Epic Shopping Weekend

Every once in a while, you just find everything you need/want in every store you go to, and it's the best feeling in the world. I had this the past 48 hours. So now I'm going to list everything I got, because I feel like it and it IS Blog Every Day April. (But don't get any ideas; I'm not blogging every day.)

All About Me (a boutique)
-Four summery shirts
-Two pairs of gladiator-esque sandals that fit (That doesn't happen often)

New Orleans Music Exchange
-A full set of quality ukulele strings

Buffalo Exchange
-A secondhand army shirt for my Halloween costume (I'm gonna be a Hurl Scout from Whip It!)

Funky Monkey
-A vintage silver necklace with the Louisiana World's Fair 1984 logo
-A Beatles pin to fill in the spot on my book bag where one of my pins fell off

Best Buy
-American Idiot by Green Day (yeah, I didn't own it before. I fail as a fan.)

...And a partridge in a pear tree.

Listening to "Jesus of Suburbia," naturally.
Reading The Neon Bible by John Kennedy Toole

I Prefer Lists to Blogs

So instead of blabbering on about the mundane facets of my life, I'm going to list things I like/dislike/have/whatever. Ok? Yeah, I thought so. Today we'll do some music.

Favorite Songs (of the moment)

"Whistle for the Choir" by the Fratellis
"You Don't Know Me" by Ben Folds (Feat. Regina Spektor)
"Inside Out" by Eve 6
"Start Wearing Purple" by Gogol Bordello
"Effington" by Ben Folds (This is an equally awesome cover by Mike Lombardo)
"Bad Romance" by Lady Gaga
"Energy" by The Apples in Stereo
"Winter's Song" by Alan Lastufka and Luke Conard

My iChat Just Flickered...

I have just been overcome by an urge to update my poor neglected blog. Sometimes, I listen to my urges. Like today.

Apparently, there was play rehearsal today. I didn't get the memo. I hope my teacher isn't mad because I have a pretty big part. This is the first play-like thing I've ever been in ever. I say "play-like" because it's an incredibly abridged Beauty and the Beast in French. It's for a competition and I'm Lumiere.

I promised no one that I was going to blog, but I kind of like doing it now-and-again. Maybe I'll get into a rhythm and slowly become famous on the internet like hayleyghoover (who totally knows who I am !). :) I've been feeling pretty inexplicably lonely (I hate myself for being so emo in a blog. What am I, 13?), so maybe this will become a sort of release. I never let myself whine and complain about my life, but this is my freaking blog. If you don't like it, leave (assuming anyone is reading this besides Erica, which who really be weird).

Listening to: "Cosmic Love" by Florence + the Machine

Reading: The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (Gag Me.)

A Blog.

Well. In blogs you say interesting things that have happened to you since you last blogged. I don't blog much and nothing astronomically exciting has happened since I got out of school but I will just write little tidbits of my life RIGHTHERESTARTINGNOWGO!!!

I started my first job ever a few weeks ago. I'm finally working at the cafe that's been an integral art of my life since age 5. It's kind of surreal, and all of the veterans there took double takes when I walked in in uniform. Tyler and Tim keep trying to intimidate me like they do to all the new girls and it's not working. One of the counter girls thought we were related because he just walked up behind me and stood REALLY close. And he told her we're cousins, which I mean, we are LIKE family, buy yeah, the counter girls who didn't previously know me think I'm CreepyTyler's cousin. 

I work in the back with the kitchen guys and the bus boys, and the topics of discussion are hilarious. Lots of horror movies and video games, but also travel and language and Harry Potter versus Twilight and my mom (EVERYONE there knows and loves my mom with the exception of like 5 people) and music and history and heritage and literature and of course, Disney Fridays. :)

I enjoy my job and I got my first paycheck yesterday so I'm really happy now. I'm gonna end this blog here because the next thing I want to discuss is really long, so stay tuned! 

Currently listening to "1901" by Phoenix (they're French!)

I just signed to blog from my phone. im easily amused. More to come soon about those TWO concert im going to 12 June. excitement!!!!! <3_

Three Parts

Ok, I'm gonna break this blog up into several parts

Part 1: This blogging thing is hard. Is my life seriously this unnoteworty? Is unnoteworthy even a word? It is now. 

Part 2: I am ready for school to be over. The seniors' last day is tomorrow, and that's really exciting for me, even though I'm not a senior. Their graduation is the beginning of the end. I actually have a full summer planned. I am starting my first real paying job in June, on 12 June I am going to TWO concerts, and I just settled how I'm getting my service hours. That's pretty booked for me. I'm sure I'll do other things with my friends too, though.

Part 3: I like tv again. I had pretty much stopped watching tv a couple months ago except for Gilmore Girls every afternoon at 4. But I just started like setting time aside to watch two shows back to back on Mondays: Big Bang Theory and How I Met Your Mother. I actually get a LOT of the really nerdy references in Big Bang Theory, and I LOVE anything Neil Patrick Harris touches. He's like my hero... it's a shame he's gay. 

...I thought about going on, but I decided just to leave on that note. ;)
