We Heart it

Jane Eyre

Ah! This movie comes out in the next weekend or two and I think its going to be great! Its like a modern (kind of creepy) twist on an old classic.



I unfortunately never read the book (booo! me) But I have it! and I plan on reading it as soon as I get done w/ Never Let Me Go. For some retarded reason I never read any classics... Catcher in the Rye, Wuthering Heights, A Tale of Two Cities.. Well you get the idea. I have started a collection of some of them though, so as soon as I get some free time... and I dont have any shows to watch... or anything else to do, you can bet I will be all over them.

I am looking forward to swimming ALOT this summer. Soaking up the sun, splashing through the warm water, skipping rocks, and tiptoing through the sand. Its going to be fun.

tv

I know I am really, really late on this one but me and the bf are going to start watching Lost. I have seen a few episodes here and there and I never really got into it, but I have heard nothing but really good things about it so I figured I might as well try it on for size. Plus its streaming on netflix watch instantly so why not?!
Finally I will be able to see what all the fuss is about. I know it was pretty much done by JJ Abrams and all of his stuff is really interesting to watch even if it is kind of nerdy, and I dont know if I woud call myself a fantasy nerd but I definitely am a nerd, so I' sure it will be entertaining.

telemundo

Photobucket
One of the freakin cutest shows ever! Its a mix of sweet and macabre. Honestly, I could watch this show with the mute on and still be intrigued by it. I think the basis of the show is a really cool idea and it has a lot of neat random twists and turns, but its not too confusing and its not a show you have to watch every week to know whats going on. Plus it always makes you hungry for more, not just because of the pies but because of the super bright colors and great styling and set design. I also need to mention a great cast (Hello Kristin Chenoweth!) The end of the series was finished in a comic book which I havent had a chance to pick up yet, but I am planning on getting it as soon as I can. Its streaming on Netflix now and its definitely worth a few hours.

remember me?

A year ago today is when the sweet relationship that I have right now (kind of) started.
Me and Alex went to this place called 5 monkeys to see some bands play and just hang out because we didnt have anything else going on, and we wanted to go out and have a fun St. Patty's Day. Well after being lost up on the east side forever we finally found the place and the night began. We saw lots of cute boys and met some really great people that night. There were a few guys there that I had known for a long time but because of time and other things going on, I hadnt talked to them in quite a bit. Since we were having a hoot, I figured why not say something. So I said to my boy "hey! remember me?!" and he said "yeah, how could I forget" what a sweetie! Except I had a red bull in my hand and he asked "whoa, do you drink now?" to which I replied "nope" and then he said "oh, that would have been cool" Of course after that all I could think to myself was oh gawd, why did I even say anything. The night continued on and me and Al had the best time we could have had.
So for some un known reason I still decided to hang out with him and it was actually a lot more fun than I expected. The first time we hung out I went to his band space and we caught up on all the stuff that had been going on for the past few years. It was pretty neat to see how many different directions our lives had taken us. We continued to talk and have fun and he always made me feel good about myself and seemed to genuinely care about me. We hung out through the summer and things got more serious as fall crept up. The funny thing is that I knew that he always liked me but I didnt really know to what extent, until I started hanging out with his friends more and more and I would constantly hear "youre victoria weve heard so much about?", "youre the girl hes always talkin about?", and "he loves you so much" haha and all I could say was "yep, its me".
Things have progressed naturally and they seem to have just gotten better and better. We have some different views on certain things but the main thing that matters is that we both have a great understanding on what we want in life, we love our friends and family tremendously, and we just want to have fun and enjoy whats around us. Its been an interesting year and I wouldnt want it any other way.

mmm... wheatgrass!

When I say mmmm.... I really mean blech!


Its not that its a disgusting taste, its just that it tastes just like grass (probably because thats what it is) but its great for you!

tv!

I technically dont have "tv" at my house... I have two tv's but I dont have channels, so no cable, satellite, or basic channel surfing. However I do have the greatest invention ever which is Netflix. The best thing is that they have tv shows to instantly stream, no commercial interruptions, and you can watch anytime your heart desires.
Well recently I have been taking advantage of this nifty little feature and I have been watching a ton of great shows.

The one I want to talk about today is Skins (UK version)
Photobucket

I know I am a little late to this party but hey at least I arrived. Anways, I am in love with this show. I didnt think it was a lot like American teen shows were their lives are almost too perfect and unrealistic, obviously some of the stuff on this show isnt what everyday life is like since some of them go to prep schools, etc, but a lot of it is. Its not too made up. Its fresh and new (and its even been around for awhile) Ive only seen the first season so far, but I am already planning time to continue on to however many there are. I think this cast changes after the 2 or 3rd season, but Ill still give it a watch even after that. I refuse to watch the US version though, why fix something thats not broken, or rather watch something that you know isnt going to be good and has been done before.

Happy Birthday B!!

I am happy to have a best friend like you. I cant even count how many good times we have had together, how many times we have laughed until our stomachs hurt, and how many times we have stayed up passed the crack of dawn being the coolest people ever. Its been fantastic knowing you as long as I have and I am looking forward to many, many, many more great times.

totes a goat

Photobucket
If I had a house I would totally get a goat. (not to mention a lot of other small animals, but thats another post all together) Goats are great though! And I dont mean like scary mountain goats, or hail satan goats, just cute little billy goats. They are way super cute, really fun to have around, and pretty environmentally friendly! Its a win/win all around.

The goal of mine eventually is to be in a career where it wont really matter what I look like as long as I do a good job. AND since I am going into environmental studies I am hoping I have a better chance there than anywhere else.
