Happy birthday!

Happy birthday to the boy wizard and magnificent author who have forever changed my life. If only you knew how much they have changed my life, all for the better. You cannot even begin to imagine.

Happy birthday Harry James Potter and Jo Rowling.<3

Beverly Hills.

I'm leaving for Beverly Hills again in a couple and hope to run into more arrogant celebrities.

Earthquake!!

There was an earthquake today. I thought it was just me, being all off balance and tipping over. Then I looked on the floor and it was shaking and everyone else was freaking out. AWESOME.

I love AOL.

So last night around 3 a.m. I checked The Leaky Cauldron and it said AOL leaked the new Half-Blood Prince trailer. My heart literally stopped and I clicked it.

here.

I have a new respect for AOL, which they lost a long time ago from me.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY.

Today, my love Shelana turns 24. No longer is her getting older creepy cos I'm 18 now. Yay!

Beverly Hills.

I'm comfortably home and finally able to catch up on my internet-ing. I have way too many places I post and shit. It's not cool. This is gonna take hours. Anyways, today I hung out in my brother-in-law's Starbucks in Beverly Hills and saw Lorenzo Lamas (I totally had to google who the hell he was while he was standing 2 feet next to me) and Kim Catrall (fucking goddess). I sometimes love how cliche this town can be.

Work.

I'm at my Grandma's house this weekend, basically cut off from the internet world completely. She just got out of the hospital and needs a live-in nurse somewhat. That's me!

Just back from Santa Barbara.

Had a blast, but I gotta go.

Living on the beeeeeach.

I leave for Santa Barbara in four hours and I'm not asleep. Ah! I'm too excited, I don't think I'll want to come home. I'll take pictures so you guys can be jealous about how I'm basically LIVING ON THE BEACH.

50 books progress!

1. Looking for Alaska by John Green (Everyone needs to read this book, IMMEDIATELY.)
2. Bergdorf Blondes by Plum Sykes (I indulged myself in a total guilty pleasure book.)
3. Macbeth by William Shakespeare (This puts his other work TO SHAME.)
4. Nights in Roadanthe by Nicholas Sparks (Does he always have to be so damn depressing?)
5. Twilight by Stephenie Meyer (The infatuation begins...)
6. New Moon by Stephenie Meyer (It grows, and grows, and grows...)
7. Eclipse by Stephenie Meyer (Shit, I'm completely in love with a fictional character.)
8. The Merchant of Venice by William Shakespeare (What a crappy ass ending.)
9. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone by J.K. Rowling (It's summer, which means it's time to re-read the Harry Potter series. It's what I do.)
10. Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets by J.K. Rowling (Page 333, ftw. Everyone reads too much into things, or not enough.)
11. 13 Little Blue Envelopes by Maureen Johnson (It was pretty damn good, but I wish some characters had been developed more to get a clearer picture.)
12. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban by J.K. Rowling (I love this book, I think this is one where Rowling really started to hit her stride.)
13. The Book Thief by Markus Zusak (This book left me in a crying heap of a mess. It was amazing and life-changing. Although I'm sure if they hadn't told you everything ahead of time, I would be even more devastated.)

To read:
-The rest of the Harry Potter series
-I need to get An Abundance of Katherines by John Green
-Breaking Dawn!!!
-The Lovely Bones

Suggestions and recommendations are still greatly appreciated. =)

I have fooled you long enough.

As you have undoubtedly noticed, I've changed my layout. I love the old one but I needed something new. Also, I haven't told you guys this but I hate capital letters, but when I started this blog I vowed to try and write my entries properly to keep up my game. But seriously, I hate capital letters.

I hate sting rays.

Because I promised a sting ray story and someone insisted on reminding me *cough*Hugh*cough*, I'm just copy pasting what I sent to everyone:

"i got stung in the water and i thought it was for a cut for a half hour. i was just like suck it up! but after a half hour i was like, umm i feel it spreading in my foot. i went to one lifeguard and he was like okay a truck's gonna come pick you up and take you down the street to another place where they can take care of it. well they took me to another place that had even more lifeguards. it was like a shack, and the only thing i had to do was put my foot in a bucket with scalding water. whenever it would get too comfortable i would have to turn on the hose and put in more extremely hot water. i was there for over an hour and just talked to the lifeguards and stuff. it was fun after a while, but at first it was just paaaaaaaainful."

P.S. I got new glasses this weekend and I loooooove them.

Happy Anniversary!

Today marks the one year anniversary of the best/worst day of my life. Celebrate the release of Deathly Hallows by re-reading the book, discussing Harry Potter, drawing a scar on your forehead, or just remembering that the weapon we have is love. Thanks for being cheesy with me.



Love,
Nicole.



P.S. Thanks Jo!
P.P.S. I kinda feel like crying now.

I love someecards.

My sister just left my house after we laughed ourselves dead tonight. Oh and I believe I owe a sting ray story in a little while.

