Sunday- Boring



Wow, I’m so completely sorry for not updating. I’ve been asleep for what seems like days now. I’m not sure what’s wrong with me, but I think I should see a doctor. I’ve never been this tired in my life, so I hope I’m not catching any sort of flu.

However, I have been up for short periods of time to do a few things:

1. I 1. I must’ve watched Donnie Darko five times in the past two days. I saw it a long, long time ago, and I was too young to understand it then. I love how complex it is, and how every little detail is significant in some way. If you haven’t seen it, rent it.

2. I 2. I started knitting again. I had to re-learn how, but it was worth it. It’s really a terrific way to calm nerves. Especially when you have midterms in two days.

3 3. I studied. I have a science midterm Tuesday, and I’m not looking forward to that one.

Tomorrow I’m heading out to Staples as soon as it opens to get my new school things, and a few blank CD’s. My friend’s been asking me to recommend music to her, so I figured to just make her a mix tape! Then I’ll go to Michaels perhaps to stock up on art supplies so I can make crafty, witty things when my exams are through.

I pushed aside my school work Friday and started some strange design. A friend of mine was begging me to put it up, so I will at the bottom.

Oh, and I need to squeeze in one more viewing of Donnie Darko before bed, so farewell!

Wednesday Means We're Halfway Through



School is getting old, to me. It’s the same schedule every day, and nothing exciting or out of the ordinary ever happens. I can’t wait for Friday, because it’s the end of the second quarter. Fresh starts are always the best, and I’m going out to Staples Saturday to buy new binders and notebooks. I like to feel clean, and after 4 months of using the same notebooks every day, they get pretty filthy.

As for my friend, I have no clue. We spoke for a few brief moments today, but as usual, she got angry at me for a pointless reason. I almost want to drop our friendship, but it’s so hard. Everything seems so difficult, and I never know what choices to make. I care too much about others to do anything for myself, I guess.

My negativity is terrible, so I should probably mention the happiness I have for my Ansco Clipper. I really hope I can take it to the camera store to see how it works, and maybe find some film for it. I really admire vintage photography, so I’m excited. It was actually given to me this past Christmas as a gift from one of my other friends, who I’m also unfortunately having some disagreements with. But anyway, I’ll post a picture of my beauty below!

Again, I’m exhausted. But before bed I really, really want to wash my hair extensions, learn some new ways to do Smokey eye makeup, and download some more songs. So goodnight!

A Regular Tuesday


I feel like the day is dragging on, and I can’t wait for it to end! I could barely sleep last night, and I had to wake up at five, so I’m running on a three hours rest. I would take a nap, but then I won’t be able to sleep again tonight.

I didn’t miss much at school yesterday, since all of our classes have revolved around Mid-term reviewing for the past few days. When I woke up, I thought I would desperately needed coffee, but what was the point if my mom only buys decaf? Surprisingly though, I didn’t fall asleep during class like I usually do.

Unfortunately, my friend and I got in an argument today. We’ve known each other for eight years, and I simply feel like she’s changed due to a certain relationship she’s in. It’s a shame, really, because I do miss her. I was at her house with another friend, and she began yelling at me for everything I did, so I cracked and screamed at her. I feel extremely bad, though.

Nothing too eventful happened at school, but when I got home my friend Greg asked me to participate in a photo shoot type of thing for an art project. He's doing a series of them, and they each have the theme of an addiction. So hopefully that will be something to look forward to. If you’re interested in his work, I’ll add a link to his Flickr below.

Before I go to bed, I’m going to download a few songs to my iTunes library, finish ‘The Darjeeling Limited, and read another part of my book for English. Who knows, maybe I’ll have enough time to sketch around in my drawing pad too.

Introduction

Either you know me very well, or you've met me through internet browsing. I had one single blog before this, but only my closest friend knew the url. I blogged about the boys I was into, and kept it for personal uses. Eventually, after reading a few very inspiring blogs, I decided to publicize this one and get rid of throw away what I would previously write about.

For those of you who don’t know me, I’m Abby. I was born in Stamford Connecticut, moved to Florida at the age of 11, and returned here when I was 12. I’m a high school student, and I would like to move to Chicago one day and be accepted into an arts school. Because it’s the month starting the New Year, I made the resolution to finish what I begin. With that, I’m going to keep up with this and blog once a day, if not more.

I woke up late this morning, and decided to take the day off, so there isn’t much to say for now. I have a few chapters to read of a book for school which I’m dreading. If you’ve ever heard of “We Are Witnesses”, you would probably agree, unless you’re interested in monotone-seeming, factual, long, holocaust books.
