chilly december
stash of cash. I'm making money @ my new job.
waitressing at a german restaurant,
wearing a beer maid dress and white stockings.
6 days a week.
I'm going to buy a new phone & contract. :)
I need a boy friend.
but I don't need to be in love...
My sister's here. she came here for christmas.
I love her, we have so much fun.
& she doesn't mind sneaking me beers @ bars.
Tonight we poured brandy in our coffee & made fun of how
the sugar container in our house looks like an Urn for ashes.
We stuck a post-it note on it. It reads "great aunt mariel"
then we scattered rose petals around it.
haha. highlight of the the night!
I was given one of Brandon Boyd's books for christmas...White Fluffy Clouds.
Its not what I thought it would be
& I also don't like the way it smells.
The smell of a book matters to me.
I love the smell of most books, and you should if something
is going to be that close to your face for a period of time,
but this one smells off...
I almost hoped it would smell like men's cologne.
My sister gave me "the lovely bones" to read.
I wanted to read it before I see the movie so I'm excited to finish it.
It's very sad and very beautiful.
I love the authors creation of what heaven is like for the main character
in the book.
She made heaven to be this place that reminds me of my dreams...
where some things are familiar but slightly different from reality
& heaven expands to everything you've always wanted and loved
everyones heaven smells of their favorite smell...
and you share your heaven with people that want the same things
but they disappear when they're in a part of their heaven that you both don't share...
fantasticly poetic. I wish i could explain it better
read the book.
My dad gave me a book entitled "but nellie was so nice"
the cover has an illustration of a middle aged woman with a large knife
going through her.
with x's for eyes because she is of course dead.
it's a murder mystery
I got a good laugh when I opened it.
The funniest present I got was a hoodie from my father
that says "I <3 nellie"
Yes my dad had a theme going with my name.
It's a little bit too pretentious and embarrassing to wear in public
really? you <3 yourself?
or maybe people who don't know my name will ask me
"nellie? where is that exactly?"
I'm wearing it right now though, in the seclusion of my bedroom.
My sister and I went to go see Sherlock Holmes tonight
even after she said she was boycotting the film.
She wanted to see Avatar
but I told her i didn't want to see a movie about smurfs.
she finally gave in
& even though she's a die hard fan for the old classic sherlock holmes movies
I don't think she thought it was half bad.
She described it as "entertaining".
and it was.
but of course they build up the sexual tension
between Holmes played by Robert Downey Jr
and his American criminal lover played by Rachel Mcadams.
Then they cruely leave you without a sex scene.
Oh well. I guess some things are better left to the imagination,
but you will not be disappointed by a shirtless muscly Robert Downey Jr.
You're like a blow torch.
And I've just turned you back on.
I like to stare at your pretty blue flame
But I know better than to touch you
Even though I want to
I know you'll burn me the worst.
I'm leaving with nothing else to say.
good night.

7 days
Life is so boring right now. so predictable. I don't have much in common with most of the people in my life. We're never on the same level but I'm still making an effort to be a good friend to those who are still around. I'm trying to be the change I want to see but my efforts to meet and reach out to new people often end up in disappointment or rejection. I don't take rejection seriously. My self-esteem is not effected by it but it's sad to see that most of the people are come across are reluctant to start up conversation given the opportunity. The same is to be said for men. They are also boring and predictable. They're either too passive or too aggressive. They talk about themselves too often. They never act their age. I've sort of become open to the idea of open relationships. I'm convinced it's the only way I won't be bored. I recently found myself being bored with a person I never ever thought I would let go of. It went on for a while, whatever it was but I'm not really sure if the they're concerned with me anymore either. As for the others, I wonder how they feel after I never answer their phone calls or messages. Just cut myself out of their lives completely with no explanation. I just never feel like I owe anyone an explanation after only one week. Thats usually the time constraint on how long I stay interested in one person. One week. Apparently we know instantaneously when we meet someone, whether we could spend the rest of our lives with them, and I'm sure that's true. I'm sure we can spot potential when we see it if our heads aren't clouded with any variables that would sway our judgement but maybe we let some things go on for a little while for our own amusement or pleasure because we have no intention of being serious. I'm sure when I finally find someone who shares similar interests and a similar thought process then it will lengthen. I'm sure I won't remain so apathetic once I find someone who I can take seriously and who is deserving of my time. I can't even take this blog seriously. It feels like another explanation to people whom I don't owe anything. Keep on truckin'.

