hot n cold has been stuck in my head, legit, all day ! i woke up this morning and the music video was on. on the bus to school i was singing it the whole time. i got to school and i sang it all first, second and third period. then it sat in my head all day until ninth period when i started seriously singing it again. it's still stuck in my head now ! hahah. i'm blasting it and dancing to myself right now. i'm in such a better mood from yesterday that i want to stay in katyperryland. right after i wrote all that shit and took a nap, i felt better and things got better. i just had a good night. i don't feel like typing details. but anyway, i love this song so much ! haha. i didn't mean to, but i just love it ! i love just blasting music and having a good time. i know this is going to be a good weekend and i'm looking forward to it so much ! i'm so happy that i'm going to have a nice break. all the unresolved issues feel halfway resolved and i'm just so relieved that things are looking up again ! i'm probably going to watch amelie tonight because i got it off netflix to lend it to a friend. it ended up that i didn't get it until today and now it's too late to lend it to him, haha. he still has eternal sunshine of the spotless mind from me so i guess it's better i wait until he finally watches that one (my favorite movie) before i expect him to watch the third best movie ! or fourth, i haven't decided if pan's labyrinth is better or not, yet, but either way, i just love this movie and i'm going to watch it to match the good mood i'm in. i just want to give someone a big hug right now. i'll probably squeeze my brother right after i finish typing here. i'm just in love with my life right now, and everyone in it. my sister comes home tomorrow, then it's thanksgiving, then it's black friday, then i'm hanging out with a friend on saturday and then sunday is city calm down. i'm so happy. things are going fine. i'm not rushing into anything. i'm just chill and whatever happens, happens. i'm just so excited and full of optimism that i feel like i can do just about anything.

listening to yann tiersen and just pondering my daily life. daily life has been ordinary, but certain people make it seem as though ordinary could get a little extra added into the mix. i'm just always pumped nowadays, and i like it. it makes me want to wake up in the morning and gives me room to really dream, i guess.

i went to see twilight. obviously, it was not very good. i wasn't disappointed because i was expecting the worst, but the worst is pretty much what i ended up getting. i didn't understand catherine hardwicke's point of view much... i imagined it much darker, much colder and much more in depth and substance basically. i guess what i comes down to is that everyone has their own interpretation and you'll either love or hate the movie. i just wanted it to be so clint mansell composed. i imagined it to the tune of the theme from wind chill. i wanted so bad to make that movie tonight, just to show those people who didn't read the book that there's more to it than what was shown. i guess hardwicke was attempting to make it contemporary and more relatable to teenagers, and it did seem as though her signature urban style appeared in parts, but i just think more could've been done and it wasn't. i felt like the script was poorly written and it lacked in spots.

all in all, it's been a good week and i've really liked it, aside from the whole twilight movie. i laughed my way through it actually. my favorite part was when it ended and they played 15 step by radiohead. (: i'm only 10 sales away from my one year goal of 100 ! buy stuff from me so i can reach it ! :D jamieleto.etsy.com

things got better today. after last week being exhausting, stressful and utterly terrible, today is a new day and it is standing up proud with dignity. so many weights were lifted from me today and it was all i really needed to get back on track. i had a good talk with a good friend and had a nice day of thought. days like this keep me warm. i guess watching eternal sunshine last night really helped also, but all in all, i'm content and things are looking up. i'm one or two etsy sales away from buying some nice things. (: i really want this dress from luchaworkshop. i love the whole science fiction aspect of their new stuff. i love the whole atomic war, science fiction type atmosphere. that sounds kind of odd, i guess. i don't like atomic war, i'd hate it, but i just like something about the atomic age, i don't know how to explain it. either way, i want this dress, as well as about every other in luchaworkshop's etsy. they're one of my favorites. in conclusion, by stuff from me so i can buy some nice things from them ! hehe. i haven't had an etsy sale this week yet. pish posh.

