L'année

Wow, it's August already? August 3rd, no less. A year flew by so quickly... one more to go! Everything will be alright :)

First day of cross-country, wow... I can't imagine doing this everyday, at 8 a.m. And then afterschool once school starts... but I can't quit. As easy as that is, I can't. It is strangely satisfying and I feel accomplished for spending my mornings running instead of sitting around on a computer and doing nothing... although that is fun too! Aha.

I just finished watching "Heima." It's basically Sigur Rós playing a series of free, unannounced concerts in their home country, Iceland ["Heima" means home in Icelandic]. WOW. It is so amazing and beautiful! I definitely want to visit Iceland someday. It seems isolated a bit, quiet, yet full of life and interesting people... Sigur Rós, their music is just so wonderful and I can't think of another band like them [well, I know there are other ones like Explosions in the Sky and The Candlepark Stars and such, but I'm biased!]. Combined with the film, it's enough to make you cry at parts... and Jónsi is so funny! Especially at the end, it went something like this: "Kjarri [band member]'s grandmother came to our concert and thought it was really loud. Then she heard it was on TV, so she's like, 'Why don't we just watch it on TV?!' And our finale was really intense, with alot of lights and flashes. She thought there was something wrong with the TV and turned it off!" Ahaha...

365 days. Countdown!

Thoughts

I'm so used to Tumblr... it's a bit weird blogging here.
No heart button and themes and "ask" boxes.

But still, hiiiiiii!

I've been away too long.

"I've been dancing on the tops of rooftops..."

Everything's anew

lifesindex.blogspot.com

Soon to be a collaboration between my friend and I.
Basically a series of inspirational little note cards [index cards]. Haha, get the pun? "Life's Index."
Inspired by this and this, maybe this, and this.

Nothing up yet, I have to get my scanner working......

How to not eat without your parents noticing

Sid: How do you do it?
Cassie: What?
Sid: Come on, Cass. I mean you never eat anything. Your parents must notice or something. I dunno.
Cassie: I like you, Sid.
Sid: ...Okay.
Cassie: So, I'm going to show you.
[begins cutting up food]
Cassie: You have to do a lot of talking. I'm good at talking. You do that while you're cutting things up, a lot. And then, questions.
[lifts fork to her mouth, stops]
Cassie: Where's your student card?
Sid: Sorry?
Cassie: Your ID.
[resumes cutting up food]
Cassie: Have you got it?
Sid: No. I, uh, lost it somewhere, last week.
Cassie: Change the subject. This is great. I love these sausages. You should try one. Go on.
[puts a sausage on Sid's plate]
Cassie: Delicious.
Sid: Hang on, you didn't...
Cassie: You're not quite sure what I'm on about, but I keep distracting you. So, then, I up the ante.
[picks up Sid's plate of fries]
Cassie: Yum, I love this stuff.
[pushes a few fries onto her plate]
Cassie: Really delicious. You're really sure that I want some more, so I'll keep waving at you, until you stop looking at me.
[raises fork to mouth, stops]
Cassie: Where'd you lose it?
Sid: Sorry?
Cassie: Your ID. I mean, they won't let you use the library, will they?
[checks watch on her ankle]
Cassie: God, I've got to go.
[starts clearing her plate, onto another one]
Cassie: So full. Gotta dash.
[gets up to leave]

Skins, of course. Our dear Cassie... so charming. Of course I would like the dreamy anorexic girl...
All the people on the show are so interesting. It reminds me of Glee or something, but with better characters and more problems... A gay guy [being gay is the least interesting about him!] who wants to be a dancer, a Muslim who doesn't follow his religion devoutly, a really smart clarinet player who has rappers for her family... and more. Maybe that sounds cliché but the show is anything but!

And British accents. Yeeeah.

P.S. Happy summer!

"I never really know who you are
You could be a ghost for all I know

Picking up pieces of my heart
Like leaves that have fallen on our garden path

You're a million miles away but
You couldn't be nearer."

It's been awhile.

I have nothing to say.

Except that Ivonne Thein is amazing.

Tumblr & goodbyes

http://hyperoverdose.tumblr.com

My latest project.

Speaking of projects, I better start working on my tree journal again. I've been slacking for about... 3 months? I blame it on the snow.

Goodbye blog, for awhile!
A busy busy life + Polyvore + tumblr = a miniature migration.
:)

'Til next time!

Mon rêve...

