Okay, chillens. I'm going to be Effie Trinket for Halloween, and as we all know, she's always impeccably color coordinated. However, I'm just not sure which color I should coordinate. Pleeeeeease vote on the poll sandwiched between the picture of the lovely lady herself and the equally lovely Miss Taylor Swift in my sidebar so I can know which one would be the best. Pretty pleeeeeeease with a cherry on top? Thank you.

The most frightening holiday of the year is here, and I still have only a rough idea of what my costume is going to be. I think I'll be a Capitol citizen, but except for the makeup and hair, I'm still not entirely sure what to wear. Clueless? Sure. Unprepared? Maybe. In need of help? Yes. So, I am relying on you, my few faithful readers to tell me what the best clothes to wear would be while imitating a Capitol citizen. Please?

Pretty please?

Thank you.

My new personal motto. Of course, it doesn't mean that I'll entirely screw up my life, but what I think it means is to learn to laugh at your failures, and not let them drag you down. Yay for inspirational quotes found on Google! They can change lives.

The Shades of Autumn

 

 

 

 

 

 

The most wonderful season of the year is here...

And I'm so excited.

The air's getting chilly...

The leaves are turning pretty colors...

The wind is ruffling the leaves in the trees...

Everything's clean, crisp, and gorgeous...

And one of the most wonderful holidays ever is nearly here.

BOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

 

Did I scare you?

Good.

It's Tonight...

Dun dun dun. Actually, I'm rather (understatement) excited. Because...

San Francisco is TONIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Haha. I made you scroll. If the suspense killed you, please accept my condolences, and you will find a lovely bouquet of flowers at your funeral.

Oops.

I realized that I didn't do anything inspiring in my last post. For those of you for whom the guy with the pencil picture was insufficiently inspiring, let Color Me Katie be an inspiration to you all by way of creativity and service. Do me a favor and click on the link. The world could use more happiness.

 

Late Friday Favorites

1. I had my birthday on Tuesday. I posted about my amazingly fabulous day earlier. Happy reading!

2. It was fun wearing my new shoes and clothes all week. I got a lot of compliments, and it was fun being able to mix and match.

3. I ate a lot of sugary things this week. It was true bliss.

4.  I have fabulous friends who love to have fun as much as I do.

5. I love finding random pictures on Google. It's fabulous.

6. I love guys that will lend you their pencil the second you make a comment that you can't find yours.

 

      7. I love Enes Kanter's biceps.

    

8. I went to an International Cinema movie with my friends on Friday. It was really fun.

 

9. My family went out yesterday after watching General Conference. We ate lunch and dinner at Whole Foods, my mom's favorite nutty, hippie organic store that has surprisingly good food and a wide buffet selection. Then, we went to the Utah Jazz scrimmage in between. It was super fun, and the Jazz Bear was absolutely hilarious. Sadly, we had to leave a little early to get home and eat dinner on time, so I had to be torn away from Enes Kanter's biceps. He's really beefed up, by the way. He's really buff. Unlike in the picture two above... Sorry, where was I? Oh, yes.

 

10. I love Color Me Katie. My friend's been following it, and I just recently discovered it. I'm hooked. She's so creative, it's crazy. 

 

11. I love crazy socks.

 

12. I love colored bubbles.

 

The End.

3 days to San Francisco!!!

 

Oh, yeah.

5 days until San Francisco!

Birthday!

Yes, I know it was several days ago. I'm an awful blogger. You can read my mom's account here. Now, time for mine.
I woke up and had no idea what to wear. Nada. You could hear the wind blowing between my ears. I found something eventually, though. I went upstairs to discover that the kitchen had been decorated in my honor. I got to school, on time, luckily. However, I was carrying a jacket, textbooks and things, and a project. I had my arms completely full. I went to Math. It wasn't so bad, except my lovely, considerate friend notified the entire class that it was my birthday. Luckily, they didn't sing, but only because they were so busy being horrified that I was only turning 14. The boys, mostly. I successfully escaped out of tune singing for one period. Then, I went to Biology, where I had a giant bug project due that day. I had a mild freakout. Then, my other friend alerted the whole class of my birthday. Lovely. Luckily, no one in there knew me enough to care, so no singing. Two down, two to go. I went to the next period, where I managed to convince my friends not to tell anyone. I needn't have worried, though. I happened to have a giant test that required complete silence. Three down, one to go. Oh, and lunch. When I got to lunch, I was pounced on by a bunch of well-meaning, excited friends in a celebratory mood. Everyone was there except one person, who emerged from the parking lot twenty minutes later singing 'Happy Birthday' very loudly. I didn't mind, though, because she brought me a giant chocolate Jamba Juice. It was delicious. Thankfully, I didn't have any friends in my last period, English. I did have a quiz, though. Ugh. But I survived with high honors. Then, I got home and had cake and ice-cream with family and opened presents. Read my mom's account to see what I got. I'm too lazy to type anymore. What can I say? It's Friday.

7 days until San Francisco!!!!
