"have some more" said the Marsh Hare

This Birthday keeps getting more and more wonderful! Last night My mother and I took a trip to my best friends house for a small art class. Now, my best friend and I are very much in tune with each other. We understand each other excellently. We are the kind of girls that have tea parties and wonder why the world is round while melting chocolate in the microwave. Her mom is such a lovely person as well! My sister and i call her Aunt Linda, thats how close we are to this family. love them so much!

Well, last night they gave me my present. They gave me some AMAZING truffles, some PG Tips tea and...

an Alice in Wonderland teapot!!

I have wished for a teapot for a while now, there is something so satisfying about getting your tea out of a teapot. It just seems so natural to sit down at the breakfast table and pour a teacup full of tea waiting for you in a teapot. No more running back and forth to the stove for more hot water. They are such jolly round things. Mine has a little Marsh Hare in a stripped vest and red waist coat sitting on top. All over it are pictures of the very merry unbirthday scene from Alice in Wonderland. Its so cute!

I love it!! This has been the best birthday EVER!

This is a gift

The night before last was for remembering. As a part of my birthday present we journeyed to the Wiltern theater in Hollywood to see...

FLORENCE + THE MACHINE!!!!
We didn't know much of her music, just on the radio and i owned one song of hers. We went and our minds were blown! She is this skinny british woman who dances about on stage like a fairy in billowy clothes, she's rather girlish in her actions so we were completely caught off guard by her Voice. Her Voice must come up from deep in the earth because it's hard to believe that such a huge, full, breath taking Voice could come from her body. She never missed a note.

Hers is a Voice that you can almost see, it fills you up to your throat with thick tones and colors. It throbs and dances above the audience with passion. I mean, her Voice is so perfect it deserves to be capitalized! In fact, i will do that right now.

As she trotted about on stage she smiled and interacted with her audience. She accepted gifts of My Little Pony drawings and pink masks. She got the audience all jumping for the last song and throwing their hands up to shout "Raise It Up!". She was a wonder to see!

Beautiful! Bravo Florence, bravo!

Channel four...

Birthdays are special days full of happiness and sunshine and rainbows and streamers and cakes and presents. They are fun, charming with all the correct people that need to be there, family and friends, you know. Sometimes you get taken out on an outing to a theme park with a friend. Birthdays are amazing! Believe me, i think there are the greatest.

Then there are 16th birthdays. These are a breed apart from normal birthdays. These consist of many things that normal birthdays do but to make this a proper equation we must add lots of money, Teen girls (lets face it, besides Bar Mitzvahs and those for fourteen year olds, what teen boy has a sweet sixteen? *cricket* thats what i thought) and big presents. Yes, girls when that certain day comes around start expecting huge presents and a large sum of money to be spent on them. There was even a reality TV show about them... called Sweet Sixteen. Anyway, my point is that most teenagers demand a big party celebration just for them.

I make the confession that i am one of those girls. Two years ago my sister turned sixteen and my parents practically rented out an arcade for all of her friends to run about and shoot at badly pixilated screens, which by the way is one of the most fun things ever! So this year i automatically started thinking of what big hoo-ha i could throw for my b-day. I decided on Disneyland! So the week-end after Thanksgiving we are spending at the happiest place on earth (it's true, too)riding rides over and over again. I am so excited!!

Today is actually my birthday but we are not doing anything tell that weekend because my amazingly talented sister and our friend is having a voice recital. I am cool with that:) I had gluten free waffles with fruit and sausages this morning as a wee celebration and i opened the cards from grandparents so that was good enough for me!

"whats that dad? 100 dollars to spend on iTunes? WOO-HOO!!"

Have i mentioned that i love my amazing, perfect, totally cool parents? Well i love my amazing, perfect totally cool parents! They are gifts from God! Thank you Mommy and Daddy. I will love you forever!

Send me an angel

The lights rise, the first lonely twangs float across the audience. The mist starts and you see the silhouettes of the four men in skin tight pants, their hair creating fuzzy halos. Then the cords start flying, voices rise in screaming hysteric love for the ones playing the music. Heads bob and fists pump, the gods of rock are here!!

Thus is the legacy of 80's rock. Beautiful in it's raw grungy songs and twangy thick ballads. I love it!! No one rocks like the long-haired rockers of the 80's. No no! No resent band can be like the rock gods of the 80s.

Journey! They are amazing!Bon Jovi! Stunning!
ACDC! So good!Echo and The Bunnyman! Lips like Sugar!!!

All these and more are just perfect in the rock category. To these bands no modern band can hold a candle. Yes there are some amazing bands out there rite now. Trust me, i listen to most of them. but at heart I am my moms 80's baby. Love that fashion and that music, oh! so beautiful! *tear*

I've got an itch

Today i discovered that all the web surfing for cool blogs i've been doing over the past few days has resulted in something alarming: I've been bite by the blog bug. It's a horribly contagious disease that travels from you mind to you finger tips. It makes me want to jot down every single thing that flashes through my shallow teenage mind. Blogging is making your thoughts public, weather they are worth while or not here they are for the world to view if it wishes.

I have been on all sorts of websites over the last two days. From Nylon.com to Etsy.com(a shopping website) looking for places to blog or read other peoples blogs(only if the blog is interesting though because i simple don't tolerate being bored by what i read). I have tried to start a blog on Nylon.com but cannot find where you can do that. It's quite infuriating. Well, it has taken up so much of my time but i have enjoyed it. I realize that there are other things i'd like to do as well so i need to limit my time on here.

On the Nylon predicament. If you don't know what it is, it is a fashion magazine that focuses on all aspects of pop culture. Music, movies, quirky pillows and food, you can find that everything is considered in Nylon Magazine. I subscribe to it and enjoy reading it's pages full of articles on actors and actresses. The clothes are always fabulously fun! But anyway, on some magazines websites you can start you very own fashion blog. I was like "hey! how about on Nylon!" but i couldn't find how to start one. phooy!

Oh Well. This blog does fine for me anyhow. i have fun keeping track of myself on here. it's such a great hobby.

I do believe i am going to add some other pages onto this page. Just places i can write reviews of the movies i see or books i read. And, of coarse, fashion.

Thats all for now folks! bye!

Mourn for the long gone past

from my childhood tv watching memories!

I love Lucy! It's so fun to watch her blunder about in ridiculously impossible ways. As if it wasn't unnatural at all to clime out on the ledge outside your apartment window.

Loony Toons!! The childhood cartoon is right here! Bugs Bunny was all our hero with his fluffy tail and sarcastic cross-dressing ways of getting out of mischief. He is amazing!

Animal planet was my sister and mine favorite station to watch. We would run up the stairs of our grandparents house to the living room on saturday morning and watch K-Nine To Five, Emergency Vets, and of coarse, The Crocodile Hunter. He was the man of the hour! Steve Erwin! We grew up with him as our animal guide. We oohed and ahhed when his little girl was born and held our breath in suspense when he was in danger of being devoured by an evil croc. We miss you a lot Mr. Erwin. Thanks for the memories and stories. We won't ever forget you.

The Club Can't Even Handle Me Right Now!

Halloween! The Night of Horror!!! Or in this case the Night of Dancing Ninjas!

I, I'm proud to say, am part of a dance crew. We danced a halloween dance that was worthy of induction into the ninja hall of fame! After we murdered the dance floor we knocked the socks off anyone who saw the whites of our eyes with our killer moves. we pretty much are the most awesome in all of Pasadena and beyond!

We will strike again in November! We will see you all then, but you won't see us. *poof ninja smoke disappear*
