Inside Kimmy's Mind

Firstly, I just want to take the time and thank my fellow bloggers for reading and commenting on my blog. I really appreciate every comment. 😀

And I’ve found some fascinating new blogs to read as well. So win win! So its always good to add your blog url when commenting.  I feel as though there aren’t enough bloggers in the world. And I have yet to meet someone in person who openly confesses to blogging. I mean why wouldn’t you want to blog? I enjoy it. Once I meet someone new, I admit to blogging right off the bat in hopes they share the same pastime.  Sadly, they just look at me and nod. A lot of non-bloggers, see the act of blogging as just another spotlight the attention whores crave. But if you think about it, even the non-bloggers sort of blog in some way. Facebook and twitter is micro blogging is it not? They take the time to type out a sentence or two that documents the day and display it for the world to see. They assume the world cares what they have to say. Yet they mock us, who create more than a few sentences? Hypocritical if you ask me. I think all the dedicated bloggers are hidden away somewhere. But I’m happy to have found such an accepting community with like minded people. So again, I thank you. 😀

So onto daily outfit. This is what I wore on Monday and I actually really love this outfit. I’ve mention before that I don’t always feel pretty. So when I do, I like to take a bunch of pictures to prove that I can. This is another new combination of layers that I’m proud of. Everything matches so well. I’m a bit of a match freak thanks to my sister Mija but I’m not complaining. It was programed in me when I was little so I can’t actually help it. XD The green dress was actually a bit longer but I shortened it because the length was a bit awkward. This is actually shorter than a dress, so I’m wearing some shorts underneath. I even do so when the dress is actually long enough. Layers are actually a security blanket for me. The more layers the better. The tights I’m wearing are actually my favorite. I bought them a year or two ago at Target. I’m really loving this mint green, its featured in the cardigan, the tights, the purse (also from Target a few years back) and even my nail polish. I knitted an olive green bow for my hair, I’m in love with making hair accessories. And bows are just so fun to use/make. 😀 My hair is in a bun, I used a sock to create the perfect bun. Of course in person its a massive bun. I have a ton of hair and its hard to get my hair to cooperate with the me but I managed to get it to work. It takes some practice to get the sock bun down and I’m getting there. My younger sister, Kat discovered the sock bun and showed me how to do it. I’m still surprised I managed to do it.

So I packed some rice balls for lunch the other day. They made for a great picture, but they weren’t exactly very filling. So I think I’ll stick with my sandwiches for now. But I did have fun adding faces to the picture. Look how cute? I wish I could pack a cute bento, but my culinary skills are nonexistent. So I wouldn’t be able to be put something as beautiful and yummy together like some can. Besides, I have to keep in mind what will keep throughout the day. I carry my bento with me around campus, there is no locker or fridge to hold my personal items. I’m not Sailor Moon, I don’t have an invisible pocket that holds the moon scepter. So I have to make sure it won’t go bad or make my bag smell horrible. So tuna or mayonnaise product is out of the question. Its just good ole’ Pb&J for me. Of course, I like to cut my sandwiches into butterflies or hearts. It reminds me of my mom. >.< And it makes it brings a smile to my face when I go to eat my heart shaped sandwich.

Well it appears that I have stayed up way past my bed time. Blast! I should really get to sleep. I have a late day tomorrow. :/

I’ll end the post with this, do you have any other ideas of what I could pack for lunch? Something easy? lol

So I the other day was the first day of the new semester. And I was almost late. >.<

