Friends Only.
Around 99% of my journal entries are Friends Only. Please comment on this post if you want me to add you - if you don't, I won't have any idea. Also, if you have a Friends Only journal it'd be great if you added me first, so I can look at your journal. ♥

Maybe it's just me...but wasn't Zeffirelli ahead of his time when he cast Zac Efron as Romeo!? I mean, who knew the kid would be so big now-a-days!?

Evidence )

I mean, sure, he looks a *teensy* bit different, now, what? 40 years later? But, in essence..

Further instruction )

...maybe it's just the hair? Leonard Whiting has much better cheek bones

But, in all seriousness, I'm watching Romeo + Juliet again. I'm going to watch the Luhrman version tonight, hopefully. Why is Shakespeare so amazing?

Welcome to my Annual Book Challenge for 2009. You can find the two parts of my book challenge for 2008 below along with a survey about my reading habits. For 2009 I am challenging myself to read 52 books within the year. This can include re-reads, children's books, plays, audiobooks...whatever I decide to count for the challenge. Last year I read 73 books and was going to bump up my challenge to 75. But because I'll be starting college this year I figured 52 would do again for this year just as a testing point. You can also find Part 2 of this year's book challenge below, because Part 1 got too large.

What I'm Watching

  • Jul. 23rd, 2008 at 9:09 PM

Me > Everyone Else

  • Feb. 16th, 2008 at 10:04 PM
happy; giggle; til
Some people have friends. I have people my age who I babysit (+ a few jewels like [info]cashmerekisses, [info]happypeppypunk, [info]smathers and [info]kris932 + precious few others...thank god for them)

Some people have hobbies. I obsessive compulsively make icons.

Some people go out and have fun. I stay at my other grandma's if I'm feeling very outgoing.

Some people paint nails, do makeup and giggle at sleepovers. I force people to watch 1408 and Saw II while trying not to sing "We've Only Just Begun" or fall asleep at the sound of Donnie Wahlberg's voice.

Some people travel lightly. I carry a laptop, four seasons of Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Band of Brothers and several books + other DVDs wherever I go.

Some people shop for clothes. I sort through big piles of dusty books and literally squeal with joy when I find one on 'my list.'

Some people have big plans for Spring Break. I'm just waiting for the summer after my senior year so I can go on a road trip with a chick from Florida <3

Some people have cell phones. I dropped mine in tea.

Some people are pretty cool. I am amazing.



(Yes, I'm a narcissist. I blame Benadryl.)

Oh, and I'm still sick. However, my sore throat is better...my cough is worse, but, meh.

I posted icons
