Fun stuff is so...fun! :D

So, Raquel, Lily, and I believe Anna have all done this tag, and I loved reading their answers so much, I figured I'd give it a try myself! Enjoy the cutesy animal themed pictures ;D

1. High heels or boots? Boots for sure! I'm not a heel person. But I never really give heels a try. So, technically, I could be a heel person and just don't know it yet o.O

But considering I'm already pretty tall, I don't know if I'd like being any taller. So...

2. What time did you get up this morning? 8:40. It seems that I have this internal alarm clock that wakes me up at 8:40 every morning. Seriously, every morning. 8:40. That's fine by me though!

3. What was the last movie you saw at the theater? Uhh. Hmm. Water for Elephants, I think? In June! Yep, shows how often I go to the movies ;)

4. What is your maiden name? O'Hara. No, not really. I was just thinking of Scarlett and Rhett...I want to name one of my children Rhett. No, I couldn't. Not since I saw the movie Steel Magnolias and the one lady's dog's name was Rhett. Pffft.

5. What is your favorite TV show? Okay, so I've always thought Gilmore Girls. Because I love the Gilmore Girls. But lately, I'm really liking Dr. Quinn...So at this moment, it's a tie. :)

6. What do you usually have for breakfast? Cheerios or fruity oatmeal! Mmm.

7. What is your middle name? Renee.

8. What food do you dislike? Sauerkraut. Yes, random, I know, but around holidays my mom likes to make it, and my grandparents will make it, and the smell makes me sick!! Ick!

9. What is your favorite CD at the moment? Hmmm. Well, I'm really enjoying "The Outsiders" by Needtobreathe. I very much enjoy the lead singer's voice :)

10. What characteristic do you despise? Just general snobbiness. Ya know, "I know sooo much more than you do", or "I'm just soooo much better than you are for no apparent reason". Yeah, I don't like that.

. 11. Favorite clothing? I'm both a jeans person and a sweatpants person. Thus, both a tshirt person and a hoodie person. I don't get fancy ;)

12. Anywhere in the world on vacation? Ireland!!!

13. Are you an organized person? Some days.

14. Where would you retire to? A cottage in the woods, or cabin by a farm, you know, something cozy where I can live out my days with those I love. :)

15. What was your most recent memorable birthday? Well, my 18th birthday was pretty uhh rough. My 17th birthday also kinda rough. (See, I always want to include everyone I can in my birthday celebrations, and that's usually so many people, that not everyone can possible be happy, and I end up stressing out, because that's what I do. My 19th birthday will be spent with like 2 people. I mean it.) My 16th birthday was good. :) My parents let me skip school and we went shopping and such all day. :)

16. What are you going to do when you finish this? Well, my mom, my aunts and I are all going to a women's retreat this weekend through our church, and we leave tonight! So I'mma go get my stuff together.

18. Person you wish you could meet? George W. Bush. I like him.

19. When is your birthday? February 28th. Woot.

20. Are you a morning person or a night person? I've always been a night person. But much to my dismay lately, I've found that I can't stay up much later than 11:00. It's not that I don't want to stay up later, it's that I can't! I get too tired! Dagnabbit.

21. What is your shoe size? 9-9 1/2

22. Do you own any animals? Why yes, our two shelties who never stop yapping.

23. Any news you'd like to share? Next weekend, I get to go with my Nana and aunt Emily to Lancaster, where we shall attend the show of Joseph at the Sight and Sound Theater!! I went to the Nativity Story show when I was little and all I remember was that there were live horses walking down the aisles and my uncle had to leave because he's crazy allergic.

This will be fun!! I'm excited :D :D :D

24. When you were little, what did you want to be when you grew up? Well, first, a princess. Duh. Sailor Moon, to be exact. Then a veterinarian. Then a crime scene investigator (gosh.) Then a photographer. Then just a mom. :) I stuck with that. :)

25. What is your favorite flower? I don't know that I have a favorite flower actually...I just like them all :)

26. What is a day on the calendar you are looking forward to? Uh. December 25th? Such joy!

28. If you were a crayon, what color would you be? Jungle green! Ya know the one that's like blue, but green at the same time? Ooooh.