i think too much. it was really sunny today. i decided not to stay after school and just come home. i still haven't called my parents to tell them that, but whatever. i'm listeing to rogue wave and being a mope-y weenie, but i;m actually okay with it. i was going to apply for national honor society, but i'm starting to have second thoughts. my etsy sales are picking up and i got a convo this morning for a wholesale inquiry ! i'm madly excited. i've officially decided that listening to chicago x 12 while feeling sad is the greatest medication anywhere. i was probably just about to right a sort of asshole blog entry, but it got fixed by rogue wave's cheerful beats. now it's being followed by badly drawn boy. (: the world seems to know what i need.

i was going to apply for national honor society, but i'm having doubts on if i'll be able to keep up with everything. i already gave one teacher a recommendation to fill out.. i have two more. other than that, i need a recommendation from some community manager type. i did some community service over the summer but i don't know if they'd fill it out for me, ugh. hehe. i don't know. i've filled out most of the application and noticed that i'm not much of an over-achiever. i've gotten a little lazier this year in terms of extracurriculars, or maybe i was lazy to begin with. i don't know. i'll just have procrastinated recommendations and try to volunteer tomorrow and such. who knows what will happen, but all i learned is, some things mean more than school. i learned it yesterday-ish.

yesterday morning i was talking to my mom. she was upset about some things and needed to vent. in that moment, i became proud of myself as i spoke to her. i've grown so much, and in some way, grown more than my older siblings. being an aspiring filmmaker, i figured out my whole immediate family history. the misconceptions, the wrong turns, the wrong blames. things that haunt and sadden us, as well as things we enjoy to reminisce about. i'm not that into venting about my family or home life. there isn't much to vent about anymore. try me three years ago for it. it's just, i'm so proud i could see things people don't. i can explain the conflicts and inner-workings of my family who was screwed up for so long and i figured out why. i turned a lifelong villain into a friend. i overcame the fact that i felt ignored for so long and made amends with someone i thought i'd hated. i think i've been brave in my decisions and my thoughts. thinking back just makes me love myself a little more. i've achieved something that others in my family have not, and that's love for each of them. in my family it seems as though each of us always have someone we dislike or even hate, but not me. i've grown to love each of them, no matter how they may or may not have hurt me. without knowing the history, you may not be able to see, but if you would've known me then, you could see how far i've come.

<-- i found this on etsy the other day. kurt vonnegut is seriously, one of my favorite people to ever live. he's my soul mate, we were just born in the wrong decades. someday we'll be together, haha. not for his looks, for his mind. we thought sort of the same. i love his dark humor. i love how his books are so apocalyptic and full of the fall of humanity. it sounds weird, but i guess it's only for those who understand. it's hard for me to find someone i can really talk to about vonnegut's works and such. some people just don't understand my fascination with the apocalypse and the fall of humanity. i guess i wouldn't either if it wasn't me. i don't know, but i love this pin. it's the essence of vonnegut for a high school student.

i really want  this shirt ! i love timber ! his art is so amazing and it has such great texture to it. i have yet to buy something from him, but if my wholesale inquiry goes well then i'll probably be buying more than that ! hehe. i'm really excited. if it goes through i won't have to worry about money for a good while, and hopefully i could eventually accumulate enough for my camcorder by next year ! i'm really hoping, hoping, hoping ! hehe. anyway, i love the illustration on this v-neck.

