"You know when somebody gets a new car and they're so worried about that first scratch but after that everything's fine? Well, everything to me in life is like the second scratch."

-Garrett Hedlund

Infatuated.

Day trip to Duluth:

Call me crazy but I prefer snow to sand.

Repetitive.

I don't understand it,

I thought I always would.

& I know that I need it.

[I feel I may have posted this song before. I'm not completely sure, so I am going to apologize just incase. Sorry.]

Chipper.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

I hope your coming days are filled with lots of hugs, smiles, cookies & joy.

Indescribable.

Yesterday I woke up to this...

And this morning I woke up to this...

I am so happy to be home. All this snow seems to be a pest for everyone here but for me it is such a slight for sore eyes.

I'm in love.

Dorky.

Anybody watch America's Next Top Model?

Do you know who this is?

[I do, but only thanks to the Oxygen channel]

Nicole Linkletter: Winner of Cycle 5

Well, today when I was waiting in line to buy back my textbooks in the bookstore,

I SAW HER!

She was ahead of me in line.

At first I thought it couldn't be her, just someone who looks similar. But then I got another good look and I was almost positive it was her.

So of course as soon as I got back to my room I googled to see if she goes to CSUN, and she does!

California is cool.

Down-home.

I've always been pretty tolerant with country music but I didn't realize how much I actually like it until I saw this trailer.

I'm excited about this one.

This guy's voice melts my heart like butter on a hot skillet.

Eager.

After being blessed as a daughter of Helios, I'm ready to feel Chione's welcoming embrace.

Euphonious.

Pleased.

This is Caroline [again].

She is such an angel and agreed to let me photograph her for part of my final assignment.

Well we almost got rained out, but thankfully it quit right as we we met up.

She's a natural.

Thanks Caroline! :)

Oh and this little guy came to help with the shoot...

Bare.

Music is all I have to offer at the moment.

Enjoy :)

Cozy.

This gives me the warm fuzzies.

[Cannonball into the water]

Shocked.

16 days.

Auspicious.

Innovative.

"I don't know which will come first - rock 'n' roll or Christianity."

"Yeah we all shine on, like the moon, and the stars, and the sun."

"Time you enjoy wasting, was not wasted."

"Reality leaves a lot to the imagination."

-John Lennon

Native.

I love powwows.

Oxymoronic.

Isn't it strange how your thoughts sound when you say them out loud?

Tonight I made perfect sense of the crazy things going around in my brain. I just had to say them out loud to someone who would listen.

[Thanks Fogarty]

I have come to the realization that I have never been more confused about my life than I am right now.

I have always prided myself as being this put together person who knew exactly what she wanted out of life. I can't ever remember having any serious doubts or confusion.

Now that is all I am filled with...

Doubts and confusion.

But do you want to know something funny?

I am happiest I have ever been.

That is the one of the few things I am not doubting.

I am happy.

I am content in this state of utter chaos and I find that there is something so beautiful about that.

I don't know what my life is, and I am in love with everything about it.

Awestruck.

I'm a horndog.

Human.

My apologies for the semi-bipolar posting lately...

I am a child of Krishna*

*Hindu god of change

Absolute.

"You are going to be absolutely fine."

-H.H.

Yes I am.

I just needed someone else to tell me.

Thank you.

Ugh...

I wish my hair would grow

I wish I wasn't so easily captivated

I wish I had a dog

I wish his face wasn't blank in my dreams

I wish I knew what I wanted

I wish I wasn't so far away

I wish my macbook wasn't cracked

I wish I had some answers

I wish the sun would stop stalking me

I wish someone would write me a song

I wish it was Decemeber 16th

I wish I would stop pretending I am happy being alone

I wish I liked vegetables more

I wish you won't read this as a sad post

I have an incredibly blessed life & I am grateful

I just wish I could sleep.

Universal.

11/22/2010:

The dynamic planet, Mars, links up with the luckiest planet, Jupiter, in your horoscope today, which means you can achieve great things. Whether what concerns you most right now is making progress at work, or finding a new outlet for your talents, you can see clearly see what direction to go in. You also have the drive to make things happen. Don't hold back.

Aimless.

Everything it seems I like's a little bit sweeter, a little bit fatter, a little bit harmful for me.

[Diet coke, postcards, chinese food & Christmas trees]

So please be kind if I'm a mess.

Nerdier.

Today was another museum day.

The LA County Museum to be specific.

A combination of classic and contemporary art.

It's a place of wonder.

This took my breath away...

Cupid playing with a butterfly, 1802

Antoine-Denis Chaudet

Gorgeous.

Nerdy.

Elephants, sparkly gems, and dinosaur bones.

The Museum of Natural History is a good time.

Surviving.

Leave all your love and your longing behind,

you can't carry it with you if you want to survive.

[I'm nobody's baby]

Cheerful sadness.

If I were to pick one song to describe myself at this very moment; this would be it...

Forward.

"I must thoroughly realize I know nothing at all; it is the only way to get ahead."

-Edgar Degas

Jolly.

All the stores are setting out decorations and playing carols, so I think this is the perfect time to establish my Christmas list...

Wrist warmers

{real mittens aren't necessary during a west coast winter}

Fur scarf

{faux of course}

Black zip wedges

{drool}

But what I would like most is to be back in Minnesota and enjoy the holiday with my family.

One month and 2 days!

;)

New crush.

Yum.

Celebratory.

My little sister turned 9 today...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY...you little weirdo!

I LOVE YOU!

:)

Taken away.

If you haven't seen The Young Victoria, go rent it.

You will not be wasting your time.

Everything about it is amazing.

The story, the costumes, the acting {Emily Blunt & Rupert Friend}, and this song.

Never has a piece of music ever moved me as much as this one does.

{It gets really good around 1:50}

Turn your volume up as high as it can go and close your eyes.

It's pure magic.

Overwhelmed.

I bought photoshop today [finally].

So naturally I've spent the last 3 hours playing with it.

I'm a little off my game since I haven't used the program for several months, but I like the way this one turned out...

Before:

After:

If any of you have suggestions for cool actions or templates, let me know!

Thanks :)
