Memorial Day Weekend

Hope everyone had a great 3-day memorial day weekend! I sure did.

Saturday was fun. SunnyD, Nikki, Maria, and I all went to the movies to see Night At the Museum 2. I really liked it. Not the greatest movie I've ever seen, but it was still charming and funny. And of course Ben Stiller was in it, so it's immediately ten times better than plenty of other movies :P I love Ben Stiller(in case you couldn't tell)

Anyway, after the movie, SunnyD had a job to fill as a probably very bored 3rd wheel while Maria had to spend time with her family, so Nikki and I had a little one-on-one bestie shopping day. I don't even remember when the last time it was just me and her! We see each other ALL the time, but there are always other people around. We had a lot of fun. First, we decided to try out the relatively new dollar store-we went a bit crazy("Ooh! Ooh! This is only a dollar?! Ooh, look at this! THEY HAVE YARN!") good times, good times. We spent the rest of the time at Borders(we stay there for hours on end-it's like my second home). We shared a big snickerdoodle and a yummy chocolate chip muffin, looked around nostalgicly in the kid's aisle, and gawked over all the things we would buy had we all the money in the world! It was really fun and we're planning on doing it again before Nikki has to leave for a while over the summer!

Speaking of Nikki, her b-day in about 5 days! I got her into Pullips and she's getting her first one for her birthday! We're both nerdily excited about it.

Sunday my family and I went down to visit my aunt in Wilmington. It was really fun! I played Rockband for the firs tiem(shocker!) and I loved it. Must it be expensive?

Not much else happened. I had fun, though!
Only 6 days until exams!!!!
Cannnot wait until summer.
That's it for now.
Love,
Alanna :D

P.S. Check out the creepy statue I saw. Not sure what it is. The theory so far is that it's a drunk guy being attacked by starfish. Check out the bird taking a crap on his head!

MEGA Awesome

These are freaking sweet! It I had $50, I'd SO buy them!

Happy Birthday Shela!!!

Sorry I can't make a big, elaborate post about how dear you are to m and how if it wasn't for you, most of the time, I'd be blogging into empty cyberspace, but I don't have much time. It's 6:15 A.M.
Anyway, I hope your 19th is awesome!!!
<3 Alanna

The Rumors are true...

and I am VERY jealous.
http://laineygossip.com/Selena_Gomez_sushi_date_with_Taylor_Lautner_.aspx?CatID=0&CelID=0
Still, I'll admit, these two are pretty damn adorable together! And I love Selena AND Taylor. I like them as a couple, but as always, I think Taylor belongs with me ;)

My Dinner

The setup

The Setup 2

Apparently the best guacamole ever(I don't like guacamole, so I wouldn't know, but my mom said it was the best she's ever had!)

Taco Meat!

Mexican Bean Salad!

I had to take pics for the project, so I thought I'd post them!

Wow, It's Been A VERY Long Time!!!

I am so sorry it's taken me this long to post. I've only got 11 days left until exams-only 15 days of school(and exam days are half days!) so my teachers have been cramming in all the work they can.I've been completely overloaded and so usually when the weekend comes, I just want to chill out and truthfully, blogging was one of the things I least wanted to do. But I got in the mood a little bit once I realized that I was being missed :P

In other news, I have this big end-of-the-year project for my foods class in which I have to cook a big 3-course meal for my family. I made it last night. Including shopping for the food, making it, and cleaning up, it took about 7 hours! My feet hurt from standing up that long once I was done. But it payed off because the dinner turned out pretty good!

So I found these super adorable dolls that are made in Japan. They're called Sonny Angels and their basically exactly like Kewpie dolls only way cheaper. And their eyes move. And they have little wings on their backs! Anyway, I really want one. There are several sizes:

• little cell phone charms
• Medium sized with the caps they're wearing attached(eyes don't move on these-they're cheaper, though)
• Medium sized with removable caps and moving eyes(more expensive, but this is the kind I want)
• And then large ones, like, baby doll sized(I think they're pretty rare)
  

Here are more pics if you want to see them


Yes, they are anatomically correct ;) But they're supposed to be babies, so I don't think it's sick, unlike my friends :P("Ew! What the hell is wrong with you?")

