Wow, I had a really fantastic day today! Erin texted me at 11:11 a.m. and said she'd pick me up in an hour (which usually means 2+ hours depending on what is on the BBC at the time) but then showed up in roughly 30 minutes and I more or less had a heart attack.
1. Coffee. As evident by this entry, I have had a bit too much today. But in my cavorting around today there was a stop at Stardust Coffee in Winter Park (one of the few hipster/scene hangouts in this stupid place) and sat outside and drank it and it was lovely.
2. Over two months later, I still listen to the new FOB CD almost daily. Today I am really loving "Headfirst Slide into Cooperstown on a Bad Bet" because I am identifying with the
lyrics. What if I did peak early? Hmm.
3. VINTAGE. I also went to Goodwill today and tried on some 80's prom dresses (yeah, there are pictures) and it was good, good times. I didn't end up buying one (though it came close) but I did get a Katy Perry-esque 40's style dress that I figure I might actually wear on occasion (lol, occasion, like I ever have those). It is adorable. I need heart-shaped shades to really pull it off.
4. Not-vintage but still ridiculous items of clothing, like
this, which I bought last week at 75% off. I wore it today and it was awesome.
5. The Emperor's New Groove. Hadn't watched it in forever but man, is that a classic or what? Eh, Pacha?
6.
This blog! She has pink hair and legally changed her name to "Gala Darling" and doesn't have a real job except for writing about her fabulous adventures. I adore her. I haven't figured out what I want to change my name to, except that the last name is definitely going to be "Moonachie."
7. Long hair. I am thinking of growing mine out, and I give this idea four months tops before I lose interest and get it cut crazy short. Such is the way of things!
8. The title track from U2's "No Line on the Horizon." I am still not crazy about the rest, but that is a great song.
9. My orange kitty. He always wants to hang out with me, because he is the coolest.
10. Teal! Or turquoise. Variations of blue-green, anyway. I am not really sure why, but it is the color I like best right now.
11.
A little bird told me that there is a rather fantastic candidate on American Idol this season, and I am intrigued! I have never cared about this show ever.
12. Not being the oldest one in the group tonight. "28." I just about fell over.
13. Realizing that at some point you really have to stop worrying about what other people think of you. No one gives a crap who you dated in high school. (I am, in fact, getting rid of a lot of baggage from this era. I cleaned my room and threw out all my old history notes and mom was like "lol you've been carting them around all this time" and honestly it was more out of laziness than anything, I just never went through the boxes, just carted them around kind of blindly...)
14. Empanadas! I should learn how to make them, as they are one of my favorite things. Today I had a delicious one from the Pan Pan Bakery. I also very much enjoy the name of that place. PAN PAN.
15. "I don't just want to be a footnote in someone else's happiness."
Wow, it is really, really late.
