No freaking way...

You're Anne of Green Gables!
by L.M. Montgomery
Bright, chipper, vivid, but with the emotional fortitude of cottage cheese, you make quite an impression on everyone you meet. You're impulsive, rash, honest, and probably don't have a great relationship with your parents. People hurt your feelings constantly, but your brazen honestly doesn't exactly treat others with kid gloves. Ultimately, though, you win the hearts and minds of everyone that matters. You spell your name with an E and you want everyone to know about it.

I love Anne! She's always been a hero of mine, and Anne of Green Gables is one of my favorite books.

Speaking of books...

I also highly reccomend Yes Man, by Danny Wallace. I just finished reading it, and I loved it because it was funny, clever, and suprising. Plus, it was written by a quirky British guy, which satisfies the anglophile in me. AND, the main character totally reminded me of my favorite British Guy, which was even better. A little "tide-me-over" until Christmas. : ) Now, I'm on to a silly chick lit book called Weekend in Paris. Won't be as good as Yes Man, I'm pretty sure, but I can't imagine something that will be right now.

This bookcase has a few of my all time favorite books on it:

It includes: The Harry Potter Books, Phillip Pullman's His Dark Materials Trilogy, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, The Giver, The Outsiders, and some graphic novels. I have more books, but they are on other bookshelves. This pic is also another little glimpse of the re-arrangement my room has gone through lately.

And see that little envelope propped up against the side of the bookshelf? It's the Elsie prints I ordered. : ) Will find awesome frames for them, then hang them around this shelf. Yay.

What are your favorite books?

Tour of Mi Casa: Lovely Lazy Days

Things have been pretty lazy around here lately, at least for me. And the kitties.

It's been so nice to have some time off. It's well deserved and thoroughly enjoyed. The house has been enjoying it too. It's been getting all kinds of little special treatments. : )

Tour of Mi Casa: A spot of tea?

Tour of Mi Casa: This is My (new) Room!

I finally re-arranged my room the other day, and I love it! I'll post more pictures later, but for right now...

sshhhh...

I'm sleeping.

A Tour of Mi Casa: This is "My Fridge" (Entry #1)

On MTV's Cribs the stars always show you the insides of their fridges. There is almost always a large collection of unhealthy processed foods in there. I won't show you the inside of mine and Marissa's fridge because the outside is much more interesting. We've taken to "decorating" it lately.

From the top left corner, across:

1. The yellow paper with a sun moon combo drawn on it. Ceja drew it at work, then gave it to me. It's held up by magnets from Muse Picasso in Barcelona.
2. A pic of me, KayKay and Tiff taken just a week-ish before The Picture People closed for good. : (
3. Official Altar Boyz magnet I got free for taking a survey.
4. Schedule of classes at the gym. I decorated it with markers I got in my gift bag at Delaney's birthday

Bottom Left Corner, Across:

1. How I Met Your Mother ad from a magazine. It starts new again next week, and we cheered Neil Patrick Harris on tonight as he was nominated for an Emmy. You don't watch it? How is not watching How I Met Your Mother? Because watching it is awesome! Seriously, How I Met Your Mother is a fresh, awesome show. It reminds me of the first few years of Friends. Here is a legendary essay about it, it you're interested.
2. A pic of Mandy Moore from cool photo shoot in an old-ish issue of Jane Magazine. Various stars were supposed to spell their crimes out on boards as if they were taking mugshots. Mandy Moore's crime? "Singer of Candy." (a really silly, cheesey song.)
3. J and M magnets. Move in pressie from Marissa! J is fr Jaime and M is for Marissa, but JM is also my initials.
4. Pics from a party Christina Aguilera threw for her husband. I love her, and it looks like they are really having fun together! We like that her husband is dorky, but cute too. Page ripped out from a magazine.

Bottom:

1. Oliver's beer and wine tasting schedule. Held up with a martini magnet, for good measure.