I was going to get one when I found some U2 tickets for only $60!!!It's my dream to see U2 live. I'm a CRAZED fan. So now I'm scraping up all the money I can get to buy those(but my neighbor might be able to get some for free*crosses fingers*)

I think I've made this clear before(though it's been a REALLY long time), but I really don't like Shakespeare. I admit, he was a talented dude. But I personally think he's a bit overrated. But I'm pretty sure I'm dyslexic(I still need to be tested for it) and having weird, old words mixed up(when my head mixes them up for me) is not easy.I literally have to read almost every line 6 times to understand it. Which is why my teacher's summaries and Spark Notes are by bffs at the moment.

I still haven't finished The Host yet, sorry! I've been meaning to get around to it(I might read it when I'm done with this), but I haven't had much motivation and/or time. But I promise you guys, when summer comes(not too far away) you will have a crazy amount of book reviews from me :P And if I don't remember, virtually kick me(unless I see you in person, then kick me-though I will kick you back, just a warning)

My photos are becoming slightly more popular on Flickr! Help me out, people, and check out my photostream if you haven't yet! While I've been slacking off on the blogging, I have been updating my Flickr a decent bit.
http://www.flickr.com/photos/dustytomatoes/
Before I go, here's the last of the updates:
What I'm listening to:" "Your Love" by The Outfield(AH-MAZING song!!! Great cover by Katy Perry, too!)
What I'm reading: For fun-nothing For school-finished To Kill a Mockingbird(on a scale of 1-10, it was a 6.5) and The Odyssey(I liked it-I'm into the whole gods and goddesses thing) and am now working on Romeo and Juliet, which as I mentioned earlier, sucks ass in my opinon -_-
Current Obsession: I've always loved Journey, but now they're like, ALL that I'm listening to, no joke. Oh, and I've always been thinking of creative ways to get James in trouble and/or possibly dead? Sounds mean, but he's been as complete asshole lately.
Current hate: James, duh!
Last thing I bought: Hm...I think it was Mother's day gifts.
Last Place I went: Besides school...the grocery store. How exciting, right?

Ok, I really gotta go now. I'll post more often now!

So Far Behind...

Wow, I have been SO busy in the past two weeks. I decided to check the blogs I'm following...I have 14 unread posts from Shela! I need to get on more often. Hopefully I'll have some time this weekend. Sorry to bore you all with my lack of posting!

Dave Matthews, Long Week, and Stuff

IT's been SUCH a long week. I went to the Dave Matthews concert with my dad on wednesday and had a BLAST! It was an amazing concert. And they played the new single that I LOVE LOVE LOVE. Here it is. Listen to the lyrics, they're INCREDIBLE.


This week has been so long. So many projects and stuff. And issues with certain people...

I just saw 17 Again-it was an awesome movie and is now one of my favorites!

Oh, and I'm reading To Kill a Mockingbird for English and loving it! I have some awesome quotes from it to post.

Hope you all have a great weekend!

Review: 17 Again

I just got back from seeing 17 Again! I LOVED IT!!! It was so hilarious. The casting was really good, the romance was lovely, it was super funny, and just overall awesome.
I used to like Zac Efron, but he turned into a douche for a couple years. But I saw him on the Ellen show and I started to like him a bit more. But this movie made me a fan. Seriously, he looked SO hot!!!!
Wow, I'm starting to gush. Just go see the movie, you won't regret it!

Favorite Twilight Scene

It took a while, but I finally decided what my favorite scene in Twilight was(the song definitely helps) Check it out:

The Ring

Here's the peace sign ring I was telling you all about a couple posts back. Isn't it cute? Unfortunately, I've lost the engagement ring I bought for myself :( It's gotta be somewhere, though. Hopefully it'll show up!

I'm Such a Nerd...

I just uploaded 157 pictures and it's only 1:00. I woke up at 9:30. And all of these pics are from 1 photoshoot with my doll. Sad, isn't it?

