What a year!!!

Im not really good at making top 10 lists. Mostly because I am very indecisive and I cant narrow it down to 10. Also because I feel bad listing things between one through ten, like rating things. You can always give the disclaimer "in no particular order..." but everyone knows the best thing always goes at number 1.

So with that being said here is the best moments for me in 2010! Maybe a few more to come this week but if so, Ill list those for next year...

Tutu party in January! Birthdays are always so great. Sundance! Me and Alex and B made the trip and it was interesting for a few hours! Alkaline Trio was sooo much fun, definitely one of the best shows I have been to. I got a lot of tattoos this year, stuff worked on my arms (Sister tattoos!), legs, ankles, etc...New Found Glory was also a very very good show! A lot of that had to do with the company! B's Bday with Alice in Wonderland!! Had a good St Patricks Day (met a lot of cute boys that night, haha!)Bowling w/ CC! We had some way cute pictures that night too! So fun! Jackson was born!! One of the handsome-est little boys I have ever seen. Seriously though. Kimi's annual bday at the park! Always a good time, starting the summer off. I moved in to a brand new apartment... all by myself. San Francisco!! What an adventure. Lots of craziness, but lots of fun as well. Brooklyn turned 1! These kids are growing up way too fast! I started a new job (same place, different department) Still learning lots of great stuff! I love it! Halloween in July! Clubs are kinda fun sometimes, and this was one of the times! Summer concerts like: She & Him, Big Boi, Modest Mouse.. Beve getting married! Couldnt be happier for them! They are the greatest and I love them so much! The beginning of LOVE for a few us, found some really good boys to hang out with! WNO dinner with the girls! Timothy being born! I havent had the pleasure of meeting him yet, but the pictures are adorable! Halloween in Jackson Hole! Probably the best costumes ever. Me and B as skeletons, Al as Amy Winehouse, Bekky as Lady Gaga, Steve as a banana... need I say more? Tara McPherson I love her stuff!! So glad I went. HP7 Cant wait for the next one! My Birthday! Ugh dont like turning older but I like spending time with great people. Good Holidays, the pictures speak for themselves!

I was in such a different place a year ago, I would have never in my wildest dreams imagine myself here. I think thats a good thing though and I am happy things have turned out for me, and for my friends. They all seem to be in good places as well. I can only hope for the best for all of us and we will see if 2011 is as big of an adventure as this year was!

I would want to re-live all the good times again... and forget the bad!

Jammin some tunes!

I am looking forward to lots of good stuff coming up!
These shows should be pretty fun!

besties!

Me and all of my friends decided that instead of doing gifts this year that we would all get together and enjoy each others company! No gifts just good times! I had it at my place since I needed a kick in the buns to get some furniture and actually get my apartment looking like a real home. I got it all done (about 15 minutes before everyone came over...) And it turned out great! I am so happy so many could make it and I got to see so many lovely faces! Great Holiday party and on to a great new year!!

Christmas 2010

Photobucket
Christmas was fantastic this year! Honestly, I dont think I have ever had a bad Christmas, because I have always had such good friends and family, but every year it seems to get better and better.
I got to spend time with this handsome fellow.
Photobucket
I got some really great presents from my beautiful mom. Who also did a great job cooking me some really delicious food. (And is always so gracious when I want to try new vegan/vegetarian recipes)
Photobucket
And my amazing little sister got ENGAGED! I am so excited for her. She deserves so much happiness and I cant wait for her to start the rest her life!

Great stuff all around!

Harry Potter forever!

I havent really talked about any of my tattoos on here. No specific reasons as to why not or anything. But now I have a great reason to do it! I got this little beauty just a little bit a go and I have had to tell everybody about it! I LOVE Harry Potter so much (like you didnt know already) and I am so happy to have this.
Next appointment is going to be the Golden Snitch on my other leg. Cant wait.

Christmas list... (v.2)

Its almost Christmas! Now that the obvious is stated I would like to make a list of some things I would like to find under the non-existent tree at my house. I compiled a list earlier, but I forgot to add these items, and of course this list is never ending... at least until I get all of these things.

3rd Annual Christmas lights night!

