So yesterday was Thanksgiving & I spent it with my friend Lisa. The first time in 7 years that I have not cooked. Lisa's brother is an amazing chef from Italy, so I was thankful to be able to joing her family for dinner. After dinner played games and then we took off at 12:30am to go to the woodbury commons to add to the chaos of the begining of black friday. Holy crap. I have never done that before....people are crazy...and we fit right in. I was stoked, Aldo was having a 50% off sale and I love Aldo. I bought this as a little x-mas gift to myself...

We didn't get home from shopping until 8am. We are crazy. I have been so tired all day.
I went out to for sushi tonight and it was amazing.... & tonight, Lycia got home from tour.
yay!



I love this.
so pretty.
holy crap.

don't you just want to hop in a car and drive down this road as far as it will take you....hoping that it lasts for as long as possible.

Ten Rules for Being Human

by Cherie Carter-Scott

1.	You will receive a body. You may like it or hate it, but it's yours to keep for the entire period.
2.	You will learn lessons. You are enrolled in a full-time informal school called, "life."
3.	There are no mistakes, only lessons. Growth is a process of trial, error, and experimentation. The "failed" experiments are as much a part of the process as the experiments that ultimately "work."
4.	Lessons are repeated until they are learned. A lesson will be presented to you in various forms until you have learned it. When you have learned it, you can go on to the next lesson.
5.	Learning lessons does not end. There's no part of life that doesn't contain its lessons. If you're alive, that means there are still lessons to be learned.
6.	"There" is no better a place than "here." When your "there" has become a "here", you will simply obtain another "there" that will again look better than "here."
7.	Other people are merely mirrors of you. You cannot love or hate something about another person unless it reflects to you something you love or hate about yourself.
8.	What you make of your life is up to you. You have all the tools and resources you need. What you do with them is up to you. The choice is yours.
9.	Your answers lie within you. The answers to life's questions lie within you. All you need to do is look, listen, and trust.
10.	You will forget all this.

I have been in New York City for nearly three weeks now. I really like it here. I enjoy walking in the crowded streets with the brisk east coast air. Its quite pretty most places. People keep trying to convince me that I should move here...i'm not sure how I feel about it yet.
I love the culture here compared to southern california.
I love the architecture and the subways.
I love that I can go and win lottery tickets to see Broadway's Wicked and sit in the 2nd row.
I love that I an go eat at Red Bamboo whenever I please or walk down to K Dog or Mud and sipp a tasty hot bevy.
I love that I can randomly spend an evening hanging out with kirsten dunst.
I love that i can walk almost anywhere.
I love the music.
I love that I see so many friends in this city from near and far...a constant rotation.
I love that I am inspired for the art on the streets and the people I meet.
I love that I can dance my heart out to some of the best DJ's around.
I love that I have Katy Perry's boobs on my lap.
I love that I can hop on a plane to Pittsburgh to see my lovely Katie and it's only $70. RULES.
I love that I can look out at Prospect Park when I stay with Lisa, Allison Lycia and Jes.
I love that I can do all of this and still get all of my work done and more...
I love New York.

The Keep A Breast Foundation has partnered with Fox and Unite the United to present Shot In the Pit, a fundraising initiative through Keep A Breast’s Music For Awareness program. Combining art, photography, music, and philanthropy, Shot In the Pit is a touring exhibition featuring band photos from the legendary summer music festival Vans Warped Tour® taken by photographer Erin Caruso. The exhibitions take place at five venues from New York to Los Angeles beginning October 21- December 4, 2008.

“Though the primary focus of the Vans Warped Tour is about having fun, the presence of organizations such as Keep A Breast gives our fans a chance to learn something that could eventually save their lives,” said festival founder Kevin Lyman.

As the Pit Reporter from Vans Warped Tour, Caruso was up close and personal with the bands on the road. From her photo sessions this summer, she has donated over 45 images to the Keep A Breast Foundation. Unite the United will facilitate an online auction of images from the exhibition alongside music memorabilia and celebrity breast casts including Katy Perry beginning November 26 - December 6th. 100% of the proceeds generated from the touring exhibition and the online auction will be donated to the Keep A Breast Foundation’s youth awareness and outreach efforts.

Vampires....

So, I went to the movie theater today and saw Twilight. It was really good in my personal opinion. Yes, I am sure that if I read the book first I would have probably not been so keen on the movie... However, I did not, so now I'm super into it. I am going to go buy the book tomorrow an when I read it, I get to picture that hot piece of man as Edward Cullin...I'm pretty stoked about that.

holidays and me.

So...
I don't want to be home nor do I want to be in Colorado with family over the holidays.
What I would really like to do is go on vacation. I'm down to go by myself...but I would much rather spend the time over the holidays with some friends. I want to go to Paris, but I am defiantly not opposed to going to a beautiful and tropical location. I happen to really enjoy lounging on the beach and sipping pina coladas. :)
and what better way to do that than with some friends.
so if you want to come on an adventure...lazy or exciting....Paris, Jamaica, whatever...
I'm into it. let me know.

Girls are like

apples on trees. The best
ones are at the top of the tree.
The boys don't want to reach for
the good ones because they are afraid
of falling and getting hurt. Instead, they
just get the rotten apples from the ground
that aren't as good, but easy. So the apples
at the top think something is wrong with
them, when in reality, they're amazing.
They just have to wait for the right
boy to come along, the one
who's brave enough
to climb
all the way
to the top
of the tree.
