Happy Valentines Day....

But what's really happy about it. I mean, its a day for hallmark to earn some money. Its really honestly pointless on the Holidays scale, right above Ground Hogs Day (definatly the most pointless holiday) and right below Boxing Day (just because two holidays in a row is a great thing...haha). So you've guessed by now that I really don't like this day....Its just another day of the year and if you love someone, you shouldn't devote a day to it, you should celebrate your love all year round. <3

In other news, I've just gotten back from the town where my family is moving too. I saw their new house (I love it...but they're hiring people to add on and put a room in the attic and two others in the basement). They'll be moving out here sometime during the summer. I won't actually say the towns name (and I was going to put pictures) but honestly, I think that's a little creepy, so I'm not going to. However, I'll leave you with a picture taken a few winters ago when I used to ski race.

Two Things

1- I'm cutting back on my blogging. Like one or two posts a week.

2- I made a life changing decision, or am making it, or trying to decide if I want to make it. But its big...actually huge. And I'll let you know if/when I've made this decision.

I made this decision and if you really want to know IM. After a lot of thought I've decided what I need to decide. And its done. And not that amazing. Morena, thanks for the chat. I less than three you. ( I <3 you)

I'm starting to think that therapy may be a good idea again.

I'm legal!




and registered to vote. Nothing much else. Woke up with a hurting knee (from not wearing my brace skiing) so I took some Aleeve and left for school. And tonight I'm going to dinner with Ethan. And that's it....nothing else going on.

Talk to you all soon!

White Horse - WATCH IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!




Thank you CMT for giving us this. Let's do the play by play.

1-love the rain
2-love the mouth close ups and how there's actually a story line
3-no heart tatoo on her foot like there usually is. i know she draws it on, but i'd like to see it.
4-love the light vs dark contrast, which equals happy and love vs sad and heartbreak, and taylor and stephen colletti (SO FREAKING HOT)
5-the friend should have been Abigail.
6-I kinda feel like she's wearing a guys sweater
7-2:33 - He's in trouble!
8-3:30 to the end. Amazing.
9-Her crying could have been more dramatic.
10-Watching it made me cry. It felt like the worst heartbreak over and over again.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I freaking love it. Its her best yet. She did so good on this. WATCH IT!!!


In other news, my sister never showed. Which pisses me off. Typical. But I said I wouldn't get my hopes up over it, and I did just a bit. And once again I am diaspointed to the extreme. When you make a promise to someone, keep it.

So that's it. You know what really makes me mad is the fact that the best selling solo artist of 2008 got snubbed by all and go no nominations. From album (8 weeks on Billboard Top 200 and 12 Weeks on the Country Charts) and most digital dowloads ("Our Song" just passed like the 3 million mark, and "Love Story" is double platinum.) and outsold EVERY one else didn't get any Grammy Nods. Oh well, 2009 is the year that Taylor Swift dominates. Her tour is already on sale for some locations and the first venue sold out in less than 48 hours.

But she is performing at the Grammy's....Fifteen. One of the best songs on the album. However, she's doing it with Miley Cyrus. Horribleness. Taylor, I though better of you. Sinking that low to someone who soundds like a man and cannot dance. If Miley murders the song, I'll cry. Honestly.

3 to 18 - BIRTHDAY WEEKEND


Found it on Flickr.

I cannot believe its finally here. YAY! Yet, I have no plans...well, kinda. Tonight, I'm doing all my schoolwork. Then tommarow, my sister called, she's in Toronto and is flying down and staying with friends here in NY for awhile and then she's off to anywhere, and she's coming down. As much as I'm mad at her, I'm glad I get to see her. So we're going to hangout and then go to dinner that night with friends, hers and mine. I'll probably have to end up paying. And then Sunday, its upstate to go skiing (YAY!!!) and then home. First thing in the AM, I'm buying a lotto ticket and registeting to vote.

Its so COLD here. ugh. I'm under my snuggie, and a down comforter.

5 to 18. *She dances inspite...

Of the fact that she's different, but yet she's the same.* - Taylor Swift, Lucky You.


Playing guitar...I lost my pics.


ice through a window


The bruised hand...some day around Jan 4.



Ummm there was more I was going to put up, but I can't seem to find them....anyhoo. Nothing else to report today.

6 to 18 - Yuck


PhotoCredit-Me
Of- taken from my chest looking up with my bathroom mirrors all turned together. I really loved how the lights look.

Ummm so the snowy-slushy-mess is digusting. I came home, showered, and then now I'm under my Snuggie. They aren't as goofy/stupid/pointless as they look.

I loved my outfit today. I got so many compliments one it. Oh, I should tell you what it is, dark wash skinny jeans, lace trim cami, knee high brown leather boots, white button down with various bracelets and lots of necklaces. I kinda looked like I was set for the stables. Haha.

I'm getting my hair done. I'm excited. But kinda scared about what'll happen to it.

7 to 18 *Did I mention the iTouch?*


Photo Credit - me
Of - me
Taken - last week

I also changed the blog name. Its more fitting now, I think.

Anyway, for tonight's ramble, I'll rant on how much I love my itouch. I did have the iPhone. And I really did love it, but it was complex and I butt dialed alot. So when the thingy expired earlier this year, I bought a new little phone. Nothing complex, just calling and texting. And then I had to resort to my little orange shuffle that I run with...which honestly, I hate. So I begged my parents to get me the touch for my birthday, and they did. I paid for part of it because I wanted the 32 GB. And I love it. It is a lot like the iphone, but I love it. It makes me happy. Its so pretty.


Anyway....that's it. One week to my 18th and I have no plans. I really want to go gamble, but since its on a Monday, that makes the whole I-can't-go-away-with-school thing. And I can't go the weekend before, and the weekend after is Valentines Day, aka I wear pink, eat chocolate and sing love ballads all day while my valentine sulks because "its a pointless holiday and too commercial and blahblahblah." He refuses to take me to dinner, or even recognize the fact that its the day of luuuuuurve. Loser.

So I'm attempting to make plans. Hopefully that'll work out.

8 to 18. *Beyond these walls that hold us here...*

skies that stetch across a midnight clear.
Oh, a revolution is near.
In my dream I hear the echoes of the recent battle
Lostand wounded as the faded cries begin to settle for the night
But the words you use to hurt me now
Only seem to make me strong some how
Oh a revolution is now
And the days will get warmer, and I'll take down my armor
Together we can fight this feeling
And the demons that stalk us will eventually turn to dust
Together we can start this healing
-FeFe Dobson "Revlution"


Go listen to this song. Its amazing.

My mom found a house. She took pictures and I have them, but I really don't want to but them up here....for obvious reasons. Its an 8 bedroom house with a basement where they're going to add two more room, plus a playroom. Its just about an hour from the city, north. It has a big backyard, which is amazing. No pool though. I like it. She just waiting for my dad's approval and then they're going to buy it.

I'm alone, basking in silence. Ethan's at a superbowl party and I'm alone. I love being alone.

I almost lost a kid today. That was insanely scary.

And, Miss Raven, if you are reading, I don't know if you are or not. I love you and your amazing and your gonna get through this. You deserve everything that's good in life. I'm really glad that I "met" you. Thanks for everything you've done for me and you know I'm here if you need to rant. I owe you a few. *sends good vibes in your direction.*
