Just something worth fighting for.

ok. so. can i just say, yes. i am a dork. i can be obsessive. i can spend way too much time thinking about something thats on my mind. and yes. i'm kinda into harry potter. so, this is something that is going to be a flippin epic item of my year. so obviously, i just have to post the trailer. even if it may not make you happy like it does me. :)

There's a hole in the world.

well, it seems i have been blogging alot of late, but since it is summer, it's a relatively relaxing way to waste time. anyway, so the fair was awesome, me and an amazing friend went and had a really good time. went on tons of rides {the zipper...of course} and generally just hung out. the first time we went on the zipper i was SO incredibly intelligent and brought my bag on. and my bag doesnt close. at all. and...it was the zipper. need i say more? as soon as the ride started all my stuff came flying out and started smacking us in the face. just being on the zipper is enough, but then virtually getting punched a couple times a minute with all my things...oh the joy. i felt like we were in a blender. my camera {which isnt exactly lightweight} actually survived the whole thing, although i'm not completely positive we both wont have bruises after that thing hit us. anyway, it was the type of thing that is funny now, but in the moment...i've not sworn so much in a while. that was the worst of it though, on every other ride i made sure my bag was secure ;) and also, i found out that i suffer from either short term memory loss, or just stupidity. because i hate heights. really. hate. heights. and we went on the zipper and, yea the ferris wheel and as soon as i got on i was like ohmigod i really dont like this, but i sort of did at the same time. definitely a love/hate type thing. and also...i can never be a pilot. i dont think. unless i dont look down. but being a pilot would be pretty sweet, in my opinion. wish i could fly.

also, saw speed, which was awesome, and finally {finally!} saw sweeny todd, which sure, was kinda gross in the fake blood spraying everywhere, but. the fact that it was johnny depp, and that it was just amazing made it amazing;)

and...i have less than two weeks left of summer :( but! i an going to make the best of it. optimistic, right?

until later,

sing us a song, and we'll sing it back to you.

not completely sure why i love this picture. all i know is that i do. aand, shes wearing doc martens!! therefore im pretty much jealous.

so the past few days have been relatively interesting, i spent the day in napa with my mom and brother just walking around and looking in stores, and we saw despicable me, which was actually pretty good. the minions were the best part ;) i saw this awesome clothing store, i wanted to go in but we were running out of time so we had to run. no music store though, thats direly {wondering if that's a word} needed. anyways then me and three of mi amigos went and saw salt, which i dont know if i was just like half asleep or something but i am still trying to figure out. hopefully i was just half asleep, cause otherwise i would feel semi pathetic. but it was pretty good though, it was one of those movies that i kept predicting and then pretty much the total opposite would happen, which is awesome. those are the best type of movies.

then today i helped at my neighbors' garge sale. got a cool ying yang ring and some earrings i'm going to see if i can bend into a necklace. this one guy was talking about losing good grip as you get older and he was saying 'we're just not geckos anymore.' i don't know why but i sort of love this for some unknown reason. it just sort of stuck in my brain and has been going in circles in my mind all day...don't ask. because i have no clue.
anyway that has been my last 24 hours ;) i have been attempting a paul mccartney concert post for a few days now but the video wont load, so i dont know. hopefully it'll be up in a few days!

also...one of the best. songs. EVER is my heart, by paramore {of course}...its been stuck in my head for 3 days straight so far. if you haven't already, give it a listen when you can. i love. ;)

till later <3

Nice shades.

i went and saw eclipse last night with a couple of friends, and ok. it was actually kind of good. ok so not like 5 stars or anything, but it was definitely better than the first two. i dont know, i'm still on the fence as to how much i like it. but it was fun anyway. and this is the first july post, just thought i'd put that out there. looking forward to the fireworks anyone? i find it odd that for some reason we have our fireworks on the 3rd of july instead of the 4th.

and ps. i love this picture. :)

how long must we wait for this, yeah...how long must we wait for this?
i had to do this award thing today for my school today, a bunch of people got chosen to be given awards for certain classes, and joy of all joys, i was chosen. i woulndt have minded that much except we had to get up on stage in front of everyone. which i hate. but anyway, me and a few friends were there waiting to be called up onstage and we were kind of joking about how we would probably trip on the way up, and when my name was called, guess who tripped on the steps up to the stage...in front of everyone? haha, yes...moi. sometimes i crack myself up. i literally almost started laughing at the irony. :) anyway, after that it was all good. at least its over with so i no longer have the opportunity to embarrass myself :)

i actually had a pretty good day today, considering it started out reasonably crappy.

