out of my mind...

A slippery day!

Freakin cold and slippery in Gothenburg today. I had my sweet Johanna who caught me before I sat down on my ass in front of the whole city. not used to ice ice baby anymore.
i caught up with some old friends of mine, you know that they're really your friends when you haven't seen them for awhile but it only seems like minutes. that's them.

Still on Cali time i believe cause Im falling asleep during the day and stay up at night. not that convenient now is it?!

last full day in Sweden tomorrow, and then back to Rome. Then god only knows where Ill go next. Let's just hope that 2010 will be better than 2009, but then again...Im sure it will be! This is it, this is going to be my year! ;)

flu season

So I went out on the 25th, the biggest reunion-partyday in Sweden. I had some reunion alright. Met my ex, who had just broken up with his girlfriend, and was now ready to get married and have kids, he asked me if I was ready too. ha! then since I always find myself in drama, his ex came up to me to have a chat. it was the weirdest thing, I've never seen her before in my life. but she was sweet, a bit confused I believe, I don't blame her, love makes us confused sometimes, and sometimes it's heaven, and sometimes it's hell. Anyway, I got a bit tipsy to say the least, and in the taxi back home to my girlfriend's I puked. very embarrassing! I haven't done that since me and my bestfriend were 18 I believe, now I did it again 10 years later. the only thing is that I didn't stop when I got into her apartment, no it got worse, and after have been laying on the bathroom floor for three hours I gave in and called my dad. It was the longest ride ever to get back to their house, also cause the salt truck (to clean the snowy roads) was driving right in front of us. All I can say is thank god my daddy had remembered to bring me something to puke in. cause I puked alright, until 3 pm the next day!
so sweet, im in sweden for 6 days and got sick on my second day! Im just terribly sorry that now I won't be able to see my friend and their newborns, well I guess I just have to get back here soon enough, before they turn one at least!

to the most difficult question in my life now and that everybody seems to ask me: what is my plan? yeah, what is it.... all i know is



venerdì 25 dicembre 2009

its....

snowing cats and dogs I believe. soon Im gonna take the car and drive to meet some friends in the city. help! don't know if I remember how to drive on snow, now that Im more used to California...

una canzone per me....

e nn me lo aspettavo eh... ahahaha



nono nn mortacci mia.... mortacci tua, ora sono i .... tuoi ;)

lots of love

and happiness I wish you all and a merry merry christmas.
someone very special to me reminded me today, that even though Im confused in life right now Im in a position that many people only could dream of, Im in snowy Sweden surrounded with my lovely family! I am happy! I am lucky! When Santa then came to ask me what I wished for...I told him... a nice and happy future! Let's hope he can grant my wishes for this year!
in the meanwhile... let's listen to this and dream away....



venerdì 18 dicembre 2009

sleeping

im still in bed. it's 4pm. i don't know if it is the fact that Im still on California time, or that I wake up during the nights still, or that im scared of my future.
talking about the future. have my dad on the phone, he put me on hold, twice. and when he talks he explains everything, in the tiniest detail. it gets really annoying, but he is my father so I have to listen, or at least pretend I do. sometimes I put him on speaker and do other things, like now. hahahaha. today he had to tell me that he had to go to a christmas luncheon. it took him 15 minutes to get to that, because before that he had to tell me about his employees and their traditions, where they're originally from, and that this summer they couldn't have the annual summer luncheon in this guy's new house, that my mom had helped them buy, but on that day their little daughter had ear infection, as my dad could recall, and therefore they were now having the christmas luncheon in their house today, but then my dad had to leave cause he had to work. wow. he's funny. btw i left out some other small stories he added in there, thought it was enough for you to read already.

my dad gave me the explanation to way im tired though, im exhausted. he's probably right. it's been hectic lately + all the emotions of leaving everything and coming back to rome. and when I packed the bags all the emotions came back too, well it's been a rollercoaster of emotions the past 9 months. and the ride is not over yet. right now I feel like Im at the top, ready to go down. scaaaary.

in other words: confusion big time!

Rome Sweet home?!

I'm back in Rome, it feels like I've never left. Only that it is cold, and my phone doesn't ring, cause it doesn't work. They gave my number away to someone else. weird. It's strange to be back, but good, I've missed my friends a lot! and Rome! ever since I stepped foot in California I couldn't wait to be back in Rome. Now that Im here and that I've experienced something else, it's not quite the same though.