Running In Heels-Season 1

I first heard about this show on iTunes. The first episode was in the free section on the homepage. I decided to download it for the hell of it and actually really enjoyed it! I'm not usually into the super-dramatic reality TV, but this show's another one of my guilty pleasures ;)
It follows the lives of three interns at Marie Claire. Ashley(on the left) is a jealous freak that's not afraid to sabotage the others to get what she wants. Talita(middle) is the nicest in my opinion. Though I think her voice and peeing teacup dog is kind of annoying, she's not mean like the other two. Samantha(on the right) was the nicest of the 3 in the first episode, but turned into a major bitch somewhere along the way. She thinks she's better than everyone. There's a huge rivalry between she and Ashley especially, even though they all kind of hate each other. Talita seems to get along with Ashley, somehow, though in the last episode I watched, she and Sam ganged up together.
I really like Nina Garcia, former Project Runway judge and now the head of Marie Claire. She's very nice and she handles a lot. I also like Joanna Coles. She can be tough on the girls, but she gives them what they need to be successful and she also handles a LOT. She's kind of like Miranda from The Devil Wears Prada, except she isn't a devil. She also rewards the girls when they do something right, which I can appreciate.
Sergio Kletnoy is my favorite, though. I'm not exactly sure what he does, but he's super cute(in my opinion) and he's always causing trouble without trying to. He's always giving one of the girls an oppurtinuty the others don't get, like covering a fashion show or interview. It always creates some type of fued.
I've only seen two episodes, but I've DVRed a whole bunch that I need to watch before they get erased.
It's a half-hour long on the Style channel(not sure what time-check your TV guide). I suggest watching it some time.

Oh, and I did I mention all three of these bitchy girls have to share an apartment? Oh yeah, it's good ;)

So Much To Blog About...

Hope everyone's having a great Easter!
Spring Break is exactly what I needed. Even though it was cut two days short due to make-up for snow days, it still seemed pretty long.
On Wednesday, I went to a botanical garden(sounds nerdy) with my mom, siblings, and grandparents. I got a whole bunch of good flower pictures.
On Thursday, my brother and my grandparents and I went to the zoo. I saw the cutest animal ever-one that I'd never seen or even heard of-called a cacomistle. Here's a pic of the adorable little animal:
http://www.nywec.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/2008_0825002-300x225.jpg
Another animal I saw that's similar to a cacomistle was the coati. SOOOO CUTE! Here's a pic of one:
http://library.thinkquest.org/J0111181/coati.gif
Anyway, I had tons of fun at the zoo(you're never too old for animals!)

Friday was awesome. SunnyD, Sarah, Nikki, and I all went out to the mall. I just made $50 the day before and I planned to spend a little bit of it, but by the end of the day, I'd spent all but $2. It was soooo worth it though.

I got a pair of earrings from Light Years(they were only $11!!! That's crazy cheap!!!), a pair of aviator sunglasses from Icing along with a cute peace sign ring. Pics at the top of the post-I'm having issues moving them down here :( Oh, and I forgot to take a pic of the peace sign ring...oh well, I'll post one later!
After that, we got big hot pretzels-I got a buttered one with cheddar cheese dip. Yum :P
Sarah and Nikki wanted to go to Hot Topic and SunnyD and I usually feel weird and out of place there, so we split up, Sarah and Nikki to Hot Topic, me and Sunny to some sort of Bath&Body place(don't remember what it's called). We looked like homos. Lol, Sunny picked up a couple sampler bottles and said,"TRY ME!". Then we found these heavenly massager things, so we spent a couple minutes rubbing them up and down each other's backs(yeah, we definitely looked gay, but who cares?) And then Sunny had some SERIOUS issues pronoucning 'Brazil'. Lol, good times, good times. We had a bit of time left(or so we thought) before Nikki and Sarah would be done in Hot Topic, so Sunny and I wandered over to Hallmark and read passionate and inspirational cards to each other in strange accents. It's times like those that will remain in my mind forever.
Not much happened yesterday. I went to the farmer's market with my family and ended up freezing because I was wearing a t-shirt and short shorts in 60 degree weather(I know, my bad) Of course, I thought about bringing my sweatshirt, but I thought,"Nah. I won't need it." Stupid.
Today, I went to church, Bojangles, and then my grandparents came over and I ate WAY too much food. It was like Thanksgiving. I've slacked off majorly on eating healthy over the break. I've promised myself that I will eat healthy when school starts back up on tuesday. Ugh. Tuesday. The word makes me cringe.

