You know you have a true connection, and a deep and meaningful relationship, when you’re at the dinner table, just father and daughter dining together, and he’s the one that asks for Vampire Diaries. That’s how I know he’s my dad:)
Also, I want to fangirl for a moment and say the Divergent trailer is out! However, it’s left me totally disappointed:/ They messed everything up (my personal dislike of Shailene Woodly aside) If I hadn’t ready the books, the movie would be totally kick-butt. But I have, and the movie can’t even compare. On a hopeful note, they have also started filming A Fault In Our Stars and they better not screw that one up, or else. (Lastly, after watching Mortal Instruments last Saturday, I’ve now moved on to reading the books. All of them. I better watch it, my inner geek is showing.)

8.25.2013// Catching Up Is Fun To Do
After working my butt off this morning on college applications, I deserved a little break. That’s why, even though my supposed-to-be-650-word-essay was actually 968, I still went out and had some fun. One of my close friends came back from Bulgaria after being gone for 2 1/2 months this past Wednesday and we had some catching up to do. He invited another friend and myself for our usual weekend dinner and a movie. I had forgotten how much fun these guys are! WE talked about the most random things, but we always have a good time together. An we always end up laughing till our stomachs hurt! Afterwards, our movie of choice was the new Mortal Instruments: City of Bones. Now, I had heard mixed reviews about this and didn’t know what to think. People and reviews said the movie kinda blew, but the books were outstanding, and I watched an interview with the author and she made the plot line seem incredibly interesting. The verdict: I loved it! Though I cant ‘say the same for the guys. Besides the creepy undertones (those who have seen it will know what I mean, I don’t want to spoil it) I thought the story was genuinely well developed. However, the movie itself could have spent more time on actually clarifying the motives behind everything that was happening because I felt as if I missed some things that I otherwise would have understood had I read the book…I guess I know what I’m reading next!
The other exciting part o my day was, before I went out with the guys, I took a trip to the fabric store to pick up some things for a couple projects i have in mind. And I picked up these gems! Here I have fabric for a jean refashion, a long sleeve tee, and a light knit sweater, all for under $15! What a steal:) Currently working on ripping up a pair of old jeans…all in the name of fashion, of course;)
