Oh, hi. I know it’s been nearly A WEEK since my last post, but hey, I’ve been busy. (Not really.) I wrote a paper last week for English. It wasn’t due until Saturday, but I finished it Friday afternoon. (That’s amazing for me, considering the fact that in high school, I usually wrote my papers the morning they were due. I honestly do work best under pressure.) Anyway, for your reading pleasure, I’ve borrowed a “currently” survey from Lauren from Texas.
Current Book(s): I’m in love with memoirs/autobiographies. Right now, I’m reading High On Arrival by Mackenzie Phillips. I also have Rockabye: From Wild to Child by Rebecca Woolf (aka Girl’s Gone Child) on it’s way. CAN’T WAIT.
Current Playlist: I have the soundtrack to 500 Days of Summer coming soon, and Ingrid Michaelson’s new cd is playing in my car. However, my iPod is my best friend. Here are a few must-listens (seriously, listen to them): Alanis Morrissette, Azure Ray, Fiona Apple, Iron & Wine, Maria Taylor, Pete Yorn & Scarlett Johansson, Sigur Ros, Sufjan Stevens, Trespassers William, Zee Avi.
Current Shame-Inducing Guilty Pleasure: Shopping. I’m obsessed with online shopping. It’s a guilty pleasure I can’t rid myself of.
Current Color: I realize I have a lot of greys, blues, pinks, and browns in my wardrobe. I absolutely love the colors of fall, though. (Red, orange, yellow, brown.)
Current Fetish: Good question. I honestly don’t believe I have any fetishes, unless my love for chocolate is one.
Current Drink: Mountain Dew. I know, gross. I’m about to cut carbonated beverages from my life, though. H2O and juice for this girl!
Current Food: At this exact moment, nothing. I’m craving salads and fruits, though. I need to go shopping.
Current Favorite Show: Hands down, Grey’s Anatomy. Well, that’s my favorite current show. My favorite show of all time? Gilmore Girls.
Current Wishlist: Nikon D5000. I will get it by January! I will.
Current Needs: Warmer clothes. The cold weather is sneaking up on me too quickly!
Current Triumphs: Going back to school. I’m doing well. I’m making a B in history at the moment, but I hope to bring that up soon.
Current Bane(s) of my Existence: RAIN! Ugh.
Current Celebrity Crush: Always, Alanis Morissette. Her voice is lovely. Also? I kind of adore Michael Cera as an actor. He has such an awkward-funny personality in all of his movies.
Current Indulgence: Cuddling on the couch with Husband while watching hours upon hours of Gilmore Girls.
Current #1 Blessing: Husband. I’m lucky to have such a great guy in my life.
Current Slang or Saying: After watching five full seasons of Grey’s Anatomy, “seriously” has been a term I’ve been known to use often. Also, “Oy, with the poodles already” is a saying I’m determined to use (a la Gilmore Girls).
Current Outfit: I’m honestly a walking ad for American Eagle. I have AE jeans on, an AE tank top under an AE long-sleeve shirt, and an AE hoodie. My shoes are New Balance, though. This is my comfy-wear.
Current Excitement: I’m always excited for the weekend! I’m also excited about all of the babies being born in my family. Husband’s aunt should be having her baby any day now (she was due Sunday); she’s having a girl. Two of my male cousin’s wives are having boys within the next month or two. My aunt (who is practically my big sister, since she’s eight years older than me) is having her first baby in January. Exciting!
Current Mood: Nostalgic with a touch of baby fever.
Current Link: Violence Unsilenced. Maggie, Dammit has created this safe haven for survivors of domestic violence (men and women, alike) to tell their stories. Since President Obama has declared October as National Domestic Violence Awareness Month, I wanted to put my little reminder out there to support these awesome survivors. If you have a story to share, feel free to do so. VU allows anonymous submissions as well.
