Tags and Halloween and Total Randomness

I've been tagged by my drama love affair, Fantabulistique, and Little Miss Dress Up to list 6 unimportant things that make me feel happy.

1. When my whole XC race of well over 100 people gets lost in the woods for 20 minutes (seriously... it happened yesterday... epic!)

2. Playing with Photobooth on Danielle and Frankie's laptops.

3. Cereal. Seriously, I love cereal and eat it so much, especially Mini Wheats mixed with multigrain Cheerios.

4. Going into Bertucci's and having everyone staring at me (also happened yesterday)

5. Being done with my homework.

6. Exchanging phone numbers with all the freshmenzz on the bus home from an XC meet.

I really mention XC so much. It's kind of my whole social life though, sadly enough. I just realized this list makes me sound really shallow. Oh well. It's early in the morning and I can't really think properly.

I felt like little Jenny Humphrey again at the Halloween dance I snuck (yeah right) into last night. But, it wasn't at my school. And I had to get a guest pass. So, it was obviously sneaking.

If you didn't watch last week's Gossip Girl you probably have no idea what I'm talking about.

Cliff's costume should have been really offensive to me but it wasn't. And Victoria was a gorgeous geisha. Naturally, Tina was a witch*.

My Halloween costume was kind of a creativity fail. It was very last minute, and involved use of parts of my brother's devil from two years.



I also went trick-or-treating. Considering the fact that in a few days I'll be 16, it seems I'm getting a bit old but it was with four other people so I wasn't a loserish loner and it was quite fun.

We're just that cool.

*I love you, Tina!

One day, I might do an actual post.

Edit: Just to clear it up, XC = cross country, as in the sport involving running in the woods. I didn't know what it was until recently either so I shouldn't just assume everyone knows....

No One Wants To Pay To See Your Happiness

Mad fierceness yo!



J. Crew shirt. AA lamé leggings. Thrifted furry neck thing and heels. Wet Seal belt.




Forever 21 blazer and shirt. My friend Ally's old Catholic School uniform skirt. Target socks. Jeffrey Campbell oxfords.




Forever 21 blazer. Some random cami. Topshop pants. Thrifted shoes.

I had to climb out of my bedroom window to avoid the painters.... Haha what a rebel.

The insanely cool Yonctopus tagged me with the Brilliante Weblog award. I would just like to take this opportunity to say she is 50000000x as cool as I'll ever be and she's only 13!

She says "I luuurve her outfits. And her Docs. And her hair. IT'S RED!"

I've already gotten it, but I didn't tag anyone, so I thought I would tag a few people. I'm really bad at describing people though, so I'll just link. But they're all awesome.

The brilliant Isabel of Hipster Musings tagged me with the Brillante Weblog Premio-2008 award, "because she has brilliant red hair ever, and the moxie to wear corsets over top of her clothing". Thank you, Isabel!



I'm not entirely sure who to tag, though. I'm sure all the people I would like to tag have already been tagged....

I have been tagged by Dapper Kid! (definitely check out his blog if you haven't already—he a super-stylish guy and there is just so much goodness on his blog ;) )

Rules:

1. Pick up the nearest book
2. Open to Page 123
3. Find the 5th sentence
4. Post the next 3 sentences
5. Tag 5 people and acknowledge who tagged you

Anyway, the nearest book was... "The Confusion" by Neal Stephenson, which is the current book I'm reading.



This incredibly complex 800-page novel (which is part of a trilogy...) is my light summer reading, and I actually am really enjoying it even if I don't get everything. Anyway, if you are in to that sort of thing check out the Amazon.com page. BUT to the point:

"He [Bonaventure Rossignol] rose to his feet, triggering small avalanches—for he and Eliza had been waiting in this open sleigh long enough for drifts to form in their laps. As he tottered around to get a view of the garden entrance of La Dunette, he reminded Eliza club balanced on a juggler's palm. He had much in common physically with Pontchartrain; but where the Count's eyes were warm and brown, Rossignol's were hot and black."

Random, out of context, yay!

Tagging: Fashion Robot, Fashion Cupcakes, Stansbury's Treasures, Art Geek and Fashion Freak, Yonctopus Is The Bomb (even though she's at "lesbo camp"...)

Full of Filler
