it has been way too long

wow. i am sorry i haven't posted in so long. life has been just too busy. i just finished my summer job at the county fair so now i have more time for other things like blogging! these are photos of my last night at the fair. my friend frankie & i walked around taking photos or all the ride lights. so brilliant! & he made me art at the kid art place we were working at. he's so silly.so, this post is going to contain a lot of different things. i was debating on whether i wanted to do a lot of little posts or one really long one. this long one just seemed easier.

i was tagged by kait a while back to list six things that made me smile. well, here it goes! (all photos but sister photo from google search)

1. peonies
i think they are becoming my favorite flower.

2. getting mailthis seems to be happening a lot lately!

3. pride & prejudicei could watch this movie over & over again & never get tired of it.

4. the field of sunflowers i pass on the way to school on the train.it reminds me of everything is illuminated.

5. my sistershe's leaving for school at the end of september. i'm really going to miss her.

6. tom cruise dancing in risky business

i will tag lizzie, wendy, melissa, mariel, & raquel. have fun ladies:]

well, i've been going to summer school every tuesday & thursday. one of my classes is a sociology of film class. it's really neat & i'm liking it alot. these are the films we have watched so far! (photos from imdb)

  5. That first picture reminds me of how whenever I go to ride parks the swings are the only ride I can handle while all my daring friends hit the roller coasters!

    Have you ever read Everything is Illuminated?Jonathan Safran Foer is an amazing author. Extrememly Loud and Incredibly close is my favorite of his books. I love the movie as well!

    I'm a gardenia girl myself but peonies are so beautiful!

    What does your sociology film class say about Twilight? I'm a big fan but I can only imagine a sociological view of the character Bella.

    I loved Keira's potrayal of Elizabeth Bennet. She made the Austen fans proud : )
