Jacob trying the juice my sister Whitney made. He wasn't lying; it really was disgusting.

HIYA! I'm back & I know it's late but...HAPPY NEW YEAR!

It's funny. One of the things I wanted to do this year was blog more & I started off not blogging. But for good reason. I took sick again--another sinus infection. Can you believe it?--& just didn't feel up to doing actual blogging or checking out blogs for that matter. I just FINALLY got caught up on everything, like, yesterday so...yeah.

UPDATES:

When I was at the doctor, I met a dude named Randy who was my nurse. He was awesome & hilarious. He asked if he could call me t-fult which I didn't get & still don't. Maybe I missed something.

Met cute pharmacist again when I went to pick up my medicine.

Since I'm starting to feel more like myself again, I need to get back to my 5K training. TODAY.

There's still no snow in these parts. How upsetting.

Started watching a show called Downton Abbey. Finished both seasons in less than two weeks (the second season just started in the US this past Sunday on PBS, but I've already downloaded the whole thing. Muhahah). I recommend this show so hard. For real. Watch it. You will not be sorry & you'll be begging for more.

THE GOLDEN GLOBES ARE THIS SUNDAY. wut wut.

I was watching Jay Leno (I don't even like him, but I heard ~~my husband~~ Liam Neeson was gonna be on so I had to suffer through it for him.) & turns out Taken 2 is currently being filmed. I don't know about you, but I'm excited.

& some other things that aren't really exciting, but don't feel like writing right now. It's almost 3 in the morn so I've off to bed.

Later.

MERRY CHRISTMAS

noreply@blogger.com (nynga) — Mon, 26 Dec 2011 03:58:00 +0000

Spent a few hours with these beauties today. They're 4 days old. Such good babies. Here's a little something I put together for the family. Enjoy.

I hope everyone had a swell holiday!

We Need to Talk About Kevin

noreply@blogger.com (nynga) — Fri, 23 Dec 2011 16:15:00 +0000

I saw this a few weeks ago & oh my god. A total must-see. Seriously. If you're wondering, yes, it's based off the book with the same name. It's about a woman (played by Tilda Swinton) coping with the crime her teenage son (Ezra Miller). The crime? He goes on a killing spree at his high school.

TWINS!

noreply@blogger.com (nynga) — Thu, 22 Dec 2011 21:00:00 +0000

My sisters, mom, aunt (grandma for the 4th & 5th time!) & I spent a good few hours at the hospital waiting for these little ones to be born. They are super adorable & I can't wait to hold them!

Terrible photo, but this was the best I could get since we weren't allowed in. When we were leaving, we stopped for coffee & the guy there gave us free donuts. What a swell day.

eight nynga things

noreply@blogger.com (nynga) — Wed, 21 Dec 2011 15:00:00 +0000

1. When I went to see Sherlock Holmes last Friday night, they played the Dark Knight Rises trailer. Now, aside from the fact that Anne Hathaway is in it as cat woman (Why, Chris Nolan? Why?), this movie looks epic & Christian Bale looks edible.

2. Speaking of Chris Nolan, the new Batman movie is totally Inception 2 without Leo Dicaprio & Ellen Page…& the whole inception plotline.

3. I went to see a movie by myself for the first time when I went to see Shame. It was nice. I think I’m gonna do it more often.

4. I’ve been sleeping more & writing less because of this stupid thing I’ve got called a sinus congestion. It’s so hard to concentrate with all that going on.

5. I turned 20 earlier this month. On the 7th. It was rad. You should've seen my cake. Actually, I have a very funny story about the cake...I'll save it for later.

6. There are only 10 days left of 2011. How the fuck did that happen?

7. THE HOBBIT TRAILER CAME OUT. I may have had a miniature freak out. Oh my god, do I really need to wait until December of next year to see this? I CAN'T WAIT THAT LONG. WHAT IF I DIE?

8. My cousin is having her babies tomorrow! TWINS. A boy & a girl. Siblings to these little kiddies & this fella.

Shame

noreply@blogger.com (nynga) — Sat, 17 Dec 2011 03:47:00 +0000

Today, I headed over to the Main Art Theatre to see Shame. Finally. Very raw, real & honest film. Although it's not necessarily for everyone, I suppose. It's not a typical drama. There's not much dialogue or character depth, but basically, it's a film that follows the life of sex addict Brandon (played by fellow homie Michael Fassbender) whose estranged sister (Carey Mulligan) comes to visit without notice & interrupts of daily sex routine.

