CRAP

All day I kept reminding myself that I needed to write a blog post today!
Now, of course, the moment I remember this would be when I only have three minutes left!
SO; bullets of the day!

• Got a migrane
• Ate good food
• Got some money from the grandma ;]
• Wished for a bunny
• Did some laundry
• Was sad that I have to go back to school tomorrow
• Shared some cupcakes I made yesterday.
• Drank some really good coffee out of my kick ass Ringo Starr mug
• Began making a book of fashion and hair things I want!

sorry, ran outta time!

rehearsal tomorrow till 6!

failure.

Blahhh. I'm already failing at BEDA. I guess it's still the third in some time zones, so I'm just gonna keep going. I had a super awesome weekend so far! I found the PERFECT dress and shoes for the surprise party in Northampton on Friday, and I can't wait to go wear them together to the party!

Today my friend Abby and I ended up getting makeovers at the Benefit counter in Macy's, cause they were having an event. It was pretty fun, and we looked really nice after!

I can't believe Easter is already tomorrow! So crazy.
I'm tired.
will write a long post tomorrow?
loveee

BEDA

Hey, everyone who doesn't read my blog! I just wanted to let you know that I am going to be participating in BEDA (Blog Every Day in April) this year. Or, I'm going to try my very hardest to, anyway!

I can't make this post very long, cause I am about to go to Northampton, Mass with my mom to hang out and go dress shopping! If you're lucky, I'll update again when I get back, or you may have to wait until tomorrow!

love,
k

AND, never mind. We were about to go out the door when my mom got a call about a late credit card payment. So, now I have to wait a little while, and I'll do some writing!

I am still head-over-heels with Polyvore! I'm getting pretty good at making sets, I think. I also started a group there, and we're about to end our first contest!

That's my most recent set. Do you like?


I will try my hardest to update you later on my day of travels!

(this time for real)

rain, rain, GO AWAY!

I hate the rain.

Normally it's just annoying and totally ruins my hair when I straighten it.

But all of the rain we've been getting recently has caused our basement to flood. 

Our finished basement.

And we have carpet.

NOT FUN.

So for the majority of the day, I've been running the water vacuum every hour. My dad and I have been trading off shifts. I thought I was going to get to sleep now, but my dad just told me I have to do another one. Now, that would be alright, except for after I finish that, I have to stay up for another hour so I can wake my dad up. And I am so tired! I had to get up semi-early today, and tomorrow after spending the night in water land, I have to work a car wash! Not exactly the thing I want to be doing on Spring Break.

[/rant]

So other than that, things have been going pretty well! I went to see The Last Song with my friend Lauren tonight (actually it's 1:27, so yesterday,  I guess). I didn't expect to like it, but it turned out to be pretty cute! A little too much making out, though. Sorry, I just don't really wanna watch twenty thousand minutes filled with colorful camera angles of two people shoving their tongues down each others throats. 

Spring Break! It's gone alright. My dad and I went on a little 'bonding' day, where we painted pottery at this local place and then had lunch at the Cheesecake Factory. It was pretty fun, considering my dad and I don't generally get along very well. But, all of that nice-happy-my dad and I are on good terms-stuff went away when we came home and found the basement flooded with water. We're probably gonna lose our carpet too, which is really suckish, cause it was in no way cheap.

Blah. It's time for me to return to my new best friend the water vacuum. fun.

once more with /FEELING/

Well, hello! Life in Kylieland has ben very busy as of late, as rehearsal for the show I am in just started. We are doing Metamorphoses, an adaptation by Mary Zimmerman. I'd been very excited to do this show, and we're putting it all together in less than two months! I am totally scared, but psyched at the same time! I am playing the 1st laundress, Oread, and Pomona! My favorite of them all is Pomona, and I've seen my costume sketches and they're gorgeous!

I've continued in my Buffy-watching, and I've just finished the 6th season. Tomorrow my friend Lydia is bringing me her copy of the 7th season! So far, I have LOVED the musical episode, Once More With Feeling, and I am listening to the music as we speak!

Let's see, what else?  . . . I had a voice lesson a few hours ago, and things are going really good! I think that I've improved a lot since I started going! I just finished Sixteen Going on Seventeen from The Sound of Music and am moving on to Many A New Day from Oklahoma!.

Tomorrow I am going to see a show at the Yale Repertory Theatre and I am very excited!! It's a comedia  del arte show, which means the performers all wear these amazing masks! I was a part of one, A Doctor in Spite of Himself by Moliere, so it's gonna be great to see it from another perspective!

Love
k

i will walk through the fire

cause where else can i turn?

i will walk through the fire

and let it . . . 

fe fi fo fum!

Life hasn't been that interesting lately. I dunno why, but things have been pretty bland. I've basically gone to school, ate, and been watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel. I just finished the 5th season of Buffy on Friday, and I'm about to finish season one of Angel. One of my friends got me way into it, and my english teacher has a thing for it too. It really is a great nerdy show!

Today I hung out with some friends who spent the night last night, and went to the mall with one of them and my mom! I didn't get much, just a green plaid button down from American Eagle and Aqua Eyes black eyeliner by Makeup for Ever at Sephora. It wasn't a really successful trip, but I ended it by getting . . . cupcakes! I got to take advantage of the four for seven-twenty five deal! So, I also tried the vanilla bean ones, and they were excellent! Still waiting for the new flavors to come in though . . .

Tomorrow my family is going out for my Gram's birthday to this indian restaurant, and I really hope it's one of the places where you get to sit on the ground! I've always wanted to do that!

Man, I really don't have much to talk about!

...books!

red velvet

I am a bad blogger! I used to want to post multiple times a day, and I would freak if I forgot a day! Maybe if I got some comments I would write more . . . (*hint* *hint*).

So, I am pretty happy right now. Why? I was at the mall today with some friends, and before we left, we stopped at the Starbucks in the mall. We all got frappucinos,  but I, knowing I was coming home to an empty house, decided to pick up something special . . .

A RED VELVET CUPCAKE!

Yeah, not as exciting as it could be, but I lovelovelove red velvet cupcakes. Plus they put it in this adorable little box made especially for cupcakes! There's a little circular hole in the bottom where it sits and looks so cute! It wasn't too expensive as far as red velvets go, it was 2.25. But, for only around 7 dollars you could get four! So, with this inspiration, I have developed a few starbucks happiness combo meal things! I hope that you enjoy them!

I'm trying to be a good blogger, and I'm updating!

Now that I changed it from one-hundred books to fifty, I am about half way there! 

Today was an overall not so good day. We had a 90 minute delay for school*, and I ended up missing the only class I actually wanted to go to. Odd for me, it was gym. I'm your stereotypical picked last, un-fit, non-sports person you'll meet, except for volleyball. I actually enjoy playing volleyball. Plus, I'm pretty alright at it! 

When we did get to school, I started my day off with a Latin test, which I probably didn't do so hot on, and Algebra II. That class could make me unhappy after winning the lottery. It's kind of lame, but that class almost makes me cry a lot, and out teacher is not understanding at all to people who don't understand. So, I've already started looking into Kenyan College, even though I'm a lowly freshman, because I've heard they have no math requirement.

Then, we left early from school, only it wasn't really early. We have mandatory after school programs from 2:45-3:55, and we got to leave at 2:30. I basically had to go to school for the sucky part of the day.

When I got home, I hung out for a bit and had grinders and sundaes with the parents! Fun stuff, especially since the mom told me I can skip work/school with her on Friday! Blog update, anyone?

really, i need sleep!

*We should have had no school, but I go to a magnet school, so the people in my town (where I live) have February/April break, whereas the school/town where I go has March. When we have snow, students go by the town they live in first, and then by the town the school is in. The school is in a city, so they don't cancel school often, where as I live in a suburban town where the do. I realize that is confusing and probably makes no sense whatsoever.

untitled because i currently lack creativity

I am a bad blogger!
I used to update almost every day, and now I take way too much time to update. It's probably because I'm obsessing over the website Polyvore! If you'd like, you can see my profile here. I also just finished watching ALL of the Brotherhood 2.0 videos. It was a massive task, and I feel like I have nothing to do anymore.

I think I neglected to mention that I was in auditions for our next play, Metamorphoses. Well, last monday the cast list went out! I didn't get the part that I wanted, but I'll be playing the First Laundress, Oread, and Pomona. The play is going to be really cool, especially because when you buy the rights to the play, you have sign something saying you'll use a pool in your production. Not only will that be visually pleasing and fun to be in, my elective in school is Set Construction, so I get to help BUILD IT! Our rehearsals start March 15th, and I'm very excited!

Now, most people have school vacation this week, but I don't, so updates will probably still be slow. However, there is a storm coming in, so I very well might be home tomorrow! Also, I might skip on Friday and hang out with the mother!

p.s.
Due to my failure, the 100 Book Challenge has now been changed to the 50 book challenge. If I complete that this year, next year I'll do the 75 book challenge, and after the 100 book challenge.

ahh this was one minute from being published at 11:11

I have a follower! *sqeee*

Anyways, today I have no school! We were supposed to get more than a foot of snow, and it's 11:00, and no sign of snow. Not that I'm complaining, I really don't like snow so much, actually. It's not so much the snow as it the snow means its less than 32 degrees outside. So, I am in my house on my laptop, about to eat some pizza (it smells REALLY good!).

I had the worst morning, for some reason, I just could NOT stay asleep. I woke up the time I would for school, and somehow I was wide awake . . . it was strange.

But onto more interesting things, I still haven't talked about the lion king! I found a few pictures of it online, since I obviously couldn't take any of my own.

Again, I did not take this picture, I do not own it or anything that it's related to. I got it here.

But, on another note, it was amazing. I was so surprised by how much I enjoyed it. The costumes were beautiful, and overall the staging was perfect. Since my family doesn't go see shows very often, we try to get good seats to the ones we do go to. We were in the third row! I'd never gotten to be so close to the stage in a show, and it was a great experience. With this show, though, sitting back further would be just as cool because of the masks! Where we sat, we focused more on the actors faces, but further back you would get the feel that the masks were actually part of them. So, if you live in or around any of the dates in the link from the last post, you should definitely go! And, if you happen to be reading this, and you have seen the show, tell me what you think!

In the meantime, I'm keeping my eyes here.
