internet has been down, either slow or not working at all. To get on with it, I just saw Julie and Julia. It was incredible, I heard the Julie parts weren't as good as the Julia parts but I thought it was good all around. It made me want to bake. I've decided to go gluten free again ( I did it once in fourth grade to decrease my eczema) for two months. Gluten is in bread and most starch products so baking could be a problem. I've heard there's gluten free flour so maybe I'll be fine. School is approaching and I still need a few things. I start later then other schools but I still dread it (though not as much as my brother). I must go, Au revior!

I don't know what you lovely readers do for summer but I spend a lot of it reading mags and staying home alone. I woke up and have been alone since then. I've gotta start planning things to do. otherwise I'll get bored. Central park mabes, babysitting, bike riding. I just finished Big Daddy (my fave Adam Sandler movie) which I hadn't seen in a while.
I didn't sleep a lot last night but got up early anyway and I'm not particularly hungry.
Gotta go turn up the air conditioner, Happy Summer!

Ahhh Summer!

Yesterday was one of the most unproductive days I've ever had. If only my English teacher could hear my grammar now. I did all my morning stuff at 8 and the only creative thing I did was start a puzzle. At around 9 I went to Texas Rotisserie and Grill for dinner. It was nice but it's not my favorite restaurant. It was D's idea, he loves he place. After we went to Barnes and Noble for like, 2 seconds to wait to see a movie. The movie was Year One and it was great. I don't love Jack Blacks acting style but it worked for this movie. Michael Cera, of course was amazing! The humor was suggestive but rarely vulgar and the whole audience was bursting with laughter the whole time. See it!
I got an itunes gift card from my grandma and use almost all of it this morning (afternoon?). I bought some songs and episodes (was their a rule about tv on your ipod at camp?) that I love but haven't watched yet cause I'm reading.
I got my last issue of Elle before camp! I haven't finished yet but I love the shirt Gwen Stefani wears on the cover.
Yesterday I came back from the movie and my ma bought out a new dress from ebay! I will never be able to ebay like that. It's gorgeous black velvet with a bow tie in the back. It needs to be tailored but a few at home adjustments and I can ear it to my ma's boyfriend's parents house for fathers day dinner.
Au revoir ma petites! Kisses to you all!

Various occurrences

I just finished the first spider man movie. I didn't remember anything so it was awesome watching it. Sooo recommend watching it. I'm a huge sucker for superhero movies. My fave is batman;). I think I'm gonna have ta skip baking again today, maybe tomorrow...or after that.
My grandma came over with gifts and took us out to brunch. I got 7 cds and a new camera to replace the other one. Those are the gifts prominent in my mind. I'm listening to all the cds and putting them in my ipod right now but soon I'm gonna have to stop so I can clean. It'll be hard though. I can't be the only one who thinks Jesse McCartney is hot and makes good music though, right? Last birthday my grandma gave me a camera and I loved it to death but couldn't hold onto it well. After she gave me a case the injuries decreased but when I went to winter camp the unthinkable happened. I let the only one there I trusted (besides the friend I went there with) hold it and when I came back it wouldn't turn on. My grandma took it to the shop and was told it had been dropped on it's lens. Instead of paying the hefty price to repair it she bought me a new one. I promise I will not drop it, lose it, or mistreat it. I will also keep it in it's case and register it online. On to using up the 500 spots for photos!!!!!!

Got a bit(/a lot) of random thing so I'm gonna go with bullet points!

• I should probably explain about camp so you don't think I've deserted you when I leave. I'm leaving June 28 for a seven week camp in Massachusetts. Although it's awesome (fourth year!) it doesn't have computer access for campers. So I won't be able to use a computer 'till august.

• While I'm at camp somebody will be painting my room! I saw a picture of a green room and immediately wanted a green room! I read the feng shui of green because that's important to me and found out that it's calming and associated with wood. It's also associated with growth and healing so I told my ma and went to find color samples at Benjamen Moore. Now I just have to choose between four colors.
  
• Going back to Tuesday I forgot to tell about the pot that fell on my head. I was emptying the dishwasher and putting a lid under the pots. The lid lifted the pot and it fell onto my head. It hurt and now there's a dent on the pot and a bump at my hairline.
• Last night I sat down in front of the TV and watched my two shows! They didn't disappoint!
• Remember yesterday when I saw Grease? Well I just got it from netflix. Oops.
  
• Just did my thank you notes with stationary from my Grandma while watching I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here! That's my brother fave show and I gotta admit it's decent. Last night I got an awesome Sigg bottle from my cousin that I already love.
• While on the subject of bday gifts I am dying to make one of the recipes from the desert cookbook I got. Maybe the chocolate brownie roulades or the deep chocolate cheesecake or the chocolate butterfly cakes. Mm I can almost smell them. As you can probably tell the chocolate ones appeal to me the most.
  

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yesterday was my bday! I got tons of awesome stuff from my friends and although the beach was a bit cold most of us went into the water. I'm so excited about doing some new recipes I got from the presents that were cookbooks! The cupcakes I made came out great! The night before some friends came over to help me with cupcakes and sandwiches. Well, I didn't actually make any of the sandwiches but still. At the beach everyone had tons of fun and we were like the only ones there most of the time so it's like I booked the whole beach. I still haven't got all of my presents yet so my bday is extended! 

