i have 1 stone and 2 birds to kill.

*you're probably going to learn more about me in this post than you ever wanted to know!

blogger award.

first and foremost i was awarded a blogger award like forevvvvver ago (no lies. i'm so bad at these sorts of things sometimes) and i think its high time i fulfill the requirements!

i was awarded the versatile blogger award.

first of all, thanks jamie of the cp! i love this award. versatile is definitely something i strive to be. and now. for the answers to the questions:

1) why did you create this blog? because i have a lot of thoughts swimming around in this head of mine and i needed an outlet like pronto. i've been on blogger for about 4 years now (under various different blog names) and i love being a blogger. it is the single most wonderful place for me to put my thoughts down.

2) what kind of blogs do you follow? i follow all sorts of blogs for all sorts of reasons. i follow the daybook because the writer, sydney is hilarious and entertaining, i follow busy bee lauren because she's real and has an all around lovely blog, i follow people like amy schmamey, musings of a hippie, lyds was here, and wonderment in neverland because i can get a real grasp of who they are by reading their blogs. i like a little bit of everything. versatility is the key. (hey! what do you know?!)

3) favorite make-up brand? maybelline (because i am NOT born with it!). hands down. i basically don't buy anything else.

4) favorite clothing brand? i don't really care about brands. but i love the stores forever 21, charlotte russe, h&m, urban outfitters and buffalo exchange. you want to know what my wardrobe looks like? visit those stores. 

5) indispensable make-up product? mascara.

6) favorite color? i love all colors. but i think green and yellow are at the top of my favorites list...

7) favorite perfume? don't have one. but i'm a perfume snob. i'll drop $80 on a bottle of perfume. some of my faves are daisy by marc jacobs, juicy couture, and delicious by dkny. OH! and coco mademoiselle by chanel.

8) favorite film? don't have one of those either. but i do love juno and mean girls. there are only a select few movies that i love that don't fall under the "fantasy/action/adventure" genre. those two would be it. i also love miyazaki films (ponyo, spirited away, howl's moving castle) and then, um, 9, the truman show, a knights tale, chronicles of narnia: prince caspian, the social network, prince of persia, the pirates of the caribbean trilogy, lord of the rings... yeah, i could go on for forever.

9) what country would you like to visit and why? i'd like to visit ALL the countries, but the one i want to go to most is england. i think i was born with a british heart.

10) would you rather forget to put on mascara on one eye or forget blush on one side of your face? blush. it'd be less noticeable than the mascara thing.

thanks again, jamie for the award! you are too kind.
next up:

6 confessions

i've seen this floating around the bloggersphere lately (namely here and here) and i thought i'd jump on the old bandwagon and participate. why not, right? so here we go. 6 confessions from your's truly.

1) i'm super eclectic. i'm so eclectic that i'll even put mix cd's on shuffle, i re-design my blog 5 times a day, and i can't even stand to have all my fingernails all the same color (i usually paint my left ring and middle finger a different color than all the rest). i chalk it up to being an organized chaos type of girl.

{this is my hand. and yes. that is a toy gun in the background (the orange thing you see). we're mafia like that.}

2) while i'm at work i daydream about going home and washing my face. (i work at a restaurant and i always feel like all the food smells are seeping in to my pores. EW!) and when i get home, that is the first thing i do. scrub ze face.

{this are my facial must-haves. witch hazel TWICE daily, make-up remover once daily, burts bees acne solutions in the shower and biore pore strips once. a. week.}

3) i looooove the show wipeout. i watch it almost every week and i laugh my butt off every time. there is just something about people being stupid enough to try to run across big red balls and allowing themselves to be hit with things, thrown off things and such that gets me laughing. gah. love that show.

4) i have 6,756 songs on my iTunes. while i listen to all of them, my favorites are the ones that fall under the indie/indie rock/indie folk genres.

