Saturday

Was a wonderful day. I spent the early afternoon lounging around and doing nothing in my pjs. But then feeling that I should do something I got dressed and headed outside with my camera and book in tow. It was in the low 60s and gorgeous! All my little flowers are coming up and the wind danced across my face pleasantly.

I love writing

I'm in a creative writing class, and it is amazing. Best class I've ever taken. Writing is my passion. It is my calling. I need to do it.

Anyway, my point is that I love writing short stories! They are, well, short and sweet. You get to include tons of details and all the important stuff. That, I don't have the patience to go for more then 10 pages or so.

MONSTER TOAST!

Yay, tonight is going to be great! My best friend is coming over and we're going to get ice cream, make monster toast, eat deviled eggs, and be silly. What is monster toast, you ask?
Step 1: Acquire white bread, white milk, food coloring, egg cups, and q-tips.
Step 2: Pour the milk in the eggs cups.
Step 3: Mix the food coloring into the milk to make any shade or color you want.
Step 4: Using the q-tips and food colored milk, 'paint' on your bread!*the best part*.
Step 5: Toast the bread (lightly)
Step 6: (If you want), spread peanut butter on the un-painted side and enjoy!

My own little island...in another life.

I haven't posted in nearly a week! Wow!
Yesterday was so beautiful, I had to do some gardening(on St.Patricks Day, hahaa). I took some pictures and had a ton of fun. I love gardening. The smell of fresh earth beneath my feet, the birds singing to me, and all the little flowers coming out to say hello. Ah, I love spring.


I am in love with those sandals.




and more (:

Inspired by The Clothes Horse.....

1. What is your favorite color?
Yellow. It's such a nice color. My room is a very lovely light yellow and it looks different in every light. The funny thing is, I dont' wear very much yellow. I just like looking at it!

2. Describe your daily routine.
Well, my mom comes in a wakes me up for school at 7. At around 7:15 I drag my lazy butt downstairs and into the bathroom. I go potty, brush my teeth, sometimes I put on moisturizer, and I get dressed. My clothes are pre-picked the night before, just to save time. After I'm dressed I do my hair and makeup. That only consists of brushing my hair, powdering my face, putting on some eyeliner, and a little mascara. Then I'm in school at 7:50. Classes start at 7:57 and I get out at 2:21. After school I take my 'lovely' cheese bus home and walk up my dangerous drive way and am in the door by 3:15. Then I call my mom, get a snack of cheese(haha) and some cranberry juice and turn on HGTV. I am a HGTV whore. I love everything on this channel! Then at 4 I turn on Ellen and do some *ugh* homework. Maybe I'll go to the gym with dad after that, but usually I have dinner and then do some blogging or MNIing. I'm very boring.

3. Why did you decide to start a blog?
I've been reading them for a while now and everything is so inspiring to me that I couldn't resist anymore!

4. Describe your style of dress.
I tend to wear black everyday. It's not gothic black, more sophisticated black. Seeing as we have very cold winters I favor dark wash skinny jeans and cardigans. Sometimes I go with a flowy dress and some tights, but I usually just stick to jeans. I've been described as 'elegant', 'cool', and 'eccentric'. I think those fit, but I'm just Jessica! I dress how I want to dress.

5. What do you absolutely love to do?
Read. I will forever have my nose in a book. It's a wonderful way of escaping everytday life and the characters of a book will be with you no matter what.

6. Do you have any pets?
Yes, I have three cats; Samantha, Ginger, and Jonathan. Sam is rather fat, grumpy, and funny. She has black fur but a white tip at the end of her tail. She doesnt like me much ha ha. Ginger is so funny. She's very tiny but when she looks in a mirror she see's a lion! She regularly 'beats up' poor Jon. Jonathan is my cat. He's very silly and adorable. He's scared of everything, drools, and loves to cuddle. He is the best cat ever! Ginger and Jonathan are brother and sister and they both have dark gray coats with black markings. Sam is their mother.

7. What are a few of your favorite things?
Jonathan, Harry Potter, clothes, my paleness, trees, rain, sunsets, nail polish, flowers, perfume, reading blogs, traveling, sleeping, my bed, Lamby and Bonsai, writing, reading, yellow, black, purple, light pink, light blue, navy blue, Forever 21, H&M, Barnes and Noble, purses, sandals, ink stains on my pinkie, LOADS OF THINGS! I could go on forever.

8. Do you plan on having any kids in the future? What would their names be?
Yes, I want 1 child and I want her to be a girl. I love names, I have loads picked out for future reference. Violet Hermione, Tallulah Joanne, Henry Ronald, Benjamin Harry, Flora, Cordelia, Alicandra(Alice-andra), Arabelle, Luella, Lucas, Owen, Noah, Hart, Brian, the list goes on and on.

