Day 06 → Whatever tickles your fancy



I just got back from seeing Sherlock Holmes. Robert Downey Jr. continues to be my boyfriend. Go support my one twoo luv and see this movie.

On a related note, I insanely want this poster like woah.

Merry Christmas, everybody.

Day 05 → Your favorite quote

Hmm... This one took some time to reflect. But then I remembered an occasion when I was going through a very hard time. I woke up to another presumably awful day when I found my mom bought me a pack of dry erase markers and had written on my mirror a Maya Angelou quote.

"I love to see a young girl go out and grab the world by the lapels. Life's a bitch. You've got to go out and kick ass."

I started to feel better after reading that.

Day 04 → Your favorite book

Hands down, Peter Pan. It has been since I was fairly little.



Especially this version that I own, which has over 50 oil paintings inside the pages done by Scott Gustafson. I know these pictures almost as well as the story of eternal youth, cockeyed innocence, flying, game, adventures with pirates, mermaids, Native Americans, the lost boys...

It's perfect in every way. It makes me feel at home, it makes me feel complete, it makes me feel connected, it makes me warmhearted, it makes me clap my hands because I do believe in fairies! I do, I do, I do!

Day 03 → Your favorite television program

Six Feet Under changed my life and opened up my mind. It introduced me to Michael C. Hall, gave me more epicness with Carla's brother Marco, and started a dream of Topanga Canyon residency. It was perfectly written and beautifully shot.



I fucking love this show.

Day 13 → A fictional book

I assume this means fiction rather than a book that doesn't actually exist? Anyway, I finally got around to reading this:

... and I didn't get the fuss? The writing was wonderful but I was just waiting for something to happen the whole time.

( Days 14 - 30 )

I feel like all I do is pull people down. I used to believe in nice things, but I don't think I do anymore. I believe in the Maybes and One Days and I don't think it's enough like it used to be.

I don't like this negative space I have surrounding me, but I don't think it's going away.

All I have around me are people who want me to follow them or don't want to follow me and I've adapted into this loner to compensate. I need to get away from everyone I know. I need to be forgotten by everyone who knows me; it feels like it's heading that direction anyway and it sounds less painful if I accept it.

Maybe this is just my traditional holiday blues talking, but I don't know... Nothing I've ever thought around this time of year made me this sad before. Words and advice make me feel about the same as no recognition at all. It no longer feels real anywhere around me.

I seriously just got honked at because I was turning right into my complex, with my blinker on, because the guy behind me was tailgating and didn't have time to react.

Honked. At ME. Next time this happens, I'm putting the car in park and I don't care what comes of it.

Fuck this day and fuck the human race and fuck this week; this little moment alone perfectly sums up how working during the holiday season has gone for me so far. I hope Christmas brings the Apocalypse and I can watch Tempe burn from my rooftop with a margarita in my hand.

Christmas hasn't been about joy and peace on earth and good will towards man for so long and now I get to experience that firsthand, pretty much directed exactly at me, working at corporate America.

Santa Claus is dead to me all over again.

Day 01 → Your favorite song.

( Up next... )

While I love so many songs, finding a favorite is not that hard for me. Panic at the Disco's That Green Gentleman (Things Have Changed).



I don't know why, but this song just came out at the right time for me. It was something I needed to hear and it quickly became my anthem. It still is, and I guess my explanation really is as simple as that.

I'm so fucking tired. I thought breaks meant I got time to sleep. Apparently, not when you work retail and getting an abundance of nanny/housekeeper hours.

Plan on catching up with my flist in the morning. But for now, meet my friend Dan. Watch his video. He's the kid with the awesome reaction shots.







P.S.
Teachers, stop being lazy assholes and post my grades. You've had all my work for over an entire week. The deadline to have them in is tomorrow.

Jesus, why does ASU suck so much in every way imaginable?

La Défense, Paris (taken from the top of L'Arc de Triomphe). Most beautiful sunset I have seen in my life.

( Days 10 - 30 )

This book is too precious beyond words. After reading it, it makes you stand up straighter (especially if you get a good night's sleep on top of that).

I went and saw The Princess and the Frog last weekend, and I already want to go see it again. A few more times. It made me a child again, spirited, hungry, it made me relate to the new princess possibly more than any of the previous ones, and want to dance and become a New Orleans resident.

Oh, and then there was him...



Sorry Beast, Prince Naveen has dethroned you as my favorite Disney Prince. I can see myself ending up with someone most like him... Constantly making me exasperated. But he can dance and is bumbly when in love, so that's okay.

GO SEE IT!







Oh, also, officially meet my favorite Disney Villain.



What a fabulous badass.