I just haven’t gotten used to sleeping early, I don’t know how I’m going to do it once I start having hw deadlines. I’m taking 3 English classes this semester…suicide I know. But this just means I really have to manage my time better this semester. And work out a schedule so I can get all of my writing done. I hope I have time to work for GC this semester as well.  But I can’t even get my sleep back on track. Its 2:51 AM and I’m still up…straightening  my hair/blogging. :/ Not a great way to start off the first week of the semester but its a force of habit…and its going to take awhile for me to break this habit. So Tuesday started with Math at 1:00-note to self leave home at 11:20 to avoid being late. >.< But thankfully I arrived just in time. I have to take two buses to get to campus and I miscalculated a little. :I Anyway, I couldn’t decide what to wear to school. I kept changing outfits which is another  reason I slept late. >.< I finally went with this outfit pictured to the right. I had trouble finding an outfit to match my new boots.  But luckily, I managed to find something to match. And I’m actually proud of myself. The jacket actually matches the boots and it goes well the blue shirt and brown tights. I paired it with my Star Wars bag and voilà – a nice outfit. 😀 I also braided a ribbon in my hair following this video. You can’t really see it too well in the picture but I’m sure I’ll wear it again and take better pictures of it.  Ok need to hurry and finish this entry fast. Next up is soda- I hate drinking sodas. I don’t like the feeling it leaves as you gulp it down. When I think of quenching my thirst I think of water…or lemonade. But recently I’ve been drinking a soda here and there. It started with a vodka soda and branched off to raspberry Smirnoff’s. But its not limited to alcoholic beverages. Oh not at all…hehehe . I’ve actually fallen in love with the soda Izze.  I have this weird obsession with glass bottles. I dunno why? But I’m fascinated by them and find them pretty. XD So I bought an Izze soda today to break a 10 so I could put more money on my bus pass.  I don’t want to get in the habit of drinking soda because its not good for you. And I’m happy with just drinking water all the time. I don’t know why so many people hate water. My little sister hates drinking water, I guess its too boring for her. But its the same for me when it comes to milk. I can’t stand drinking milk. Minus chocolate milk and the milk in my cereal bowl. But straight milk? Blech.  But anyway its already late and I should go to sleep now. I have 2 classes later today and I don’t get home until 7:00 tonight. I hate late classes…but at least its not on Saturday. Don’t ever take a Saturday class you will just die a little inside.

Do you like drinking fruity drinks because they are pretty as well? Or am I just crazy? O.o

I’ve never been a fan of coffee. But like many, I do enjoy the smell of it.

Once it finally gets cold here in Texas I always wish I could just snuggle up with a good book and a nice cup of something warm. I’ve tried hot chocolate, I can’t stand the smell of it nor do I like marshmallows (unless its a rice crispy treat). And even though I enjoy the smell of coffee, I just don’t like it. So now I’m left without a drink to enjoy during the winter.

Except wait!! There is tea.

Now I like sweet things, and tea is very bitter so I’m trying to find more ways to make tea more…acceptable. I enjoy a cup of raspberry tea as long as I dump a whole lot of sugar in it. Side note- How cute is this tea pot and tea cup? Too cute. My mom gave me this white tea pot and I adore it. The cup is my younger sister’s, she bought it from F.i.t. Its heart shaped and since its white I thought it would match the pot. And make for a cute picture. 😀 But I still haven’t found the right amount, sometimes I feel like I add too much and then the aftertaste isn’t very tasty. I’ve tried adding syrup and it sort of makes it somewhat yummy. But its still not the taste I’m looking for. What I really hope to find is a sweet tea that doesn’t need any added sugar. A tea that is already the right amount of sweet to satisfy my taste buds. But alas, I feel like my search will never end. Of course with Texas and its bipolar weather its not like I don’t have the time to discover this new tea. XD

So do you have any tips to make tea more sweet..besides adding loads of sugar to the pot? :9

It is Thursday morning. And my spring break is almost over.  I hate the feeling when something you like comes to an end.