just reminding all you lovely people that history has been made. i'd be more passionate about my writing in this moment, but i wore a lot of it out today. overall, i'm incredibly thrilled with the outcome. i believed in obama so much since i first heard him speak. his demeanor makes for that of a president. it's where he belongs, honestly. he gives me so much hope and strength, and he gives it to everyone else too. his charisma, charm and values are so attractive to anyone and everyone he meets. he's a likeable guy, and foreigners like him too. he will restore the united states' former glory and make waving the american flag a thing of pride rather than what bush made it... shame. i believe so much in him. this election was by far, one of the greatest experiences of my life. the year of campaigning, the primaries, the fighting, biden, palin... the controversy, just.. everything ! i'm so excited to see what's to come because i believe in obama so strongly. he is near and dear to my heart. i think our country is back on the right track. i feel so proud to be an american today, in this moment. 40 years ago we were protesting for african american rights and martin luther king's dream came true. obama is a figure of the new america and i am so hoping he does a good job. actually, not hoping, i know he will do a terrific job. this race has just been a phenomenon. a few years ago i started a documentary about how our generation was apathetic and this election changed everything for me. 80% of voters came out, and that's the most to come out since women got the right to vote ! it's amazing, it's phenomenal and i just have to say i'm so excited for 2009. i've never felt so strongly for a politician in my life, but obama gave me hope. hope for the new generation, hope for our country, hope that my future will be secure. i love this guy so much. i hope he is the best president to ever take office because he deserves it. his background, he worked his way up from the bottom and i have so much respect for him. underneath it all, he understands the average american in the working class and he's just an amazing person that anyone and everyone should be pleased to live among.

besides the election, i'm pretty stoked about some other things going on in my life. i'm sort of feeling chemistry with someone else (who isn't taken) so we'll see how that goes, but before i start sounding like a teenager, i'll leave it off with some cool shizz around da etsy hood. ps- obama, i love you.

<-- i posted this necklace yesterday. i really like it ! well, i like it for other people at least. it's such a cute hippie statement. i'm so happy i found this super-cute charm ! it looks awesome ! i like the color combo and i'm so excited for it to be bought ! i think it'll be a great addition to someone's accessory collection someday.

i've been finding a lot of cool things on etsy lately. my wishlist keeps growing and growing. i don't think i'll ever stop having a wishlist. i don't know if that's a good or bad thing. oh well.

now that i know the way to go, you got to pay back every penny that you owe. twelve years old in your mother's clothes, shut the blinds and lock up every door. and if you're here then someone's coming near, just close your eyes and make them disappear. sudden burst of devendra banhart lyrics. don't ask.

anyway, i'm contemplating staying with this blog. i've jumped between blog sites so many times. i used to be xanga, then livejournal (but not really), now vox and i'm contemplating jumping to blogspot, just for more module space, and also for marketing purposes for my etsy. i don't know how much traffic i'm getting here. it seems as though the only vox user who gets traffic is cubistliterature, but that's just because he's uber cool. ew, i just said uber. anyway, just letting anyone who actually reads this stuff, this might be the end.

i was just checking out blogspot, and i couldn't help missing vox already in that one second i spent setting it up. here i can link my flickr and photobucket, post books and videos, okay i guess i'm staying. it's too cool here.

now that chicago x 12 is playing on my iTunes as i came to this realization, i must say, that was the most pointless contemplation and this is the most pointless post. who cares about traffic, i have archives and history here, and that's all i need i guess. i found some stuff on etsy i really like by the way.

i ended up watching breakfast at tiffany's last night, like i said. i didn't pay attention much because i was busy on the phone with my friend trying to help him with somethings. either way, i love that movie so much. i always wanted to be holly golightly and have the fabulous clothes and hair. i love her hair. other than that, i did watch jon & kate plus 8, but i have to watch real chance at love some other time. vh1 always repeats anyway.

i really like this bag. i need a new bag to carry my books in and this fits the bill. i'll have to set some money aside, btu i like that it's made out of recycled materials and such. it appeals to me a lot. it ensnares my senses, hehe. and i like the bold text. buy it for me? my birthday is on saturday. (;

i'm also really digging this shirt by thefullspectrum. i've been dying to buy something from that shop for so long. there is so much i want there. i want so much stuff on etsy, hehe. i've almost finished christmas shopping and etsy has been my main tool. i only have around four people left. i have a big-ish family so for me, that's not many. anyway, i love owls and i love this shirt ! i think it goes well with the burlap tote as well so i want it. i love scoop necked shirts. i like them a lot. don't ask why, i just like the way they look on me. anyway, i'll leave it at that before i get too specific.

<-- planet earth necklace, $11. just listed in my etsy shop ! today i found myself searching through the wonderous world of blogs and i came across this slideshow laying out all the different kinds of blogs. i think it would be exciting to venture into the world of creative blogging. daily blogging at least. i always vow to write my daily thoughts and feelings here, but i guess i'm fickle in that pretense. i know i've been busy, but i think keeping up with some form of a history is important. i know i'm not going to remember this particular day, twenty years from now. i want to know that there is something in my life maintaining my meaning. but i think i need to accept the fact that i'm never going to have any form of uniformity within my posts. sometimes i feel like posting self-portraits or favorite etsy sellers, but ultimately i think that i writing whatever is in my mind works best for me. i just need to let out sometimes. i just don't know if i necessarily want to be writing these massive paragraphs packed with metaphors and large vocabulary or just however i'm thinking things up. i don't know if i want to write this for your entertainment or for my satisfaction. i don't know if i want both. i just see myself as growing a tad boring if you can believe it. but in the near future, i am planning on having weekly idea seshs. i know i never maintain any of the crap i care to carry out, aside from my list of goals which i think about daily, but i think i need to start having weekly idea seshs for real. i want to make a stack of ideas, a book of ideas, that i could look to forever. i think of all habits it would be best to have an hour or two every week where i sit down listen to music or just find some way to get inspired. i want to make myself get at least one idea a week. i don't want to expect to much out of myself but i just want to figure out myself more than i have been as of late i suppose.

i think i'll be watching breakfast at tiffany's tonight. and i'm going to sleep happy because today i was so happy. i felt wanted and needed, i felt like i had really friends and i felt like i had meaning no matter what the future holds. just going to school with anticipation for something and then coming home for everything to just keep looking up i start to wonder what i did to deserve so much happiness. i'm truly grateful for this day and everyday, whoever it was that gives it to me. thank you. now i'll close with two reasons why i said what i said.

<-- my sister's christmas present ! i can't wait for her to get it, i'm hoping she'll love it as much as i do. i think elmstudiosonline really captured them nicely and i can't wait to see what my sister thinks of it ! i'm shivering with anticipation, and not in a rocky horror sort of way, in an innocent sort of way, hehe. (;

 

i always find something i like in elloh's shop. i always check her shop to see if there's anything else i could possibly swoon over for a moment, and this is it this time. it puts me in the mood to sing some moon river and get kissed in the rain. i'm defintiely watching breakfast at tiffany's tonight (after jon & kate plus 8 and real chance of love) i'm such a nerd.

some mega flickr updating is going on, by me, hehe. i can't tell if it's a good or bad move to use up all my monthly usage in one day. nevermind, it's a bad idea. i'm just dying to buy flickr pro, but i'm saving still. all the money i make on semi-cowls i've put away in the bank, and i feel a mega surplus coming on. i hope i end up with something good in the end. but anyway, business is booming a little. my semi-cowls have been a hit and i've already sold six. i've made a lot and have been up-ing the price by a dollar every three i sell. after i hit around 26 maybe i'll keep it at a uniform price, but i'm just experimenting. i'm excited for this holiday season. i think it'll be good for me and my shop.

i'm so dying for flickr pro man ! sheeit. anyways, i just felt like releasing feelings today. lately i've been feeling so out of place. it's like seasonal depression back at me again and i hate it. i feel like i'm outcasted from society, and it's weird because i know i'm not. i'm just hating how i'm feeling right now and i don't understand how i'm feeling right now. it's just a big mix of everything. maybe it's a withdrawal of sorts, but i would think that now that i'm aware of who i am, the whole seasonal depression thing wouldn't take shape... i was wrong i guess.

there are just some moments in the day where i feel left out; alone in some way or another. i don't know what it is. my friends don't alienate me, but i guess sometimes my obnoxious and impulsive nature gets the best of me. i don't know if it's a positive or negative thing about me, but all i know is, it scare me sometimes just cos sometimes i feel like i need the approval of others. i like when people like me for me, but sometimes it gets hard to even accept myself, just cos sometimes i feel the need to change. i know i have friends and people who like me for who i am, but sometimes i wonder if it's enough. sometimes i wonder if i should be more. am i wrong in this?
