Scribbles About Life: Feb 2015

Sooo... February possibly weirder month than January. I thought it'd be better because its a short month... and I'm not saying any month is necessarily better... but its weird and different I guess?

I was still a little weirded out with the events of the end of January that I still won't talk about, so that happened. It wasn't really a bad start or anything I guess because really, nothing all that serious happened everyone was fine everything worked out well... but it made it started the month off slightly irregular. And that will continue this month also I believe... so yeah. I mean thats a thing. Oddly unspecific, but still happened and happening I suppose.

And then there were some fun things this month too. I went to see 50 Shades of Grey and I hung out with some friends a few times. Always fun. Just some fun days that happened which I'm quite thankful for I suppose... why wouldn't I be... lol this is awkward. Maybe I shouldn't do these posts since its too unspecific for me to mention my personal life... maybe no one cares about these vague details including myself.

One thing I did that I am proud of and that I will talk more about in the near future... possibly tomorrow actually, is that I've gotten better with posting my blogs. I've been really enjoying writing these posts and coming up with good ideas for new blogs and I've just been kind of proud of what I'm doing with both of my blogs right now. And that makes me really happy. Its a good feeling, even though this is a small blog and I don't think anyone is necessarily reading anything more that I post, I'm proud of it. And I wouldn't post anything I wasn't proud of, but now I'm improving and growing I think, and I'm happy that it seems to be showing in these blog posts and that I can do what I like a little more.

It's also been super cold here. Idk where everyone reading this lives, I'm assuming its just friends of mine that see this post on facebook or whatever... but its been far too cold for me to want to do anything. Its like one of the coldest winters ever and its snowed more than it hasn't as of recently I think... pretty much every other week we had a snowstorm, and they haven't been the worst... but enough to need to shovel... which kind of sucks. Lol.

And a lot of things that made me sad happen. I was incredibly bummed out one day. I had been listening to Comedy Bang Bang and they played the last episode with Harris Wittels who died recently, and I was listening to some of his older episodes of CBB and I was laughing so hard I was crying. But I feel like my brain didn't know I was happy crying and thought I was sad crying so it just made me in a bad mood all day... but it was like a comically bad mood. Like I would watch a Hershey commercial and feel bad for the people when they finished the candy bar. That was upsetting. I feel like the Harris thing made me really sad even though I didn't know him at all, and I didn't even know his comedy that well. I had heard him do a podcast where he was talking about writing for a TV show he loved and he said that he was surprised and thrilled that he got to write for Eastbound and Down. And he wasn't that much older than me, so I thought "hey that could be me in a few years writing for one of these shows I love and watch every week." Which would be super cool. And I think he had a lot to offer the world and he was taken from us too soon. Aziz's post about him was very nice and touching, and Jim O'heir and Greg Schur posted really nice things also. Its sad but nice.

On a lighter note, I'm addicted to coffee now. We got a Keurig recently that mostly my mom and I are using and I've been enjoying it particularly. So far my favorite is Foldgers Vanilla Biscotti. I also like Gloria Jeans Hazelnut and Mudslide coffees, Foldgers Sugar Cookie is pretty good and the Donut Shop brand is good. So yeah. Thats helped me waking up earlier and focusing more on this blog. Lol.

I've been reading Amy Poehler's Yes Please and Gillian Flynn's Dark Places. Yes Please more than Dark Places, I'm almost done with Yes Please and it makes me sad. I love Amy Poehler and I like having a friend I guess for a little while. Lol thats what memoirs make me feel like. Like "ohhh I've got this friend giving me tips and telling me stories." Which is nice.

Highlight of the month: I had an interaction with Viola Davis on Twitter. It was so exciting. Bascially I was busy watching the 2 hour finale of How To Get Away With Murder when the Dress Debacle happened. Remember the dress that everyone was talking about a million years ago? Some people thought it was White and Gold, Some insisted it was blue and black, some saw both. I am a both-er. Anyway I tweeted to Viola Davis and Shonda Rhimes that I didn't know why everyone was talking about this dress when the How To Get Away With Murder Finale was so sooo good. Viola Davis favorited it. It may not sound like much, Viola and Shonda have it Thursday night with their twitter game... they just have it. Lol. And they are likely to respond back, but still. It nice when famous people interact and I don't think I've ever had someone of that level of fame interact with me anywhere... so that was a success story. My mom was really proud of me. If you read this Ms. Davis, you made my mom proud of me lol.

Also THAT FINALE WAS INSANELY GOOD! AS WAS THE PARKS AND REC FINALE! Omg! Such good shows guys! I can't wait for next season of HTGAWM, I also can't wait for Parks to be on DVD! Omg I also need last season if anyone wants to buy me these? Lol that'd be cool. I'm just exploiting my blog for gifts... thats all lol.

So yeah... I think thats it. I had to watch Two and A Half Men to do a review on that finale which was unfortunate. But yeah.

Byeee!

Disney Store Closing Haul

So if you read my post from yesterday- you know that I love The Disney Store, but it is unfortunately closing. I did pick up some things from the store that I thought I'd share with you guys! I did get a couple of t shirts. One is a Star Wars shirt, which is technically a men's shirt but I thought it looked really cool and I don't like that Disney doesn't carry the same things for men and for women. For the most part they look unisex to me and a lot of their men's stuff has characters I like better. Like the star wars shirt for women was grey with pink lettering and had no pictures, but the mens shirt had a really cool metallic silver logo on black clothing with pictures of all the new characters and Luke inside of the letters... much cooler! So I got that! The other shirt I got is really funny and it has Sleeping Beauty on it and it says "I Woke Up Like This." Which I really liked! Super cute and funny and my niece likes it when I wear shirts with c...

Scribbles About Life: 3.10.16

Soooo... I don't really want to post about my day... but I don't really want to post anything else either. I started writing something about female characters in movies and TV... but I just didn't like what I was writing and... idk... I was a blog writing machine this week and now I feel defeated. I wrote a ton on Monday and Tuesday and now I just don't feel like doing a post today... but I want to write still... So I'll talk about things that I guess are on my mind lately... Idk. So I got this Revlon Ultra HD Matte Lipcolor... and for some reason... I'm addicted to the way that it smells. Idk why, it smells like cherry medicine... but I also sort of like it. Its more cherry than medicine... and I can't smell it on my lips... but Idk. I keep smelling it in the tube. I got some cute stuff from American Eagle yesterday too! I got a dress and a romper... I do not own any Rompers... except this one... but it looked good on me and it didn't make me look f...

Throwback Thursday: 13 Going On 30

So I watched this on VH1 around Christmas Time because it was on... they really need to bring this movie to Netflix because it's pretty fantastic and VH1 doesn't get the whole thing. I didn't catch the very beginning... but I did watch most of it from around the time when Matty gives her the Dream House... so sweet. It was a little weird to watch this movie because when it came out, I was 13 or almost 13... and now I'm closer to being 30... but I still felt more connected to the 13 year old Jenna instead of the adults in the movie. Like I'm not totally sure when I turned almost 30... but I don't like it. I'm still 13 year old Jenna who likes the same music as when I was 13 and has kind of the same style as I did then... I don't know... its just kind of a weird thing and I was freaking out a little bit from it. This is also the movie that introduced me to one of my favorite actresses, Judy Greer! I love Judy Greer, she's so funny and great and s...
