nailed it - pt 2

in case anyone out there is dying to be up to date on my nail polish colors, this post is for you!!

i replaced the one white nail for a super glittery muli colored polish. definitely better choice. lovin it.

the polish in the pic may be sparklier than it appears.

nailed it!


so i got the urge to be a little fashion forward.

i really wanted to do a glitter gold, but alas i had no such thing in my polish collection.

im digging the navy and white, although i think im gonna go buy some gold and paint over the white.


ps. the subject is a pun, hehe.

resurrection of the blog.

going to ramble on a lot and if people read it, then so be it.

mostly, i find myself twittering too much and i need to stop. #itsanaddiction and #noonereallywantstoreadallofthat #hashtagmania

i wonder if i name my kid judas, if he will be a backstabbing prick automatically.

but what if he never reads the bible, then will he have a better chance of being normal?

its a good name. and a terrible song by lady gaga.

fill in the blank friday



 {panama city beach, florida}

1. The best day ever was going out to a delicious dinner with the new boy and on the way home we saw a poster for the Beatles cover band Abbey Road... turned out they were playing at that very moment so we spontaneously walked to the concert and it was so freakin amazinggg. 

2. My favorite meal of the day is lunch because i love day time, & i love all the different sandwiches that i make for myself. mmm.  

3. This (past) weekend i went to panama city beach, florida for my spring break!! (aka SBX... the x being roman numeral 10 for 2010). it was the best time in the world with 9 other friends and so many freakin crazy memories. im the typical college student, what can i say :P.

4. Never in my life have I gone skydiving.. and i reallllly want to! omg.

5. The only thing better than finally going pee after holding it for a very long time is having a good hair day on the same day you picked out a super cute outfit and are actually going out somewhere where people will see you.

6. I could really do with some sun. it has been cloudy and rainy and yucky for wayy too long in georgia and its totally depressing. thank goodness it was sunny when i went to the beach!

7. The most recent thing I bought myself was a pineapple willys tshirt and travel mug when we went there for lunch on sunday.

fill in the blank friday


 {via idk}

yea uh, im being a super lame blogger. i have been too busy blah blah blah. more posts to come in the future, i promise :). [and they will have more thought than fill in the blank friday lol].
but until then, learn about me! yay! (pretend its friday, k?)



1.  If I could  medal in an olympic event it would be  snowboarding half pipe (a girl snowboarder? totally hot.)   .

2.  If I was stranded on a deserted island I'd take    my iphone (i'd get 3g right?) ,     my family    &  my teddy bear, jeremy (hehe) .

3.   getting choked by anyone who even gently touches my neck... and thinking im going to get in a fatal car wreck like everytime i drive somewhere  are my most irrational fears.

4.  I'd rather   work   everyday,  than    go to school   everyday.

5.  I am  going to buy a new bathing suit for spring break 

6.  I should really be   wearing my old bathing suit instead of spending money i dont have

7.  One of my favorite things in all the world is  music, hands down .

im gonna be a lawyer?


random fact about me #2: i currently am a second year at UGA, the university of georgia.

the other week, i applied to the business school to be a finance major.
im settled with finance major and im kinda pumped but not really. i havent taken any finance classes, so thats a big reason why im iffy. (you cant take any unless its your major).
i realize it would be a very fruitful career, though. and i like math, so im sure ill like it once i dive into it.

but right now, im in a legal studies class. and im loving it. i am actually reading my textbook.. and on the weekend!! and if you know me, this is an ultra rare occasion to be reading textbooks. i dred it.
and i only do homework on sundays, but this past saturday i was reading my legal studies and taking notes like an actual hardworking student. it was mind blowing.

i have always been interested in being a lawyer, but i always figured the school is just way to freakin hard and intense and i wouldnt be able to get myself to do the reading and work required.

however, ever since last week, i have seriously been considering getting on the route to be a lawyer. it suddenly just struck me as something completely interesting and exciting.
i would be a contract lawyer, definitely not a court lawyer.
&& i would hopefully get to do something international because im almost fluent in spanish and im starting on french.

