Everything is adding up, up, uuuup

Making my escape
Making my escape
Tell myself that
Everything's in shape
Everything's in shape
But me
How long can this take
How long can this take
Tell myself that
Everything is great
Everything is great
Well how'm I doing?

I gotta great idea
I'm gonna wait right here
I gotta great idea
I'm gonna wait right here
While everything is adding
Up, up, up
Everything is adding
Up, up, up

Breaking both my hands
Breaking both my hands
Telling me to
Take it like a man
Take it like a man
I can't
I don't understand
I don't understand
Please repeat whatever you just said
Nothing's making sense
Well how'm I doing?

I gotta great idea
I'm gonna wait right here
I gotta great idea
I'm gonna wait right here
While everything is adding
Up, up, up
Everything is adding
Up, up, up

They're breaking both my hands
They're breaking both my hands
And telling me to
Take it like a man
And take it like a man
Well fuck that
I don't understand
Said I don't understand
So please repeat whatever you just said
'cause nothing's making sense
Well how'm I doing?

I gotta great idea
I'm gonna wait right here
I gotta great idea
I'm gonna wait right here
While everything is adding
Up, up, up
Everything is adding
Up, up, up

Some lovely photos of the snow...



I like the rainbowness against the white snow :)
There's a brigher picture... but I need to find it.



Our neighbour's poor tree!
Truly a snowy scene...



My mum's reflection! I took this near our window and the light reflected from the kitchen got captured in the shot.



I thought the half-circle atop the mailbox was funny... and then the glow of the streetlamp.



Shadows.



I LOVE ICE PICTURES.
End of story!!
For some reason, only this person's house had really cool icicles :D
I got really excited...
It's so icy and intricate and crystalline! Frozen H2O, aha.



Sunset. It doesn't look snowy at all, does it?



Again with the iiiiceeee.



My favourite!
The sunlight casts such a pretty glow on the tree branches... and the snow kinda looks like dewdrops...

D.I.Y.

Yet another snow day...

Here's a picture post!
[I was really quite bored!]

My various projects and endeavors resulting from my boredness:



A work-in-progress of a turtleneck shirt I'm turning into a tank top.
I sewed one of the straps today, so I just have to finish the other one [hem and attach]. There's supposed to be another pocket with a skull on it... but I'm not sure whether to include it or not. This was entirely inspired by this: Click!
But I can't make anything from scratch, so I just worked with what I already had.



A pretty design! Aha.
Note how the white one is really looooong...



A white circley scarf I made from t-shirts and then tied with tulle.
Found on cutoutandkeep.com! Click!
They're both supposed to be white t-shirts, but one ended up looking grey 'cause it was my old
P.E. uniform... >.<



Finally, I turned this ugly tie-dye shirt into something beautiful :p
Actually, tie-dye is rarely ugly... maybe it was just the mustard yellow colour [it was really vivid and blotchy before].



My first attempt at the scarf, it's reeeally short. Only 12 loops!
And I don't know why I look so pale here, the picture was taken at the same time as the others... >.>



A simple skirt made out of my dad's oversized t-shirt.
I added the bows to make it cuter :3



A little cake made of felt.
I made it for my mum last year, when I was obsessed with felt plushies x]
I also made a taco plushie for my AP world teacher...
I should've taken a picture!



Cake?



Mr. Ghost!
Now I'm just taking photos of random things in my room... x]

Check Spelling
Reading list! Just some of it...
I read "The Great Gatsby" yesterday.
I like the cover art!



I'm reading "Fahrenheit 451" now, it's quite good so far...
It took me awhile to realise that "firemen" weren't firemen in the traditional sense at all... perhaps "bookburners" would be a more approprite title!



I've taken the idea of putting little Post-It notes in books for people to find... with random song lyrics and inspirational quotes. I think I saw this on a Post-Secret or something... I like the idea of finding a little note randomly, in a book whilst reading... :)



I think this is Madame Bovary.



I wonder if anyone will actually find this...?
Someone also had the idea of making really minuscule drawings in books and then declaring to everyone you're having an art exhibit!



Catch-22...?



I like that quote.



What I'm watching!



