What...A Riot

THREE THINGS:

1. The title of this post is in reference to Chelsea Handler's new book, Chelsea Chelsea Bang Bang, which I just started today. I think my favorite part so far is in the book's dedication where she wrote: "To my brothers and sisters. What...a bunch of assholes." Lol. Seriously though it's really good so far if you appreciate Chelsea Handler humor. It's one-of-a-kind. My bestie Madison has actually taken to acting like Chelsea without even realizing it and is so good at it that I sometimes have to stop and tell her, "Omg that was so Chelsea." Ya we're weird but whatev.

2. I seriously cannot stop listening to Florence & the Machine. Her newest album, Lungs, is so so wonderful wonderful.
"“I want my music to sound like throwing yourself out of a tree, or off a tall building, or as if you’re being sucked down into the ocean and you can’t breathe,” says Florence Welch. “It’s something overwhelming and all-encompassing that fills you up, and you’re either going to explode with it, or you’re just going to disappear.”
What else can be said...just listen to her.

3. This week is Spring Break and I will be in Austin, Texas to spend time with a bestie and crash a few SXSW parties. Yes! Not that I am opposed to those making the trip to the beach- I'm quite the beach bum myself- but since I will actually be in Gulf Shores in May, I decided Austin would be a perfect little trip for the break. I can't wait to take loads of pictures, hear good music and drink coffee at Spiderhouse.

Ok I lied I have a fourth thing...

4. My bestie Kelsey gave me an award! Yep that's right...
Thank you Kelsey!! (her blog- Writing Left Handed)
Now I'm supposed to pass it on to other bloggers who I find worthy... so congrats to my friends Madison of Are You There Hollywood? It's Me Madison, Corey at Coreymahan.com, Sam's My Thoughts for Today, Emma's blog and Paris blog, & Kristen's My Life Abroad!

Upon receiving this award- post it on your blog, pass it on to other bloggers and then post 7 random things about yourself....

so here goes mine:
1. I wish I had freckles
2. Something about that Walmart commercial with the older man needing help with his reading really gets me.
3. My minor is French but I'm pretty terrible at it
4. I have an unnatural obsession with dogs and know it is my destiny to have the most wonderful dog in the world some day
5. I have witnessed a robbery...twice.
6. I've kept a journal since the 9th grade. It is a wonderful thing.
7. I started watching How I Met Your Mother because I thought it looked dumb and couldn't understand what all the fuss was about- now I'm hooked.

Sorry this was long post but I was in the blogging mood and now I need to go prepare for the eventful week ahead!
Happy Spring Break!