It started at the airport in Rome once we landed. I parked my trolley close to the thing where the bag comes, cause they were many and heavy. around me there was plenty of space. however, these two women, in my age, decided to stand right in front of me, and placed their bags there too. I mean, how smart can you get? it has actually none to do with that. they had to do it, out of principal, cause they thought that I was American and they wanted to show me that here, they ruled. right. I only felt sorry for them, I didn't even ask them to move. Instead this really sweet girl behind me started to speak to me in English, I answered polite back in Italian, and all of a sudden the ladies in front of me disappeared, how funny is that?! my phone didn't work, so I asked this gentleman to lend me his, he did.

Another thing that Im not used to anymore, is all the comments, and looks. hahaha I had totally forgotten about them. annoying, it really is.

so day 1: slept all day. I didn't sleep on the plane cause it was a bumpy road. and the kid next to me couldnt wake his mother up, so he decided to wake me up instead. great! then i couldn't fall back to sleep. I was getting paranoid, also due to the fact that I hadn't slept the past 24hrs and was running on day 2 without any sleep. It even got to the point when I was ready to grab the phone and call my mom and tell her I loved them all. I didn't. thank god it didn't get that dramatic. only once again I realized that I am the drama queen, ha!
day 2: slept til 3 cause I don't sleep during the night. Had to drive in the Roman traffic once again. tougher than I was used to now. i was exhausted after 10 minutes, and then I had only made it about 500 meters, been yelled at and honked at a couple of times. almost put two people and a dog under the car (cause I looked in the rear mirrors) and almost hit a scoter. On my to fix my italian number, that I had accidently blocked, only to realize that I didn't remember the number anymore. Had to go back and find it. an hour later, i was back with the right number, when they told me i needed my social security number as well. hm, I should have known better, but obviously I hadn't brought it. They found it though! however, Vodafone had decided I've been away too long so it looks like they've given my number to someone else. great! now Im going to suit them, a friend of a friend did and got 3000 euros. it's worth the try, even if it might be another one of those great roman stories.

Welcome back to Rome! ;)

Stoked


Im stoked!! i just finished another online class-on SKYPE!
This was my favorite class too-marketing planning with professor Brian! Following from home was amazing! didn't talk as much as I usually do though. sometimes I put on mute, but he is on top of things the prof so immediately he made sure I was back tuned in.
I thought I was going to be able to work on the newsletter while I was listening to the class, but shame on me, that didn't work. ha!
I'm really gonna miss him and the class!
here I am on the white board, prof Brian looking at me while we are taking a picture for our case study for PONY shoes! Sweet!


another day on the couch

feeling much better today, no fever, more energy.
a good day to stay in and finish all of those projects for work and cases for school.
Start to send out my resume and hopefully get a job too!
it looks like its gonna be a productive day!

mercoledì 2 dicembre 2009

skype me!

Right now Im listening to our final presentations, from the couch snuggled in. I'm sooo disappointed that I can't be there. I really like the class and our team had done a great job!
Well I couldn't beat the fever, but I can still be there, virtually! that's what I call sweet!
(and the best part is probably that I can do other things like writing my blog, when there are boring parts, like now, this Indian engineer trying to talk about social media, he said that he found a new profession, but I do think that he should stick with his original one... sorry I'm just being honest! ;) and maybe a bit biased, cause he is not part of my team. ha!

not feeling fantastic

I'm not feeling fantastic right now. I have a terrible congestion and my body aches. It sucks, it really does. I have my final presentations this week and I have to present a PR case for two companies. Really exciting, but not now! I feel like shit, how will I be able to present and be convincing with a running nose and a whiskey voice? hahaha I don't know, but I'll let you know.

then a friend of mine asked me to help him ship a package. I asked him what it was, since Im really busy right now with everything both work and school, he told me that it was snowboard boots, and he had already shipped them to my house. I didn't have the chance to stop him. I knew that it was going to be a hassle already! now he's been annoying me every single day, cause he has to leave on Friday to go to Cortina and ski. That is typical Italian organization, it = 0!
He didn't think about the fact that I might not have the money to ship it right now, or the time to evaluate different shipping methods, and definitely NOT the time to get stressed over him calling, texting me 10 times a day to make sure that I shipped them. Especially now when Im already stressing out cause Im sick in bed and have to finish my school. Im really sorry but his f-ing snowboard boots are the last thing on my mind. I can assure you of that.
however, im on my way to ship them now so that I can get rid of it. god, I hate that i'm so nice sometimes! (or stupid maybe?)