This girl had the genius idea of making wish stars into earrings!!
It took me forever to poke a hole through it though, who knew paper would be so hard?
The rest are made with Shrinky Dinks, charms, or beads.



SUPER-COOL!!! I want my room to be like that!
This girl from the site... apparently some of the stars glow in the dark, too!



I made this!! My mum was quite impressed.
It was originally a turtleneck sweater. It's based off the "t-shirt shrug" idea off cutoutandkeep.com, but I added buttons instead of threading a ribbon.



I think I nearly fainted when I saw Mia Wasikowska on the cover of this month's Teen Vogue!!! [she's playing Alice in the new Tim Burton film]
Alice in Wonderland is everywhere :DD



Aliiiiice!
Wait.
WHAT 1972 U.K. adapation???
I gotta watch it!!!



So cute, the guy reminds me of Max from "Where The Wild Things Are"...
In fact, I think the resemblance is intentional.
From the prom insert of Teen Vogue.



Kurt Cobain in a cheerleader uniform!!!
Lol, this made me laugh :D

So my friend and I started a TWOLHA club at our school... Unfortunately, due to all the snow, it's uncertain when school will start again [hopefully not soon, that's for sure!], so I don't know when our first meeting will be...

But read this: Click! It's an article about the founder of "To Write Love On Her Arms", and I really really hope our club works out... It would be amazing to prevent someone from suicide, or to help people, even just one person. It would be worth it...

~List Of Movies To Watch~

-Eclipsed

-etc...

Come with me

We took a back road
We're gonna look at the stars
We took a backroad in my car
Down to the ocean
It’s only water and sand
And in the ocean we'll hold hands

But I don't really like you
Apologetically dressed in the best
But on a heartbeat glide

Without an answer,
The thunder speaks for the sky
And on the cold, wet dirt I cry.

Don’t you wanna come with me?
Don’t you wanna feel my bones
On your bones?
It's only natural.

A cinematic vision ensued
Like the holiest dream
It's someone's calling?
An angel whispers my name
But the message relayed is the same:
“Wait till tomorrow,
you'll be fine."
But it's gone to the dogs in my mind.
I always hear them
When the dead of night
Comes calling to save me from this fight.
But they can never wrong this right.

I... I... I... I... you!
I... I... I... I... you! you!

What's he gonna
What's he gonna
What's he gonna get?

So long you'll never be afraid

What's he gonna
What's he gonna
whats he gonna get

So long you'll never be the same

Turn your head look right out
None of these faces matter
These are the ones you see right through
If it's gonna be it's all it's gonna be with you

I... I... I... I... you!
I... I... I... I... you! you!

Who knows where we are
All eyes alone
Tangled onto arms
Two arms are one

As long as were young
Keep you always In love
Fall in hands
Feel you holding us up

Crying for you.

******************************************************************

Sweet dreams mon cherie...
I'm making donuts tomorrow, get ready!

YOU ARE THE PURPLE IN ME





I've gotta big big big big heart beat, yeah
I think you are the sweetest thing
I wear a coat of feelings and they are loud
I've been having good days
Think we are the right age
To start out own peculiar ways
With good friendly homes?

You get me freaked freaked freaked on preakness
Never met a girl that likes to drink with horses
Knows her Chinese ballet
Must admit you smell like fruity nuts and good grains
When you show my purple gaze
A thing or two at night

Make me sick sick sick to kiss you and I think that I would vomit
But I'll do that on Mondays I don't have a work way
I like it when I bump you, an accident's a truth gate
I'm humbled in your pretty lense
I'll hold you, don't you go
Sometimes you're quiet and sometimes I'm quiet
Hallelujah!
Sometimes I'm talkative and sometimes you're not talkative
I know....

Well I'd like to spread your perfume around the old apartment
Could we live together and agree on the same wares?
A trapeze is a bird cage even if its empty and definitely fits the room
And we would toooo

And my dear dear dear khalana
I talk too much about you
Their ears are getting tired of me singing all the night through
Let's just talk together
You and me and me and you
And if there's nothing much to say
Well, silence is a bore

I've gotta big big big big heart beat, yeah
I think you are the sweetest thing
I wear a coat of feelings and they are loud
I've been having good days
Think we are the right age
To start out own peculiar ways
With good friendly homes?

