I want to remind you to press play on the music box at the top... this blog is meant to be an audio and a visual experience. Plus, I have pretty good taste in music. ;)
What a wonderful day at a beach in Green Lake today! Warm sun, cold water, and snoozing time. I got even more of a tan--this summer is quite an accomplishment for me.
I'm beginning to REALLY dig down and go through all of my room in preparation for the move now. While I was doing this, I found some quotes that I would like to share (so that I can throw them away and just keep them on here...ha).
These are from a calendar I got for Christmas in 2010 from my dad called "Wild Words from Wild Women".
1) "The historical St. Valentine was clubbed to death, you know." -Lynne Truss, grouchy grammarian.
2) "I'm an actor! An actress is someone who wears boa feathers." -Sigourney Weaver, a real character.
3) "A sensible woman should be guided by her head when taking a husband, and by her heart when taking a lover." -Ninon de Lenclos, oft-quoted courtesan.
4) "There are so many girls, and so few princes." -Liza Minnelli, Hollywood royalty.
5) "You need that guy like a giraffe needs strep throat." -Ann Landers, dispenser of syndicated advice.
6) "I don't wanna be a hot girl--I wanna be iconic." -Beyonce Knowles, singer of substance.
7) "I'm really exciting. I smile a lot, I win a lot, and I'm really sexy." -Serena Williams, champ of chutzpah.
8) "Sweat is my sanity." -Sarah Palin, on the joys of jogging. (Jogging is NOT my sanity...)
9) "A lot of people have told me I'm special, and I don't argue with them because I don't like confrontation." -Stefanie Wilder-Taylor, tell-all blogger.
10) "All your age says about you is how long you've been alive." -The Reverend Dianna Gwilliams, wed to a man eighteen years her junior. (I disagree; age only says how many years you've been breathing!)
11) "If God wanted us to be naked, why did he invent sexy lingerie?" -Shannon Doherty, Hollywood hell-raiser. (Shoutout to 90210!)
12) "I will be the mere instrument of pleasure to no man. He must make a friend and companion of me, or he will lose me." -Harriette Wilson, mistress to many a nineteenth-century noble.
13) "I live with carpe diem engraved on my heart." -M.F.K. Fisher, forward-thinking foodie.
14) "Identity is not found the way Pharoh's daughter found Moses in the bulrushes. Identity is built." -Margaret Halsey, literary lampooner.
15) "I can do to him whatever I like. I'm allowed to torture him as much as I want. He's mine." -J.K. Rowling, on her beloved Harry Potter.
16) "Sometimes, I think that no matter how hard I work, it will be attributed to how I look." -Gloria Steinem, America's most famous feminist.
17) "If I had a family motto, it would be 'Do What You Want, You Will Anyway.'" -Tama Janowitz, erstwhile Lit Girl
18) "A girl should be two things: classy and fabulous." -Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel, who followed her own fashion.
19) "Conversation may be compared to a lyre with seven chords--philosophy, art, poetry, politics, love, scandal, and the weather." -Anna Brownwell Jameson, nineteenth-century art critic
BONUS: "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere." -Martin Luther King Jr.
20) "Let's be honest--a wedding is absolutely the worst way to start a married life." -Caitlin Moran, current affairs columnist. (Stress and debt?!)
21) "Appealing workplaces are to be avoided. One wants a room with no view, so imagination can meet memory in the dark." -Annie Dillard, American essayist.
22) "I find low self-esteem incomprehensible. Why hate yourself, when you can hate others?" -Amy Ashton, mirth maker.
Plus there's another quote I just found in my room that I think is really fitting for this period in my life;
"And now I will close up my book and stand, my chin as high as Queen Matilda's, and I will step bravely into my terrifying, exciting future" -"A Brief History of Montmaray" by: Michelle Cooper
I hope you enjoyed those! Now I can throw them away and clean out my junk drawer! Goodnight!
XOXX,
Lizzie
p.s.. here is a drawing I did last summer!
