christmas is coming...!

and urban outfitters reminded me in my inbox. thanks, UO, for making me want everything that you have.

like these marbleized ornaments. so pretty. they're almost like easter eggs! but i'm getting ahead of myself.

also, this diet coke ornament is calling my name. loudly and repeatedly. jacqui o gave me one my senior year, and then regis, my fat (and rude) wiener dog, stepped on it and it broke. i actually cried. really.

this cardboard fireplace is so cute. i have the perfect spot for it in my living room.

a glittery owl ornament. need i say more?

and this crochet panda ornament is so cute. it looks like the pet that i have on my ipod named jin su shi.

it snowed today for the first time. well, the snow stuck for the first time. i wish it would stay warm. i don't get along with the snow and the cold. they are rude because i get along better with the sun and heat.

however, the good thing about cold and snow is that it gets me in the christmas spirit early! i've been listening to christmas music all day. and jake and i have been watching holiday movies for weeks. these things are good.

the slow fade of love

i felt infinite again today. the snow is beautiful and pure. it's cold, but it's worth it. listen to porcelain by moby, brothers on a hotel bed by death cab for cutie, and the winter song by eisley.

"now and again it seems worse than it is,

but mostly the view is accurate.

you see your breath in the air

as you climb up the stairs

to that coffin you call you apartment.

and you sink in your chair,

brush the snow from your hair,

and drink the cold away.

and you're not really sure

what you're doing this for,

but you need something to fill up the days.

a few more hours..."

as pretty as it is cruel.

oh, life. today has been emotional. it's so typical of life for everything to happen at once. all sorts of change. rachel moved out today, and siera left last thursday. christina will be gone in three days. i'll have three new roommates. sydnee's getting married so, so soon. it'll be so weird to say that my bestfriend is married. i have some serious concerns about some personal things. finals. snow. boys, or the lack thereof. so much of this is foreign to me and i'm not sure how to handle it. i'll be glad to get back to arizona again and just take a breather. 

today i fell when i was walking home from school. i wasn't paying attention (texting or changing the music on my ipod, most likely) and the sidewalk was icy and snowy. i definitely slid and overcompensated for my lack of balance and landed on my back. so i just layed there for a few seconds, then laughed, then got up and quickly walked away. because there were a couple people walking behind me. i'm such a  joke sometimes.