Sometimes you're quiet and sometimes I'm quiet
Hallelujah!
Sometimes I'm talkative and sometimes you're not talkative
I know....
Sometimes you hear me when others they can't hear me.
Hallelujah!
Sometimes I'm naked and thank God sometimes you're naked.
Well, hello.....

Can I tell you that you are the purple in me?
Can I call you just to hear you, would you care?
When I saw you put your purple finger on me
There's a feelin' in your bottle
Found your bottle, found your heart
Gives a feeling from your bottled little part

You suddenly complete me.



It's been snowing since 10 a.m. this morning, and all the snow is weighing my neighbour's tree down!! :(
But it's quite beautiful outside... everything, I mean EVERYTHING is buried in pure, white, undisturbed snow. The way our streetlamp casts a glow on it, the snow almost looks violet...
Today actually -felt- like we had a snow day off from school, I had fun...
Tea in the morning, then off to the library [Lewis Carroll's biography! The Great Gatsby, etc...]. They never have "The Perks Of Being A Wallflower" though, I finally put it on hold. Ha! :p
Is it -that- popular? Everyone says it's an amazing book though.
And then we bought ICE CREAM!!! It's NEVER too cold for ice cream!
Two cartons.
They have the weirdest flavours [in a good way though, I've heard of wasabi ice cream, bacon ice cream, etc... meat-flavoured ice cream: that's just revolting!]... "lemon sugar cookie", "key lime pie"...
I hope the key lime pie one is good. It's funny, I've eaten so many key-lime-pie-flavoured stuff, but never the actual pie itself...
I made like three circle-y scarfs off cutoutandkeep and failed miserably at making a dress... aha.
I did sew a cardigan out of my mum's turtleneck sweater, and she was quite impressed.
Maybe I'll post pictures here after I'm done sewing the button holes >.< [so time-consuming!'
At any rate...
Sleep time, good night~

~Quotes~

"Spend life with who makes you happy, not who you have to impress." ~Random Polyvore quote

"What? You're beautiful. People around you must be blind." ~Anonymous

P.S. The acoustic versions of Yeah Yeah Yeahs songs are so good... :D I've been re-listening to "It's Blitz!" and falling in love with it again... Acoustics are so beautiful!!

And Taylor Swift.

Kate Nash is brill =]



"You're chatting to me, like we connect
But I don't even know if we're still friends
It's so confusing,
Understanding you is making me not want to do

And think things like: 'I know I should do'
But I trip up and then I lose
I hate looking like a fool

The lights are on
And someone's home
I'm not sure if they're alone
There's someone else inside my head
Living to fill me with dread

This paranoia is distressing
But I spend most of my night guessing
Are we not, are we together?
Will this make our lives much better?

I'm not in love
I just wanna be touched

Oops I think I've got too close
'Cause now he's telling me I'm girl that he likes most
Now I messed up, it's not the first time
I'm not saying you're not on my mind
I hope that you don't think I'm unkind..."

"Pumpkin Soup" ~Kate Nash
I love her British diction: "this para-noia is- dis-tressing."
Each syllable is so proper and distinct!

So yeah, this pretty much sums up my life lately.
Perfectly fitted into a song!
x]



Watch the video, it's sooo cute!



The set for the music video.



Love her shirt! x]
Kate's style is lovely... [I like her dresses and leggings stuff!]

I am a superstar with a big big house and a big big car



"I am a superstar with a big big house and a big big car,

Jealous people kiss my butt,
I'm so fly I'll make you cry,
Cross my heart and hope to die.

I am a superstar with a big big house and a big big car,
I am a superstar and I don't care who you are,
I am a superstar with a big big house and a big big car,
I am a superstar and I don't care who you are.

I am a superstar and I don't care who you are,
I am a superstar with a big big house and a big big car,
I am a superstar and I don't care who you are."

"SUPERSTAR" ~TOY-BOX IS THE NEW BARBIE GIRL, I'M CONVINCED OF IT.
The girl has that super-cute voice and even the guy has an unnaturally low voice like Ken! :p It's a song you love to hate but it's so catchy...

This made me laugh...



Lovely hairdo x]