I know I should make the most of things and enjoy it while it lasts but it is sort of hard to enjoy something when I know it is almost over. Its the same feeling I get when I’m on the last page of a really good book. I try to read really slowly just so I can have another day with it. I knew this week would go by in the blink of an eye, so this isn’t a surprise. Kat is here with us this week. We went to the Galleria on Saturday and Kat bought some outfits. She also bought me this great journal which I’m sure I’ve mentioned in a previous post. Its from the paperchase brand that I love so much. And the funny thing about it is that Mija noticed a flaw on the bottom right typewriter. A graphic screw up and now it bothers her. It makes me laugh, because I’m curious to know how this screw up occurred. They basically cut and copied a bit of the space bar and scooted it up to replace a missing key or something. But why the space bar? They could have just cut around another key and then used black as a shadow to cover around it or something. She also bought herself a small notebook from the same brand. Its so cute and it really suits her.  On Tuesday I took her on a small tour of my campus and then we had lunch with Mija and Jody at NRP. She really wanted to have the metro experience. We went on 4 buses that day which is the normal total of buses I take on a normal school day. She said it was fun, and it is fun when you have someone to ride it with you. But if you are going by yourself then its not so much as fun as …annoying. Especially when your bus decides to be late that day. But anyway, so after lunch Jody drove us to Berripop and Kat bought us some frozen yogurt. I am so addicted to this stuff and now so is Kat. Its been awhile since I’ve had a chance to enjoy some so that was a nice treat. Kat got watermelon with granola and kiwi and I chose strawberry yogurt with strawberries and cheesecake bits. :9 So yummy I’m craving it again.

So far the rest of the week we haven’t done anything besides sleep late and in. I have a 5 page essay I should be writing right now but I just want to lay down and be lazy. I wanted to go to F.I.T but I don’t think we will have time to go this week. -.- sucks. Also Saturday morning my dad is in a jeep show, he gets to show off Midnight to the community. I don’t remember the make I just know it is an older jeep that he bought and fixed up. Its his pride and joy, he has put a lot of time and money into fixing it up.  Ok so now I should start doing my homework or I’m gonna end up doing it last minute and its due on Tuesday.

TUESDAY!

I got to spend the entire day with Missy. She went with me to the student show, and then we went out to eat with my mom. She is so wonderful. Then Missy, Kat and I went to watch Kick-Ass. Such a good movie, Hit Girl was so freaking awesome. She should have been the main role because she made the movie amazing. Anyway, so hanging out with Missy was wonderful as always.

On Thursday my art class went to an art museum. I wasn’t allowed to take any pictures and I didn’t even take any outside or anything. Man I’m lazy. Oh and Missy met up with my class at the museum with her parents. I was so happy I thought I wasn’t going to see her because I made plans with my sister to pick me up after the museum. She had to go back to work so I went with her and then afterward she took me to Aka. It was sooooooo delicious. We ate California roll and black peppered beef cut sashimi style. And then we ate gyoza but I totally forgot to take a picture of that. And then we ordered a plate of teriyaki beef.  The portions were small but the perfect size. We also ordered a bowl of white rice which was perfect because if its your first time trying raw beef you want to eat it with rice so it can act as a shield when its in your mouth. Does that make sense? But it also compliments the beef. I can’t get over how good it was. I love sushi. After sushi we went back to her apartment and I fell asleep. Then she so kindly woke me up, even though I was extremely tired, to go over Jody’s house to play Left 4 Dead 2. Then they showed me Little Big Planet. So fucking cute. I am totally going to make my own little sack person. I just need to find the right fabric.

Bulletproof by La Roux (I find her oddly attractive)

And the next song is from a Little Big Planet level. My Patch by Jim Noir (Such a cute song)

The past few weeks have flown by extremely quickly. Time is not its normal self, too much fun I guess. Damn time for knowing when I am having fun in order to speed up. Cheeky bastard, is what time is.

