Aujourd'hui, c'est le 30 décembre.

As the new year approaches, I, like many others, convince myself to resolve my vices. While browsing Matador, I came across a new perfect New Year's resolution list; one hundred things, all attainable.
Cheers!

Oh how much I've got to say! I've just had no time to say it in.

Rewind to Christmas:
Twas fabulous if I do say so. Went to the movies with the best friend ans saw Black Swan. It was nothing at all as I'd imagined and completely bizarre, albeit brilliant. It's one of those films that messes with your head, which of course, I love.

After the movie, previously stated best friend made my day with an adorable peacoat.

Nothing too exciting has happened since Saturday aside from work work working, but I feel like I have so much more to say and I just can't find the words. Have you ever had the epiphany that everything is going to be okay? Yeah, this morning at five o'clock, I got that feeling while leaving work, and so far, it's stuck. I just feel so hopeful and calm and dare I say satisfied.

I'm ridiculously obsessed with this song.

It's more than just New York though, that inspires me. The whole idea of a city-life future is beyond electrifying. To me it represents a life full of passion, full of fun, full of desire and fulfillment. For me, it's the future.

Aujourd'hui est toujours le 20 décembre.

I felt like making a confessions blog, so here goes nothing.

1. I've never seen The Notebook (or most other cliché romantic movies you can think of).
2. I aspire to be someone who makes a noticeable impact on the world.
3. Being a workaholic is one of my greatest joys, and that worries me more than you can imagine.
4. I hate credit cards. Anything that involves me being in debt to someone scares the crap out of me.
5. I thoroughly enjoy networking. I've even done it at family reunions. 
6. I have a soft spot for vintage horror films.
7. Collecting indie and foreign films is enthralling.
8. Even though I grew up with everyone around me speaking Spanish, I still think French is easier.
9. When I grow up, I want to be a philanthropist.
10. My favorite word is 'convivial.'
11. I'll add more later.

I'm so glad I've convinced my girls to get blogs :D
But anyway, finally, yesterday, I got around to watching the film Milk, and let me just say, beyond spectacular.

You see, I'm one of those people who are extremely pro-gay rights (Celebration for the repeal of Don't Ask Don't Tell, anyone? Yus.) I mean, I knew Harvey Milk's story, but to see it brought to life like that was nothing short of brilliant. Truth be told, I don't think it would've been half as good without the cast it had. Sean Penn, James Franco, Emile Hirsch, Josh Brolin, Alison Pill, Lucas Grabeel, the list goes on. This movie is most definitely joining my movie collection sometime soon. If you haven't seen it, it's a must see.

A few quotes by Mr. Milk:
"Without hope, life is not worth living."
"Civil rights or civil war. Gay rights now."
"If you want real political power, try telling the truth for a change."

For the record, I just don't get all the LGBT hate. And I love debating about it [:

Aujourd'hui, c'est le 17 décembre.

On the outside, today wasn't much more than any other day, but on the inside, for some reason, it feels like oh so much more.

Aujourd'hui, c'est le 11 décembre.

What a day today has been. In both the fantastic and annoying senses. On a good note, I got into my top choice college! Hoorah. Mais, to my dismay I got dragged along to see Christmas lights D: I'm kind of a Grinch. I really hope I can learn to fake things in the future. Alas. Until later.

Aujourd'hui, c'est le 6 décembre.

I would just like to express my discontent concerning the gradual extinction of print sources in favor of virtual media.
That is all.

Aujourd'hui, c'est le 5 décembre.

Yesterday I had a conversation with a friend of mine's mother. I only spoke with her for a short time, but throughout the time, I could feel the endless love radiating from her. Though I make friends rather easily, she made me appreciate much more my really close friends. So here's to you guys.

Erica Benson.

I love the way you bust my ear drums at concerts and make fun of my blond moments.

Friends since '07.

Katie Crisler.

Thank you for always bringing me toothbrushes and being my partner in crime when we get lost.

Friends since '93.

Ella Temple.

I love all the crazy things we've gotten ourselves into and the fun times we have singing obnoxiously at the top of our lungs.

Friends since '07.

Aya Ajjawi.

I hate how adorable you are. I love our Fringlish conversations in every class we have together and our heart to heart while I attempt for Hänschen not to kill us.

Friends since '07.

Chelsea Partridge.

I'm so jealous of how far you'll go in life. You motivate me to make so much more of myself.

Friends since '07.

Taylor Basford.

Yes, you're a douche most of the time, but you're the closest thing I have to a best guy friend. Seriously I think you know more about me than anyone else. Not sure how we wound up this close, but it isn't a bad thing.

Friends since '07.

Aujourd'hui est toujours le 3 décembre.

Recently a good friend of mine created a blog. Perusing through the posts prompted me to appreciate one thing: the simplicities in life. So this blog is dedicated to the little things in life that make me happy.

• Glass coke bottles
• The smell of tea tree oil
• The smell of fresh Parmesan bread
• Hugging random people
• Realizing you can't live without certain people
• History
• City life
• Photography sprees with the girlfriends
• Reading the subtitles in foreign films

I'll add more as they come to mind.

Aujourd'hui, c'est le 3 décembre.

So let me lock a locket around your throat. I'll weigh you down, I'll watch you choke. You look so good in blue. Fall Out Boy in acoustic. The good stuff. Seriously, if you don't have this EP, go get it.

Aujourd'hui, c'est le 2 décembre.

Better start making reservations for 2018! Russia baby! And start saving for 2014 Brazil. Heck yeah. So stoked! Chillin with the beautiful people [:
