Tis the Season.

I'm too scared that someone will steal this if I put it outside. I'm probably crazy.
Happy Halloween! ;)

Bangs.

It's been such a long time since I've posted on here, I usually forget to do so, unfortunately. :|
I've missed two weeks of Music Thursday, but, what are you gonna do?

On an awesome note, I finally decided to take the plunge and was able to convince my sister to give me bangs. I'm in love with them, much more than I had anticipated.

Here's a before and after picture:

And here's pictures from today. I just got this headband from Forever 21, and I wasn't completely sure when I bought it, but now I'm obsessed with it. ;) (I'm also 12 and take a lot of mirror pictures now.)

Hope you're all having a great week, I'm looking forward to the weekend myself.

Stylish Surprise.

I also forgot to tell you guys that I got my package from Mod Cloth in the mail today. I paid $15 to get a stylish surprise, and ended up getting this pretty cute dress. It's not something I'd choose for myself, but it DOES have a bow, it was cheap, and for that price I can make it work. ;) I paired it with the twisting tree necklace I also got in today.

Music Thursday!

Man, it truly does not feel like it's been a week since I've done this. Time has been flying by, and I can't believe my Spring Break is almost over. Time to get back on track with reality, I suppose.
Today I leave you with two videos of two wonderful songs.

Fire and Rain by James Taylor. A great artist, and a fantastic song.

Everlong (Acoustic) by Foo Fighters. I've always enjoyed the song Everlong, but just recently discovered the acoustic version... and am so glad I did.

I hope you all have a fabulous weekend! We just got Netflix back, so I will be spending mine watching Skins, The Office, and Mad Men. ;)

Music Thursday.

So I haven't been on here much, and there's really not much a reason for that besides having nothing too interesting to write about currently... and I forgot about doing this last Thursday, whoops!

Currently I have been wanting to watch P.S. I Love You so much, and so I have. I love that movie, it makes me laugh and it makes me cry (a lot!). If you haven't seen it, I suggest checking it out. Anyways, they ended the movie with such a fitting song, and so I've been listening to that frequently. It's called If I Ever Leave This World Alive by Flogging Molly. My sister really likes this band, and I never really liked them at all, so it's surprising how much I love this song, but I do. I really really love it. I have listened to it 50 times within a couple of days.
If I ever leave this world alive
I'll take on all the sadness
That I left behind
If I ever leave this world alive
The madness that you feel will soon subside
So in a word don't shed a tear
I'll be here when it all gets weird
If I ever leave this world alive

I found this next song while scrolling through Tumblr. I don't always stop and listen to songs that I don't know, but sometimes I'll take the time to listen, and I'm glad I did with this one. This is one of those bands where I've heard a few of their songs, and I like them, but I haven't listened to too many. But this song is so beautiful, I Want to Know Your Plans by Say Anything. According to SongMeanings.net, I have an alternate version of the song, but I like the lyrics more than the original. 

I want to know your plans and how involved in them I am 

When you leave for good this fall will I be forgiven 

And if you want roses, I'll buy a bouquet 

If that just won't cut it, well what can I say 

You're what keeps me believing this world's not long dead 

Strength in my bones and the words in my head

The last song that I'm doing for today is by a band that I love, and this song is on repeat whenever I'm in a not so happy mood. Yes, I like to wallow in my sadness. Maybe that's odd, maybe not, but either way it's what I do. This song just strikes a chord with me, I can relate to it very well. Isaac Brock, you are a genius! The World at Large by Modest Mouse is one of my favorites. It's high in my Top 25 Most Played on my iTunes. I can't choose a small section of lyrics to post from this song, so it'll be longer than usual, but enjoy it! These lyrics are gold. GOLD.

The days get shorter and the nights get cold
I like the autumn but this place is getting old

I pack up my belongings and I head for the coast 
It might not be a lot but I feel like I'm making the most

The days get longer and the nights smell green 
I guess it's not surprising, but it's spring and I should leave

I like songs about drifters, books about the same, 
They both seem to make me feel a little less insane

Walked on off to another spot, I still haven't gotten anywhere that I want

Did I want love? Did I need to know? 
Why does it always feel like I'm caught in an undertow?

The moths beat themselves to death against the lights, adding the breeze to the summer nights

Outside, water like air was great, I didn't know what I had that day

Walk a little farther to another plan, you said that you did, but you didn't understand

I know that starting over's not what life's about, 
But my thoughts where so loud I couldn't hear in my mouth

I didn't mean to end this post on a somber note, but it looks like that's what's happening.
You know those songs that you feel you could've written (not as well, of course) because it's how you feel exactly? Yeah, that song needed to be posted for that reason. I do hope everyone has a good day, my Spring Break has officially begun, so I have much to look forward to. :)

Valentine.

Happy Valentines everyone,

Sunday Date Night.

So, if you know me, then you know that I love vampires. (Who doesn't these days?) 

So I've been wanting to see the new Underworld since it came out. I was quite bummed after the third was released because I figured it would be the last one, and I was especially bummed since Selene is one of my favorite characters and she wasn't in it, so you can only imagine my excitement when I found out about Underworld: Awakening! I planned on going with my sister and waited for her, but she's always busy and I didn't want to miss it in theaters, so I took myself out tonight. Sometimes it's nice to go out alone, and I really enjoy it every now and then. Since I don't have a Valentine this year, I took myself out on a date to the 3D showing tonight and grabbed some nachos and a frozen coke. It was a lovely date, and besides, you really must love yourself before you can others, right? :)

Happy Valentine's Day! 

xoxo
