Spring Blooms :)

It's certainly been awhile since I last wrote! Let's just blame it on the fact that school bogs me down with endless amounts of work, and I end up passing out around ten every night. Anyway, Friday I went to the Battle of the Bands at Randolph High School since my mom was one of the judges. I'm happy to say that my favorite band won, and they're known as The Glass Bottom Boat Ride. Love that name. I also saw Grease at my school twice, and it was fantastic. I made a few tasty trips to Rita's, and then I worked. Haileigh slept over as well, it was such a girl's night! I painted her nails. :] I also made lasagna today, and I cannot wait to eat it! I'm sitting here counting down the minutes until I can.

I've been relatively good lately, although some people are hard to read. I'm certainly not in a slump like I was a little while ago, but my mind isn't free of thoughts that plague me all the time. I suppose I've just been reevaluating some aspects of my life, and I'm not sure what to think. Then again, we all do this from time to time I think. :P

Also, listen to her music. :] I love it! "I Don't Know" is my favorite.

New York One Day, Grandma's the Next.

On Thursday I went to New York City with Richie and his family! :] We drove down to Bayonne and caught the Path train right into the city. We ventured through the subway and made our way to the Central Park Zoo. The line for tickets was quite long, but that was alright. We ate hot dogs and it moved relatively quickly. Once inside, Richie and I got to split off and do what we wanted. Naturally I made him come with me to the polar bears! :D They were so adorable, I cannot even begin to explain. All of them were so lazy, lying on rocks or cuddling in caves. Let's face it, I was in love! Next we tried to scope out the red pandas, but they were hiding, so we went off to the penguins. Penguins are also the cutest ever, putting on a little show for the crowd. We saw several other animals as well, and all in all it was a nice zoo trip. I had been there once before, but it never gets old. Not to mention that was a long time ago.
We left the zoo eventually and went for a walk through Central Park. Gosh it is so beautiful there! When I'm done with college, I want to live in New York City. End of story. The rest of the day consisted of walking really, and we made our way over to Times Square. I bought myself a shirt, we ate some food, then it was time to go. I met some of Richie's relatives back in Bayonne, then he drove us all home. Oh yeah, on the subway we had a run-in with your usual "homeless/broke person" who needed money. He gave a speech about "times being hard" and "having no address". You feel bad, but deep down you don't know what to believe. A strange situation, you know?
We got back to Richie's, ate pizza, then played the Wii! I was sucking so bad at Mario Party, but I miraculously won in the end! Hahaha everyone was surprised, and we all just laughed about it. We played some other mini-games until finally Richie had to drop me off. I have some pictures that I'll put up later. Sadly, my mom had my Nikon that day so I just used my Olympus point-and-shoot.

Today is Easter, so happy Easter everyone! :] I will be going to my grandma's where I will partake in an Easter egg hunt! Sounds lovely!

Adventureland!

Up for a good movie? Definitely go see Adventureland! Every preview I saw for it left me feeling hopeful about the outcome, and for good reason. Think of Juno-esque humor and cinematography set in the 80's at a theme park. Obviously no one is pregnant, but it's the same sort of style. Throw in Bill Hader and Jesse Eisenberg, a Michael Cera type of character, and you have a great movie. It certainly portrays youth well, and in some ways it covers some deeper issues in a light-hearted type of way. Not to mention you can never beat some romance! I know it's hard to think of Kristen Stewart outside of Twilight, but I thought she did well in this movie. One of my favorite characters was Frigo played by an actor called Matt Bush. Talk about hilarious. All in all it was money well-spent. I thoroughly enjoyed Superbad, and Adventureland was directed by Greg Mottola, the same guy.

On another note, Jesse Eisenberg was in this terrible movie called The Squid and the Whale. Try it out and see if you like it, but it's certainly depressing and the ending is pretty anti-climactic. I'm glad he was good in this movie though! :]



Along with seeing the movie, I also hung out with Kat! She finally got to watch Shaun of the Dead, a must-see for those who love British people. She had to leave at 4 for work though. :[ Later on Richie came over and we met up with Emily and Ben Turner at Frank's! We had a battle of the sexes car race to Wal*Mart, but sadly Emily and I lost. :[ Upon entering Wal*Mart, it made us realize how much we miss being kids. We played with bicycles and Nerf guns and relived the good days.

What's going on?

I have no idea, but something has to change. I don't like to sound depressing, especially on a blog (too cliche, and yes I forgot the accent mark), but lately I've been disappointed. In people, myself, a few things. We all reach a slump every now and then in our lives. You just have to wait it out basically and see where it ends up. I was talking to someone yesterday who made me feel happy. It was like a breath of fresh air in this bleak time. I also saw Haileigh on Sunday which was lovely. She is one of the most true friends I have ever made, even if we once had a falling out. We talked a lot that night, and when we look back on it the whole thing is really stupid. I'm happy to be close with her again, but I was never really gone. Both of us knew that we could rely on each other no matter what the circumstances were, and that spells out amazing friend to me.

On another note, I actually quite enjoy rainy weather <3.

I like taking pictures.

It finally feels like spring!

The weather was absolutely gorgeous today, my favorite kind in fact! I'm glad that Christina loves to go outside and just take pictures with me! :] That is in fact what we did after eating at the Sandwich Shoppe today <3. Midterms were alright today as well. I just wish I didn't have to go to school tomorrow, it's incredibly pointless.

I actually really love the rain.

Raindrops pattering on the windowpanes is such a comforting sound. Anytime it rains all I want to do is crack open my journal and get to writing. You know, I post here more than I have written in my journal lately. This needs to change. I look back on my journals and how in-depth they were for years, then here I am barely writing a word. Tsk, tsk! I'll stick on some Modest Mouse or The Postal Service, two of my favorite rainy day bands. Maybe that will get the creative juices flowing. Along with writing the rain just gets my mind moving. I realize sometimes my personality flaws are incredibly silly. People like me for who I am, and that's that. Nothing to it. There is certainly no need for worrying, because it's all just up here in this crazy head of mine. Maybe my creativity gets the best of me. :P

By the way, HAPPY APRIL FOOLS DAY! :D
I managed to get Richie and Ben Turner with the untied shoes joke, I rule <3.
