Something Insightful.

As I've probably mentioned a million times by now, my birthday is on Sunday. Sixteen has always been an age regarded as a big deal it doesn't mean your an adult, or make you of legal age for anything, but it's still huge enough to garner people spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on parties and gifts (I've seen a lot of My Super Sweet 16 lately). I'm not spending that kind of money, or even doing anything extravagant, but I guess all the hype makes this one feel special anyway.

I feel a little old turning sixteen, I remember watching so many television shows and movies with characters who were sixteen, and they always seemed so much older than me. (I've always been a big fan of teen soaps and movies that take place in high schools.) Now I'll be their age, which is kind of exciting and weird. Of course, the second I start to feel old I'm brought back to reality by the fact that I still can't get my license until May. (People with late birthdays: feel my pain?)

As my birthday and the weekend approaches I'm getting more and more excited. Friday should be a lot of fun, my plans for the weekend are a go, and I've made sure to stock up on candy and soda to ensure lots of girlie fun. (Suggestions still welcome!)

On a pretty much unrelated note, other than the fact that Halloween is approaching, what do you plan to dress up as for Halloween?

(The photo may not make sense to you guys, but it's a screen cap from the movie Sleepover, so it made sense to me!)

The party/sleepover is tomorrow, so you can't expect a post. I'll be trying to prepare everything beforehand, but I'll give feedback on Saturday.

Over The Hump.

The first half of the semester is just about done, and although the week isn't quite over, it's fast approaching the exciting weekend.

Until then I have homework to do, a haircut to get, sleep to catch up on, rooms to clean, plans to finalize, and a costume to finish. All very important tasks to keep me busy!

Love always. I have an introduction paragraph calling my name.

Tire Me Out.

Mid-terms are really knocking me out, but I have a half day of school on Thursday and then I'll be totally done with mid-terms. It'll be a tough week, but I have a lot of good things going on too, so those should get me through it. Girlie sleepover on Friday, Trick-or-treating on Saturday, and family/birthday stuff on Sunday.

I'm still in search of suggestions for the sleepover, so if you have any fun activities or good movie suggestions, I would be thankful!

Hope your weeks are going well and that everyone is getting enough sleep and has amazing Halloween plans in the works.

That Is The One To My Heart.

My dad returned from a trip today with presents in hand. A key necklace for both me and my mom. They aren't really the Tiffany ones in the picture, but until I find the memory card for the camera, those will have to do. They're both about the size of the smaller necklace in the picture. Mine is really cute and girlie, and the one he gave my mom is a little more simple. I'll be sure to get a picture of the exact necklace when I can because I'm quite smitten, I'm even planning to wear it tomorrow.

A few other things...
I started buying parts for my Halloween costume, so far I've got hot pink lipstick, false eyelashes, white gloves, and a big pink bow.
I finally cleaned my room, and made progress with the magazines I have piling up to read.

This week will probably be a little busy. I have mid-terms Tuesday and Wednesday (oh no!) and then of course there is Halloween, and my birthday on Sunday.

Speaking of my birthday, I'm not doing a full blown party, but I'll probably have a few girls over on Friday. Good girlie movie suggestions as well as activities are more than welcome! I'd love to hear them.

The Best Way.

I spent my day being a little lazy and relaxing. In the morning I caught myself up on Degrassi and then I went for a manicure. I got OPI Lincoln Park At Midnight (different than Lincoln Park After Dark), it's a little hard to make out in the picture, but it's really pretty. It's a great dark purple shade, perfect for fall. While I was there I got my eyebrows done, and it totally made my day. Which is a little superficial, but they'd been bugging me for a while because last time I got them done they turned out poorly, so I've been waiting for them to get back to normal.

The rest of my day was very unproductive, my room is still a mess and I still have magazines to get to, but I suppose that is how weekends really should be!

This post is a little late because time got away from me, I would've posted on Saturday, but now it's actually Sunday. It was before twelve when I was going to post, but then I remembered I needed to check movie times, so I did that first. I wanted to see Whip It, but it already isn't playing anywhere! I can't believe it's out of theaters so fast, I was disappointed, but oh well. I'll have to find a new way to spend my Sunday. Maybe a little shopping?

Make Up Your Mind.

My Friday night plans I mentioned yesterday were axed, and have been bumped to next week. Except now were going to the moves on Saturday and going trick-or-treating afterwards. I was thinking that last year would be my final year of trick-or-treating, but when it was brought up, turns out I can't resist.

If these plans actually work out, I'm about 80% sure of my costume. I've decided to be Minnie Mouse because it'll be cute and easy to construct. I'm going to be a slightly more glitzy version and wear my homecoming dress, black tights, white gloves, mouse ears, and a big bow. And of course really long eyelashes will be a necessity! If you have plans for Halloween, what are you being?

Get It Together, Gals.

I believe me and my friends are going to see The Stepfather tomorrow night, I say that I believe we are because they aren't exactly the best plan makers. Hopefully all goes well and it actually happens, because of course I want to support a movie featuring someone from Gossip Girl. (Even if I'm not the biggest Dan fan.)


What I'll wear to the movies is almost an indefinite as the plans. The weather has made it a little hard to plan for outfits lately, I've been shivering in my boots one day and sweating in my leather jacket the next day. I'll probably compromise with something light, but cozy, like a nice cardigan and tights combo. Maybe even a loud pair of tights would be fun.

TGIAF
(Thank god it's almost Friday!)

PS, We have two computers in our house. A family one and the one in my room. I always post from the one in my room, so I really only see what things look like on my screen. On my screen the pictures I post fill up all the available room, but I noticed on the other computer it makes the pictures look really small (in comparison, anyway). I'm not sure what is up with it, but let me know how they look to you. Blogger seems to cute off pictures that are wider than around 660 px, so I'm not sure what exactly I can do. (And I'm uploading them on tinypic, not on blogger, but it cuts them off anyway when I post.)