Photobucket
Every year me and my sister go and see Christmas lights at various places around Salt Lake, and yes we are lazy girls and prefer lights were we dont have to get out of the car. This year (and last year) we went to Thanksgiving Point and it was great! And for 2 bucks you get these awesome 3D glasses and they turn all the lights into snowflakes. Of course we have to start the night off with some delicious hot chocolate... (the funny thing I think this is the first year we actually remembered to get hot chocolate before we see the lights... haha!)Photobucket

It was fun to just turn the radio on to Christmas music and enjoy the drive.

already my favorite

Bring on the tissues ladies! I know we are going to see this (a few times) and I plan on getting all up my emotions over it. The trailer already puts a crack in my heart. I can.not. wait for it to come out.


Not to mention Ryan Gosling has been my actor crush for a very long time and Michelle Williams is such a doll. I know this is going to be good.

12 days til Christmas...

Photobucket

Dang, that went by fast!

Ask me if I have any Christmas shopping done... the answer is no.

Ask me if I have watched any Christmas movies... the answer is no.

Ask me if I have seen any Christmas lights... the answer is... no.

I have a lot to do next week!

Mister Heavenly...

Im not ashamed to admit the only reason I went to see Mister Heavenly at Kilby Court was to see that great little kanook that is Michael Cera. I probably would have been very disappointed in my self if I didnt go just to get a glimpse of his adorable face... The music wasnt that bad either. I dont know if I will listen to them, but it was fun and entertaining while I was there. Apparently its a super band, but I dont really know who any of the other guys were and as stated before, I wasnt really there for the music, just there for George Michael. They had a sound similar to Modest Mouse, obviously with a guy from that particular band, so maybe I will give them another shot, or maybe I will just look at this picture in silence...

How can you not love that smile? Funny that he played bass and thats what he played in Scott Pilgram vs The World and Nick and Nora's infinite playlist.

best christmas song ever?

picturez.

I got these books this weekend and they are super fantastic. I suggest you check em out as well, but only if you like cool art and stuff that is bad ass.
This first one I saw on the internet and then to my surprise they had it at Barnes and Noble and I snatched it up as soon as I saw it!

I knew of a few of the artists that are listed in it: Mike Giant, James Jean, Christopher Lee...
But there were some that I had no idea about and I am gladly learning as much as I can: Alex Pardee,

Also this picture by Grotesk is great!

Lost Constellations/ The Art of Tara McPherson
is sweet as well. (which I already knew it would be) I slightly talked about her art before, mostly just how she came to slc. She was super nice though and her pictures have the prettiest pinks, beiges, and greens around.

Great buys I must say!

changes!

Photobucket

I think I am going to make some changes to my blog. If I was me and I saw it, Im not to sure I would read it. Its cute and all but not very entertaining. I think I just want to make it more interesting and have some substance...
I think I want to have on it stuff that I want to learn more about i.e. artists &/or art publications, music, fashion, Salt Lake City, books, websites & blogs, music, etc.

I also need to change the format. It needs the wow factor.

Lets see what I can figure out...

ha!

Dear girlfriend,
Please forgive me. I just bought a ring. I'm afraid to give it to you, because I know eventually you will die, which will break my heart.
Sincerely, sir.

Dear person reading this, You're here because you're actively procrastinating or avoiding real work, aren't you? It's OK...me too.
Sincerely, I'll work tomorrow.

Dear Facebook, Just wait, one day they'll abandon you as well.
Sincerely, Myspace.


Ha! An adorable friend tweet'd about this site and I have looking at it all day...

frida!

I watched this movie last night and it was so good. I was surprised about how much I liked it. I couldnt stop watching from the moment it was on. I thought it would be one of those movies that you turn on more or less for background noise so that way you can get other stuff done. Needless to say, I had to stop making the cookies to watch this and finish after.

http://www.spike.com/video/frida-trailer/2454583

I have always known about Frida, especially because I love Surrealism and she put in this category very often. I just never had any motivation to learn more about her or to find out her art. I am glad I watched this though. I am definitely intrigued to learn more and find out as much as I can. A lot of my great friends have always raved about Frida and now I know what all the fuss is about.
