at the bottom of the hill...

I love love love my apartment and I can already tell I'm going to obsess about decorating it.

I really want to get wall decals like this:



I want something like this in the living room. I have really high ceilings so I want to put something big on the wall because its right where you walk in. I definitely want something to do with crows, even if they are just flying.










I know for sure I want Japanese cherry blossoms in my bedroom. I just think they are so pretty and calming, especially if there is a trail of them falling like in this picture. I want to put them in the corner and have them long enough to stretch over a 3rd of my wall space. And they for sure have to be red because my blankets/sheets and furniture are all black and red and it will accent that nicely I think.











It's all hardwood flooring so I was thinking I should get a big rug for the living room. I was thinking something like this would be cute but I'm afraid of my whole apartment being black and red. So maybe I could go for something more like:








& I have black curtains and I'm aiming to get a black couch in January so it would look pretty similar to this picture if I got a rug like this one. I want to go for a patterned rug because the apartment feels so bland.








I am so happy to finally be alone. I love being as loud or as quiet as I want, I love walking around in the buff, I love to sit in front of the fireplace and read/eat alphabet soup. I love not sharing my things [I.E. dvds, food, dishes] Things are really comfortable at my house because its mine. I love the thought of that.

I had a really great weekend. Friday was amazing to say at the least. I'm really excited about this development in my life. Saturday was so much fun! The show went really well and I'm happy to be a part of the 'giving' portion of Christmas, thanks SO much to Brandi for all of her generosity and organization of the show, the poker tournament, and the gifts for the Sub-For-Santa kids.I've got almost everything moved into my new apartment, I just have to grab the little stuff I have left like my clothes, paintings, and Christmas Presents. After I got everything moved in yesterday it was so nice to sit at home in the quiet without having to worry about anything. Its a small apartment but its cute and everything fits. I just need to get a dresser and a couch and I'll be all good.

This week is going to be crazy busy for me but I'm excited to see how everything pans out. I'm excited for tonight because I get to see my Emily AND watch Harry Potter 6 in the same night!

Life is really on the up & up for me. I hope it stays going the way its going.. I think all I really needed was a huge change

Lookin' up

I am [finally] making a change. I'm starting to look forward; not backward. Some recent events have occurred in my life and I'm taking a positive perspective on things. I think It's going to be a good thing. I feel like I have a lot to look forward to, the only hard part is going to be the wait.


wish me luck!

I just finished this book. I think I prefer the movie. The book is written in 8 year old's perspective which makes the build up more mysterious, which wasn't something I liked. The book omitted a lot of details that made the movie so much more intense. For example, the movie established a better picture as far as developing the friendship between the two boys which made the storyline so much more interesting.

I think I would have liked the book more if they actually explained what happens in the end, but they sort of leave it up to imagination, which for me I didn't like. After seeing this movie, I was so incredibly grieved afterwords and in this book it wasn't as upsetting or moving. Based on the writing, it lacked detail and needed more explanation.

I saw this at Barnes & Noble the other day and it didn't have a price on it, and I figured it was like, 100 bucks so I didn't get it. Well I just looked it up on Amazon and It's only $40! I want to get it so bad! I used to have an Alphonse Mucha book but I lost it in a storage unit. I have always been a fan of Alphonse Mucha, he's definitely one of the artist that inspire me and that I really admire and could look at his art for hours and not get bored.

If people were rain..

Than I am drizzle... and he is a hurricane.
