The newest memeber

I know I said before that my mother just got a pet rat. She is the cutest little thing in the whole word. However last night, she was the worst thing to ever come into my bed room.

She has been bunking in my room for the past week because the cats keep trying to knock down her cage. This weekend my dad is fixing her stand, which means no more rat in my room. I am all for cute furry creatures but this is just no fun at all. She gets up on top of her wooden house and scratches at the mesh on the top of her cage. Yeah. NO sleep for me last night.

Etsy

I cannot believe I did not say anything about this before. I plan to come out with a cute line of dog toys for Etsy. Just cute handmade toys for your furry friend.

I am pretty excited about it. I might need to buy a little sewing machine, but I am totally okay with that.

After I finish up most of my Art House stuff I will get right on working up sketches to post here. Feel free to give me ideas about what I should do. I know what I will use for the toys. However I am not really sure about the shapes or the filling. D.I.Y, recycling and helping animals. Hell yes. I might even donate some of the money to the Animal shelter. 

G Force

Cute. Cute movie.

Tiberius is sitting in a hammock full of timothy hay. Pretty sure that is Guinea Pig heaven. He is going to get so fat from sitting in there. Last night I came in and he was asleep next to the hammock, probably a food coma.

I wish I had a better camera. I would be taking a million pictures of him. No joke. And lucky, Anthony will be letting me borrow his camera (if he can find it). I need to to take pictures for the Art House, but I will use to for cute animal pictures as well.

My mother bought a rat.
Her name is Bella. Not really sure why, but when we both say her that was the name that came to mind. Her name is Bella, but she will most likely always be called Bell. Mostly because my mother and I hate Twilight. Lol. She is pretty cute, I like her a lot. My mom has been looking at websites and blogs and all kinds of places learning a lot of new stuff. Which is fun and really interesting.



On a side note. Is anyone else completely in love with Somethings Hiding In Here's Flicker? I love the blog, but all of these pictures that you do not get a chance to see are amazing. Love it.

Pregnancy Pact

I am watching this movie on life time, and it just makes me so sad. It's about girls getting pregnant just to get pregnant. High school girls.

The sad fact of the matter is this is based on a true story.
This group of girls (I believe after that damn Juno movie came out, but I may be wrong) wanted to have babies just so the babies could all be friends and live in the same town. Honestly, they are destroying the lives of the boys they had sex with. As well as their own. Just because I boy says "I Love You" after a few days does not mean you need to trap him. And trapping is what they did.

These boys want to go have lives. They want to finish high school. True, they did not need to have sex and get this girl pregnant. However they did not know that they were being pulled into this web pact.

I can not even think right. This is mind blowing.

Donut Whole.

Went to the Donut Whole Sunday with my mom and dad to get a dozen doughnuts. They are STILL yummy. I have half of a creamy orange and half of a triple chocolate one. They are just so good. They are a little hard on the ends were they were cut in half, but the rest is still moist. If it was not for the fact that I am lazy I could be drinking coffee in my amazing Goodwill mug.

I keep wanting to do that 10 Things I Love, things. But I can not think of ten things I really love. I love my boyfriend, but I do not think that ones counts. I love all of my pets. I am not really sure what else I love. But I do know that there are things I love... or like.

I like rainy days, I like to get lost in a book (even if it does take a little while for that to happen), I like getting a good grade on a test I studied hard for, I like to watch the news, I like chocolate oranges, veggies, the color green, and most shades or blue. I like fashion, boots and screen print t shirts. I like horror movies and the way the popcorn smells. I like the drive in, the smell of spring air and how wide the Kansas sky looks. I like the stars out in the country, the way the lake looks in the morning from a tent and playing cards all night long by candle light. I like going to the mall even if I don't buy anything, the sweetness of the pretzel places and people watching. I love cameras, taking pictures and flipping through old photos. Hmmm..


The thing should be about ten things I like. That list was way easier. Ha. Ha.

Life

I do wish that Oprah Winfrey's voice did not bother me.

I am watching Life right now, and also having my dvr record it. I love shows like this, it makes me thinking about the world, which oddly is something I love to do. It makes me feel small, which makes me less worried about my own life. The shots in it are stunning.

The fact that they can get those close ups from so far away. Or the action the capture on screen.
Like getting to watch a pebble toad roll down the side of a cliff? Without tv and the people behind these movies I would never have gotten to see this.

I just wish I liked her voice, because it is very very annoying to me.

RIP Myspace

I deleted my MySpace. I thought it was going to be a little sad at first, but no. I laughed at myself afterward for thinking I was going to have a hard time doing it.