What I'm Listening To Right Now: "Wordplay" by Jason Mraz(aka Mr.A-Z-I LOVE that-that boy's freakin amazing)
What I'm Reading: The Host by Stephenie Meyer(still-but it's gotten better-or at least given me more hope for a happy ending...however, I am at a kind of graphic part I wish I could un-read)
What I Watched Last: I watched a new episode of The Office that we had recorded from a couple nights ago last night. Hoping to watch Parks and Recreation, Amy Poehler's new show soon. My grandparents said it was disappointing, though. Hoping their wrong!
Latest Obsession: Finding ways to customize my dolls. What a nerd.

Well, that's it,hope everything's going well for everybody!
Happy Easter

461, Garden, Anna Faris, Adam Lambert, and My Possible New Story

Hey guys!

I'm going to start off by telling you my huge accomplishment-taking 461 pictures in a course of 2 days! I didn't even go anywhere...it's pretty crazy.

I went to a botanical garden today to take some pics of flowers! I got some really good pics that I'm hoping to post tonight on Flickr(if I'm not too lazy) Check in a couple hours and they might be up.

Have I mentioned how much I love Anna Faris? I recorded her on Jimmy Kimmel(who I also love) and I REALLY need to watch it. She's just such a good actor!

So I was watching American Idol last night. We had it recorded and our DVR is stupid as mess. American Idol went over by like, 2 minutes and Adam Lambert(basically, everyone's favorite contestant at the moment-who always does amazing)was up next. It cut it off and switched the channel. GRRRR. So i was really pissed. But, luckily, I was able to find it on youtube. It took a couple of tries, though. There were 3 videos of it. I clicked on two of them and both said,"Sorry, this video is not available in your country". SERIOUSLY, WTF? American Idol isn't available in AMERICA?! I also don't understand how they know which country you're in...or why certain videos aren't avaiable in your country...but I'm losing your interest. My point is that I finally found one. He performed "Mad World" by Tears For Fears, which is a great song, and, as always, he did an incredible job. Of course, now the video I watched isn't available anymore :( Sorry guys!

I came up with a story idea yesterday and it's been playing out in my head the majority of my conciousness today. I won't tell too much, but it's about a girl and boy who grow up as best friends on a farm. It takes it through their lives together and how people change as they grow up. I'm planning on having each chapter being told from one or the other's point of view. It'll make more sense later :P
I know, SunnyD and Nikki are probably mad at me for starting something new, but I've lost my passion for Grin and Bear It, and personally, I think all three of us have. We're kinda stuck at the moment, but we'll try to pick it up.

Anyway, spring break's going great so far! I'll post more later. TTYL!

Spring Break!

Hey, everyone!
Spring Break was supposed to start friday, but our county's stupid and took away 2 days of our spring break. Most people rebelled and ditched school, but there were the unlucky ones like me(who gets sick all the time and cannot afford to miss anymore school!) who had to go for the past two days. It wasn't too bad though. We did do much of anything and the school was SO EMPTY! There were a lot of people gone yesterday and TONS more gone today. About 1/3 of the school was there today. Our school is so overcrowded. Today was like, what normal schools' have!

Anyway, so this afternoon was the official start of my spring break. I'm hoping to go to the mall(haven't been in FOREVER) with my besties, but I'm not sure if anyone will be able to make it :(

I started reading The Host again and I was so excited because it was getting REALLY good and then it took an extremely terrible, disturbing turn and at the moment, I hate it, but I'm told that it'll get better, so I'm going to stick it out to the end(plus, I really want to find out what happens) I hate it when little parts ruin a whole book. :(

That's all for now! I'll post some more this week.

P.S. James has a stalker now! The stalker becomes the stalk-ee!

Wow, This is SO Funny!

Ok, I'm pretty sure that we've all heard/seen the video for "Jizz In My Pants" by The Lonely Island. If you haven't, watch it here:

I just found a Twilight version that's pretty well done. So funny! Enjoy!

