WELCOME WHO I AM WHERE I LIVE WHAT I DO


Song = You Could Be Happy by Snow Patrol

Do you ever feel like this?
Sometimes I feel like I would go the moon and back for someone I love, but they wouldnt even take a day out of their life to do something to make me happy.
There are 365 days in a year.
366 days every four years.
Say you live to be 100.
Thats 36,525 days.
Thirty six thousand, five hundred and twenty five days in your life time.
I'd give you all 36,525 of mine.
All I'm asking for is one of yours.

Come on.
Thats an extremely possible scenario.
We should just ban school from the world.
Its too hazardous....

.... No?
Ugh, fine.
I guess I'll just try to enjoy my last week of summer.
It shall include the zoo, the planetarium, cool science movies, a student film festival-type thing, and lots of hours spent editing a documentary.
Not too shabby, I suppose.
What are you doing this week?
Whether it be your last week of summer or not,
Lets try to make it memorable, yeah?
Do AT LEAST one super awesome thing this week and let me know about it.
Cause I just love it when I hear from you all.
Whoever you are.

I'm gonna go paint my nails now.

I have weak moments.
Like at night when I'm recapping my day.
In those moments I miss your presence in my day to day.
But for the most part,
I'm so over you its not even funny.
And the best part is
Our friendship was so miniscule on the scale of life,
On the scale of your life,
That you dont even know.
You dont even care.

I want to fall in love with life.
But to be honest, I'm incredibly bored with it.
I need something to get excited about.
I think thats why I havent blogged in such a long time.
Nothing has excited me lately.
Nothing has inspired me lately.
Which is ridiculous, really.
Because in the time since I last blogged,
I've gotten my license,
Been to Oregon,
Bought tickets to another Vampire Weekend concert,
And have had some cool talks with some cool people.
Totally enough to inspire someone.
And yet......

I mean,
I'm pleased.
But is that enough?
Does someone want to mosey through life simply being pleased?
I want to be excited.
Excite me,
Inspire me.
Is that really too much to ask for?
Clearly it is.

I literally almost feel asleep writing this post.
What does that say about me?

-Adriana


I really have no idea what I want to write about.
Well, thats a lie.
I want to write about Lorenzo.
.... Or Romeo.
.... Or Charlie.
Or whatever you want to call the ideal man after watching Letters to Juliet.
Which I just did with my mother.
As far as chick flicks go, it was a good one.
At the end, I found myself smiling for the characters.
And not a "Thats so sweet" closed mouth smile.
A "I'm so happy for them" teeth-baring smile.
So now I'm listening to the pop-iest love songs I have,
The kind of songs that make me want to grab my hairbrush, jump on my bed, and sing along.
Aka: lots of T-Swifty, some Jon McLaughlin a la Enchanted, Kissin U by Miranda Cosgrove, and Kate Nash amongst others.
(You should feel honored.
I just admitted some of my guiltiest music pleasures there.)
Really though,
I have no shame.
I've danced around in my room to You Belong with Me, or the iCarly theme song many a time.
Oh my gosh, I'm twelve.
Haha. Meh.
Honestly.
No shame.

I suppose that can be all for today, as I dont know what else to write about.
And now I want to go dance around in my room.
So my question for you today is: what are some of your guilty pleasures?
Come on - just admit it.


-Adriana


Disclaimer: I'm not saying iCarly is a guilty pleasure. That show is pure pleasure. I dont care if I'm 17, I love it so. Have you ever watched it? I bet you would love it. Or not. Whatever. I'm not judging - and neither should you.

The other day, I was with my sister Ingrid.
There was a clipboard around and I immediately wanted to do something formal with it.
So I wrote up some questions and interviewed her.
I quite enjoyed it.
And it got me thinking....
I love it when people do series on their blogs.
And I love doing the few series I've started.
("What? What series?"
Shhh.....)
So,
Without further ado,
I am starting a series which I woud like to call

In this series,
I will interview people who are near and dear to me,
Or even people who arent.
Just people who I find interesting.
Their interviews will have no purpose.
It'll just be fun, and something to do/something to read.
And you, the reader, can get a little insight on the people in my life.
Who, I suppose, in this series I'm calling "onions"
*Shrugs*

And my first Onion is my sister, Ingrid:

Adriana: If you were a fruit, which would you be and why?
Ingrid: A watermelon, because I think watermelons are the best fruit to have ever evolved on this planet. And they're juicy.

A: Can you bust a move?
I: Yes, but it depends on the time of day.

A: How do you spell "onomotopoeia"?
I: A-N-O-M-A-D-E-P-I-A.....?

A: Three words to describe your shampoo?
I: Cheap, bird [Dove], best.

A: What can you accomplish with 30 seconds and a microwave?
I: Leftovers.

A: What time of day?
I: What time of day what?
A: Just.... what time of day?
I: Dusk.

A: What do you think of the name Hector?
I: Red-headed mexicans.

A: What is hazardous to your health?
I: Pickle tampons.

A: What do the three R's stand for to you?
I: Reduce, reuse, recycle. Thats so boring, but its true.

A: Depressed mime or flambouyant debt collector?
I: Depressed mime.

A: Signature?
I:
I bet she wishes she took this interview seriously, now.

Well, that was fun.
Who shall I interview next?
Perhaps you?

-Adriana