This is my third week with Mija and I have done nothing but sleep late and play around with Tomo. Oh and read. Tons of reading has taken place since I have been out of school. Since I have decided not to take classes this coming month I am able to relax and not worry about the upcoming semester. Granted I will most likely have to worry about it in July, and if not then in August when I have no choice but to take classes. Sigh. I rather like not having to worry about assignments and getting to class on time and walking to class. I know these things are difficult and I have it easy compared to others and I do not have the right to complain. But I’m sorry, bitching is one of the main things I am known for. o.O I know, and this isn’t something I am proud of. Its just something I have a hard time controlling. lol Anyway, the other day Mija took me for frozen yogurt at Berripop. It was so yummy, I had the chance to get three toppings, and I must say there was unusual choices. After picking the Acai Berry flavor I of course chose the common toppings of granola and strawberries to follow. However, choice number three was… cheesecake bits. I have never had cheesecake bits as a topping before. But it was delicious. Mija picked the Berripop original flavor which was like a vanilla sort of flavor. Followed by granola and blueberries and strawberries to top it all off. I hope the next time to get a larger cup. >_<

Mija also took me to Potbelly for dinner the day before. And I must say the sandwich that I devoured that evening was extremely delicious. I ate a chicken salad sandwich and she ate a ham and cheese. I have never enjoyed a chicken salad sandwich as much as this one before. It was so good that there is no point in even attempting to describe how good it was. Yes it was that good. Just take my word for it. After coming eating we came back to the apartment to call mom and dad. However calling isn’t enough, so we decided to video call mom. Dad was a little hyper (aka drunk) he wouldn’t sit down and have a normal conversation with us. Instead he would get extremely close to the camera or get distracted by himself in the screen. lol I love my dad. And what you are about to see as you scroll down is something I could possibly get grounded for all eternity for posting on the internet. But resistance is futile. So here are two pictures that I screened cap from the video conversation with my family back at home. Just click on it to get the full picture. I swear my dad is so funny. He is also extremely ADD but you got to love him.

I have stayed up all night and have yet gone to sleep. What have I been doing? Well if you must know I am attempting to make a layout. I hopefully will have it finished soon so Mija can code it and it will be for all to see. It is a layout for this site. And what is going to happen to it is, I am going to have all the links to all of my social networking sites all in one spot. For example: Facebook, Youtube, Dailybooth, Twitter, and of course my blog. So instead of giving people individual links I can give them the url to this page and they will be able to find everything I do on the internet with the slightest of ease. Pretty clever I think. Hopefully it will be done soon. I am also working on a layout for my live journal because it is time for a change. Along with making layouts in the dark of night, well in the early morning really I also had the chance to watch the mini series Lost in Austen. It was so funny.

I wonder what Jane Austen would have thought of it if she had the chance to watch it. Would she laugh? Or be offended by what they did to her story? In my opinion it was good. But thats just me.

I remain creatively stumped. I have no idea what to paint on my Munny, I want to go on a book overload, and I need to make a vlog as well using what I filmed at Domy Books. But in the mean time here are some pictures of the store that I have yet to share.

I don’t want to talk too much about this store because then I won’t leave anything for my vlog. Just know it is a kick ass store made of awesome. With the minor exception its awesomeness is fucking expensive. But oh well I still find it amazing.Ok so I spent the past two weeks with my sister Mija and I had fun. She wants me to come back for a third week. Awww I must be so awesome that she just can’t ever get tired of me. So I said why not. I changed my mind about going to classes this month. So I now have an actual summer vacation. Sigh. I’m such a bad student. I might go to classes during the Summer II semester. Anyway, I think I spoiled her by staying for the second week and now she doesn’t want to be alone at her place. lol I don’t mind staying at her place, I mean I’m not bored or anything. I’m just homesick. At least I know that when the time comes for me to actually move in with her we will be able to actually live under the same roof together. Well the other day she bought some sushi for us and we made chow mein. It was so yummy. Of course Tomo (her pet cat) was a curious weirdo and wanted to investigate the sushi. Like he would like it, he is a weird cat. Not at all like my cat Mister. He would eat anything. A regular walking, breathing, eating machine.

Speaking of noodles mom rented the movie The Ramen Girl starring Brittany Murphy the other day. And so we watched it when we came home on Saturday while eating ramen. The movie was cute, I’m just glad they took out a bunch of unnecessary scenes. It would have changed my opinion of the movie. And her love interest? Sohee Park? Is such a cutie.