i have come to the depressing conclusion that i am scarily good at hurting feelings. and just making people mad at me in general. mostly my parents, and sometimes i hate myself for that. phases.

in other news i actually am going to see U2, becuase we saw It might get loud, with jimmy page, jack white {from the white stripes and the raconteurs...i love him} and the edge from u2 and it showed footage from some past u2 concerts and we pretty much decided that the concert was too {epic} to miss.

also check out the rain song by led zeppelin, its one of my favorite songs right now. i'm in love. ...and...not just with the song.
Stop crying to the ocean, stop crying over me.
Stop worrying over nothing, stop worrying over me.
So it's been so long since you said,
Well I know what I want and what I want's right here with you.

love tegan and sara <3

well i have to go finish mi tarea and get some long awaited sleep.

xx
goodnight.

This Is a One Track Life

i know this picture is completely random, but it reminds me of summer. and i am liking that. kudos to anthropologie.

hello. so it seems like time is flying. am i the only one? anyway.
so this week has been sort of awesome, certain moments especially. so this fiday was fantastically good, after school me and some of mi amigos hung out after school and then saw...iron man 2. it was actually pretty friggin awesome, i thought it was better than the first. but thats just me. and it was really cool because i heard on the radio that morning to stay until after the credits because there was something cool at the end, so we did and after basically ten minutes of credits there was a tiny part of the third one. it was totally cool because it was just us and two other guys, so we saw what most people didnt. it was pretty awesome. an extrememly long wait though. if there hadnt been anything at the end, i would have been extrememly pissed. anyway then i slept over at my friends house and we all watched monsters inc...which i have to say i actually sort of love. we found an old journal we had passed around between a few of my friends and we looked at it...its so cute. i was such a nerd though, it was sort of embarrassing. i'm just glad it was from three years ago so i can say i was alot different back then. :D and then tonite im going over to my aunt and uncles casa, which should be cool except im sooo tired. and i happen to have mounds of homework. but oh well, its been a pretty decent weekend so far and i'm only about a quarter through. so hmmm...what else has happened...? hate to say not much, but its truth.
actually {this isnt terribly interesting} but i found a new band i really like, basically just a few minutes ago, called Crossfade. theyre really good, they actually sound alot like breaking benjamin who i love, so i'm kind of liking them.
also i really want to go to the beach soon, it just seems like the perfect place to be right now. and take really pretty pictures too. :)

anyway i must go now, but until later,

If You Want To Live High, Live High

objects in mirror are...me and my camera...

well...i literally feel like its been years since i've posted last, even though its only really been 6 days. so much has happened, good and not so good, and much i cant put up here on my blog because 1., its completely public, which i still find sort of creepy, and 2., some of its not my right to share. lets just say its been an eventful weekend. had an interesting friday with a few of my amazing friends, and then had a really good saturday...me and my mom and my aunt hung out in downtown novato and got lunch and saw date night. i sort of loved it. and also i went on a quest for purple ductape, to no avail. i got some amazing orange tictacs though, of which i think i ate half the box in a few hours. i realized it was the first time i had bought tictacs, at least that i remember. i am now no longer a tictac purchase virgin.

Trees...

and more trees...!!

and me and my mom went to this makeup store and tried on a bunch of makeup. i'm not really into stores like that, mainly bcause practically everyone in there were snobbish, over fake looking women who totally gave you the up and down if you werent wearing foundation an inch thick. anyway, i got purple eyeliner though, so i guess it was worth it in a way.

tictacs...:D

also, just something i found out, and have been slowly realizing is that caffiene doesnt affect me. at least i dont think it does, i think it makes me more tired. is that possible? i've been drinking TONS of tea lately and eating coffee {long story} and i swear i am no more awake than normal. i am wondering what this is about :D
and i saw charlie bartlett last night!! its a movie by the way, i just realized it could be taken literally. anyway i really liked it, and also i saw nick and norahs infinite playlist finally :) i like it, and i love the soundtrack too.

hehe...izze and my converse{s}?
oh, just as a note, these are actually all my pictures!! i know theyre not great or anything but its a start. anyway, so all the blogs i've seen with pictures on them say not to take them without asking, so i'm going to say the same thing. just in case...although i doubt its necessary :)

are you liking my abstractwannabe tictac pictures?
anyway, i'm sure theres more stuff i could blogg about, but i happen to have a spanish and a science test tomorrow, so must be going. au revior <3>

