Ain't No Party Like a Potter Party [13 Jul 2009|07:34pm] [ mood | ecstatic ] [ music | Fallin' For You - Colbie Calliat ] Tomorrow after our Girl Scout camp duties Ally and I will drive to Bridgeport for a Potter party with Chelsea and Bridget! Half-Blood Prince midnight premiere, baby! There will be eyeliner writing on cheeks, red scars for foreheads and pen arm graffiti to pimp out this momentous occasion. It is not physically possible to be more excited than I already am. There is nothing more awesome than hearing the Harry Potter theme song for the first viewing of a Harry Potter movie. It's magical. Welcome back Jammy Pants, enjoy your visit. Sit back, relax and enjoy the movie.  post comment

"I don't want to live my life without you." [21 Jun 2009|10:11pm] [ mood | touched ] [ music | I Will Remember You - Sarah Mclachlan ] I finished Felicity. Pure perfection. Thank you JJ and Matt for four wonderful seasons of television gold. Funny, touching, delightful and sweet Felicity is a show to keep, to cherish and love. It will definitely not just sit on my DVD rack to collect dust but will be frequently brought out, watched and enjoyed again and again and again. Sometimes it's the smallest things that can pretty much change your life forever. Thank you Felicity. I heart you most deeply. post comment

Twilight Tantrum [01 Jun 2009|12:04pm] [ mood | annoyed ] [ music | Accidentel Deth - Rilo Kiley ] I'm so over Twilight and Robert Pattinson. Like bite me. Do I care? Look at my face. FACE. AIN'T. BOVVERED. I can barely digest it as a guilty pleasure without wanting to throw it up.    post comment

Before the Curtain Closes [01 Jun 2009|07:59am] [ mood | anxious ] Today is June 1st. I have 10 days (not including today) until my finals are over and 21 days until I arrive at the Salt Lake City airport in Utah. I cannot believe that Russia Part II is almost over. This year has been like the The Two Towers in that it has served no other purpose than to be a middle piece - a conduit from the beginning to the end. Sure, there was some awesome bits (Hello! Helm's Deep!) but in the grand scheme of things it will be a blur and the only thing distinguishable will be the moment I arrived in the smokey and hot Sheremetavo airport in Russia Part I and the moment when I leave with an AAS diploma in my hand in Russia Part III. Unfortunately there will be no epic battle sequence involving dirty men, swords and rainfall at the end but I'm ok with that. I have America instead! You know it's bad when the only thing I can think about apart from my History and Biology exams are New York H's with cheese fries and breathing in the clean plastic smell that America embodies. This summer is going to super fun from the Half-Blood Prince midnight premiere with Chelsea, Girl Scout camp, California with the G-rents to Utah visits from friends it's going be nonstop fun from beginning to end. Tonight I'm going to go listen to Presdient Uchtdorf and Elder Anderson from the the church presidency and quroum of the twelve. I'm really exicted, I love listening to general authorities! Whenever they come and visit they always have really profound and helpful talks that help steer my life in the right direction. I'll be a nice boost of spiritual energy to get me through the next two weeks. SAT on Saturday. Woo! Standarize testing is my activity of choice! Let's hope that between studying for finals and the SAT on Saturday that I'll still have sufficient brain power to successfully complete my exams! post comment

This Is Why David Tennant is 100% Pure Awesome and Not From Concentrate [05 May 2009|01:53pm] [ mood | sleepy ] [ music | Now We Can See - The Thermals ] Thank you for making my day, DT. Between the OTP of  DT + kittens as posted by damalur  and this I'm going to be smiling all day. post comment

Chuck vs. Cancellation [27 Apr 2009|10:37am] [ mood | worried ] [ music | Daddy's Gone - Glasvegas ] Save our favorite Buy More employee from leaving television forever! Keep the Nerd Herd alive! Tonight, please buy a footlong at Subway and watch the Chuck series season finale on NBC at 8 PM! Please, my friends, save this awesome but underated television show! Five dollars is not much to save a television show with awesome potential for a third season (+ more)! Click here for more info post comment

Signs of the Times [21 Apr 2009|12:10pm] [ mood | indifferent ] [ music | Now Or Never - High School Musical 3 Soundtrack ] For the past three days I've been listening to the High School Musical 3 soundtrack on repeat to the point that every song has at least been played 20 times or more. Oh boy. The apocalypse is approaching guys. And you know what? I don't care. So what if I know all the words to "Can I Have This Dance?" I give up my claim on sophistication now. Give me the frills, fluff and cheese! "I Want It All!" post comment