I wish Kathy would update more often without me having to tell her. I might as well go and bother her right now seeing as I will be gone for another week. hehehe ^_^

This car was parked near my school. I thought it was cool, so I took a picture of it on my way home yesterday. I’m not too sure why it was parked there. It was still there today. And I still don’t know why. lol Anyway, I am really sleepy. I know know you are probably thinking, “You are always sleepy.” This is true, however I’m also always hungry as well. My stomach kept growling today in English. But I was too tired to care if my monster of a stomach interrupted class. I am hungry still my tummy keeps yelling at me.

(FOOD BREAK) Mommy made banana pudding its so yummy. ^_^

Ok now that my stomach is somewhat full (it never really ever is) I can now have coherent thoughts. Math today was interesting and not because of math. I can’t wait to hang out with Missy tomorrow! She is going to pick me up from class tomorrow and we are going out to lunch. I can’t wait. I miss hanging out with her. That is probably the only thing I miss about high school. Friends. I miss seeing friends in between classes and just talking. Ok well I am debating whether or not I should bring my laptop to history later today. I have a case but now I sort of want just a sleeve for it so I can put it in my purse. But I think my bag will be too heavy so I’m going to have to carry it its case anyway. I really wish I had a car. Anyway I find taking my laptop to class interesting. I took it to my SciFi class on Monday but I didn’t really use it in that class. I might use it more in History but I can’t use the power point for some reason. I have power point on my new laptop. So I don’t know whats the deal. But it might be annoying for me to carry my laptop while I walk to my first class. I could always just not pack my plug to make the case less heavy. I mean my lappy is smaller than my last computer but its still pretty heavy. I’m not sure what to do. I’m so bad when it comes to deciding between things. Well I will see how I feel when I get up tomorrow.

I better go to sleep now. I have a headache. Bye

First discovery-Odd: Two mini vanilla ice cream cups stuck together. This is how I found them. I didn’t feel the sudden urge to take two ice cream cups and then proceed to smash them together and get some form of happiness. No I am happy because I love finding odd things such as this. I mean I’m not saying that my life is now complete, I’m just saying this brought a smile to my face. Follow by a little annoyance. Yes I am hypocritical. After I removed this discovery from the freezer, I made some effort to find out why it is like this. I later discovered that the bottom ice cream cup has no lid…..interesting. How could it not have a lid? I also found that there were others similar to this yet they were merely open a bit, yet they all had their own lids. Yes, I have made more effort than I should be. I then sat down and ate these two ice cream cups. Yes I am weird. Do not judge me.

Second discovery- More like I happened upon it: Now I’m not sure if you have had the chance to see these adorable chip commercials but you must. The one you need to see for sure is this one. I love this song.

Its by Anya Marina I think its entitled “Vertigo”

So Thursday, Mija took Kat and I to a Japaneses restaurant called Blue Fish, if I’m not mistaken. I have eaten sushi and chicken teriyaki before but not like this. It was delicious. I don’t usually like eating food that is uncooked like in sushi. But this avocado crap roll was ok. If you have eaten sushi before and you are not used to it, you know that its texture is…interesting. I’m not quite used to it. But I ate two and it was good. Kat only ate one she did not like it. lol. She made a face after putting it into her mouth and everything. You could tell she wasn’t too happy that she had to swallow it as well. But she did and I am proud that she didn’t spit it into her napkin.  Its strange because Mija hates seafood. She hates a lot of things. And I would never have thought she would be the one introducing us to different foods to broaden our food pallet. lol. But yeah she did. I also ate chicken teriyaki. It was so good. I pretty much love chicken any way you can prepare it. Kat had the pork teriyaki and Mija had beef. I wasn’t too keen on the pork  but the beef was good. It seemed like such a small portion but it filled us up. I hadn’t eaten any lunch only a few muffins so I was extremely hungry. But after chicken and sushi I was satisfied and didn’t anything after that.

I am behind a day in my chapters for Dooms Day Book but I don’t care. I will read as much as I can, and just bullshit it if I have to on Monday. Its really boring to me.  -_-
