Puuuurty

New Layout!

Can you read everything alright? If not, tell me, and I'll fix it. No point posting anything if it's impossible to see, you know?

I think the background is preeeeeeeeeeety.

New layout for Darklightlullabye.com too! (it's a TREE. I'm beyond happy with it)

So feel free to feast with your eyes!

Poke Poke, Bunny

I learned recently that a relative of mine takes her three-legged bunnies to get acupuncture. Those poor, poor bunnies.

But as terrible as I feel for those bunnies (I think that's the point where you need to start thinking about the quality of life for those things), all I can think is: how in the world do you get into a profession like Bunny Acupuncture?

Somehow, I don't think it's a booming business.

Fortune Cookie's Are DELICIOUS!

And with Diane Setterfield's "The Thirteenth Tale" which just so happens to be like, my favorite ALL TIME non-fantasy book (which is saying something), I have officially hit BOOK #73!

And, with that said, I think I'm taking a break from my goal. It's getting distracting. Who would have thought that the ONE goal I work through is the one that turns out to be bad for me? Psh. Irony.

So, I have to admit: I did some retail therapy today. And not at all what you think. I needed a break, so I walked the mall, and yes: I splurged. I bought a key chain with a silver fortune cookie one it. It is probably to most epic thing I have seen.

(well, since I found the "fake mustache of the day!" 7-day pack. That is going to be pretty hard to beat.)

So I bought it, and every time I see my keys now, I smile. $8- NOT WASTED. Sweet.

I Miss My Blog

It has come to my attention that I rarely ever post. This is very true. However, situations are that I don't get around to the computer very often. Just like I don't get around to my laundry very often. (But often enough. It's not like I'm wearing dirty clothes. Ew. Don't think that. Cause it's not true.)

I often think of clever things that I'd like to blog. I often WANT to blog, but am not in a position to get on the internet.

"But Holly," you might say. "You post on Facebook so much more often than you actually blog!"

And although I'm pretty sure no one has ever noticed that, it is, essentially true. Why? Because I get Facebook and MLIA on my phone, baby! Sadly, and yes, I was very upset: I can not blog from my phone. So insanely disappointing, let me assure you.

Also, I might warn that I have no idea when this-- my grandma's computer-- is going to be unplugged, do to the fact she is moving. When? Who knows. Someone has to buy the house. And can I just say? having to be ready to have some potential buyer come look at the house any moment of any day is SO cramping my style. Yes, the style of "relaxed organization" and "nap time."

Anyways. So there is my formal apology. I wish I wrote more too. But the fact is: I'm lazy, so I don't get around to it a lot because there are obstacles. And that is that.

Just an idea: when disappointed because I haven't updated, why not check out mylifeisaverage.com?

Seriously. They need to pay me for all the publicity that I give them.

Insipiring Bumper Stickers

So, I saw a bumper sticker the other day.

"Say yes to good
and no to bad."

Wow. That's some deep thinking there, Copernicus.

Waldo? PSH. Found him!

BOOKS COMPLETED:
54. Wintergirls, Laurie Halse Anderson
55. 68 Knots A Novel, Michael Robert Evans
56. City of Glass (reread), Cassandra Clare
57. Ella Minnow Pea, Mark Dunn
58. Wondrous Strange (Lesley Livingston)
59. Dark light (Lesley Livingston)
60. Perchance to Dream, Lisa Mantchev

(60! woohoo! Right on schedule. Maybe. I should be farther, but I had the trash two books halfway through, because they sucked. Um... "Brigid's Quest" and "Wicked." BQ was about freakin Centaurs--- missed that imparitive word on the back cover before I bought it, and "Wicked" ended up being about Wicca stuff, and seriously? Not my stuff. It was uber creepy. Although there was a deaf kitten in it. CUUUUUUUUUUUTE.)

SO! Here I am! At the airport, AGAIN. When am I ever NOT in the airport? Seriously. It's where I get my serious blog time in (free wifi and all. It's so much better to be able to blog via my VERY AWESOME laptop instead of gram's computer. Which will probably be disconnected soon due to the fact that Gram's moving. Which means we're moving. Where and when? Psh. Who knows. All I konw is that Diego is going to be mad again that he's going on another road trip. (Aww... but he was so cute. He sat on my lap for twelve hours, his little face buried in the crook of my arm... d'aw. I darn love that cat. Sorry. WHen you're lonely, it's nice to be worshipped by something cute and furry.)

(would a baby fit in that category? Something cute and furry? Because it's nice to be worshipped by babies, too. Cute- yes. Furry? Well... they're mammals, so TECHNIQUALLY, it works, right?

(I totally just spelled techniqually wrong. I just don't know how to spell it. Technique.... techniqually... psh. I don't know.)

So. Anyways. Airport. Interesting place. Let's see, what weird people have I seen today? Um, well, acutally, now that I think about it, I HAVEN'T been thinking about it. Sorry. People watching report for today is a fail.

MLIA, however, is still as awesome as ever, if you're still wondering. I'm still waiting on being published a second time--- I've submitted a few stories already, but they haven't been reviewed yet.

Speaking of MLIA, I found a Where's Waldo book yesterday at Barnes and Noble (YES I WENT AGAIN EVEN THOUGH I SAID I WOULDN'T! I HAVE A PROBLEM, DON'T JUDGE ME!) and I was so flippin LEGIT... I seriously opened up the book and found Waldo in a serious 6 seconds. Celebrating, I turned the page, and found him AGAIN in like, 4 seconds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was so amazing. Not gonna lie. Rebecca is my witness, I was amazing.

Yeah, so I saw Rebok last night! CHUUUUUUUUUUUUUS. Loveeeeeeeeee Rebecca. My Dug. (SQUIREEELLLLL!) We had waaaaaaaaaaaay too much fun at Barnes and Noble last night. We found Baby Name books (don't know why I capitalized that) and looked up names for her NEW CAR. SOOOOOOO funny. I totally need one of those books. For naming characters and all. I've always just used babynames.com, but it's not too legit. One of these books was amazingly funny. I wish I remembered some of the comments. They were amazing. And they told you if the name was dorky or if your kid's name had beat-up potential. Very helpful.

BOARDING! WOOT!

PLEASE, don't let me get sick again... I ALWAYS get sick on flights. I hate it. So I took preventive meds this time. Hoepfully no migraine or naseua today. Because I might just explode.

There are a few things in life that no matter where I am, no matter what I am doing, if I think about it, it will make me stop and giggle out loud. (As you can imagine, this is not always convenient. But it is true.)

Three of these things include:

1. The Mylifeisaverage.com post: Today, I was in the car with my mom when I saw a parked car whose license plate included "RFF." Naturally, I read it aloud ("Ruffff"), and my mom swerved the car and screamed "OH MY GOD, WAS THAT A DOG?!" MLIA.

2. The time senior year in Physc when Brian B fell asleep, like usual, and he farted in his sleep. Which, in and of itself was pretty funny, but he farted so loud it woke him up. Everyone around had a giggle attack and he looked around all sleepily, not quite sure if people had heard him or not.

3... a picture... lets see if I can post it or not....
