Too much purple clothing?

I don't think so.

I haven't been shopping in a really long time. But this past summer I shopped non stop, or so it seemed. But my favorite trip was at an H&M in Atlantic city. I walked down alone while the rest of my family was either in the casinos or an arcade.. So there was no body to hold me back... nobody I had to worry about giving opinions to, no getting unwanted opinions.. so I frolic around the store before my first trip to the fitting room. It wasn't until when I said "6" and handed my garnmets to the lady at the fitting room, she pointed out to me that everything in my hand was purple. And she didn't know that I had already decided I was getting 2 purple tank tops(a solid and striped.. that I wear all the time btw.).. but I had a purple button up, sweaters, a halter, and a few others that I didn't buy. haha! :)





I guess what made me think of it is that this weekend I reorganized my closet. All my clothing in my closet currently goes from white, to red, orange, yellow, to green, blue, violet, brown, black. And it looks adorable. But quite heavy in purple. And a bit heavy in greens.



But I'm okay with that. :)

Anyway, this weekend wasn't really a weekend.. I was running wardrobe for a show at my school... So in place of my non-weekend, I'm skipping my first class. I have to go to the gym, memorize lines, and practice for my piano quiz today and my theology class would just get in the way of all the great plans I have for this morning. I just can't let myself get in this habit. And I should really get going to the gym, since that's the main reason I skipped. I need a good booty-kicking workout. My swimsuit is hanging up on the back of my door and it is staring a hole through my soul.


PS. Evan Lysacek won gold in male figure skating in the Olympics! and Guess What:

I met him my junior year of high school. (Please ignore how horrible I look... it was 4 years ago.
Johnny Weir also had an incredible showing. Especially given his past performances in competition... he's improved so much, and I think he definitely deserved a place on the podium.. But alas, little miss theater geek from cow town PA isn't on the panel of judges. My gold/silver/bronze would probably have been Evan Lysacek, Jonny Weir... then probably Evan again for the bronze. Just because.
PPS. Apparently they're turning the book(joke novel?) Pride and Prejudice and Zombies into a movie. And apparently Natalie Portman is in it. (According to imdb) I mean - I love her.. and I love Pride & Prejudice... and I've been told I need to read the Zombies book.. but I'm kind of scared for this.

A note on happiness

After a brief haitus from blogging (aka: school is eating up my life this semester!!) I came back and checked on my old post and I saw a comment from Michelle over at Desultory Diversions and she gave me a blog award - the Happy award! And that just made me crazily happy! I'm still getting my barings to this blogging thing.. and I want to be serious about it, and to just know that I can make someone smile completely validated my efforts :) So a huge thank you to Michelle!

Something else that made me happy is that my parents gave me the go ahead to live off campus next year! Well... they gave me a "If you really want to, but we're not thrilled." And I did have a good hard think on it. It is what I want to do... and as much as I want my parent's blessing and them to be as happy as I am, I'm starting to realize that I can't worry about that as much as I do. This is just the first of many decisions that they won't be pleased with... like when I move to a big city - which is what I've always said I was going to do..

But I can't worry about that now. Now I'm focused on being excited about finding a bed and a dresser and a desk... So much opportunity for shopping and planning... and God knows, I love shopping and planning! :)

Also. This is just in the realm of possability for the summer. But the thought of it makes me smile uncontrollably. I might be taking a road trip to Orlando!!!