Ignorance Is Your New Best Friend

well......basically. i have no idea. i feel like everythings ending. schools almost over and then summer will be almost over and its like everythings totally passing by and spinning out of control and no one can even come close to trying to stop it. and with the start of summer ends some particular opportunities...opportunities i dont want to have to lose. so. just had to get that out there.
i'm in a pondering mood right now...thats my nerd word for the day. you know, the word taht pretty much no one else uses in regular conversations, but, being random, you decide to use?? yeah thats the one. anyway... well.
these past two days i've had star testing in school, which yes, sucks greatly, but we got to get to school at 10:05!!! it was so awesome. but, alas...now i have to go to school regular time now. and guess what?? me, being me, i had to have two coughing fits during the test...when it was...DEAD silent. and then iwent into the bathroom to get water and of course it has to be an echoey bathroom so i'm guessing everyone on the first floor heard me coughing. so. that was my day...how was anyone elses? :D
so i've recently realized that basically this blog has served as a place where i...complain. and vent. so i'm sorry to anyone reading if i'm annoying you or seeming negative. i will try to be more positive :D
on a positive note, its sunny!
oh and also, i saw The Men Who Stare At Goats {its a movie} and it was so good. i laughed so hard, it was really...good. you should totally see it :) hmmm...and i finally rented the Hangover...now, just to watch it.
mkay well, as usual i ended up blogging {wow i just wrote blooging and had to change it} about NOTHING. but oh well. my life isnt exactly like an action movie or anything but hey. ya know what? i love it anyway. :D au revior.

When It Rains

i fell asleep to the sound of the pouring rain last night. it was awesome.
so, today. i was going to dress gothicly but i ended up not...sadly. it would have been cool. oh well. but anyway, it made me realize i need a band shirt. i know that sounds sort of lame, but its something everybody needs, really. i really want to find like a greenday or a led zeppelin one, but i'm wondering if people will think i'm a wannabe... i'm not i swear. led zepplin kicks all ass. my dad used to have a led zeppelin shirt, i wish he had kept it it would be so awesome, like an old vintage led zeppelin tee. so awesome.
so, in honor of the fact that i will be out of school for break in one day, i am procrastinating...even though i have a science exam and a spanish test tomorrow. so! fun stuff, right?? by the way, to anyone that ever ends up reading this, you have to look up the band Scary Kids Scaring Kids... i'm falling in love. theyre so incredibly good, i've literally been listening to them nonstop for like this whole week. theyre like good screamo...semi oxymoronic, but i love them :) yee...i love their lyrics...
if the stars say that you cannot love me
are you telling me that you would listen
if the words make their way from your mouth
dont ask my permission
all is forgiven
and so i am Star Crossed...but not just with them.

Blue Is The Color

hello again. so...the week's almost over already (this is depressing) and i don't know how that happened. hmm...i'm listening to Dear Agony by Breaking Benjamin right now, and even though i guess technically its sort of a depressing song, i love it. so. much. just thought i'd let you know. :D and i had a pretty decent day today...certain things made me smile...really smile, which i love.

so, as a change of subject, i finally saw 2012 and Where the Wild Things Are. 2012 was pretty awesome, but i still cant decide if i liked Where the Wild Things Are. it was more depressing than i thought it would be...to be honest. and i saw New Moon again, and i have to say, it was extremely cheesy. i'm sorry. i totally used to be like a diehard Twilight fan, but alas, no more. oh well. my loss, right? or...maybe not.

ok, i'm so excited, because (wait for it)... Paramore is coming to San Jose in September and Tegan and Sara are opening for them! i'm so excited, i just need to convince someone to take me and then find the money to get tickets. Paramore's singer has like the BEST VOICE EVER. you have no idea how jealous i am. tickets are sort of pricey though, so this could be a problem. fingers crossed.

right now its in that stage between sunny and rain, and i dont know, i sort of like it. its like the sky's in indecision. i realize i'm being totally random in my subjects i'm writing about, but i dont think many {if any} people read this, so my apologies. anyway, on the way home from school today i was listening to this song Dark Blue and i realized that right now it totally describes my life. completely. especially in one aspect, but seeing as how anyone can view a blog, i'm not gonna advertise my secrets.

hmmm...not much else is new i guess, but it was my best friends birthday yesterday, so i'm wishing her a happy birthday right now. even though it was yesterday. but still...(you know who you are, i love you!!)

and i cant wait till summer!! it sort of almost feels like it though...i've been eating a lot of strawberries :) kay well i have to go downtown soon so...adios.
