Something Peeptastic

Why, hello there. Long time no see. So I realize I've been gone for the past 4 or 5 days, and really I didn't mean to, it just happened and I just failed.

But anyways, I'm back! Hi!

So I was trying to log back onto my Blogger account, because normally my computer had all my passwords saved so I never have to actually remember them...but they all suddenly disappeared, so I actually spent about ten minutes trying to remember which e-mail I used, and then what password I used. Ugh! It was frustrating, but I created a new one that I hopefully won't forget (or hopefully won't have to anymore).

So looking for my inspiration for something to write, I did what my good friend Alex (link in the side bar --->) told me to do, and googled something. And so I also decided to google Peeps, like Alex also said, and guess what? The actually have their own website. I mean, an entire website dedicated to just Peeps. There are Easter Peeps, Valentine Peeps, Hallowe'en Peeps, and Holiday Peeps! They even have music! Which is awesome (the music itself AND the fact that they actually have music in the first place)!

It's sooo amazing, I haven't had much time to peruse it, because I finally found something to write about so...I just totally had to write about it. So because of this awesome, peeptastic thing that I found I need to part with the words said my my favourite Nerdfighters:

Woo, Let's Google!

Wow, I'm so early in posting today. But it's only because I won't be here tonight because it's my friends 16th birthday part today! Woo! I am currently getting ready for said party. I have so much stuff to do, and I was really overwhelmed about it. But all of a sudden it's two hours later and I'm basically done! another Woo! for that.

Well I found this really cool quote type thing yesterday. It's in "Latin" and it's "Nolite te bastardes carborundorum" which is suppose to mean "don't let the bastards get you down". What interesting about this quote though, and the reason I put "Latin" in quotations is because it's not real Latin. Which now sounds stupid, but it's actually called faux Latin, it can be used but its not gramatically correct.

I googled it and learned all this stuff. Like carborundorum is not an actual Latin word but is actually the name of a mineral which is extremely hard and used for grinding. And it is actually a blened form of the words carbon (from Latin) and corundum (from Tamil). Wow, I love Google and Wikipedia, you can learn so much from them.

I actually love google. I google like everything. Like when I'm reading and I don't know what something means, or I want to know what something looks like I automatically go to google. I guess I'm a very involved reader.

Hopefull I won't forget to blog (like Tuesaday) tomorrow when I get back.

P.S. I still like that quote, even if it isn't actually real.

*sigh* wish that would happen

Fail

So, I think I had a pretty epic topic yesterday. But today, it seems I'm having problems. That's why I'm doing this so late. Also, I'm really not in the mood to write right now. *sigh* Lets see, lets see...what can I talk about today? Hmm...

Well I guess I could talk about my "secret project". Which actually isn't that awesome, except for the fact that I haven't failed yet, it's not finished though.

So what I'm doing is re-creating a pair of old jeans that I found in my drawers. They were really big on me, and baggy and stuff. So I made them into skinny's by hand sewing, which took a while. I advise using a sewing machine if you can, it's less hard work. They look pretty cool, so far. I can wear them and they actually look pretty natural and normal.

Now what I'm gonna do is distress them (this is the part I'm worried I'll mess up one) and then I'm also gonna try to cut the waist band off. I'm cutting the waist band off because they're really high waist-ed, and really ugly if you wear a shorter shirt. So, yeah. It's still a work in process but it's happening.

Wish me luck for the end result!

Hello, my name is...

Hello, my name is Brianne, and I'm a shopping addict.

all together now: "Hi, Brianne"

So I think this is where I confess (and I challenge all you other closeted addicts, for the addiction of your choosing, to do the same during the span of BEDA)

So I really realized this today when I went shopping for birthday presents. And my mother and I were walking on our way to a certain store when we passed by Bryan's, they we having a sale. So my mom asked me if I wanted to take a look, and of course it's a closing down sale where everything is 50% off so I'm eager to check it out. But than I do tell myself, okay you came to the mall for a reason, and that reason was not for you. And honestly I didn't expect to find anything...but then I ended up walking out of the store with two shirts, that are actually amazing.

I've got a problem. I think I blame it on my mom, because whenever she sees a sale she encourages me to take a look for some good deals, and I normally end up buying one or two things. I have a few confessions I'd like to share, they're a little sporadic in timing but they are all true:
  • Around the time of February, I couldn't go out shopping where I didn't end up walking out with a pair of shoes, that usually happened to be...you guessed it, on sale.
  • Last time Byran's had a sale I walked out with not one, but two dresses that I now need places to wear.
  • When in Wet Seal in the states I bought another dress...that I also need a place to wear.
  • While in Costa Rica I also bought a dress, but this time I only have to wait till summer to wear it again.
  • My mom and I went shopping for about two pairs of shorts and a few more light weight tops before going to Costa Rica. I ended up with 3 shorts/capris, 3 tank tops, 1 nicer tank top like shirt, and 2 graphic t-shirts. Wow!
  • And then today, where I got 2 more tops when I was supposed to be birthday present shopping (which I did complete, btw).
I'm sure there are more, but you get the jist of it. I did make a deal with my mother though today. Because, honestly, I hate it when she buys stuff for me because I don't want her spending tons of money. So I bought the birthday presents while my mom bought my top for me. Good deal, because the presents were more expensive. But that's exactly why I want a job, so my mother doesn't have to buy these things for me, and I can buy whatever I like. Win, win.

I also find that I should be lucky my parents aren't stinking rich and don't have an end to their budget (though it would be awesome) I would be spoiled rotten (more then I am already).

My name is Brianne, and I need help.

P.S. lol :P

I'm really liking the Dr. Seuss quotes lately, so I'm gonna have some fun with that for a while.

"I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, It's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope. Which is what I do, And that enables you to laugh at life's realities." ~ Dr. Seuss
