It's so hard to think about studying for finals when CHRISTMAS IS COMING! Boo.

I miss The Office. But Gossip Girl is on tonight. I think. That show is mildly addicting...and by mildly, I mean very, and I really like it, but we can pretend I didn't say that.

Anyway, here are some songs! Michael Buble sings Christmas songs very well, I kind of love them. And the rest are just good songs that I've listened to a lot lately. :)
Let It Snow - Michael Buble
White Christmas - Michael Buble
1973 - James Blunt
Love Song - Sara Bareilles
Night Shift...Stir It Up - OAR
Angel Town - Peter Cincotti
The General - Dispatch

Know what's weird? How doctor's offices are called "pratices." THEY'RE "PRACTICING" on us! So if practice makes perfect...will they eventually begin to call them "perfects?" Because then Addison would have to change her show to Private Perfect, and that just doesn't have the same ring to it.

I want to watch Christmas movies. Sigh.

So...I graduated high school! It's a very weird feeling. Especially because my best friend is younger than me, so he's still in school, and I have to wait until 2 to hang out with him and I feel like I'm being sneaky by not going to school with him. Except I'm NOT being sneaky, I just don't need to go anymore. Ahh.

Since I mentioned Mika, here are some of his songs:
Big Girl (You Are Beautiful) - this song is just funny and cute and bouncy. It makes me so happy.
Grace Kelly - this song is also a happy song. Most Mika songs are quite happy.
Lollipop - this is the first Mika song I ever heard. It's quite ridiculous, but it's also really fun.
Stuck In The Middle - this one has some nice piano, and it's happy yet again.
Love Today - I'm pretty sure this is used in MTV shows, because I totally heard it on the Hills or something a while ago...

ALSO! This song is AMAZING, please download it:
Everything - Michael Buble. It's adorable and cute and perfect. Listen listen listen.

I never know what to say here anymore, but I like to post pictures. I'm sorry!

( Senior Week and Graduation )

spud14: does it seem like
spud14: it's all been like...a long day?
spud14: since like...2003?

I'm DONE with high school in one week. It's kind of weird to think about.



( Pictures from the last month or so )

I have final projects due tomorrow that I haven't really done anything for, and school starts in 7 hours sooo...yeah. I'm going to abandon LJ right now, but what else is new?

P.S. Do any of you listen to Mika? He makes me happy.

I saw RENT yesterday. It was amazing. Our Roger was British, and his accent made all of his solos sound so much better. And our Mark was brunette, which was weird, but he was good so it was okay. The only person who wasn't really good was Angel, but he was a wicked good dancer so it made up for his voice.

Thatisall!

So I've received three pokes...because, weird, I haven't updated for six weeks? Or so this email I got tells me. It doesn't seem like it's been that long. I'm sorry. I really do love you all, I DO!

I've just been very very very busy.

And this year is very expensive! Not even counting college costs that are coming up, I need $150 for senior week, $140 for a random field trip to NYC, $60 to go see RENT (yay! this Saturday!), $350 for a plane ticket to Puerto Rico (sooo expensive, boo), and then prom stuff. I don't even want to go to prom that much, but Jason wants to, so I'm going to go with him...but it'll cost a lot. I need a dress.

Umm now that I've complained a little bit? There's this cute little website my brother showed me. It's about MUFFINS. So take a look my friends: MuffinFilms. Some of them are just weird, but I like them...

So I don't really know what to talk about. I don't even know if anyone will read this. But, HIIII. I miss LJ...vacation is next week, perhaps I'll be able to get back into it. ♥

Oh, life. How I love you. Even if I am impossibly tired.

( Meme meme meme )

I love awkward!Pam on The Office. She's so cute.

I'm craving RENT songs. Anyone want to upload one...or a few...or a lot? I only have Out Tonight, La Vie Boheme, and Light My Candle on my computer. :(

Jason, Colleen, and I decided to be best friends, and we've been together every day all week. We went to the beach on Thursday, but it was raining. We went on Friday, and it was cold, but we stayed for a long time anyway. It makes you feel alive.

Regina Spektor is so so awesome.

High School Musical is so so cheesy.

Also, ( a meme I stole )

Okay, I love The Office with every fiber of my being, but...Back From Vacation is the worst title for an episode. Ever.

At least it was a really, really good episode to make up for the horrible title.

( Random pictures from the last...month )

School seems like such a joke lately. Which is not good, since finals are in like, two weeks. Heh.

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas! Mine was pretty good. My favorite things were probably Apples To Apples (best game ever!) and a really cool rainbow hat. It's the first time in a while I haven't gotten something technological, so I didn't have anything to play around with all day, but whatever.

My brother got wicked sick on Christmas Eve and passed his filthy germs onto my dad and I, resulting in us puking our brains out allll of today. On the bright side, though, I got to read the new Princess Diaries book while stuck in bed. It was awesome, as usual. Those books make me so happy! Even though this particular one was actually...really sad.

distruggo and I went to Boston yesterday for no real reason. We basically went there, got Chocolixirs at the Godiva store in Copley Place, went shopping, and then came back. I sat next to a stripper on the T!!! There was this really annoying girl and she started asking the girl I was sitting next to all these questions, and they got to the subject of working on Christmas. The girl who was next to me was like, "Oh yeah, I worked last night and made 300 bucks." Annoying Girl was all, "Whoa, where do you work?" And the other girl was all, "Have you ever heard of a place called the Glass Slipper?" Annoying Girl: "Isn't that a strip club?" *nod* "...You're a stripper?" *nod* It was awesome.

