December 2010
As seen on Alex's AND Johanna's Tumblrs 8D
Was 2010 a good year for you?
2010 has been so chaotic! It’s been a mishmash of the good, the bad, and the just plain crazy. But overall, I think I’ve enjoyed it immensely.
Who knows your biggest secret?
I’m trying to decide what exactly is my biggest secret. I guess if it’s the one that I think it is, then my mom and my coach knows. Maybe one of my friends when I...
It’s a good day in the world when you’re hanging out with friends and talking about calamari.

Merry Christmas!
Day 20 – Favorite romance books
8[ THAT’S SUCH A DIFFICULT QUESTION.
One of my all time favorite romance novels is Pride and Prejudice. I, like many people, enjoyed the story far more when I got older and actually understood what the word ‘rejection’ meant.
Right now I’m reading Love in the Time of Cholera and am enjoying it immensely.
Day 18- My beliefs
My beliefs are my beliefs. No one has to agree or disagree or agree to disagree with them. I won’t try to force them on anyone else but will argue the rationale for them.
Women complain about premenstrual syndrome, but I think of it as the only time...
– Roseanne Barr
Psh, think APUSH is hard?
Wait til you try to knit mittens.
THE LOOPY NEEDLES ARE DESIGNED TO MAIM AND CONFUSE.
Day 19 – Favorite book turned into a movie
Devil Wears Prada!
Meryl Streep is amazing. AND THE CLOTHES, THE CLOTHES.
EDIT: Ahaha, I thought the book was okay, but it really made Miranda seem like a complete b****. I didn’t really like Andy either :[ But I just love eating and reading the book at the same time <3 It makes me laugh
Day 17- The highs and lows of this past year
Pros (THE SUPER AWESOME STUFF THAT MAKES ME WANNA DANCE AROUND ‘CAUSE THAT’S JUST HOW AWESOME IT IS. YEZZIR.)
Getting 2nd place at Pacific League Finals with my partner, Annie.
Managing to pull an A- out of my arse in AP Biology. It’s a miracle.
Getting my tablet! Yay!
Knowing that my relationships with my family aren’t going to implode and make me scream,...
At the moment
I’m a cesspool of hacking, wheezing, and phlegming (THEY SHOULD MAKE THAT A VERB. To phlegm.) I blame this on running around in the streets of Old Town (although I don’t regret it) and an inability to properly consume warm food for the past two days.
Today was a little bit more entertaining… although my scores in math still make me curse my carelessness. Nghh.
Anyways, belts or...
Day 16- My views on mainstream music
Eh. I don’t really have a strong opinion on anything considered mainstream.
Or anything considered indie for that matter.
Mainstream to me is just what seems to have a little more circulation in today’s society. Do I like mainstream? Yes and no. I like Lady Gaga, Maroon 5, The Killers, Usher, and Justin Timberlake. I don’t like Miley Cyrus, Justin Bieber, Katy Perry, and Owl...
Day 18 – A book that disappointed you
It might be sacrilege when I say this, but the book that disappointed me so much was The Book Thief.
It wasn’t that the writing wasn’t amazing (because it was actually quite superb) or that it didn’t have an incredible storyline (it was one of the more entertaining reads of my freshman year), but I guess the hype generated by the rest of my classmates kind of fell short of my...
Day 16 – Favorite female character
Hannah Hartford (The House At Riverton)
Hermione Granger & Luna Lovegood (Harry Potter series)
Ella of Frell (Ella Enchanted)
Morag, Heather, and Kerry (The Good Fairies of New York)
Day 15- My Favorite Tumblrs
Psh, well THAT’S easy. ALL of the Tumblrs that I’m following are my favorite <3
But for inspiration’s sake (and yummy photos), it’d be omgsexyfood, booklover, zizart, 2n, and movieoftheday 8D
Without art, the crudeness of reality would make the world unbearable.
– George Bernard Shaw (via libraryland)
F!@$ YEAHHH.
I BEAT MINESWEEPER ON HARD AGAIN!
What the-
Just finished watching Episode 12 of Panty&Stocking.
WHAT THEEE-
I LOVED THE ROMEO&JULIET REFERENCE, AHAHAHAHA. IT WAS SO CUTE.
AND I KNEW BRIEF WOULD BE HOT. WIN!!!!
VICKYY, REPLY IF YOU SEE THIS SH**.
Day 14- My earliest memory
I believe my early life was somewhat chaotic.
The actual earliest memory I’ve ever ever had wasn’t even with my own family. I was staying with a nanny and her husband (who are probably some of the best people I’ve ever had the pleasure of knowing.) because.. for some reason. I think it had to do something with my mom+work+crankysisterthatwouldn’tstopcrying+stress.
It was...
Day 15 – Favorite male character
Atticus Finch (To Kill A Mockingbird)
Robbie Hunter (The House at Riverton)
Artemis Fowl (Artemis Fowl series)
Julian Carax (Shadow of the Wind)
David Martin (The Angel’s Game)
Caleb Trask (East of Eden)
Kafka Tamura & Nakata (Kafka on the Shore)
Dinny (The Good Fairies of New York)
Oh man.
It’s freezing and I can hear the rainclouds.
I want to chuck on some boots and jump in oil puddles!
Day 14 – Favorite book of your favorite writer
Kafka on the Shore. After Dark.
Day 13- Somewhere I'd like to move or visit
Somewhere I want to move or visit…
I want to visit so many places! Ahaha, I want to go to Brazil, Australia, Africa, Greece, Spain, England, and so much more.
But as for moving.. I can’t really imagine myself as an urban kind-of girl. If possible, I’d like to move to a portside town. Somewhere like Ciutadella de Menorca.
It’d be nice to just walk along the beach and...
Gary Graham. You are my freaking inspiration.
-plasters face to website-
“Destiny is usually just around the corner. Like a thief, a hooker, or a lottery vendor: its three most common personifications. But what destiny does not do is home visits. You have to go for it.”
-The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafon
Day 12- Bullet Your Day
Eff.
Eff it.
Friggin’ tired AND eff it.
I’m to become a world dictator apparently.
Tripped and bruised my ego.
Nghhh.
-catatonic-
Sluggish but still kind of running.
Crashed
BIG EFF.
I’m not in such a spectacular mood :[