I had to do it though. Someone tried to hack my Facebook at six in the morning yesterday from some phone. I know that there was no way this could be me because I very much asleep at six in the morning yesterday. My password had to be changed. I have been using new e-mails for stuff lately. My MySpace was hacked ones before, a few years ago.

There is a lot of danger in having so many windows to you. It makes me very very nervous.
I know, why would someone want to steal my identity / social networking info. Because they are bored and what to screw with me aka someone they have very met.
Makes me sick to think that id theft is such a big market. You know that it is wrong to steal someones wallet or purse, but it is not wrong for you to take their face? Their name?

"Because it is my name! Because I cannot have another in my life! Because I lie and sign myself to lies! Because I am not worth the dust on the feet of them that hang! How may I live without my name? I have given you my soul; leave me my name!" - John Proctor. (The Crucible)

6. The Space between us is small

Last night was the odd.

Me and Anthony got into a fight ish thing about life. He made a comment about not wanting to get engaged because we are going to different places for college. Which might not even be true. A lot has happened and neither of us know were we are going.

A lot of crying and sniffles later we were just talking. He told me he does want a family, and he wants it to be right. He wants us to be older and with jobs and  in place with good school. It was the sweetest thing I have ever heard from anyone. That alone made me want to cry more and more and more. I love him. And that fact that we were talking about maybe not being together anymore made me sick.

I know what you're thinking too. You are eighteen and you do not know what you're talking about. I have been with Anthony since our freshmen year. We broke up a few times and dated other people, but we never stopped being best friends. As of Friday the 19th we will have been together for eighteen months straight, but still on and off since freshmen year. Eighteen months is a long time, I know adults who are together less than that long. I do love him.

I'm smiling. Eeep.

After I got off the phone I finished my newest piece for the Art House. "The space between us is small" is the item. I do not know if I like it yet. But it does look really good, just not sure if it works with the theme. I still like it. =)

Tell me what you think?
Don't ya just love my crappy camera? Haha

=)

I am pretty happy with myself.


I just started a food journal. And I am really determined to keep up with it. I like to think I am healthy, but I have always wondered what I eat during the day. I can find out if I am eating a normal amount of calories. Not to mention having to right it does makes me take notice of the time I last ate something.

I might get really in depth too. I am debating adding when I wake up, random naps, working out, how much sleep I get. I know, crazy? Right?

Just seems weird to think about. Writing down all that stuff? I am a junk food junky health nut, who sleeps more than anyone she knows. I want to get a grip on my life. I am eighteen and I do not want to think that I will have this body forever. I know. I should be happy with my body right now, but I am very curious about my eating habits.

Big brother

Watching a show about how people can steal your phone records and how Google is archiving EVERYTHING our IP addresses have searched was the worst thing I have ever done.

While I was sitting on my bed watching this show I very tempted to get online and delete my myspace, facebook, twitter and -tear- my blog. I love being able to write about anything that comes to mind but now I am wondering about it. Is there someone out there creating a 'person' based off of me? Based on the random things I search and my phone records. If they can get my records can they get my texts?

The Mexico American boarder has been using finger prints and even photo analyzing technology to book people. I do not think I will ever be able to look at a camera ever again. That is not just paranoia either. At a recent super bowl the camera were rigged with this analyzer and look picture of EVERYONE there. Creepy.

Just thinking about it gives me the creeps.

And the Google thing is no joke either. They do not delete anything. Gmail, keeps everything even when you delete it, it's still somewhere.


Bum Bum Buuum

Hookah

Yesterday was odd.

I went out to eat with a friend of mine, and a friend of hers, and then a friend of that friend. Emily, who was the friend of my friends friend was a bitch but she was stunning. It was just four girls at diner, no boys. I had no idea why she was so dolled up. I did however want to steal her bright orange chucks.

Diner was fun though. I felt like a cow when I was done with my food, there was just sooo much. And I ate it all.


After diner me and Jess, my friend, when to the hookah bar. I am eighteen so it would not have been a problem to get in, but I have I never smoked hookah before. And my friend had only been once and was not sure how to 'order' it, well I obviously did not know either. So we bailed to go smoke in some guy basement.

I have not talked to this kid in probably three years, it was weird.

I ended up not smoking because I think it is insanely gross to suck off the same pipe thingie as someone else. I do not share a cigarette on the blue moon that I do smoke. Just eww. It bothered me to think about. Just hanging out what a lot of fun though. I wish I had more days like that. Were I have fun with no worries about anything.

