New Year's Eve...

About to head over to my Grandma's for a family New Year's Eve dinner.  I can't believe it has been a year.  Goodness gracious, time waits for no one.  I have made a few resolutions myself and I'm really hoping I can keep them up.  This year is going to be better.

Bring it on 2011...BRING IT.

Movie...

Just finished watching The Legend of 1900. 

 Beautiful piano pieces.  1920s Era.  Tim Roth.  

Yes, please.

Radio...

Feel Like Making Love by Bad Company was playing on the radio on the way home from the doctor today.  I just thought that was a bit of awesome I needed to share in my day.  Oh! and my friend made me an awesome sandwich for lunch.  Sandwiches have to be one of the greatest things on earth (especially HIS sandwiches).

I am now officially using my inhaler again.  All I need is a pair of glasses and I'm all set for a NeRdTaStIc look!  I even have suspenders!

I watched Glee with my mommy today.  It meant more to me than she'll ever know.  I love her so much but I don't know how to show it.  That seems to be a reoccurring problem with me.  I am this blank cold thing to everyone, but inside, about to burst with so many thoughts and feelings.

Once upon a time...

there was a girl who loved her family and loved Christmas.  The End.

The Night Before Christmas...

'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse;
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there;
The children were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads;
And mamma in her 'kerchief, and I in my cap,
Had just settled down for a long winter's nap,
When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.
Away to the window I flew like a flash,
Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash.
The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow
Gave the lustre of mid-day to objects below,
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But a miniature sleigh, and eight tiny reindeer,
With a little old driver, so lively and quick,
I knew in a moment it must be St. Nick.
More rapid than eagles his coursers they came,
And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name;
"Now, Dasher! now, Dancer! now, Prancer and Vixen!
On, Comet! on Cupid! on, Donder and Blitzen!
To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall!
Now dash away! dash away! dash away all!"
As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly,
When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky,
So up to the house-top the coursers they flew,
With the sleigh full of toys, and St. Nicholas too.
And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof
The prancing and pawing of each little hoof.
As I drew in my head, and was turning around,
Down the chimney St. Nicholas came with a bound.
He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot,
And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot;
A bundle of toys he had flung on his back,
And he looked like a peddler just opening his pack.
His eyes -- how they twinkled! his dimples how merry!
His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry!
His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow,
And the beard of his chin was as white as the snow;
The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth,
And the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath;
He had a broad face and a little round belly,
That shook, when he laughed like a bowlful of jelly.
He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf,
And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself;
A wink of his eye and a twist of his head,
Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread;
He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,
And filled all the stockings; then turned with a jerk,
And laying his finger aside of his nose,
And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose;
He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,
And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.
But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight,

"Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good-night."

In a time...

Just finished watching Paper Man.  It was pretty interesting.  One highlight of being sick is I can watch movies all day.  Some how I just realized this.  I must be really sick.  Packages slowly coming in.  I'll only be receiving two before Christmas which is really terrible but I least I got everyone something.  I'm really irked by how slowly everyone is at shipping things though.  I send the payment, it goes through, and then they decide to wait like 3 days.  It's lame and inconsiderate. I can't really do much about it though. 

Still haven't finished my paper for UT.  I'm rather intimidated by the school.  I wish I wasn't panicky about everything.  I worry so much.  I have a feeling I'll probably end up going to UCF even if UT's program is much better.   But at the moment I'd rather not think about the matter.  It makes me sad.  

I'm feeling a lot better at the moment but this sickness has been fluctuating between bouts of pain and normalness, so let's hope this one will last.  I need to go eat something and take my meds then I think back to movies. 

More tissues, please...

So sick.  I do not remember the last time I was this sick.  I'm on my second tissue box.  So much pain.  Meds. work. now. please.

Meds work already...

Today...was slightly miserable when it came to my health.  Super Sick. On meds now but hopefully will be better for Christmas.  On the much lighter note, my friend sat with me in my car while I moaned and groaned and even brought me a cookie.  Then we headed to urgent care so I could see a doctor and figure out what I had.  He was there the whole day with me.  So awesome. He is the best.

GAH...

So I just figured out that I won't be receiving part of my best friends present for another month.  Ridiculous.  All my families presents are going to be coming in late as well but that's my fault for ordering them less than a week before Christmas.  Lame.  I wanted them wrapped and underneath the tree. My mom doesn't even know I got her anything so it would have been a great surprise. 

