skipping puddles

Bev.
So, Beverley and I had a photoshoot at my house a while ago.

Bev.
We also had a discussion about love at her house a few days ago, and you must check out her blog (a-bev-blog.blogspot.com) and read about what she has to say.

Bev.
Some of the pictures turned out pretty well. We were both in a creative mood.

They were shrunken down when I uploaded them onto blogger, but at least you get a glimpse of what we were up to.

That's me wearing a dress that I got at VV a while ago. It was so darling and made me feel like a princess, so I bought it. I really hope that there is an occasion coming up that I could wear it to. Theme party, anyone?

I don't normally post photos of my meals, but this one was very tasty. I am a big believer in eating cake whenever I can!

Thanks to everyone for commenting and telling me their responses to my question. I love hearing from all of you!

Nicola(insidethecabinetofwonder.blogspot.com) tagged me with a tag that I've been wanting to do for a while.

The rules are:
1. Respond and rework. Answer the questions on your blog, replace one question you dislike with a question of your own invention; add a question of your own.
2. Tag eight other un-tagged people.
What is your current obsession?
I am currently spending a lot of time decorating my bedroom. I love decorating it.
What are you wearing right now?
Right now I am wearing a pink cardigan and a green tank top from Old Navy and a floral skirt that I bought from VV, but it was originally American Eagle.
Who was the last person you hugged?
The last person I hugged would have to be my friend, Mistu when she came over and visited me the other day.
How many facebook friends do you have at the moment(or any social networking site)?

I'll have to go check. *one minute later* I have seven hundred and seventy eight friends. Does that even make sense? Oh my!
What’s for dinner?

I am hoping for pizza, but with my luck, we are probably not having it.
What was the last thing you bought?
The last thing that I bought was cupcakes.
What are you listening to right now?

Right now, I am listening to the We Just Touched Awkwardly song.

Listen to it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E2RzKNCahRg
What is your favourite weather?
I quite enjoy springtime and autumn.
What’s on your beside table?

Currently I have a few CDs, mostly mixes, my alarm clock, a green picture frame, and fancy cards with envelopes.
Say something to the person/s who tagged you.

Your blog was one of the first I read, and it is such a pleasure to know that you read mine now too!
If you could have a house totally paid for, fully furnished anywhere in the world, where would you want it to be?

New York.

My basement!
A book you're currently reading?

I am currently re-reading Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.
What would you like to have in your hands right now?

Anything Spring Awakening related. I love that musical.
What is your favourite tea flavour?

Belgium Chocolate.
What film means so much to you?

This is a really hard question to answer. Rent, Odd Girl Out, or the Parent Trap(Lohan version).

If you could go anywhere in the world for the next hour, where would you go?

I would go to an intense dance workshop, or a cozy secondhand book store.
What did you want to become as a child?

A teacher.

Who was the last person you sang with?

My brother.

I'm going to tag anyone who wants to do this, because I really can't pick only eight people, as all of you are just so full of awesome!

Like I said in the first question, I have been working on changing my bedroom..gradually. The walls of my bedroom are the same as this next picture. I've posted a few pictures, all from ourbedrooms on livejournal. Inspiration. (Sorry if they are cut off or huge)

This Spring break, I hope to do something fun everyday. Of course, today was surfing the internet. I found this crazy site, check it out!

it's green..like our love

I have to sign up for courses for my next year in high school, and I am precarious about what I should sign up for, since I still do not know what I want to do out of high school. Of course, I am also going to be taking Drama, Choir, English, Pre Calculus, Vocal Jazz, Chamber Choir and History. I'm most likely taking Biology, but do I need Physics or Chemistry? I would also like to take a computer course, like multimedia, application or science. Oh, but which one to choose is a very difficult decision.

One of my best friends had a birthday bash a while ago, and I took a picture of the meal that I had in the morning, doesn't it look just delicious?

My past few weeks have been filled with performing, birthdays, movies, flirting, veggie samosas, Annie, chemistry, catching up in dance class, stefanie, improv, tests, and preparing.

This dress from American Apparel is simply darling! One of my dance classes was considering having this for our costume, and we ended up deciding against it. I probably would have gotten the serpent colour-the first one. It looks like such a sweet dress, I may have to get it once I get a job.

I wrote a poem at the end of February, and I'd love it if you'd give me some feedback. Well, here it is. It isn't titled yet, and I haven't really given it a working title.

i'd set the scene, but i don't recall
everything around us was noticed, but set aside.
like seashells, we lined the way to a magical depth
we didn't divulge
either of us
our shells beautiful, a work of art.
a cluster of jewels adorned my chest
and your hair was mussed from the faded wind

the sand under the bare skin of our feet was the foundation that kept us moving
the waves started out low, a playful game
a constant refreshing nudge
your lips parted into a smile and our hands joined as one, as if our hearts could be influenced.

with a breath of the ocean breeze, i faced your beautiful life
i realized it was impossible to get past the barrier.
it wasn't a fault, more like an obstacle,
yet our hearts just weren't in it
the waves seemed to rain over my thirsty body as i took it all,
and then,
conclusion.
the ending of it all.

coming back was the hardest to do,
the waves acting diabolical; a possessed heart monitor
and there i see it.
arms containing two bodies,
because nothing could be more unbreakable.
interlocking fingers and eyes was never this excruciating,
i am under the influence of your graceless charm.

then i think of the seashells,
the fear to dive in.
to swim in the ocean
is to love the unknown
and to love the unknown
is to love you.

