jack johnson

is perfect for rainy days.

i got in my car this morning and "upside down" from the curious george movie was playing and it just fit. that's one of my top two favorite songs from that movie and i suddenly felt really happy. i just wanted to go back home, snuggle on my couch and have jack johnson playing in the background like a movie.

don't you ever want that? have a song play in the background like on tv? like the soundtrack of your life. you'd be walking along, either feeling really good, really depressed, or just thinking about something and then the music comes up. sure you could use and ipod/mp3 player to get that effect but i dunno. that's just what popped in my head this morning when i heard that song and i think it'd be so cool.

so yeah, i got to wear my rainboots today. i still avoid puddles out of habit but when i do step in one, it's so fun! like, "ha! i stepped in a puddle and my feet didn't get wet. take that, puddle." xD i love rainy days like this. it's so nice. such a change and it's REALLY nice. =]

i'm in a good mood. now if my makeup that i ordered would get here already, i'd be in an even better mood.

excitement is dwindling

so i don't think kelly's halloween party is actually going to be on halloween. which sucks in my opinion.

i got all excited that i was actually going to DO something on halloween with a bunch of other people. i honestly can't remember what i did for the past few halloweens besides last year's. so now i don't know what i'm going to do on halloween.

i went to the fabric store with my mom today and got stuff for mine and george's costumes. i don't think they'll be done in time for the party though. and that's why i'm disappointed. they'll be done by halloween but what am i going to do then? if i've got nothing, i'm going out and taking pictures of myself.

another hellacious week, done.

is that a word? hellacious? i'm pretty sure it is. the spelling i'm a bit iffy on, but i think i'm using it the right way.

so yeah. this week i had another 4pg paper and a midterm. and the midterm i totally forgot about until the night before which was the same night i wanted to really work on my paper. well, since the paper wasn't due until the day after the test, i decided to try and study. HAH. i actually don't remember how much i studied. i think i was really tired and kept falling asleep so i just looked over my notes the next morning. i know i didn't do so hot on the test...but maybe i at least passed? god i hope so. yeah, the grades aren't up yet. on my critical thinking midterm i got a 113 out of 150. that's like a solid C, right? alberto? haha.

anyways. so i know what i'm going to be for halloween and i'm excited. and george is going to be matching with me! wee~ how fun! kelly's having a halloween party/bbq at her house...most likely on the 31st. people are voting between that and the 24th but i think it'll be on halloween. YAY =]

today at lunch i'm going to one of those warehouse halloween stores that pop up around this time of year and see if there's anything i can get for our costumes. then after work i'm going to hang out with george! maybe we can watch monsters inc. this time =]

whew.

this week is finally over. well, the school week is over. no friday classes, woo!

anyway. i changed the color of my layout again since the last entry. it's still pink, but last time it was a "minimalist pink" or something like that. white and a standard pretty pink. i felt that was a little too bright and i wanted something that could ease into autumn, so i found this cute sophisticated looking design. i think it's nice.

well, none of my neighbors are updating their blog. *ahem* but eh xD there's only four of us.

i've been watching A LOT of youtube videos lately. mosty ones on hair and makeup and i decided i wanted to start making my own videos. so i created a new account and made a pretty profile page...but haven't made any videos yet xD. mostly because i've been busy the past two weeks with school. i'm going to be busy this week too because i have ANOTHER essay to write. i just finished a five page [crap] essay and now i have to do another. ugh. i hate school.
anyway. yeah, i want to make videos but i don't know what to do. every single makeup look has been done and it has been done 10 times over by so many different girls. sure, adding another one won't hurt, but i want something a little more original. i have noticed that i don't do my eye makeup as dramatic as the videos i've seen. i'm pretty sure the tutorials they do aren't meant for everyday, but even on special occasions, i don't do my makeup the way i've seen in twenty other videos.
hm. maybe that could be the "unique" thing i can start with.

school has been a little stressful the last week. since i put off a paper i basically had about 3 days to do it. it was a bunch of bs and i didn't end up citing anything...which could be a bad thing. i didn't directly quote anything but i'm not very good at citing things. if i absolutely had to, i'd be citing everything.
i had my first midterm today and i didn't study as much as i could have and that cost me 20 points for sure [out of 150]. i'm expecting my score to be between 120 and 130. i know i won't get 130, but it's in that range. i'd be a little sad if i get under 110. between 110 and 120 is still ok i guess.

hopefully i can hang out with george tomorrow and just chill. maybe watch a disney movie or something. too bad there's so mickeyroni. why is there no mickeyroni?! >o<

Pink's concert...

was SO much fun!!! thank you george for letting me drag you along and putting up with it. at least you got to enjoy a couple [non-pink] songs, right? xD

yeah, i don't want to do a whole review since i suck at those, but it was really really cool. the ting tings opened for her and played about 5-6 songs maybe. i knew about 3 of them. they were pretty cool.