Y'all know (if not, well now you do) that I've been rooting for Michael pretty much since he started his career (he just got nominated for a Golden Globe. Proud mama is proud.) so I knew this was a must-see from the get go. Plus I really loved the previous film he did with Shame director Steve McQueen called Hunger (a must-see).

I recommend this. It is rated NC-17. So if penises, breasts & simulated sex/masturbation makes you uncomfortable, you might want to sit this one out or whatever.

holiday questions

noreply@blogger.com (nynga) — Thu, 08 Dec 2011 23:43:00 +0000

Hiya. I've seen these questions on a few blogs lately, but it's only when I came across these questions on Becky's blog that I decided to actually do them myself. So, here they are:

1. Egg nog or hot chocolate? Hot chocolate. Egg nog is gross.

2. Does Santa wrap presents or just sit them under the tree? When we were kids, he used to wrap our presents & sit them under the tree, but now since we're older, he doesn't even bother with either.

3. Colored lights on tree/house or white? Colored. We've got the flashing ones that come with the tree. They fade & change to different colors. TRIPPY

4. Do you hang mistletoe? ...No.

5. When do you put your decorations up? A little after Thanksgiving, usually, but we haven't even put anything up yet.

6. What is your favorite holiday dish? Green bean casserole. But only if I make it because I make it taste awesome.

7. Favorite holiday memory as a child? I remember never ever getting any sleep the night before Christmas because I was trying desperately hard to meet Santa Claus (& I was excited to get some presents). I used to creep out of bed every 20 or so minutes. The 20th time I got up, there were presents under the tree. It was like magic. I woke up the entire house (my mom, my dad & my sisters. My dad usually stayed in bed because sleep is better than seeing your kids happy faces as they open presents that Santa brought them on Christmas morning, duh.) Then we'd take a nap & later that day, we'd hang out with family (which meant more presents) & have dinner or whatever. God, I miss being a kid...

8. When and how did you learn the truth about Santa? I don't exactly remember how, but when I found out, I was a tad bit heartbroken & I was really amazed by how oblivious I was as a kid. The clues that Santa was a fake were all there. I mean, my mom & Santa had very similar handwriting. & where the hell did he enter through? We didn't have a fireplace/chimney (in The Santa Clause they did explain that but...I never that movie as a small child.) But man, I wish he were real. I wish he were real almost as much as I wish Hogwarts were real.

9. Do you open a gift on Christmas Eve? Nope.

10. How do you decorate your Christmas tree? Randomly. It looks very thrown together even though we usually spend hours on it. We have lots of ornaments. New & old. Way back to when I was in early elementary. Ah, those were the days.

11. Snow! Love it or dread it? I LOVE SNOW. Winter is my all time favorite season. Michigan is getting jipped on the snow though. The snow we did get stayed around for a very short time...but it was gorgeous. I just love how it looks when it snows on my street. It's looks like a painting. A painting painted with 3D paint, of course.

12. Can you ice skate? No. I wish I could. I'm a klutz so I don't see it happening for me. I love watching people ice skate though.

13. Do you remember your favorite gift? I loved everything. I think, though, one year I got a giant stuffed dog. If you thought I was an animal lover now, you should've seen me as a kid. I was obsessed.

14. What’s the most important thing about the holidays for you? My sisters & Christmas movies.

15. What is your favorite holiday dessert? I don't have a specific favorite. If it's not gross, I'll eat it.

16. What is your favorite holiday tradition? Tradition was a big thing when we were kids & when a lot more of our relatives were still living. Not so much now. But one thing we always do every year is have fun. We make sure whatever we do--whether it's staying at home & eating Chinese food, being stuck in traffic or going over our dad's stupid cousins house & playing that stupid white elephant game (which is only stupid if we're over there. any other time it's fun) with a ton of boring upper class, close-minded church people we just met literally 10 minutes ago--we make sure we have fun.

17. What tops your tree? A raggedy star because we're too attached to the one we have now to get a new one. It's still hanging in there though. It's got, what, another 20 years or so?

