30 Day Writing Challenge: Day 1

Something I'm looking forward to this year

So many things to look forward to! Graduation, trip to America, starting college...But I guess the most important thing I'm looking forward to is becoming an aunt. Squared. Lucky as I am, both my sister and one of my best friends got pregnant last year, and come May, I'll have a little "niece" named Lilyanna followed by my nephew (biological, this time) Nathan in June.

I've watched my friends and family members delight in being aunts and uncles and for a long time now, I've wished I could join the ranks and be a doting aunt. Finally, my wish has come true and not only will I have a little boy to coddle, but also a little girl to spoil.

Now, to work on the whole long-distance thing...

The time has come

for another lovely update with yours truly! Ok, so this post has no real thought behind it or anything, I was just reading other blogs and got the urge (you know, the URGE, baby...-rawr-). So, the epic hair saga continues this Friday at 5pm when I go to a friend's house who'll cut it. I really wanna let my hair grow out (like, all the way), but it just looks like crap right now, so I need a cut that'll grow out nicely, you know? I'm thinking of going back to the concave look (for those of you who are confused: Short in the back, gradually growing longer toward the face) because it worked out pretty nicely last time I had it done. Of course, the last time I went to a professional and this time I'll be in someone's kitchen, but the kitchen-lady has done good work in the past as well. x) In other news, I might not have told you about the whole teachers-going-into-retirement-scheme that happened back in December 09. Well, to put it lightly: The summer before the 200...

Closing in on me

You know, I try to suppress my feelings. I see people expressing them every day and all I can see is how they just make trouble. I don't like trouble. So I keep my feelings to myself. It's sort of my defense mechanism. If I tell myself I don't care enough, I start to really not care. But lately things have been piling up. I'll be watching a show and see something like poptarts and realize that I miss them, because there's no such thing as poptarts in Austria. Or Oreos. They do have Oreos in Austria, but not how I remember them. They have the snack packs, but I want the big boxes with the rolls of Oreos in them, just because that's how I used to eat them. I miss milk. It seems weird. There's milk everywhere, right? But it doesn't taste the same. I just like it more in America. In America, I could drink glass after glass of milk, but here, I can't even take one sip without cringing. They have light and they have normal milk, and there are no gallons, j...

Movie Reviews!

To begin with, a movie that I couldn't be disappointed with, because I had no high expectations for it to begin with: Twilight (and, subsequently, New Moon ). I must confess, I read the books eagerly. I just had to know what the fuss was all about! Unfortunately (or perhaps less so, because I was happy my assumptions about them were right), the books were less than great, in both writing style and plot. Thus said, I was expecting a cookie cutter movie. Once again, my assumptions were right. This has to be said, though, Twilight was never a big budget movie to begin with! The movie producers clearly told the public that Twilight was low budget, which, in movie-speak, generally means that the screenplay is less than superb and the acting is sub par. Twilight was no exception. Now, I know there are a lot of Kristen Stewart (affectionately called KStew by some) and Robert Pattinson (RPattz) fans out there, most even since BEFORE the Twilight series hit the big screen, by...
