Catch up, Ketchup, Catsup

It's only my sister and I at the house tonight and we're currently awaiting the shepherds pie we made together to be done. I love love love shepherds pie, it's definitely one of my favorite meals! Mmmmm.

Earlier today I received the news that ASU has finally (after about 6 days) received my transcript. I'm so nervous because although it's one of the easiest schools to get in to with my luck I won't get in. 

On Friday I went to Hollywood to see Restless all by myself while my parents went out to eat. It was a good movie, not exactly the best I've seen but I'd definitely see it again if I had the chance. On the way back home we got stuck in traffic, about 10 minutes into the traffic I checked twitter and saw that Bright Eyes was playing at the cemetery a block away. We ended up passing right by it and I was so sad. I wish I had knew about that before so I could've gotten tickets. I'm always late to learn when Bright Eyes is in town it's unfair! 

My current music obsessions

fun.

Noah and the Whale

and now, finally, dinner is ready! 

Rushed

I'm currently sitting in my room, having just done numerous chores, listening to Jack's Mannequin, and doing just about anything to procrastinate typing up an essay. My classes are all going well, I got all of my A's but I feel myself starting to slack off, hopefully this doesn't last long because I don't want to lose those. I actually got my TARDIS back last friday, she's all fixed so I've been taking her around as much as I can. I'm so happy to have her.

I'm so in love with everything this outfit choses to be.

time for some favorite finds! 

I'm so excited to see JM in November. It's been nearly 3 years since I've last seen 'em. 

I would've written more and sourced things but my food is here, so adios!

proper blog

My poor TARDIS has been coming upon problem after problem. That's basically what my life has been consumed with, trying to fix my poor baby and find out what's wrong with her.  I've also been writing like a maniac, what I'm doing is completely out of my comfort zone it's quite challenging. So hmmm, I saw Contagion with my best friend on friday, saturday was filled with writing, watching movies/the new Doctor Who and Friday Night Dinner, and tending to the poor TARDIS. Sunday was more TARDIS woes filled with shopping where I got this awesome jacket and a few birthday presents for my dear niece Audrey whose birthday is next month.

I finally got "Once" in the mail on saturday, It'll always make me cry. Oh boy don't get me started on how that movie touches me. Anyway, I was planning on updating this from the time since I last updated but now I'm forgetting what I've even done. I bought You Me At Six tickets, which means I'm finally seeing them after nearly five years of being a fan and three failed attempts at seeing them due to them getting ill or playing the same time as VersaEmerge. I've also become really nostalgic with my musical taste lately, I've been listening to a lot of The Matches (RIP), The Academy Is..., and Cobra Starship (RIP when they were actually good).

September 11, 2001

Ten years ago today I was in 2nd grade. It was around 6am, maybe 7am I can't remember perfectly, and I walked upstairs to ask my mom something. She was in her room folding a pink towel, I asked her what I went upstairs for and she didn't speak a word. She was crying, staring at the screen, not taking her eyes off of it. I leaned into the room to get a better look at the TV in front of her; I saw a building releasing gray smoke into the air. Being only 6 at the time I didn't understand what I was seeing. She explained it to me but it went over my head, but still I stood there watching it wondering why she was crying so hard "that's happening in New York, why should I care?" was how I thought. We weren't affected by it and yet for some reason she was crying.  I kept watching the screen, mindlessly staring. The the second building got hit. Then the first one fell. Mom cried harder, she hadn't set down that pin towel, she was clenching it. I don't remember seeing the second one fall. I really don't remember anything after seeing the first building fall. Maybe I went to school. Maybe I didn't. But all I can remember is being home at some point in the day while my mom was at work and she told my sister and I "If anything happens hide underneath the kitchen counter". My sister, who was 14 at the time, said "oh yeah mom because they're going to attack Colton". I laughed then, but I wish now I could take that back. Usually after school we would be at my grandmother's house while my mom was at work, but for some reason we were at home. I never thought about that until today, did school get cancelled? Did my mom keep us from school? I honestly have no idea but somehow I was home when I normally wouldn't be.

That day is a blur to me but I remember the bits while I was watching that TV. Those images and the terror in my mom's voice will be burnt into my mind forever.

RIP all of those men and women whose lives were taken away from them on that horrid day. No one deserves what they were forced to go through.

(I'll post a proper blog tomorrow)
