short days and afternoons spent puttering around...
I got "Paper Towns" in the mail 17 days before it's supposed to come out.
Thank you, John Green.
I read it in probably 24 hours (after I told Caitlin that if it was a mistake, I wouldn't read it until October 16th).
It was the best book John has written yet (and maybe one of my top favorite books of all time).
I also read "Devilish" by Maureen Johnson before I read "Paper Towns", and now I'm reading "Girl at Sea" by her, too.
And after that, I'm going to read "The Lucky One" by Nicholas Sparks, because I got that in the mail the day after it was released.
I'm also going to try and get to his book signing. Weeeeeee!
I love books.

there's too many things I haven't done yet, there's too many sunsets I haven't seen
Four books and fifteen forms of the word "chagrin" later...
...I have finished the Twilight series.
And let me admit, I have become a fan. I'd still pick Harry Potter over Twilight any day, but it was entertaining, and worth the money I spent on the books. I read them straight through, starting with book one and ending with book four, without any breaks in the middle. I was slowing down my reading during "Eclipse" (number three) only because I was getting intensely busy with the end of the drum corps season, but as soon as I started "Breaking Dawn," my reading picked up again and I finished that book in a week and a half. And now I can watch that "Breaking Dawn" video that Kristina (Monday from FiveAwesomeGirls) posted on her personal channel on YouTube.
Here's the books with the 15 chagrins labeled:
4 in the first book, 2 in the second, 4 in the third, and a whopping 5 in the last book.
My glasses broke the other day. They slowly snapped in half while I was polishing the lenses on my shirt. I don't even know how it happened, because I wasn't applying much pressure to them, and bam. They broke in the middle. I tried glueing them, but that didn't work. I finally had an appointment at the eyeglasses place today and picked out some new frames, so they should be ready sometime next week. I'm really excited for new glasses! There will be before/after pictures, I promise.
So....here's a list of books I've read since I graduated college.
1. "The Choice" by Nicholas Sparks
2. "Big Boned: A Heather Wells Mystery" by Meg Cabot
3. "Lock and Key" by Sarah Dessen
4. "Queen of Babble In the Big City" by Meg Cabot
5. "Forever In Blue: The Fourth Summer of the Sisterhood" by Ann Brashares
6. "Eat Pray Love" by Elizabeth Gilbert
7. "Twilight" by Stephenie Meyer
8. "New Moon" by Stephenie Meyer
9. "Eclipse" by Stephenie Meyer
10. "Breaking Dawn" by Stephenie Meyer
My hardest decision now is trying to figure out what to read next!

accio, accio, accio hot guy, oh bring me a boyfriend, he better be cute...
I am officially addicted to Wizard Rock.
On Sunday, my made of awesome friend Cait and I went to the first ever NYC Wizard Rock Festival. Now, I wasn't much of a Wizard Rock fan to begin with, but I watch the FiveAwesomeGirls on youtube and two of them are in Wizard Rock bands. That's how I got into this, and when I found out there was a show in NYC, I thought, "why not?"
Dude, it turns out it was pretty freakin' sweet. I mean....two whole rooms full of Harry Potter and music fans. What more could you ask for? I mean, some of the sets were "ehhh" and I thought, "you really shouldn't be up there..." but that's the whole point. You don't have to be amazing to sing and make music about stuff you love. Some of my favorites were Lauren from the Moaning Myrtles (and Tuesday on FiveAwesomeGirls), Lena of the Butterbeer Experience, Nagini and Alastor (they sang most of their duet album, and Justin Finch Fletchley and the Sugar Quills (although I have to admit their set came with a pair of earplugs). Thanks, Cait, for saving my ears!
Some of the highlights of that day:
-Meeting Lauren. I absolutely love Tuesday on 5AG.
-Buying 4 CDs of music. I was listening to the Moaning Myrtles and the Butterbeer Experience at work today.
-I loved the fact that everyone was singing along to all these HP Wrock songs, and the one song that Lena and Lauren do, that has nothing to do with HP (well, it has some WRock references, but it is a more nerdfighter-esque song) I know all the words to. "Guacamole Ukulele Song" FTW!
I enjoyed some delicious cookies and cupcakes by this awesome woman who makes Harry Potter cookies and cupcakes. Check them out!
So delicious.
Hagrid cupcake. Sorry it came out flipped...that's not how I took the picture. Hmmm.
Hagrid, Harry, Ron, and Hermione. They're such great friends!
Ron and Hermione snogging
Me and my purchases
Cait with Ron and Hermione
Alastor and Nagini
Lena (The Butterbeer Experience)
Justin Finch Fletchley and the Sugar Quills
the cool backdrop. they had house banners on the side, too
Lauren Myrtle's set with Alex Carpenter of the Remus Lupins
Lena joined Lauren and Alex for "The Snog Song"
Cait and I with Lauren! We also saw Liane (Friday of the FiveAwesomeGirls) but she was talking to a bunch of people outside when we spotted her. We thought of yelling "DFTBA" when we got to the end of the block, but we figured we'd save meeting her for the Paper Towns release party.
And speaking of Paper Towns....oh man 21 days until Paper Towns. I am so damn excited. This is going to be my first ever book release party. And I get to meet John Green! After watching him on Youtube for a year now! And I get to meet the Yeti! And I get to see Hank again!

