(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.

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

and audiobooks on my ipod. but that hardly counts.
so stay tuned for my reading list, compiled from lots of other people's reading list.

i mean, stay tuned in the future. i am completely disinterested in it now.

p.s.
i do love the word "ubiquitous", don't you?

p.s.s.
did you know that p.s. stands for post script?

people who use p.s.s. to tag on stuff that couldd have gone under the first p.s. are pretentious douchebags.

What horrible Edward Gorey Death will you die?

You will be sucked dry by a leech. I'd stay away from swimming holes, and stick to good old cement. Even if it does hurt like hell when your toe scrapes the bottom.

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.
