Miscellania

On Monday, January 19, 2009 I wrote this entry on this blog: "Dear Friend 010. Some days I wake up and I could kill you. I hate you for all of the little things, I hate you for the things you don't hate, (I hate you for not hating Sarah Palin , or at least recognizing how ridiculous she is.) I want to hit you, I want to rid myself entirely of you and any influence of you. Some days I wake up and I feel so sorry. I'm sorry for the stupid things I worried about, the stupid things I said, the little things I got angry with you about. I'm worried about you, I'm curious about your future plans. Taking myself completely out of the equation, I hope things go well for you. I feel awful for anything I've done to make things hard on you. I'm unhappy with the way I can't even talk to you anymore, nor you talk to me. Some days I wake up, and toss the blankets from my body. Your flannel shirt flows over me, and I'm more happy to have known you than I thought po...

"I think that little kids know something… I think they’re a lot braver than we give them credit for, because they’re willing to look straight at a thing that’s big and sad and beautiful, that is too much for us to look at when we’re a little older. And I guess when I write songs, I’m trying to write them from the place in myself that’s childlike. But not childlike simplistic, childlike in the opposite way, that kind of bigness of awareness that kids have. Like, the part of them where they’re watching the window and they’re not gonna tell their mom and dad and they’re not gonna tell the other kids, but like, they just saw a moment between two people sitting at a table and they know something about that moment and they’re going to remember it until the day that they die. " -Joanna Newsom Right now I'm at a point in my life where I'm beginning to really think and really explore the type of person I will be and the type of life I will live. I've been trying...

To Do: -Bite your tongue -Kill them with kindness

This weekend has been very fun. Prom was Friday night, and I actually won prom queen. Must have been all those episodes of Toddlers in Tiaras that I've been watching. Here're some pictures from that!

So... I gave it a try. & I've decided to come back to blogger. I've had a revelation about my blogging experience. I've never had many readers. I don't mind that. However I've yet to find my balance with blogging. I'll do it here & there for a while, then when my life gets busy and exciting I'll forget completely about it. Then things will get boring again for a while so I'll try a new angle. I'll be inspired by someone else's blog to post my writing on my blog, or to post fashion related musings. From now on I'm not going to make my blog like other blogs just because I like them. I'll post whatever I want whenever I want. Take that, blogging society!! So here is me taking initiative and showing you my room: (Note: My room is hardly ever this clean. My step brother and I cleaned our whole floor today. Looks spiffy.) Desk, computer, wall inspiration/decoration, trunk with laundry and books, etc. Chaussures Bright Eyes poster, recor...

This is kind of on a whim, but I'm feeling it's time for a change. This is my 250th post here on blogger and I think it's time for a new venue for my blogs. My new blog will be at wordpress.com http://miamazzaferro.wordpress.com/ See you over there! p.s. I will never delete this blog, especially because I've had it since 2007. I just think now is a fine time for a fresh start.

Be more like Emily Haines.

" Having your book turned into a movie is like seeing your oxen turned into bouillon cubes." - John LeCarre "Tell me what you read and I'll tell you who you are" is true enough, but I'd know you better if you told me what you reread. ~François Mauriac

For once I would like to go to confession & Hear the minister say that all my sins aren't forgiven. To have to face the facts and what I've done Because a clean slate doesn't fix a cracked one. Though my bridges are mended and the problems resolved I don't want to hear that all my guilt is absolved I want to embrace the fire set in my heart The sins I've created, I don't want a new start Each scar and callous on my apprenticing hands Mark maps to messes I have grown to understand. So when I read these psalms with my palms together, And I pray my penance; it doesn't make it all better. Instead I'll carry them with me, my faults and mistakes. To learn that though God will forgive me That's not all it takes. Mia Mazzaferro

"Be a river with me; 
Be the storm; 
the bend in the path; 
the front porch; the heat in the south; 
be a boot full of banjo strings; 
a fist full of written songs; a mouthfull of chocolate dust.
 When they come to take us,
 stab them between the eyes.
 Do not take your hand from around mine. -Anis Mojgani

Tonight I'm staying in to finally cross some items off of the to do list I made at the start of this week. I really want to order pizza but it feels a bit cruel in this awful (awesome) weather. Anyway, now I'm listening to Saves the Day albums hahah ok ok ok sorry Clean room/ Remove broken parts of desk and rescue my precious belongings from the pile of debris that resulted when I broke my desk. Oops. Clean D's room/Bathroom French Paper, Algebra Project, Religion Articles, English Paper, etc. Wrap Derek's birthday present/Make card Today I've been thinking a lot about how I can change up my room and really simplify. I guess not having a desk is simple...Here is a list of things I want/ want to do for my room: Gray (or white?) curtains like these . A bulletin board/cork board This A new jewelry case/organizer. Not really sure what I'm specifically looking for here though. OK, off to try and complete some tasks!

Esperanza Spalding is the Joanna Newsom of jazz music.

These are a few things that happened within ten minutes: -"Is this a case of a dinosaur trying to get street cred?" (One news caster to another.) -"This guy is either dying of AIDs or addicted to crack." (My mom. She is usually much more pleasant than this..) -A guy orbiting earth on a green screen -"The beauty of a circle." -My mom Think I'll stick with CNN...

In general, people either think I am exotic/gorgeous, but more likely they think I a,

Despite my swelling anticipation for the Puppy Bowl (VII) and I guess for all the food that comes with the actual superbowl later on, I have a lot on my mind. I have been seeing Ayn Rand's name everywhere this week. I just don't understand how people not only think she's not full of shit, but also agree with the shit she's full of. My brother Alex and I once checked out her wikipedia to see what she was really all about. On the wikipedia page for her book Atlas Shrugged, it says, "The book explores a dystopian Unites States where leading innovators, ranging from industrialists to artists, refuse to be exploited by society." How does that make any sense? If it is a dystopia, they would be exploited by society... Upon further research of her philosophy, I have come to the conclusion that she was not only completely clueless, but completely selfish as well. I apologize for the rant, especially if any of you numbskulls like this wet fart's writing. To those ...

Tons of snow. Literally. Tons. (We're on snowday #6 I think?) Laughing. Creeping. Denny's with C & T Cake boss bios in T's car Denny's didn't give us any spoons so T and I ate our yogurt with our fingers... K! E!

Woke up the other morning with a delicious breakfast idea. Here is what happened after that: Some fresh asparagus! Simmering water, which I turned into a vortex. While waiting for the vortex I cleaned the asparagus. Then I cooked 'em up in some olive oil and garlic. ET VOILA! Poached egg, toast, and asparagus! Felt like quite the grown up lady eating this and watching the news. I'm feeling for the people of Egypt. And though I am not suprised at all and he should have known, I'm feeling for poor Anderson Cooper's bruised beautiful behind.

HEY Y'ALL It has been so long and to be perfectly honest with you, I'm not sorry. I guess I am kind of sorry about not being sorry but I'm still not sorry about not posting. Enough about remorse- I'm doing great! So a lot of things have happened since I last posted (and I am sorry that I left you with some hot pictures of Jon Kortajorena (sp) and that was all.) In other news I got a new camera! I've taken some goofball pictures from the past few weeks and I'll post those later (they're nothing to be anticipating just some hang out pixxx) I kind of lost my mind these past few months. At first I was thinking about how I wanted to improve myself and be a better eperson and I had all these wonderful ideas and plans but then I started to kind of turn into Natalie Portman in Black Swan (I am referencing a movie I haven't seen yet...) and I started to hate myself. I started having anxiety about colleges and SATs and open houses. Then I realized my grades were ...
