Man, sorry I've been MIA guys. Technical difficulties coupled with working on tax-free weekend makes it a little hard to keep track of things!
Okay. So here's what I've got for you kids today.
ONE: Challenges.
Man, they piled up on me!
- Okay, so for the pictures of my room, I also have an excuse. Well, not really an excuse, per se...more of a proposition. I'm living at my parents' house for the summer, but I move back to Rome in a week and a half. So I'm thinking I'll just wait until I'm in my new townhouse and I'll post pictures then. Of the whole HOUSE if you so desire. But in the meantime, there's a [really old] video on my rarely-used youtube channel of the house I lived in this past year. So you can feel free to check that out.
- Uh...pokemon name? Wow. I think I'll have to think on that and save it for next week's post. Because I've got NOTHING. Coming soon to a blog near you.
- And apparently I'm supposed to suggest a book to Lysky based on her favorite book genre? Hmm...on the YA front, I'm not too well versed. I've got a long list I'm meaning to get to. I've heard tons of great things about Scott Westerfeld's Pretties/Uglies/Specials series, and that's probably what I'm going to check out next. Of course I don't know a single nerdfighter that doesn't love Hitchhiker, if you haven't read it. And the newest David Sedaris book is HILARIOUS. I like it better than his last one.
And as far as my book tastes go...I'll pretty much read anything. I'm always a fan of classics, and I'll certainly commend you if you can suggest one I haven't read. I love crazy stuff like Hitchhiker and David Sedaris storytelling-type things. I've been all over that style lately.
TWO: Questions, etc.
I figured I'd answer my own questions, as well as the other ones that have been mentioned.
Favorite TV shows: I've recently become addicted to Psych. Its AMAZING. But also...Will & Grace, Sex and the City, Scrubs, Lost, Doctor Who, The Daily Show, The Colbert Report, Project Runway, Sheer Genious.
Style: Well, I mean, I like to think I have pretty good fashion sense, but I'm more into what I know is flattering more than absolutely sticking to what's 'in'. A lot of my inspiration comes from very classy, vintage glamour, but a bit more edgy and personalized. I can take some wardrobe pictures if you want. Ha.
Day vs Night: I'm definitely a night person. Obviously. I'm writing this at 2:30 in the morning. I'm a bit of an insomniac, really.
Coffee vs Tea: I love both, but I'm a coffee addict. Between 2-4 cups every morning. Plus, I just love the taste of it. I drink it black, usually. Although I do love Caramel Macchiatos.
Favorite Cheese: Feta is amazing. And ricotta. And I've been known to have a dinner consisting of just Brie on baguettes.
Last thing I bought: Uh...one of those Rockstar Mocha things. Its like an energy drink...but its coffee...I don't know. But its good.
Twilight: Team Edward, as far as Bella is concerned. But if I had to pick for myself...? God, I would have a seriously hard time choosing. As much as Edward feeds the hopeless romantic in me, I think Jacob would be so much more fun, and is more my type. But then again, I haven't read Breaking Dawn yet because I'm broke and can't buy it yet. But I'll keep you posted.
THREE: Movies.
So Karen suggested that I make a list of classic movie recommendations, and I am TOTALLY all over that! Here's my list of must-sees that I can think of off the top of my head. Feel free to add anything else you guys feel like everyone should see in order to be allowed to live on this earth.

hmm I know Karen's supposed to do the book suggesting, but if you like David Sedaris, I'd try some Laurie Notaro, she's hilarious and her books area about the same kind of style as his. They go in order, but I read "I Love Everybody and Other Atrocious Lies" first, and it is my favorite.
I also totally aggree with you on the Jacob/Edward thing...like for Bella Edward is necessary, but I don't really like talking about romantic things [just reading about them :D], so Jacob would be more fun/comfortable for me.
Also MIA has been like owning my ipod lately. :D Paper planes is my favorite.
Oh, thanks! I'll definitely check her out. I'm always looking for new stuff to read. :)
Wow your movie list is long o_o And yes, I agree with the ricotta
Oh, wait. Did you do a challenge? I can't find it!
