I'm loving all of the studded shoe options lately, here's a few of my favorites:
First, I was supposed to move to the country - not too far from where I live now, which is where I've spent my whole life. I'm a city girl, it seemed like an odd change for me.
Now, the plan is my boyfriend and I move up to where he's from - Rochester, New York. I like the idea. I'm looking for a change of scenery - new places, new people, new experiences..
I'm excited. And scared.
But it'll be fun...
I just need to make sure I have a ton of photos of my current city before we move on up there. I do know I'm going to miss home. I have family, friends, memories, hell - my whole life here, and I'll miss some things.
The big step now is saving for it and making sure I tie up any loose ends I have here.
Today I ended up at the Sims 2 website, noticing they have this Halloween Showcase 2008 contest going on. I've never tried to make sims or clothing or furniture or, well, much of anything Sims-related, so I won't be entering - but I did enjoy viewing the entries.
I've been playing The Sims since the day the original Sims game was released, and bought Sims 2 on its release date as well. At this point, in the only neighborhood I play - Pleasantview in Sims 2 - I have around 400 sims. I know, it's ridiculous!
So anyway, I'm kind of in the Halloween spirit but I don't celebrate holidays much, so I'm planning this silly Halloween party at one of my sim's houses. :) I just kinda got inspired by the entries, especially the stories - maybe I'll post something on the website.
Found some adorable bags online.. all from Bennie and Olive. I want the second, but I keep reminding myself I don't really need it! Maybe some other time.
Here's Mila Kunis looking absolutely gorgeous at the Max Payne premiere. Her hair and makeup is so pretty, and the overall look is ethereal and glamorous. I want that dress!

Ugh, couldn't take the old layout anymore. I like this new, simple one way better. :)
Since I've started watching True Blood on HBO, I figured I'd go ahead and read the series by Charlaine Harris, especially considering I know someone who owns all of the books. They're actually really good. Well-written, and way better than I expected. The television series had me thinking the books were going to be excessively laced with sex, but that's not the case - apparently the storyline has just been sexed up a bit for HBO's pleasure. Not my favorite approach, but I'll deal.
Also, state fair next week! My boyfriend and I are going either Tuesday or Wednesday, and I'm quite definitely looking forward to it. Cotton candy, funnel cake, exhibits, pig racing, parade and a light show.. how exciting! Well, sort of. I've only gone about every year since I was little.
I watched Factory Girl last night just because it came on tv and I sort of like Sienna Miller. I've barely seen her act, but I do enjoy the crazy outfits she leaves her house in. Didn't care for the movie much, though.
I created an account at 43 Things just a few days ago, and made it a point to finish this goal the same night I read it. I think it's easy to feel kinda down on life sometimes, and when that happens, it'd be pretty sweet to have a list of reminders as to why life is worth living. The night I worked on it my personal list ended at number 231, but it's far from finished - partially because I was inspired about a week ago when my boyfriend and I took a trip to Barnes and Noble and found this book, "14,000 Things to be Happy About" by Barbara Ann Kipfer. My personal list is longer, growing, and more detailed, while this list is shorter and only includes things that I'm okay sharing with the public.
So, here's my list of 100 things that make me happy:
Okay, maybe I'll finally learn my lesson. Or admit I have a problem. Or whatever. This morning I woke up, already kinda groggy feeling, and immediately went to the kitchen to brew coffee. Three cups later, I'm not feeling at all better. I don't really feel more awake, in fact a nap sounds pretty good right about now. Damn coffee! Everything's better in moderation, right? Right.
In other news, I'm seriously in love with my boyfriend. He does, however, spend so much time on that damn game Spore that he ends up ignoring me. For the past week, I've taken second place to a video game. I realize it's cool and you can create your own race from a single cell, awarding them with the power to destroy all other races and eventually take over planets.. yeah, but I'm his girlfriend. I at least deserve a few minutes or an hour or something out of his day where he could pay attention to me instead of the plundering and whatever he does in his virtual reality.
I'm a gamer, so I do get it. I understand that when you buy a new game it can have the ability (if it's that good) to take over your life a bit, and eventually you come down off of it and make your way back into reality. It's just obnoxious when he's sitting next to me on his computer, or I get up and do something and he's still on the computer, and at some point I'm trying to chat with him and he's too distracted, but then later he wants to show me his newest creation and I'm supposed to believe it's amazing.
SPORE RUINS LIVES.
Okay, maybe that's a bit dramatic just blaming Spore. Video games, or anything else that's borderline obsession.. that kind of stuff can temporarily "ruin" lives, or make a life feel like it's on hold, or someone else feel like they never get any attention (hey, I'm like anyone else - I really do enjoy attention every now and then). I just can't wait until he gets over this whole "I have a new awesome video game" phase thing. I will admit though, that his creatures are cute and they do keep getting more adorable.