18. Which do you prefer: giving or receiving? I get joy out of both. For obvious reasons, I love receiving gifts & if you would've asked me that 5 years ago, I would've told you flat out that I prefer getting my own present. But now, I love getting stuff for other people just so I can see the look on their faces when I see them open it. Kids are easier to please so they're often the ones I'm giving to. :)

19. Candy canes: yuck or yum? Yum, but only the traditional peppermint kind. Another other kind is weird.

20. Favorite Christmas show? As a kid, my grandma (rest her precious soul) had us watch these Wee Sing videos & one of our favorites was called The Best Christmas Ever. Not gonna lie, I still watch that movie every year. It's just so great. It's funny, super corny & there's singing & dancing. If a Christmas movie doesn't have singing plus a good story line, I'm not hooked.

21. Saddest Christmas song? Sad? Aren't Christmas songs suppose to be happy & uplifting? Those are the only kind I listen to. Oh wait, that song about grandma getting run over by a reindeer is pretty shitty. Who thought that was a good idea for a song?

22. What is your favorite Christmas song? DON'T MAKE ME PICK.

23. Do you use an Advent calendar? No.

24. Do you go to church on Christmas? No.

25. What were your Christmas morning rules as a kid? Uh, we didn't really have rules. Whenever we got up, we were allowed to open presents, play with our presents if they were toys, make a ton of noise...If it was really early (which is usually was) we'd go back to bed for a few hours. It wasn't exactly a rule. Just something that happened every year.

concert experience

noreply@blogger.com (nynga) — Sat, 26 Nov 2011 07:11:00 +0000

a photographer from Wednesday night took this photo. I was way up there.

Wednesday was the night. The night I saw Simple Plan & yeah, it was one of the best nights ever. Now, I've been to a bunch of concerts in my lifetime, but this was by far the best one yet. I'm sometimes--if not always--bored with some of the opening acts (especially if I've never heard of them) as soon as they start, but this time EVERY SINGLE BAND WAS GOOD.

The first band to play was Mairanas Trench who I haven't even heard of before that night, but they put on a really good show. The lead singer has an angelic voice. I was sort of sad when they got off stage. Next up was The Cab. I've only heard one song by this band called I'll Run & I heard it, like, 4 years ago. Turns out, it was the first song they've ever written together or something. They were cool live. But at this point, I was really awaiting the next band who just happened to be Foreve/r the Sickest Kids. MY DUDES. I caught one of Kyle's drumsticks during the show. Bro, I almost never catch anything thrown into the crowd. It was my night.

Then finally SIMPLE PLAN. Oh my god, they were amazing. It brought me back all those years ago. They haven't changed a bit (well, maybe appearance-wise). And I almost caught another drumstick. It bounced right off my shoulder and went to some girl who gave it to the guy next to her. LIKE WHAT? They came back & did 3 encore songs & I almost had my neck snapped by this super buff guy who came out of nowhere and started jumping and flailing his arms in the air during a song that didn't even call for such moves.

Boo.

Afterward, I fought my way out of the crowd to look for my friend who had to get out a bit early because she was feeling faint. I didn't find her, so I stood outside & gulped down my water. She found me a few minutes later and had me come back inside the venue. Her dad & his friend were there! :) She showed me the picture she took with David (bassist in Simple Plan) I almost slapped her. What, what? I was totally jealous. But then she saw Kyle (from FTSK) & told me to go over there so I could get my drumstick signed. So I go over there & get that done.

Me: "Hey, Kyle. I caught your drumstick."
He took it from my hand & goes, "Hey. This is mine!"
& I'm like, "Yeah..."
Kyle: Cool. Can I sign it?
Me: Yeah.
He signs it. It is perfection. Then he hands it back to me.
Kyle: Did you enjoy the show?
Me: I did.
Kyle: Did you crowd surf?
Me: Noooooo.
Kyle: Did any crowd surfers fall on you?
Me: Yeah, I got punched in the face like 5 times & some of them fell on me...
He then rambles about how annoying crowd surfers are when they fall on you & how he wants to punch them in the face but instead chooses to just help them along. I asked for a picture. He's all, "Yeah." So we take a picture, but my friend's like, "Oh no. It's all blurry."
Kyle: Put on the flash then!
My friend: I don't know how!
Kyle: Give it to me.
He takes the camera & puts it on flash.
Me: Good job.
He nods in agreement & we retake the picture.
Kyle: Uh oh. Who's awesome! (or something like that. I don't know)
We laugh or whatever & I say thanks & I go over to see Jonathan.