29. How is the weather right now? Rainy. Gloomy. Dark-ish. Very fall-like here.

30. Last person you spoke to on the phone? My mother, of course.

31. Favorite drink? Water, actually. :)

32. Favorite restaurant? Ponderosa! Or Cici's! Mmmm.

33. Hair color? I don't even know. Blonde? Brown? Bronde?

34. What was your favorite toy as a child? Snookums. Snookums was this creepy little baby doll I had, but I loved it. I remember leaving it at my Nana's house outside somewhere and my dad had to go search in the dark for it cause I was so upset. He's a good dad :)

35. Spring, summer, fall, or winter? Spring. "Ma Nature's lyrical, with her yearly miracle, spring spring spring!!!"

36. Chocolate or vanilla? Chocolate! Mmmm.

37. Coffee or tea? I don't like tea. At all. At all, at all. I don't really like coffee either. But I like frozen coffee stuff. It works.

38. Wish you were still young? Nah. Cause then I'd wish I were grown up.

39. Do you want to get married? I wouldn't mind that. ;)

40. When was the last time you cried? I cry all the time. I really do. I think I've got a hormonal imbalance or something. Anyways, I was reading the book "Redeeming Love" by Francine Rivers. I'm thinking I'm going to post on the book soon.

41. What is under your bed? Oh gosh, soo much stuff.

42. What did you do last night? Finished that book, and went to bed rather early.

43. What are you afraid of? All sorts of things. Least importantly, spiders. Bleh.

45. Best quality you have? I feel like I'm biased, and cannot correctly answer this question. :)

46. How many years at your current job? Ha. Like, .02 years.

47. Favorite day of the week? Friday. It's a day of hope!

48. Favorite movie? This changes all the time. But right now, I'd say....Fox and the Hound!!

(I just kinda picked the last movie I bought...this question's too difficult!)

49. Have you ever had a crush on anyone? Do you mean, in my last 18 years of girlhood, have I ever liked a *whispers* boy? Gosh. I blew a kiss to a kid on the bus when I was in kindergarten. The bus driver told my mother, and I got into an argument with her (my mother) about why I was definitely old enough to have a boyfriend. That boy grew up to be a pretty nice guy too. *sigh*. My lost kindergarten love.

50. Do you like finding out all this stuff about your friends? Yes, of course! It's fun :) Thus I think whoever wants to should also do this tag! It's great times :)

Because I've got the time.

There are many things on my list of what I'd like my future Mr. to be. One of the items (lower on the list, of course) is that he will let me have a cat. At least for a month or two. Then we can get rid of it. Of course, if he says no, that's okay too. I guess.

;)

(I'm kitty deprived!)

I have these headphones in blue!! They're the bestest headphones I've ever had :)

Yes.

Ahahahhaa. Gets me every time :'D

Okay, so I watched this movie for the first time in forever yesterday, and my goodness! So beautiful. So precious. So touching. There were tears shed!

I always forget that the phantom is Gerard Butler. Speaking of, did you know that his name is pronounced like "Jarred" where he comes from? I've been calling him Gerard. Like "her card". According to him, that's the irritating American way of saying it.

...

Oh well! :)

That is the coziest thing I have ever seen.

So I've got this game called "Tap Zoo" on my phone. It's been amusing. You can do all sorts of crazy stuff on it, and not actually be on it for more than ten minutes a day, if even that. I've almost got a polar bear. After that, I'll have every animal.

I'm really glad that I didn't pay for the game, and that I hardly invested any time into it.

If I had any artistic talent, this is what I'd do with it.

