(ho)^3

AHHH Christmas! what a lovely time of the year. a magical time of joy and wonder and joyness.
har de har har
anywho- i myself SCORED this Christmas, and am now updating my blog from my brand new laptop.
i know.
i'm soooo excited. i feel like a real author now. i'm going to carry it to my local coffee shop and spend hours scrunched up in a corner staring into buying overpriced lattes and playing minesweeper, then yell at people who try to talk to me, "hey- i'm trying to write a novel here!"
ho-ya.


p.s.

Get a Cash Advance

ha- yeah right.

The Real Orange County

Okay, so i got this idea into my head to do a series, and when ideas get into my head they are quite impossible to get out, so i'm doing it. It's the girls of the OC (Marissa, Anna, and Summer) vs. their real-life counterparts (Mischa, Samaire, and Rachel) in a street style smackdown.
ho-ya. get ready- it's gonna be AWESOME.
...
i hope.

Things That Frighten me

Nonsense metallic legging things that look like the Tin Man has eaten your legs

Ever having to see these godawful shoes in real life

The fact that this is a Luckymag outfit of the day:

Donatella Versace

Jaime Winstone (whoever that is) at the (London?) premier of Beowulf
wearing... this.



wow... just-

wow.

Pretty Boys

now, i'll be the first to admit that i hate primped boys. you know the ones- that walk down the street with their tighty-tight jeans and sparkly new shoes and perfectly tailored blazer.
ick. i think boys should spend less time getting dressed in the morning than i do.
having said that, a boy with cute, original style that looks natural and not tooo overdone, walking down the street has my full approval, nay- my full attention.




Don't you wish your boyfriend was this charming?
i do.

I Wish I were gamine

isn't that just the loveliest word ever? gamine. it just screams... french girl who oozes cool.
and that- i am not.
but oh i wish i were.
i would wear this:

and would spout philosophies on art films and the total un-coolness of Cory Kennedy.

Gamine Gals that i am in total envy of:

Outfits outfits oooooouuuttttffffiiiitttssss

No common theme here, just some outfits i've found randomly that i like. reall- just emptying out my ol' pic folder.
uh huh

For the love of Mary Phelps Jacob!

Ok... i will be the first to admit that Kirsten Dunst is amazing, stylish, great actress, down-to-earth, and all together cutie patootie.
but dear lord, why does she insist on giving helping headlight to all passersby? i realize she had that boyish figure that i am so very far from myself, but lordy mc lord lord.


there are plenty of adorable alternatives to going el-fresco, and i would be more than willing to help dear mrs. dunst locate them. she need only to ask. or read this post.

Topshop

on a completely unsupportive (ha!) note-
actually... that pun doesn't work in this situation.
but i couldn't not say it.
ooer.
anyways- on a post script- no matter her wardrobe follies, her boyfriend looks positively charming.

Somewhere, Harry Potter is hitting himself

because he let Ron get Hermione. And these are the most gorgeous pictures i've seen in a WHILE. a WHILE, do you hear me?
lord.
from British InStyle

stalker-esque

Have I ever mentioned that I am completely in love with Patrick Fugit?
I haven't? well then- let me expound upon the many many reasons why i love him so

1)he is in 'Almost Famous'.
which is reason enough, all by itself but oh ho- it only gets better!

2)he is in 'Saved!' which i love almost just as much, and which makes me laugh in an, "i wish i had written that, because that girl is me, except she's pregnant and catholice, and i am lacking in both of those areas" way.

3) he is vair hot, even with chubby cheeks

4)he was once on HOUSE, M.D. which i love, and he played an boy who's parents were killed, and he had to take care of his siblings by working at a Chuck-E-Cheese, and he ended up puking all over some kids birthday cake.

and that, my friends, would make anyone awesome.












ahh, patrick, how i do love thee.
ho- ya

ahh, romance

ok... even though i try to be snarky and cynical, i have something completely un-snarky and un-cynical to confess:
i am really a hopeless romantic. terribly terribly hopeless.
whoo, i'm glad i got that off my chest.
now... you'll understand why i posted this video...
i do love it so, it makes me all warm and gushy inside.

Traveling Traveling

polyvore

i've been a part of this nifty website (polyvore) for a while, ands i figured i would post some outfits, if
...
i was going to say if 'if you'd like'... but i'm pretty much going to post them anyway.
alrightey then.
bye

I am such a good girl

Wow- Zoey 101 (Jamie Lynn Spears) is pregnant?

That could be awkward for the show.
"Hmmm... yes- i got pregnant at my boarding school. probably from that cute guy with the jew fro and skinny arms."

ahhh, well.
that is one accomplishment- i am most definitely not pregnant.
wow- i feel better.

I figured i should write in here...

i'm not dead, people who read this- i have just been mortally wounded and bedridden, thus away from my computer for these many fine months.

actually- i lied. i'm just bad at this commitment thing. it's not you, it's me.
anyways- i figured i should stop by and say hi to those two people reading this, who accidentally stumbled across it in some forgotten forum somewhere.

UPDATES...

-i won NaNoWriMo, but I haven't finished my story quite yet.

Persuasion is my very favorite so far.