It's a happy thanksgiving!

Woke up this morning with a christmas feeling, and I felt like a child. today is thanksgiving, im not american so i don't really celebrate it, but I remember the best thanksgiving ever in Florida. the best turkey, sweet potatoe and all the rest... mmm yummie... and the candles that smelled like christmas. that's the feeling I had this morning. So I grabbed my bike, and rode down to the beach, it was around 30*C and just amazing!
Happy thanksgiving people! Now im gonna go and prepare the turkey ;)

A Summer's day in Sun Diego


today was a b.e.a.u.t.i.f.u.l. day in San Diego. I can finally understand now why people want to come back here, if you would have asked me a couple of months ago, I wouldn't.
Now I can definitely see why.
I had an exam today, and a final project due. I decided to take my bike there, and took an extra ride on the boardwalk. the tourists are back cause it is thanksgiving. which was a bit annoying since I broke my pretty pretty ring-bell on my bike and had to ask them to move instead of ringing the bell. then lunch at 976, of course, and then finishing up the project. My team member is from Rome, and I too am a time optimist but we said at 2 pm, i show up at 2.30 and he shows up at ......5.15 when I was already at the printing place printing. =P
it was OK though, it didn't bother me cause it was just such a beautiful day and he had been out surfing, and I was high on medication. these american pain killers btw, are strong, i seriously felt funny today, and I had taken two of them, those vicidines..... not a good thing to do before an exam.... well, at least I had fun while writing it. ;)


venerdì 20 novembre 2009

a beautiful californian day

had my breakfast by the beach this morning. it was great. i've grown to like california more and more for each day. especially now during the fall. there are almost nobody around. this morning there were surfers in the water catching those clean waves. there were two kids running around playing by the waterfront and I was sitting there enjoying my caffe latte in t-shirt. then all of a sudden johnny knoxville past by on his bike. just random like that.
now im cleaning. haven't had time to do nor laundry nor cleaning for such a long time. I hope I'll finish soon so that I can take my yellow beach cruiser and go back to the beach. grab lunch at 976 and write that damn newsletter for work. right now pandora radio channel on thievery corporation is playing and filling my house and im just so happy to be alive. it's a great day!
yesterday i cooked a really nice dinner for my roomie, she is the greatest! when she moved in I started to live life again. people have even commented on it, that now I seem more relaxed and happy. I am.


giovedì 19 novembre 2009

a busy period

im busy, busy, busy now. it's finals and im leaving. packing up my life once again, and Im off! this time to destination unknow...
I have a destination, a place that I call home.... let's see if my home is still a place to call home though. time past... i changed. life changed, but did my destiny change? well it's soon to be revealed....

venerdì 13 novembre 2009

my second home

cafe' 976. great place, great vibes.
im also very productive, enjoying my lunch, watching my dear friend N laughing over something she is watching on the computer. this is gonna be a great day. i know it!


giovedì 12 novembre 2009

hug you

It's getting closer, my departure date for Rome. I can't wait. I start to picture myself again with my friends having wine on the piazzas, the dinners, the people, the traffic, I wish you could hug a city, if you could've I would've!
Im really really excited to go home. but also nervous. Im nervous of the clouds.....
hopefully Ill bring the sun at noon though. ;)

mercoledì 11 novembre 2009

destiny is destiny

woke up early early this past night as well. i admit, i'm about really stressed about becoming "an adult" I think that is why. My life is about to change again, and yet I don't know how much. Time will tell, as usual. Today has been a really good day though. it didn't do that much that I woke up early, I had the chance to speak to some friends in Italy, wrote some emails and sent some resume's.
I took an hour long bike ride in 30 degrees sunshine on the boardwalk. the water was beautiful and there were barely any people. then i went to what turned into my second home lately, cafe' 976 to look for some jobs. as funny as destiny sometimes is, actually it's more like a shoulder to lean on in confused times, you can't really do anything about it, you're just riding the wave. however my old boss was online so i asked him to help me look over my resume (since he gets to look at quite a few) while he was helping me he asked me "anna, but really, why am I helping you finding another job, when you were one of my best workers? why don't you just come back here?!" tempting. really tempting. we'll see. in the meanwhile I will continue my job hunting, so you guys out there watch out for my application it might show up in your inbox ;)

the world at my feet

I have the world at my feet. will be done in a month and I am free to go wherever I please.
now, great one might think, but for me there are waaaay too many options. I need directions. limited options maybe. I think I will have to follow my daddy's rule of thumb, make a check list with + and -. evaluate my options so to say. Im going to Rome in a month. This is the moment I've been waiting for since I moved to California. Sounds strange to you? Well, it could be, but not really.
All I know now is that hopefully in one month and a half, I will have a better clue on where Ill be in two months. I guess I just have to live with that thought now, and try and go back to sleep. It's not good to wake up at 4 am too often.....


