On vacation but still posting :]]

So my written part of the blog will be short this week because I have included most of my things in a vlog you will see down below.

Today is my last full day of vacation here in Gulf Shores, Alabama. It is quite sad but today has been an awesome day. I first got to go parasailing, and although it cost seventy dollars it was so worth it. It was amazing to be 500 feet above the ocean and to see all of the creatures below including sea turtles, manna rays and giant jellyfish. Next I went to a local souvenir place called Souvenir City. It is a tradition to go to this store and buy random nick nacks that will be lost in a year or so.

It was nice to get away from work and the real world and spend a week with my 35 other family members. There was always something to keep me entertained, whether it was a late night poker game or an underage intoxicated cousin there was never a dull moment. It will be sad to leave and get back to the real world but at least I have something to look forward to for 2010. See we always go here every other year and I think the next visit will be even more fun because I will be 21 and can join in on all the fun :]]

Anyway that is about all I wanted to say here and without further ado……the vlog.

Mae here is a little something I made that was creative and had to do with Harry Potter.

No one be offended if they are Republican it is just a harmless joke :]]

Anyway I believe that is all I have for this week. I will be sure to include pictures from my trip either in my next post or on the flickr account. Hope all of you are having a great week.

Until next Friday,

Maggie

“This must be Thursday. I never could get the hang of Thursdays.”

Good morning!  (Yes, Maggie, I said I was going to post at 10:30 but I got excited and buckled, haha!)  My title quote comes from The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.  As taken from Wikipedia (good ‘ol Wiki), I quote:

In The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams, the character Arthur Dent says “This must be Thursday. I never could get the hang of Thursdays”. A few minutes later the planet Earth is destroyed. Thor, for whom the day was named, also appears later in the Hitchhiker’s series and in other Adams books. Appropriately, in The Long Dark Tea-time of the Soul, one of the characters says to Thor: “I’m not used to spending the evening with someone who’s got a whole day named after them”.

Now, my freshmen year art teacher started reading this book to my art club after school while we worked on projects (like this one: ).  I don’t know how far we got and I don’t remember much except for his fake accents and funny hair.  We did not finish either.  I do not expect to finish.  This is not the book I will be reading for your challenge, Katie.

As many of you know, I will be reading TWILIGHT.  I will NOT get sucked in.  I have someone I can borrow the book from but I might as well buy it, right?  Then I can bend the corners and leave it in my purse to get mashed around…  But that’s that.  I will think about it.

Monday night I went beading with my mom at one of our church choir friend’s house.  (Go here for some pictures of my jewelry!)  Anyway, I looked in the mirror to see how something looked and I noticed something HORRIFYING.  My hair was no longer blonde.  I seriously had a mental breakdown.  I knew it had been getting darker and I have always known it would become darker but the time came where I actually noticed.  I got sort of upset and threw a tiny tantrum.  I also texted six of my friends with this message: I’m not blonde anymore!!!  I just realized it!  It’s a dirty, ugly color…

Just so you know, I am not usually this concerned about my hair.  I love my hair!  I think it was the light…  It is really a dirty blonde.  I’m considering dying/hi-lighting my hair (blonde or other color) so suggestions would be nice (not that I will for sure use your suggestions – I will think about them, though!)

Here are my answers to your quesitons!

If you were to be any movie, what would you be and why?

• My movie would be The Holiday.  Specifically the character Iris.  This is for numerous reasons.  Unrequited love, lots of crying, emotional person, befriending old people…  Oh, and Jack Black.  His character is wonderful, funny and a musician (this is a theme with me, haha).  If I were the type of person to have a celebrity crush, he would be my celebrity crush.  :)

Have you ever had a bad roommate? If so tell stories, if not tell why you think you and your roommate have worked out.

• I… thought that I had a bad roommate but a year apart has only made us stronger!  My friend Nicole and I met at the freshmen camp in the summer before we started school.  We decided that we had a lot in common and we decided to be roommates.  The year started off great but we soon started to get on each other’s nerves.  I wasn’t used to keeping my thoughts to myself and that annoyed her and she had some habits that bugged me too.  This year we were just neighbors on our floor.  We missed each other and when it came time to choose roommates again we decided to give it another shot.  We’ve since worked our our difficulties and we both know how to deal with each other after two years of friendship.  I’ll let you know how it goes!

What is your favorite book?

• Oh gosh.  I’m trying to think of the last time I was completely enamored with a book…  Thinking hard… I think it would have to be the Harry Potter series.  :(  I read voraciously (oh ho ho, a big word!) every time I got one of those books.  I only got to experience three book releases, though, so the one I read the most hungrily was Order of the Phoenix (plus I don’t like six or seven).  Since then, I have read other books that I enjoyed but nothing compares to reading a Harry Potter book for me.  :)

Now here’s my video for the week!!!  It’s under 4 minutes!  :P

(I said “irrational fears” not “RATIONAL fears” – that would be silly, lol)

I really think I can fit more than four minute’s worth into a video because I talk so fast.  Yes!

Til next week (or sooner!)

LOVES!

PS:  I SO want to talk about my feelings on your blog topic, Brittany, but I’ve gone through this thought process too many times and I’m actually at peace with myself right now, haha.  Maybe when I’m in a ranty mood…