hate list
I hate the sound of the back door shutting. I hate open cupboards. I hate my conscience always making me fear trying new things. I hate dirt under my fingernails. I hate the smell of old ladys' perfume. I hate fast food. I hate girls who possess all the stereotypical girl-like behaviors. I hate easily excitable people. I hate insecure girls who are constantly looking for the attention any man that will it give it to them no matter how off limits or how little of a connection there is between them. I hate humidity. I hate my hair getting stuck to my lipgloss. I hate your girlfriends. I hate being in love with someone I can't have. I hate that I'm nice to people who I don't give a shit about. I hate conversation when it's forced. I hate friendships that are forced. I hate boys who talk about themselves and never take the time to ask you questions in return. I hate that I ever kissed you, I think your a loser and I hate thinking about how you might have lied to your friends and said we slept together. I hate dirty couches in seedy houses. I hate that you used the word seedy that one time. I hate that I ever let you touch me, I was drunk everytime and it would never ever happen again. I hate monkeys. I hate small dogs with long fur like shitzus and Pomeranians. I hate most girls who are younger than me. I hate remembering embarrassing moments or foolish things I've done in the past. I hate rednecks. I hate white people who want to be black. I hate girls with ponytails with their hair sprayed down and large fake hoop earrings. I hate heavy breathing. I hate ugly people who don't know they're ugly. I hate cigarettes and I hate that I smoke. I hate that you won't text me back. I hate that you texted me over and over again even though I never answered a single one, take a fucking hint. I hate how insecure you are and the jeans that you wear. I hate dirty tile floors. I hate it when people have their feet on my bed while wearing shoes. I hate being woken up earlier than my alarm is set for. I hate being asked unnecessary questions. I hate the color of my walls. I hate that you live so far away. I hate that I have nothing in common with my friends. I hate that I am not famous. I hate that I can't sing anymore. I hate that I don't have a phone plan. I hate people who text other people while I'm trying to have a face to face conversation with them. I hate pretending I'm your friend. I hate saying yes to everything. I hate my lack of ambition. I hate hearing horrid stories on the news. I hate that smoking pot gives me anxiety. I hate headaches. I hate that my teeth hurt. I hate that I can't get a job. I hate that I am always thinking about you. I hate that you check up on my twitter and my deviantart and my myspace all the time. I hate that my hair is never the exact color I want it to be. I hate that my eye color looks grey all the time. I hate that I'm grey all the time. I hate grey skies. I hate not being able to see the stars. I hate popcorn ceilings. I hate dust and dusting. I hate wet food in the sink. I hate it when I catch you staring at my tits. I hate that you think you have me all figured out. I hate that I can't touch you. I hate that I will never figure you out. I hate how insecure my family makes me feel. I hate trying to impress people. I hate that you are so fucking loud and always trying to be the center of attention. I hate cracking my knuckles. I hate it when my foot falls asleep. I hate seeing how materialistic you've become. I hate seeing how materialistic the rest of the world has become. I hate that I can't concentrate when I try to read. I hate that I can't find anything else to love...

thrifting
I went thrift store shopping with my mother today. She went looking for more things to sell in her antique store, run by her and my father, and I went looking for more things to sell on ebay. We went two 4 stores and ate lunch at dunkin donuts as it is our mother daughter tradition. :)

Vintage Faux Fur Cape (click here)

Cute little pencil charm broach (click here)
Click here to browse through the rest of the items.
The good thing about these is that if they don't sell, oh well I get to keep them or my parents can put them in their antique store.

Things I bought for keepsies:



I paid like $2 for these chopsticks. There's 10 pairs in this package and the broken English on the back of the package is pretty funny.
6 little Buddah statues all in different poses. They were only a dollar but I don't really know what to do with them. Maybe I should have an Asian themed party?
Then there's a few things I stole out of my parents store with the intention to sell, but ended up keeping:

Cute vintage metal hair bow clip.

bird necklace

Blue metal mesh purse

Gold metal mesh purse.
Anyway thats it. hope you enjoyed and had a look around the ebay store :)
love nellie

cute vintage for sale ^_^
I'm selling cute vintage stuff on ebay. browse if you would like clickity splickity!
Selling stuff because I need some cash for all exciting things happening in the next few months.
For weeks I've been thinking I went back to school today, the 24th, but was happily mistaken! So yes I had been stressing for no reason because I have another week left but this makes me appreciate more than I would have if I knew I was going back on the 31st. So classes begin next Monday and I'm looking forward to a night art class I'll be taking on Thursdays. The class I'm least looking forward to is speech. I've realized in the past 2 years that it turns out I'm not as good at public speaking as I thought I was.
On Sept 4th I'm hoping to go on a road trip! with one of my very best friends. We've known each other since the first grade. Aw we're so cute! We became really close friends in middle school, then I moved away :( But I still get to see her every once in a while, and this will be one of those once in a whiles. We're going to Jacksonville for a weekend and staying in the Ritz, her friend can get us a discount. :) ahh so exciting. We're really sarcastic with eachother, we laugh until we pee ourselves ( no literally, I once peed myself at her house because she makes me laugh so hard) and somehow we always end up finishing eachothers sentences. She's just that much fun and I'll be untamely exciteable if everything goes as planned.
Then in October I plan to go all the way to Lynchburg Virginia to visit my two friends, Winter and Corin. They're sisters and fight all the time, so I hope I don't end up getting dragged into any arguments but it will still end up being fun. Winter graduated with me and goes to college at Liberty University. Ironically enough, a few people who I knew from the school I used to go to in south Florida also attend that college. It always awkward running into someone who you used to be good friends with but havent seen or spoken to in years. I'm not really one for awkward situations. I like to avoid them, but its a large campus so it might not be so bad. Anyway, Winter and Corin want me to come visit them in Virginia during "College for a weekend" which is held at Liberty University and allows people to come check the campus and stay in the dorms for a weekend. Should be fun.
Lastly, I'm really hoping that Halloween will be fun this year. I want a really good costume and I still havent decided on what to be and I'd also like to wear that costume to Halloween Horror Nights in Universal Studios because even though I have been living in Florida for 18 years, I still have not had a chance to go to that and I'm always envious of anyone who does, so this year, it's a definite goal. Here's to hoping I can meet all of them.