Question of the Day: If you could travel to two places, where would you go?

I know that I've posted pictures of her before, but I just needed to again! Amy Diamond and I are probably secret twin sisters, we just aren't sure about it yet. Sorry if this is photo-heavy.

This whole outfit looks so cozy, but it doesn't looks bulky, like many cozy clothes can sometimes be when worn together.

Yes, I'm a bad girl. I want that sequinned jacket. I can't lose my love for glittery goodness, it's too hard! I had a pair of my friend's jeans for a while, and they were purple and somehow went with so many pieces of my wardrobe.

The fit of that shirtdress is so constructed and oddly designed that I fell in love with it. I also love the colour of it! As well, I really like her hair in all of these pictures, and I wish I had my lighter hair colour back sometimes, but then other times, I'm content with what I have right now.

Isn't that vest just amazing?

I really need a cardigan like this. I own a ratted up pink knit cardigan from Old Navy and a turquiose/teal one from who-knows-where. I have had my friend Beverley's gold cardigan for almost a month now, and I just love it! I'm excited to see what will happen when she grows out of it. A local improv team wears cardigans, and I am mighty envious.

This last picture makes me wish again for my old hair colour. If I had that dress, I'd spin around to watch everything move!

Last summer, I went to International Music Camp, also known as IMC. It was such a fantastic experience, and I am looking forward to (hopefully) returning in the upcoming summer. My school has the brochure hung up on the wall, and I was looking at it when I noticed that I was included in one of the photographs featured inside. It is also on this page of the website, and if you truly are wondering, I'm the one with the striped socks. We were supposed to dress in a way that expressed our personality, so I dressed in bright colours from head to toe, like a lot of people. http://www.internationalmusiccamp.com/dramainner.htm

I have been updating the playlist on my blog. I have added this one song that was written about me(well, not really) and it is called she'sgotstyle. Give it a listen, it's really good! And I'm not quite sure why the song 'Be Gentle With Me' hasn't been playing the full length of the song. It's probably just the original location of the music file.

Have a great week, my starry-eyed wanderers!

xxoo

amore suscrescente

Welcome back, Erin Meagan.

It seems like I've been gone for so long, hasn't it? Well, at least it feels like that to me! I am sorry for not posting in so long, I just couldn't! I was very overwhelmed! Another thing, I got tagged and awards(or maybe it was just the one award, I'm not too sure)from some of you moonlit bloggers! I cannot remember all of the people who have tagged me, so if you would please just remind me in the comments and I was go back to your blog and find the tag, I would be grateful. I have remembered some of them, and here they are!

I'm sure that Lottie gave me this tag, the one with the image! I love this one!
the rules
1. go to the 4th folder on your computer where you store your images
2. pick the 4th picture in the folder
3. explain the picture
4. tag 4 people to do the same

This is a photograph of me.

Taken by Bev.

I am wearing my fun tie dye dress, and the lighting looks really cool! Instead of tagging just four people, I am tagging everybody, so go and do it!

thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou! This new award is lovely, and oh, so delightful! Very special. I think that I am going to give it to my friend Tatiana, who is a pineapple monkey and can be found at http://discoveryourstory.blogspot.com/, and the creative http://insidethecabinetofwonder.blogspot.com/.

I spent my St. Valentine's day at a rehearsal for a show that I performed in last night, and then I went to a fabulous friend's house and we did plenty of fun stuff! How was your Valentine's day?

In September, I was privileged enough to see Rent: Filmed Live on Broadway in theatres! It was only playing for two days and the tickets were about 22 dollars. I went to see it with a few people I knew, and a few that I didn't know too well, but got to know better afterwards. Now it is released on DVD, and I highly recommend it. If you have seen the movie, you HAVE to see this. And if you haven't, I still think you should watch this, unless you really have something against musicals or something. In all seriousness though, the beauty of this musical was actually caught on the film, and I was so glad to be able to see it. I've seen it twice now, once in the theatre and once with my friend's DVD. I am going to go out and buy it as soon as I can.

Si puer cum puellula

moraretur in cellula,

felix coniunctio.

Amore succrescente,

pariter e medio

propulso procul taedio,

fit ludus ineffabilis

membris, lacertis, labiis.
If a boy with a girl
tarries in a little room,
happy is their coupling.
Love rises up,
and between them
prudery is driven away,
an ineffable game begins
in their limbs, arms and lips.

one hundred percent of you

I feel so bad for not blogging. It's not like I have been super busy, but I've just not had the time to write all of the things I want to. I promise that I will get to doing all of the tags that I have recieved, soon. I actually have bits and pieces of what I want to post saved as drafts, but I just can't seem to finish it. I promise though, soon.

