Cherish here!
Guys, you're not going to believe this, but I've turned into a scrapbooking master! Truly! I was up until four last night (or perhaps this morning, I'm never sure how to word that) working on a scrapbook that is both a birthday present and going away present for my wonderful boyfriend of two years. He's heading off to Utah State University in a few weeks. Anyway, we can be sad talking about that or really excited about how much he is going to love the scrapbook! Which is a lot!
Anyway, I've stayed up until four in the morning for the past two days and it feels like my brain is running on dial-up (ha ha that's a computer joke for you nerds out there!) I figured something out though. Late at night is when you can really get clever and creative. Provided you've had half an energy drink and some company. But oh boy. It's hard work though, this scrapbooking. I don't understand how people can do this as a hobby, it's so much work and so stressful. My buddy Kimmy was helping keep me awake and focused (between Just
Dance breaks) said that most people who scrapbook make a page a week, or at least every couple of days. But guys! You're not getting anything accomplished! I whipped up thirty something pages in two days! That's love, my dear, if you read this. That's love.
Anyway, it looks amazing which is saying something because I'm not a fantastically crafty person. I can make a mean friendship bracelet but that's about it. Yes sir. Actually, I make a damn good friendship bracelet. I've decided to add the phrase "hot damn!" to my vernacular. With an exclamation point. Riley doesn't think I pull it off, but he's wrong. I pull it off quite well. I'm getting off topic.
So! I picked up a copy of Les Miserables from the library and I'm trying to read it, I really am, but I just hate the way Victor Hugo writes. I feel always like he's writing down on his readers. Like the tone of his writing is condescending. And it pisses me off. Nonetheless I'm pretty determined. But I've read some good books in the past couple months. There's an author I'd probably be in love with if I didn't think he was disturbed, Yann Martel. If you haven't read Life of Pi I suggest you pick it up from your local library immediately. It's a fantastic story and you get sucked in and believe it even though it's crazy. I recently read his book, Beatrice and Virgil. It's an incredible story that really got to me. It puts the holocaust in a new light. It left me terrified to sleep without a baseball bat. It's beautiful though, the way he describes things is fantastic. I strongly recommend it.
In other news, I've realized I'm a terrible blogger everybody. Maybe I'm not so good at being trendy. It's tough finding the time to write this! Have no fear though, I'm working on it!
Cherish out!