lunedì 2 novembre 2009

my friend is just giving them away today so I thought I'd share;

//Never make somebody a priority

when your just an option!!//


//Those who think they know everything, annoy those of us that do!//


this one is mine though

//One of the keys to happiness is a bad memory//

weddings!


I received, what I think is the best "save the date" ever, from my old roomie. Well, I couldn't really expect less from her, she is the most creative woman I've met! She is also a fashionista from New York so you can only imagine how the wedding is going to be like. I would go only to see her dress and the brides' maids, and of course the groom too, Im sure that she will dress him in something extraordinary as well. It's not only gonna be the wedding but I guess more like a fashion show. Maybe Chanel and Burberry should book a front row seat already?!
Where the wedding is going to be at? At a sugar plantation in Louisiana! I just love it! While waiting for the wedding day, they put up a website so you'll be prepared! What is better than that? after all, it's supposed to be the day of your life no? so why not have your friends as excited as you about it. well, let me tell you that-I AM! can't wait!

however, that is not the only wedding I'll be attending next year....
there are another 2-3 weddings, gosh, instead of working next year I will be traveling the world for weddings! that is the "problem" when you have lived all over, you have friends from all over too, that invite you, well that is the best part of it!!! Maybe I should contact a publisher and tell them that next year I will write a book called, "My year with the weddings" or something like that.... (hm, gotta come up with a better title to that one...) the book will be about these weddings, imagine how fun that would be, you know there are ALWAYS things going on at weddings! and then maybe the ending of the year and my book would be my own......




post its


Im a sucker for post its. I gotta have them available at all times. or at least notebooks. cause I have millions of things running through my head at all times, and when I think of something, I have to write it down immediately. and Im very random. very. I can talk to you and then all of a sudden I switch the subject to something completely different. that's just a part of me. but to help you out though, so that you'll understand when im switching subject, I always say "oh just a paranthesis", makes sense or no?
so i got a tip today. it was this www.foundmagazine.com it's amazing, it is from normal people like you and I who have found notes and post its from other normal
people, on the street, and then they've sent it to this webpage. here is an example worth reading;
i was right no? maybe you should take a look! ;)


venerdì 30 ottobre 2009

i should've been somewhere else

tonight. but I can't leave the country. i was there virtually though. technology is fantastic! they all called me to make sure that I could be part of it anyway! love them!
christmas is knocking on the door though.... ;)





restless

Im restless. today I woke up, didn't really have to go to work, but obviously there are always things to do. so I went in to the office. it's nice to sit there with your collegues. and there is internet. while I was sitting there I received a nice message from an old friend. a sign? maybe. it gave me some hope and strength, and it made my day, until i got a phonecall, that topped that one! hihi a good day!

yesterday I went to buy some make up and I since I had bought for over 100 dollars, they gave me a free product. i picked "eye hope" with their philosophy:
"with new eyes, a new world can emerge. see the beauty in others and your days become magical. see the beauty in nature and preserve it with all of your heart and soul."
however, it is an advanced anti/aging creme. I thought that because of the numbers of my years, maybe it's time to start? ha.

on different time


i am. i must be. cause here I am again. up. it's past midnightish and im awake....
no, i gotta try and sleep. close my eyes and just drift away. right, if it would be that easy. i think i gotta count some sheeps before. and Ill probably arrive at 1 million...

not easy to be with

Im not easy to be with.... so




this is for that someone that listens to me, understands me and loves me. =)

slight panic

is what Im feeling right now. I'm done in a month! with both school and my contract for work. Where to go, what to do?! well, if I could decide with my heart, I would go back home to Rome, no doubt about it. But unfortunately the job situation is not that good there, with a 900 euro salary per month (if even). It's even worse if you are a girl, and foreigner like myself. Sexual harassment is not illegal in Italy, it's part of the day. So the only way would be for me to open my own company again, but see, that's what I've always wanted to do anyway. so maybe I should just do that!?
Isn't that why I choose to study business too, so that I could do a better job this time around? YES, it is! OK, so time for me to grow up, and actually face that Im closer to 30 than to 20. uhhhhh scary thought! but it's reality.
and it's about time to face reality my friends!





ehtos, logos and pathos

Logos (Greek for 'word') refers to the internal consistency of the message--the clarity of the claim, the logic of its reasons, and the effectiveness of its supporting evidence. The impact of logos on an audience is sometimes called the argument's logical appeal.

