i have an obsession…

After snooping around on Emma Watson’s (Hermione from Harry Potter) IMDb page, I found out that she appeared in the music video with the British indie band One Night Only. It’s rumored that she’s dating the lead singer, but apparently they’re just good friends. Anyway, I looked up the video and it’s actually pretty cute. They do this whole “Lady and the Tramp” theme where the girl is alone and lost in the big city and the guy finds her and takes her out.
Not only is the video real cute, but the song is fantastic. A lot of the lyrics are similar to each other, but it’s still good and has an awesome beat. Every time I hear it, it makes me think of New York, which makes me sad. I miss it so much! I think it’d be great to live in New York and have a little apartment close to Times Square, but I doubt that’ll ever happen. It’s nice to dream, though. ♥

Taking a new direction

So I recently met up with an advisor at school and he told me I should write about what I read, or read about what I write… One of the two, whichever makes more sense. Anyway, he also asked me what it was I liked so much about the books I read, and it stumped me. The best possibly answer I could think of was escape. Escape from reality, open your eyes, look up to the skies and see… Sorry got a little Queen there. Basically it’s the escape from reality and a headfirst jump into someone else’s world for a short time, living vicariously through their life, experiencing an adventure you wouldn’t normally have on your own. I can see that as being the main reason most people read fictional stories, but I hope to find more answers for myself as I continue reading. This new direction I want to take is solely for this blog. I started this blog with no real purpose in mind, except to improve my writing and maybe get feedback from my readers. Since I have such a difficult time with devoting time

A look at Jane Austen’s Emma

Image
(Disclaimer: This blog contains spoilers, so if you have not read or seen Emma , or other Jane Austen works, proceed with caution.) You may have guessed that I recently finished reading Emma by Jane Austen, which is known to be one of the top favorites of her works.  I did quite enjoy it myself and I agree that it is entertaining for being generally uneventful.  As I was reaching the conclusion, I realized that each novel I read before this one had some disastrous event occur before the end.  In Sense and Sensibility , Marianne Dashwood falls terribly ill and everyone is in fear of her not recovering.  Pride and Prejudice , Lydia Bennett runs off with Mr. Wickham and shames her family.  Mansfield Park , Henry Crawford, supposedly in love with Fanny Price, runs off with her married cousin, Maria Rushworth.  Mostly scandal, but always exciting in some way.  Emma lacks this exciting turn of events, unless you count the discovery of Frank Churchill and Jane Fairfax’s secret engagement.

so yeah…

I am horrible at keeping up with this. I blame school. And work. And myself. Note to self: stop being lame. Okay…so anyway, here is what’s been going on lately: Last September, I got hired at Starbucks close to Mom’s office and everything has been great. I work with awesome people, I get to meet and talk to awesome people, and I have learned how to make all of these drinks that people love, including myself. I have gotten much more adventurous than I used to be back in high school. I used to get a hazelnut white mocha, but now it’s too sweet for me. I still can’t drink coffee with flavor or sweetener, but I just bought a French press to try the all the coffee we sell. I’m learning little by little. We went back to New York in October for a week and were able to see some things that we missed before. We visited Ellis Island, walked across Ground Zero and saw the new memorial, saw the first act of Don Giovanni at the Met, had some yummy pizza in Brooklyn, and walked across the Broo
