Confessions: This Little Crazy Person...

Confession time, ladies.

//I am a total sucker for science fiction. *sigh* I'm such a nerd.

//I didn't realize until today that the L on the Staples sign ( you know the store?) is actually supposed to look like a staple. When I realized this I almost smacked my forehead and yelled "DUH!" in the middle of a conversation with my mom.

//I wish so badly that I could eat chocolate all day. I've fantasized about it before, no joke. Maybe one day I'll take one whole day just to eat chocolate. Just like one day I'm gonna take a whole twenty-four hours to talk in a British accent. Or even better, I could do them both in one day. 

Wow. I like that idea.

//I started watching Christmas movies in October. *winces* yes, I know. I know! I'm such a bad girl. But it just can't be helped. Christmas is amazing. Amazing amazing amazing amazing aMAHzing.

//my favorite Christmas movie happens to be an extremely cheesy ABC family movie. But I mean, come on, it's about a girl who can go inside a magical snow-globe full of totally awesome-ness and finds a weird dude that's odd but so nice and has the perfect Christmas but then finds another guy in real life that's so super nice and then she can have ANOTHER perfect Christmas and then lives happily ever after.

Um. Awesome much?

//I want to marry Fred Weasley of Harry Potter so much. I love that guy. He's so cool I don't even know how to say it... that's why I cried like a baby in the 7th Harry Potter book. :(

//Today, when I was running on the treadmill, I was imagining in my head that I was Fred and George Weasley's best friend. I was jumping up and down and doing weird things, like sneaking into the kitchens in Hogwarts and going through the one-eyed witch passage way to sneak into Hogsmeade. And all of it on the treadmill. If someone had walked in on me, they would have thought I was CrAzY. Yes. I know.

How I love the twins... ♥

//I have horrible handwriting. Always have, always will. Ironic how I can draw so well yet write so bad. Now how did that happen?

//I drew a birthday present for my bestest friend ever... and I haven't even shown it to her yet. Her birthday was three days ago y'all! I'm mad at myself. I've told her all about it and I planned on giving it to her friday, but it didn't happen. I am a bad friend. *puts on cone of shame* 

//I feel like, if I don't win this giveaway, I'm going to buy this necklace (or one like it) anyway. I seriously have no words to give you. Just look at it. 

♥

//I say awesome and amazing too much. I know you probably already noticed that... but it's still a confession. 

//I think this picture completely sums up my book obsessions:

//I just totally forgot about my tea and now it's freezing cold. :(

//I've been on the computer for somewhere around an hour or longer

//and I probably should get off. ;)

So, theres you go's friends. Confessions of moi, that little crazy person. :D

Be crazy and dream of Fred Weasley!

Thanksgiving!

Today, as everybody in America knows, is Thanksgiving day!

...I've seen about every blog I follow post a thanksgiving post about things they're thankful for...

so I feel compelled to do the same.

I'm thankful for...

my friends

my awesomely amazing family

my trip to Disney world

wonderful food

my mom who cooks the wonderful food

 Harry Potter (the books, as I've said before, are awesome. And I can't put them down. This is the third or fourth time I've reread them, but I just can't stop!)

 my best friends that I know well enough to squeeze just like that

my other best friend who lives too far away to squeeze like that, but who I give a mental hug every single day <3

my blog design. I love it. And I won't change it again... right. I won't!

buffalo dip sauce stuff with fritos... I plan on putting the recipe on a new post soon. It's just so amazing I MUST share it with y'all!

Hot tea on a cold day... while I watch Pretty Little Liars of course.

curly hair

me learning to curl my hair in an extremely pretty way yesterday

 

this picture ^ it cracks me up!

charlie brown. Can you tell? Isn't charlie brown the spirit of thanksgiving? ;)

school... but only because I wouldn't be able to read without it. haha!

but I'm also thankful for NO school this week. A good break is always nice.

chocolate. Chocolate anything is always amazing.

 annnddddd...

 

last but not least... 

that tomorrow will officially will be the beginning Christmas season! At least for me. I've been waiting for too long. :D

There's my list! Which is a very crucial thing on thanksgiving day. :)

Be Crazy y'all (And have a Happy thanksgiving!),

Claire

So I'm back...

...and I have, yet again, made a new design for my blog. I decided I would make another one just because my old one was way too fall-ish for the weather we've been getting. It's been feeling so much like Christmas lately.And also... well I renamed the blog, too, obviously. Pixie dust just wasn't working too well-- and I really like this one. Crazy High. Get it? Cuz I'm crazy high! :D lolz!

If you know me personally, then yes, I think you will like that title. 