Chick Flicks

ok... so school's starting. i need some semblance of a destressing routine if i'm going to make it to christmas. thus, ta-da... Chick Flicks! *collective gasp*
i know, i know... chick flicks- lame and sappy. i myself don't really enjoy said flicks when the make me cry like a 2 year old. but- i have put together a list of movies that are a fail-safe fool-proof zip-a-dee-doo-da way to a better day.
(yes- i'm feeling corny. leave me alooooone.
ok- criteria:
1) must involve hot male-age. (obviously.) if i'm having a bad day- it is essential that i get to stare at loverly gorgeous guys for an hour and a half without interruption.
2) ...
actually- i didn't get past the hot guys.
oh well.

list:::::::


1)Drive Me Crazy
ok... one of the sappiest teen movies ever... BUT- it has Adrien Grenier, and as you see from my man list (earlier post)... i have a weakness for big floppy hair and pouty lips.
and adrien grenier... so this movie is essential.

---acceptable replacement- 1st season of Entourage



2)Mean Girls
"my boobs can tell when it's going to rain."
"really?!?"
"well... they can tell when it's raining"
CLASSIC.
also- the soccer guy? yea- he gets hotter every time i see it

---acceptable replacement- Clueless. (why? because it's ALSO a classic.see what i did there? it's called improv. yea- i'm pretty much awesome at that.)



3)Pretty In Pink
because i have a thing for awful prom dresses, reformed jerks, and the Duckster.

---acceptable replacement- 16 Candles.(oooh- Jake Ryan *fangirl squeal*)



4)Legally Blonde
i don't even like Luke Wilson, and I STILL love this movie. that's how good it is. also- is it sad that this convinced me I want to be a lawyer?
...
don't answer that.

--- acceptable replacement- none... this is an essential!


5)Ten things I Hate About You
Seriously? You're reading the explanation? It's Ten Things!
lord.

--- acceptable replacement- yea, right.


6)The Improtance of Being Earnest-
i have the biggest crush on colin firth. i don't care how old he is- he's so freakin pretty!

---acceptable replacement- Bridget Jones 1&2... actually... those should be supplements, not replacements. you can never have too much firth.


honorable mentions:

Never Been Kissed- ooh, hot for teacher
Chasing Liberty- tall and gangly? check. british accent? check. hotness? check^4
The Princess Diaries- aaah Rooneylove.
Coyote Ugly- makes me want to dance on tables and snog random food-service workers.
Pride and Prejudice- the one with matthew mcfadden... because it has matthew mcfadden
The Sweetest Thing- okay... it grosses me out but it's so hilarious
Can't Buy Me Love- aww- teenage Dr. Mcdreamy!
The Sure Thing- john cusack. 'nuff said

Guy Candy

mmkay- i found a post on the fashion spot that listed a bunch of hott (two t's for exxtra hottness) guys and thought, huh...
this is completely useless and unproductive.
...
perfect.
so i'm making my own
because i have yet to figure out how to post images from my computer onto fashionspot.
lame.
anyways-
here goes...
the list
kicks off with a personal favorite- the guy who made geeks "cool" again...
(as if they ever stopped?)


Adam Brody as Seth Cohen (The OC)
reason:
i like my boys geeky
also- He listens to Deathcab, and yet doetsn't have the urge to straighten his sexy curls into a gay sway. must look into this phenomenon...



Matthew Mcfadden as Mr. Darcy (Pride and Prejudice
reason:
"i love you... most ARDENTLY"
gotta love a guy with a nice vocabulary.
:)
also- gorgey blue eyes don't hurt.



Hugh Laurie as House
reason:
he's insensitive, sarcastic, blunt, and old enough to be my dad.
translation:
sexpot.



Adrian Brody a la Liberty Heights- i couldn't find the right picture...
reason:
he plays a moody jewish kid who falls in love with some preppy princess chick, and when she goes psycho, he's still mr. sensitive
...
real reason:
i have a thing for guys with big noses.




Christian Bale a la The Prestige
reason:
um...
it's Christian Bale.



Jason Schwartzman aka thatcuteguyfromthatbandintheprincessdiaries a la Rooney... or the Princess Diaries
reason:
in the movie, he fixes cars, and plays a keyboard with m&ms on it.
and i love m&ms so...



Adrien Grenier a la thatabcfamilymoviewiththatchickfromsabrinatheteenagewitchwhereheplayshergeekyneighborbutthenshemakeshimovertomakeherboyfriendjealousandfallsinlove...imdb says: "Drive Me Crazy", also- "devil Wears Prada", and "entourage"
reason:
two words-
jew fro.



Sean Biggerstaff as Oliver Wood
reason:
cute smirk, and adorably gawky
pervy reason:
his last name's Wood.
and he says about 12 variations of "let me seeyour broomstick" per book.
:)



Cubist Literature guy
reason:
ok... so even though he's probably gay, he's very hot in a connor oberst-y way. AND hes makes things.
so there.



Danny from Mcfly
reason:
yes, his band leaves something to be desired... but his deep, scratchy voice and perpetually floppy hair make up for it.
bonus: he distracted me from both that guy's abs and Lindsay Lohan's acting in "Just My Luck"...
and that would make anybody hot.



This guy from Facehunter
reason:
it's all about the hair



Patrick Dempsey a la Grey's Anatomy
reason:
I think "Dr. McDreamy" says it all.



Heath Ledger a la 10 Things I Hate About You
reason(s):
1) he buys her a guitar
2) ...
hello?!?
he buys her a freaking guitar.
geez



aaaaah maleness.
