100 a.k.a Trivia shows own.

I'm sitting at home watching reruns of Jeopardy.

This show will forever remind me of my Grandmother, She would always put it on and say to my cousin and I "I'll give you a $1 for every answer that you get right."

Memories.

This is Blog post number 100.

I have to say I am proud considering that I never usually keep these things up but I find it a great outlet to express myself through the written word.

sometimes I find myself walking around and thinking "I should blog this" but then I keep doing whatever I was doing and then I forget what it was I wanted to blog.

It's a process...

Anyway!

My favorite time of the year is coming up!

Christmas!

Now its not because of presents, it because all my family gathers at my aunts house and for some reason I feel like I am closer to all of them on that day, and now we have the most recent addition to the family, Isabella.

I plan on making her another blanket, I know how many blankets does a child need.

But this is a cool project that I am really excited about it,

Its going to look like a Polaroid.

Its going to be sooo Rad!

Well thats all for now....bye

*Side Note* I have been watching Ninja movies lately and I think I want to be a Ninja now.

*Side Side Note* Don't Judge

Maybe, the world'll look like this forever

So November 3rd I had the pleasure of seeing Say Anything in concert..Again.

lol and as always they were Amazing!!

I got to Irving Plaza at like 1:30ish and I was the second person on the line.
Yay!
So I totally knew I was going to get a sweet spot in the front.. which I did!
So their were 2 opening bands and 2 main bands, the opening bands were pretty good my favorite was The Miniature Tigers. They were so good, surprising for an opening band. I love going to shows there is something to be said about the energy that is at a rock so, you feel so alive, like anything is possible!

But anyway I went to see The Flying Karamazov Brothers on the 7th and that show was sooo funny, I went with my lovely aunt and we both had a really good time.
It was a surprise when I saw my juggling teacher preforming, because I thought that he was no longer preforming with the show but it turns out I was wrong. ^_^

Speaking of juggling where is my poi, I can't find them anywhere.
I have to practice...

Today I painted my Very ugly Ice Skates and now they are even uglier, haha Just kidding
They are Beautiful now.

A work of moving art if you will.

I can't wait to show them off at the rink tomorrow morning.

For now I will have to just show them off here and all 3 of my readers can show the world

lol, I make myself giggle...

Here are the skates:

This is a picture of the inside of the skate,

aka the part of the skate that is next to the other skate.

So no one will really see this, its more for me. ^_^

This is the side of the skate that is visible to anyone who cares to look.

*Side note* I really don't have a side note today.

Jack of all Trades, Master at none

Today, lots of thoughts have been running through my head, too many…

Sometimes I think it’s better to be simple-minded at least that way you won’t know that you’re throwing your life away.

I guess that is what I have been feeling lately, I know no one can make me happy but me, it’s not as easy as it seems.

Time is holding me captive like it does everyone else.

Is my only choice to make the best of it or do I have the option to fight it kicking and screaming? It passes so quickly, I take a breath and a week has passed, I move my hand to my face and there goes a year.

Hmmm.

I picked up my computer and had all intentions of writing about music and the amazing effect it has upon ones soul, but it seems my mind had other things planned.

Let me try and steer you away from my depression introspective.

I find myself listening to Death Cab for Cutie more, my favorite song right now has to be "Passenger seat".

It’s slow and melodic but it captures my heart in a way that cannot be explained. Although I find the one song that encompasses how I feel is "the sound of Settling". It’s short but upbeat, you find yourself singing along with it.

Despite the upbeat tempo I feel like the song is attempting to give the listener a wakeup call by telling them that at one point the singer may have felt himself settling when he knew he could do so much more.

The line I love most is "My brains repeating, if you’ve got an impulse let it out."

It’s strange how writing this out makes the weight on my chest lighter. I think that is all I have to say for now. Sorry this was such a depressing post I’ll try to make the next post upbeat. ^_^

Here are some pictures that are lifting my spirits at the moment

Mama Mia.. Here we go again!

So I took a little trip to Pawling NY the other day for work.

It was an hour and a half drive there and I have to say that it was so beautiful over there.

The leaves were changing and it just happened to be a wonderful day!

I took some pics with my cell phone (I will share soon).

I wanted to head to the city last Monday to take a juggling class but I didn't get a chance because of work.

sadness.

