moleskine 2012 large weekly planner+notes, two door cinema club: tourist history, me



Yesterday, I made some new purchases. I bought myself a Moleskine 2012 large weekly planner+notes, because one of my New Year resolutions is to be more organized (and also stop procrastinating, which will be a hard, hard habit to break) and I thought that by buying a nice Moleskine agenda for myself, I'd write in it more often (well, more often than my ugly school agenda, that is) and hopefully stay organized and not have to text everyone and ask them when tests and quizzes are (yes, I do that... quite often...). Also, I decided to pop into hmv and I noticed that the Two Door Cinema Club Tourist History CD was on sale for $10 so I bought it. Haha. And then I took a picture of myself and decided to stick in it this post as a nice little gift to you all. Just kidding. I hope I don't hurt your eyes too much.

I would've taken better pics but I was way too lazy to pull out my camera and I had my phone in hand and I was like whatever.

Speaking of staying organized, I think I should start on my homework. I just realized that the break ends soon (on January 3) and I haven't exactly done much (if anything). If I could even remember what homework I have. God.

P.S. I can see myself in the reflection of the CD in the third picture. Haha I'm lame.

merry christmas!

ghostkore, me

It's Christmas Eve! I swear, time is going by way too fast. Somehow at school, it still kind of feels like October, you know, everything still being new and fresh (okay, I didn't know what words to use) even though it's winter break. But as it turns out, we're almost halfway through the school year. It's kind of depressing to me, because I feel like I haven't been able to actually enjoy my time and savour the moments while they last, and rather, I'm just all stressed out, waiting for days to end.

But on a happier note, it's my mom's side Christmas dinner tonight! I'm super excited because I get all my presents tonight. Ahh I can't wait! And tomorrow evening is my dad's side Christmas dinner.

Man, 2011 is ending soon, and we're almost in 2012. Does that mean the end of the world? Oh well. As my math teacher says, "if the world does end in 2012, at least you don't have to do anymore math."

misery

misery (1990)

Here are various stills from the movie version of Misery (1990). Yesterday (but then again it's past midnight so I suppose I should say two days ago) I finished reading Misery by Stephen King, which is the first novel I have ever read by this author. This is going on my list of favourite books. I really enjoyed this novel, although there were some parts that were quite gruesome reading it (by hey, that totally adds to the whole creepiness/weirdness of Annie Wilkes). But um to be honest I really don't know how to describe something I read. I mean, I see it all the time - novel reviews or, like, a brief, nicely written paragraph outlining the reader's opinion of the story. I just can't seem to do that. All I can say is that I thought it was really interesting. Okay.

And no, I haven't watched the film version yet. I think I should. I mean, now that I've actually read the novel, I'm tempted to see how the images I pictured in my head while reading compare to the actual film. I actually did not even dare to look at how the characters from the film looked like or how anything looked like whatsoever because I didn't want to corrupt my mind. Hm, I think corrupt is actually I good way of describing this. What I'm getting at is that I prefer to read the book first without having the slightest clue as to how anything in the film looks like, and then watch the film to compare everything to how I had imagined it. If I were to watch the film before reading the book, then as I read, all the characters in my head would be the exact same people portraying the characters in the film, and I find that kind of dull. That's all.

Today (or should I say yesterday), I borrowed two more novels by Stephen King. I borrowed Bag of Bones and The Mist. I saw that A&E is having some sort of two-part special that's like a movie-adaptation-type-thing of Bag of Bones which got me interested in reading the book. The Mist, however, I just picked up randomly, and I'm hoping it's just as good. I don't think I'll have much time to read these during this week or next week, but these books aren't due till January, so I'll have winter break to read them, I suppose.

I simply love this song.

It just has something so seductive and beautiful about it.

blue are the feelings that live inside me

I really, really, really, really, really want these. Sigh. I really want (correction: need) a denim jacket and oh my goodness these Urban Renewal ones are so perfect. You know that feeling where you see a piece of clothing online that you really want but you know you can never get it so it makes your heart ache? Well that's how I feel about the denim jacket with the lace inset. Wahh it's perfect but it's online only and my parents don't let me buy things online (bummer). But I read in the reviews that apparently (since it's Urban Renewal) the jacket that most people received looked very different from the picture on the website, like it's darker wash. But still. As much as I would love it in this light wash colour, a darker wash wouldn't be that bad. I NEED THIS. Wah.

And the fisherman denim jacket fdlsgkslhff can I say perfection?! But then again, I'm slightly on the edge about this because I don't think I can pull it off. Sigh. Hopefully it's in store so I can try it on or something because golly it's gorgeous (oh god I said golly). OOH this Sunday I'm volunteering downtown at the Santa Clause Parade by collecting donations of non-perishable foods etc from people for the foodbank. My volunteering shift is done at 3 pm so I think I'm going to go to UO after! Yay

no love

thrifted shirt, h&m cardigan, uo shorts, uo tights

Here is a shitty picture of the outfit I wore two day ago. I wore a pair of brown ankle boots with this by the way. Um that's about it, I mean this is kind of boring.

Anyway (I just realized I talked about this in a previous post but w/e) I have no idea what I'm doing with my life. I honestly don't. I kind of have an interest in architecture, but I'm not taking a drafting class so now basically my hopes are crushed. Right now I'm taking science courses. I don't even know if I want to go into sciences. I don't even know what I want to do. Ughhh

Oh and also I'm volunteering at the mall at a gift wrapping service. I signed up for so many shifts, I'm not even kidding. I'm going to be volunteering three times a week (afterschool and weekend) between next week til the 24th of December. I calculated that I'll be getting 60 hours of volunteering/service from this! Yayaayyay. And no, I'm not doing this for fun. Well I kind of. I'm doing this for leadership class because I need 25 hours of service per term or 75 hours by the end of the school year. Fun. But hey at least gift wrapping is fun.
