They Didn't Quite Succeed

Listening to Pet Shop Boys always takes me back to my childhood :P
Ah, I can see it now.  Summer, working in the yard, music coming through the surround sound in the living room and backyard...There's a lot of light...
It's weird how many memories I have connected to two certain songs by them...

Anywho.

Stayed home sick today.  I didn't want to but this morning I had absolutely no strength at all.  I couldn't even press the Off button instead of snooze.

But I made it up by working on my english oral (now for the past 4-5 hours).  I think I'm making progress.
Dea is going to get some dinner soon and I'll do a couple of practice orals then.
I don't like doing it when somebody is listening :P
I'm sure you understand.


I'm so excited for all the upcoming events.  Hemavan, my birthday, more birthdays, Lady GaGa, prom, graduation.  All smashed up into just over 2 months.  I have to make sure I study though.  Really, now.

The Fame Monster

Oj.  I love this cd.  Soooo much.

So yesterday I volunteered at the animal shelter.  Fun fun.

Today I called Aivy and we decided to go out for lunch and then head over to the dollar theatre.  After all, its Tuesday.  We both commented on how everyone in IB had such huge hopes and planned on applying to like NYU, Cornell, Brown, Stanford, SMU...And now everyones going to like UTD, UNT, or A&M.  Usually because of money issues...

So yeah, we had IHOP for lunch.  I had a grilled chicken caesar salad :) Yuuumm.  Haha and aivy had pancakes.  I wanted to.  I was going to get the New York Cheesecake Pancakes with the fresh strawberries and whipped cream...but it made my stomach hurt just thinking about it.  so i went with the salad.

Oh my goodness.  And then we watched Law Abiding Citizen.  It was like a cross between my understanding of Saw and Inside Man.  It was suuuper good.  Intense.

Jamie Foxx and Gerard Butler were amazing :)

It was snowing when we got out of the theatre so we went home and picked up some extra jackets and went to Miller Park :D  FUn stuff.  They taught me how to do the stanky legg :P fuuun funn.  and the running man.  and jerking.  hahaha we had fun on the basketball court in the snow.

Afterwards we got too cold so we went to Alexis's house to have hot chocolate!

Haha (clockwise starting at the bottom left): Alexis's, Aivy's, Mine.
