but what was normal in the evening by the morning seems insane.

Christmas Eve is tomorrow and I'm super pumped!
Still not sure what I'll be wearing.. but I'll figure that out
sometime tonight or tomorrow. So many events are coming up before
the year ends. Christmas festivities, neighborhood dinners, new years
bowling, new years parties, and all the things in between.
Got my hair chopped today, too. Nothing special. I was going
to get bangs again.. but then decided they would be too much
work and went with a slight trim and layers. Thrilling, I know.

We decided to go up to Mt. Washington and of course
I was snapping away. The pictures aren't fabulous since
I was without my other lense and it was snowing..but eh
what can I do? Fun group.


















Hope everyone has a SUPER FANTASTIC Christmas!!

make a wish

happy birthday to my cousin who just turned 6 years old!
I was messing around with my camera and got some decent shots of the festivities.





meow.


Got my nose pierced too. Maybe I'll get some pictures of that up soonish.

She makes me want to have a fun makeup photoshoot. In the works? In my mind at least. We'll see if I can find the time to make it a reality.

PS. JUST SAW AVATAR.

easily one of the best movies i have ever seen. i'm pretty sure i went through every single possible human (and even nonhuman) emotion during those 2 hours and 40 minutes. do not waste another moment, go see this movie. now.

that is all.

that's my hand!

One by one, my friends are finishing finals and coming home for winter break. Thank goodness for this, because I'm getting extremely bored being here almost by myself.
We decided to shuttle the crew down to south side for some hookah, oh how I miss summer. It's so much nicer smoking outside or having the opportunity to take little breaks by walking a few blocks. When it's 20 degrees outside, breaks aren't exactly something that we consider anymore. We saw a few people that we graduated with, too. It's funny how this place always brings people together, it's so chill and I love it.









Oh I totally forgot to include the story behind the title of this post:
As we were leaving hookah, Nikki and Sarah were bickering over who got the front seat. Nikki won and started telling a story. Sarah wasn't listening for some reason and then Nikki got mad at her for not listening and also because she couldn't get the door shut. Meanwhile, Sarah was shouting at Nikki because she kept slamming her hand in the door, each time with a little more force because she couldn't shut it the previous try. Ouch.


PS... anyone have some suggestions for shooting inside like this? I can never get the pictures to turn out because the lighting is so funky and dark. I have a canon rebel xs, I can't find a setting that works well!

24 hours a day

Wow good, Katie. Go nine days without posting.

Anywho. This long long break has been pretty boring. I stupidly didn't call work ahead of time and so the schedule was made without me on it. I have no second job, so this means I'm pretty much done for until summer with making money. Yeah, I'm a smart one, you live you learn I guess. I just wish the learning part didn't involve me being an especially broke person.
At least I got one small shift in because someone needed me to work for them.. yay?
I try to be optimistic, but in reality, I'm kicking myself for being an idiot.

Thank goodness for dunkin donuts. It's open 24 hours a day, and although I feel bad for the girl that is always there at 2 in the morning, I really enjoy being there myself. Pumpkin coffee is my new addiction and at $1.80 with free refills, I'd say that's nothing to be ashamed of. Of course I always go with my favorite ginger and best friend, Alex. We yak for at least two hours about tons of shit. That's probably why I can never think of anything to say here, it's already been said to Alex so I don't need to vent! Plus he offers his very own thoughts of wisdom, I'd say that's a good deal, especially since I can help him out too. As i said, thank goodness for dunkin.
Oh. and aj, who pops up out of nowhere and comes to my house...




don't worry...it's just his cream for coffee.