Zebra

Went to Deb Stores at the mall this morning with my mother. We looked at a few dressed but I found the perfect one. I was not too excited about going to prom but when I put on this dress I felt like a movie star. I tried on a few other ones after but the whole time I was thinking about the other one. I reassured Anthony that he did not need a bright tie( Last year I had a green dress, and he got a green tie). I told him to get a white tie, or even a red one if he wanted. I am hoping for white, so that it looks crisp, because all of my stuff is going to be black and white so it does not take away from the dress. Well, I guess I can not say that about the shoes.

Our theme is jungle, so I got the shoes that I was a little with the theme and I want to wear the graduation too. I'll get a cute white dress to under my kelly green grad gown.

EEEK. I am excited for prom now.

Blogging

While pouring over the many blogs I follow I came across a link for http://www.socialarchivist.com/. As I look about all things said about our digital memories vs our physical memories, I wonder if we have lost the connection with physical things. Things such as photo albums, printing photographs, scrap books, letters, notes, general random trinkets.

I have looked at the Print to Blog (or whatever) thing a few times and have wondered if I would ever get my blog printed. If I ever start typing things worth while I might. I like to look back at what I have had to say but I am not sure if it is worth getting bound. If in a few years I am still updating this blog I will get it printing. I would love to look back and know what I was doing and thinking in 2010. Being able to flip to a page and remember something random, or see the little pictures of jackets I wanted.

Speaking of which. I love the site Weardrobe.com and might make an account on their. However I do not think I wear good enough stuff. Not that what is in my closet is bad, I am just to afraid to make some of the combination I would like to make. If I got brave enough to join the site I would of course add the photos to this blog, which would be amazing to look back at if I printed it.

3.11.10

So I am debating if I want to buy one of these cardigans. I know I want that green jacket but I think a cardigan would be much better. It's spring so I'll need a lighter jacket than my Hounds tooth and the green one.

But I do not just want to buy it. I sort of want to tie dye it. Yeah. I think a tie dyed cardigan could be amazing. I like the sleeveless one more than the other one, but the whole lack of sleeves will bother me. Not to mentions it is 17.99 and the other is 10.99

I cannot wait til I get my tax check and a job. I want to go shopping.

3.10.10

Just got done watching the Devil Wears Prada. I cannot express how much I love that movie. It makes me want to sell all of the clothes and get new more amazing stuff. OR rework my whole entire wardrobe.

Dear Target,
I love you so. I also love this green double breasted trench. I know that his stunning soft green trench is only 39.99 but I cannot bring myself to by yet another hoodless jacket.

I could use a seek new jacket but my houndstooth one is okay. -sigh- But maybe I will by you anyway. And buy an adorable hat to join you in my closet. Hmm. That could work. I want a floppy hat. I adore floppy hats. I have never bought one but I think they are so cute.

Unfortunately Target is out of stock on this cute hat. Not sure if they would go good together but I like the idea.

The thrift store down town most likely had AMAZING hats and I will just have to go look at them when I get the chance. I suppose I could find a new jacket down their too. I love thrift store shopping, but I never find stuff in my size. Which would not be a problem if I had a sewing machine.

Maybe when I move out I'll get one.
I'd save a ton on clothes if I had a sewing machine.

Flatbellies

So, I started my paper last night for the book we're reading. I started it wrong. I was suppose to write it about a trait of one of the characters. I just thought it was suppose to be over just a character.

I have the intro, and two body paragraphs done. So now I get to try to re work it. All I need is one body paragraph and the conclusion and it's due tomorrow. Which means when I get back form hanging out with Anthony I get to work on my paper. Yay. I might even save it to my jump drive so I can work on it there. What a great girlfriend I am, I plan to work on my paper while I am at my boyfriends house. Pretty sad.

Speaking of school. I feel pretty much terrible right now. I just got done putting a few calculations on to my calculator. I know, isn't that what it is for? Anthony says it is cheating to put a few chem notes onto my calculator. I might not even need it for the quiz, so it can not be that bad. Plus, it is what my calculator is for, it is a tool to help me. Right?

3.7.10

I am truly in love with this dress from www.modcloth.com. Not sure what it is about the dress but I love how it is basically a tux.

Too bad I want a long dress from prom or I would be all over this dress. Anthony might think it is a little off if we match this much.


Not much else to say, I'm looking around for inspiration for my next painting. I was thinking "just a minute, just a second" ooor "The space between us is small". I have a few ideas, but nothing drawn up yet.

5. Soical Networking

I know. I just updated. And this one is just about as pointless as the last one. I got to work on another one of my art projects. Not done with it yet but I am really in love with his one. This picture was taken with my cellphone so I know it is not the best ever.

