Me Being Lazy

Greetings earthlings,

     I don't want to blog, so I'm posting a collection of photos of me I'm taking right now because I'm vain and things. (but mostly because I don't want to type)

DFTBA

WHAT HAVE I DONE ?!

Greetings Earthlings,

     Okay, so one thing I wanted to do for the New Year was something that scares me. And, one of those things is change. I'm terrified of change, and for me, it's even more of a reason to do what I'm about to...cut my own bangs.

     Yup. I'm crazy.

     I figure my hair is pretty short so it'll grow back if I don't like it. And if you're thinking I'm crazy, I totally agree. By the way: I'm blogging this in real time. So right now I haven't cut my hair. I'll be taking pictures along the way and posting them: Okay...let's go.

Firstly, I have this really annoying cowlick in the front of my forehead, so I'm assuming my bangs are going to pop up unexpectedly. Oh well, not a big deal. Here's my cowlick:

Okay, so I got my desired amount of hair...

Now, according to WikiHow, I need to twist my hair a bit:

And now for the scissors (Kitchen Scissors? I THINK SO!)

On to the final step: Actually cutting (Which I'm going to do in the mirror so no picture :(  I'm shaking so much right now :S)

--Side Note: it took be like a half hour to actually build up the courage to do this, but here it is:

Before:

After:

Okay, that's a thing I just did. Time to shower :P

DFTBA

Olivia :D

PS: Here's the hair I cut

   

Blogging A Lot in 2012

Greetings Earthlings,

     So it's the new year (the 2nd, to be exact) and I need a resolution. I thought about many and in the end, decided on one I think will make you all very happy. (Unless you hate my blog and I'm forcing you to read it or something along those lines) That's right peoplez, I'm going to blog every day in 2012!

     Anyways, we'll see how this goes. Last year my resolution was to write in my diary everyday in 2011, and I only made it until March, which kind of sucks. It also shows you how amazing my perseverance is. But I think knowing people will be counting on my blog posts might give me some sort of push.

     If I think I'm going to miss a day, I'll blog twice the day before. But I think I should get some days off. Anyways you tell me what you think the rules will be.

     Also, I'm announcing it here first, my amazing friend Emma will also be participating in BALI2012 (Blogging a lot in 2012) and you can check her out at nanowrimoemjk.blogspot.com for lots of awesome, and unicorns. That's right people, you heard it here first! (Emma, now you better deliver, my followers are depending on you)

     Anyways, that's all for today, but do not fret! I will return tomorrow for more blogzzz! Love Y'all!

Taylor Swift and The Hunger Games?

Greetings Earthlings,

     I just posted, I know. But my very good friend Kelsey told me Taylor Swift was singing one of the songs that will be in the Hunger Games movie. At first, I was kind of angry, I wanted a less known artist to do the score. But when I listened to this song I started crying and couldn't stop. Which is crazy, since I'm not that emotional, definitely not the kind of person to burst into tears during a Taylor Swift Song.

     What really caught my attention was it wasn't like all of her other songs, and it definitely wasn't what I expected. I had assumed the song would have been an upbeat country-pop song with a banjo thrown in there, but the song was slow and emotional. The way she sang was higher than her usual tempo and mixed beautifully with the lullaby-esque back round music.

     An interesting thing about the song is if I hadn't read The Hunger Games, or if I had read them and didn't like them, the song would have struck me in a completely different manner and I wouldn't have liked it. But the way the song tied in so beautifully with The Hunger Games without straight out saying the characters names or anything like that was breath-taking.

     I know I'm sounding really emotional about this song, but The Hunger Games is by far my favourite series, I think it's one of those books you either hate or absolutely adore (I only know one person in between the two) and for me it's important they get this movie right.

     SPOILER ALERT! (skip this paragraph if you haven't read the first book) I really hope they play this song during the scene in which Rue dies. A lot of people have been saying they want it played when Katniss is caring for Peeta in the cave, but in my opinion it ties in much better with Rue. I can't wait to hear it with the movie either way though.

     Anyways, that all for now, if you like, you can hear the song right...HERE:

May the odds be ever in your favor:

New Years and Blue Man Group

Greetings Earthlings,

     Welcome, ladies and gentleman, to 2012. That's right everyone, today is January 1st, 2012, and I am reporting to you all today with sad and happy thoughts, first though I'd like to talk about all the FUN I had last night!!

     So the party this year was smaller, which I didn't mind, because there were a LOT less screaming annoying children circulating the party this year, and it was more quiet (and less clean up!). On the 30th Ben came over to help me clean the basement (Thanks Ben!) and then before the party I did a quick vacuum, yay simpleness!

     We listened to a lot of music, played a lot of Bop-It! (TM) and Hide and Go Seek in the dark for prizes, and after we watched the ball drop in Times Square and toasted everyone at the party with champagne (Which I found disgusting and promptly passed to Evan) we all celebrated to New Year by having a "Who can run the furthest outside in the snow in bare feet?" contest and then contently soaking in the hot tub, it was AWESOME and I think is now our New Years tradition.

     When I woke up this morning I was SO TIRED but I went out with my family to see Blue Man Group and the National Arts Center which was really cool. We we're in the front row and the event featured segments such as banging on drums filled with paint to create artwork (One of the Blue Men actually gave me one of the paintings, which I am about to display proudly on my wall) and creating the ultimate dance party (which consisted of shaking our "tushes" while a voicaloid shouted variations of the word butt, passing around HUGE beach balls and having toilet paper, cotton balls and silly string thrown at us.)

     Because we we're in the front row we were given water resistant ponchos and ear plugs, which scared me a bit (especially since I had had no sleep the previous night) but we didn't get wet or anything so it was actually pretty cool.

     Anyways the reason I come with happy and sad thoughts are I really like 2011, and I'm sad its over, It felt like just the other day I was celebrating the start of twenty eleven, and now it's over. I think I might do another blog post as to the highlights of my year.

     Well, that's all for today, I really like blogging, and I'd like to say I have a lot planned for 2012, but I CAN'T because the world is ENDING is 2012, DUH!

DFTBA
Olivia :D