maybe there's a feeling that you've been brushing off
I am nine photos away from finishing my photo blog, and I can't seem to find the motivation to finish it.
What is wrong with me?

one look was all it took and everything was said
I'm really pissed off about something, but I can't pinpoint exactly what it is.
I'm missing Drum Corps a lot, but I'm also not, because I really like having some sort of freedom on the weekends. I keep changing my mind as to whether or not I want to go back next season. I'm still undecided.
Work is good, I guess. I'm playing in the childrens' show right now, and that's really fun. I enjoy the music, and watching the story unfold right in front of me, and being a part of it an amazing experience. I think I'm just frustrated with work in general.
I'm looking for a job right now. I'd definitely love to have more money.
I really need to clean my room. Like really badly.
And I desperately need a vacation. I need to get out of New York and go farther than the couple of states I had shows in this past summer. I need to go further than that, and maybe to a different country entirely.
I think I'm going to my brother's show later tonight. I suppose taking a shower would be a smart thing to do (it is soooo hot and humid outside). I feel mad tired from today.
And I'm in a bad mood.

I'm the best damn thing that your eyes have ever seen
Where are the hopes, where are the dreams
My Cinderella story scene
When do you think they'll finally see
That you're not not not gonna get any better
You won't won't won't you won't get rid of me never
Like it or not even though she's a lot like me
We're not the same
And yeah yeah yeah I'm a lot to handle
You don't know trouble but I'm a hell of a scandal
Me I'm a scene I'm a drama queen
I'm the best damn thing that your eyes have ever seen
My Cinderella story scene
When do you think they'll finally see
That you're not not not gonna get any better
You won't won't won't you won't get rid of me never

our aspirations are wrapped up in books
I finished "Twilight", and I'm almost finished with "New Moon", the second book in the Twilight saga by Stephenie Meyer.
I splurged and bought the last two books in hardcover.
I want to be able to read the next books without any hesitation, and I don't really want to break up the series with other books, although there is so much I want to read.
books book books
I'm a nerd and counted how many times Stephenie Meyer used the word "chagrin" in the first book. So far, none have been spotted in the 2nd book.
I ordered a bunch of stuff last night on Amazon and Barnes and Noble. I had a giftcard for Amazon that I've been meaning to use, so I ordered the two John Green books that were just released with new covers, "An Abundance of Katherines" and "Looking for Alaska." I ordered those on Barnes and Noble since they were cheaper with my membership card, along with "Red: The Next Generation of American Writers--Teenage Girls--On What Fires Up Their Lives Today" which has a story written by one of my favorite youtubers. And I got it for pretty cheap, because it was a separate seller through Barnes and Noble. SCORE!
I read this book already, but I feel like I have to support Nerdfighteria (and John Green)
Maybe when I finally meet him, he'll sign these books, because his brother signed the original copies of these books :)
I'm really looking forward to reading this book
I also bought the soundtrack to the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 movie, because my best friend and I saw it, and it was made of awesome. <3
Eric Hutchinson and Michelle Branch are on it!
Then I went to Amazon.com and bought Juno (the DVD) and Matt Nathanson's CD, Beneath These Fireworks. I love Matt Nathanson. (I'm going to see him for the 4th time in October! YESSSSS!)
If I was a flower growing wild and free all I'd want is you to be my sweet honeybee.
Matt Nathanson = omfg.
I'm also seeing Hanson twice in October, and going to my first ever Wizard rock concert in September. Yes, these events are pretty exciting.
And finally I'll end with this picture of this unusual but adorable flower on the sidewalk of one of the main streets I walk down to get the subway. I think it's paint.
The simple things in life that make me happy.

she works hard for the money
I signed up to work the whole day today.
I got into work around 9:30am.
By 12 noon I was beginning to regret agreeing to work the whole day.
2pm rolled around, and I was getting bored.
Lots of stuff started happening. The phone rang, the buzzer rang, I distributed mail, got one of my keys stuck in the lock of one of the doors.
It was eventful.
4pm came by, and I wanted to go home.
5pm arrived, and so did Roxy.
THANK YOU, ROXY.
Roxy and I bonded. She loves Hanson. This is an amazing thing.
She loves Zac. Also an amazing thing.
We talked about concerts, shared little anecdotes, and just did usual banter.
I was already pretty slap-happy from being at work all day. I'm sure that amused her.
I started reading Twilight. She was reading Breaking Dawn (Book #4 in the series).
We continuously made fun of Edward Cullen.
We wrote each other post-it notes saying, "Be Safe," or "pancakes and cereal." And other silly things.
I autographed a bunch of useless things we found in the box office.
We were that bored.
Working with Roxy is so much fun.
