so. over the course of thirteen days, i have somehow managed to see divergent five times. in the cinema. with different companions. FIVE TIMES. which is pretty ridiculous, even for me. six months ago i'd never even heard of the franchise, and when captureinsanity told me about it, i was all, "pffft, that sounds like it's going to be just as bad as the hunger ( Read more... )

so in the spirit of not thinking about depressing things, i'm going to post about the final leg of my 9 week trip to san francisco! and about how overwhelmingly glad i am to finally be home, ahhhhh! if there's anything this trip has shown me, it's how much i don't want to be away from home. to be fair, that probably wasn't helped by the fact that ( Read more... )

SO I SAW JUSTIN IN CONCERT TONIGHT FOR PROBABLY THE FIRST AND LAST TIME IN MY LIFE AND HE WAS SO MUCH MORE THAN I COULD'VE EVER IMAGINED OR PREDICTED AND NOW I CAN DIE HAPPY. the only way this could've been better was if i'd been in front of the stage instead of so far back (in good seats, but SO FAR BACK) that he looked like a tiny stick person ( Read more... )

okay. deep breath. reliving this experience is going to be pretty painful, but i'm tempering it with shopping sprees and disneyland, so hopefully that will even the score out. early wednesday morning we headed out to the livermore outlet mall, prepped for a couple of hours of bargain hunting. how wrong we were. my aunt is the best kind of person to ( Read more... )

a couple of nights back, i was invited to attend a church mass-slash-concert type thing; it's still a toss-up whether i was more surprised than my cousin when i said yes. (maybe it shouldn't have been that surprising, considering i spent 10 years of my life studying in a convent (and very much loving my time there)). sometimes i miss singing hymns ( Read more... )

iiiiiiii am finally getting around to posting my recap about cook being in singapore last thursday and all the madness that entailed. first of all, i suck at photos, so everything here is from doctor_jehane, tynislove or starafar. thank you, lovelies! and since we're on the topic of doctor_jehane, if you're privileged enough to be on her (tres exclusive) f-list, you should RUN ON OVER THERE ( Read more... )

i just realized that loads has happened since my last entry and i haven't said anything about it. and if i don't log all of it soon i'm going to frantically search my lj in three years trying to remember what exactly happened and then be appalled that there's no recollection of it. IT'LL BE LIKE IT NEVER EVEN HAPPENED. so ( Read more... )

i knew i would enjoy copenhagen (duh! how often do you get bubbleforest taking 4 days off work JUST TO BE WITH YOU) and stockholm was supposed to be great already (because i thought i had friends there as well, only it turned out they didn't come through for me because of course hot boys who come through for you don't actually exist irl) but i had pretty much ( Read more... )

because i had to wait, like, four freaking days to get around to writing my recap of copenhagen, it didn't do the place justice at all, and was not at all up to par with bubbleforest's fabulous one, SO. i am getting a headstart on stockholm and taking advantage of a brief lull in our schedule to start on it. i had THE BEST TIME EVER, oh my god, stockholm comes ( Read more... )
