20 things

1. my birthday is in less than twenty days!! i kinda love a reason to eat cake. 
2. actually i think i just like cake in general.
3. painting makes me happy
4. ingrid michaelson is one of my latest music obsessions. 
5. speaking of obsessions... vampire diaries. did i really just admit that??  good thing i'm still a teenager so i can still admit that. nineteen more days!!
6. i'm going to spain! what?? haha. sometimes i'm so spontaneous i even surprise myself. 
7. and i get to see alyssa before i go! good reason to visit the east coast. cause i kinda love her and her adorable little family.  
8. i miss having art classes that i could draw everyday from. best homework ever.
9. i have not painted my nails for thirteen days. that is probably the longest they've been plain in a long time.
10. somedays i really miss my long hair.. even though that was so january.  was cutting it a bad idea?  please grow back.
11. i kinda have this thing for black and white. 
12. i also have been having major cathedral withdraws. hopefully there are some good ones where i'm going in spain. cause i'm craving the architecture.  
13. newest favorite book: the fault in our stars. please go read it. now. i read it in a day. probably cried the whole time. and loved every page. it made it up there with wuthering heights, harry potters, and pride and prejudice.  clearly it is a good book if it made it with the favorites.  
14. i procrastinate. and i need to stop.
15. i think somedays i secretly miss living in the burg. (shhh don't tell my mom, she told me to stay up there)
16. i really like flowers this summer. i mean, i've always loved them. but this summer there is just something about them that is a little extra special. 
17. sometimes i read my art history books for fun. and i like them. 
18. the smell of watercolors makes my heart happy.
19. i have a pen pal this summer! i've never had a pen pal. she's my friend from school. ada grace is the best. and writing her letters was the best plan we ever had. 
20. my life is kinda awesome. i wish i could slow down this summer. too many good things are happening in so little time.  i feel like i need more time to soak it all in.
