 It snowed last night :] its all pretty much gone today though. I hope the snow holds off until i can fly out next week.

 My LG  Cosmos Touch arrived yesterday! It's nice to have a phone again after living without one for a month<3

It moves its mouth :]

The Fledermaus

These pictures were from yesterday but i was too sleepy to post them by the time I got on the laptop at 2 am :x. I really like the color of this shirt and how I don't have to suck in my tummy when I wear it. I just wish I hadn't shortened the straps so much, it's a little too high now. It was the first time I used my sewing machine too so the stiches are way too close for me to undo. Oh wells, it's still cute ^^

I really need to make sure I wear my longer shirts when I wear these jeans. They're a little loose at the waist and pretty low cut so my butt crack kinda shows if I'm not careful. Maaaaybe I should wear start wearing belts.

Die Fledermaus. German for 'bat' aka 'flying mouse'. I made it from a craft kit that I bought Kevin for Christmas a coupla years ago. He never got around to making anything inside of it so I made one myself :]. It's a book that has paper machines (but they call them automata) in them. It's really pretty cool. You can't see it, but there's a crank on the side of the box that you turn to make the mouse flap its arms. I don't think I made it that well cause it doesn't really flap very much but it's still adorable :P I used glue stick for it so some parts kept coming apart which was a little frustrating. I really love making things though. It's the same feeling when I help my dad put together ikea furniture, I just feel so proud and accomplished afterwards.

 Played some Rock Band with Kevin for a couple of hours last night too. I made a video and realized my voice sounds higher than I thought it did when I record it. I wonder if that's what my voice really sounds like to everyone else o.o

I realize that I use different tones of voice depending on who I'm talking to. With my family I tend to speak deeper than when I'm with Vinh. Is it just me or is it something that everyone does?

I just have to get through these last three finals and I'm through. I'm already in vacation mode though, I don't really want to study right now lol. Gotta squeeze out some good grades and next week I'll be able to relax :]

Pearls and Memories

So.. in pathology today, my professor was staring and smiling at me while giving me test paper. He then said "nice pearls :]" and walked away. Slighty awkward moment there.

My favorite moments<3

1) Ice skating, falling on my ass, and laughing uncontrollably as you try to lift me back to my feet.

2) Riding on that crazy transformers arm ride at Legoland while being absolutely terrified, hyperventilating, panicking and screaming "WHAT ARE YOU MAKING ME DO!?" as the random lady in line smiles at me. And you're just totally excited and relaxed lol.

3) Seeing you at the airport for the first time and losing all of my shyness and inhibition as I practically skip to you to give you a huge hug. I loved how natural it felt to hold your hand and to lean on your shoulder. I couldn't stop smiling that night. My smile was plastered to my face :]

4) Falling asleep with you on your couch for an hour and feeling totally safe and content.

5) Making our goomba cake with lips and a mustache ;]

Bundling Up in Florals

Today was absolutely freezing! With the wind chill it was about 20 degrees, and it was even flurrying a little bit during the day. I had to bundle up in two jackets, two pairs of tights, and gloves. Next thing I'm shopping for is earmuffs >.< Doubling up on tights actually kept my legs pretty warm today. Yay for wearing skirts into the winter ;]

I like these shoes but they were so slippery on certain floors. They're a little hard on my toes too since they're more of a plastic material than leather. Hopefully I'll be able to break them in with more wear.

Note to self: stop procrastinating

Myself

I've always been pretty darn shy and reserved, and I'm working on it. I tend to take a while to warm up to people but when i do, i can get pretty cheerful. I love to smile and laugh. Even when i'm not talking, i usually have a whir of thoughts going around in my head that i find hard to put into words. I love looking at beautiful things--art, photographs, interior design, fashion, architecture, movies. I can't stand being cooped up in the house for too many days at a time, i'll go out even if i have no one to go out with. I don't mind having time to myself because it gives me more freedom to wander wherever my heart desires. I enjoy comedies, romantic comedies. I love the uplifting rush that you get from a good movie, book, song, or tv show. I find it easier to write out my thoughts than saying them out loud. I try hard to not judge people, to be open minded, to see the beauty in everything and everyone. Life loses it's magic if nothing's beautiful to you anymore.
