Ethel is a very energetic baby. She did three bunny kicks in a row this morning, so that means she's really happy. I'm glad.
It's supposed to thunderstorm today. It looked like it would this morning but it hasn't yet. We have a softball game today at 7:45. I only want to go if Amanda pitches. That's the only time I ever get to play second. *sigh* Whatever. It's almost over.
I slept with my window open last night. I didn't even notice. I have a screen in front of it so it's not a biggie. I also had my curtains closed. But this morning all I could think was someone with a knife slicing up the screen and crawling into my room. =/
I didn't go to bed until about 1 this morning. I was up talking to Brian and Amanda. That's pretty early for summer, but yeah. So I'm sleeping and Mom comes in and says 'I know you're asleep, but I'm really late for work. Feed the dogs please.' It's like.. 7:30, the time I get up for school and I have to pull my ass out of bed and feed the damn dogs. And Jamie's sound asleep! Oh well. It's not like it was a big deal or anything, I was just super tired.
I watched the MTV Movie Awards last night. They were pretty cool. Except they bashed Mariah through the whole thing and I have no idea why. I hope she didn't see it. But they were pretty good. Brian and I took bets on who would win everything. I won all of them except two. We both lost one and for best movie, I said The Ring and he said Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers and that won.
I couldn't stop laughing when Daveighn Chase got up there to except her award for best villain. She played Samora in The Ring and she's such a cute little girl! She couldn't stop laughing and smiling. Ashton and P. Diddy were giving her hugs and stuff. Too cute. But yah, at the end she did the voice and said 'Everyone wil suffer..' I was getting chills. =) Amazing how sweet she is and could play someone that evil.
I burned a Broadway Show Tunes mix. Actually it's volumes one and two because I had so many. I may do three in a little while. I also made a Sinatra mix CD and I'm gonna do some more later. It's nice to have all my music in a portable fashion instead of saved playlists on my computer.
I hung up my Elvis poster yesterday. I put rope lights around it so it looks like an old movie poster. But the lights are a little sloppy so I may take it down. I want to paint my room again. When I did it pink and orange, I thought it'd be so cute. But it's too loud for me, I think. I'd like a light blue or an almost gray looking color. That'd be so nice. Brian said he'd paint a mural of an old fifties drive-thru on one of my walls. I told him what I really wanted..
Here's the idea. Since I have so much room in here, I think it'd really work. On one wall, preferably the one on the right when you walk in, I'd have a small platform coming out of it like a stage. Then I'd have velvet red curtains coming along side of it. The platform would only be in the center of the wall, not the whole thing. I'd put like my bed on it or something. Maybe the diner set I'm hoping to get for my birthday could go up there. Then I'd have my name painted above that little platform like an old movie marquee. I think it'd look oh so nice. *sigh* I think Mom would go for it. The platform could just be wood planks bought at Home Depot or something. Then I could save for some more lights to go around there. That would just rock my world if I could do that.
I want to re-arrange my room since I have the time and the whole house to myself.. but I don't know where I want to put anything. *sigh* I feel so lethargic and gross today. I think a shower will make it all better.
But yeah, back to the room thing. I'm going to take down all the stuff that doesn't really go in my room.. like the peace frog poster and the blacklight posters. I don't have a blacklight anymore so it's not very helpful. I'm just going to start over with all new old Hollywood posters, my Lucy stuff and my Austin Powers stuff. It'd be nice to get new tiles in here too, but I know that can get a bit expensive. These ones have been in here since the room was a playpen.. back when I was like, three. So a lot of them are missing pieces, cracking, paint-splattered, and some along the sides and in the corner are shifting and loose. I'm not sure what kind I'd get though. These ones are gray with pink tulip looking flowers in all four corners. Then they've got intertwining spirals coming out towards some weird shape. They don't match at all. Amanda and I were talking about tiles. Amanda wants black and white checkered ones. I want it like an old diner and that's the kind they have but .. ehh.. it'd have to match whatever I painted it. And I'm not painting my room black. Nope. I could use the gray idea, that would work. Maybe I'll look at tiles on a website or something and see how much it'll be. But I think if I make my room look like I want it to, I'll feel better. It'll be so cool. I mean, I love my room now, but it's not exactly the way I want it and that sucks. So if I fix it, I'll never come out! Hee hee. I'm serious though. I'm thinking about getting rid of all the stuff that's taking up space that I never use. Like packing up my stuffed animals and some knicknacks. Cleaning out that filing cabinet and maybe selling it.
LIGHTBULB.
I could have a garage sale! Oh wow, that'd be awesome! I could get all the money I needed for re-doing my room and having a clean one too! What would I sell? *looks around* I'm a pack-rat so it'd be hard to give stuff up without *memories* I'd give away the filing cabinet. Probably that old old old (like 1992) set of Encyclopedias and Science library and Auto/Home Repair books. Mom was going to get rid of that but I made her save them for *memories*. I'm so retarded. Let's see.. what else. Definitely some old clothes. I'd have to dig through some drawers and see what I can find. Then, I could put my old barbies in that big suitcase up in the attic. I don't know what I'd do about my stuffed animals. I wouldn't give those up but I've got SO many. I don't want them to get all moldy either. They're in a nice place now, a little plastic tower looking thing.. but.. yah. They're taking up too much room! I also have two beds, but I kinda like that because one's pretty much a couch and when people come over. It also takes up room though.
Then there's that dollhouse I got when I was eleven. It was one of those DIY things where you build it together. Mom and I got the house going and part of the shingles, but it's been sitting in the cobwebs for like.. a year and a half now. But I've got like a hundred dollars in furniture and porcelain dolls for it. So yeah. It takes up so much room and it's on a big television cart I could get rid of. I just don't know how to tell my mom that I want the innocnet part of my room GONE. I'd get rid of the two little plastic tables I got filled with stuff and put all that somehwere else. And in the end, I'd probably get rid of one of those beds. Or better yet, keep both of them and take the headboard and footboard of of my bed and then put those two near each other. Like one facing out and the other one sideways touching each other. Man, that's a good idea. I'll definitely talk to Mom about that one. Then I'd have even more room.
Jamie came in and said she'd take a lot of my stuffed animals since some of them are hers anyway. But I'm keeping the ones that are from movies so they'd go with my room decor. Like my ET doll and my ALF doll. She said she doesn't think Mom would let me re-paint my room. I decided I'd do it light blue and then get just different tiles and such. Gosh, it'd be so awesome. Jamie thinks that Mom wouldn't mind the stage idea. I know I definitely wouldn't! But she said I shouldn't get curtains. What I would get is those gold poles with the red, velvet strands to keep people out. I'd circle it around the stage on the floor so it'd look even coooooler. Woo! Can't waaaaaait! I think I'd be able to get it down this summer too, hot daaamn!