The Temp [07 Mar 2009|12:40am] [ mood | nostalgic ] [ music | Yellow - Jem ] I stumbled across this during my midnight internet surf-age. This seriously made me watery eyed. I felt my heart strings tugging especially at the middle where it goes back to how the Doctor and Donna met. It's quite well done! I'm impressed, hence the sharing. Donna's ending still gets me choked up inside -  she's my homegirl! Why doesn't everyone watch Doctor Who? post comment

"This is not my beautiful house." [03 Mar 2009|05:24pm] [ mood | silly ] [ music | Once In A Lifetime - Talking Heads ] Thanks to Chuck I have a new song to increase the happy points: "Once In A Lifetime" by the Talking Heads. Listen and buy. Think of it as a purchase for your mental health. post comment

Because I Heart You [28 Feb 2009|11:56am] [ mood | working ] [ music | In a Big Country - Big Country ] Whenever my English teacher does something nice for us (Like type up a guide as to why our essays sucked and how we can improve them) she always says, "Because I heart you," as an explanation. So, my friends, because I heart you I'm sharing this recipe I got off my friend's blog. It's a salad in a blender with the disguise of a fruit smoothie! I love it. It's a perfect alternative to getting those greens in. Green Goddess 1 ladle full of unsweetened pineapple/pineapple juice 1 yogurt container (I like vanilla or any berry) 1 banana 2 very full handfuls of spinach, if not more Blend and enjoy! 6 comments|post comment

Proof the IB Kills Brain Cells [11 Feb 2009|05:48pm] [ mood | dorky ] [ music | O...Saya - M.I.A and A.R Rahman ] If my Twilight movie love wasn't enough proof of my slow descent into frilly, teen crap this just reinforces it. 17 Again trailer I'm dying to see this movie. It looks like a ridiculous amount of fun. Plus, as a teenage girl I feel it's my obligation to swoon for Zac Efron at least once before I enter adulthood. PS. Maybe it's not the IB that's done this to me but the major stress headache I got at school today during a three hour college application prep lecture...do they want me to die young? 4 comments|post comment

New Kid on the Block [04 Jan 2009|05:55pm] [ mood | excited ] Matt Smith has been named as the actor who will take over from David Tennant in Doctor Who - making him the youngest actor to take on the role. More Info Here This guy is not what I expected, but I think that's a good thing! I'm really curious to see what he'll do with the role! He is very wise to seek wisdom from Master Tennant, because dude, Tennant holds most of the awesome that is Doctor Who. My only request is that he wears glasses occasionally---hot nerd glasses like that of his iconic forbearer i.e Tennant. Peter Parker shades would work as well. RACHEL NEEDS MORE WHO STAT! Get workin' Moffat! 4 comments|post comment

"All of your street light eyes wide on my plastic toys" [04 Dec 2008|07:36pm] [ mood | melancholy ] [ music | Flightless Bird, American Mouth - Iron & Wine ] "Flightless Bird, American Mouth" makes me so wistful is this truly painful way. It's beautiful even though the words are ugly. There's some interesting juxtoposition going on there. I truly heart it most deeply. 1 comment|post comment

One Sad Day [16 Nov 2008|09:34am] [ mood | depressed ] [ music | Breathe Me - Sia ] I've never felt like such a sad sack in my life. Something has just clicked off in my mind that makes me incapable of picking myself back up again. I feel depressed, flattened. I think I should stop focusing on myself. That's the best way to overcome it. I'm going to try to think of others and their happiness. I'm going to pity myself no longer.   Plan starts now. 5 comments|post comment

The Little Doctor [07 Nov 2008|02:49pm] [ mood | listless ] That tardis console was built by the dad of this mini Tennant for the kid's bedroom. Talk about dedication! I think it's super cute. The nerdy fangirl in me just can't get over it. Look at the walls! And the chucks! So precious. post comment

Rachel's Death Wish [04 Nov 2008|02:19pm] [ mood | annoyed ] Let's get this freakin' election over with. This crap is turning me into a madwoman. Politics? Schmalitics! It does no good in the world. I've lost hope of ever aligning myself with a party that represents me OR that actually makes a difference for good. PS. This mood picture makes me smile despite the politcal annoyance eating my insides. post comment

Doomsday [31 Oct 2008|09:52am] [ mood | sad ] Today, it was announced that David Tennant is leaving Doctor Who. Oh! Sad day! First they give Donna the boot in this horribly, tragic way that leaves me mourning for days and now THIS! I have hope though that the new Doctor will be awesome, maybe not to the extent that Tennant was awesome but awesome in this wonderfully new way that Who-ites have not seen before. I trust Moffat. All will be well, right? post comment
