International Man of Mystery...

Reasons Why I Love Temple:

Reason 763: I can convince my friends to make fools of themselves in public all around Temple's  campus and the city of Philadelphia.

These particular photos chronicle just one of my never ending jokes while having lunch with Alison and Carleigh.  I got the glasses as part of a 3D project and couldn't part with them, so I brought them to lunch with me the next day. And wearing them all throughout the SAC just seemed like the natural thing to do. Car and Alison really didn't want to get their photos taken... but luckily I can always count on them buying the excuse: "But It's for an art project!"

Laugh a Little...

So I've been known to laugh at myself from time to time...

Some things that have really made me smile lately are:

1) getting out of work early.

2) spending time with my sister.

3) the dog park with trey.

4) when my mom buys me a whole lemon meringue pie.

5) cooking dinner for my parents.

6) reading blogs to the point that I lose all concept of time.

What a Blast...

Here's a list of some of my favorite things from the last couple of days. They also happen to be things I love very very much...

1. Sonic Runs with Liz and Sarah on the 4th of July.

2. Any flavor Sonic Blast. Or as I refer to them: Blast-O's!

3. Pictures of roller coasters at night as you drive by Hershey Park on your way to Sonic.

4. Anna and Liz's ability to make fires.

5. My ability in pretending I'm a wizard, like HP.

6. Going to Neato and the dog park with Brielle for hours...

7. And then walking Trey around Italian Lake with Brielle afterwards.

Mural Madness...

So it took my mom a good 17 years of convincing before she let me paint my walls... and to this day, two years later, I'm still not even sure she's really convinced. After all I did kind of just haphazardly start painting... I didn't really think my designs through... which is why after having this unfinished mural on my wall for almost a year and a half I have decided to paint over it. I've kind of decided to make it a summer project. To help me keep up with my art for school... So from time to time I'll upload a new photo of the progress I've made on my wall. And this time... I'm thinking it out first.

This was my first attempt...  

I was going for my dreams breaking out from behind the wall.

Last night I decided to try again.... but left some of the bricks.

Shady Business...

Sometimes you just really really really need to smile...

Here's to hoping you have a great day and find something to laugh about!

Burrito Buddies...

Went to Neato Burrito with Kim today for lunch. She leaves for the Cayman Islands tomorrow so I wanted to see her because she'll be gone for 11 days! We went to Checkered Past after and Kim got a new green belly button ring. We laughed like usual. I love that all we do is talk about our future plans... no matter how extravagant or farfetched they might be. I'm gonna pick up my Harry Potter midnight premier tickets later tonight. Maybe I'll go paint my room now... or finish my book... the possibilities are endless.

Cowboy Crunch on honey wheat tortilla. Kim got the same, but with a spinach tortilla.

Order Of The Pheonix

A list of things I've done today (last night):

1) Finish day 5 of work week: check

2) Drove to Caitlin's at 10:30 pm to obtain the 5th HP movie and watch it with laur

3) Was devastated when I showed up to find Caitlin couldn't find HP...

4) Laur and I called 5 different friends, asking if they had the movie and wouldn't mind lending it to us at 10: 45 pm

5) Sheetz run. Arizona Ice Tea and Microwave popcorn. To calm the nerves.

6) We drive to fishing creek and pick up Emily. She has all 5 of the hp dvds in her collectors special edition set...

7) We pop two bags of popcorn. I inhale 1 1/2 bags.

8) Lauren makes us smoothies in our brand new magic bullet. smoothies are amazing. bullet is a god send. I may need to invest in one for college life.

9) We watch the movie... Glorious!

10) I take emily home. We hear an owl hooting outside. We see a shooting star. The clouds are swirling. The spirit of Harry Potter lives on in the 717...

in other news:

I'm still deciding on what my costume for the new HP movie should be...

Potentials include but are in no means limited to:

-Colin Creevey

-Kreacher

-Crookshanks

-Gilderoy Lockhart

Any suggestions are more than welcome!!!!

In discussing HP further tonight... Emily and I have discovered I would probably be in Hufflepuff or Ravenclaw... I would be good at Care of Magical Creatures and Transfiguration, and if I could have any magical/mythical creature it would be a Hypogriff. With a magical Owl that can deliver my mail a close second.

Realizing I'm still living my imagination through the eyes of an 11 year old: priceless.
