A very J. Crew kind of wedding.

 Is it bad that I've already picked out my entire bridal wear for my wedding? I have the idyllic wedding in mind. Outdoors in a garden, late spring, at dusk. White lights in every bush surrounding the ceremony. White tents lit up with white lights for an outdoor reception. Now, just need to find a man..Ha.

Yes, we women ARE hypocrites.

The Disappearing Nice Guy

I found this article on CNN.com to be the truth. Why can't I find Mr. Right? Because I'm too busy finding Mr. Jerk-off.

New job, new life?

Yesterday, I was officially offered a position with Cellular Sales as a wireless sales representative and I've officially accepted. I'm so excited for the new opportunities that are before me but I'm more excited to become the adult that I should be. I will make the money to pay off my debt..I'll be able to move out of my parent's house and take on my bills..I'll feel like a grown up. Most of my friends have already achieved this milestone, but I feel as if I've been left in the dust. Not many 24 year olds still live with their parents (out of the people I know). I'm ready to get settled in a new place, find a guy I can be happy with for the rest of my life, and just be. I feel trapped. As much as I've pined to live in NYC, maybe this is where I belong?

My Oscar Faves

I was SO happy that Sandra Bullock won Best Actress. I cannot get over it!
Here are my favorites of the evening..
(all photos from: www.usmagazine.com)

Sandra was STUNNING -- she looked like her Oscar statue.

Anna Kendrick's dress was so soft and flowy - Even though it almost matched her skin, I think it looked fabulous on her.

Carey Mulligan - her dress was so unique! I can totally see why Shia LaBeouf is into her! I really want to see An Education.

 I know people were dissatisfied with this dress, but I LOVE the texture and the color. STUNNING.

Critics say she played it safe in this gray number, but I was a huge fan. I wish I had porcelain skin.

Kate Winslet is ALWAYS a vision on the red carpet.

Even though I was perturbed that she coughed on stage (it really threw me off) - she looked so amazing. I love that she can clean up so well. I love KStew.

Chanel Couture. Need I say more?

At first, when they didn't do the close-up of her dress (just the very top), I thought she and Elizabeth Banks were wearing the same dress. That would have been HORRIBLE. But Rachel looked a-mazing.

There were other beautiful dresses as well, but these are my faves. I really wish I had seen more of the films that were nominated for Best Motion Picture..esp. The Hurt Locker.

$100M Weekend For 'Alice In Wonderland'?

$100M Weekend For 'Alice In Wonderland'?

Debt = not so much fun.

Food for thought: I just looked into how long it would take to pay off one of my credit card bills by just paying the minimum each month - guess how long it would take?

31 years. 

I will be 55. 

I need either:

a) A Sugar Daddy

b) An awesome paying job

or 

c) To win the lottery.

Playlist for 3/5.

1. "Alice" by Avril Lavigne (from the album "Almost Alice" - music inspired by the motion picture - so this is in honor of the film!)

2. "Symphony of Blasé" Anberlin (because the tune is so melodic & I love the line "God if you can hear me out all right, please take these feelings for her inside, my chest hurts when I breathe tonight.." - I know that feeling all too well)

3. "Lost Cause" by Beck (because it's my favorite Beck song)

4. "You Don't Know Me" by Ben Folds feat. Regina Spektor (because I feel as if no one will ever REALLY know me)

5. "Man" by The Bird and the Bee (because "I want to be the best I can for me, for you, for every man")

6. "Believe" by The Bravery (because I love when this song starts playing during Gossip Girl in season one when Serena is walking and chucks her cell phone in a trash can)

7. "Dance" by Caedmon's Call (because for a Christian tune, it's really catchy)

8. "Sweet Disposition" by The Temper Trap (because I love the film "(500) Days of Summer" and I can relate to it completely - my parents have nicknamed me Summer..)

9. "Waiting For My Real Life To Begin" by Colin Hay (because the title says it all)

10. "London Bombs" by Eskimo Joe (because I love the piano in it and it's slow and sad)

Ahoy, and other nautical expressions.

Today, the long awaited Alice in Wonderland by the brilliant Tim Burton was released. I cannot begin to tell you how long I've been waiting for this version of one of my most favorite Disney films, especially one directed/produced by my idol, TB. My mother and I are planning on seeing it tonight in 3D and I'm itching with anticipation. The Roanoke Times called it a "strange trip," more like Grace Slick's psychedelic '60's anthem "White Rabbit" instead of Lewis Carroll's version. Apparently in Burton's version, it is post-Alice from our childhood. I am going to have to go into the theater with an open heart and mind, but I do know that Tim Burton rarely, if ever, disappoints me. The one slip-up was his production of 9. 

"I wonder if I've been changed in the night? Let me think. Was I the same when I got up this morning? I almost think I can remember feeling a little different. But if I'm not the same, the next question is 'Who in the world am I?' Ah, that's the great puzzle!"

Seriously LOST? Is that the best you can do??

I am a LOST junkie. I may not be as die hard as others, but I know my stuff. Anywho, the final season is absolutely KILLING me. Carlton Cuse & Damon Lindelof (two of the creators) told us (their loyal fan base) that we would have our questions answered this season. In all the previous seasons I don't think I've had more "Huh's?!" "WTF's?" etc. than in this final one. COME ON CARLTON/DAMON! I NEED MORE! Is this show really going to end with good v. evil? SERIOUSLY?

Thoughts...

Post Script.

Can anyone help me with blogging? I can't get my pictures to line up right..I'm clearly a newbie.

My thoughts on this horrid snow.

Seriously, I don't know how much more I can take. I have NEVER seen snow like this. I wish it would just stop. And now, it's coming down once again and I'm in a wretched mood because of it.


The only thing that will get me through this day/snow is online shopping..I just bought two amazing new tops for Spring:

one from J.Crew

& one from Anthropologie.

Playlist for 3/2.

1. "Clair de Lune" by Claude Debussy (because Edward Cullen says so)
2. "The Boys of Summer" by Don Henley (just because)
3. "In Your Atmosphere" by John Mayer (because he is my boyfriend)
4. "La Cienega Just Smiled" by Ryan Adams (because I miss LA summer 2008 big time)
5. "Bittersweet Symphony" by The Verve (because it's my all-time favorite tune)
6. "Iko Iko" by The Belle Stars (because I love the image of Zach Galifianakis & Bradley Cooper descending on the escalator in "The Hangover")
7. "Furr" by Blitzen Trapper (because Evangeline Lilly says so)
8. "Mandolin Rain" by Bruce Hornsby (because he is the MAN, I want a mini-Bruce in my pocket that I can bring out to play me a song on the piano)
9. "Yeah, Yeah, Yeah" by My Radio (because they are my friends and this song is in the trailer for the upcoming film "The Joneses" - check it out!)
10. "Foundations" by Kate Nash (because this song is bad ass)

Dreaming.

Today, I'm dreaming a little bit. My thoughts carry me away to distant places far from this little shabby chic town called Roanoke. I see myself in Greece, lying on the beach, taking in the culture. My mind shifts to the streets of NYC, my favorite place in the entire universe. I'm walking through The Village, popping into different boutiques, finding the perfect vintage dress. Quick flash to Nicaragua, where I spent three amazing weeks in 05-06. I'm hanging out with the most amazing ninos who changed my life for the better. I need an out. Every day I search Craigslist to find the ultimate job/career which will jump start my life. I feel as if it hasn't even begun yet..anyone else feel that way? I don't know how much longer I can go on living this way. I have the most amazing roommates (my parents) but I'm 24 and I need to grow up.