Howl's Moving Castle!!!
I really want to rewatch that movie now.
Currently during lunch, my friend is showing "Fight Club." :D
I'm excited to watch it!
Films are so good.

On a side note, I have no idea how to use a tumblr.
Yeah... I got inspired by someone. I like looking at pretty pictures.
And this song is stuck in my head...

"Your sweet moon-beam, the smell of you in every single dream I dream
I knew when we collided, you're the one I have decided
Who's one of my kind."

What do you do when you miss someone?

3/13.

I'm so happy I'm done with my SATs.
It was kinda like a reunion 'cause I saw my friends from other schools there! Funny place to have a reunion whilst taking SATs!
It went by pretty quickly, actually. But I was panicking a bit 'cause I started to run out of time on the writing sections. I feel like I did alright on the reading section though, so I calmed down... I don't know about math at all. I guess we'll just wait until April 1.

April Fools'. How appropriate, right? I bet they'll send me a letter saying I got 2400 and then... "April Fools!'' Aha. That would be really funny, but too bad College Board won't do that. April 1 is also the date for HSD! Aaaaah. -deep breath-

Today's such a relaxed day.
I finally went shopping with my friend after about a month and we completely forgot where all the stores were at first... And then Church tomorrow! I've never been so excited.
So sequins are back! At Forever 21 and all these stores, sequins were everywhere. No kidding! I'd like something with just a scatter of sparkle, but nothing like those miniskirts made entirely from gold sequins... bling much? And then those matte sequins that aren't shiny at all... what's the point? I really liked this... flapper skirt though. It was black with all this fringe on it and when you move, it moves with you. WHOOOOoooooosh! Too bad it's kinda expensive. I like 1920s' fashion though. Anyway...
It's frustrating when they don't have something in your size.
By the time we were done, it was dark outside and raining. It was so nice.
Daylight savings time means if I sleep at midnight, it's actually 11.
I'm such a rebel, staying up so late...!

Life in pictures

A playing card clip I made awhile ago. I wore it for the opening of Alice in Wonderland :)
Special occasion! Everyone should try making this; it's super-easy and fun, and you'll get alot of compliments on it!



My assignment book. It's much more vibrant in real-life though... I think the colours got muted as I took the picture. The quote/song lyric in the speech bubble is updated every quarter!
My friend does it for me, and we collaborate on the rest [mainly her though!]. For 3rd quarter, "Relax, take it easy" comes from the song of the same title by MIKA! It's such a good reminder for me, especially as SATs and alot of tests are coming up >.<



Little doodles by moi.



My friend and me started drawing on little index cards for each other in physics. We waste so much time in that class... aha.



The little girl's left arm is demented... poor her! Oops :p
A song lyric from "The Show" ~Lenka.

I draw during almost every period of my A days.
I need to in order to get through the day.

Alice & Movies!

WOW.
A long-need update!

So I saw Alice in Wonderland (the Tim Burton version, of course) on opening night.
My thoughts? The scenery was really beautiful, and really reflected the kind of dark/haunting/yet beautiful Tim Burton feel... I was SO excited when the Mad Hatter appeared at the Tea Party! Johnny Depp played the role so well. The ending part with slaying the Jabberwocky was a bit... overdone and unneccessary... I mean, the battle scene as the climax has been done so many times before. But I really liked the movie's actual ending, with the Smoking Caterpillar turning into a butterfly! Overall, I really enjoyed it. I think I will buy Alice on DVD when it comes out! Alice's futterwacken [sp?] dance at the end was such a funny sign of rebellion x] There is so much Alice merchandise now; I really want a new Alice t-shirt...





So I've been watching movies after getting home from school. Movies DO take up alot of time, but I usually come home and waste time on the Internet anyway... "An Education" is such an amazing movie!! From the beginning to the end, everything was so perfect, and I love Jenny's accent. What else can I say... you HAVE to watch it. It reminded of me of Lolita, Breakfast At Tiffany's, and (500) Days Of Summer... :) Carey Mulligan is so pretty! With her short hair, she almost looks like Mia Wasiakowska...





And I finally watched "Spirited Away" for the FIRST TIME today. Yeah... I've never seen it before! I kept on putting it off for some reason; I meant to watch it during the summer... well. Chihiro and Haku are so cute. I love her voice actress! No wonder everyone loves this film. It's just so, so... classic. The pigs were kinda disturbing though... they reminded me of "Animal Farm." And have you noticed that there's always a fat, blubbery sloppy creature in Miyazaki films? Like... the witch in Howl's Moving Castle and No-Face when he eats all the people... but anyways, Hayao Miyazaki films are always pretty amazing. Howl's Moving Castle, Ponyo, etc! Maybe I'll go on a movie binge...