Ethos (Greek for 'character') refers to the trustworthiness or credibility of the writer or speaker. Ethos is often conveyed through tone and style of the message and through the way the writer or speaker refers to differing views. It can also be affected by the writer's reputation as it exists independently from the message--his or her expertise in the field, his or her previous record or integrity, and so forth. The impact of ethos is often called the argument's 'ethical appeal' or the 'appeal from credibility.'

Pathos (Greek for 'suffering' or 'experience') is often associated with emotional appeal. But a better equivalent might be 'appeal to the audience's sympathies and imagination.' An appeal to pathos causes an audience not just to respond emotionally but to identify with the writer's point of view--to feel what the writer feels. In this sense, pathos evokes a meaning implicit in the verb 'to suffer'--to feel pain imaginatively.... Perhaps the most common way of conveying a pathetic appeal is through narrative or story, which can turn the abstractions of logic into something palpable and present. The values, beliefs, and understandings of the writer are implicit in the story and conveyed imaginatively to the reader. Pathos thus refers to both the emotional and the imaginative impact of the message on an audience, the power with which the writer's message moves the audience to decision or action.

The above text drawn verbatim from Ramage, John D. and John C. Bean.

aristotle gave us some education. nice of him. no?! :) when we think about it though, ethos,logos and pathos are not only used in persuasive writing, but I believe that we use it in everyday life. but then again, this is my blog, so this is only my opinion. :)

my time is almost up

when i was in highschool i met this dear friend of mine. we had an agreement. the agreement is as follows; to get married by the age of 30 if we still weren't with someone else. he reminded me recently that he'll turn 30 next year.
my family would be thrilled. he charmed them on my brother's wedding, and that's where he charmed me to, to chris de burg's lady in red. sweet.

i hate them Im right

i hate that I am. right. almost all the times. it's my intuition. if I have a feeling about a person, it's like that. and I'm the one that in the end always says; "I hate to tell you I told you so."
This time i'm only relieved that I was right though.

shady

"something's shady, and I don't like shady!" quote from the city. watched the first episode today. nice. i like it, and I hate that I like it, cause now I want to continue watching it. i wanna live in new york and work with PR. for a while. then I wanna go back home, to Rome.
I don't wanna get stuck on watching stupid episodes of series though. cause I know I love them. seriously though, my life could be one too.

my quote




//Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.//

-R. Emerson

night owl


why is it that I, no matter how tired I am, wake up at 23.30-midnightish? EVERY night???
I was out for dinner, and almost fell asleep, not because of the company, but because I was sooo tired. then I got home, and sit down, do the normal facebooking/skyping (I know Im sorry, Im an addict) and then when everybody goes to bed, then my brain decides to wake up. it's just great! but I kinda like it. nobody around, im at home listening to my own music, as loud as I want (yes, Im wearing the headphones;)

and Im sitting here with my own thoughts.
this past year has been nothing what I thought it would be. the total opposite actually. well, not really, but kind of. it's been hard. difficult, and I've been angry, sad, upset, well I went through the whole spectrum of feelings
it's not easy. at all. it's like my life went from white to black. or the other way around.
then slowly, slowly I adapted. got used to my "new" life, my new friends, my new surroundings. but it has always been something that wasn't right.
it was probably me.

