be careful, his bow-tie is really a camera

(Lent)

I play Farmville. I know, dorky. Trust me, I know.

(you have no idea how nice it is to admit that,

 is was like a secret pounding to be told unless I felt as if I were lying)

 But honestly, once you start to play it isn't as lame as everyone says it is. Then you get to the point where you set your schedule around when your squash will be done
(because Farmville doesn't squeeze into your schedule, your schedule is worked around it).
So I'm giving it up. For good. And I think I may cut down on my Facebook time. It's getting pretty pathetic how often I find myself on it when I should be doing homework.
 And maybe online shopping too...

(Hair)

I dyed my hair.

I know, my beautiful red hair is no longer the same... 

but I kept it in the hue family, and went a few shades darker.

 I'm now a dark auburn.

It was done 2 hours ago & it's currently in the 

"intense/this color came from a box" stage.

So no pictures as of now...

(Home)

I'm home for this weekend and it's so nice to have my dad home from Ohio,

and it's especially nice to be playing with all 

my cute nieces and one adorable nephew.

Not looking forward to leaving the family, my bed, and Cobi behind

to cold, snowy Logan. 

You wouldn't believe the amount of times I've done 

ritual chants in my dorm room praying to the Sun Gods.

(Olympics)

I haven't seen much, but what I have seen, is incredible!

Recently "spotted & hearted" on a blog I adore

they hosted an Olympic party full of 

Olympian food & gold medals.
How festive! And what a magnificent idea that we all should steal.

have a great weekend!

recipe for romance

For it was not into my ear you whispered,

but into my heart.     

          It was not my lips you kissed,

                          but my soul.

                                      -Judy Garland

Although I don't have it this year, I celebrate love.

I do in fact have:

A love of family.

A love of friends.

A love of pets.

A love of shopping.

A love of music.

A love of literature.

A love of a good night's sleep.

This Valentine's day, if I did have a "True Love",

it would consist of 

1 stack of love letters

a fistful of conversation hearts

2 "love" shoes, 1 left, 1 right

2 slices of red velvet heart shaped cake

1 Jedi Hipster

2 1/2 hour hot air balloon trip to top it all off

and Voila! It's good enough for me.

Romance with a hint of magic.

(because clearly I need magic to have a date with Hayden Christensen...)

happy valentines day!

secrets {part I}

Secrets are exuberating. 

The kind you only share with yourself.

(do not tell anyone what I am about to tell you)

I judge others by their spelling and grammar.

I daydream about playing Tetris.

Birds freak me out more than spiders or snakes.

I still believe I can get tan skin although I am a pale redhead.

In my mind I feel twenty-two but physically, I look like I'm fourteen.

I dream of my future but worry about how I'm going to get there.
My deepest most important thoughts take place in the shower.
I'd rather talk to you on the phone then text.
I can't dance.
My shoes are stored in my dresser drawers.
I think Hannah Montana is adorable.
When I sit in the student lounge with my earphones in, 
I'll mute the music and eavesdrop on others around me if they seem interesting.
I feel like school will never end.
I choose clothes over food.
I write letters that I never send.
I miss my family every day.
