Current Obsessions

Anyone who knows me knows that I obsess over things. Unfortunately it seems by the time that all my friends learn that I am obsessed with chocolate covered gummy bears, I've already moved on to my watermelon addiction. Anyways I thought I'd share my current obsessions because in my opinion they're all really cool.

Books/ Authors That I'm Currently Obsessed With:

• Well I just read Peter Pan by J.M. Barrie for the first time. It was amazing and fun and short so it's perfect for summer.
• I'm currently loving Scott Westerfield. I just recently read one of his books for the first time and I loved it. After that I've loved every other book that I've read of his. I've only read Uglies from the Uglies series, but I want to read the rest of the series soon!
• I reread A Great and Terrible Beauty by Libba Bray at the beginning of the summer and read A Sweet Far Thing. Both are amazing! The second book in the series, Rebel Angels, got lost somewhere so I haven't had a chance to reread it but it's just as great as the other two.

Music/ Musicians I'm Currently Obsessed With:

• If you've never heard Owl City then I feel very sad for you. My favorite song is "Saltwater Room".
• I got The White Tie Affair's Walk This Way for my birthday and I think I know all the words to every song now. It's addicting and fun and makes you look really stupid when you sing and dance along to it in the car.
• Lady Sovereign is always one of my favorite musicians. It's impossible for me not to dance to "Adidas Hoodie".
• "Dark blue. Dark blue! Have you ever been alone in a crowded room?" Jack's Mannequin is pretty amazing.
• "Gravity" by Sara Barreilles. I love her music and this song is just as great as every other song I've heard by her. And if you watch So You Think You Can Dance, well you can guess which dance was my favorite.

Movies:

• Okay what person is not excited about the new Harry Potter movie?! I mean it's going to be amazing! I'm going to the midnight premiere with my friends and I wont even look at anyone dressed up in costumes strangely, because I completely understand and I would wear a costume too- if I had one.
• I've been meaning to see Public Enemies and My Sister's Keeper but I haven't had a chance to see them yet. I've heard both we're really great and I can't wait to see them.
• I'm also looking forward to seeing Julie and Julia on August 7th and Post Grad on August 21st.

My Clothing/ Shopping Addictions:

• Anything vintage or found in a thrift store or handmade. It's about being unique and if possible cheap.
• http://www.etsy.com/ has really great handmade and vintage things for sale. It's sort of like eBay but much much cooler.
• I also love everything on http://www.poshgirlvintage.com/. It's all vintage and has tons of great stuff. It's a little out of my price range but hopefully once I get a job I'll be able to buy some cool things.
• This should be no surprise to anyone who knows me but I love Converse. I wear my Chuck Taylor All Stars all the time! They also have these really cool All Star Light Skimmers which I think would look really cute with a mini skirt or dress.

I LOVE FOOD Addictions:

• Nutella is like the best thing on the planet ever. I put it on my waffles, pancakes, toast, apple, strawberries- anything. It is deliciously deliciousness!
• I like to snack of sugar snap peas with blue cheese salad dressing. It is so yummy and a good snack.
• Sushi is good. People need to get over the whole raw fish thing and just try it! I love sushi and if you want a small meal then it's pretty good. I don't actually really like wasabi but in small amounts I find it's alright. Don't get me wrong- I love spicy, but I think wasabi is too overpowering with sushi and it kinda tastes like cardboard.

Activities and Fun Things That I'm Obsessed With:

• Well, really what I do with my free time is enjoy all my other obsessions and watch YouTube videos. YouTube is pretty awesome and there are always new people and new videos to watch which pretty much means there is always something to entertain you.
• Other than that there's t.v. I really like Royal Pains, which is about a doctor in the Hamptons and Mental, which is about a doctor who works in the psych ward. Doctor shows are usually really great. Planet Green is a cool channel to watch when you're bored.
• Solitaire!!!! There are three things that make this game awesome. 1. You can play it alone at 1:30 in the morning in your pajamas. 2. The rules are easy enough to remember. 3. The cards do that cool jumpy thing when you win!

So maybe listen to some music and go shopping for something vintage. Then you can go out and see an awesome movie and eat some great food. It's sort of what I would do if I had any spending money. Instead I'm going to do algebra, which I am so not obsessed with!