All I feel now, is that I'm really tired. not tired as in sleepy, but tired as in emotionally tired.

lunedì 26 ottobre 2009

a good day!

today I had a good day. monday morning meeting with the Swedes. Then lunch with my beautiful Laura who is here visiting me. I haven't seen her for two years but it feels like we never separated. I love her!
then i got some nice phone calls, then I did a little bit of studying (thank god I have a photographic memory=). Now Im actually in class. Shouldn't probably be writing (sorry prof!) but really, it's worse than learning Mandarine, and I was actually good at that, but with this SEO I don't understand that much, AND we are talking about blogging so I guess it's half okay, no?! ;)
after class we are gonna have sushi!
then tomorrow I will see my sweet, sweet Laura again!

domenica 25 ottobre 2009

heavy head

my head is really heavy today. went out with the swedes yesterday. and mamma mia, that's all I have to say!

sabato 24 ottobre 2009

my new tattoo

my new tattoo. it says "amor vincit omnia" love conquers all. it's true. i did it on a special day. my brother designed it for me. i just love it!

did i mention...

that all my really close friends who know every inch and bits of my life, good and bad, happy and sad, drama, yeah you name it - they know everything! then we have my other friends, whom I love very much too, but who don't know me that well that they know all of me (they should probably only be happy about that;) and then we have the brief friendships that I've made over the years, yeah all of them more or less, when hearing about my life and experiences, or just by hanging out with me, experiencing my crazy life with me, they all tell me, "Anna you should write a book, you're life is like a movie!" and my answer is always the same "Who would want to read about my life? + even if I did, nobody would probably believe it and think it was all made up anyway!"
Now I'm reading this book that there has been a buzz about; Eat, Pray, Love. and while reading it, Im thinking to myself. Gosh, she wrote a book about her life, people are reading about it, so why couldn't I? But then only to realize that she actually IS a writer, she is famous, AND she actually gets paid to write, so she can afford to put the time aside. not to mention her writing skills! who knows though, I might, one day, just do what people tell me to do, write that damn book. But really, would you read it?

again!?

I got an invitation on Facebook for an event in Sweden. it said that they would introduce a new shoe brand, and the people presenting it will be two of the most popular bloggers in Sweden, two 17-year olds!? I mean who cares about them?
Blogging is the new social media tool, everybody CAN do it, almost everybody IS doing it, but I doubt that no where else in the world, but in little Sweden, has it become that popular, and the bloggers become famous??? ahahha it's a joke! i really believe it is. I mean they are just normal people, writing about teenage things, and people read about it, the top blog had 380,000 readers (Sweden has a small population!) and this girl http://www.foki.blogg.se writes about her days and how now she has to travel Sweden to do promotions for stores and brands.
I find it pathetic. I'm sorry, no offense to her, not at all. she can't help that a whole population has nothing else to do but reading her blog. I mean, all cred to her, she is smart, she probably gets paid for it. But really? Her blog is not outstanding at all, she doesn't even write well.
btw, don't think I'm writing this because I'm jealous, cause Im not, I love to write in my blog, and I don't care how many readers I have, cause as my headline states, I don't write for my readers, I write for myself! ;)

my friend Angelo

is brilliant! he told me last year that he had started to paint. I was thinking that is great! i mean everybody has a hobby. then more and more often he told me that he was home to paint, so then I got more curious thinking it would be nice to see his paintings, i mean if they took up that much time of his, so i asked him to show it to me..... he seemed surprised that I was interested, then he said that he hadn't taken any pictures of it yet, so I told him to do it, cause I really wanted to see.
then one day he came to me and he said, anna I finally have some pictures, if you still want to see my art?! he showed me the pictures and I remained.......shocked! IT IS BRILLIANT!

see for yourself!

Obama wins the Nobel Peace Prize?

Wow, crazy, and as Mr. Obama said himself that he wasn't sure why he was awarded the prize. I second that. Why?
Someone told me it's because he knows people who knows people that are well connected and that knows people who give out the Nobel Prize. Gotta be something like that. Because what did Mr. Obama do for the peace? I do wonder. Or maybe because they couldn't find another one.

at university


today i was walking on campus and I felt like I was in one of those college movies. There were so many people around me and I was just walking around there by myself, observing all the new excited college students, ready to learn (or probably just have fun).
I went into the bookstore, for those who knows me and have experience shopping with me, they know that Im impossible, I get lost in my own little world and I got to look at everything, well with books it gets even worse cause I gotta to read them, touch them, smell them, look at the pictures. I can spend hours in there. So today I got not only the book I need for school, oh no, (i told you I have a shopping problem) i even got another book-Alice in Wonderland. Everybody calls me Alice in Wonderland, or Amelie, and now I've watched the movie, but I haven't seen or read about Alice, so when it was on sale today, i had to get it.

BTW i still haven't figured out how I can blog from my iPhone.....