It needs a background and I need to know what to do with the cord in it. Should I just have it come off the side? I was thinking maybe having it plugged into a phone (which I suck at drawing). Maybe plugged into another computer? I am really not sure what to do with it.

What do you think?

________________________
I almost put up a new painting on Etsy. I painted it about two years ago. Maybe even longer ago. I know it was at least two Christmases ago, may have been the first Christmas at the new house. Weird. I love the painting. The hair could be much much better but I still love this painting. Every Punky - Emo girl. I just love it, a lot. It might have been based on a photo but right now I have no clue.

Pretty cheap online. Buy it. I bet you know someone that would love it.

Shopping for Ty

I have seven windows up. One is this blog and the other six are sites about guinea pig stuff.

Right now we have Tiberius Badger in an old aquarium. It is thirty by twelve. Which is sadly only two and a half square foot. And the one were are going to get him from PetCo is forty by twenty one, which wire sides. This new cage is about six square feet. A few sites I have looked at say that the best size is seven and a half.

I also have no clue what kind of bedding I should use. I have been using old newspapers and letters, just your basic junk mail. The guinea pigs people of the world wide web are split down the middle. "No, they'll eat the paper and ink and will get sick" "Yes, they just might get a little inky" "No" "Yes, it is perfectly safe" Even the PetCo people told me it was fine. So I pick that one, because it is cheaper and I am helping recycle -ish.

There is just so much I do not know. I thought I did a lot of research before I got him, and I thought the many smaller babies I have had would help. Crazy.

We're getting him his new cages this weekend or next. When I get my tax check (after I take Anthony out) I am getting Ty a ball. They are HUGE. I am pretty excited about it.
I haven't had the time, or camera to take any pictures of Ty. I need to, maybe when the weather gets better I will take him outside and let him run around in the grass. Which is good for them, I just have to make sure that he does not get a sunburn or eaten by the owl that lives near my house. That would suck, a lot.

Don Juan

Sadie is doing great. She is asleep on my bed as we speak and just looks so cute. Her paw is swollen; the vet thinks he might have wrapped it too tight. My mother and I agree that that means we should not have to pay. Which is more than logical? Right? He could have hurt her more than she is already hurt.
Tiberius Badger does not like me. I swear. I know I have said that every day since I got him but I feel like it is true.

Got one of my English papers back today. She gave me a sixty five on it. Which I expected after she said that almost everyone missed the mark on what we were supposed to be doing, there was maybe one A. So I sort of figured that she might take it easy on us and gives a curved grade. Nope. I get to rewrite it. I am about to start it, I revised it while I was in class.

One sad example more, that “All is Vanity” (The jury brought their verdict in “Insanity”)

We were reading Don Juan. I must go out and buy it, and read it all now. I was in love.

You Octopi my Thoughts

I would say were I got it, but I really do not know, my friend showed it to me.

Right now I am working on drawing up some 'Octopi' for her right now. I guess her and her boyfriend guy crush bed buddy co-worker dude thing have some inside joke about 'octopi'. Which I think is cute. I do however wonder if that is the legitimate term for more than one octopus. It sounds like it should be. And they should not be odd balls who do not have a term for more than one. Octopus/Octopi are amazing. Cuddle Fish are too. I LOVE cuddle fish.

I am not even joking. We went to a OK city and I was freaking out about amazing these little dudes were. I moved them in Bio and I loved them in real life. Now if only I could get one as a pet. I suppose I need a LARGE salt water tank, random habitat stuff and whatever it is cuddle fish eat.

That would rock.
_____________________________________________________

I am pretty sure that Tiberius does not like me. He is really jumpy but then again has only been her about a week. I hope he lightens up. =)

Sadie is better

I do not have a lot of time before I have to leave for school, but I wanted to post about our puppy. She is doing a million times better. Aside from an infection in her leg (which is why it is wrapped) she is doing so much better. Since she is a puppy and is really skinny all she wants to do is sleep and eat. But he can only feed her so much a day, which is not making our other dog happy because we have to put up his food too.

She slept in my room for about an hour. But then woke me up cause she was thirsty. Which was fun. For some reason she will not drink plan water, we have to put a little food in it. Even if it's 3 little bits of food in a big bowl of water. She'll drink the whole bowl then eat the food. It is weird. But she is cut so I will do it for her.

Mom says she likes me more than everyone else. I think it is only because she likes to be in my room. It is always a few degrees cooler and always way more quiet in here than the whole house. I hope I am not her favorite, I can not give her to my grandma I already love her too much.
