Let me start by saying for my 16th birthday my friends bought me the following: Joshua Jackson poster, Joshua Jackson book, poster collage of magazine articles about Joshua Jackson, notebook collage of smaller items about Joshua Jackson. <i>I LOVE JOSHUA JACKSON</i>. My love for him > my love for Jason Mraz. Now do you see?<br />
<br />
The Dawson's Creek soundtrack is still in my car and occasionally makes an appearance. I will not apologize.<br />
<br />
Everything I learned about how I want a boy to kiss me (see above) I learned from Pacey Witter. There's a reason she picked him in the end. Look at it! Dawson is a whiny douche. Pacey is where its at. My love for this show is like the love I have for the first boy who really kissed me. It's all warm and fuzzy and nostalgic and teenage giggly. <br />
<br />
Dawson's Creek The Complete Series went on sale today and though I do not have $160 to spend so frivolously now, I will buy this eventually. And I will soak up every Joey and Pacey filled minute.Christinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03274757744986652182noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5538118993535283441.post-73045943446389303572009-11-09T11:04:00.000-08:002009-11-09T11:04:58.151-08:00wheeeeeeee!<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://imgfave.lg1x8z.simplecdn.net/image_cache/1235499344_585627734.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="282" src="http://imgfave.lg1x8z.simplecdn.net/image_cache/1235499344_585627734.jpg" width="320" /></a><br />

</div>My high school class organized a Facebook group to start planning our 10 year high school reunion. I had a few conversations about the past this weekend and in each conversation I said something like "I was just a stupid kid." Who am I kidding? I'm <i>still</i> a stupid kid! It is just all one big game of pretend.

November is National Blog Posting Month! We are already 2 days behind. Rae, let's get our act together! I'll start. <br />
<br />
I am officially obsessed with Lush cosmetics. <br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.lushusa.com/shop/products/bath-shower/soap/snowcake">Snowcake Soap</a> makes my not only me, but my entire apartment smell almondy and delicious. <a href="http://www.lushusa.com/shop/products/face/cleansers/fresh-farmacy">Fresh Farmacy</a> cleanser has cleared my skin up in two days.<br />
<br />
Next stop: toner, moisturizer, and lip balm.<br />

Can I really just tie a ribbon around my foot before I put my flats on and have it look this cute? Will the ribbon actually stay as neat and tidy as it looks? It's so pretty and easy! But will it work in real life?Christinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03274757744986652182noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5538118993535283441.post-5184550022226694562009-10-05T06:54:00.000-07:002009-10-05T06:54:21.582-07:00virtual housewarming<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://a764.g.akamai.net/f/764/16742/1h/www.1800flowers.com/800f_assets/images/flowers/images/shop/catalog/13812z.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="420" src="http://a764.g.akamai.net/f/764/16742/1h/www.1800flowers.com/800f_assets/images/flowers/images/shop/catalog/13812z.jpg" width="382" /></a><br />

Happy Housewarming Rae! I had grand plans to send you these flowers and then I looked at my bank statement and came crashing back to reality. So, until my reality is more than a question mark, here are some virtual flowers to celebrate your new home. Yay fall!Christinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03274757744986652182noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5538118993535283441.post-34571302366403426972009-10-02T11:22:00.000-07:002009-10-02T11:22:50.684-07:00friday melodies<object height="344" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/vkQ-fIXXDfk&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xcfcfcf&hl=en&feature=player_embedded&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/vkQ-fIXXDfk&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xcfcfcf&hl=en&feature=player_embedded&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br />

These $200 leather over-the-knee boots are:<br />
<br />
1. Completely unsuitable for someone as height-challenged as myself.<br />
2. Completely unsuitable for someone as vegan as myself.<br />
3. Completely unsuitable for someone with a $0 boot budget.<br />
<br />
... but they sure are pretty.
