whelp

I haven't written in two weeks and thats partly because nothing much has been happening.

I come home, do homework, and then listen to music and think.

My mom says I need to be more creative and do things that will make colleges want me blah blah blah but sometimes (actually, alot of the time) that can be HARD. And sometimes I don't want to do hard stuff, sometimes I just want to lie in bed, swarmed by my blankets, listening to old music and soaking in the teenage angst.

Being the new kid is really hard, and I feel as if the other kids at school don't get that (even the ones that were new the previous years - like have they already forgotten the emptiness and loneliness of being new!??!).

ugh.

I'm going to try my best to update this blog more frequently because writing is being creative and so this counts for something.

That's all (sorry),

Things I've Been Liking:

Movies:
The Royal Tenenbaums - after constantly being recommended to watch this movie I finally took the plunge and liked it 10x more that I thought I would. The  organization and the colors of it all were aesthetically calming to me.
The Grand Budapest Hotel - After watching The Royal Tenenbaums I was eager for more Wes Anderson, and so I watched this for the first time and loved it a billion times over. I think what I really like about Wes' movies is that the story takes strange twists and turns that you never expect. 
Aquamarine - the last time I saw this movie I was probably 9 and at a sleepover, and yesterday we had off, so I decided to take a trip down memory lane. Its so bad that its good. The cheesiness is just overwhelming.

Music:  
Everybody Wants to Rule the World by Tears for Fears - this song just makes me feel all confident and hopeful and bubbly (and also like I'm in some kind of fall High School movie)(also I listened to the Lorde cover of this song expecting to love it, but it just was not for me at all. It just felt so wrong)
Love Lust by King Charles - top quality dancing around your room song.
1989 (Album) by Taylor Swift - Everything is so good.

Books:
Naked by David Sedaris - I've spent a few weeks reading this book, randomly picking it up here and there and reading an essay or two.
The Ruining by Anna Collomore- this book makes me so mad. I hate it, I hate it, I hate it. Yet I can't help but picking it up and rereading it every few months.