{this is not a dramatization. it is an actual picture of my iTunes right. this. second.}

5) guilty pleasure confession: i love the simple life (t.v. show with paris hilton and nicole richie). i own all four seasons. i watch them. i laugh. it is awesome. i have no shame in being a paris fan but nicole always has been and always will be my fave.

6) jensen ross ackles (dean winchester on supernatural), robert thomas pattinson (if you don't know who he is, then i don't think you own a tv/computer or ever go to the theatres), benjamin thomas barnes (prince caspian in the chronicles of narnia movies), and edward westwick (chuck bass on gossip girl) are my guilty pleasures as far as fake/celeb boyfriends go.

{did me putting their full names, middle names included, just make me look like a bigger teeny-bopper-creepster-stalker-status-fangirl than i actually am?}

what are your 6 confessions? link it up cause i'd love to read yours!

please excuse my fangirl moment.

in just two short days, the chronicles of narnia: the voyage of the dawn treader hits theaters.

bah! i have been waiting for this for over a year and i can barley, barley, BARLEY contain my excitement.

no really.

i'm stoked.

you guys, go see it. i'm sure its going to be legen - wait for it.... dary! legendary.

(oh and you have my permission to drool over my boy ben barnes who plays caspian.)

love me some...

...jensen [ross] ackles.

*swoon*

*sigh*

*drool*
*squee*

yes. I am celeb crushing on him big time.

he's even made it in to my top 5 list of celeb crushes of all time.

(he's in company with robert pattionson, justin timberlake, ben barnes, and ed westwick.)

because he's so wonderful.

i've been watching supernatural like cRaZy.

as well as smallville and a few other things, just to get my jensen fix.

he's been in SO many cw shows which makes it very easy to fangirl over him.

isn't he pretty?!

i most definitely think so.

and he's funny too. definitely a big plus.

*sigh*

yep. i'm fangirling over him.

major.

sorry rob and ben.

i've found an american that i like as much as i like the two of you.

you'll just have to deal.



dear earth:

i'm so rude.

i completely forgot it is earth day today.

poor earth.

well, in honor of earth day, i'd like to share some photos of... you guessed it: the earth (and all her beauty).

enjoy peeps.

{okay, okay! i couldn't help myself.}

happy earth day!

{there is still time to enter the give away.}

xoxo,

lights, camera, action.

lets talk about movies for a second.

there are a lot of movies coming out that i'm pretty stoked to see,

but i'm most interested in the sereies movies that are coming out.

ie harry potter, twilight, chronicles of narnia.

for the past few years, its been a battle between series flicks in the box office: (i'm a box office watcher...)

pirates of the caribbean

transformers

lord of the rings

harry potter

chronicles of narnia

star wars

spiderman

twilight... 

(strikethrough = series ended)

and i want to see what will be the most seen series movie in 2010.

can you guess what one i'm most excited for?

you could try figuring out by this post but i don't think its much of a hint.

...

okay i'll just tell you:

chronicles of narnia: voyage of the dawn treader.

why am i so excited? well my first and main reason: ben barnes. my one true love.

(i haven't forgotten about r-patz, but he's just my love. not my one true love, which is much more important and valid - complicated i know.) and other reasons include: i like the books, the story, costumes, sets, characters etc. i just think it will be excellent.

what are you most excited about seeing?

you can tell me in my little vote box up in the right hand corner of my blog.

don't see your movie there? tell me in the comments section.

xoxo,


p.s. have you entered the give away yet? if not, go here to do so.

blcky.

i feel like i haven't written in for-ev-er.

but in reality its only been a few days.

i just have had a hard time getting back into my groove,

since getting back from utah the second time.

(i always have a hard time getting back in my groove!)

i've been feeling lazy. and kind of anti-social.

so, i've been doing a lot of this:

{reading}

and watching this a lot:

{prince caspian}

and these:

{the olympics}

and working on the book i'm writing.

what have you guys been up to?

xoxo,