pink was amazing. from her entrance to her exit. all her costumes were very pretty or very weird [in a good way]. since she injured herself at the vma's, she couldn't do all her aerial acrobatic stuff she usually does. she had one of her dancers do it for her. but she did do a little bit using the silk at the end for the last song. i thought it was kind of odd to have a slow song to close the show since i'm used to giant numbers to go out with a bang, but she made it work. it was very nice.
singing to all her songs was so fun. she seems like such a chill person. she would talk to us sometimes in between songs and at one point she said, "you want to get a tattoo? sure i'll sign it" and she hopped off the stage and after telling a security to hold her mic xD she signed a girl's arm, hugged and gave her a kiss. i thought that was cool. i wouldn't really want to tattoo an artist's name on myself, but the fact pink went off and did that was nice. if you're reading this, you're either thinking, "oh cool" or "big deal, lots of ppl do that." well i don't know that. this was the first time i've seen it done so i think it's cool.

anyways, yeah i had fun =]

last night i went to disneyland with lauren. she texted me while i was at cvs buying some makeup so i asked after i got home and lauren picked me up 30 mins later. she had never seen fantasmic so i was determined to have her watch it. i had a whole plan on when to get a spot, and it worked. it was to hang out at the other side of the park until 9pm then head over to frontierland/new orleans area. go on pirates and look in the stores until the fireworks ended and after the crowd cleared, grab a spot. if we waited until after fireworks to make our way there, we would've been stuck in the cattle herd to wait for the first group to clear out. so we sat for about 30 minutes talking about random stuff and then the show started. she liked it =]

then i finally bought my blankie!! there's this brown blanket me and george saw almost a year ago and it's super soft. thing is, it's around $35. so after i found out about the birthday fun card, i decided i was going to buy that blanket. and i did! and i'm glad. it's so soft and fluffy and fuzzy and cozy and warm. ^_____________^ perfect for snuggling in winter. i should take a picture of it. i haven't posted a picture on here in a long time.

oh and i just updated my blog's theme. it's pink!

concert on "Us Day"

so, today is me and george's 1 1/2 year anniversary!!! ♥

AND it's the day of PINK'S CONCERT!!! :D

i'm excited, but at the same time, i'm not. i'm usually not super excited for concerts until the music starts and i see the performer. i can wait in line all day then wait in the venue an hour until it starts but it won't hit me until i see the actual performer.
i just hope our potentially bad seats are tolerable. but i keep telling myself we won't be the only ones in that section and ppl behind me might have it worse. so yeah xD

i've been looking forward to her concert ever since i found out she was doing a US tour and was stopping at the staples center. hm, when would that be...i don't remember xD i know it was the beginning of summer. so for a good 3-4 months. EEEEE! :D

george said he's going to bring his fully charged iPhone and play with that xD i don't know what giant stadium shows are like. this is going to be crazy. her performances are amazing. AND SHE ACTUALLY SINGS!!! haha and she sings while she's up in the air doing acrobatics. just watch the vma performance to know what i'm talking about. i don't know why i like pink so much. she's just funny, cool, and not a ditzy girl. anyways. i'll stop rambling. i'll update after the show sometime.

D23 Expo pt. 2

yesterday me and george went to the last day of d23 expo.

we actually got there a little late and missed something big we wanted to see. we wanted to see a panel/presentation of imagineering pixar and disney animation [something close to that] with john lasseter. we got to the arena area like 15 minutes after 11 and it started at 11am. so that sucked. george said we should get in line to wait for the wizards thing since there was already a line forming. the thing started at 2! geez people. anyways. i felt really bad that we missed it so i suggested we go to the other two panels george wanted to see.

one was science of imagineering which was cooler than i thought it'd be and we could've got back in line for wizards after but then we would've missed the second panel we wanted to see. we could've even gotten back our original spot since the lady behind us was nice enough to offer to hold our spots. but we told her it was okay since we were going to something else.
after the science one was imagineering pixar for disney parks and john lasseter was going to be at that one too. that one was in the middle of the wizards thing, but we already missed one lasseter panel so i didn't want to miss another. i was a little bummed that i didn't see the wizards thing but eh, the other panels were pretty cool and i didn't have to deal with a bunch of screaming people.

we were going to watch the toy story double feature presentation but decided not to while waiting for the second panel. george didn't get any sleep again and it was going to end around 11pm, really late for a sunday. so we passed. it's not a big loss, just the two movies in 3D. we can still see it in theatres when it comes out.

anyways, we left after the last panel and went to george's house. first we got el pollo loco though, it was yummy. then we took a nap for a couple hours and then he took me home. i could not sleep. i was doing random stuff until like, 4? around 4am. i thought about staying up all night but i figure i'd try to sleep a little. and i did. since i took my time in the morning, i also found out that i could get to school around 10:30 and there would be some random parking spots starting to open.
i absolutely need to get sleep tonight though. my 9:30am class is absolutely brutal. the teacher is a nice old man but he can put you to sleep! the material is dry and ugh. it's kind of hard to follow. i hope it gets better.