These girls were talking up Jonathan who was just sort of standing by the merch table. I went and stood next to them. He acknowledged me with a nod then went back talking to them. I didn't want to break up this conversation so I waited until he was done. When they went away, I was like, "Hey Jonathan. Sign this?" I gave him a white t-shirt. He's all, "I don't have a pen." I'm like, "I do." He's like: "oh, you're prepared." & I'm like "Well, my friend is. It's not my pen." He's like "oh" then signs my shirt. I'm slightly irked that he doesn't remember me so I remind him of who I am & he's like: OH YEAAAAAAH. as he hands me back my t-shirt & pen. "You got new glasses" Me: "Yeah." & then he's like: "Lets hug." So we do & he says in my ear: Thanks for coming tonight, sweetie. And I'm like "No problem." And we break & I turn to go, but then I remember that I want a picture. So I turn back, "Oh, yeah. Could I get a picture?" He's like "Of course." He grabs me and pulls me close (like really close) & says in my face: "So we can cherish this moment forever?" & I'm like: "Yeah, duh." & then we pose, my friend snaps the picture. He stills holds on to me and goes, "Okay, baby girl, thanks again. You take care. Nice seeing you again." I guess him an affectionate arm squeeze & say: "You too. See you next time."

My friend was later confused. In the car she's like, "What were you and that guy from that band doing?" I didn't know how to answer because, uh, I don't know. So I just said: "We know each other" & left it at that.

Much later we met two guys from Simple Plan: Seb (guitatist) & Pierre (lead singer). They were cool & nice (as always) & I gave Pierre my awkward/cheesy letter I wrote for the band. I got so embarrassed afterward that I practically ran to get away from him after I handed the letter to him. Oh sweet jeebus.

On the way home, my friend & I were on such a high. I was already losing my voice so, uh, yeah, I'm pretty sure I sounded like a drunk cow. I didn't care. When I got home, I had to cook food for Thanksgiving the following day. It was, like, 1 in the morning & I barely had a voice left & I was tired. I was a extremely sore zombie when I went to hang out with my family.

happy thanksgiving

noreply@blogger.com (nynga) — Fri, 25 Nov 2011 04:11:00 +0000

On a daily basis, I am thankful for:

1. My sisters. Seriously the best sisters I could ask for.

2. My mom & dad. I wouldn't be here without them obviously.

3. The rest of my family. Unlike any family I've ever encountered. I'm glad I got stuck with them.

4. My puppy Davey for obvious reasons. Although...he's not much of a puppy anymore (he'll be three next June).

I'm also thankful for: my friends, the internet, my health, my life, films, music, being open-minded &...

the ability to go to sweet ass show. Yep, the Simple Plan one was yesterday night. I stood on my feet for 7 hours straight, got caught up in a mosh pit, got punched in the face several times & had several crowd surfers fall on top on me. You can imagine how my body is feeling today. See if you can spot me in this photo. Hint: I'm near the front.

I hope everyone had a swell Thanksgiving. I ate so much food, I think I can feel my body expanding. Totally worth it.

noreply@blogger.com (nynga) — Sat, 19 Nov 2011 01:37:00 +0000

1. I'm studying French again. I took it all four years in high school & haven't had one lesson since I graduated so now I've decided to pick it up again. God, I forgot how much fun learning French was. Maybe I should also go back to playing the violin in an orchestra...

lol syke.

2. I love Leonardo Dicaprio. Always have. I also love The Great Gatsby (one of my favorite books & films). But two of them together...I can't see it. I can't envision Leo as Gatsby no matter how hard I try. I will admit though, he looks pretty damn dapper in that suit.

3. Michael Fassbender, I am proud. Like proud mother proud. Look at you on the cover of GQ finally getting recognized for your talents. But seriously "breakout"? You've been around for years, bro.

Oh, you have trouble remembering who the hell he is?

Well, you may remember him as Stelios in 300 or Archie Hicox in Inglorious Basterds or Magneto in X-Men: First Class or as Rochester in Jane Eyre or in his breakthrough performance in 2008's Hunger. Maybe you saw none of those movies... Anyway, his upcoming projects include Shame, A Dangerous Method (he plays Carl Jung alongside Viggo Mortenson & Keira Knightley) & Prometheus.

11 is a number.

noreply@blogger.com (nynga) — Fri, 11 Nov 2011 22:51:00 +0000

11 things I did in the past few weeks: got sick, went to the doctor who told me I had a sinus infection, got prescribed some anitbiotics, met a cute pharmacist, visited my aunt who had major surgery, went to the doctor for a check up, got assigned an awkward but sweet doctor who looked about 20, got silently annoyed because I wanted my doctor & not him, my illness is gone but I have to continue taking my antibiotics until Sunday, ran every night (so far), wrote my novel.