It seems so unnatural to have to go to school tomorrow. I mean, it's December 22nd and we have to LEARN. Seriously, my calculus teacher started teaching us integration today.

The Bell Jar is a pretty amazing book. You should all read it, like, now. It goes from completely normal to a "what the fuck?" kind of thing, and it'll make you uncomfortable at times, but it's so interesting and well-written. Sylvia Plath was kind of weird. But I guess anyone who sticks their head in an oven is at least a little bit odd.

All my friends are hearing from colleges and I just finished sending my stuff out! I should have applied early, but I didn't, and now it's agonizing.

This song is good. Rebellion (Lies) by The Arcade Fire. Download it!

I think I'm going to ask my mommy to get me some books for Christmas...any suggestions?

I'm also SO TIRED lately. Holiday break, where aaaare yoooou?

1. My internet was fixed today! By a friendly, anti-MySpace guy, no less. He was...interesting.

2. Hot chocolate must have been invented by the gods.

3. "I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas" is the best song ever.

4. Adrienne and I are chopping our hair off in a few weeks. I can't wait.

5. Life is fabulous, despite (or maybe because of?) my lack of internet lately.

6. The OC made me happier than The Office last Thursday. I...won't even discuss it any further. I'm just hoping there's a new Office this week that can redeem itself. TELL ME IT'S NEW THIS WEEK!

The lovely aeroplane POKED me! So I guess I could update. I'm at the library with trranced doing college stuff. My internet still doesn't work very well. Like, ever. So...sorry about that.

I'm pretty excited for The Office on Thursday.

I'm even more excited for the weekend, because I'm arleady dead and it's only Tuesday. Boo!

I missed ihatebreakfast's birthday. I'm sorry, love. HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY, MARY!

Tonight, Adrienne, Crystal, Katie, Liz, and I went Christmas shopping! It was awesome. I love Christmas. Even though Thanksgiving hasn't even come yet. Katie and I got The Cookie Sutra for Adrienne. It's so cute! I want some Christmas carols. Someone should send me some.

My internet has been wonky all week, so I haven't been able to go online the little time I actually have at home. It sucks. But! It seems to be working now, yay.

This week were the One-Act plays at our school. ( We had a lot of free time backstage ). Okay, I lied, that wasn't all backstage. Mwahaha.

Okay, it's like 11:30 and I have two tests tomorrow so BYE! I think I'll watch The Office and obsess over how Jim broke Pam's heart like 6 times this week. Yay!

I was in a really bad mood today, so distruggo brought peppermint hot chocolate to tech crew for me! And then we danced in the hall in our socks with Colleen. It made me happy. She kinda rocks.

Adrienne, Crystal, Tim, Mark, and I went to a benefit dinner, silent auction, and poker tournament on Saturday. Guess what we got in the silent auction? All-you-can-eat wings at HOOTERS for ten people! We also got a signed soccer ball for Katie, but that's not as exciting. And we played Spoons. I love Spoons.

Since everyone else has begun to do this...do you guys want Christmas/holiday cards? If you do, comment with your address (even if I had it before, because my computer has crashed in the past year and lost all of them in the process) and I'll send them your way!

I'm avoiding stuff.

DUDE. I just realized it's November. It's November eleventh. I love October. Where did it go? I love November, too, though, so it's okay, I guess. The weather is pretty much amazing. You can wear a peacoat or a sweatshirt and it doesn't even matter, because your nose still goes numb and you still want a peppermint hot chocolate no matter what.

This is quite possibly the best thing ever. Well, not ever. But it made me happy.

I've been kind of sitting here with my fingers on the keyboard, not moving, for a few minutes. That means I should stop trying to make an entry.

So.

Friday I went to Boston with Emily (distruggo). We went to the Cheesecake Factory and shopped and then saw Death Cab for Cutie at the Opera House. Ted Leo and the Pharmacists opened for them, and they were really good. During their whole set, Ben Gibbard was standing off to the side of the stage singing along and generally being adorable. Death Cab was amazing, of course. They opened with Passenger Seat, which was weird, but made me happy since they didn't even sing it last year when we saw them. They played Company Calls AND Company Calls Epilogue, which was basically the greatest thing ever. And, yeah. So good.

Saturday, Emily woke me up WICKED EARLY. But it was okay, because we went to New Hampshire to see her friend at UNH and that was fun. Except I was really, really, really tired of driving by the time we got home.

The Office season two makes me miss Jim in Scranton. COME BACK, JIM! But do bring Andy and Karen with you. Because Andy is awesome. "TUNA! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!"

OH MY GOD! Claire sent me the cutest little cow in the mail. Ahhh. I love it! I am going to go cuddle with it (avoisiner, now I can make good on that comment!) and watch Arrested Development. Squee!

I French-braided my hair and it was cute and it made me happy. The torrential rain and wind ruined it, but that's okay. I went over Adrienne's tonight and we watched Elf and looked at pictures and played with her new iPod.

Anyway, here are some pictures from different stuff:
( Hawaii: never before seen (by me)! )

( Adrienne and Marc's birthdays (complete with Hooters girls) )

( Random )

So so many pictures. And that's not even with the homecoming skits.