9. What is your favorite song of the moment?

You and I-Ingrid Michaelson. Ingrid is pure genius, and this song is so wonderful and cute. You should really give it a listen.

10. Final question! If you could live anywhere in the world or travel anywhere in the world, where would it be?
I plan on living in London when I'm older. It's just such an amazing city, and I just have a gut feeling that I belong there. I would love to travel through Ireland, Romania, Germany, France, Alaska, and maybe Russia. Who knows though? I could end up anywhere.

A wonderful day for pictures...

Today was a very overcast, a bit chilly, and gorgeous day. I love the way everything looks when the weather is like this and I could take pictures of it all day! So I did (:

Grrrr...

I'm very angry with myself. I got the pedicure that I've been wanting for a while now, but I'm regretting it. It cost me $30 total, including a $5 tip*only because I havent shaved in weeks and I have callouses**and I felt really bad for the girl*. My toes are very nice and soft and pretty, but I could have spent that money on some new spring clothes. For example, after the pedicure, I wandered into Forever 21 and American Eagle and H&M and wanted to kick myself. They all had new things in, and all were very springy, cute, and I loved everything! I was so angry. All because of a dumb pedicure. Even though I was in need of one. The only good thing that came of this is that once I have a warm spring day I can wear my new gladiators!



Speaking of spring, I really, really need to go shopping. *I feel like I'm always saying this*

1. I need more sandals
2. I need a new pair of skinny jeans
3. I need more dresses
4. I need more skirts! I only have 1! Eeep!
5. I need more tights
6. I need MONEY. and to find someone who will hire an almost 15 year old. "/

Speak to Trees

In English class we started the book Speak today. I'm on page 20, and I love it so far. One thing that is really cool about it is how real it is. The main character, Melinda, is a total outcast that no one likes in 9th grade. I'm in 9th grade and I can sort of relate to not having a lot of friends. Not that I'm hated, but I'm not exactly part of the popular crowd, and here I am on a friday night with no plans.
Anywho, in the book Melinda describes her art teacher and how cool he is. He has a globe that has a big hole where texas is supposed to be. Inside the globe are a bunch of little red papers that have one word written on them and the students have to take that word and use it for the rest of the year to create their projects. Melinda's word is Tree. How cool would that be to get to work with trees? Sculpt trees, draw trees, write about trees, everything! I am so jelous. Not that any of my trees would be good, but still. I could come up with hundreds of ideas, and it would be oh so fun.







I got this off of The Tea Drinking English Rose..fun fun!

*What are you wearing now? victoria's secret PINK sweatpants, an Old Forge navy hoodie, and slippers. I've been having a lazy day.
What’s the last thing you read/are currently reading? well I was in the process of reading Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen when I decided to switch to my lovable favorite, Harry Potter. Then today in English class we started reading Speak.
Do you nap a lot? Not really, only short little ones on the bus ride home(I get off last..)
Who was the last person you hugged? my mommy
What’s your current obsession/addiction? Harry Potter as always, writing, chocolate, and music.
Which item from your closet are you wearing most lately? Hmmm thats a tuffy. I'd have to say skinny jeans and my black uggs, seeing as it's winter.
What's for dinner? I had a fish sandwich that wasn't all that great and then a chocolate cream pie peice whose bottom was hard "/ I was disappointed.
What was the last thing you bought? uhh...a bracelet that I wish I hadn't. but it was only 4 dollars!
What are you listening to right now? Caroline's a Victim-Kate Nash
If you could have any super power, what would it be? invisibility
What is your favorite weather, and why? rain on a warm spring day. I love the smells and seeing all the flowers afterward.
What time do you usually get up? On school days around 7 but on weekends around 9
What is your most challenging goal right now? school!
Say something to the person who tagged you: I love all you little poems and pictures, and you mouse is the cutest! It makes me want one!
If you could have a house–totally paid for, fully furnished–anywhere in the world, where would you want it to be? I would want a little cottage in Ireland or England. Or a loft in New York City...or London. I can't decide!
Favorite vacation spot? Cape Cod, but I would love to visit the Irish countryside.
What is your favorite item of clothing? skinny jeans and rings
Favorite pair of shoes you keep going back to over and over, even though your closet is overflowing with a zillion others: my black uggs(because it's winter and very chilly) and my polka-dot sketchers. They are love.
Name one thing you cannot live without: love.
What time is bed time? around 10:30 ish. I love sleeping.
If you could be somewhere right now. where would it be? Ireland

My Days

Are filled with boring ol' nothings! It's so annoying! I despise being in high school. I want to be in college, living on my own, and having an exciting life.

My dream life is me living in a New York City apartment on my own with my cat Jonathon, working as a writer, and having fabulous clothes. I would also have enough money to vacation in London and Paris, and then eventually retire in London.
My clothes would all represent me, and I would speak through them and my writing. I would have a great man in my life, and every thing would be swell.


I need that to happen. I must. Siriusly.
