New Style

So since it is a new year and I have decided to change some things about my life, I have also decided to change my blogging style to more of a, you could say, "my life in pictures" sort of deal. Easier and more fun for me to do, less time consuming, and I still get to tell all about my life. I'm thinking maybe once a week, we'll see.

So here's some of what has happened since my last blog post:

I read The Perks of Being a Wallflower AND went to the movie at the Capital Theatre. They were both absolutely amazing! One of my favorite books, seriously. And the movie is definitely a keeper. One I plan to buy, and I only buy movies that I LOVE. I recommend reading and watching this if you haven't already. It's SO good. Love.







The Ask and the Answer is the second book in the Chaos Walking series. I read the first book quite a while ago and loved it. Post-apocalyptic books are my favorite and this one is pretty good if you like that genre. The second book picks up pretty much exactly where the first one left off and is rather different altogether. I still think the first book is better but this one was pretty good too.







I took all my finals, got pretty decent grades in all my classes, and signed up for next semester classes. I will be taking General Biology 2, Survey of Chemistry 1, Composition 1, Wellness, and Music Appreciation. A full load but I think I can handle it. I'm pretty much set; got my books all ordered and I start on Friday.




The Hobbit is seriously one of the best books I have ever read, and watching the movie gave me the chills. I can't wait to see what they do with the second one when they meet with Smaug. I'm not sure about the third movie, hopefully it's just as good. I have no complaints. It was.. magical :)







I started watching Supernatural and I am addicted to it. If you like ghost and demon hunting, watch it. It's suspenseful and surprising. I'm on the second season right now and it's really getting intense. There's a lot more story going on right now rather than just hunting and hunting and killing stuff. Super good.








Les Misérables was fantastic. I know a lot of people don't really like it because there's not much talking in it, but seriously people? If you were cultured at all you would know what to expect. It was fantastic, and I would like to see it again. I even got a little teary at the end. Beautiful movie.








I finished reading this book on New Year's Day. There was a lot of messed up stuff in here, but as I start the second book, I realize it's a lot more romantic than I was expecting. I thought I was like pure sex, which don't get me wrong, there was a lot, but there was a lot more story than I was expecting. I guess there has to be for there to be two more books.







The way Django turned out to be when I went to see it was completely unexpected. I was going to see a serious movie with lots of violence and such depicting what it was like in slavery times. The movie I went to however was totally not what I anticipated. This movie was rather hilarious to be blunt. I thought it was awesome, especially with the surprising humor. It was excellent; probably the only Tarantino movie I actually like, since the rest are not really my type of show. Go see it.

John and I just finished watching Season 6 of Dexter and holy nuggets was it intense. The very last moment was story changing. We kind of expected what happened, but SERIOUSLY! Intense. I knew it had to happen eventually though. No spoilers. Watch it yourself.








THIS show is addicting! It's pretty cool seeing all those storybook characters personified in this show. It keeps me wanting at the end of each episode. Now I'm just waiting for the mid-season break to get over with so I can continue and have something to watch again since all my shows are on a break for the holidays.








Lastly, this is the scarf I knitted for my friend for Christmas. I just got done with it so it's a little late, but I finished it all the same. The candy corn pattern is because she loves Halloween stuff so I thought I would make her a themed scarf. This is my second scarf ever so it was my first experiment with changing colors of yarn, which is a lot easier than everyone thinks. I also decided last minute to put the frills on the ends and I thought they turned out nicely. I'm pretty happy with this. I hope she likes it too.