My life is boring. I miss my bookstore. I need to go job hunting. Again. My current job is giving me like, 5 hours a week (pointless!). I need a hobby. I want to travel. Traveling costs money. I'd like to go to Ireland. I wouldn't travel internationally by myself...(as if!). So I need to find someone to go to Ireland with me. Or I'd go back to the Dominican Republic. Or I'd go visit our Wednesday night pastor in Africa (he moved there). Our Sunday morning pastor (well, he was our Sunday morning pastor...it's long story) is vacationing in Paris.

That would be cool.

I'd still like to go to Ireland.

Top of the evenin' to ya.

;)

Sometimes, dreams really are little wishes that our heart makes.

You know, the dreams where when you wake up, you can't help but feel a little bit devastated because you'd just had your whole world in your hands only a moment before...but then it was snatched away as you woke up?

I get those dreams a lot, and always with the same scenario...and I'm trying to get away from it, I'm trying to move on from it, but it's like no matter what I do, I'm stuck with it until something else comes along. And I hope something else does come along soon. Because this is one of those impossible wishes, one that looks completely hopeless...and you know that if it comes true, it'll be the greatest gift God will ever give you, a true miraculous blessing...and who am I to deserve that?

Sometimes my heart and my head get so mixed up, even I don't know what I'm talking about.

(PS: Nobody had the really good version of that quote in picture format. It makes me sad. I love that quote. And it bugs me that it's not correct.) :(

Comfort food. :)

When I was little, any time I ate Jell-o I pretended I was Simba, and that the Jell-o was a bug, and I would slurp it up! Mmm mmm good!

How traumatizing.

"This is the night, what a beautiful night, and they call it 'bella notte'!"

Wouldn't it be awesome if dresses for dances and such were still like that today? So elegant!

They're so fluffy!

Second star to the right and straight on till morning!

Phillip is my very favorite prince. Not even Flynn Rider can replace him ;)

May I have them all please??? :D

Disney movies are like a warm fluffy blanket with a delicious mug of hot chocolate, a puppy curled up at your feet, snow gently falling outside, and the smell of yummy yummy food filling the house.
Maybe I'm strange. Oh well :)

Forever is a long, long time and time has a way of changing things.

Comment: I love him so.

I have bought so many kids books lately, it's a little bit ridiculous! I mean, how many single 18 year olds really think about buying their future kids books? Hmmm.

I finally got around to reading this book. I actually liked it quite a bit, but the movie followed it so closely, there was nothing in the book that was new to me, which made it simply enjoyable; there was no suspense! This is the kind of book that would have killed me with suspense.

I wouldn't recommend it though, simply because of graphic content. I could go on a whole rant about how unnecessary it is to have dirty things in a book that would've been otherwise fine without it...Gah.

I feel like redoing my room, somehow. Repainting maybe. Right now, three walls are orange, with one wall pink, with all sorts of pink embellishments on the orange walls.

I feel tired of it. It's almost too much, ya know? I liked it so much...I still do. See, I'm just so indecisive. Even if I could just change it from the bold shades of pink and orange, to light shades of pink and orange, that could be cool.

I gotta think about it.

...it's starting to get colder :) Yay for Christmas and coziness and lotsa blankets, and snow!!!!!

I miss my Gilmore girls with so much of my little heart. Nasty ABC Family replaced them with nasty dirty filthy Secret Life of the American Teenager, and I only have the first 2 seasons, and have already gone through them. The Gilmores are like my bedtime lullaby. I feel so sad without them.

-from the song "Fix You" by Coldplay. I love that song. Every time I hear it, I ponder on this line. When you love someone, and they don't love you back, or it doesn't work out...was it really all just a waste? Somehow, even though it may be easiest to get all debbie-downer and think yes, it was a waste...I imagine that no, it wasn't. It's that whole big picture idea, you know? Right now, you're only seeing a fuzzy little section...but when you back up, you can see the entire picture, and you think "Oooh, it all makes sense now!" It makes me think of this quote, by Corrie Ten Boom:

"Every experience God gives us, every person He puts in our lives is the perfect preparation for the future that only He can see."

