yeahhhh!

my bestest friend is getting married. awesome! i love you!!!!

highlights.

this scarf is taking much longer than anticipated. annd, i probably dont have enough yarn. blargh.

i'm watching the king and i, i like deborah kerr a lot. but i was bummed to learn she doesnt sing her own songs....they dubbed over her. lame. oh well.

i'm ready for our movie night tomorrow! yay, i feel like we dont get to hang out at allllll. i cant believe how fast christmas is coming, 4 days from tom. then 2 more after that i get to see sammmmmmmm ohhhh happy day. i miss you lots n' lots.

the melting pot

let's just say calling it overpriced is an understatement, but it was really good. minus the bizarre cesaer salad even kim didnt like, i really liked everything---i dont understand how someone cant enjoy dipping various items in cheese or chocolate. i also feel like i might throw up--being stuffed as i am, i believe i ate my weight in cheddar fondue and chocolate peanut butter. i didnt realize we'd get to watch them put together the fondue though, that was cool, you got to see what went in it [all the better to help replicate at home]. the dippers were good: breads, veggies [or crudite if you're fancy like that], and apples for the cheese; cheesecake, strawberries, bananas, pound cake, brownie, rice krispies, and cookie crumb-crusted marshmallows. i went to the bathroom and poof! like magic it was all there--fat kid's delight. in fact, i may send them an email recommending that as the new name for that particular dessert. we even got to take the extra home! yeeeeyyyaaahhh! we also had chicken, steak and shrimp with a broth fondue---it had...uh fresh lime and orange juice, garlic, broth, worcestershire sauce maybe and something else. i cant remember. but it was good. we got potatoes, broccoli, and mushrooms to cook too.

overall it was a fun night out. i wish there was one in savannah we could go to for dessert at least, so fun!

i also started a new brad meltzer book, the book of fate. i read his first two and really like his writing style a lot, i didnt ever get to into the third and i believe this one i'm reading now is his latest--dont quote me. anyway i like him immensely. his webpage is interesting------------>

enjoy.

its not as easy as willing it all to be right--gotta be more than hoping its right.

i'm amazed by how much the events of the past few months seem to have...not...fazed you. i guess if it isnt bothering you and you dont care to make any changes then i am free to stop giving a shit.

which would be nice.

kind of need to know though. well, i take that back. i'm sure you'll....let me know.

and until then, freebird baby.

new colors!

my blog looks like a strong cup of coffee. and coffee ice cream. and chocolate covered espresso beans. [by the way its eSpresso, not eXpresso.] and my mocha cheesecake.

and i am officially hungry. oh well i love it!

sara bareilles + matt nathanson

saw them on....the 7th i think. at House of Blues in Orlando. it was really good, i like them both. i had only heard 1 matt nathanson song, car crash, and liked it but i liked everything he sang.

and she was just awesome. its always disappointing to find an artist you really like and realize they are crap live--but she was amazing. she has just a really great, very versatile voice. she also did some interesting covers....genie in a bottle? haha.

i like this matt nathanson [his name is so long its annoying to type] song:

come on get higher

I miss the sound of your voice
And I miss the rush of your skin
And I miss the still of the silence
As you breathe out and I breathe in
If I could walk on water
If I could tell you what's next
I'd make you believe
I'd make you forget
So come on, get higher, loosen my lips
Faith and desire and the swing of your hips
Just pull me down hard
And drown me in love
So come on, get higher, loosen my lips
Faith and desire and the swing of your hips
Just pull me down hard
And drown me in love
I miss the sound of your voice
The loudest thing in my head
And I ache to remember
All the violent, sweet, perfect words that you said
If I could walk on water
If I could tell you what's next
I'd make you believe
I'd make you forget
So come on, get higher, loosen my lips
Faith and desire and the swing of your hips
Just pull me down hard
And drown me in love
So come on, get higher, loosen my lips
Faith and desire and the swing of your hips
Just pull me down hard
And drown me in love
I miss the pull of your heart
I taste the sparks on your tongue
I see angels and devils and God, when you come on
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on
Singin' sha la la la
Singin' sha la la la la
So come on, get higher, loosen my lips
Faith and desire and the swing of your hips
Just pull me down hard
And drown me in love
So come on, get higher, loosen my lips
Faith and desire and the swing of your hips
Just pull me down hard
And drown me, drown me in love
So wrong, So wrong
So wrong, So right
So come on, get higher
So come on and get higher
'Cause everything works, love
Everything works in your arms


i also had no idea he's been around since '93. he's just now getting really popular, in the mainstream anyway.



i like our dates. its lame we have to resort to watching movies together or something on the phone, but its still at least nice to do something together if thats the only way we get to spend really time together--there's only so much you can talk about. but that isnt really a problem since i can ramble about nothing :)

philadelphia.

...is where i am going december 29, 2008. whoop. i'm so excited, i've been to pennsylvania but never as a tourist so to speak. i want to see all the cool things there. oh yeah--and sam. that too. :)

i cant wait to get my movie! oh i am so pumped it isnt even funny. and then it will be christmas and then i will be pacing furiously and then i'll be on a plane all alone for the first time ever [by myself] and i get to hang out with you for a whole week almost before we have to worry about school and i get to finallyyyy meet your family and i am so very nervous about that and this is the longest sentence ever. and then we get to enjoy a glorious 13 hour drive to savannah. that will be interesting, but i'm glad you dont have to do it alone. we'll have fun, yes we will.

the next two weeks need to go by F A S T.....ha that was supposed to look like those cartoons where they slide by and look like they're running buttt i failed miserably. oh well.

anyway they probably will because i have presents to wrap, everyone will be home next week so hopefully i will be a busy bee seeing all my friends i havent seen in a year and then its christmas!! and then i'll be off. so. freaaaaaaaakking. excited.

the only downside is i am 100% absolutely BROKE until january. but i dnt care. i already got people presents and i got some clothes so it doesnt matter, i just cant go out to eat anytime soon. i'd rather be broke and waiting to go to PA than have money and not be able to see you.
