inkheart?!

Well, I was shocked to see that Inkheart wasn't completely butchered like some novel to films I've seen *cough*twilight*cough*harrypotter*cough*. After watching the movie, I began to jump back into the Inkheart fandom which led me to checking out the spoilers for Inkdeath. I didn't want to buy back when it came out because of the price (it just didn't feel worth it to me) so I hoped onto Amazon.ca and checked the plot synopsis. What in Jee Man's name happened there? Meggie breaks it off with Farid for some royal guy named Doria?

I'll either borrow the novel from the library or stay far, far away from it. It sort of feels like it would ruin the entire series for me since Mrs. Funke didn't really work her characters very well.

So, to start the week off.. I give you:


How To Be Hardcore

best. weekend. ever.

Maybe one day you'll understand
That I want nothing from you but to sweetly hold your hand
Till that day just please don't be so down
Don't make frowns, you silly clown

Just come and open up your folding chair next to me
My feet are buried in the sand and there's a breeze
There's a shadow
You can't see my eyes
And the waves are just a frothier version of the skies
folding chairs -regina spektor
wow i had the most amazing weekend!
Saturday I went t work (it was my day off though) and hung around for an hour. I ws searching for a novel by oscar wilde and I actually found it there! I was pleasantly surprised . I went up to the showcase where my mother was...and where the marching band boy was as well. She was glad that I found it and it turns out that he (marching band boy.. maybe refer to him as that guy?) had read it as well. except he thought it was creepy.
Also chatted up with him a bit more, laughing and smiling and with the rest of the staff over by the changing rooms. before we were leaving icalled them all slackers since pretty much the entire staff was all hanging around there. they all laughed and he replied with a grin (that smartass) 'hey, we're performing excellent customer service! you guys aren;t in uniform!!" i turn around and give him the look with a smile on my face and hes staring back, smiling and his eyes are all bright.
Then today? I was training to be a cashier and i did really well for the first time doing it!
Book rec for the week?
The Gemma Doyle series by Libba Bray. Series consist of:
  1. A Great and Terrible Beauty
  2. Rebel Angels
  3. The Sweet Far Thing

off to watch Inkheart

inspiration strikes.... or not


'Oh yeah, I´ll tell you something, I think you´ll understand.
When I say that something, I wanna hold your hand.
Oh, please, say to me; You´ll let me be your woman
and please, say to me; You´ll let me hold your hand!
It´s such a feeling
that my love, I can't hide'
- The Beatles 'I Want To Hold Your Hand'



"Emm sollte von Band geeks fernbleiben. für immer., wo die"
- Alisha

new york i love you


do you ever find yourself laying in a field thinking, 'what would jesus do?' well what on earth WOULD jesus do?! My best guess is that he would sit down, eat a mango and allow the universe to unfold as it should. Or maybe thats just Kevin a.k.a jesus. That guy is lucky (jesus not kevin). He has like God to answer his questions. Or do you even think that God would answer his questions? Nah. I bet he wouldn't. He'd make jesus figure everything out by himself. just a unfinished thought for you. 'what would jesus do?'
Today was wonderful. I went to starbucks with my bag full of library books and ordered a black tea lemonade. Delicious! I decided to try something new and boy was I glad. Walked to the library to return books and check out new ones. There wasn't anything interesting to do at home so I continued my journey... the library didn't have The Picture Of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde so I went thrifting in hopes of finding the novel. I was also hoping to run into a certain band geek....

My life, so interesting..
here's a list of books I highly reccommend:
  • The Perks Of Being A Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky
  • Simon Says by Elaine Marie Alphin
  • The Gum Thief by Douglas Coupland
  • Lamb: The Gospel According To Biff, Christ's Childhood Friend by Christopher Moore
  • Sleeping Freshmen Never Lie by David Lubar
  • Go Ask Alice by Anonymous

and if your in the mood for a fun romance ish novel? check out the Queen Of Babble series by Meg Cabot.

P.S. Kevin, you are amazing :D

sometimes i feel like a sofa

ever feel that way? everday my friends, everyday. A cure? listen to cobra starship, dance like your feet are on fire and make some hemp bracelets afterwards.

I must say, being a sofa is better than being a ninja... isn't that right Josephine?