I love that.

I'd like to say that I'm going to be rebellious and go to bed now, since I'm feeling sleepy, and it's only 8 o'clock (that's why it's rebellious). But chances are, I'll go upstairs, plop into bed, and immediately become restless, as I always do. So I'll probably read a while, then think of how I can rearrange my room (it's been on my mind today), maybe watch some Scooby Doo (I recorded an old episode!!! So exciting), mosey around for a bit. Then I'll probably fall asleep around 11, 11:30. My plans just never work. *sigh* Oh well ;)

I ate a ton of icing while writing this. I'm so bad.

~I hate the new Scooby Doo. No, really. They've got "What's New Scooby Doo?" made in 2011, and the animation is SO not like the old one! I miss the old, fun, cartoony animation...it's like how they have Mickey Mouse all over the Disney channel, but he's in this funky computer animation. That is NOT Mickey Mouse. Gah, what a lie.

~So my bookstore closes on this upcoming Tuesday. I'm pretty bummed. I'm such a book person. I was meant to work at a bookstore.

Oh well!

I did get hired at the Yankee Candle store at our mall, though!! I'm pretty excited. I get an awesome discount ;)

~I finally saw Fantastic Mr. Fox. It was the creepiest thing. Ever. I'm pretty sure it was made for people who are hopped up on drugs.

The little fox was cute though. I really liked him.

~So yesterday, I read two disastrous books in one day. The first was called "Life as we Knew it" by Susan Beth Pfeiffer. In this book, an asteroid hits the moon and knocks it closer towards the earth, and ouila: disaster. Earthquakes, volcanoes, tsunamis, the works. It was an okay book. It really made me think...Like, if something were to happen, like an electromagnetic pulse, where nothing electric would work, the Amish would be so well off!! They wouldn't even know the difference, they'd still be living in contentment. Plus, I now feel justified for my vast amount of books, because they shall provide me entertainment should the world ever begin to end. ;)

The second book was called "Fever 1793" by Laurie Halse Anderson. I read it in like, the 7th grade and loved it, and so I bought it at the last bookstore I worked at (2 years ago!) and finally read it yesterday...Gosh, it was kinda disturbing, really. It's about how yellow fever broke out in Philadelphia in the year of 1793, and thousands of people died, and about half of the city left to get away from the illness...I had horrid dreams all night. Then I woke up to an insane thunderstorm, which made me think of the first book...lovely things to read, really :)

(PS: weheartit is totally...i don't even know. Let's just say that in every picture of a girl reading that I found, the girl was brunette. No blondes! That just doesn't seem right. I am offended.)

~So we had my brother's open house at the middle school this past Tuesday, and I simply had to go since it's at a brand new middle school they just built to replace the old one (It's so wrong...we never got real heating and air conditioning!!!) Anyways, blech blech blech. I am NOT a school person. Not to say I don't like to learn...I do. But school and I are just not amigos! I was nauseous the entire time, ugh. It makes me shudder just to think about it. I'm so glad I'm done. At least for the foreseeable future, unless God decides I simply have to go to college. ;)

~Oh yeah, did I tell you my brother got married? He did :) It was cool. Her dress was outrageous! See the picture below ↓ ↓ ↓ There must've been at least 50 layers, and it took about 20 minutes to straighten out before the wedding! It was beautiful though. I had to work so hard to hold back sobs as I stood up front with my Medusa hair...yes, my Medusa hair. Oh well, it was fun! And beautiful. *sigh*

~Maybe someday I'll have a meaningful blog. Ya know, where I talk about important stuff. But for now, I'm happy just being random and fun :) Hope ya don't mind!

....and I'm not really sure what's going on in that picture. It just made me smile :)