That's a photo of me from last June.
It's the least I could do for not posting in so long, and besides the post would be boring without a photo to go along with it.

apology; maybe accepted.

I haven't posted in a week, and that is for a few reasons:

1-Exams

2-Jazz

3-Dance Class

4-My Mind

If I don't post now, I'm not sure when the next time this week will be. I have a math exam on Monday, and a Geography exam on Wednesday. I may be having a tea party on Thursday, and then over the weekend I'm going to be pretty busy with rehersals and seeing one of my best friends who I haven't seen in quite some time. Oh, and thank you to everyone so much for the comments! Last post so far has 20 comments, which is the most comments that I've ever received! I really enjoy reading your comments, and all of your blogs, so thank you, again.

Just some quick photos of hair that I wish I could have. Either found on weheartit, or just saved into my picture folder from a while ago.

Do you remember when I said a month ago that my friends Tatiana and Madison had made me a book? Well they actually made me two, and these are pictures of the second one. Isn't it just darling? And don't I look adorable? I wish my hair could be like that!

Hanna Beth. Miss Hanna Beth. If you know of her, you probably know of her as a scene queen. That's not even why I like her style/look. Sometimes her makeup is a bit much, but what else would you expect from a scene queen? We are both close to the same height, and I think that it is cool that she gets modelling jobs and such with her height. My friend Stefanie told me that we look similar..but I'm not too sure about that. We are about 5 years apart too. What do you think(for those of you who know me personally, you probably will know a little bit better)? I'm going to post some pictures of her.

[1]


I love the dress that she is wearing to pieces! I just wish I could have it in my closet! I'm not crazy about her shoes, but I like the accessories she's wearing with the dress. And cmon, CUPCAKES!?

[2]

The keychains on her phone are INSANE!

[3]

This is a more chic, laid-back outfit, and I love her hair, which she also has in the next picture.

[4]


I must learn how to do my hair like this! I think that it looks so awesome!

[5]

This dress is magical! And her hair is gorgeous there, extensions or not, it doesn't make a difference to me.

[6]


This is more classy, and less colourful than what she normally wears. The makeup is neutral too. Oh, and again, her hair is amazing.

[7]

I don't have a link to the other pictures from this shoot, sorry, but in other shots you could probably see the dress a bit better. This dress is fabulous, and the headband really adds something. I don't know if she looks like me though.

[8]

This makes me smile. I love the shelf in the background!

[9]

Her and her friend both just look good. I like Hanna's headband, and normally I'm not a huge fan of those headbands.

[10]

I love this picture, and I love her shirt. Her hair looks so cute!

I had a dream sometime this past week, and it included a lot of things. The things that stood out the most was a waterslide, a strange bird, ice cream, a drama teacher and two friends that I have recently befriended. When you dream about being on or seeing a waterslide, it can suggest that you are being swept away by your emotions. It could also mean that you are going with the flow of things without any resistance. When you have a dream that has deformed or odd birds, it can be indicating that you have a unique perspective on romance and love. It can also represent a lack of understanding in 'affairs of the heart'. To see or eat ice cream in a dream represents pleasure and satisfaction in your life. It shows savouring the moment and enjoying it. It also indicates good luck and success in love. Seeing a teacher in a dream can mean that you are seeking advice, or approval. Seeing friends in a dream signifies parts of your personality that you have tried to bash, but are now ready to accept and incorporate into your life. It can also mean that there will be good news. That is a lot of different meanings for a lot of different things. The scary thing is, they actually make sense to my life right now. Does things like that ever happen to you? Freaky.

I should be going now, because I have a lot of studying to do, which really does suck. First, I think I'll get some hot chocolate with mini marshmallows, and maybe some easy listening music. If any of you have exams, I hope that they go well for you, and me as well.

today is a very good day

So far, I'm having a good day. Some of you may be able to guess why, but the reason for my gladness doesn't really matter. Maybe I'll tell you why later. Haha, I'm being such a tease. Something really cool happened last night. Cool is not even close to being the right word, but it will have to do. I was in my room texting a few people, and then I walked over to my bed and plopped down. The word plopped reminds me of elementary school and my friend Jenna, so I try to use it whenever I can. Anyways, when I sat there on the bed, I noticed something really strange. The air all of a sudden had a blast of sparkage soaring through the air, and it was almost as if it were magic causing this to happen. Of course, it was just the air flow from when I sat down on my bed. You see, I have a glass of glitter in my bedroom(or fairy dust, you never know) and I forgot to put the piece of material over top of it, in case of spillage. So there was glitter flying everywhere in my room, making everything shimmer, and then I saw that it was 11:11, and that made the moment even more magical. I hope my wish comes true.

I'm going to now post a bunch of pictures(kind of inspired by Tiffany, kind of just because it came to mind) of rooms that inspire me/that i want/that i wish i had/that are awesome. I also got a photo tag and I promise to do it soon!

I had a dream today. One of the bigger concepts of it was a plane ride. That indicates searching for freedom, adventure, and reaching for higher levels of success. As weird as this may sound, my dream also included eggs, which could mean that something new is about to happen in my life. It indicates possibilities opening up and inner potentials.

Something interesting for me to think about.