I finished applying to two more colleges last night.  Just one more to go and it's my top pick.  I don't know why this topic has been so tough for me  to conquer but I have to finish it soon.  Maybe I can today if I really work at it.  They might have already sent my grades over and there's no application to go with it! 

Presents...

I just spent hours(YES, HOURS) trying to find presents for people in my family while not emptying out my bank account.  It was a success.  Although, I am still missing presents for two of my brothers, but I have an idea of what I want to get them.  I am falling asleep as I type so I must depart.

Liberry...

I had a peppermint hot chocolate this morning(yum) and chatted it up with a friend in his truck. I'm going to be at the library pretty much all day today.  Study study! So I've got my text books, laptop, notebook and knitting materials. hehe. I'll only be out to grab a bite to eat and to take my World History final because after that I have to study for my Human Development final on Thursday.  I really need an A to pull off an A in the class.  I'm so close it's ridiculous.  

Speaking of being at the library ALL DAY LONG, I found this site of the 20 most beautiful libraries in the world.  You should give it a looksy.  If there weren't so many dang people here, I'd probably be enjoying my time more or it might be the fact that they are all rather loud and not old.  Old people are quiet, respectful and READ at the library. 

Bashaw...

Gah. I was invited to a Christmas party today but I'm not sure I'm going to go.  I slept quite irregularly and had a dream that at some point involved my cat having two kittens and a hippo.  I also have to study for my upcoming exams and finish writing a study guide for a friend that missed the review day.  I feel bad I haven't given it to her yet.  I really want to finish this scarf I'm working on and work on my sketchbook though, but I will finish the review first(which will help me study for the test) and then pick one of the other classes.  I'm only truly worried about one of the tests.  I haven't gotten and A on any of the previous tests yet but I was able to maintain a B.  Worry worry.  I finished some hats earlier this week for some friends.  I'm almost 100% they are both too big for their heads which has put me in a blegh mood.  I really wanted them to be perfect.  Now they might look like weird cone heads :(  And this scarf was going to be for my mom but she bought me yarn to finish it yesterday and I feel like it would be weird to give it to her now.  I still gotta make one for my best friend but I'm having trouble finding the right color.  Jeez! I should be worrying about exams.

Sketchtala...

I finally started my sketchbook.  

I didn't come out exactly as I wanted it to.  I think the top of the jellyfish is weird, but it was fun to draw and watercolor is fun to work with it.

Trees...

A friend and I went walking early this morning at a park in the cold weather.  It was quite delightful.  We also climbed a tree and talked in it until he had to leave for work.  I also got to see two high school buddies today!  Very exciting.  Its been maybe two years since I've seen them.  We hung out at one of their houses for a bit and caught up and then drove to go climb a huge tree that was over one hundred years old!  We managed to get pretty high up.  It was scary going from tree branch to tree branch without anything to hold onto but I felt my sense of adventure overpowering the voice telling me to not go any further.  I was proud of myself.  I was able to reach the highest point out of the three of us which was uncomfortably high, but fun.  After that, we headed to an auto parts store to pick up some parts for my friend's car and then back to the house.  It was nice to see them again.

Eggnoggin'...

I went to my friend's house last night!  We lit up the fire place and had cereal and eggnog while watching Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.  Awesome? YES.  Sadly I had to leave early to pick up my brother from his friend's house but it was quite amazing while it lasted.  I love how Sean Connery is Indiana's father.  Only James Bond is cool enough to be his dad. haha.

I missed the deadline for one of the schools.  Oh well. It was all the way in California.  I don't know how I would have handled the move.  Still have 5 more schools lined up so we will see what happens.

HA...

Edited the intro today.  There are still things I want to do with it and I just now thought of a better scene to edit with it. GOSH. I SHALL NEVER BE SATISFIED. UNLESS THERE'S A SANDWICH INVOLVED....yea....so tomorrow I think I'm going to refilm that scene.  I have no story. HA.

Diciembre!

IT IS OFFICIALLY DECEMBER!!! Just so you know...in case you lost your calendar or something.  It's supposed to be cold tonight and tomorrow!!! YAY!  I filmed random things today.  One shot I got was really wonderful.  I'm not exactly sure what I'm going to do with all these random scenes but it was fun to film.