Right now I'm watching Grease and its really good. I should watch

 it more often. I love Sandy's accent! 

"Please just hear me out."*

Today I baked two types of the cupcakes for MY BIRTHDAY. I also bought Marie Claire because lately I haven't been able to go long without reading a magazine. In the afternoon we went with friends to Orchard Beach to collect crabs and other sea stuff. I was pretty squeamish but D got two really big ones, one missing a claw. We named those two Alien (1 claw) and Predator because they were fighting. We tried to get them fight but Alien jumped out of the bowl and another one did too so we put them away. I like Predator best.
Last night I watched Happy Texas with my Ma and friends. It was sooo good! For those of you who don't know it it's about 2 prison escapees who are mistaken for a gay couple helping out with the local pageant. A totally hilarious movie, just wonderful. The first line was a joke!
Well, Bye!
* See My Side-Jordan Sparks. Been listening to that song on repeat.

No school!

Sorry I couldn't post yesterday, I was too busy enjoying NO SCHOOL! There was more flu or swine flu or something but anyway school is closed this week. So we have 3 half days with no classes and then summer next week. Oh, and i found the perfect outfit for field day! You may ask what the hell that is. It is a day filled with sporting contests where we compete against half the school. Each team has a color from the school, I am on yellow (the other's blue) and have never been able to find a totally yellow outfit. Now I have yellow sofi shorts, a yellow tank and a slouchy yellow shirt to go over that. Although they said no socializing so we don't get sick (I already got sick) I went out with friends to day and have a grade party Friday. We went to see Up and it wasn't great but it was cute. My fav character was Doug("I was hiding under the porch because I love you")! Than we went to my friends house to watch Twilight while eating pizza and slushies. right now I'm listening to Maroon 5 and must catch up on some stuff. Bye!

Sick

Today 30 people were sick. It's crazy thy didn't let us leave. throughout the day I got killer headaches and felt slightly woozy. I went to the nurse twice and didn't get out. When i came home the fever flared and I've been lying in my moms bead watching Transformers for like 3 hours. Its a good movie but after a while I couldn't watch. Fortunately I'm not allowed to go to school tomorrow and can only go Thursday if I have a 24 hour period fever-free. That all means my math test is postponed! Though I'm not sure its worth it feeling like this.
Goodbye and happy Tuesday!

Magazines

Magazines have always had a special place in my bookshelf. My tastes have evolved but I have always followed a few religiously. Currently, I'm in love with Elle and PeopleStylewatch. I also follow Seventeen and TeenVogue but I don't love them the same way. Today however, I desperately needed a magazine and had already gotten my normals so I got Lucky. I've always loved the covers but was hesitant to buy them because of all the others. Now that I've read my first one though I think I'm hooked! It's informative and filled with lots of great sites and items on the glossy pages. I love how they styled Diane Kruger for the cover shoot! This weekend has been filled with treats. Today I bought a vest I've been meaning to buy for a year (no kidding). Yesterday my mom came home with some black fringe sandals and a lower, strappier version of my heels that were approved by my chiropractor. I'm crazy about them both and even went biking in my vest and sandals. I went biking in my dress and sandals which was dumb as I didn't know how cold it was. Almost like torture when it started drizzling. Last night we watched part of the documentary Religulous with Bill Maher. It's truly genius and we're finishing it tonight with salt and vinegar chips and Bertie bots every flavor beans. I'm not very religious though I do celebrate a variety of holidays so his logic makes sense to me.

Well mon amies, until tomorrow.

OMG, House

Just finished the season finale of House and GOD it is was amazing! The twists were crazy! If you haven't seen the season you must! I went to the orthodentist and unfortunately I have to wear rubber bands. I Hate rubber bands, they hurt and the schedule of changing them is ridiculous. I guess I'll have to bear through it, they'll be off soon. At least Summer is soon, ahhhhh. pus camp which I'm looking forward to( I'll explain camp another time).

Adios amigos!

Bye Bye Birdie

At this moment I am watching bye bye birdie and it's wonderful. Ann Margaret is sensational and the costumes are lovely! I love the scene where Birdie first comes to sweet apple, the club scene with Hugo and Kim, and the scene where Rosie goes to Club Maude. They are such great dance numbers not to mention the songs are great. This made me think of another great movie; West Side Story. Both are terrific and if by some chance you haven't seen these wonderful films, see them now!!!!!

ankle

I went to a chiropractor today and bad news! I need to wear supportive shoes for the next 3 days and I cant do PE. Okay so the shoe part isn't that bad and I can't complain about delaying lacrosse but still!
In others news I read an article about child armies and the facts are horrific (parents selling their kids into service, kids murdering villages etc.) Can't leave on note like that so I'll tell you about some movies I'm dying to see. For starters Easy Virtue, its about an American who marries a Brit with an uptight family. sounds hilarious( for trailer see hulu). Also, 17 Again looks good. Zac Efron plays a man who is transported into his 17 year old body in today's time.
well bye y'all!