what exactly excites me about it, you ask?
well, for one, i crave creative logic. i love solving problems and figuring things out. i have always been one for mathematics.
second, i also found that i enjoy english. i never enjoyed it till i got to college and found out that im actually good at writing lol. in high school, it was always about literature, which i hate. but i do enjoy the composition part of english. & i figure lawyers probably need to know how to write papers.
third, i will be required to interact and deal with people. which always interests me. (but i will also have time to myself when i am researching a law or code, which will be nice).
fourth, a lawyer with a finance undergrad? ill be unstoppable!!


so, my new life goal: to be a finance undergrad, then go to law school. become a contract lawyer for a big international corporation. and be super hot and fashionable while doing it. (bump boring work suits, hence the polyvore pic above).

fill in the blank friday


{via idk where}

hm. this photo is just.. gorgeous.. 
im obsessed.
& im actually trying to sketch it.. but drawing people is like the hardest thing.
i have no idea why.
sooo my sketch will probably fail to make it on my blog :P.
but thats a side note!

so todays post comes from the lovely lauren of the little things we do..
just a little something for this lovely friday afternoon.
im sitting in a coffee house on campus and im totally relaxed.
mm.

1.  If I weren't a    student getting a finance degree                I'd love to be     student getting a graphic design degree                  

2.  When I'm super upset I    distract myself with some music or a gilmore girls session... usually followed by a nap     . 

3.  My favorite thing about myself is   my open mindedness, and my creativity            .

4.  If I found a $100 in the pocket of last winter's coat I'd spend it on   _a shopping spree at forever 21            .


5.  Even though some people might consider this a flaw, I love    my bowl-leggedness... it made ballet harder when i was little but now it just makes me more.. me.             .

6.  I love the way I feel    when i wake up early enough to just lay in bed and be absorbed by my blankets and thoughts       .

7.  I love my hair most when it's     deciding to curl pretty, instead of haphazard and frizzy      .












PSssstt. giveway. what more do i have to say? well, ill tell you where it is. the lovely sara-jane. one day, im gonna win one of this blog give aways. and im gonna be happy for like a week and a day.

zooey d.


{via}

can i please have zooey d's hair??
k thanks :).

recently i got myself some bangs, and my hair is the same color, so im kinda close.
&& i also have naturally curly hair.
so you might be thinking, well then you have zooey's hair!

yea, well its not that easy.
you see, when i scrunch my hair with mouse, its TOO curly.
and when i try and curl it with a curling iron, its a total fail and falls flat in a minute.
so how do i achieve that optimal messy wavy look?
no idea.

and also.. i need like twice the amount of hair, because mines super thin and i cant have as thick of bangs as id like.

final step: buying the allison headband from busy bee lauren's etsy shop.
(being a broke college student hinders that. bah.)

*sighs*
one day..
one day....


Monday, January 25, 2010

i could go on all day ...but i wont.

random fact about me #1: im extremely indecisive, ADD (ok, not really, but pretty close), and get bored super quick.

so if you have been reading along with my blog, you know that ive been working on a painting for wayyy too long. i will finish it, i promise. but no matter how hard i try, i cannot focus on one thing for an extended period of time.

thus, i bring you yet another hobby of mine (other than drawing, painting, photography, graphicing, cooking):
my iphone!

no, i dont mean i sit around playing games all day lol. im talking about jailbreaking. which basically means i hack my phone so i can put cool apps on it and theme it to my liking. & now im gonna go on a nerd rant cus i want to :P. 


my current theme:



& thats just the half of it! its themed through and through with matte pop-ups/buttons and pretty loading screens and more. too much to show though.

i dont have too many apps from the jailbreak simply cus they slow the phone down a lot (iphones just do not have a ton of memory space). the ones i must have are:
-categories (so i can put all my games in a folder and not have a million pages to scroll through)
-font swap (allows me to have any font i want)
-status notifier (it puts icons in the top bar for sms, mail, phone on vibrate, and missed phone calls)
-backgrounder (so i can run pandora in the background like the ipod can)

just having the theme and the few apps does slow my phone down a little bit, but i think its totally worth it.

and while christmas was a month ago, im gonna share my xmas theme too cus its baller:

 

(the lights around the edge blinked. total memory suck, but soo cool!)


so there you have it. the love of my life. my jailbroken iphone :).



my owlie

so i made a new layout!! the flowers is a pic i took, so hands off :P.

here is a little tribute to the owl i previously had in my banner.
i drew him, and i love owls, so he will always have a piece of my heart.

perhaps he shall pop up again?

until then...
