Books, Books, and More Books!

Lately, I haven't been able to find a book to entertain my short attention span for no more than a couple chapters. But, that's all about to change, 'cause I bought two books the other day that sound VERY interesting...



The first one I bought is The Carrie Diaries by Candace Bushnell. Candace Bushnell is also the author of the Sex and the City novels. I've never read the Sex and the City books, but I love the TV series! I guess you could say The Carrie Diaries is a prequel to Sex and the City...a look into Carrie Bradshaw's life before she was a writer and lived in New-York City. The story starts back when Carrie was a Senior in high school, living in a small town, and aspiring to be a writer. I don't know why, but I've always felt like I could relate to Carrie Bradshaw. I think there is just something about her that MOST women can relate to.

The second book I bought is the 4th book in the Gossip Girl series (Because I'm Worth It). I've been lovin' the Gossip Girl series since sometime last year. But, I've never gotten around to watching the actual TV show. I will one of these days though...

Since I'm on the subject of books and such, there is something I would like to share with you (if you care that is). Two of my favorite famous people,Nikki Sixx and Kat Von D,are both writing another book (not together). I don't know too much about either of the books, although I do have SOME info to share...



From all of Nikki Sixx's Tweets, Myspace Post, and Facebook Statuses, I can tell that it's a photography book of some sorts. I REALLY CAN'T WAIT FOR THIS ONE TO COME OUT!!



Kat Von D's book is about what she knows/does best: Tattoos. From what I have heard, it's suppose to be a lot of her assorted diary entries. The diary entries were written after her tattooing jobs. A little tattoo diary thing going on you could say.

Well, I can not wait for those two books to come out! I especially can't wait to get started on my books that I bought the other day. I think I'll start with The Carrie Diaries...

Until next time...

Catch the Wave

Lately, I've been doing my hair differently. Most of the time, my hair looks something like this...



As you can see, it looks pretty straight, but sorta has a wave to it. It hasn't always had that much body to it though. It seems like in the past few months, my hair has been wavin' up. At least, that's what some of my friends have been saying. Soooo, I was dieing to know if I could make my hair look REALLY-REALLY wavy. I bought some gel (Herbal Essences Totally Twisted) and used my Mom's hairspray (Aussie's Instant Freeze). After that, my hair ended up looking something like this...



Okay, so maybe this picture doesn't show a HUGE difference. But I can see one! When I brush my hair, some of the body falls out of it. But now, when I put gel and hairspray in my hair, it sure keeps the wave better.

Don't know if my readers really give a you-know-what about my hair, but I thought I would post this anyways. :)

Sealed with a kiss,

PS-I really need to stop slacking on my blog and write more! I promise I'll be better about posting more often...

Photo Diary-March 2010

Is it just me or has my blog become one big Photo Diary? All I ever really post anymore is my Photo Diaries. I guess that isn't a bad thing, but I would really like to post more of just my writing.

Most of my pictures this month are of people, or so it seems. It's sad that the only time I really pulled out my camera was at a social gathering (i.e. homeschool activity, Birthday Party, skate park). I guess it's not a tragedy, but I still would have liked to snap a few more pictures of other things like I always do. Next month will have more of a variety, I promise...cross my heart...hope I die...stick a needle in my eye. And no, I didn't make that up, my Granny has always said that. ;)

Now, without further ado, let me present this months Photo Diary...

DUN DUN DUN

(I'm sorry, but I just had to add some music there)

For over a month, Katy's family (my friend's family) and I have been planning a surprise party for her. The party was for her 16th Birthday. It turned out to be a great party and Katy was verry surprised!

A refreshing drink from Sonic



Ransome

SWING





Hahahahaha



After that, it was time for Book Club (I'm not a dork by the way)...



Liam



Liam again



This here is Liam's drink. We all decided to take out all of our pintup anger on it by throwing our food, necklaces, etc. in it. See how gross it looks?



Inside the cup...yuck! Who in the right mind would drink this? Well, I know a few people who did, but I don't think they were in their right mind...or ever are...



Drake drank the drink, but he always does stuff like this!



Liam also drank it (Liam, I had a little more faith in you!) and even gave me a little \m/ Rock Star Sign \m/ for the camera.





Me



Hahahahaha...he'll do just about anything I tell him to do for a picture

:M:A:R:C:H::21ST:

It had snowed a great deal on this day and to think it was the first day of Spring! Well, that's Oklahoma for ya! Anyway, I shot some pictures of the daffodils because I was scared they would die because of the snow.





:M:A:R:C:H::24TH:

On this day, we had Cornerstone. I hadn't been to a Cornerstone meeting in a very long time! Reason being because my acting and plays and such. So, it was nice to go. This one was a talent show and for my talent, I displayed some of my pictures.



Emma...hee hee



My photography display



Katy



:M:A:R:C:H::31ST:

There was a concert at the Tulsa PAC presented by Barthelmes Conservatory. It was called Brown Bag. You could bring you lunch and listen to lovely classical music. A lot of people in our homeschool group take music lessons at the Conservatory. Sadly, I didn't get a lot of pictures 'cause I was in the very back.





I decided I needed some new profile pictures. So, I thought it would be fun to take some cool action shots on a swing! Timers are truely amazing!







The Shadow of a Raven



SWING BABY!

Well...there you have it! Hope you liked!