Mess.

I just finished reading The Book Thief, and now I'm a mess. God, I'm a mess. My heart is heavy and images are burned into my mind. My mind is flickering with images like a TV looking for the signal. It's flickering when no one has turned it on, and I can't find the power button.

Sting rays suuuuuuuuuuck.

I got stung by a sting ray today. I'll properly tell the story tomorrow when I'm not drunk. (Note: I am right now.)

Why am I awake?!

It is 7:30 a.m. I went to sleep at 5 a.m. So I had a nice 2 1/2 hour nap, and now I'm going to the beach. Huzzah!

Strangers in the night...

I'm going to the beach tomorrow. I would be so excited if it didn't mean I had to get up extremely early. AH.

Mmmm food.

I randomly biked to my friends house where we had a spontaneous sit down 5 course dinner. It was lovely.<3

Ohemgee.

DEFINITELY my favourite Breaking Dawn quote so far!:

Bella: “Jasper? What do vampires do for bachelor parties? You’re not taking him to a strip club, are you?”

I think that's self-explanatory.

Fangirl squee!

Tonight, Entertainment Tonight is supposed to world premiere the second Twilight trailer. I don't think you can comprehend how excited I am. Like, I think I am going insane. Sometimes being a fangirl is a little too much.

<3

One of my best friends randomly showed up on my front porch with boba and a hug for me this afternoon. God I love him.

Get it? WINEHOUSE.

I'm back home now, although I much rather still be in Vegas. It was raining and there was lightning and thunder, my favourite kind of weather. As soon as we get home the rest of the family's depressed while I'm bouncing off the walls. Seriously, they need to all stop wallowing in their self pity and be happy for a change. I'm gonna go watch youtube now!

So much Hairspray!

I'm in Vegas. Danielle and I are bumming it in the hotel room, watching South Park in the dark with sporadic outbursts of lightning. Oh yeah, there's a huge thunder storm. I ran into my cousins today too. How funny, Las Vegas is huge and I manage to run into my cousins. I hope I don't run into somebody else...

Best conversation of the trip (thus far):

Danielle: "You know what's funny?"
Nicole: "What?"
D: "She sings about rehab and her last name's WINEHOUSE. Our last name is Hernandez, what should we sing about?"
N: "Gardeners."

Vegas time!

I leave for Vegas later today. That should be fun, maybe I should go to sleep or something.

Wheeee.

Friends make everything better. Let's go swimming!

Rumours make me exceedingly happy.

"This just in: the second Twilight teaser trailer will be showing in front of The Dark Knight on July 18th! Prepare to be dazzled! ;)"

This is just a rumour for now, no confirmation yet, but HOT DAMN. I was already excited for Dark Knight, but this is just the cherry on top! Except the Half-Blood Prince trailer won't be with it. =( Which is actually pretty good cos I seriously don't think I could handle both those trailers together in one night.

This is what I'm doing with my life:

And yes, my boobs ARE gonna come out any second thank you for asking.

Cool levels.

I don't get how Christopher Walken is so cool. Like, he could be handed anything, and he makes it sound cool in his own weird way. I wish I was cool like Christopher Walken.

Don't stop believin'!

I went back to my high school today to request my transcripts to send to UCSB. It's so weird to go back as an alumni, everyone looks so much smaller...

Can't let go.

The challenge is over but I just got the worst feeling in my stomach when I thought I didn't post yesterday. I just refuse to let it go.

America had a kickass birthday.

We finished blowing shit up at 1:30 in the morning and now we're figuring out sleeping arrangements. Fitting six people into one small room is no small feat. Oh and we only set ONE thing on fire this year. =)

Happy Birthday, America.

TIME TO BLOW SOME SHIT UP.

The nicest kids in town.

I've watched Hairspray three times today. Just to watch James Marsden dance. He is sooooooooooooo much better looking than Zefron. I don't know if you've paid attention, he's CREEPY in this movie. He's a creeper. It's all about the Marsden.

Earlier today I was in on the live blog with John Green. I was in the main chat and had waaaaaaaaay too much fun. I couldn't think of any questions of substance except favourite Beatles song and something else I can't even remember. At the beginning I told him "Nice lighting" and he remarked on that, thought I was being sarcastic. It made me way too happy. I can't wait to meet him and Hank when they come out somewhere this way in October or November. NERDFIGHTERS, DFTBA.

You can watch it here if you want.
Check out the vlogbrothers, you won't be disappointed.

I kinda refuse to give up.

It's not like I have anything better to do this summer. Now, when I move in a little under three months, that's a different story!

Like a crack addict...

It's really hard to just shake off 5 months of incessant blogging like nothing. Well, for me anyways. I'm sure the other participants are doing just fine not blogging. I'm hoping to get involved in something else soon, or some sort of summer deal cos I have nothing to do....