Beautiful and Dirty Dirty Rich Rich

I love this song! I don't care what they say about Lady Gaga-I think she's awesome. Did anyone see her performance on American Idol? It was so weird, but cool. I like that she's not the same as all the other artists out there.
Anyway, check out this song,"Beautiful and Dirty Rich". I couldn't find the official video that would allow me to embed it, so here's one without the video. If you want to watch the video(it's not great, but it's ok) then here's the link:

Oh my god, I've been waiting for a shirtless Rob for soooooooo long!!
It was worth the wait. Now you may drool.

P.S. It hasn't been confirmed as to whether this is an official poster or fan-made, but it looks a lot like the one from my previous post(which was confirmed), so I'm assuming it is. Can't wait to see this poster plastered all over the place!

P.P.S. This is SO my new wallpaper....

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SUNNYD!!!!

Ok, so it's not actually her birthday for another 3.5 hours, but I don't know if I'll get around to posting this tomorrow, so I thought I'd do it now.
Happy Birthday, girl! Seriously, you are amazing, and though you drive me nuts occasionally, I still love you to death. Hope this is the best birthday ever!!!!!

<3
Alanna


P.S. Check out the pic above for added fun

Kristen Stewart: Blonde vs. Brunette

Kristen Stewart's freaking amazing either way, but which do you guys prefer-blonde Kristin or brunette Kristen(SunnyD, "no Kristen" is not a choice)
Me, I can't choose. I like her blonde, but she fits Bella perfectly brunette....

Thanks to Kristewartdaily.net!

FIRST OFFICIAL NEW MOON POSTER!!!

Looks like this one's going to be darker than the first. GRRREEAATTT.
Still, it's an awesome poster.

The Dark Knight

Ok, I'll probably be eaten alive for this, but I'm just giving my honest opinion. Turn around now if you are a Dark Knight fan.

My dad's and basically everyone else I know has been begging me to watch the movie forever. So I finally watched it with my parents last night. I will say one thing-the acting was incredible. I can see how Heath Ledger was tortured by playing the Joker-I would be.
I really hated the movie, though. I like movies that give you hope, but this was just all people pulling guns on each other and turning from bad to good guys. I actually got bored, so I left during the second half of the movie. My parents continued watching it. It was my mom's first time seeing it too and she said I was smart to have left. We both like happy endings, or at least some nice resolution. But there was none.
I'll also say that Christian Bale was extremely hot. I didn't used to think he was hot, but when he's moving, he's incredibly sexy. He's not too great in pictures, though. Good thing Synfan and I aren't friends anymore, she'd ridicule me to no end for changing my mind.
He looked AMAZING in the boat scene, where he went from partially-shirtless in a white button-down(he looked great in white) to totally shirtless and diving(nice muscles). I hated his voice when he was Batman, though.

Anyway, I really hated the movie, but that was just me. I can't understand why it's so popular, but I guess it's just the incredible acting.

I have a bad feeling that I'm going to regret posting this...

The Very Geeky Me

Ok, so since I got my dolls and especially since I started my Flickr account, I've become one of the biggest photog geeks you will ever meet. Seriously, I'm an addict, and I'm here to confess.
You know you're a super-geeky photographer when.....
1. Most of your outdoors life is spent looking through the digital screen on your camera.
2. You get excited because you were asked to join a group on Flickr(if you have an account, you know what I mean)
3. "Reading the newspaper" means mostly looking through Best Buy ads looking for cheap prices on cameras(even though I don't really want/need a new camera, I love mine, and I don't have enough money for one anyway)
4. You load up at least 30 pictures(most of the time, it's between 70-100, though) to your computer every other day.
5. When you're constantly looking at other pictures, wanting to put them into Flickr's editing program, Picnik, and effect the hell out of them.
6. When you get excited that someone favorited one of your pics.
7. When you're making lists like these and confessing to random people on the internet that you're a total freak.

I've said it plenty of times, and I'll say it again I'M CRAZY!!!

P.S. In case you want to check out my pics, here's the link to my Flickr(I would LOVE LOVE LOVE it if you checked them out:
