DIY yourselff :D

i've decided i'm going to sew my butt off the next chance i get, and when I get some fabric too...

but i've found this basic tote bag instructional online (http://www.dltk-kids.com/crafts/cartoons/shirts/sewing_a_cotton_tote_bag.htm) and decided to add some spice to it. It's basically a plain tote bag, like show below, but I decided I wanted to add - to a plain cloth tote, two front pockets, sort of like a cargo bag style and a convertible handle style, so a long handle would also be added on with the two short ones. I'm hoping my bag will be a sucess! Wish me luck :D

i know three things evil in life.

and i think I've done them all and every one's done them to me. I'll list them for you.
1. Revenge
2. Spreading Rumors
3. Being an overall mean, snotty, talking behind your back person.

Whoops, I'm #3 and one of my friends has said that "Honestly, you're the meanest person I've ever met." Burn.
And this guy I know, who I don't have a very nice history with, he spread at least three rumors about me this year or to me. One of them was that one of my best guy friends hated me, another was I was going to stab someone (most recent), and the last was that I was pregnant. I am not pregnant, I'm practically a lip virgin. Gosh. All my friends are believing it too. I wrote something about a "Plan" about this girl on a girl's wall, he stalked me (he's not even my friend on facebook) and he thought I was going to stab her. The plan was to be her friend. But I haven't talked about anyone behind their back for the last two days. It's sort of harsh and hard when your best friend says you're the meanest person you've ever met and that night I cried myself to sleep. I didn't and still don't want to face the truth, what am I supposed to say? I'm a mean person, don't talk to me? I want to cry even now, What am I supposed to do? Some people would say change, but it's not honestly that easy, it never is. So what the hell are you telling me, because I can bet you that you can't change more than I can.

I thought I knew myself, but I guess I know myself as a snotty mean person. This is wonderful, and I have to change myself - all over again. All my "work" (the work I thought I put in) is for nothing. And now I"m starting from scratch - again.

Let's do a critical lens on this quote:
"What about taking this empty cup, and filling it up with a little bit more of innocence, I haven't had enough." - Love for a Child by Jason Mraz

Literary Device: Metaphor
Example of the literary device in a book (Romeo and Juliet): "But soft what light through yonder window breaks? It is the East, and Juliet is the Sun." (Act 2, Scene 2, Lines 2 and 3)

Which character should develop this in their lives: Everyone, because this world is a retarded one, but who didn't know that?
Why?: because no one appreciates innocence while they have it, and when they lose it, they want it all back, every drop.

Let's do another critical lens:
"The world is a dangerous place to live, not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don't do anything about it." -Albert Einstein
Literary Device: Characterization
Example in "Head Over Heels" by Ryan Nerz: "And somehow I guess I thought that being different would make everything else different too." Page 1
Which character should develop this in their lives: Everyone.
Why?: Because everyone is evil, and noone gives. Noone cares, what are we supposed to do anyways?

Every Critical Lens ends in a mystery.

just so you know, i'm outta control, oh yeah

just so you know, by Jesse Mcartney. Old times babyy. I miss the old pop boy Jesse, now he's all "Yo, Yo, Yo" and wannabe Chris Brown - not cool, my brother, not cool.
I have three words for you gals out there, CHAD MICHAEL MURRAY. He is amazingg. In A Cinderella Story, he was so gorgeous as Austin, I intentionally watched OTH (One Tree Hill) last night to catch a couple glances of him in his role as "Lucas." He's got it all by the way, "Brooke Davis" is gorgeous on that show. Talking about TV shows, I decided that you have to watch the shoes I'm listing now, or, well, I don't know :)
1. Gossip Girl: lustful, guilty and amazing outfits, the drama never ends. You fall in love with all the boys, including bad boy Chuck Bass, hunky good guy Nate, and the artsy boy who lives in the "Slubs" Dan Humphrey. And of course the girls, well they're complicated. My favorites, Jenny Humphrey (Taylor Momsen), 16 year old rocker fashion designer, Serena Van Der Woodsen, the (used to be) bad girl and devilish Blair Waldor, the girl who used to have it all until her world came crashing around her.
2. Secret Life of an American Teenager, the fictional story of a girl who has become impregonated by the school man skank, who decides to hook up with every girl in school, including the pregnant girl's best friends.
3. 90210: Amazing drama, you learn to love the characters. Worth the watch.
4. Sonny with a Chance: Adorable, Quirky, funny, very cute :D
5. ANTM: guilty pleasure all the way. Model reality show, but no one every really becomes a top model.

That's it! If you can't keep up with this, well, that's too bad, at least watch a few episodes ;D
some more interesting posts soon, i promisee :D

card games

card games, well there are a ton, but the ones I play the most are: Solitare, Chinese Poker, Crazy 8's, Spit and Hearts. And I honestly can never remember the rules to Crazy 8's and Hearts? I have no idea how to play still except that you want the lowest score. I'm utterly clueless. But aren't card games like the game of life?
Play your cards right, and you'll win, living a happy fufilled life in which you enjoyed. Each play, is like a choice in life. And if you screw up? You lose, and you end up being some drugged hobo on the street.
Now that's comforting, eh?
Thought I should just share some thoughts, because after all - that's what a bog is for.

celebrity gossip

i find most celebrity gossip utterly boring, or utterly startling - one or the other, alwlays at an extreme. Like for example, I was leafing through oceanup.com today, and I saw that someone had tattooed Demi Lovato's name onto their inner lip, ew! That's just gross. All the other posts are about someone going somewhere wearing something, boring. stalking celebrities is not cool, they need some privacy too.
just thought i'd rant a little on that subject.
I can't wait for The Veronicas to start touring in July with Taylor Mosmen's band (what? she sings?), i'm super excited to see them.

I want to go, badly :D Now, let's call it a date, shall we?
-Christie

the things i love.

i love it when...

• Magizenes like "Lucky, Instyle, People Style Watch, Vogue, etc." have titles like, "HIGH STYLE, Low Price Tag". It makes me laugh. Because half of the stuff there, could defintley be found for so much cheaper at a differnet store that the magazine doesn't want to stoop down to and publish. It annoys the bejessus (or whatever) out of me!
• the flowers bloom, it's super pretty and gives you a feeling of starting over.
• your hair is just perfect.
• you have a 'skinny' day
• you find the best deal ever. You get such an adrenaline rush :D
• Kathy Griffin and other comedians make fun of celebrities that need to be made fun of :D
• annoying couples (for example, Justin Gaston and Miley Cyrus) pretend NOT to be a couple. how annoying.
• you hate something everyone else loves. por example: Philosophy Lip Glosses and Body Washes, ew I hate that stuff, It tastes disgustingg. por another example: The Jonas Brothers, Okay I dont' hate them, i think they got kinda gay though. After their "SOS" blow up, I really didn't like them that much any more. Joe got extremely gross because of Camila de Vil and his almost unibrow. Nick got kinda, urm, ugly. Not to insult anyone or something. Kevin's alright.
• you just finish working out, huge adrenaline rush.
• you discover something you never knew you would, it's just like wow :D
• you eat ice cream in the summer, or drink hot chocolate in the winter, oppisites are amazing.
• you dance your butt off at a party.
• you know that someone loves you back more than you do.

This is my whole entire list of loves slash hates - kinda both. :D Just thought I'd share, there's probably tons more, but I have to go study for SAT II Bio, and my mom is probably gonna kill me when she gets home and found out I did absolutely nothing today except watch Secret Life and go on Polyvore. :D

♥, Christie

C.H.R.I.S.T.I.E

You're probably wondering why this is an acronym, and why this is the title of my blog. Well, it is an acronym, and it stands for something.
C: the Curious
H: Happenings
R: Related
I : with the Interesting
S: Subjects
T: To do with
I :Intuituive
E:eitsirhc

Okay, that was lame, but what can I say, I thought it would be like J.O.N.A.S, but that didn't work out too well. I'm actually listening to Demi Lovato's first song, "Moves Me." She sounds mighty sultry for a 12 year old. Sometimes I'm jealous of those Disney Stars (Selena Gomez, Demi Lovato, Miley Cyrus etc) because they're basically living the big life. Every girl across the country knows their name, but whether or not they like them or not, that's a different story. They have everything, they can meet all the stars - big and small. But, they can't live a normal life, every other girl in the country has that, and they don't want it. And sometimes, I like my normal life.
By the way, I just watched Demi Lovato's new "Don't Forget" music video, It's cute. Her lyrics are okay - kinda repeatitive, even though I know if i said that on the street, a bunch of fan girls would KILL me. She looks super sad though, and it kinda made me feel sad, is that good? I actually really want to see her in her '09 tour, and I'm going to buy her new album-whenever it comes out. And apparently her "Don't Forget" Deluxe Edition is out already. something like that. She got a lot better, let's just say. But I still don't fully approve of any other Disney Star's Musical talent, I think Disney is just one big fluke. Disney Star once, Disney Star forever. You're a not a real Star, until you're not a disney star anymore. That's all for my ramble on Disney, more later, everyone.
Music Video - below. :D
