the month-long break has come to a close

Had I waited until tomorrow to post this, it would have been exactly one month since the last time I posted anything on this very neglected blog.

Growing on me: her and them.

Anticipations got me glued:

Birthdays and Fridays are great days.

Today is my little siter's birthday. Unfortunately, she is about 3 inches taller than I am, but that does not change the fact that she is younger than me, and thus I can still callh her my "little" sister.

Happy Birthday my dear Patch. I can't believe you are only 16. On birthdays it usually seems to be the other way around...we say "I can't believe you are already __," but it seems to me like you are older than this. God is doing great things in your life. Seek His face. I love you.

Love,
Annie

I'm kind of tired...

Today was a big day. I quit my job. I have three weeks left, which amounts to no more than six days, or a total of 36 hours. This doesn't really seem right, or normal, but then, when is something I do "normal"? And for that matter, what does normal really mean anyways? I really don't hate my job as much as it seems...


I have wondered for a long time whether I am right or left brained...and while I suppose this didn't really help me, I find it strangely interesting.

I need a camera. Mine definitely does not work. I'm not sure how this is possible, but the film came back completely blank. I'm beginning to wonder about my knowledge of cameras. Perhaps I am just insanely stupid. Still, a new camera would be amazing.

Four weeks and three days...

A Day Like Today

Today is probably the most boring busy day I have worked in a long time.

It's freezing and rainy outside and apparently supposed to snow tomorrow. I hope it does.

"I don't mind the weather, I've got scarves and caps and sweaters."

welcome back (says the voice on the radio)

There is a new trailer for The Goblet of Fire, which you can (and should) watch here.

Californ-I-A is on my mind. I'm thinking about making a weekend trip there. Would that be insane? Probably so. I think I will be insane.

"We'll walk to Hawaii..."

Hopeful state of mind.

I am stuck somewhere between reality and wishful thinking.

Fall officially starts in 12 days. Why then, is it still 90 degrees outside?? And more than that, why am I constantly wearing sweaters to protect myself from the air conditioning?? This is not right...

we're bound to be afraid

Hey. I say "hey" too much. I sound like a....well something. Besides, who write a blog post that begins with "Hey"? (I do, apparently.)

The important (or not so important, it's up to you) things I have to say are these:

1. Go to your nearest Gap store and try on a pair of their jeans, whether or not you have any intention of purchasing them. They will give you a free iTunes download.

2. About a Boy is movie worth seeing and I would really like to see it again.

3. My sister and I invented some "cool hot indie preppy clothes" which I do realize is a double oxymoron, but fun to talk about none the less.

4. Did I listen to pop music because I was miserable, or was I miserable because I listened to pop music?

Fours the lucky number tonight.

10:42 is the lucky time, it is bedtime.


If I don't go crazy, I'll lose my mind.

the cool air will rush your hard heart away

Today was one of those days. One of the ones that was very nice and should have been much enjoyed. The lack of enjoyment of it on my part tells me something is wrong...

The selfish part of my heart is steadily growing larger and overtaking the miniscule thankful part.

Beautiful things have happened, so many things seem so right. Yet, I sit here and wish I was some place else and instead of making the most of every situation, learning the best I can from every oppourtunity, and being thankful each day for the life I have been given, I set up shop and feel sorry for myself.

The only point of this post is to remind myself that I know exactly what is wrong with me.

in case you were wondering

Yep, I'm still alive, still buying shoes, and still listening to Nada Surf. Life is good.

Films

Seeing as how I was tagged by Andrea quite some time ago, I guess it is time I do this, eh?!

Total number of films I own on DVD/Video:
I don't really own very many, if even any. My parents own a lot, probably like 15-20 on DVD, 35-40 on VHS. I'm not sure. I'm not very good at estimating.

The last film I bought: Again, I don't buy many films...Napoleon Dynamite was the last one someone in my house bought though...I think.

The last film I watched:
Ladder 49

Five films that I watch a lot or that mean a lot to me (in no particular order):
1. The Sound of Music - I remember watching it from the time a was really little and thinking it was cool that Gretel was about my age (she is five...). My sisters and I used to watch this a lot.

2. Benny & Joon - Is one of my favorites...it just is...

3. Breakfast at Tiffany's - Definitely one of my all time favorites too. I have watched this a ton with my sisters as well, we have mostly all of it memorized, and quote it often.

4. St. Ives - So yeah, I guess I am kind of going for all the ones I love to watch with my sisters. :-P We just watched it last week...and have most of it memorized too.

5. Rear Window - This is probably my favorite Hitchcock film, and it was the first of his works I ever saw, and I love it.

I tag Melodee, Rachel, and Amanda (hey, good thing you are coming home tomorrow!!!).

Edit: So, I guess I just won't tag anyone then...I realized after posting this that Melodee and Rach have already done it. I'm so behind the times, what can I say?!