Oh well but as of late I have started to make weekly trips to the Ice Skating Rink.

I really enjoy it, I would like to go with friend but some of them have phobias and are away...

These friends shall not be named....they know who they are.

Lol I love you guys anyway!

I find that I am becoming more and more confidant on the Ice, Mind you, I am in no way going to start flipping and swirling on the ice but I feel like I have come a really long way.

~Flashback~

For my 14Th Birthday I had an Ice Skating Party

(What else is there to do when your birthday is in the middle of winter)

It was time to go home and we were getting ready to go home,

When I got off the ice I slipped and fell and my skate turned my ankle in a very unnatural position following that there was a loud crack.

My Father insisting that I was fine said to walk on it.

Ha ha no way, Turns out that it was broken.

After that I swore off skating for a really long time.

That was until I went to Paris, it was winter and near Notre Dame they set up a outdoor rink.

After much convincing with things like "How many people can say they have been Skating in Paris" and "This is a once in a lifetime chance" I agreed and it was great.

~End Flashback~

Ah Memories, lol their not always pleasant but those are the things that make you, you...

OK I think I'm done with the whole memory lane thing or should I say memory lame... Badumpum.. ha ha bad joke..

I really hope you have stopped reading by now... Well anyway Later!

*Side note* I wish we had more Roller rinks in NY...Bummer

*Side notes Side note* My favorite Abba song has to be Super Trooper.

Le coeur a ses raisons que la raison ne connaît point

Watching TCM right now they are playing Harold Lloyd's world of comedy, he has to be my favorite silent movie stars.

Anyway I had to comment on what happened to autumn, It is my favorite season out of the whole year and it totally just passed as far as I am concerned its Winter. I have to wear scarves and gloves when I go outside... It's so cold...

But the cold also means that all my favorite Holidays are coming around! yay.

Dig North Young Jim

Those were the words I saw spray painted on a metal beam in the tunnel of Grand Central Station.
I went to juggling class finally this Monday (I'm trying to learn Poi spinning)
It was a great class my arms were sore afterward, but it was a good pain. My parents were away this week so it has been my sister, the dog and I.
I think a pretty good week all in all. I went to Max Brenner's : Chocolate by the bald man, this week with Jess.
We had The Brenner Burger and it came with these fries that were seasoned with a coco chili powder.
We shared because we wanted to make sure we had room for dessert
and for dessert we had the munchie waffles.
Omg sooo Good!
After all of that surprised that I was still able to move we took a walk to the strand book store and I got a French dictionary and then we walked to Barnes and Nobles so Jess could get a book he wanted.
I had a lot of fun, but it was bitter sweet, Jess is going to be away for 6 months. So although bummed I am really happy for him!
Hes is going to have a great time and will be missed Insanely!
Have a Great Trip Jess!!!

*Side Note* I recently saw Whip It! and it was AWESome!!

Apple Picking!!!

Yes Folks, Its that time of year!!!

Today was Fantastic, my family and I went Apple Picking at Maskers Orchard here in NY.

We go every year and this year we had the newest addition to the fam with us.

After we have pick a sufficient amount of apples

(and eaten enough to make us never want to see another one)

We have a picnic.

Then we go to the orchards gift shop and get all sorts of jams and mixes, I found the cutest cookie cutters.

Then we ate Apple doughnuts and drank cider.

(in my opinion they have the best cider ever at maskers)

We have done this every year since I was a kid.

So here are some pics from our day...

Up up and Away?

So there has been a lot of talk in the household of moving to Virginia.
This is something I am opposed to, Honestly, there is nothing for me there..

I mean my EMT licence is for NY and you can't get that transferred.
It's not like I'm trying to be difficult It's just that its so far from everything I love.
Virginia is not a city like NY, I wouldn't mind moving to Chicago, Florida or even Cali.

But how do you move a girl that grew up in Brooklyn, NY to Virginia.....?

They are not even comparable!

Anyway... Lately I have been getting back into drawing, I had kind of stopped because I have been super into crocheting. Here are some pictures of Crochet project i have been working on!!

The Raspberry Beret!

Granny Squares..

The Brighton Cowel

I haven't been taking a lot of pictures or blogging lately, I feel like i just don't have time and that makes me sad.