PS. Happy Veterans day & happy birthday Leonardo Dicaprio.

hello november

noreply@blogger.com (nynga) — Wed, 02 Nov 2011 19:14:00 +0000

What the fresh hell? It's already November?! ONE MONTH LEFT & after that, no more 2011. I'm looking forward to this month. It's when I start officially (because I've been slacking for months) training my body for a 5K. It's one of my life goals to run one so I decided to get it out of the way now. I must be crazy to want to start when it's about to get colder, but hey, if I don't start soon, I'll probably never do it.

This month is NATIONAL NOVEL WRITING MONTH. Which means I'll be writing a novel. I haven't started writing the actual thing yet, but I've been working on the story, the characters & everything since the start of this year (it was originally going to be a screenplay). I don't like to stick to the "rules" of Nanowrimo because I like to do my own thing. I like the idea of writing a novel in one month, so I'm going to do it, but with my own rules & at my own pace.

Also, this month is when I go see SIMPLE PLAN. Okay, here's a fun fact, I frickin' love Simple Plan. In middle school, they were my all-time favorite band. 6 years ago on Oct. 30 marked the first time I saw them live & the first time I met them. I was in 8th grade at the time & I was super awkward & painfully shy & had hideous wire glasses. I waited outside for, like, 3 hours. I still have the picture of me & Chuck (the drummer) chillin' on my dresser. Then in 2008, my friends & I went to see them play in Detroit. Best night ever because A: Simple Plan (duh) & B: I got to meet them a second time & give Pierre (lead singer) the fabulous drawing I drew of them. C: We hung around downtown afterward & my friends dad (another SP fan) bought us donuts. DUDE, the things this band has done for me. I have never been more in love with a group of dudes than I have with them. Just...ugh. Now, the same friend I went with in 2008 just reminded me a few weeks ago that they're coming here again & that we should go together. Um, of course I wasn't gonna turn that down. This will be the first time I'll be going to a concert since 2009 (which is when I saw Forever the Sickest Kids who are also touring with SP so this show is gonna be all types of awesome). Freak out over because I'm beginning to sound like I'm in middle school again.

Thanksgiving (hello food), Black Friday (hello sales!), Christmas music (& possible tree decorating) are also happening this month. I get into the spirit of Christmas quite early, but never, ever before Halloween & always the second or third week into November. It just makes sense, doesn't it?

Okay, I'm going to go listen to Simple Plan & make pancakes now.

womb

noreply@blogger.com (nynga) — Fri, 21 Oct 2011 16:30:00 +0000

I have a confession to make: I have a crush on Matt Smith. I blame tumblr & Doctor Who. But what really did me in was this movie called Womb. It's a Romance/Drama/Sci-Fi movie about these two people named Rebecca (Eva Green) & Tommy (Matt Smith). They meet as kids & they sort of fall in love. Then Rebecca moves away to Japan. She & Tommy don't see each other for 12 years. When they do meet again, they hit it off right away as if picking up where they left off when they were kids.

On a road trip during a bathroom break, Tommy dies in a fatal car accident. Everything after that is very unpredictable & definitely not ordinary. Here's a trailer:

If you're interested in seeing it, you could watch it here. As you can tell from the trailer, it is beautifully shot. I love that it was more character driven than plot driven & filled with silences & random dialogue. It was gorgeous & sad & depressing & lovely.

And Matt Smith is perfection in this movie. His acting was great, his face was great, ~~the fact that he gets naked is great,~~ he's just dasdadjasdads. I don't see how I didn't notice how awesome he was before. Maybe I was in deniable.

fall is here

I'm not dead.

Just enjoying life & this awesome fall weather & Doctor Who.

