beads. bees? bzzz

i heart arrested development. always.

tonight i saw alice in wonderland... it was.. different, but i would expect no less from tim burton & co. i did enjoy the quirky characters and alice's dresses.

the weather here has been nice-r. not quite as nice as arizona (where i return to in 19 days), but certainly better than it has been!

wah wah wah

it's 12:30.. nothing is on except for real housewives of new york city behind the scenes. i feel so lame for leaving it on.

i'm in arizona. daylight savings doesn't apply here. thumbs up.

speaking of az, i like it here. because i can wear sandals and walk around outside sans jacket. today i even tanned poolside. and my family is here. and some sweet friends.

i do miss my utards though.

i painted my nails pink tonight.

and i bought these sweet pants. terribly comfy.

and this simple, yet classy top.

and this tunic, but in seafoam.

suck that lucky feeling right outta me

just when it was starting to warm up...

it snowed all day yesterday. hmph.

i like this squared tape from papermash.

the office was so good last night. welcome, baby.

dwight is the best.

i can't wait for arizona and good mexifood.

(from everday musings. i love olivia's blog.)

(i'm trying to be better at giving credit where credit it due.)

a message

and i'm not gonna take it back

and i'm not gonna say i don't mean that

you're the target that i'm aiming at

but i'm nothing on my own

got to get that message home

and i'm not gonna stand and wait
not gonna leave it until it's much too late
on a platform i'm gonna stand and say
that i'm nothing on my own

on the run

The O.C.

my latest tv love.

i used to think it was a silly show, with a lame story and poor acting.

oh, how wrong i have been.

i love ryan atwood. i love sandy cohen. and most of all, i love seth cohen (played by adam brody).

if he were a real boy, i would want to marry him.

he is sweet. he is witty. he is adorable. he is smart. he has great style. he likes death cab, the shins, bright eyes, and the goonies.

he was pretty much television's first indie kid.

what else could i ask for?

"you're a cohen now. welcome to a life of insecurity and paralyzing self-doubt."

i change my mind

this is the tattoo i would get

the menagerie in my closet

the other day i was thinking about how many animal shirts i have. and then today i decided i would blog about it. i don't have much else to do with my time...

ELK

paint by numbers shirt i got from urban last summer.

FOX

BIRD

i'm pretty sure my bf sydnee got me this one. i wore it when i moved to utah.

PANDA

CAT

in a hat.

FOX

ALLIGATOR

because it's a splitting image of myself

DINOSAUR

i heart eating meat.

FOX

the cover of brand new's daisy album. got it at their concert.

WOLF

possibly my favorite...

DEER

my mom gave it to me for christmas

HEDGEHOG

a gift from keeeisha

in the future, i may have to do an animal accessory post, which will be equally as long, if not longer.

i want you i need you oh baby oh baby

"-see, there's a difference between like and love, because i like my skechers, but i love my prada backpack.

-but i love my skechers.

-that's because you don't have a prada backpack."

10 things i hate about you... one of my favorites, ever!

so many wonderful lines...

and alex mack...

and heath ledger's unforgettable bleacher performance.

and also joseph gordon-levitt... who would have though that sweet little cameron (and tommy from 3rd rock from the sun, and roger from angels in the outfield) would grow up to be tom from my beloved 500 days of summer!

i could dedicate an entire post to this crush of mine, but i won't.

"i hate the way you talk to me, and the way you cut your hair. i hate the way you drive my car, i hate it when you stare. i hate your big dumb combat boots, and the way you read my mind. i hate you so much it makes me sick; it even makes me rhyme. i hate the way you're always right, i hate it when you lie. i hate it when you make me laugh, even worse when you make me cry. i hate it when you're not around, and the fact that you didn't call. but mostly i hate the way i don't hate you. not even close, not even a little bit, not even at all."

these days

i don't ever know what day it is anymore. i spent my day under the delusion that it was thursday and that the office would be on tonight. i was disappointed.

i almost died tonight when a car tried to change lanes, right into us. i would have been the first to go, but jake saved me with his defensive driving skills. it was one of those moments when everything was silent. neither of us said anything, screamed, swore, nothing. it was scary. but i'm glad we lived. we went to the hot (luke-warm, rather) tub when we got home.

if i were to get a tattoo, i think i would get something like the above. or beatles lyrics...

i don't like my handwriting lately... does anyone know how one would go about improving her penmanship?

[new items of greatness:]

it's my guiltiest of pleasures.
