ilovefilm
naomi

is it written in the stars?

i feel like i have something to write,
but i can't get it out.
and i keep having this feeling that everyone's going to come home,
then realize that i've still got like a week of partying *cough*
being good to do.
is there anything quite as awesome as josh groban?
exactly.
okay.
naomi

for always.

ohey,
i got my computer taken away from me.
i have it back now.
i love my computer, dear old frank.

i am going to bed now,
and sleeping til 1030

ten things i'll miss about the World Cup

1. Espana.
[I love them, the way they play, their jersey, their hair! okay, i was kidding about the last one (or not) but yeah, Spain=a m a z i n g soccer. True Story.]
2. Soccer, all day, everyday.
[First thing when I woke up in the morning, soccer. After lunch, soccer. At night, soccer highlights. WHAT.]
3. Vuvuzelas.
[You can shoot me for this one, but I do. I luz them. Mostly because they were kinda like (as Bill Simmons put it) Pavlov's dinner bell. when you hear the vuvu's, you k n o w. It's soccer time, baby! Now, i think when i hear a swarm of bees, i'm not going to run, i'm going to turn around and say "World Cup?"
then get stung.
but okay.]
4. U S A soccer!
[i feel like, now that they've had this kind of potential in the world cup, people might start caring. they may not, but okay.
it was quite the ride, and i enjoyed every stressful, last minute goal and terrible call that went on.
(rihanna song coming to mind)]
5. Uruguay.
[h e l l o, Diego Forlan.
but, really. what was more exciting than the URU-Ghana game? exactly. (yeah, i know, Landon Donovan's goal)]
6. Xabi Alonso.
[There are no words.
Because I can't explain why I became obsessed with him, but I did. yeah, i'm weird]
7. No Commercials!
[Self-Explanatory I think]
8. A Sweet Taste of Orange for the Netherlands!!!!
[(Welsey Sneijder was the only dutch player I liked. True Story)Youtube it, I would link it up, but Youtube is blocked on my computer. Hilarious. And it leads to my next point...]
9. The announcers.
[Hullo! The guy just described a goal for the Netherlands as a sweet taste of orange! how can you not like that? But, seriously. British people know how to talk, especially about soccer. They seemed to make every half-alright play elaborate and interesting. They could never use a simple word for anything! It was fun.]
10. THE GOSH DARN WORLD CUP.
[i love you, see you in Brazil]
naomi

one thing I won't miss: Germany. yeah.
one thing i prolly shouldve added:it's basically a buffet of cute guys.
but i didn't say that.
i like soccer.

[Title]

ESPANA
=
l e g i t

i better find your heart.

yeah, so . . .
i didn't read,
i didn't write,
i didn't even do something productive, like clean pictures off my computer!
nope,
last night,
i stayed up til 3,
staring at my computer,
doing nothing in particular,
and listening to this song (grooveshark is down, once again -.-) on repeat. true story.
i fail.
but whatever.
naomi

beating my heart.

i am tired.
my emotions won't let me sleep.
something about watching Hayao Miyazaki's Spirited Away,
ripped my heart out,
and made me want to bawl like a child.
the story
music
animation.
amazing.
maybe i'll read, i've already crossed three books off my list!
-Chains-A Wrinkle in Time-Impulse-
c h e c k.
they were a terrific start to my list, seeing as they were all amazingly written by amazing authors.
i'm working on a Tres Navarre at the moment. I figured, if I average about 4 books a week, ill finish by september.
so, im on one Tres Navarre and the Hobbit for the rest of the week.
i got some new clothes, so that i can get dressed everyday (which has been going quite well, actually). one of the skirts i got, when i took it out of the f21 bag, had a stain, so i need to take it back.
i also need some knee-length leggins, which seem very hard to come by. Is it really t h a t hard to come by some leggin shorts?
i don't know.
and grooveshark is down again.
whatever.
pandora it is!
i need to p s a t prep. like now.
maybe i'll write.
i need to get back to my characters,
theyre waiting.
should i sleep?
i almost feel like i can't.
maybe i'll just go to sleep.
probably not.

L I S T E N

other goals for the summer:

-be able to run the paint creek trail from Gallagher road to the library. like 4 miles? more hopefully.
-get dressed in the morning (this one needs some explanation, i'm sure. i'm quite infamous for getting up and throwing on either a pair of gym shorts or jeans and a t-shirt. i have quite a few pieces of a awesome clothing, and they need to be used more. so i think i should be able to put some stuff together. anyhow, i start next week. monday.)
-finish literature 4, which means finishing two more novels and a play. i can do that, i think.
-finish my reading list (d u h).
-write a substantial amount in elnovella. the e x a c t amount is yet to be determined.
-and just excersize more in general. in a run/walk-bike-other form of excersise/run pattern.
-prayers everyday.

and stuff like that.
you know.
on another note, i cleaned out both refrigerators today, and am both exhausted and feeling extremely productive.
i like the organazation.
naomi

something?

it smells like corn dogs in our house!

and now, i would really like one.

but iknow we're having spaghetti for dinner.

so...what to do n o w?

ohwhatever. -.-

i feel healthy! ive excersied everyday! (in the forms of one 8-mile bike ride, one 3 mile walk, one bowling+mileish long walk to fireworks, and one walk/run for at least 3 miles).

walking is extremely convient. 

but i'd rather run.

anyhow,

im being healthy, and reading my books, and being productive like no other this week. w h a t!

yeah, so.