SATs on Saturday.
Then comes shopping and fun stuff. I can't wait.

Charlie.

I love "The Perks of Being a Wallflower."
=]


"And in that moment, I swear we were infinite."

Infinite. by MissWonderlander on Polyvore.com

On an unrelated note, TWO DAYS UNTIL THE NEW ALICE IN WONDERLAND MOVIE COMES OUT!!! :D

Who else is watching it on opening night? [or midnight premiere?]

Creep

"I don't care if it hurts
I wanna have control
I want a perfect body
I want a perfect soul."

Dreams are free [expletive]

It's funny how they write [expletive] in newspapers for interviews in which someone curses...

Um.
I don't really want to blog anymore.
I'm bored.
Feeling a bit like another post I've written about... Déjà vu.
.

There's not enough time to do everything I want tooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

...when you're bored, Polyvore is a good cure.

My feelings are more important than yours

Revamp!
Uuum.... I'm not sure this is how I meant for it to turn out when I started changing it!
I kinda wanted it to be black and everything is floating in it, like the Cheshire Cat's maniacal grin.It's certainly... darker than before.
But a change is needed, especially since it's A WEEK until the new Alice in Wonderland movie comes out! :D

*************************************************
Razor blade, that's what I call love
I bet you pick it up and mess around with it
If I put it down
It gets extremely complicated
Anything to forget everything

You got to take me out
At least once a week
Whether I'm in your arms
Or I'm at your feet
I know exactly what you're thinking
You won't say it now
But in your heart it's loud

Oh no, my feelings are more important than yours
Oh, drop dead, I don't care, I won't worry
There you go

Oh, the razor blade
Wish it would snap this rope
The world is in your hand
Or it's at your throat
At times it's not that complicated
Anything to forget everything

He would never talk
But he was not shy
She was a street-smart girl
But she could not lie
They were perfect for each other
Say it now
'Cause in your heart it's loud.

Ideas

So I've been thinking about some new blog ideas:

1) I have some friends who continually wear really cool jewellery [like I have an Earrings friend and a Rings friend]... so I've been thinking about making a blog dedicated to their style? Maybe? I'd have to remember to bring my camera all the time though...

2) A collection of beautiful people [in my opinion, at least]. But none of them will be celebrities, just my friends and/or other people who are pretty...

3) A music blog? Well... I don't discover -that- much cool music though >.<

In psychology class, I started thinking about characters with parts of their brain cut out... like the lateral hypothalamus. Or getting their amygdalas damaged and then being fearless in their life.

I don't even know.
Thoughts?

Double Approach-Avoidance Conflict

"Grounded, boxed in, I'm stuck with you..."

Stalkerness + potential friend + clingyness + extreme perseverance and dedication = a very odd friendship.

And now for some pictures!



Taken by my friend Cat during lunch! I love the macro setting... [THAT'S what it's called when one thing is in really sharp focus and everything else is blurry! I love it!]



Another lovely photo. Taken during French class by Cat as well.
Her stuff is so cute :3



A very...... special friend who goes by Rishi.
Those photos down are all taken by moi.



Smile! And she says those kitty ears don't look good on her...
Stephen Smiley, Type A.
Oh my gosh, those stereotypical character-types are so fun to read x]
"Nietzsche Wannabe."



I felt bad for taking photos of her in my dress... 'cause it was kinda cold. Actually, not as cold as usual, so maybe the weather was being nice to us. I love the look of girls wearing dresses in the winter though, especially when paired with snow. It's a nice contrast... I was gonna have her draw a heart.



Snow!



I was trying to go for the Mulan look... like the reflections?
"When will my reflection show who I am inside?"



And... a random picture of my nails.
I found these nail art stickers and put it on top of colour-changing nail polish...
they got all sticky and started peeling though >.<

Soaked

Picture credits to *sweetmoon.

"Soaked to the bone
Sink like a stone
Walk home alone
It's not the first time, it's not the worst crime
Your soul will be okay

When you've had enough
Searching for love
And you miss the touch
Of someone new

Burns by dreams
It's never how it seems
Cold crushed esteem
Take shelter and hide forever
Your soul will be okay."

Muse + Adam Lambert + new song = !
