Day 15 – Excerpt from a recent conversation
My mom: It’s a lunchbox…for lunches!
Me: Why do you keep saying that?
My mom: It’s from Toy Story. It’s a lunchbox…for lunches!
Me: Stop
My mom: But it’s a lunchbox…for lunches!
I swear, my mom is so weird lol
Day 14 – A band that you immediately liked and the song that made you like them
Most bands I like, I liked immediately. For Something Corporate, the song was Only Ashes. For the Promise Ring, it was Nothing Feels Good. For Automatic Loveletter, it was the Answer.
(look all those bands up, they’re awesome)
Day 13 – Songs I listen to when I'm Happy, Sad, Bored, Hyped, Mad
Happy: any Destiny’s Child or other upbeat pop music
Sad: Konstantine by Something Corporate & other depressing SoCo songs, Dizzy by Jimmy Eat World
Bored: I don’t really have any specific bored music but if I really can’t figure out what I want to listen to, 90s music never disappoints
Hyped: New Found Glory’s Sticks & Stones album
Mad: Nehalem by Everclear, some Eminem, Taking Back Sunday
Really, I’ll listen to anything no matter my mood though. Just cause I’m listening to Nehalem doesn’t mean I’m mad, but it’s a go to song if I am.
Day 12 – A picture of somewhere I’ve been
I spent a month in Europe over the summer because my dad is stationed in Germany, so I’ve seen a lot of cool places recently. But the Amalfi Coast in Italy was definitely the most beautiful. I wish I’d taken more photos there, but I only brought my iPhone along.
Day 11 – What’s in my bag
I don’t keep much in my purse. Pretty much just my iPhone, wallet, car keys, a pen and headphones. Sometimes I’ll keep a book in there or some other random stuff.
Day 10 – A guilty pleasure
My guilty pleasure is definitely stupid TV shows. Degrassi would be the big one. I don’t even really like it anymore, I just can’t stop watching! VH1 reality shows used to be a big one too, but now they aren’t as interesting as the Flavor of Love days.
Day 09 – Put your iPod on shuffle: First 10 songs that play
I used iTunes instead of my iPhone because I’m still getting stuff transferred back to that after having it repaired, but it’s the same concept…
Amphetamine ~ Everclear
Like Toy Soldiers- Eminem
Tire Swing Romance ~ Dropout Year
Get on Top ~ Red Hot Chili Peppers
Break Myself ~ Something Corporate
Irreplaceable ~ Beyonce
Moceanu ~ Bayside
Over ~ Jimmy Eat World
The Lounge ~ Asher Roth
Lonely for Her ~ Jack’s Mannequin
Day 08 – Favorite outfit
Skipped this yesterday because Tumblr was being weird & I didn’t have a chance to take a picture. I’ll come back to this one at some point.
Day 07 – About my pets
I have 2 pets, a dog and a cat.
My dog is 14 years old and we’ve had her since I was 5 (Christmas present). Her name is Princess (that’s what happens when a 5, 3, and 10 year old name a dog) and she’s a Maltese/Poodle mix. She’s pretty adorable when she isn’t begging for food/growling at me. She’s totally my mom’s dog though, and loves her the most.
My cat’s name is Gregor. He was a stray that followed my brother and my neighbor home from school (she named him Gregor because he’s grey and looks like a tiger) a few years ago. My family isn’t really into cats, but we took him in because he’s really sweet (besides his little problem with murdering lizards/birds/squirrels/moles/etc). We don’t know how old he is, but I’d guess maybe 4. The family that owned him before lived in our neighborhood and decided they didn’t want to take him with them when they moved (assholes, basically). He had a chip in his neck and the vet tried contacting them but they ignored all the messages. Apparently his previous name was Hanky lol
Day 06 – Item I have owned the longest
Not exactly sure about this one. I know I have a bunch of stuffed animals packed away somewhere that I’ve had since I was born/shortly after. And a blanket that my grandma made me, which I think is in the closet. But I’m not about to drag that stuff out and take a picture lol
The item I’ve owned the longest and actually constantly used is probably my video iPod. I got it right when they came out (Dec. 2005) and used it every day up until the end of last year when it decided it didn’t feel like playing music anymore (freezes every 5 minutes or so when I try to listen to it). But I still use it as an external hard drive, which it works perfectly for. Right now I’m using it to transfer episodes of Oz off my laptop and onto my netbook so I can watch them in bed <3
Day 03 – A picture of something that makes me happy
For this one I thought I’d do a couple of my favorite family photos (at least, ones I have on my laptop)…
My great-grandma, sometime in the 1940s or 1950s
My pap, cousin Michael, brother Adam, & cousin Alex, summer 2006
A snake literally fell out of a tree today and hit me while I was babysitting. WTF.
Momentary shock/disgust/confusion
- Rob: It was weird. It was like peeing backwards
- Me: What was peeling backwards? Your penis? What the fuck!
- Rob: Peeing. Not peeling.