;D

The past few mornings I've been enjoying Christmas tea with my favorite book: Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. Amazingest book ever!! I don't know what it is about them, but the Harry Potter books are, to quote a boy from my church, "the essence of Christmas itself". They are amazing. The end. (... I don't know why, but whenever I type "the end" 90% of the time I accidentally end up typing "then end"... I dunno I just thought it was weird that I do that every time. I just had to tell someone because it makes me laugh every time I do it. ;)

Okay, so as you should know from my last post, I went to Disney World!!!!!

Oh, sorry that screaming in your ear was me. It carries pretty far. ;)

haha, anyways, it was SO much fun. And I have WAAAAAYYY too many pictures. Way too many. Way WAY too many.

It's a lot.

(Half of which probably won't even ever be used... :/ )

Would you like to see some of them? because I really don't want them to go to waste.

Cinderella's castle!!

going inside... :D (sadly, it wasn't open very much. We only got to go through it once :( )

Splash mountain!!!

yes, this was the wait time for a LOT of the rides. Plus we had fast passes (most amazing things ever. Trust me, if you ever go to Disney, fast passes are the way to go.)

 me and my mom actually got two free fast passes. it was so cool! When we picked up the ones we were waiting in line for, the little machine spit out two extra for another ride. Disney is amazing, no?

And guess what? The Christmas decorations were up! They were so beautiful.

*sigh*

and guess what else?

They're building Beast's and Prince Eric's castles!!!! I'm sorry, that was one too many exclamation points... but that's how excited I am about it. It won't be ready for another year I think it was. Either 2012 or 2013... can't remember. But it'll be really awesome!

Beast's castle!

and the beginning of Prince Eric's castle.

*Sigh*

I just can't wait to see them.

Well, that's about all the pics I'm going to put up right now. I'm ready to go grab a snack and read my book and maybe even watch an old episode of Pretty Little Liars.

Yup, sounds good to me.

:D

November is Here and Here's What's in it...

It's November 3rd, and I'm sitting here wondering where the heck the year's gone. I've been reading posts about this and how fast it's gone by, so I think everyone can sympathize with me here when I say I wish it would slow down so that I could grasp the moments that keep slipping by.

And what moments are these? The small ones of course. The small moments when your little brother says something so funny your parents start laughing and they can't stop, or when you finally play your Bach piece on the piano without sounding like a dying duck, or when you take just ten minutes in the morning to enjoy nice, hot mint tea. It's the moments when you draw something that you're so proud of and can't wait to show your best friend, or when you're in the middle of a classic book that just keeps getting more and more enticing, or the nice cool showers after a long, sweaty run.

It's the small moments that I want to keep this month. I plan on taking them and holding them close. They're good weapons against the bad days and irritable moods. ;)

And now my Disney countdown has begun! I leave for Disney World in exactly nine days!

I've been talking and talking and talking about it all week, and I just. can't. wait! I know, I know... some people may think that Disney World is a place for kids, but it's not. It's a place of memories for me and the many other families out there. It's not about the rides as much as the memories-- and the SMELL. "Disney smell" as my family calls it is something so indescribable. I wish they could bottle it up and I could take some home. It reminds me of being a little girl when we went on the big family trips. Everybody on my mom's side would go to Disney World for a big, special trip and I just remember having so much fun. 


I'm about to explode just talking about it.

But in the meantime, I'm off to my church's high school fall retreat tomorrow, and I'm pretty excited! It'll be different for me though, because most of my friends are still in middle school and won't be coming obviously, but it's a good time to make new friends, right? And I still have my two friends Sophie and Kate. They rock, because they both decided to come just so that I wouldn't be lonely. I love them to death. <3

*me and my middle school buddies before the Taylor Swift concert this year! It was sooo fun. I'm the one with the cowgirl hat :D notice how I'm shorter than almost all of them. haha!*


Oh! And I also made a video like I said I would in the poll. It's not so much a "how to" video as it is a "this is me drawing" video. Unfortunately, I don't have a camera on my computer or anything so I couldn't take pictures of it actually being colored in, but I showed you how I drew in with a pencil. :) I usually take a picture of it once I'm done with my phone and then email it to myself, then I save it on the computer and upload it onto picnic.com
Once I do that, I mess around with the exposure, and go to "effects". If you scroll all the way down you can find the "Pencil Sketch" setting. Click on that and then apply. Then scroll down a bit more and you'll find the "doodle" effect, and you can play around with the different colors and settings and stuff. It's actually really fun once you get the hang of it. I hope you enjoy the video :D


Also-- I'm thinking about doing one of these videos once or twice a month. What do you think?

*the color edit*

Isn't the song so cute? My sister's boyfriend showed it to her, and she showed it to me. It's my favorite now!
What's your favorite song?

Hugs and Pixie Dust--
