"This page reveals it"

So yesterday was an insanely long & hectic day—but I survived! I gave my speech, took my quiz, met Sherman Alexie (which got me surprisingly overly-excited) and studied the night away!

<3
Highlight of my day? Obviously meeting Sherman Alexie. The book reading was held at Barnes&Nobles in Union Sq. and as usual I arrived five minutes late. I found myself standing for an hour since by then all the seats were taken. Maybe if Alexie wasn’t as brilliant as he was, I would have minded, but boy oh boy he is the MAN! He was comical & witty & left the crowd more than pleased. After the book reading, a line was formed for him to sign autographs—half an hour wait—but it was worth it. When my friend and I finally came up to Alexie he signed all three of my books, took a picture with me & when I asked “Who is the killer in Indian Killer?” He responded with “I’m not telling!” He then flipped to a page in the book and wrote “this page reveals it”. I received the answer from the author himself! Boy do I feel cool! I’m going to be the coolest kid in class tomorrow, just you wait and see : ). Although even with this little hint after reading and rereading that page, I still don’t know who the killer is, guess I’ll have to finish the book to figure it out…..I’m such a nerd o_0.

{!!!!!!!!!!!!!}

In other more girly-who-gives-a-fuck news.. I wore really bright lipstick the whole day? I think I’ll make that the new thing that I do…lol..maybe?

 

P.S. if anyone is wondering why I am reading about Indians it is because the novel Indian Killer was assigned for my English class but it is a serious page turner, otherwise I wouldn’t buy two other books by that author, huh?   fuckshitfuckshitfuck fuckshitfufjdffdfdffdfffdfdfdffdfdfdfdfdfdfdffdfdfdfdfdffffffffffdfdfdfdfdfdfdfdfdfdfdfdfdfdfdfckshit  P.P.S. The quality of these pictures is horrible because they were all taken with my crappy blackberry camera. My old camera broke a few weeks ago and I am left in DESPERATE need of a new one!

Midterm Madness

College can prove to be stressful at times- and right now is definitely one of those times!

It is 2:45 in the morning and all day I have been sitting in the same place as I am right now- in my kitchen + food obviously at a close proximity! With a speech presentation on sexual harassment in the work place due tomorrow in one class + a quiz in another class, a midterm in history on wed………I am stressed out : |. Tomorrow is going to be one hectic day starting with a speech, then studying on my break for history, then quiz in English, then going to the city to the Sherman Alexie (author of Indian Killer) book signing, and finally back to Brooklyn for some more fun and excitement with my history study sheet :D. Ugh I can’t wait for it to be weekend again<3 Oh how I love weekends.

Love love love 

P.S. 2 cups of coffee + three cups of tea + a sugarfree redbull = can’t be too healthy now can it?

One of my favorite blogs, and part of the reason I even made a blog is these two. I love them. Kind of my idols on what love and what marriage should be like:) Reading through this blog made me tear up on several occasions, as cheesy as that sounds but this is my favorite blog. They are so cute and creative and I just can't get enough of them.

Happy Birthday Best Friend

Yesterday was my best friend Irina’s 19^th birthday.

This post is dedicated to her in all her birthday glory.

I love this girl, she is a true friend who I can only hope to never lose<3

Irina – you’re smart, beautiful, funny, a total bitch and most days on the verge of losing it, and most of all you’re loved and appreciated by all of your friends. I don’t know where I’d be without you!

We celebrated her birthday on the 16^th and here are some pictures from a night some of us can hardly recall ;)

Just a Thought.

Beginnings and endings. Is there a difference between the two?

When it comes to things like a book, a movie, an episode or season of your favorite t.v. show…. There’s a definite distinction. There is always a start and finish.

But I’ve been thinking about this all day and in life there are not many beginnings and endings. There is just one of each – birth & death. Everything in between is the story. A relationship might end but it’s also the beginning of new opportunities. The summer has ended – and the new school year began. You might have finished with one chapter of your life but the new one is right there waiting for the end of the preceding chapter.

So if an end is a beginning, and a beginning is an end…. how can the two be different?

I’d like to think that life is a beautiful series of events and emotions.

& even though it’s quite typical to be distraught over the “end”,

we should think of that end as a beginning and hopefully that state of mind can make transitions easier.

…just a thought.

79 days

....Since I last posted.

me as a brilliant blogger = FAIL x 79 days.

Not that anyone's life depends on it.
Not that I didn't want to.
Not that I didn't have the time.
Not that I don't have anything to write about.

My blog-abandonment can be compared to that of a ritual.
You know when you have a ritual of some sort and you break it.
And once you break it you just can't go back to it for some weird psychological reason....

Well that's kind of what it was like when I stopped posting...
I came back from Spain a week earlier than I was supposed to (due to an unbearable amount of homesick-ness) and just stopped writing....

For the past few months I've still been reading my usual blogs (more about those later) and every day I think to myself "OKKKK! tomorrow is the day I will post" - and it never is. Well today - at 3 o'clock in the morning - I am finally posting!

This is kind of a welcome back post for myself, just to get myself back in the blogging spirit, because even if my life isn't more or less exciting than the next person's - I want to share ... I'm sure (for what ever reason it may be) someone out there will want to read about it.