If you don't already know this, I'm a superhero nerd. So imagine my excitement when I found out that The Avengers trailer was going to be released today. I watched it (about 90 times) & I can't even contain myself. It's so good!!!!!!!! dasfdkafdsafsada The super plus side to this trailer: THEY SHOW THE HULK I AM SO EXCITED ~~even though he's played by Mark Ruffalo & not Eric Bana like it should be.~~ Watch it & like it.

that's so raven

noreply@blogger.com (nynga) — Tue, 11 Oct 2011 02:20:00 +0000

This is my ~~niece~~ cousin Raven. She's made a couple appearances on the blog before. She posed for these pictures. She said: "Take a picture of me making a picture". She's a real character. I can see her becoming an actress some day.

blogger meet-up

noreply@blogger.com (nynga) — Fri, 07 Oct 2011 07:06:00 +0000

This is long over-due, but here are some pictures from the blogger meet-up I went to about two weeks ago. Brittany, Cat & I hopped into Sara's car & we drove to Ann Arbor to meet up with the rest of the girls. When we got there, we snacked on Better Made chips (Michigan brand) & Indoor s'mores (which I didn't get to try & I'm so mad that I didn't because it looked really good). Also there was Faygo (another Michigan brand) & I got to take the Orange flavored one home. Huzzah!

Other bloggers who were there: Suze, Katie, Jaclyn & Liz.

I was, in fact, the only non-fashion blogger there which was fine because everyone was incredibly nice & funny. I can't wait 'til the next Michigan meet-up.

plymouth orchards

noreply@blogger.com (nynga) — Tue, 04 Oct 2011 20:46:00 +0000

On Sunday, we traveled to the same apple orchard we went to last year to pick up some goodies & to check out the animals. No hayride this time. In fact we only stayed for about 20 minutes. There were A TON of little children there...plus it didn't have the same vibe as it did last time we were there. We had fun, but mostly for the food because it was so delicious.

This little black & pink/white pig was so sweet. I mean, they all were but this one in particular. Very loving. I wanted to take him/her home with me. So cute.

In photo: Whitney, Ashley (cousin) & Mama. Now on the goodies:

My mom's hand decided to bomb this photo.

So we had fun. We drove the long way back drinking cider from tiny cups and snacking on all the food we got. SO MUCH DELICIOUSNESS IN ONE SITTING. Going back again very soon.

Drive

noreply@blogger.com (nynga) — Sat, 01 Oct 2011 03:39:00 +0000

Sorry for the silence.

No. No, I'm not. Not really. I've been busy. What else is new?

One of the things I've been doing in my free-time is watching movies. Lots & lots of movies.

I finally saw Drive...& the night after I watched it, I couldn't decide if I liked it or not. It was so different & beautiful & weird.

Although the Ryan Gosling obsession is a bit of annoying & over the top, I sort of get it. The guy is talented & a bit good looking. Just a bit. All you Gosling lovers out there, he looks much better in person. Believe me (& I know you do).

Anyway onto the movie. So, I can't really spill the beans about the plot. At first, there really isn't much of one. The movie starts off as sort of slow &altogether there's not a lot of dialogue. But it works. I mean, this is probably my favorite Ryan Gosling movie besides Half Nelson (if you haven't seen it, what are you doing with your life?) & Blue Valentine. His acting was so effortless it was almost as if he wasn't even acting. He was scary.

& Ron Perlman (Hellboy nerd forever) was in it dropping F-bombs like it was going out of style. I LOVED IT.

So, go see it. You might like it, you might not. It's not for everyone.

series 3

noreply@blogger.com (nynga) — Sat, 17 Sep 2011 10:00:00 +0000

My favorite show is almost back for its third season! Last episode was almost a year ago. :O

If you haven't heard of Misfits, you're totally missing out. It's a UK based show. Apparently they have all the episodes on Hulu now.... So check it out there. It's awesome & they're only 6 episodes per series. It's the only show I watch besides 90210. Yeah, yeah, it's really bad & really lame, but that's the beauty of it. I guess you could say it's my guilty pleasure.

HERE'S THE TRAILER TO SERIES ONE IF YOU'RE REALLY INTERESTED. If not...well, I don't care.

PS -- Robert Sheehan will not be returning as Nathan--aka the Irish dude with the fierce curly hair.

1. You should always take time to enjoy the simple things in life or just life in general .

2. Love, creativity & Fassbender make(s) the world a happier place to be.

3. I can hardly wait for my birthday... I couldn't think of anything else .

4. MOVIE NIGHT is my favorite day of the week.

5. Something totally dumb and ridiculous that I love is totally dumb & ridiculous jokes. Jokes that don't make sense aka the ones that I make. I may think I'm hilarious, but other people might think I need counseling...or perhaps a new personality.

6. If I could, I would fly to New York for the New York Film Festival in a few weeks or for, I don't know, BROADWAY SHOWS OH MY GOD .

7. I rather like drinking coffee late at night .
